http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/8910D_-2015-10-29.pdf

 

 

TOKYO, October 29, 2015 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today its financial results for the first half and second quarter, ended September 30, 2015, of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 (fiscal 2016).

 

 

1. Consolidated Half-year Results (April 1, 2015 - September 30, 2015)

Net sales:

2,063.2

billion yen

(5% increase from the same period last year)

Operating income:

127.0

billion yen

(5% increase from the same period last year)

Income before income taxes:

133.0

billion yen

(9% decrease from the same period last year)

Net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corp.:

92.9

billion yen

(5% decrease from the same period last year)

 

The business environment in the first half of fiscal year 2016, from April through September 2015, experienced a stronger trend of economic slowdown in China and other East Asian markets, weakness in consumption in Japan and stronger stagnation in certain emerging markets. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy saw continued buoyancy and the European market showed gradual recovery. In the foreign currency exchange market, the yen was weaker against the U.S. dollar compared to the previous year.

 

Under these circumstances, consolidated net sales in the first half of fiscal 2016 increased by 5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 2,063.2 billion yen, due to increased sales in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments. Consolidated operating income also increased by 5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 127.0 billion yen, due to increased profits in the Industrial Automation Systems and Electronic Devices segments.

Total sales:

523.7

billion yen

(4% increase from the same period last year)

Operating income:

3.7

billion yen

(8.7 billion yen decrease from the same period last year)

The social infrastructure systems business saw increases both in orders and sales compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to increases in the power systems business and the rolling-stock equipment business in Japan, and also due to the weaker yen.

 

The building systems business experienced increases both in orders and sales compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, owing to growth in the new installation of elevators and escalators outside Japan and the renewal business in Japan, as well as the weaker yen.

As a result, total sales for this segment increased by 4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Operating income decreased by 8.7 billion yen from the same period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a shift in project portfolios and lower profit in the power systems business.

The Company's total assets as of the end of this fiscal quarter decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 195.5 billion yen to 3,863.8 billion yen. The change in the balance of total assets mainly resulted from increases in the balances of cash and cash equivalents of 4.9 billion yen, and inventories of 11.8 billion yen as a result of work-in-process recorded in commensurate with progress in job orders under pertinent contracts, while trade receivables showed a decrease of 178.8 billion yen resulting from various factors including credit collection.

 

Total liabilities decreased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 163.4 billion yen to 1,965.8 billion yen. The outstanding balances of debts and corporate bonds decreased by 24.5 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 357.4 billion yen. The ratio of interest bearing debt to total assets declined to 9.3%, which was a 0.1 point decrease compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. Retirement and severance benefits increased by 16.8 billion yen, mainly owing to a decrease in pension assets resulting from a decline in stock prices, while trade payables decreased by 117.1 billion yen and other current liabilities decreased by 42.6 billion yen.

 

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation shareholders' equity decreased by 30.3 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,811.8 billion yen. Shareholders' equity ratio, representing a 1.5 point increase compared to the end of the previous fiscal year, was recorded at 46.9%. The changes referred to above primarily resulted from a dividend payment of 38.6 billion yen, together with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income by 84.6 billion yen due to such factors as the decline in stock prices, despite a recorded net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of 92.9 billion yen.

 

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by 45.4 billion yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 179.8 billion yen (cash in) resulting primarily from a decrease in advance payments.

Forecast for Fiscal 2016 (year ending March 31, 2016) 

 

The consolidated earnings forecast for fiscal 2016, ending March 31, 2016, has been revised from the previous forecast announced on July 30, 2015. Net sales is expected to exceed the previous forecast owing mainly to increases in the Energy and Electric Systems and the Home Appliances segments largely resulting from the positive influence of the weaker yen. Operating income is, however, expected to fall below the previous forecast due primarily to lower profit in the Energy and Electric Systems segment and decreasing revenues in the Information and Communication Systems and Electronic Devices segments. Net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corp. is expected to remain unchanged from the previous forecast due mainly to decreases in non-operating expense and tax expense.

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 our 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.
