MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO
Shiseido aims to become a global player representing Asia with its origins in Japan. Under the theme of getting into a growth trajectory, the new Three-Year Plan will guide Shiseido in achieving a turnaround in Japan and accelerating globalization to evolve into and remain an outstanding company in the future.
The previous plan achieved strong growth overseas, but unfinished issues remain in the Japanese market.
I am Hisayuki Suekawa. I became President & CEO of Shiseido in April 2011. I received the baton of reform from my predecessor, Shinzo Maeda, and will carry it forward as the head of the Company. I intend to lead the advance of Shiseido’s innovation. The year ended M arch 2011 was the final year of the previous Three-Year Plan.Overseas sales increased solidly, with s trong growth in China and the rest of Asia complemented by the sales of Bare Escentuals, Inc., which we acquired in the year ended March 2010. In the domestic market, some sectors such as the self-selection category showed signs of recovery. However, the mid-priced market, a crucial market segment for Shiseido, was challenging and remains an area we must work on. Operating income decreased partly because of lower sales in Japan and nonrecurring costs associated with the acquisition of Bare Escentuals. Our progress overseas during the past three years was impressive. In addition to strengthening cultivation of the global brand , we worked aggressively to enhance competitiveness through initiatives such as accelerating growth in China by concentrating on channel-specific marketing. As a result, we achieved solid sales growth at a compound annual growth rate of 13 percent on a local currency basis. We generated substantial sales growth in all the regions we serve, with compound annual growth rates of 26 percent in the Americas, 11 percent in Asia/Oceania, and 5 percent in Europe. For the year ended March 2011, the overseas sales ratio increased to 42.9 percent, leading me to conclude that we have cultivated strong businesses with a solid foundation. During the previous Three-Year Plan, we implemented all reforms as planned. Some of them succeeded, but we also recognize that our reforms are only halfway complete. My mission is to drive Shiseido’s evolution by taking charge of and accelerating the reforms we have been implementing.

in some areas such as marketing both in Japan and overseas to get Shiseido into a growth trajector y during the year ending March 2012 by steadily enhancing the foundation for accelerating growth from the year ending March 2013.
1982: sixyears of experience as a sales manager in Nara, Japan, began handling strategy formulation and other projects at the head office.
We aim to maximize returns to shareholders through direct means and by generating medium- and long-term share price gains. To this end, our fundamental policy is to make strategic investments that drive earnings growth while raising capital efficiency, which will lead to medium- and long-term increases in dividends and share price. Our target for returns over the medium-term is a consolidated payout ratio of 40 percent. Based on this target, we will prioritize payment of stable dividends while implementing share buybacks in a flexible manner. For the year ending March 2012, we plan to keep annual dividends at 짜50 per share due to the expectation that earnings will increase under the new Three-Year Plan and our continuing emphasis on stable dividends.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the cosmetics market continued to grow overseas, with ongoing recovery in Europe and North America and continued strong market expansion in China and newly industrialized economies. In Japan, the cosmetics market brightened briefly during summer 2010, but overall consumer sentiment was slow to improve and the market continued to contract. In addition, Japan suffered from the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, which was an unprecedented natural disaster. Shiseido devoted all of its capabilities to these corporate activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. As a result, overseas sales increased 21.2 percent compared with the previous fiscal year to ¥287,835 million ($3,461,636 thousand), with recovery of the potential for growth in the markets of Europe and North America and continued strong growth in Asian markets including China. Shiseido also completed the acquisition of U.S. cosmetics company Bare Escentuals, Inc. in March 2010, which added to net sales. In the Japanese market, however, consumer sentiment was slow to improve and a changing market structure that is becoming polarized between highand low-priced products led to continued contraction in the mid-priced cosmetics market, sales in Japan decreased 5.8 percent to ¥382,866 million ($4,604,522 thousand). Consequently, net sales including domestic and overseas sales increased 4.1 percent to ¥670,701 million .

In the first year of the Three-Year Plan that concluded on March 31, 2011, Shiseido had to change its targets for operating profitability, return on equity (ROE; net income divided by average total net assets) and the overseas sales ratio because of the impact of the global financial crisis touched off by the collapse of Lehman Brothers in autumn 2008 and the subsequent changes in

The ratio of personnel expenses to net sales increased 0.7 percentage points to 23.7 percent. In Japan, this ratio rose because bonuses increased while net sales decreased. Overseas, personnel expenses increased with the expansion of operations. However, the ratio of personnel expenses decreased because the rate of increase in personnel expenses was lower than the rate of increase in net sales.
Other Expenses The ratio of other expenses to net sales increased 0.4 percentage points to 21.7 percent despite efforts to reduce costs in response to lower net sales.
Other Income (Expenses) Net other expenses totaled ¥15,763 million ($189,573 thousand), compared with net other expenses of ¥3,612 million ($38,822 thousand) for the previous fiscal year. Reflecting higher interest expenses due to fund

1. BASIS OF PRESENTING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Accounting Principles and Presentation
Amounts in U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of the reader. The rate of ¥83.15 = US$1 prevailing on March 31, 2011 has been used in translating the consolidated financial statements expressed in Japanese yen into U.S. dollars. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts could be readily converted, realized or settled in U.S. dollars at this rate.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (1) Scope of Consolidation
The Company has 97 subsidiaries (companies over which the Company exercises control over operations) as of March 31, 2011 (91 and 99 as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively). The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 include the accounts of the Company and its 95 (86 and 97 as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively) significant subsidiaries (the “Companies”). The Company has 14 affiliates (companies that are not subsidiaries but over which the Company exercises significant influence) as of March 31, 2011 (20 and 17 as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively). Investments in 3 affiliates (3 as of March 31, 2009 and 2010) are accounted for by the equity method as of March 31, 2011. Three companies — MD Beauty Sales, Inc., ID Direct, Inc., and Carita UK Ltd. — are excluded from the scope of consolidation in the current fiscal year because they were liquidated. The major consolidated subsidiaries are listed in “Main Subsidiaries and Affiliates” on page 58. Since the fiscal year for certain consolidated subsidiaries is December 31, their financial statements as of that date are used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.When occur at those subsidiaries between their fiscal year end and the Company’s fiscal year end, these transactions are included in consolidation. Investments in 2 unconsolidated subsidiaries and 11 affiliates not accounted for the equity method are stated at cost as they are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has adopted the “full fair value method” so that all of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are marked to fair value. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All material unrealized profits included in assets resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated.

(2) Inventories Previously, inventories held by the Company for normal sales in the ordinary course of business were valued at cost, determined by the average method, while inventories held by domestic consolidated subsidiaries were valued at cost, determined primarily by the last purchase price method.
