1. BUSINESS RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PROSPECTS

(1) Business Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2017

Consolidated Financial Results

During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 (“the nine months”), sales in the Electronic Devices Group and Industrial & Automotive Components Group increased significantly on the back of strong component demand in information and communications, automotive-related and industrial machinery markets. Sales in the Document Solutions Group also increased due to new product introductions and aggressive sales promotion activities. Consolidated net sales for the nine months increased by ¥130,388 million, or 12.9%, compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2016 (“the previous nine months”) to ¥1,145,016 million due partly to contributions from merger and acquisition activity. This result is a record high for the nine-month period.

Profit increased significantly compared with the previous nine months due to an increase in sales and a reduction in costs. Profit from operations increased by ¥41,882 million, or 62.4%, to ¥108,984 million and income before income taxes increased by ¥46,158 million, or 46.8%, to ¥144,864 million compared with the previous nine months. Net income attributable to Kyocera Corporation’s shareholders for the nine months increased by ¥19,415 million, or 27.4%, to ¥90,267 million. Net income attributable to Kyocera Corporation’s shareholders decreased by approximately ¥11 billion in the third quarter (October 1 to December 31, 2017) due to tax expenses in our subsidiaries such as AVX Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary, primarily resulting from tax law revisions in the United States.

Average exchange rates for the nine months were ¥112 to the U.S. dollar, marking depreciation of the yen by ¥5 (4.7%), and ¥129 to the Euro, marking depreciation of the yen by ¥11 (9.3%), compared with the previous nine months. As a result, net sales and income before income taxes after translation into yen for the nine months increased by approximately ¥39 billion and ¥13 billion, respectively, compared with the previous nine months.

Consolidated Results by Reporting Segment

1) Industrial & Automotive Components Group

Sales of industrial tools increased on the back of increased demand and merger and acquisition activity. In addition, sales of automotive displays and fine ceramic parts for semiconductor processing equipment increased. Due primarily to these factors, sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous nine months. Operating profit increased significantly due to the growth in sales and a reduction in costs. The operating profit ratio improved to the double-digit level.

2) Semiconductor Components Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous nine months due mainly to an increase in sales of ceramic packages for smartphones and organic packages for automotive application. Operating profit increased due to the sales growth and cost reductions. The operating profit ratio also improved.

3) Electronic Devices Group

Sales of capacitors, crystal components and connectors increased due to expansion of production capacity on the back of solid demand for smartphone parts and to new product introductions. Additionally, demand for printing devices for industrial equipment was strong. There was also a contribution from merger and acquisition activity at AVX Corporation. As a result, sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous nine months. Operating profit increased significantly due to the sales growth and cost reductions, and the operating profit ratio also improved.

4) Communications Group

Sales increased compared with the previous nine months due to solid performance in the information and communications services business, which provides engineering services, etc., and, as a result, operating profit was recorded in this reporting segment. These results were despite a decrease in sales in the telecommunications equipment business due to a reduction in sales volume of mobile phones for the U.S. market.

5) Document Solutions Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous nine months due to an increase in sales volume resulting from launching of new products and aggressive sales promotion activities. Sales by businesses acquired through merger and acquisition activity also contributed. Operating profit increased significantly due to the increase in sales, cost reductions and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The operating profit ratio improved to the double-digit level.

6) Life & Environment Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous nine months due to downsizing of the solar energy business in the United States and lower sales in the Japanese solar energy market. Operating loss was recorded in this reporting segment.
