HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. REPORTS

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

FOR THE FISCAL FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2009

Tokyo, July 29, 2009 — Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2009.

First Quarter Results

Honda’s consolidated net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2009 totaled JPY 7.5 billion (USD 79 million), a decrease of 95.6% from the same period in 2008. Basic net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. per common share for the quarter amounted to JPY 4.17 (USD 0.04), a decrease of JPY 91.39 from JPY 95.56 for the corresponding period last year. One Honda American Depository Share represents one common share.

Consolidated net sales and other operating revenue (herein referred to as “revenue”) for the quarter amounted to JPY 2,002.2 billion (USD 20,854 million), a decrease of 30.2% from the same period in 2008, primarily due to decreased revenue in the automobile business and_ unfavorable currency translation effects. Honda estimates that if calculated at the same exchange rate as the corresponding period in 2008, revenue for the quarter would have decreased by approximately 20.7%.

Consolidated operating income for the quarter totaled JPY 25.1 billion (USD 262 million), a decrease of 88.0%, due primarily to decreased profit attributable to decreased revenue, the increase in fixed costs per unit as a result of reduced production and the unfavorable impact of currency effects caused by the appreciation of the Japanese yen, despite decreased SG&A expenses and R&D expenses and continuing cost reduction efforts.

Consolidated income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates for the quarter totaled JPY 5.4 billion (USD 57 million), a decrease of 97.6% from the same period in 2008.

Equity in income of affiliates amounted to JPY 14.2 billion (USD 148 million) for the quarter, a decrease of 62.7% from the corresponding period last year.

Outside of Japan, total unit sales was 2,207 thousand units, a decrease of 16.9% from the same period in 2008*, due mainly to a decrease in sales of motorcycle knocked-down parts for local production at Asian affiliates accounted for under the equity method and decreased unit sales in Other regions including South America, more than offsetting increased unit sales in India and Vietnam. Revenue from sales to external customers decreased 34.8%, to JPY 256.3 billion (USD 2,670 million) from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased unit sales and unfavorable currency translation effects. Operating income decreased 81.9% to JPY 5.6 billion (USD 59 million) from the same period last year, due primarily to decreased profit attributable to decreased revenue and the unfavorable impact of currency effects, more than offsetting decreased SG&A expenses and R&D expenses.

 

* Of the net sales of Honda-brand motorcycle products that are manufactured and sold by overseas affiliates accounted for under the equity method, those with respect to which parts for manufacturing were not supplied from Honda or its subsidiaries are not included in net sales and other operating revenue, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these unit sales are not included in the financial results. Sales of such products amounted to approximately 1,220 thousand units for the period.

Honda’s automobile unit sales totaled 766 thousand units, a decrease of 20.4% from the same period last year. In Japan, unit sales amounted to 128 thousand units, the same level compared to the same period last year due mainly to favorable sales of Insight and FREED despite weak demand in the market. Unit sales outside of Japan decreased 23.5% to 638 thousand units from the corresponding period last year, due mainly to decreased unit sales in North America. Revenue from sales to external customers decreased 31.6% to JPY 1,523.4billion (USD 15,867 million) from the same period in 2008, due mainly to decreased unit sales and the unfavorable currency translation effects. Honda reported operating loss of JPY 21.3 billion (USD 223 million), a decrease of JPY 171.7 billion from the same period last year, due primarily to decreased revenue, the increase in fixed costs as a result of reduced production and the unfavorable impact of currency effects, more than offsetting decreased SG&A expenses and R&D expenses and continuing cost reduction efforts.

Revenue from customers in the financial services business increased 6.9% to JPY 155.9 billion (USD 1,624 million) from the same period in 2008, due mainly to an increase in operating lease revenues. Operating income increased 62.8% to JPY 46.8 billion (USD 488 million) from the same period in 2008, due primarily to the decreased allowance for losses on lease residual values and a decrease of funding cost.

Honda’s power product unit sales totaled 1,158 thousand units, a decrease of 13.5% from the same period in 2008. In Japan, unit sales totaled 71 thousand units, a decrease of 55.3% from the same period last year. Unit sales outside of Japan totaled 1,087 thousand units, a decrease of 7.9% from the corresponding period last year, due primarily to a decline of unit sales in Europe. Revenue from sales to external customers in power product and other businesses decreased by 33.7% to JPY 66.5 billion (USD 693 million) from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased unit sales of power products and unfavorable currency translation effects.

This was primarily due to decreased revenue, which more than offset decreased SG&A expenses.

Others

1. Changes in significant subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (i.e. changes in specific subsidiaries that caused a change in the scope of consolidated financial statements)

None

2. Accounting policies specifically applied for quarterly consolidated financial statements

(a) Income taxes

Honda computes interim income tax expense (benefit) by multiplying reasonably estimated annual effective tax rate, which includes the effects of deferred taxes, by year-to-date income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2009. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, Honda utilizes the actual year-to-date effective tax rate.

3. Changes in accounting procedures for consolidated quarterly financial results

(a) Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, and requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary shall be accounted for as equity transactions. Honda adopted SFAS No. 160 effective April 1, 2009. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 160, noncontrolling interests, which were previously referred to as minority interests and classified between total liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets, are now included as a separate component of total equity. In addition, presentation of consolidated statements of income and cash flows has been changed. As the presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160 have been applied retrospectively, Honda has made reclassifications to the prior consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the 3 months period ended June 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(b) Adjustment resulting from change in fiscal year-end of a subsidiary

During fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, a subsidiary of the Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to March 31. As a result, the Company eliminated the previously existing 3-month difference between the reporting periods of the Company and the subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements. The elimination of the lag period which was adjusted in the three months ended March 31, 2009 represented a change in accounting principle and was reported by retrospective application. The impact on the retained earnings balance as of April 1, 2008 was ¥6,214 million. Honda adjusted its consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to conform to the presentation used for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
