Second Quarter Results

Honda’s consolidated sales revenue for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2018 amounted to JPY 3,841.7 billion, an increase of 1.7% from the same period last year, due primarily to increased sales revenue at motorcycle and financial services business operations.

Consolidated operating profit for the quarter amounted to JPY 214.4 billion, an increase of 40.2% from the same period last year, due primarily to positive impact from sales volume and model mix and the reverse effect from the loss related to the settlement of multidistrict class action litigation in the previous fiscal year.

One Honda American Depository Share represents one common share.

First Half Year Results

Consolidated sales revenue for the fiscal first half year ended September 30, 2018 amounted to JPY 7,865.8 billion, an increase of 5.0% from the same period last year, due primarily to increased sales revenue in all business operations.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 376.8 billion. Cash outflows from investing activities increased by JPY 68.2 billion compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in Payments for acquisitions of other financial assets.

[6] Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

[A] Changes in accounting policies

(a) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Honda was an early adopter of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” issued in November 2009, amended in October 2010 and November 2013 (“IFRS 9 (2013)”) prior to the year ended March 31, 2018 and has adopted IFRS 9 issued in July 2014 (“IFRS 9 (2014)”) with a date of initial application of April1, 2018. The adoption of IFRS 9 (2014) resulted in changes in accounting policies primarily for classification and impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2014) has an exemption allowing comparative information for prior periods not to be restated with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) changes. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IFRS 9 (2013). Instead, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 9 (2014) was recognized in the opening balance of equity as of the date of initial application on April 1, 2018. The following are primary changes and corresponding impacts of adopting IFRS 9 (2014).

Classification of financial assets

Debt securities other than those classified into financial assets measured at amortized cost were classified into financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9 (2013). IFRS 9 (2014) newly established a classification in which financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Under IFRS 9 (2014), a financial asset shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met: 1) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and 2) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Honda has evaluated the business models within which financial assets are held and contractual terms of financial assets. As a result, Honda has reclassified debt securities such as government bonds and municipal bonds held by certain subsidiaries from the financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss to financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as of April 1, 2018.

The impact of this reclassification is as follows:

Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 (2014) replaced the incurred loss model under IAS 39 with the expected credit loss (ECL) model. The ECL model requires the allowance for credit losses to be measured at amounts equal to either lifetime ECL for those financial assets which have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition or 12-month ECL for financial assets which have not experienced a SICR. Lifetime ECL represents ECL that results from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. 12-month ECL is the portion of lifetime ECL that results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. ECL is a probability-weighted estimate of the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rates.

When determining whether credit risk has increased significantly, Honda assesses financial assets either individually based primarily on delinquencies or collectively for groups of financial assets with shared risk characteristics such as the period of initial recognition, collateral type, original term and credit score considering relative changes in expected default rates since initial recognition.

The application of the ECL model resulted in an increase in the allowance for credit losses of ¥4,599 million as of April 1, 2018, which is on receivables from financial services.

(b) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

Honda has adopted IFRS 15 ”Revenue from Contracts with Customers” with a date of initial application of April 1, 2018 by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at the date of initial application. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the previous accounting policy.

Honda’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer goods or services without charges such as free inspections. Such promised goods or services are generally considered performance obligations and related sales revenue is deferred under IFRS15, if it is deemed material, while such sales was recognized at contract inception under the previous accounting policy.

Further, under IFRS 15, dealer incentives are considered variable consideration when determining the transaction price and sales revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which results in higher deductions from sales revenue recognized when products are sold to dealers.

The impacts of adopting IFRS 15 on Honda’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months and the three months ended September 30, 2018 are as follows:

1. Loss related to airbag inflators

Honda has been conducting market-based measures in relation to airbag inflators. Honda recognizes a provision for specific warranty costs when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. There is a possibility that Honda will need to recognize additional provisions when new evidence related to the product recalls arise, however, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this report.

In the United States and Canada, various class action lawsuits and civil lawsuits related to the above mentioned market-based measures was filed against Honda. The plaintiffs claimed for properly functioning airbag inflators, compensation of economic losses including incurred costs and the decline in the value of vehicles, as well as punitive damages.

Most of the class action lawsuits in the United States were transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and consolidated into a multidistrict class action litigation. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Honda has reached a settlement with the plaintiffs of the multidistrict class action litigation in the United States. Honda recognized the settlement of JPY 53,739 million as selling, general and administrative expenses, which includes funds contributed to enhance airbag inflator recall activities. The final approval of the settlement from court was completed as July 31, 2018 (U.S. local time).

For the class action lawsuits and civil lawsuits other that the above, Honda did not recognize a provision for loss contingencies because the conditions for a provision have not been met as of the date of this report. Therefore, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this report because there are some uncertainties, such as the period when these lawsuits will be concluded.

2. Reversal of impairment loss on investments accounted for using the equity method

For the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized reversal of impairment losses of JPY 15,782 million, which had been previously recognized, on certain investments accounted for using the equity method mainly due to the recovery of quoted market values. The reversal of impairment losses is included in share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method in the condensed consolidated statement of income. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not recognize any significant impairment losses.

Basis of the Distribution of Surplus

The Company considers the redistribution of profits to its shareholders to be one of its most important management issues, and makes distributions after taking into account, among others, its retained earnings for future growth and consolidated earnings performance based on a long-term perspective. The Company resolved that a second quarter dividend payment of ¥28 per share of common stock is to be paid considering its forecast for consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. The Company also revised the amount of the projected dividend per share of common stock for the year ending March 31, 2019 that was announced on April 27, 2018.
