Accompanying Information

1. BUSINESS RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PROSPECTS

(1) Business Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2016

Economic Situation and Business Environment

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 (“the nine months”), the Japanese economy recovered moderately, driven by improvement in exports and growing private-sector capital investment. Overseas, the U.S. economy expanded due mainly to an increase in personal consumption, while the European economy was sluggish. The growth rate in the Chinese economy continued to weaken despite an increase in sales of automobiles and houses. As for exchange rates for the nine months, the yen appreciated compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2015 (“the previous nine months”) despite sudden depreciation of the yen after the U.S. presidential election in November 2016.

With regard to the principal markets for Kyocera Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Kyocera”), the automotive market remained firm on the back of increased sales in China and Europe. In the information and communications markets, demand for miniaturized highly functional components increased, while stagnation in the growth rate of smartphone shipment volume continued. In the solar energy market, product prices continued to erode worldwide and demand in Japan decreased due to the impact of reduction in purchase price under feed-in tariff in Japan.

Consolidated Financial Results

Consolidated net sales for the nine months decreased by ¥78,402 million, or 7.2%, compared with the previous nine months to ¥1,014,628 million due mainly to the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation.

Profit from operations increased by ¥1,082 million, or 1.6%, to ¥67,102 million, compared with the previous nine months. Income before income taxes increased by ¥1,316 million, or 1.4%, to ¥98,706 million, and net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera Corporation for the nine months increased by ¥11,348 million, or 19.1%, to ¥70,852 million, compared with the previous nine months.

Average exchange rates for the nine months were ¥107 to the U.S. dollar, marking appreciation of ¥15 (12.3%) and ¥118 to the Euro, marking appreciation of ¥16 (11.9%), from the previous nine months. As a result, net sales and income before income taxes after translation into yen for the nine months were pushed down by approximately ¥90 billion and approximately ¥23 billion, respectively, compared with the previous nine months.

Consolidated Results by Reporting Segment

1) Fine Ceramic Parts Group

Sales in this reporting segment slightly increased compared with the previous nine months due to an increase in sales of automotive components and components for semiconductor processing equipment, despite an inventory adjustment of components for smartphones such as inductor cores. Operating profit decreased compared with the previous nine months due mainly to the negative impact from the yen’s appreciation and higher R&D expenses.

2) Semiconductor Parts Group

Sales in this reporting segment slightly increased compared with the previous nine months because a substantial increase in sales of ceramic packages for optical communications, etc. was offset by sluggish demand in printed wiring boards for communications infrastructure. Operating profit decreased due to the absence of approximately ¥12 billion of a gain on the sale of assets recorded in the previous nine months, as well as to the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation and a decline in profit from the organic materials business.

3) Applied Ceramic Products Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous nine months due to a decline in the sales of the solar energy business owing to sales price erosion and a decline in demand. Operating profit decreased due mainly to a decline in profit from the cutting tool business because of the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation.

4) Electronic Device Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous nine months due to sales price erosion and the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation, despite increased demand for small-sized capacitors and crystal components. Operating profit increased, despite the decline in sales, due to the absence of approximately ¥18 billion of impairment losses on goodwill and other assets in the display business recorded in the previous nine months.

5) Telecommunications Equipment Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous nine months due to a decline in sales volume resulting from a reduction in the production ratio of low-end mobile phones for the overseas market, which was based on Kyocera’s product strategy specialized in distinctive mobile phones with high durability and other unique features. Although it was insufficient to offset accumulated loss for the six months up to September 30, 2016, operating profit was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2016 as a result of product strategy and structural reforms.

6) Information Equipment Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous nine months due to the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation even though the sales volume for equipment was solid on the back of aggressive sales activities for new products. Operating profit increased compared with the previous nine months, however, due to the effect of launch of new products and cost reductions resulting from, among others, an improvement in productivity.
