Accompanying Information
1. ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(1) Analysis of Business
Results
[Business Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2016]
Economic Situation and Business Environment
During the year ended March 31, 2016
(“fiscal 2016”), the Japanese economy recorded low growth due mainly to a decline in personal consumption, despite improved corporate earnings and an increase in private capital investment. The U.S. economy expanded primarily on the back
of improvement in the employment situation and growth in personal consumption, while the European economy continued to show a low level of growth and the slowdown in the Chinese economy became clearer.
With regard to the principal markets for Kyocera Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Kyocera Group” or “Kyocera”), shipment volume of
smartphones grew in the digital consumer equipment market and sales volume increased in automotive markets in China and the United States.
Consolidated Financial Results
During fiscal 2016, sales in the Fine Ceramic Parts Group and Electronic Device Group increased, particularly in the automotive-related and smartphone
markets. However, sales declined in the Telecommunications Equipment Group and the Applied Ceramic Products Group, including the solar energy business. As a result, consolidated net sales for fiscal 2016 amounted to ¥1,479,627 million, down
¥46,909 million, or 3.1%, compared with the year ended March 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”).
Profit from operations amounted to
¥92,656 million on par with fiscal 2015 due primarily to improvement in profitability in the Applied Ceramic Products Group on the back of cost reductions, despite the recording of losses in the amount of approximately ¥23 billion, including
an impairment of goodwill in the Electronic Device Group. Income before income taxes increased by ¥23,721 million, or 19.5%, to ¥145,583 million, compared with ¥121,862 million for fiscal 2015, due primarily to the recording of gain on
the sale of an asset in the amount of approximately ¥20 billion.
On the other hand, net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera
Corporation decreased by ¥6,828 million, or 5.9%, to ¥109,047 million, due to the decrease as compared with fiscal 2015 in the amount of income derived from revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in line with a revision of the
tax system in Japan.
Average foreign currency exchange rates for the fiscal 2016 were ¥120 to the U.S. dollar, marking depreciation of
¥10 (approximately 9%), and ¥133 to the Euro, marking appreciation of ¥6 (approximately 4%) in comparison with fiscal 2015.

Consolidated Results by Reporting Segment
1) Fine Ceramic Parts Group
Sales in this
reporting segment increased compared with fiscal 2015 due primarily to increased sales of components for industrial machinery such as semiconductor processing equipment and of automotive components such as camera modules. Operating profit remained
roughly on the same level as in fiscal 2015 due mainly to the effect of a change in product mix.
2) Semiconductor Parts Group
Sales in this reporting segment remained roughly on par with those for fiscal 2015 while operating profit decreased due primarily to a decline in sales of
packages for digital consumer equipment and the impact of a decline in product prices, despite an increase in sales of packages for the communications infrastructure market and packages for LEDs for the automotive market.
3) Applied Ceramic Products Group
Sales in the
cutting tool business increased primarily for automotive-related markets. Conversely, sales decreased in the solar energy business due to a decline in sales in Japan, Kyocera’s principal market, despite an increase in sales in the U. S. As a
result, sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with fiscal 2015. Operating profit, however, increased due mainly to cost reduction efforts.
4) Electronic Device Group
Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with fiscal 2015
due primarily to growth in sales of capacitors for smartphones and printing devices for industrial equipment as well as to the contribution of sales from Nihon Inter Electronics Corporation, which joined Kyocera Group in September 2015. Operating
profit, however, decreased due mainly to the recording of losses, including an impairment of goodwill.
5) Telecommunications Equipment Group
Sales of mobile phone handsets with exceptional damage and water resistance grew steadily. However, sales in this reporting segment decreased
compared with fiscal 2015 due to a decline in sales of PHS-related products and low end handsets. Despite the impact of the decline in sales, operating loss was reduced compared with fiscal 2015, during which a loss from impairment of goodwill was
recorded.
6) Information Equipment Group
Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with fiscal 2015 due to growth in sales volume of multifunctional peripherals and printers as result of active efforts to expand sales. On the other
hand, operating profit decreased due to increased cost ratio of raw materials reflecting the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
7) Others
Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with fiscal 2015 due primarily to a
decline in sales of Kyocera Chemical Corporation. On the other hand, operating profit increased due mainly to gain on sales of assets.

[Consolidated Forecasts for the Year Ending March 31, 2017]
In the year ending March 31, 2017 (“fiscal 2017”), the Japanese economy is expected to continue growing at a low rate. Overseas, the U.S.
economy is forecast to continue expanding, while persistent low growth is forecast in the European economy and the growth rate in the Chinese economy is projected to decline. With regard to principal markets for Kyocera, despite expectations of
steady expansion in the automotive market, stagnant demand in the mobile phone handset market and contraction in the solar energy market in Japan are forecast.
In light of these forecasts, Kyocera projects financial results for fiscal 2017 as shown in the table below.
Kyocera will strive to increase orders in key markets and at the same time work to cultivate new markets and new customers by grasping new business opportunities and promote thorough cost reductions as
means to achieve full-year consolidated financial forecasts.
Kyocera expects the yen to continue appreciating in fiscal 2017 in year-on-year
terms. Assumed exchange rates for fiscal 2017 are ¥110 to the U.S. dollar, marking appreciation of ¥10 (approximately 8%) compared with ¥120 for fiscal 2016, and ¥120 to the euro, marking appreciation of ¥13 (approximately 10%)
compared with ¥133 for fiscal 2016.

(2) Analysis of Financial Condition
Consolidated Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2016 increased by
¥22,657 million to ¥374,020 million from ¥351,363 million at March 31, 2015.
i) Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2016 increased by ¥63,273 million to ¥194,040 million from ¥130,767 million for fiscal
2015. This was mainly because receivables and inventories, which increased for fiscal 2015, decreased for fiscal 2016 although net income decreased.
ii) Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2016
increased by ¥13,201 million to ¥106,809 million from ¥93,608 million for fiscal 2015. This mainly reflected that a decrease in proceeds from maturities of held-to-maturity securities exceeded a decrease in payments for purchases of
held-to-maturity securities.
iii) Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2016 increased by ¥10,616 million to ¥50,608 million from ¥39,992 million for fiscal 2015. This was due mainly to increases in dividends paid.

(3) Basic Profit Distribution Policy and Dividends for the Year Ended March 31, 2016 and for
the Year Ending March 31, 2017
i) Basic profit distribution policy
Kyocera Corporation believes that the best way to increase corporate value and meet shareholders’ expectations is to improve future consolidated performance on an ongoing basis. Kyocera Corporation
therefore has adopted a principal guideline that dividend amounts be within a range based on net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera Corporation on a consolidated basis, and has set its dividend policy to maintain a payout ratio of 30% or
more of consolidated net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera Corporation. In addition, Kyocera Corporation determines dividend amounts based on an overall assessment, taking into account various factors including the amount of capital
expenditures necessary for medium-to-long-term corporate growth.
Kyocera Corporation also has adopted policies to ensure a sound financial
basis, and, for such purpose, it sets aside other general reserves in preparation for the creation of new businesses, cultivation of new markets, development of new technologies and acquisition, as necessary, of outside management resources to
achieve sustainable corporate growth.
ii) Dividends for the year ended March 31, 2016
Pursuant to “i) Basic profit distribution policy” set forth above and based on full-year performance for the year ended March 31, 2016, Kyocera
Corporation will distribute a year-end dividend for the year ended March 31, 2016 in the amount of 50 yen per share. When aggregated with the interim dividend in the amount of 50 yen per share, the total annual dividend will be 100 yen per share,
the same amount as in the year ended March 31, 2015.
iii) Basic profit distribution policy for the year ending March 31, 2017 (Revision of
consolidated dividend ratio)
Since the year ended March 31, 2005, Kyocera Corporation has implemented a dividend policy based on payout ratio
in order to clarify its shareholder-oriented stance and establish a greater linkage between the amount of dividends and its performance. In order to further enhance the return of profit to shareholders and expand its shareholder base, Kyocera
Corporation will revise this policy to aim for a consolidated dividend payout ratio of around 40% commencing in the year ending March 31, 2017, replacing the current dividend payout ratio of 30% or more. Other basic policies with respect to profit
distribution are not amended.
iv) Dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2017
Dividend amounts for the year ending March 31, 2017 will be decided pursuant to “iii) Basic profit distribution policy for the year ending March 31,
2017 (Revision of consolidated dividend ratio)” set forth above. At present, Kyocera Corporation forecasts a total annual dividend in the amount of 100 yen per share, based on its financial forecast for the year ending March 31, 2017.

2. MANAGEMENT POLICIES
(1) Basic Policy
Kyocera’s management rationale is “To provide opportunities for the
material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint efforts, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind,” and to realize this, we are striving to put into practice Amoeba Management, our unique business
management system, and to achieve further sales expansion and high profitability. In addition, Kyocera aims to be respected as “The Company” from the perspective of corporate ethics.
Kyocera’s management policy is to be a “high-growth, highly profitable company.” To realize this policy, Kyocera aims to increase
corporate value by further enhancing performance through “strengthening existing businesses,” “creating new businesses” and “thorough cost reduction.”
(2) Management Target
To be a high-growth, highly profitable company, Kyocera aims to achieve
continuous sales growth and a consolidated pre-tax income ratio of 10 % or higher.
(3) Medium-term Management Strategy and Management
Challenges
Kyocera has a wide range of management resources within the Kyocera Group, from materials technologies such as ceramics to
components, devices, equipment, systems and services. Kyocera will strive to increase the sophistication of technologies, enhance new product development, expand sales by making the best use of sales networks, promote cost reductions and further
reinforce management foundations by exploiting the collective capabilities of the Kyocera Group, which includes bolstering ties between businesses and Group companies. By doing so, Kyocera aims to be a high-growth, highly profitable company. Kyocera
will focus on the following challenges:
i) Expand Business in key markets
Kyocera views the information and communications market, automotive-related market, the environment and energy market and the medical and healthcare market as key markets and will strive to increase sales
and profit by expanding existing businesses and creating new businesses in these markets. In addition, we will work to strengthen various technologies and product development with the aim of bolstering the proliferation of IoT and strive to secure
new business opportunities.
In the information and communications market, Kyocera will work to develop and expand sales of high-value-added
products that meet trends of more advanced performance and multiple functions in digital consumer equipment, which includes smartphones, as well as an increase in demand primarily for high capacity and high-speed transmission in each industrial
market. In addition, efforts will be made to release new products and to cultivate new markets for telecommunications and information equipment that incorporate unique technologies and differentiate from the competition.
In automotive-related markets, we will strive to strengthen our framework by creating an organization that straddles the Kyocera Group so that we can
take advantage of various business opportunities associated with increased electrification and environmental responsiveness of automobiles and proliferation of automated driving. We will take steps to increase share by expanding application of
existing products and cultivating new customers as well as accelerate new product development by strengthening technology development and collaborating with customers.
In the environment and energy market, Kyocera will push ahead with broad business development, from energy creating business through solar power generating systems to energy storage business through the
supply of electricity storage units and energy saving business that seeks to enhance efficiency of power consumption through an energy management system. In response to the rise in self-consumption of power created, we will seek to improve the
conversion efficiency of solar modules, introduce a high-efficiency fuel cell system to market and expand sales of large storage batteries. At the same time, we will strive to expand business by strengthening the development of a system that
contributes to the stable supply of power and power savings.
In the medical and healthcare market, Kyocera will expand the medical materials
business, which includes artificial joints. Additionally, we will take advantage of business opportunities by pursuing synergies in technologies from materials to components and systems, and by linking up with external organizations. We will also
work to reinforce new product development and expand business domain in healthcare-related markets.
13
ii) Enhance management foundations
Kyocera will strive to optimize its production system and expand production capacity with the aim of further boosting competitiveness. Overseas, we will pursue expansion of production items and production
volume in Vietnam as well as thoroughly reduce production costs. In Japan, we will work to expand high-value-added products by leveraging sophisticated production technology capabilities. In addition, we will actively invest in business to drive
future growth, which will include utilizing external management resources through M&A with the objective of bolstering existing businesses and creating new businesses.
3. BASIC RATIONALE FOR SELECTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD
Kyocera has disclosed its
consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for long periods since it registered its common stock and American Depositary Share with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission in 1975. Kyocera continues to adopt U.S. GAAP as it considers being consistent with the past consolidated financial statements will contribute to benefits for the users of Kyocera’s consolidated financial
statements.

iii) Summary of significant accounting policies
Kyocera’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
On April 1, 2015, Kyocera adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This accounting
standard changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations.” A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is
required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This accounting standard also requires an entity to provide
disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on
Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No.
2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This accounting standard requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary
course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. On December 31, 2015, Kyocera early adopted this accounting standard. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on
Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In December 2015, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, this accounting standard changes require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a
classified statement of financial position. On December 31, 2015, Kyocera early adopted this accounting standard. For the adoption of this accounting standard, Kyocera did not adjust prior period’s financial statement retrospectively.
