Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1) General and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S.GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year. For further information, refer to the March 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2012. Consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, while consolidated financial statements for the nine months and the three months ended December 31, 2012 are unaudited.

 

(b) Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company and its Japanese subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with financial accounting standards of Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries generally maintain their books of account in conformity with those of the countries of their domicile.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in a manner and reflect the adjustments which are necessary to conform them with U.S. GAAP.

 

(c) Changes in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results

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 nine months and the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately ¥37,142 million and ¥14,425 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 nine months and the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased by approximately ¥23,641 million and ¥13.12, ¥9,151 million and ¥5.08, respectively.

(d) 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.

 

(e) Accounting Policies Specifically Applied for Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements

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

 

(f) Revisions of the Prior Year’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow

Revisions have been made to adjust overstatements in both acquisitions of finance subsidiaries-receivables and collections of finance subsidiaries-receivables in the consolidated statements of cash flows, that amounted to ¥185,739 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

The revisions have no impact on net cash used in investing activities.

 

(g) Impairment Loss on Investments in Affiliates

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, Honda recognized impairment loss of ¥7,273 million, net of tax, on certain investments in affiliates which have quoted market values because of other-than-temporary decline in fair value below their carrying values. The fair values of the investments were based on quoted market price. The impairment loss is included in equity in income of affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Honda did not recognize any significant impairment losses.

(h) Impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Position or Results of Operations of the Floods in Thailand

In October 2011, Thailand suffered from severe floods that caused damage to inventories, and machinery and equipment of certain consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Accordingly, production activities in plant facilities at Honda and its affiliates had been temporarily affected by the floods for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Honda recognized ¥17,348 million of costs and expenses, of which ¥9,387 million is included in cost of sales and ¥7,961 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2011. These costs and expenses mainly consist of losses on damaged inventories of ¥7,330 million which is included in cost of sales, and losses on damaged property, plant and equipment of ¥7,654 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, Honda recognized insurance recoveries of ¥11,838 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

For the nine months and three months ended December 31, 2012, Honda recognized insurance recoveries of ¥6,777 million and ¥506 million, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Honda recognizes insurance recoveries in excess of the incurred losses when settlements with insurance companies are reached.

(3) Credit Quality of Finance Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

The finance subsidiaries of the Company provide retail lending and leasing to customers and wholesale financing to dealers primarily to support sales of our products. Honda classifies retail and direct financing lease receivables derived from those services as finance subsidiaries-receivables. Operating leases are classified as property on operating leases. Certain finance receivables related to sales of inventory are included in trade accounts and notes receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Receivables on past due operating lease rental payments are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Finance subsidiaries-receivables, net, consisted of the following at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012:

Allowance for credit losses

The majority of the credit risk is with consumer financing and to a lesser extent with dealer financing. Credit risk is affected by general economic conditions such as a rise in unemployment rates or declines in used vehicle prices. The finance subsidiaries of the Company estimate losses incurred on retail and direct financing lease receivables and recognize them in the allowance for credit losses. Consumer finance receivables consist of a large number of smaller-balance homogenous loans and leases. The finance subsidiaries of the Company segment these receivables into groups with common characteristics, and estimate collectively the allowance for credit losses on consumer finance receivables by the group. The finance subsidiaries of the Company take into consideration various methodologies when estimating the allowance including vintage loss rate analysis and delinquency roll rate analysis. When performing the vintage loss rate analysis, consumer finance receivables are segregated between retail and direct financing lease, and further segmented into groups with common risk characteristics including collateral type, credit grades and original terms. Loss rates are projected for these pools based on historical rates and adjusted for considerations of emerging trends and changing economic conditions. The roll rate analysis is used primarily by the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America. This analysis tracks the migration of finance receivables through various stages of delinquency and ultimately to charge-offs. Roll rates are projected based on historical results while also taking into consideration trends and changing economic conditions.

Wholesale receivables are considered to be impaired when it is probable that they will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the contract. The finance subsidiaries of the Company recognize estimated losses on them in the allowance for credit losses. Credit risk on wholesale receivables is affected primarily by the financial strength of the dealers within the portfolio. Wholesale receivables are evaluated for impairment on an individual dealer basis. Ongoing evaluations of dealerships are performed to determine whether there is evidence of impairment. Factors can include payment performance, overall dealership financial performance, or known difficulties experienced by the dealership.

Honda regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The estimates are based on information available as of each reporting date. However actual losses may differ from the original estimates as a result of actual results varying from those assumed in our estimates with inherently uncertain items.

In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America, retail and direct financing lease receivables are charged off when they become 120 days past due or earlier if they have been specifically identified as uncollectible. Wholesale receivables are charged off when they have been individually identified as uncollectible. In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in other areas except for North America, finance receivables are charged off when they have been identified as substantially uncollectible according to the internal standards of each subsidiary.

Delinquencies

In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in North America, retail and direct financing lease receivables are considered delinquent if more than 10% of a monthly scheduled payment is contractually past due on a cumulative basis. Wholesale receivables are considered delinquent when any principal payments are past due. In the finance subsidiaries of the Company in other areas except for North America, finance receivables are considered delinquent when any principal payments are past due.

Credit quality indicators

The collection experience of consumer finance receivables provides an indication of the credit quality of consumer finance receivables. The likelihood of accounts charging off becomes significantly higher once an account becomes 60 days delinquent. The tables below segment the Company’s portfolio of consumer finance receivables between groups the Company considers to be performing and nonperforming. Accounts that are delinquent for 60 days or greater are included in the nonperforming group and all other accounts are considered to be performing.

A credit quality indicator for wholesale receivables is the internal risk ratings for the dealerships. Dealerships are assigned an internal risk rating based primarily on their financial condition. At a minimum, risk ratings for dealerships are updated annually and more frequently for dealerships with weaker risk ratings. The tables below present outstanding wholesale receivables balances by the internal risk rating group. Group A includes the loans of dealerships with the highest credit quality characteristics in the strongest risk rating tier. Group B includes the loans of all remaining dealers and are considered to have weaker credit quality characteristics. Although the likelihood of losses can be higher for dealerships in Group B, the overall risk of losses is not considered to be significant.

(6) Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, Honda uses a three-level hierarchy when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:

 

Level 1    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date
Level 2    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3    Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The valuation methodologies the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Foreign exchange and interest rate instruments (see note 7)

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are estimated by using market observable inputs such as spot exchange rates, discount rates and implied volatility. Fair value measurements for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are classified as Level 2. The fair values of currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are estimated by discounting future cash flows using market observable inputs such as LIBOR rates, swap rates, and foreign exchange rates. Fair value measurements for these currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are classified as Level 2.

The credit risk of Honda and its counterparties are considered on the valuation of foreign exchange and interest rate instruments.

Marketable equity securities

The fair value of marketable equity securities is estimated by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for marketable equity securities is classified as Level 1.

Auction rate securities

The subsidiary’s auction rate securities holdings were AAA rated and are insured by qualified guarantee agencies, and reinsured by the Secretary of Education and United States Government, and are guaranteed about 95% by the United States Government. To estimate fair value of auction rate securities, Honda uses third-party developed valuation model which obtains a wide array of market observable inputs, as well as unobservable inputs including probability of passing or failing auction at each auction. Fair value measurement for auction rate securities is classified as Level 3.

Honda did not have significant assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of and for the year ended March 31, 2012. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, Honda measured certain investments in affiliates which have quoted market values at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of impairment loss (see note 1(g)). The fair value of the investments was ¥28,900 million and estimated by using quoted market price. Fair value measurement for the investment is classified as Level 1. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, Honda does not have significant assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Honda has not elected the fair value option for the year ended March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

The carrying amounts of finance subsidiaries-receivables at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 in the table also include ¥518,321 million and ¥589,226 million of finance receivables classified as trade accounts and notes receivable and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

*2 

The carrying amounts and the estimated fair value related to held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2012 have been revised from the amounts previously disclosed.

The estimated fair values have been determined using relevant market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, these estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The effect of using different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be significant to the estimated fair values.

The methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables

The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Finance subsidiaries-receivables

The fair values of retail receivables and commercial loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates for these instruments of similar remaining maturities. Given the short maturities of wholesale flooring receivables, the carrying amount of those receivables approximates fair value. Fair value measurements for retail receivables and commercial loans are mainly classified as Level 3.

Held-to-maturity securities

The fair value of Government bonds is estimated by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement of those Government bonds is classified as Level 1. The fair value of U.S. government agency debt securities is estimated based on proprietary pricing models provided by specialists and/or market makers and the models obtain a wide array of market observable inputs such as credit ratings and discount rates. Fair value measurement for those securities is classified as Level 2.

Debt

The fair values of bonds are estimated by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement of those bonds is mainly classified as Level 1. The fair values of short-term loans and long-term loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently available for loans of similar terms and remaining maturities. Fair value measurements for those loans are mainly classified as Level 2.

(7) Risk Management Activities and Derivative Financial Instruments

Honda uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates (see note 6). Currency swap agreements are used to manage currency risk exposure on foreign currency denominated debt. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts and purchased option contracts are used to hedge currency risk of sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies (principally U.S. dollars). Foreign currency written option contracts are entered into in combination with purchased option contracts to offset premium amounts to be paid for purchased option contracts. Interest rate swap agreements are mainly used to manage interest rate risk exposure and to convert floating rate financing, such as commercial paper, to (normally three-five years) fixed rate financing in order to match financing costs with income from finance receivables. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, exchange rate and interest rate risks in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The aforementioned instruments contain an element of risk in the event the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. However, Honda minimizes the risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to major international banks and financial institutions meeting established credit guidelines. Management of Honda does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, does not expect to incur any losses due to counterparty default. Honda currently does not require or place collateral for these financial instruments with any counterparties.

Contract amounts outstanding for foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements and the notional principal amounts of interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Cash flow hedge

The Company applies hedge accounting for certain foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to forecasted foreign currency transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period when forecasted hedged transactions affect earnings. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 were ¥185 million loss and ¥678 million loss, respectively. All amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2012 are expected to be recognized in earnings within the next twelve months.

The period that hedges the changes in cash flows related to the risk of foreign currency rate is at most around two months. There are no derivative financial instruments where hedge accounting has been discontinued due to the forecasted transaction no longer being probable. The Company excludes financial instruments’ time value component from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There is no portion of hedging instruments that has been assessed as hedge ineffectiveness.

Derivative financial instruments not designated as accounting hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated as accounting hedges are recognized in earnings in the period of the change.

The estimated fair values of derivative instruments at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

(8) Contingent Liabilities

Honda has entered into various guarantee and indemnification agreements. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, Honda has guaranteed ¥28,165 million and ¥26,438 million of bank loans of employees for their housing costs, respectively. If an employee defaults on his/her loan payments, Honda is required to perform under the guarantee. The undiscounted maximum amount of Honda’s obligation to make future payments in the event of defaults at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 are ¥28,165 million and ¥26,438 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, no amount has been accrued for any estimated losses under the obligations, as it is probable that the employees will be able to make all scheduled payments.

Honda warrants its products for specific periods of time. Product warranties vary depending upon the nature of the product, the geographic location of its sale and other factors.

The changes in provisions for those product warranties for the year ended March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012 are as follows:

With respect to product liability, personal injury claims or lawsuits, Honda believes that any judgment that may be recovered by any plaintiff for general and special damages and court costs will be adequately covered by Honda’s insurance and accrued liabilities. Punitive damages are claimed in certain of these lawsuits. Honda is also subject to potential liability under other various lawsuits and claims. Honda recognizes an accrued liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Honda reviews these pending lawsuits and claims periodically and adjusts the amounts recorded for these contingent liabilities, if necessary, by considering the nature of lawsuits and claims, the progress of the case and the opinions of legal counsel. After consultation with legal counsel, and taking into account all known factors pertaining to existing lawsuits and claims, Honda believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and pending claims should not result in liability to Honda that would be likely to have an adverse material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Explanatory notes:

 

1. Segment income (loss) of each segment is measured in a consistent manner with consolidated operating income, which is income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates before other income (expenses). Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable.

 

2. Assets of each segment are defined as total assets, including derivative financial instruments, investments in affiliates, and deferred tax assets. Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment and those not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable except for the corporate assets described below.

 

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

 

4. Unallocated corporate assets, included in reconciling items, amounted to ¥371,004 million as of December 31, 2011 and ¥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.

 

5. Depreciation and amortization of Financial services business include ¥154,054 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and ¥182,193 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, of depreciation of property on operating leases.

 

6. Capital expenditure of Financial services business includes ¥498,380 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and ¥573,890 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, of purchase of operating lease assets.

 

7. Previously, Honda used principally the declining-balance method for calculating the depreciation of property, plant and equipment. 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 the nine months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately ¥4,623 million in Motorcycle business, ¥31,795 million in Automobile business, ¥52 million in Financial services business and ¥672 million in Power product and other businesses, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by approximately ¥1,772 million in Motorcycle business, ¥12,418 million in Automobile business, ¥16 million in Financial services business and ¥219 million in Power product and other businesses, respectively. It resulted in an increase of segment income, see note 1(c).

 

8. 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, see note 1(h).
