The fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 the business environment continued to be severe with the stagnation in the recovery trend in Europe, slowdown in Chinese economy and slower economic recovery in Japan than expected, despite the yen becoming weaker since the latter half of the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as well as a generally stable economic strength underlying to the U.S. and in emerging countries.

 

Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Electric Group has been working even harder than before to promote growth strategies that take root in its advantages, in addition to continuously implementing the initiatives to strengthen its competitiveness and business structure.

 

As a result, Mitsubishi Electric has recorded consolidated net sales of 3,567.1 billion yen for fiscal year 2013, decreased by 2% compared to the previous fiscal year due to such factors as decreased sales in the Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments.

Income before income taxes decreased by 71% compared to the previous fiscal year to 65.1 billion yen largely as a result of recording 75.7 billion yen as a non-operating expense for refund of overcharged expenses to certain parties in the electronic systems business. Net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation for fiscal year 2013 decreased by 38% compared to the previous fiscal year to 69.5 billion yen due to decrease in tax expenses.

Assets, Liabilities, and Shareholders' Equity

The company's total assets for the fiscal year increased from the end of the previous fiscal year by 18.7 billion yen to 3,410.4 billion yen. This increase is mainly due to a 25.2 billion yen increase in trade receivables, a 14.5 billion yen increase in an inventory and a 46.1 billion yen increase in tangible fixed assets acquired as a result of capital expenditure despite a 93.3 billion yen decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

 

The balance of outstanding debts and corporate bonds fell by 1.7 billion yen from the balance as of the end of the previous fiscal year to 540.5 billion yen, resulting in a decrease of its ratio of interest-bearing debt to total assets to 15.9% (decrease of 0.1 points compared to the end of the previous fiscal year). Trade payables decreased by 47.5 billion yen, and reserves for retirement and severance benefits decreased by 117.1 billion yen, due primarily to an increase in pension assets resulting from a rise in stock prices and other factors.

 

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation shareholders' equity increased by 167.6 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,300.0 billion yen. The ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets was 38.1%, a 4.7-point increase compared to the previous fiscal year.

Cash flows from investing activities decreased by 2.4 billion yen compared to the previous fiscal year to 153.7 billion yen (cash out) due to increases in proceeds from sales of securities and other factors.

CURRENT FORECAST FOR FISCAL 2014

There is a concern about the global economic trend such as the slowdown affecting growth in Chinese and Indian markets as well as the prolonged stagnation of recovery in the European market, while we expect a generally stable economic strength in the U.S. and gradual trend of growth in the emerging markets. The Japanese market is also expected to see a recovery based on the weakened yen and increasing public investment since the latter half of the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Electric Group will proceed in strongly pushing forward its growth strategies including the expansion of its global business, promotion of environment-related businesses and strengthening of its social infrastructure business. To bolster initiatives in continuously achieving its management targets, Mitsubishi Electric Group will continue to increase and strengthen profitability in each business and is committed to continuously implement various Group-wide measures toward uplifting its business performance and financial standing.

MANAGEMENT POLICY

Fundamental Management Policy

Based on its corporate statement "Changes for the Better," the Mitsubishi Electric Group hopes to build a better tomorrow by contributing to the creation of new societies, industries and lifestyles.

 

Keeping this corporate approach in mind, Mitsubishi Electric will establish a solid business foundation and implement sustainable growth through a threefold balanced management policy of "Growth," "Profitability & Efficiency" and "Soundness".

 

Mitsubishi Electric will also work to further enhance its corporate value by integrating vast variety of its competitive electric-electronic businesses with the maximum synergistic effect, and thus make the company capable of responding to the expectations of customers, shareholders and all of its stakeholders.

 

Management Targets

The Mitsubishi Electric Group has established three management targets that it continuously aims to achieve: an operating income ratio of 5% or more, ROE of 10% or more and a ratio of interest-bearing debt to total assets of 15% or less. Business performance for fiscal 2013 showed an operating income ratio of 4.3%, an ROE of 5.7% and a ratio of interest-bearing debt to total assets of 15.9%.

 

Corporate Agenda

Mitsubishi Electric Group-in line with the Balanced Corporate Management initiatives, which stem from the three key viewpoints of "Growth," "Profitability & Efficiency" and "Soundness"-is responding to this business environment by actively promoting a two-tiered growth strategy. Through the VI Strategy,1 which aims at reinforcing individual business segments to "make strong businesses stronger," and the AD Strategy,2 which aims at reinforcing the solutions business centered on strong businesses, the Mitsubishi Electric Group is taking further steps to accelerate the implementation of measures to create an even stronger business structure in such areas as quality, cost, manufacturing technologies, development capabilities, intellectual property rights, and sales and services. Through the sustained implementation of structural reforms, the Mitsubishi Electric Group is working to ensure a stronger business structure.

 

Specifically, the Mitsubishi Electric Group will strengthen its efforts in growing business fields by: promoting environment-related businesses; expanding its businesses in China, India and other emerging markets; strengthening its social infrastructure business; and rolling out solution businesses by integrating technologies and expertise from its security and other businesses. Also, with an objective of strengthening its integrated "craftsmanship," the Group will strengthen its development and productivity in software and hardware, and continue to streamline its productivity with measures such as Just-In-Time production. From the very first stages of design and development, the Mitsubishi Electric Group will strengthen activities that contribute to quality consciousness. The Group will utilize and optimally deploy human resources to enhance competitiveness, and engage in activities such as streamlining its human resources structure from a mid- and long-term perspective. The Mitsubishi Electric Group intends to improve its financial standing by further pursuing such measures as inventory reduction. In addition, the Group will build an optimal business structure and strengthen it both in global terms and for the entire corporate Group. Finally, the Group will enhance its operational structure to manage businesses through integration and coordination among multiple aspects, including research, development, procurement, production, sales and services.

 

In addition, the Mitsubishi Electric Group is committed to enhancing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts based on the Corporate Mission3 and Seven Guiding Principles4. In terms of legal and ethical compliance, the Group has implemented internal control measures and internal training, etc., as a priority task spanning the entire consolidated Mitsubishi Electric Group. Following the issue, however, of infringement of Japan's Antimonopoly Act, regarding certain automotive parts, Mitsubishi Electric was investigated by Japan Fair Trade Commission from July 2011 and received a cease and desist order and a surcharge payment order in November 20125. The issue of overcharged expenses in the company's electronics systems business which arose in January 2012 or after, Mitsubishi Electric was suspended from further bidding by Japan's Ministry of Defense (MOD)6, the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center (CSICE)7, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)7, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)7and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC)8. Four of the company's affiliates were also suspended from further bidding by MOD6. Taking this matter extremely serious, the company will conduct a thorough, full-scale investigation and further strengthen its compliance structure and implement remedial measures in order to recover trust as early as possible. The Group will also promote environmental initiatives to create a low-carbon and recycling-based society.

 

Steadily executing the strategies above, the Mitsubishi Electric Group will work to further enhance its corporate value.
