(6963) Financial Report for the First Six Months of the Year Ending March 31, 2015 1. Qualitative Information Regarding Business Results, etc. for the First Six Months of the Current Fiscal Year (1) Business Results General Overview of Business Performance The world economy in the first six months of the year ending March 31, 2015 grew steadily as a whole, despite concerns such as the worsening situation in the Ukraine and the stagnant economy in Europe, driven by an expanding economy in the USA, a gradual yet continuing recovery in Japan, and slowed but nonetheless strong growth in China and other countries. By individual regions, in the US the employment situation improved and the economy continued to expand as personal consumption, the housing market, and industrial production remained strong. In Europe, the economy began to stall due to the worsening situation in the Ukraine and the German economy, which started out strong, lost momentum in the latter half of the quarter. In Asia, performance varied by country with the Chinese economy slowing because of inactivity in the housing market, while the economies in Taiwan and India saw growth. In Japan, the economy was sluggish, caused by the increase in consumption tax and bad weather, but the employment situation improved and corporate earnings continued to get better, which resulted in a mild recovery. In the electronics industry, smartphones and tablets remained strong, while the automotive sector also saw strong demand due to a firm global market and increased use of in-vehicle electronics. Amid this business climate, the ROHM Group continued to strengthen product lineups for the automotive and industrial equipment markets, where growth is anticipated for the mid- to long-term, and developed new products in each category with a view to increase future earnings through 4 ‘growth engines’: [1] IC synergy (with LAPIS Semiconductor Co., Ltd.), [2] SiCbased power devices and power module products, [3] optical modules, and [4] sensor-related products. The ROHM Group also continued efforts from the last fiscal year to build up its sales operations in overseas markets and increase the sales of existing products. More specifically, the ROHM Group continued to strengthen its lineups of power ICs for in-vehicle microcontrollers and high voltage Zener diodes for the automotive sector. For smartphones and tablets, the ROHM Group developed and improved its lineups of sensors, power ICs, the RASMID ® series *1 of ultra-miniaturize components, as well as the world’s smallest transistors. The Group also worked to enhance its production system for power management ICs for Intel ® Atom TM Processors, which are in high demand for tablets. And for the industrial equipment market, the ROHM Group sold a gateway development kit for EnOcean *2 and expanded its lineups of low power microcontrollers and HD-PLC Inside *3 compliant baseband ICs for power line communications. Meanwhile, a new design center was opened in India and efforts were made to strengthen the customer support system in North America. In addition, the ROHM Group promoted the development of next-generation Wi-SUN communication modules *4 and wireless communication ICs compatible with Bluetooth Smart *5, and took advantage of its LED lighting and other semiconductor application technologies to work on prototype agricultural products. Under these circumstances, consolidated net sales for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 were 182,262 million yen (an increase of 8.5% from the same time last year) and operating income was 21,233 million yen (an increase of 105.4% from the same time last year). Ordinary income was 28,440 million yen thanks to foreign currency exchange gains (an increase of 69.9% from the same time last year) and net income for the quarter was 21,521 million yen (an increase of 75.8% from the same time last year). *1.

The primary factors behind this were increases respectively in notes and accounts receivable (trade) to 14,817 million yen, property, plants and equipment to 11,774 million yen, investments securities to 8,242 million yen, cash and deposits to 7,671 million yen, securities to 6,654 million yen, and miscellaneous investments and other assets to 5,692 million yen (of which 5,667 million yen were long-term deposits). Liabilities increased 16,524 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 107,543 million yen. The primary factors behind this were increases respectively in miscellaneous current liabilities to 10,048 million yen (of which 4,538 million yen were electronically recorded non-operating obligations and 2,724 million yen were accounts payable expenses), accounts payable to 2,379 million yen, electronically recorded operating obligations to 2,262 million yen, and notes and accounts payable (trade) to 2,001 million yen. Net assets increased 42,749 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 706,136 million yen. This owes primarily to increases of 19,592 million yen in retained earnings resulting from net income posted for the quarter and 16,841 million yen in foreign currency translation adjustments. As a result, equity ratio decreased from the 87.9% registered at the end of the previous fiscal year to 86.7%. Cash flows were as follows. Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter of the year ending March 31, 2015 increased 3,476 million yen from the same quarter of the previous fiscal year (a positive cash flow of 27,036 million yen), to 30,512 million yen. The positive factors behind this were an increase in income before income taxes and minority interests, and a decrease in accounts payable, while a smaller decrease in inventories worked negatively against that. Cash flow from investing activities was 61,015 million yen after an increased outlay of 29,849 million yen against the same quarter of the previous fiscal year (a negative cash flow of 31,166 million yen). This was mainly attributed to an increase in time deposits and a decrease in proceeds from sales of property, plants and equipment, which had a negative effect, and a decrease in purchases of short-term and long-term investment securities, which had a positive effect. Cash flow from financing activities was 3,280 million yen after an increased outlay of 1,556 million yen against the same quarter of the previous fiscal year (a negative cash flow of 1,724 million yen). The main factor behind this was an increase in cash dividends paid. After adding to the above factors an increase of 8,329 million yen due to exchange rate conversion differences, cash and cash equivalents for the second quarter of the current fiscal year decreased by 25,453 million yen from the previous fiscal year, amounting to 214,937 million yen. 4 ROHM CO., LTD. (6963) Financial Report for the First Six Months of the Year Ending March 31, 2015 (3) Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Financial Results Forecast Despite the worsening business confidence and other disconcerting events in China and Europe, signs of a recovery in consumption in Japan and a good economy in the US lead us to believe that the world economy is holding firm for now. In the electronics sector, slowing has been seen with some consumer products such as digital still cameras, however the smartphone, automotive and industrial equipment markets experienced steady growth. In the present business climate, the ROHM Group will continue to direct efforts and resources at overseas and key markets such as the automotive and industrial equipment sectors and will strengthen product lineups for smartphones and mobile devices. Additionally, the ROHM Group will take steps to enhance reliability and bring added value, strengthen customer support, and upgrade R&D and production systems from a long-term perspective. In consideration of the above-mentioned situations, we have revised our consolidated financial results forecast for the year ending on March 31, 2015 as follows. <Financial results forecast for the year ending March 31, 2015 (Consolidated)> (Units: million yen) Year Ending on March 31, 2015 Year Ended on March 31, 2014 Previous Forecast (Declared on May 1, 2014) Current Forecast (Declared on November 6, 2014) Percent Change From the Previous Year (%) Net sales 331,087 344,000 357,000 +7.8% Operating income 23,635 25,500 34,000 +43.8% Ordinary income 35,915 25,500 38,000 +5.8% Net income 32,091 21,000 30,000 -6.5% The forecasts are based on an exchange rate of 105 yen to US$1. 5 ROHM CO., LTD. (6963) Financial Report for the First Six Months of the Year Ending March 31, 2015 2. Items Regarding Summary Information (Note) (1) Major Changes in Subsidiaries During the First Six Months of the Current Fiscal Year None (2) Application of Specific Accounting Procedure for Compiling Consolidated Financial Statement None (3) Changes in Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates, and Restatement of Revisions Change in accounting policies (Application of Accounting Standards for Retirement Benefits) As of the first quarter of the year ending on March 31, 2015, the ROHM Group is applying ASBJ Statement No. 26 of May 17, 2012 (Accounting Standards for Retirement Benefits) and ASBJ Guidance No. 25 of May 17, 2012 (Guidance on Accounting Standards for Retirement Benefits) to provisions in Article 35 of the aforementioned standard and Article 67 of the aforementioned guidance. This has required ROHM to make changes to how retirement benefit obligations and current service costs are calculated. ROHM has changed how expected benefits are attributed to periods of time from a straight-line basis to a benefit formula basis, and how discount rates are determined from basing that on an approximate number of years for the average expected remaining working life of employees to using a single weighted average discount rate that reflects the estimated timing and amount of each benefit payment. In applying the aforementioned standard, the ROHM Group adjusted its retained earnings at the beginning of this quarter to offset the financial impact from changing how retirement benefit obligations and current service costs are calculated, in accordance with transitional provisions provided for in Article 37 of the aforementioned standard. As a result, net defined benefit assets were increased by 588 million yen and net defined benefit liabilities were decreased by 1,525 million yen at the beginning of this quarter, resulting in an increase of 1,305 million yen in retained earnings. Furthermore, because of the decrease in net defined benefit liabilities and the change in valuation allowances of deferred tax assets that are included in remeasurements of defined benefit plans posted at the beginning of this quarter, remeasurements of defined benefit plans were increased by 599 million yen. The impact of these changes on operating income, ordinary income and income before income taxes and minority interests for this quarter was negligible. 6 ROHM CO., LTD.
