ANNOUNCEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

PANASONIC REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

- Overall Sales Down due to Weak Demand for AV products in Japan;

Earnings Turnaround on Improved Management Structure -

Osaka, Japan, July 31, 2012 — Panasonic Corporation (Panasonic [NYSE: PC/TSE:6752]) today reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter, ended June 30, 2012, of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 (fiscal 2013).

Consolidated First-quarter Results

Consolidated group sales for the first quarter decreased by 6% to 1,814.5 billion yen due mainly to weak demand for AV products in Japan, compared with 1,929.5 billion yen for the first quarter of the year ended March 31, 2012 (fiscal 2012). Of the consolidated group total, domestic sales amounted to 922.1 billion yen, down by 5% from 967.6 billion yen a year ago. Overseas sales decreased by 7% to 892.4 billion yen from 961.9 billion yen a year ago.

During the first quarter under review, the Japanese market showed a slow recovery with an increasing number of housing starts due to growing reconstruction demand following the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the government’s eco-housing subsidy. Another factor is automobile sales growth thanks to the eco-car subsidy. However, the home electronics market, especially flat-panel TVs, continued to be very difficult.

In the meantime, the global economy as a whole slowed down caused by the economic turmoil re-triggered by the European financial crisis, despite signs of economic recovery in some regions.

Under such business circumstances, Panasonic has been working towards establishing new profit-making business models and recovering business performance with the united efforts of all Panasonic under the new business structure which enables the company to strengthen a more direct relationship with consumers globally.

Operating profit1 increased to 38.6 billion yen from 5.6 billion yen a year ago, while pre-tax income and net income attributable to Panasonic Corporation increased to 37.8 billion yen and 12.8 billion yen from a loss of 17.4 billion yen and a loss of 30.4 billion yen, respectively. Despite sales decline and yen appreciation, these results were due mainly to fixed cost reductions and streamlining of material costs.

Breakdown by Segment

The company restructured its Group organization on January 1, 2012, resulting in the reportable number of segments from six to eight. Accordingly, segment information for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 has been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the same period of fiscal 2013.

The company’s first quarter consolidated sales and profits by segment with previous year comparisons are summarized as follows:

AVC Networks

Sales decreased by 20% to 359.7 billion yen from 449.9 billion yen a year ago. Despite favorable sales of PCs and others, this result was due mainly to significant sales decline in flat-panel TVs and BD recorders in Japan. Segment profit significantly improved to 7.4 billion yen, compared with a loss of 3.8 billion yen a year ago due mainly to fixed cost reduction and restructuring effects.

Appliances

Sales increased by 3% to 431.4 billion yen, compared with 417.7 billion yen a year ago. Despite sales decreases in compressors and motors, this result was due mainly to sales increases in refrigerators and washing machines. Segment profit increased by 7% to 37.4 billion yen, compared with 34.9 billion yen a year ago due mainly to fixed cost reduction.

Systems & Communications

Sales decreased by 9% to 164.5 billion yen from 181.6 billion yen a year ago due mainly to sales decreases in system-related equipment such as compact multifunction printers and private branch exchange (PBX) products. Segment loss amounted to 8.3 billion yen compared with a loss of 9.9 billion yen a year ago.

Eco Solutions

Overall sales remained stable at 355.2 billion yen compared with 356.5 billion yen a year ago. Despite sales increases in the lighting and environmental system businesses, this result was due mainly to sales decreases in the energy system business especially home use fire prevention devices in Japan. Segment profit decreased by 37% to 3.9 billion yen from 6.1 billion yen a year ago.

Automotive Systems

Sales significantly increased by 71% to 190.7 billion yen from 111.7 billion yen a year ago due mainly to strong sales in car AVC equipment and car navigation systems compared with the fiscal 2012 results affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Segment profit significantly improved to 4.2 billion yen compared with segment loss of 3.7 billion yen a year ago due mainly to sales increase.

Industrial Devices

Sales decreased by 7% to 338.2 billion yen from 364.0 billion yen a year ago. Despite sales increases in electronic components and materials, this result was due mainly to sales decreases in optical pickups and semiconductors. Segment profit significantly improved to 7.3 billion yen compared with a loss of 2.7 billion yen a year ago due mainly to fixed cost reduction.

Energy

Sales decreased by 2% to 142.6 billion yen from 145.1 billion yen a year ago. Despite sales increases in automotive-use batteries, and solar photovoltaic systems in Japan, this result was due mainly to sales decreases in consumer-use lithium-ion batteries and dry batteries. Segment profit amounted to 0.1 billion yen compared with a loss of 7.5 billion a year ago due mainly to fixed cost reduction and streamlining material costs.

Other

Sales decreased by 29% to 343.5 billion yen from 484.5 billion yen a year ago. The sales decline owing to the SANYO-related business transfers implemented in fiscal 2012 led to the overall sales decrease. Segment profit increased by 6% to 4.1 billion yen from 3.9 billion yen a year ago due mainly to fixed cost reduction.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 amounted to 53.8 billion yen compared with an outflow of 34.6 billion yen a year ago. This difference was due to a positive net income in first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with a net loss of fiscal 2012, and a decrease in working capital (net of trade receivables, inventories and trade payables). Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to 1.3 billion yen compared with an outflow of 56.4 billion yen a year ago. This was due primarily to a decrease in capital expenditures and an increase in proceeds from disposals of investments and property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities increased by 37.9 billion yen to 73.8 billion yen, due mainly to a decrease in short-term bonds balance. Taking into consideration exchange rate fluctuations, cash and cash equivalents totaled 536.7 billion yen as of June 30, 2012, down 37.8 billion yen, compared with the end of the last fiscal year.

The company’s consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2012 decreased by 168.3 billion yen to 6,432.7 billion yen from March 31, 2012. This was due mainly to a decrease in investments and advances, affected by the disposition and decline of the market value in investment, in addition to appreciation of the yen. Panasonic Corporation shareholders’ equity decreased by 62.6 billion yen, compared with March 31, 2012, to 1,867.2 billion yen. This was due mainly to deterioration in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) along with appreciation of the yen and decline of the market value in investment. Adding Noncontrolling interests to Panasonic Corporation shareholders’ equity, total equity decreased by 73.1 billion yen to 1,904.4 billion yen compared with March 31, 2012.

Notes to consolidated financial statements:

 

1. The company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).

 

2. In order to be consistent with generally accepted financial reporting practices in Japan, operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, is presented as net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. The company believes that this is useful to investors in comparing the company’s financial results with those of other Japanese companies. Please refer to the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and Note 3 for the U.S. GAAP reconciliation.

 

3. Under U.S. GAAP, expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs at certain domestic and overseas companies and the impairment loss on goodwill and fixed assets are included as part of operating profit in the statement of operations.

 

4. In June 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” Accordingly, the company adopted ASU 2011-05 from fiscal 2013 and presents the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) following the consolidated statement of operations.

 

5. In other income (deductions), the company incurred expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs of certain domestic and overseas companies.

 

6. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Panasonic Corporation common shareholders has been omitted because the company did not have potential common shares that were outstanding for the period.

 

7. Regarding consolidated segment profit (loss), expenses for basic research and administrative expenses at the corporate headquarters level are treated as unallocatable expenses for each segment, and are included in Corporate and eliminations.

 

8. Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. and Panasonic Electronic Devices Japan Co., Ltd., were absorbed by the company on April 1, 2012.

 

9. Effective from the beginning of fiscal 2013, investments and depreciation expenses in molding dies are included in “Capital investment” and “Depreciation (tangible assets),” respectively. Accordingly, the amounts of “Depreciation (tangible assets)” and “Capital investment” of supplementary information on consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2012 are changed. The related amounts of the consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated balance sheets for fiscal 2012 are also changed.

 

10. The company’s segments are classified according to a business domain-based management system, which focuses on global consolidated management by each business domain company, in order to ensure consistency of its internal management structure and disclosure.
