for the First 9 Months and Third Quarter of Fiscal 2017

TOKYO, February 2, 2017 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today its financial results for the first 9 months and third quarter ended December 31, 2016, of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 (fiscal 2017).

1. Consolidated First 9 Months Results (April 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016)

 
 Net sales:                      2,947.1   (5% decrease from the same 
                                 billion    period last year) 
                                     yen 
 Operating income:         175.5 billion   (15% decrease from the 
                                     yen    same period last year) 
 Income before             196.1 billion   (10% decrease from the 
  income taxes:                      yen    same period last year) 
 Net income attributable   135.3 billion   (11% decrease from the

  Mitsubishi Electric 
  Corp.: 
 

In the first 9 months of fiscal 2017, the business environment was buoyed by the expanding U.S. economy and gradual recoveries in Japan and Europe, as well as modest improvement in China's economic slowdown. In addition, the yen became stronger against foreign currencies compared to the previous year, but weakened after the U.S. presidential election in November.

Under these circumstances, consolidated net sales for the first 9 months of fiscal 2017 decreased by 5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 2,947.1 billion yen, with decreased sales in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Information and Communication Systems and Electronic Devices segments. Consolidated operating income decreased by 15% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 175.5 billion yen, due to decreased profits in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems and Electronic Devices segments.

Consolidated Financial Results by Business Segment (First 9 months, Fiscal 2017)

Energy and Electric Systems

 
 Total sales:   784.7 billion   (3% decrease from the same 
                          yen    period last year)

  income:                 yen    from the same period last 
                                 year) 
 

The social infrastructure systems business saw no change in orders, while sales decreased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to decreases in the public utility systems business in Japan as well as the power systems and the transportation systems business outside Japan. In addition, the stronger yen had the negative influences.

The building systems business experienced decreases in both orders and sales compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, due primarily to negative influences caused by the stronger yen, despite the growth in the renewal business in Japan, as well as the installation business of new elevators and escalators outside Japan.

As a result, total sales for this segment decreased by 3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Operating income decreased by 4.6 billion yen from the same period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in sales.

                                 year) 
 

The factory automation systems business saw an increase in orders from the same period of the previous fiscal year primarily due to growth in capital expenditures in the fields of smartphones, electrical cars in China and organic light emitting diodes (OLED) mainly in Korea, while sales decreased from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to decreased capital expenditures in photovoltaic systems in Japan and the negative influences caused by the stronger yen.

The automotive equipment business saw decreases in both orders and sales from the same period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to stagnation in car sales in Japan and the negative influences caused by the stronger yen, despite growth in car sales mainly in Europe.

As a result, total sales for this segment decreased by 4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Operating income decreased by 24.6 billion yen from the same period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in sales.

  income:                 yen    last year)

  income:                 yen    from the same period last 
                                 year) 
 

The electronic devices business saw an increase in orders from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in optical communication devices, while sales decreased by 18% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in demand for power modules, along with the negative influences caused by the stronger yen.

Financial Standing

An Analysis on the Status of Assets, Liabilities, Equity and Cash Flow on a Consolidated Basis

The Company's total assets as of the end of this fiscal quarter decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 82.5 billion yen to 3,977.3 billion yen. The change in the balance of total assets was mainly due to a 19.7 billion yen decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a 167.4 billion yen decrease in trade receivables due to factors including credit collection, on the other hand, work-in-process to be recorded in commensurate with progress in job orders under pertinent contracts increased by 113.8 billion yen.

Total liabilities decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 186.5 billion yen to 1,935.9 billion yen due mainly to a 79.6 billion yen decrease in the outstanding balance of trade payables and a 24.6 billion yen decrease in retirement and severance benefits, mainly resulting from an increase in pension assets following a rise in stock prices. The outstanding balances of debts and corporate bonds decreased by 31.9 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 372.0 billion yen. The ratio of interest bearing debt to total assets declined to 9.4%, which was a 0.6 point decrease compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation shareholders' equity increased by 101.6 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,940.4 billion yen. The shareholders' equity ratio was recorded at 48.8%, representing a 3.5 point increase compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. These changes referred above primarily resulted from recording a net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of 135.3 billion yen, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income by 25.2 billion yen caused by such factors as the rise in stock prices, despite a decrease in dividend payment of 57.9 billion yen.

Cash flows from operating activities increased by 6.0 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 171.5 billion yen (cash in). Cash flows from investing activities decreased by 98.4 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 90.8 billion yen (cash out) due to a decrease in proceeds from the purchases of short-term investments and investment securities and other factors.

Cautionary Statement

The Mitsubishi Electric Group (hereafter "the Group") is involved in development, manufacture and sales in a wide range of fields including Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Information and Communication Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances, and these operations extend globally, not only inside Japan, but also in North America, Europe, Asia and other regions. While the statements herein are based on certain assumptions and premises that the Company trusts and considers to be reasonable under the circumstances on the date of announcement, actual 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 Mitsubishi Electric 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.
