Consolidated Financial Results

 
 Net sales:                1,005.5   billion   (8% increase from the

 Income before                99.2   billion   (63% increase from the 
  income taxes:                       yen       same quarter last year)

The global economy in the first quarter (from April through June 2017) of fiscal 2018 saw a continuing recovery trend in China, a buoyant expansion in the U.S. and gradual trends of recovery in Japan and Europe. In addition, the yen weakened against the U.S. dollar and the euro in and after May compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Under these circumstances, consolidated net sales in the first quarter increased by 8% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 1,005.5 billion yen with increased sales in all segments. Consolidated operating income increased by 24% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 74.2 billion yen, due primarily to increased profits in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems and Electronic Devices segments.

                                     year) 
 

The telecommunications systems business saw decreases in both orders and sales compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to decreased demand in communications infrastructure equipment.

The information systems and service business saw an increase in sales compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly owing to an increase in the system integrations business.

Financial Standing

An analysis on the status of assets, liabilities and equity on a consolidated basis

Total assets as of the end of this fiscal quarter decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 54.8 billion yen to 4,117.3 billion yen. The change in balance of total assets is mainly attributable to increases in the balances of cash and cash equivalents by 50.4 billion yen, and of inventories by 80.3 billion yen as a result of work-in-process as recorded in commensurate with progress in job orders under pertinent contracts, while trade receivables decreased by 168.2 billion yen primarily as a result of credit collection.

Total liabilities decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 79.6 billion yen to 1,951.9 billion yen. The outstanding balances of debts and corporate bonds decreased by 0.2 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 351.8 billion yen, resulting in a rise in the ratio of interest bearing debt to total assets to 8.5%, representing a 0.1 point increase compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. Trade payables decreased by 56.6 billion yen, and retirement and severance benefits decreased by 7.2 billion yen due primarily to an increase in pension assets resulting from a rise in stock prices and other factors.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation shareholders' equity increased by 23.6 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 2,063.2 billion yen. The shareholders' equity ratio was recorded at 50.1%, representing a 1.2 point increase compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. These changes referred to above primarily result from recording a net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of 67.7 billion yen, despite decreases in dividend payment of 38.6 billion yen as well as in accumulated other comprehensive income by 4.7 billion yen caused by such factors as a decrease in unrealized losses from sale of securities.

An analysis on the status of cash flow on a consolidated basis

Cash flows from operating activities for this quarter increased by 4.3 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 113.5 billion yen (cash in). Cash flows from investing activities decreased by 0.4 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 22.2 billion yen (cash out). As a result, free cash flow was 91.3 billion yen (cash in). Cash flows from financing activities were 43.8 billion yen (cash out) mainly due to dividend payments.

Forecast for Fiscal 2018

As a result of the company's revised terms of foreign currency rates in which it sees the yen weaker mainly against the euro in and after the second quarter of fiscal 2018, as well as growth expected in the Industrial Automation Systems segment in which it sees an increase in demand for capital expenditures mainly in Asia, the company's consolidated earnings forecast for the first half of fiscal 2018, ending September 30, 2017, and for fiscal 2018, ending March 31, 2018, have been revised from the announcement on April 28, 2017 as stated below.

Other income increased by 10.0 billion yen due primarily to a higher than expected gain in sales of investment securities in Renesas Electronics Corporation.

While the statements herein are based on certain assumptions and premises that the Group trusts and considers to be reasonable under the circumstances on the date of announcement, actual financial standings and operating results are subject to change due to any of the factors as contemplated hereunder and/or any additional factor unforeseeable as of the date of this announcement. Such factors materially affecting the expectations expressed herein shall include but are not limited to the following:

(1) Important trends

The Group's operations may be affected by trends in the global economy, social conditions, laws, tax codes and regulations.

(2) Foreign currency exchange rates

Fluctuations in foreign currency markets may affect the Group's sales of exported products and purchases of imported materials that are denominated in U.S. dollars or euros, as well as its Asian production bases' sales of exported products and purchases of imported materials that are denominated in foreign currencies.

(3) Stock markets

A fall in stock market prices may cause the Group to record devaluation losses on marketable securities, or cause an increase in retirement benefit obligations in accordance with a decline in the fair value of pension assets.

(4) Supply/demand balance for products and procurement conditions for materials and components

A decline in prices and shipments due to changes in the supply/demand balance, as well as an increase in material prices due to a worsening of material and component procurement conditions, may adversely affect the Group's performance.

(5) Fund raising

An increase in interest rates, the yen interest rate in particular, would increase the Group's interest expenses.

(6) Significant patent matters

Important patent filings, licensing, copyrights and patent-related disputes may adversely affect related businesses.

(7) Environmental legislation or relevant issues

The Group may incur losses or expenses owing to changes in environmental legislation or the occurrence of environmental issues. Such changes in legislation or the occurrence of environmental issues may also impact manufacturing and all corporate activities of the Group.

(8) Flaws or defects in products or services

The Group may incur losses or expenses resulting out of flaws or defects in products or services, and the lowered reputation of the quality of all its products and services may affect the entire Group.

(9) Litigation and other legal proceedings

The Group's operations may be affected by lawsuits or other legal proceedings against Mitsubishi Electric, its subsidiaries and/or equity-method affiliated companies.

(10) Disruptive changes

Disruptive changes in technology, development of products using new technology, timing of production and market introduction may adversely affect the Group's performance.

(11) Business restructuring

The Group may record losses due to restructuring measures.

(12) Information security

The performance of the Group may be affected by computer virus infections, unauthorized access and other unpredictable incidents that lead to the loss or leakage of personal information held by the Group or confidential information regarding the Group's business such as its technology, sales and other operations.

(13) Natural disasters

The Group's operations, particularly manufacturing activities, may be affected by the occurrence of earthquakes, typhoons, tsunami, fires and other large-scale disasters.

(14) Other significant factors

The Group's operations may be affected by the outbreak of social or political upheaval due to terrorism, war, pandemic by new strains of influenza and other diseases, or other factors.

Notes

1. Change in the accounting policy

On April 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2015-17 "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. To reflect this adoption, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets and subsequently, deferred tax assets and liabilities in the same tax-paying component or tax jurisdiction were offset. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 has been reclassified to reflect this adoption and accordingly, deferred tax assets previously included in 'Prepaid expenses and other current assets' and deferred tax liabilities previously included in 'Other liabilities' have been reclassified as 'Other assets'.
