 Net sales:                2,076.3   billion   (5% increase from the 
                                      yen       same period last year) 
 Operating income:           149.2   billion   (23% increase from the 
                                      yen       same period last year) 
 Income before               185.2   billion   (50% increase from the 
  income taxes:                       yen       same period last year) 
 Net income attributable     131.1   billion   (48% increase from the 
  to Mitsubishi                       yen       same period last year) 
  Electric Corp.: 
 

The business environment in the first half of fiscal 2018, from April through September 2017, experienced a buoyant expansion in the U.S. and gradual trends of recovery in Japan and Europe, despite a modest slowdown in China. 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 half of fiscal 2018 increased by 5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 2,076.3 billion yen due primarily to increased sales in the Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments. Consolidated operating income increased by 23% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 149.2 billion yen, due to increased profits in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems and Electronic Devices segments. Income before income taxes increased by 50% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 185.2 billion yen due primarily to recording a gain from sales of investment securities in Renesas Electronics Corporation as well as improvement of exchange gains and losses. Net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation increased by 48% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 131.1 billion yen.

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 17.7 billion yen to 4,154.5 billion yen. The change in the balance of total assets is mainly attributable to increases in the balances of inventories by 99.0 billion yen as a result of work-in-process as recorded in commensurate with progress in job orders under pertinent contracts, while cash and cash equivalents decreased by 15.6 billion yen, and trade receivables decreased by 121.5 billion yen primarily as a result of credit collection.

Total liabilities decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 150.4 billion yen to 1,881.1 billion yen. The outstanding balances of debts and corporate bonds decreased by 13.5 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 338.5 billion yen, resulting in a decline in the ratio of interest bearing debt to total assets to 8.1%, representing a 0.3 point decrease compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. The outstanding balance of trade payables decreased by 118.4 billion yen, and retirement and severance benefits decreased by 12.5 billion yen, mainly resulting from an increase in pension assets following a rise in stock prices.

The shareholders' equity ratio was recorded at 52.2%, representing a 3.3 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 131.1 billion yen and accumulated other comprehensive income by 39.1 billion yen caused by such factors as the weaker yen and rising stock prices, despite a dividend payment of 38.6 billion yen.

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

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by 68.9 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 108.6 billion yen (cash in) due primarily to increases of payment for accounts payables. Cash flows from investing activities increased by 9.8 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 68.7 billion yen (cash out) due to increases in proceeds from the purchases of tangible fixed assets and other factors. As a result, free cash flow was 39.8 billion yen (cash in). Cash flows from financing activities were 64.0 billion yen (cash out) mainly due to dividend payment.

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 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'.
