1. Review of operations and financial condition

(1) Summary of the results of operations for the three months under review

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, revenues of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Company”) increased ¥25.4 billion [11.8 %], to ¥240.5 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year.

Domestic revenues rose ¥9.2 billion [9.2 %], to ¥109.0 billion. All reporting segments recorded increases in domestic revenues.

Overseas revenues expanded ¥16.2 billion [14.0 %], to ¥131.5 billion. Although revenues in Water & Environment were at the almost same level as in the corresponding period in the prior year, revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery increased substantially.

Operating income rose a slight ¥0.1 billion [0.5 %], to ¥22.0 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year. The negative impact of yen appreciation and higher pension costs were compensated by the impact of increased revenues. Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies decreased ¥1.0 billion [4.2 %], to ¥22.0 billion, due to the deterioration of other gain and loss. Income taxes were ¥8.0 billion and net income decreased ¥0.8 billion [5.0 %], to ¥14.3 billion. Net income attributable to Kubota Corporation declined ¥0.8 billion [5.7 %], to ¥12.8 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year.

Revenues from external customers and operating income by each reporting segment are as follows.

1) Farm & Industrial Machinery

Farm & Industrial Machinery comprises farm equipment, engines, and construction machinery.

Revenues in this segment increased 13.5 %, to ¥185.5 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year and accounted for 77.1 % of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues expanded 11.1 %, to ¥59.7 billion. Sales of construction machinery and engines increased sharply due to the demand for reconstruction work following the Great East Japan Earthquake, and sales of farm equipment also increased.

Overseas revenues grew 14.6 %, to ¥125.8 billion. In North America, sales of tractors increased. In addition, sales of engines and construction machinery rose substantially owing to the strong demand. In Europe, sales of construction machinery and engines increased. Moreover, sales of farm equipment expanded substantially due to the inclusion within the scope of consolidation of businesses acquired in the prior fiscal year. Revenues in Asia outside Japan increased overall due to the continuing rise in sales of tractors, combine harvesters, and rice transplanters. On the other hand, sales of construction machinery in China decreased owing to the decline in demand, and sales of engines decreased due to the aftereffects of the Thailand Floods.

Operating income in Farm & Industrial Machinery decreased a slight 0.4 %, to ¥24.2 billion, due to the impact of yen appreciation and other factors.

2) Water & Environment

Water & Environment comprises pipe-related products (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, valves, pumps, and other products), environment-related products (environmental plants and other products) and social infrastructure-related products (industrial castings, spiral welded steel pipes, vending machines, precision equipment, air-conditioning equipment, and other products).

Revenues in this segment increased 5.8 %, to ¥47.9 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year and accounted for 19.9 % of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues rose 6.6 %, to ¥42.5 billion. Revenues in pipe-related products increased due to the higher sales of ductile iron pipes and pumps, while sales of plastic pipes and valves decreased. Revenues in environment-related products expanded due to the increased sales of water treatment equipment and plants. Revenues in social infrastructure-related products also rose due to higher sales of spiral welded steel pipes and vending machines.

Overseas revenues were ¥5.4 billion, the same level as in the corresponding period in the prior year. Revenues in social infrastructure-related products increased, while revenues in environment-related products decreased.

Operating income in Water & Environment rose 112.7 %, to ¥2.7 billion, mainly due to an increase in revenues.

3) Other

Other comprises construction, services and other businesses.

Revenues in this segment rose 12.0 %, to ¥7.1 billion from the corresponding period in the prior year and accounted for 3.0 % of consolidated revenues. Although sales of construction decreased, sales of services and other businesses increased.

Operating income in Other decreased 44.9 %, to ¥0.2 billion.

* The Company realigned its organization on April 1, 2012. Upon this realignment, the segments previously had been classified into “Farm & Industrial Machinery”, “Water & Environment Systems”, “Social Infrastructure”, and “Other” were classified into “Farm & Industrial Machinery”, “Water & Environment”, and “Other”.

(2) Financial condition

1) Assets, liabilities, and equity

Total assets at the end of June 2012 amounted to ¥1,501.8 billion, an increase of ¥14.1 billion from the end of March 2012. Among assets, inventories as well as short- and long-term finance receivables increased.

Among liabilities, long-term debt rose, while current liabilities, including income taxes payable, decreased. Net assets increased due to recorded net income and improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The shareholders’ equity ratio was 44.3 %, 0.4 percentage points higher than at the prior fiscal year-end.

2) Cash flows

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months under review was ¥22.9 billion. This was primarily because cash inflow was down ¥23.9 billion from the corresponding period in the prior year, mainly due to changes in working capital, including an increase in inventories and a decrease in income taxes payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥1.8 billion. This was because cash outflow decreased ¥8.8 billion from the corresponding period in the prior year, despite an increase in purchases of fixed assets, due to a rise in collection of finance receivables and other factors.

Net cash used in financing activities was ¥1.7 billion. This was because cash inflow decreased ¥7.1 billion from the corresponding period in the prior year, mainly due to purchases of noncontrolling interests.

As a result, after taking account of the effects of foreign exchange rate changes, cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 2012 were ¥76.3 billion, a decrease of ¥24.3 billion from the beginning of the period.

(3) Prospects for the year ending March 31, 2013

The forecasts of the results of operations for the year ending March 31, 2013, which were announced on May 10, 2012, remain unchanged.

These forecasts are based on the assumption of exchange rates of ¥80=US$1 and ¥100=1 Euro.
