1. Review of operations and financial condition

(1) Review of operations

a)	Summary of the results of operations for the year under review

For the year ended March 31, 2013, revenues of Kubota Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Company”) increased ¥159.6 billion [15.8%], to ¥1,167.6 billion from the prior year.

In the domestic market, revenues increased ¥42.3 billion [8.5%], to ¥541.0 billion from the prior year. Domestic revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery increased due to steady sales of farm equipment and robust growth in sales of construction machinery and engines. Revenues in Water & Environment also increased owing to sales growth of products related to public works. In addition, revenues in Other increased slightly.

In the overseas market, revenues increased ¥117.3 billion [23.0%], to ¥626.6 billion from the prior year. Overseas revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery significantly expanded in North America, Europe and Asia outside Japan, and revenues in Water & Environment and Other rose. The ratio of overseas revenues to consolidated revenues was 53.7 %, 3.2 percentage points higher than at the prior year-end.

Operating income increased ¥7.5 billion [7.1%] from the prior year, to ¥113.2 billion. The increase in revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery and Water & Environment and the declines in material costs exceeded the impact of increases in other costs, such as higher pension cost.

Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies was ¥120.5 billion, ¥19.5 billion [19.3%] higher than in the prior year, because of gains in operating income and considerable improvement in other income, including the foreign exchange gain (loss)-net account. Income taxes were ¥40.7 billion, and equity in net income of affiliated companies was ¥1.4 billion. Accordingly, net income increased ¥15.1 billion [22.9%], to ¥81.1 billion. After deducting ¥7.5 billion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Kubota Corporation was ¥73.7 billion, ¥12.1 billion [19.7%] higher than in the prior year.

b)	Review of operations by reporting segment

1)	Farm & Industrial Machinery

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

Revenues in this segment increased 19.2% from the prior year, to ¥851.0 billion, and accounted for 72.9% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 12.3%, to ¥264.3 billion. Domestic sales of farm equipment increased, because sales in the Tohoku area rose owing to the rebound from stagnation in the prior year, and sales in other areas also increased steadily due to higher rice prices and the government subsidies for farmers. Sales of construction machinery and engines substantially increased due to the demand for reconstruction work following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Overseas revenues increased 22.6%, to ¥586.7 billion. In North America, sales of tractors increased substantially due to growth in demand owing to the market recovery. Sales of construction machinery increased significantly owing to the growth in replacement demand from rental companies, and sales of engines also expanded steadily. Revenues in Europe increased sharply due to the effect of the tractor implement business acquisition in the prior fiscal year and higher sales of engines, while sales of tractors and construction machinery decreased owing to the economic downturn and the negative impact of the yen appreciation. In Asia outside Japan, sales of farm equipment rose significantly, mainly in Thailand and China.

Operating income in this segment increased 10.4%, to ¥108.0 billion, due to increased revenues in Japan and overseas.

2)	Water & Environment

Water & Environment comprises pipe-related products (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, valves, pumps, and other products), environment-related products (environmental control 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 7.1%, to ¥282.1 billion from the prior year, and accounted for 24.1% of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues increased 5.6%, to ¥245.6 billion. Revenues in environment-related products rose significantly owing to higher sales of water and sewage treatment equipment and plants. In addition, revenues in pipe-related products and social infrastructure-related products also increased. Overseas revenues rose 19.2%, to ¥36.5 billion owing to increased sales in ductile iron pipes and valves.

Operating income in this segment increased 34.6%, to ¥23.5 billion, supported by steady revenues.

Other

Other comprises construction, services, and other business.

Revenues in this segment increased 12.4%, to ¥34.6 billion from the prior year, and accounted for 3.0% of consolidated revenues. Revenues generated from construction and other business also increased.

Operating income in this segment was ¥2.5 billion, almost the same level as in the prior year.

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

c)	Prospects for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014

The Company forecasts consolidated revenues for the year ending March 31, 2014 at ¥1,400.0 billion, ¥232.4 billion higher than during the year under review. Domestic revenues are forecast to increase due to increases in revenues in all reporting segments. Overseas revenues are forecast to increase sharply due to higher revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery. Among revenues in this segment, revenues in North America, Europe and Asia outside Japan expected to increase substantially owing to the impact of the yen depreciation.

The Company forecasts operating income of ¥160.0 billion, an increase of ¥46.8 billion from the year under review, due to the effect of higher revenues and the substantial positive change of yen exchange. The Company expects Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies for the next fiscal year to be ¥165.0 billion, an increase of ¥44.5 billion from the year under review. Net income attributable to Kubota Corporation is forecast to be ¥100.0 billion, an increase of ¥26.3 billion from the year under review. (These forecasts are based on the assumption of exchange rates of ¥95=US$1 and ¥125=1 Euro.)

(2) Financial condition

a)	Assets, liabilities and equity

Total assets at the end of March 2013 amounted to ¥1,743.7 billion, an increase of ¥256.0 billion from the prior fiscal year-end. As for assets, notes and accounts receivable, inventories, and short- and long-term finance receivables increased due to higher revenues and the yen depreciation from the prior year-end.

Among liabilities, trade accounts payable increased. Additionally, short-term borrowings and long-term debt increased related to the increase in finance receivables.

Equity increased because of the accumulation of retained earnings and a significant improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The shareholders’ equity ratio was 43.5%, 0.4 percentage points lower than at the prior fiscal year-end.

and Subsidiaries

b)	Cash flows

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year under review was ¥51.0 billion, a decrease of ¥28.9 billion in cash inflow compared with the prior year. This decrease in cash inflow was mainly due to the changes in working capital, such as notes and accounts receivable and trade notes and accounts payable, and a decrease in income taxes payable, while net income increased.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥69.2 billion, a decrease of ¥0.7 billion in cash outflow compared with the prior year. The decrease in cash outflow, such as the decrease in expenditures for the acquisition of businesses and the shrinkage of the incremental amount in finance receivables, exceeded the increase in cash outflow due to the decrease of proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment and purchases of fixed assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was ¥21.7 billion, an increase of ¥34.9 billion in cash inflow compared with the prior year. This increase was mainly due to an increase in cash inflow from fund procurement and a decrease in cash outflow for the purchase of treasury stock. Meanwhile, cash outflow due to purchases of noncontrolling interests increased.

As a result, after taking account of the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents at the end of March 31, 2013 were ¥110.5 billion, an increase of ¥10.0 billion from the prior fiscal year-end.

2. Management policies

(1) Basic management policy

For more than a century since its founding, the Company has continued to contribute to society through helping to improve people’s quality of life, by offering products and services—including farm equipment, pipes for water supply and sewage systems and environmental control plants.

And the Company is developing its business globally under the corporate mission “Continue to support the future of the earth and humanity by contributing products that help the affluent and stable production of food, help supply and restore reliable water, and help create a comfortable living environment through its superior products, technologies and services” with the aim of solving the worldwide problems of food, water and the environment, which are indispensable for human beings.

In the years to come, the Company will strive to attain an even higher enterprise value, through improvement of its capabilities for responding with flexibility to changes in society by emphasizing agility in its operations, strengthening its global operational presence, and relentlessly working to transform itself.

(2) Principal business policies for medium-to-long-term growth in profit

The Company is implementing initiatives to globalize its management with the objective of expanding its overseas business activities, which are the driving force for its growth. At the same time, the Company is moving forward with structural transformations in its domestic business operations. Through these initiatives in Japan and overseas, the Company is endeavoring to continue to develop sustainably for the long term. To realize this objective as soon as possible, the Company is implementing the following priority policies.

1)	Attain Major Growth

The Company’s principal business domains are food, water, and the environment, all of which are expected to show substantial growth in the years to come. The Company’s highest priority at this time is to attain major expansion in its business scale. The Company will not only formulate and implement growth strategies for each of its businesses but will also specify companywide core growth themes, or growth driver businesses, and implement initiatives mainly through a task force formed in the corporate headquarters.

In Farm & Industrial Machinery, the Company will accelerate its activities to enter the business of large-scale agricultural machinery for dry-field farming to consolidate its position as a comprehensive manufacturer of agricultural machinery. Last year, the Company took a first step toward this objective through the acquisition of a tractor implement business. Looking ahead, the Company will step up the pace of its comprehensive business strategies for products, technologies, sales, services, and geographic regions.

In Water & Environment, the Company will strengthen its drive to “develop its water and environment business in Asia outside Japan.” In addition to those regions where the Company has a presence, with the network of offices of the engineering business the Company acquired last year as a base, the Company will identify those businesses where it can exercise its comprehensive capabilities and increase the speed of business development.

2)	Globalize Management

For the Company to continue to develop, sustainable growth in overseas markets will be indispensable. To realize this growth, the Company aims to conduct a drastic review of its business operations and systems and create management systems that are compatible with the expansion of overseas business activities.

In its products, the Company will create marketing and product development systems for each region, expand its production outside Japan, and create systems capable of developing and launching product lineups that meet the needs of various regions.

In its sales activities, the Company will strengthen its sales network with the aim of ensuring expansion in the growing Asian region. In addition, in those areas where the Company does not yet have a presence, it will begin to structure sales channels with a time horizon of 5 to 10 years.

In procurement, along with the network of suppliers that the Company has already developed in Thailand, the Company will expand the procurement functions of its other production centers and create a global procurement system.

In its business management, the Company will proceed with the delegation of authority to make rapid decision making, appropriate for various local conditions, possible, while also moving as quickly as possible toward the appointment of local human resources to positions of management responsibility.

On the other hand, as its business activities spread all over the world, the Company will work to improve its organizational frameworks, operating systems, and other corporate infrastructure to strengthen corporate governance within the Group. In addition, the Company will make active use of IT to improve the unified grasp and supervision of management resource information. Last year, the Company established its “Kubota Global Identity” and clarified Group values as expressed in the mission and management philosophy that will be shared universally by all employees. Going forward, the Company will work to ensure that these values are understood and shared by all employees, and then all move together to expand the business activities of the Group.

3)	Develop New Businesses in Japan

The operating environment in Japan continues to be challenging. The Company is moving ahead with structural changes in its business portfolio and is aiming for the development of new businesses. In the agricultural-related products businesses, rather than focusing just on selling machinery, the Company will work toward the development of business activities that make comprehensive contributions to agriculture, including proposing various services that increase efficiency and the adoption of new farm management methods. In addition, in Water & Environment, in its activities related to the public sector, the Company is not only working to expand existing business in selling machinery and materials and providing construction services, but is also working to create new business opportunities by strengthening its capabilities for the maintenance and management of public facilities, which is increasingly being subcontracted to the private sector.

4)	Strengthen Technology Development to Attain Sustainable Growth

To sustain its growth for the long term, the Company is striving to strengthen its capabilities for developing future-oriented technology. The Company is pursuing technological development that will be the core for sustaining growth in the medium-to-long term mainly in its headquarters technology units, including its Research & Development Headquarters and Quality Assurance & Manufacturing Headquarters. In addition, the Company is endeavoring to strengthen the technologies of its business departments through differentiation and is readying operating systems and organizational frameworks that cross over the existing organizational lines and make usage possible in products and production.
