1. Qualitative Information related to Consolidated Financial Statements

Commencing from the beginning of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”), Kyocera has adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in lieu of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In addition, financial figures appearing herein for the three months ended June 30, 2017 (“the previous first quarter”) and the year ended March 31, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”) have been reclassified in accordance with IFRS for the purpose of comparative analysis.

(1) Explanation of Financial Results

a. Consolidated Results of Operations

Sales in the three months ended June 30, 2018 (“the first quarter”) increased due to solid demand in the Electronic Devices Group and the Industrial & Automotive Components Group coupled with contributions from merger and acquisition activities conducted in fiscal 2018. Sales in the Document Solutions Group also increased on the back of aggressive sales promotion activities. As a result, sales revenue for the first quarter increased by 42,322 million yen, or 12.3%, to 387,484 million yen, compared with the previous first quarter, marking a record high for first quarter sales.

Profits increased compared with the previous first quarter reflecting the sales growth and efforts to reduce costs. Operating profit increased by 5,844 million yen, or 18.7%, to 37,104 million yen, profit before income taxes increased by 6,135 million yen, or 12.4%, to 55,488 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of the parent increased by 7,258 million yen, or 20.7%, to 42,284 million yen, compared with the previous first quarter.

Average exchange rates for the first quarter were 109 yen to the U.S. dollar, marking appreciation of 2 yen (1.8%), and 130 yen to the Euro, marking depreciation of 8 yen (6.6%), compared with the previous first quarter. As a result, sales revenue and profit before income taxes after translation into yen for the first quarter were pushed up by approximately 2 billion yen, respectively, compared with the previous first quarter.

b. Consolidated Results by Reporting Segment

1) Industrial & Automotive Components Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous first quarter due to a significant increase in sales of industrial tools resulting from growing demand and merger and acquisition activities. Sales of fine ceramic parts used in semiconductor processing equipment also increased on the back of a buoyant market. Business profit increased markedly due to the growth in sales and cost reductions.

2) Semiconductor Components Group

Sales in this reporting segment were roughly on par with the previous first quarter. Despite an increase in sales of organic packages mainly for automobile applications, demand for ceramic packages for optical communications was down relative to the previous first quarter, which registered a high level of sales, due mainly to the impact of inventory adjustments. Business profit decreased due to lower sales of ceramic packages.

3) Electronic Devices Group

Sales of ceramic capacitors for smartphones increased. Demand for printing devices for industrial equipment was also strong. Merger and acquisition activities at AVX Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary, also made a contribution. As a result, sales and business profit in this reporting segment increased significantly compared with the previous first quarter.

4) Communications Group

Sales decreased compared with the previous first quarter and a business loss was recorded in this reporting segment due to a decline in sales in the telecommunications equipment business, despite increases in sales and profit in the information and communications services business, which provides engineering services, etc.

5) Document Solutions Group

Sales and business profit increased in this reporting segment compared with the previous first quarter due to an increase in sales volume resulting from aggressive sales promotion activities, contributions from merger and acquisition activities and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

6) Life & Environment Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous first quarter due to a decline in sales in the solar energy business. A business loss was recorded due primarily to this decrease in sales and an increase in R&D expenses.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Consolidated Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 increased by 8,109 million yen to 433,047 million yen from 424,938 million yen at March 31, 2018.

1) Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter increased by 10,575 million yen to 70,347 million yen from 59,772 million yen for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to an increase in profit for the period.

2) Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter decreased by 35,053 million yen to 6,262 million yen from 41,315 million yen for the previous first quarter. This reflected that the withdrawal of time deposit exceeded the acquisition for the first quarter although the acquisition exceeded the withdrawal for the previous first quarter.

3) Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter increased by 38,978 million yen to 61,490 million yen from 22,512 million yen for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to the purchase of treasury stock.

(3) Explanation Regarding Future Forecasts of Consolidated Financial Results

Results in the first quarter as a whole were in line with initial projections. From the three months ending September 30, 2018 (“the second quarter”) onward, Kyocera forecasts increased sales due to an expected increase in demand for components used in the automotive-related market and the industrial machinery market, and to further sales promotion activities in the Document Solutions Group. In light of this market outlook, Kyocera has not made any changes to its sales revenue and profit forecasts for fiscal 2019 announced on April 26, 2018.

(4) Notes to Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements

a. Notes to Going Concern Assumption

Not Applicable

b. Changes in Accounting Policies

Kyocera has adopted IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” (issued in May 2014 and amended in April 2016, hereinafter, “IFRS 15”) retrospectively from the year ended March 31, 2018. The effect to our consolidated results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows by adopting IFRS 15 is described in “d. First-time adoption” under “(4) Notes to Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Kyocera has adopted IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (issued in November 2009 and amended in July 2014, hereinafter, “IFRS 9”) from the year ending March 31, 2019. We have adopted exemptions from retrospective application of IFRS 9 in accordance with IFRS 1 “First-Time Adoption of International Financing Reporting Standards” (hereinafter, “IFRS 1”), and we have adopted U.S. GAAP, the previous accounting standards, at the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018.

The amounts of financial instruments whose classifications were changed at the beginning of this fiscal year are as follows:


Classification based on U.S. GAAP
	(Yen in millions)
Other long-term investments		19,536


Classification based on IFRS 9
	(Yen in millions)
Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income		22,747

As a result of adopting IFRS 9, retained earnings increased by 2,973 million yen, and other components of equity decreased by 729 million yen at the beginning of this fiscal year.

c. Changes in Accounting Estimates

Kyocera changed the depreciation method from the declining-balance method to the straight-line method from the year ending March 31, 2019.

Kyocera implemented capital expenditures in order to double its productivity at manufacturing facilities in Japan and overseas with the introduction of innovative technology to promote streamlining and automation of production processes. As a result, the operation of the property, plant and equipment is expected to be more consistently than before and future utilization of those assets will be consistent.

Accordingly, Kyocera believes that the change to the straight-line method will be preferable as it better reflects the consumption of future economic benefits of those assets.

In accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,” a change in depreciation method is treated as a change in accounting estimate. Therefore, the effect of the change in depreciation method has been reflected on a prospective basis from April 1, 2018 and it was to increase profit before income taxes by 2,999 million yen due mainly to the decrease in depreciation expenses.

d. First-Time Adoption

Kyocera disclosed the condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements under IFRS from the three months ended June 30, 2018. The latest consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP were prepared for the year ended March 31, 2018, and the date of transition to IFRS was April 1, 2017.

(a) First-time adoption based on IFRS 1

IFRS 1 requires that a company adopting IFRS for the first-time (hereinafter, the “first-time adopters”) shall apply IFRS retrospectively. However, IFRS 1 provides certain exemptions that allow first-time adopters to choose not to apply certain standards retrospectively. We have adopted the following exemptions:

Business combinations

A first-time adopter may choose not to apply IFRS 3 “Business combinations” (hereinafter, “IFRS 3”) retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. We have applied this exemption and chosen not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. Therefore, the carrying amounts of goodwill prior to the date of transition to IFRS were based on U.S. GAAP. We performed an impairment test on goodwill at the date of transition to IFRS regardless of whether there was any indications that the goodwill may be impaired.

Exchange differences on translating foreign operations

A first-time adopter may choose to deem the cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS. We have chosen to apply this exemption and deemed all cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS.

Deemed cost

For property, plant and equipment, a first-time adopter may use fair value as deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. We have applied this exemption and used fair value as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS for certain items of property, plant and equipment.

Exemptions from retrospective application of IFRS 9

When a first-time adopter choose to adopt IFRS for the annual periods beginning before January 1, 2019 and apply IFRS 9, it may apply the previous accounting standards without restating comparative information in the first IFRS consolidated financial statements. We have applied this exemption, and recognized and measured target items included in the scope of IFRS 9 under U. S. GAAP, the previous accounting standards, at the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018.

(b) Reconciliation

The reconciliations required to be disclosed in the first IFRS financial statements are described in the reconciliations as below. “Effect of change in line items” includes items that do not affect retained earnings and comprehensive income, while “Recognition and measurement differences” includes items that affect retained earnings and comprehensive income.

(i) Reconciliation of equity at the date of transition to IFRS (April 1, 2017)

Notes to reconciliation of equity, profit or loss and other comprehensive income

A. Exchange differences on translating of foreign operations

Under IFRS 1, a first-time adopter may choose to deem the cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS. We have chosen to apply this exemption and transferred all cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations into retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS.

B. Deemed cost

Under IFRS 1, for property, plant and equipment, a first-time adopter may use fair value as deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. We have applied this exemption and used fair value as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS for certain item of property, plant and equipment.

C. Retirement benefit

Under U.S. GAAP, the prior service costs and the actuarial gain and loss, resulted from defined benefit plan or unfunded retirement and severance plans which were incurred during the period but not recognized as the same periodic pension costs are recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income by the amount after tax. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently recognized in profit or loss as a component of retirement benefit expenses over a period of time in the future.

Under IFRS, the prior service costs are expensed as incurred. The actuarial gain and loss are recognized in other comprehensive income by the amount after tax and they are transferred from other components of equity to retained earnings directly without recording through profit or loss.

D. Income taxes

Under U.S. GAAP, all subsequent changes of deferred tax asset and liability due to a change in the tax rate, reassessment of recoverability are recognized in profit or loss. Under IFRS, changes of deferred tax assets and liabilities on other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.

In addition, under U.S. GAAP, the temporary differences arising from the elimination of intercompany transaction are deferred as prepaid taxes using the sellers’ tax expenses. Under IFRS, above temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax assets using the purchasers’ tax rates considering its recoverability.

E. Levies

Under U.S. GAAP, items qualified as levies such as property tax were recognized at the time of payment. Under IFRS, they were recognized on the date when an obligation to pay arises.

F. Reclassification on the consolidated statement of financial position

Under the presentation requirement on IFRS15, refund liabilities included in “Less allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns” was reclassified into “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated statement of financial position. Under the presentation requirement on IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements” (hereinafter, “IAS 1”), “Investments accounted for using the equity method”, “Deferred tax assets” and “Provisions” were presented separately.

G. Reclassifications on the consolidated statement of profit or loss

Under the presentation requirement on IAS1, “Share of net profit of investments accounted for using the equity method” was presented separately on the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Effects of items of these differences in recognition and measurement on retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS, as of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2018 are as follows:
