II | The Business |
(1) | Operating Results |
In the electronics industry during the first quarter under review, while there was a growing demand before the Beijing Olympics, severe business conditions continued both in Japan and overseas, due mainly to price declines centered on digital products, a stronger yen against the U.S. dollar and rising prices for raw materials and energy. Under these circumstances, in fiscal 2009 as the middle year of the three-year mid-term management plan GP3, Matsushita is striving to produce successful results and create a new trend for achieving goals. Aiming at getting growth back on track and strengthening profitability, Matsushita is implementing initiatives focused on four major themes: double-digit growth in overseas sales, expansion of four strategic businesses, manufacturing innovation and the eco ideas strategy.
Consolidated group sales for the first quarter amounted to 2,152.0 billion yen. Explaining the first quarter results, sales gains were recorded in digital AV products.
Regarding earnings, operating profit* for the first quarter amounted to 109.6 billion yen. Despite the negative effects of intensified global price competition and a stronger yen against the U.S. dollar, as well as rising prices for crude oil and other raw materials, this result was due primarily to sales gains in real terms excluding the effects of JVC**, and comprehensive cost reduction activities including materials costs and fixed costs.
In other income (deductions), the Company recorded 7.2 billion yen as interest income and 5.3 billion yen as dividends received. These and other factors resulted in income before income taxes of 119.3 billion yen.
Provision for income taxes amounted to 42.4 billion yen and the effective tax rate to income before income taxes resulted in 35.6%, due mainly to increased tax advantage in overseas subsidiaries in lower tax countries.
Minority interests and equity in earnings of associated companies were 4.1 billion yen and 0.3 billion yen, respectively.
As a result of all the factors stated, the Company recorded a net income of 73.0 billion yen.
* | In order to be consistent with financial reporting practices generally accepted in Japan, operating profit (loss) is presented as net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs at certain domestic and overseas companies are included as part of operating profit in the consolidated statements of income.
| |
** | Victor Company of Japan, Ltd. and its subsidiaries became associated companies under the equity method from Matsushitas consolidated subsidiaries from August 2007. Accordingly, sales of JVC from August 2007 to September 2007 are excluded from the consolidated group sales. |

(2) | Operating Results by Business Field and by Business Segment |
The Companys business segment classifications consist of five segments, namely, Digital AVC Networks, Home Appliances, MEW and PanaHome, Components and Devices, and Other.
Matsushita will accelerate a phase change for further growth toward global excellence. From fiscal 2009 onward, with the aim at further clarifying its business fields for investors, Matsushita will newly disclose three business fields of the group which consist of five business segments as follows:
Digital AVC Networks Solution:
Digital AVC Networks segment
Solutions for the Environment and Comfortable Living:
Home Appliances and MEW and PanaHome segments
Devices and Industry Solution:
Components and Devices and Other segments
1. Digital AVC Networks Solution
Sales of Digital AVC Networks Solution amounted 1,046.4 billion yen and segment profit was 55.0 billion yen. The breakdown is as follows:
a. Digital AVC Networks
Digital AVC Networks sales amounted to 1,046.4 billion yen. A significant sales increase of flat-panel TVs in video and audio equipment, as well as favorable sales of digital cameras and DVD recorders, contributed to an overall sales increase. Sales of information and communications equipment decreased due mainly to sluggish sales in automotive electronics equipment. Despite the price declines mainly in digital AV products, segment profit amounted to 55.0 billion yen. This was due primarily to sales increases of flat-panel TVs, digital cameras, DVD recorders and mobile phones, in addition to the rationalization effects.
2. Solutions for the Environment and Comfortable Living
Sales of Solutions for the Environment and Comfortable Living amounted to 784.8 billion yen and segment profit was 42.0 billion yen. The breakdown is as follows:
b. Home Appliances
Sales of Home Appliances amounted to 352.1 billion yen. Despite sluggish sales in compressors and other products, favorable sales in refrigerators and electric lamps contributed to an overall sales increase. Despite the negative effects of rising raw materials prices, segment profit amounted to 31.5 billion yen, due primarily to the rationalization effects and sales gains in high value-added products such as refrigerators.
- 8 -
c. MEW and PanaHome
Sales of MEW and PanaHome amounted to 432.8 billion yen. At MEW and its subsidiaries, sales gains were recorded with favorable sales in electrical construction materials and automation controls. At PanaHome Corporation and its subsidiaries, sluggish housing market conditions led to a decrease in sales. Segment profit amounted to 10.5 billion yen, mainly as a result of rationalization effects.
3. Devices and Industry Solution
Sales of Devices and Industry Solution amounted to 624.0 billion yen and segment profit was 33.4 billion yen. The breakdown is as follows:
d. Components and Devices
Sales of Components and Devices amounted to 334.6 billion yen. Sluggish sales of general electronic components and batteries resulted in a decrease in sales. Segment profit amounted to 19.5 billion yen, mainly as a result of rationalization efforts.
e. Other
Sales for Other amounted to 289.4 billion yen, due mainly to sales gains in factory automation equipment. Segment profit amounted to 13.9 billion yen, mainly as a result of an increase in sales.
First-quarter Results by Domestic and Overseas Company Location*
* | The following information shows the geographical sales and profit by region for the three months ended June 30, 2008. |
Japan
Although sales gains were recorded in flat-panel TVs, DVD recorders, mobile phones and refrigerators, sales of companies in Japan amounted to 1,638.5 billion yen. This was due mainly to a decrease in sales as a result of deconsolidation of JVC. Profit in this region amounted to 100.7 billion yen, as a result of sales gains in real terms excluding the effects of JVC and the rationalization effects.
Americas
Although sales gains were recorded in flat-panel TVs, digital cameras and DVD recorders, sales of companies in the Americas amounted to 275.0 billion yen. This was due mainly to a decrease in sales as a result of deconsolidation of JVC and the effects of a stronger yen against the U.S. dollar. Profit in this region amounted to 4.3 billion yen mainly as a result of rationalization efforts.
- 9 -
Europe
Although favorable sales were recorded in flat-panel TVs and digital cameras, sales of companies in Europe amounted to 294.3 billion yen. This was due mainly to a decrease in sales as a result of deconsolidation of JVC. Profit in this region resulted in a loss of 0.3 billion yen. Despite the rationalization efforts, the effect of price declines led to this result.
Asia and Others
Despite a decrease in sales as a result of deconsolidation of JVC, sales of companies in Asia and Others amounted to 733.9 billion yen. This was due mainly to favorable sales in flat-panel TVs, digital cameras and other digital AV products, as well as white goods such as air-conditioners and refrigerators. Geographical profit amounted to 33.9 billion yen, due mainly to favorable sales and rationalization effects.
(3) | Consolidated Assets, Liabilities, Minority Interests and Stockholders Equity |
The Companys consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2008 increased 171.6 billion yen to 7,615.2 billion yen, compared with 7,443.6 billion yen at the end of fiscal 2008. With regard to assets, inventories increased to 138.5 billion yen for seasonal factors, compared with the end of fiscal 2008.
With regard to liabilities, current liabilities were up by 79.4 billion yen and fixed liabilities were up by 65.2 billion yen from the end of fiscal 2008, due mainly to an increase in short-term borrowings and an issuance of bonds in its subsidiary. Accordingly, total liabilities resulted in 3,331.2 billion yen.
Minority interests increased 1.7 billion yen to 516.2 billion yen.
Stockholders equity increased 25.4 billion yen, compared with the end of the last fiscal years 3,742.3 billion yen, to 3,767.7 billion yen. Treasury stock increased 40.7 billion yen, as a result of the repurchase of the Companys own shares as part of Matsushitas financial strategy to enhance shareholder value. Pension liability adjustments decreased 72.7 billion yen, due mainly to a change in the measurement date to March 31 for those postretirement benefit plans with a December 31 measurement date in conformity with the provisions regarding the change in the measurement date of postretirement benefit plan of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158. Meanwhile, other retained earnings increased 30.4 billion yen and cumulative translation adjustments increased 86.2 billion yen as a result of the correction of the yen appreciation against the U.S. dollar.
- 10 -
(4) | Cash Flows |
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the fiscal 2009 first quarter amounted to 122.8 billion yen. Despite increased inventories, this was attributable mainly to net income and depreciation.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 184.9 billion yen. Capital expenditures for tangible fixed assets were 163.5 billion yen, mainly consisting of manufacturing facilities for priority business areas such as plasma display panels (PDP), liquid crystal display (LCD) panels and semiconductors.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 35.8 billion yen. Although long-term liabilities increased associated with the issuance of bonds in its subsidiary, an increase in repurchase of the Companys common stock and dividends payments led to overall increase in cash outflows.
With all these activities, cash and cash equivalents for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, with a positive effect of 39.7 billion yen for exchange rate changes, resulted in 1,156.6 billion yen.
(5) | Research and Development |
Matsushitas R&D expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled 131.1 billion yen.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(c) | Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned, controlled subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates entities in which controlling interest exists through variable interests in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Investments in companies and joint ventures over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally through an ownership interest of between 20% to 50%) are included in Investments and advances in the consolidated balance sheets. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(d) | Use of Estimates |
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(e) | Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company applied SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008. In February 2008, FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which partially delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 by one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements and the Company has omitted the disclosures required by SFAS No. 157.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS No. 158s provisions regarding the change in the measurement date of postretirement benefit plans require the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations to be measured as of the date of the fiscal year-end consolidated balance sheet and the Company applied SFAS No. 158s provisions on April 1, 2008. In conformity with the provisions, the Company and certain subsidiaries changed the measurement date to March 31 for those postretirement benefit plans with a December 31 measurement date. With the change in the measurement date, beginning balances of Retained earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)Pension liability adjustments at April 1, 2008 has been reduced by 3,727 million yen and 73,571 million yen, respectively.

(11) | Derivatives and Hedging Activities |
The Company operates internationally, giving rise to significant exposure to market risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company assesses these risks by continually monitoring changes in these exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Derivative financial instruments utilized by the Company to hedge these risks are comprised principally of foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and commodity derivatives. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for any purposes other than hedging.
Gains and losses related to derivative instruments are classified in other income (deductions) in the consolidated statements of income. The amount of the hedging ineffectiveness and net gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is not material for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30, 2008 are expected to be recognized in earnings principally over the next twelve months. The maximum term over which the Company is hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows for foreign currency exchange risk is approximately five months.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to the derivative contracts, but such risk is considered mitigated by the high credit rating of the counterparties.
(12) | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities |
The Company provides guarantees to third parties mainly on bank loans provided to associated companies and customers. The guarantees are made to enhance their credit. For each guarantee provided, the Company is required to perform under the guarantee if the guaranteed party defaults on a payment. At June 30, 2008, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company would have to make in the event of default is 16,220 million yen. The carrying amount of the liabilities recognized for the Companys obligations as a guarantor under those guarantees at June 30 and March 31, 2008 was insignificant.
In connection with the sale and lease back of certain machinery and equipment, the Company guarantees a specific value of the leased assets. For each guarantee provided, the Company is required to perform under the guarantee if certain conditions are met during or at the end of the lease term. At June 30, 2008, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company would have to make in the event that these conditions are met is 35,228 million yen. The carrying amount of the liabilities recognized for the Companys obligations as guarantors under those guarantees at June 30 and March 31 was insignificant.
