Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the Fiscal Nine Months

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2012 decreased by JPY 88.6 billion from March 31, 2012, to JPY 1,158.5 billion. The factors of the increases or decreases for each cash flow activity, when compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, are as follows:

Cash flow from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to JPY 512.1 billion for the fiscal nine months ended December 31, 2012. Cash inflows from operating activities increased by JPY 4.2 billion compared with same period of the previous fiscal year due mainly to an increase in cash received from customers primarily led by increased unit sales in the automobile business, despite increased payments for parts and raw materials caused by an increase in automobile production.

Cash flow from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 781.8 billion. Cash outflows from investing activities increased by JPY 324.2 billion compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in capital expenditures, acquisitions of finance subsidiaries-receivables and an increase in purchases of operating lease assets.

Cash flow from financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to JPY 164.7 billion. Cash inflows from financing activities increased by JPY 259.7 billion compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in short-term debt, despite increase in cash outflow due to redemption of long-term debt.

Dividend per Share of Common Stock

The Board of Directors of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., at its meeting held on January 31, 2013, resolved to make the quarterly dividend JPY 19 per share of common stock, the record date of which is December 31, 2012. The total expected annual dividend per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, is JPY 76 per share.

This announcement contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based on management’s assumptions and beliefs taking into account information currently available to it. Therefore, please be advised that Honda’s actual results could differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including general economic conditions in Honda’s principal markets and foreign exchange rates between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other major currencies, as well as other factors detailed from time to time.

Other Information

1. 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 nine months ended December 31, 2012. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, Honda utilizes the actual year-to-date effective tax rate.

2. Changes in accounting policy

(a) Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220 “Comprehensive Income”. This amendment requires reporting entities to report other comprehensive income as components of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and is effective retrospectively.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”, which defers the effective date of pending amendments to current accounting guidance prescribed in ASU 2011-05.

Honda adopted ASU 2011-05 as amended by ASU 2011-12, effective April 1, 2012, and discloses consolidated statements of comprehensive income as two separate but consecutive statements.

(b) Change in depreciation method

Previously, Honda used principally the declining-balance method for calculating the depreciation of property, plant and equipment. In recent years, because sales of global strategic product models are increasing, Honda has been enhancing its production systems and the versatility of production equipment to have better flexibility to meet changes in global customer demand. Further, Honda has resumed more normalized capital expenditures which Honda had previously held down due to financial crisis beginning in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Effective April 1, 2012, Honda changed to the straight line method of depreciation because management believes it better reflects the future economic benefit from the usage of property, plant and equipment under this more flexible and versatile production arrangement. The effect of the change in depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”.

As a result of the change in depreciation method, depreciation expense for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately JPY 14,425 million and JPY 37,142 million, respectively. Net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Basic net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. per common share for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2012 increased by approximately JPY 9,151 million and JPY 5.08, JPY 23,641 million and JPY 13.12, respectively.

Explanatory notes:

 

1. Intersegment sales and revenues are generally made at values that approximate arm’s-length prices.

 

2. Unallocated corporate assets, included in reconciling items, amounted to JPY 371,004 million as of December 31, 2011 and JPY 250,392 million as of December 31, 2012 respectively, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities held by the Company. Reconciling items also include elimination of intersegment transactions.

 

3. Depreciation and amortization of Financial Services Business include JPY 154,054 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and JPY 182,193 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, of depreciation of property on operating leases.

Effective April 1, 2012, Honda changed to the straight line method of depreciation. As a result of the change in depreciation method, depreciation expense for three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately JPY 1,772 million in Motorcycle Business, JPY 12,418 million in Automobile Business, JPY 16 million in Financial Services Business and JPY 219 million in Power Product & Other Businesses, respectively.

It resulted in an increase of segment income. For further information, refer to “Other Information, 2. Changes in accounting policy, (b) Change in depreciation method”.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and for the nine months and three months ended December 31, 2012, impact of the floods in Thailand is mainly included in Segment income (loss) of Automobile business.
