Overview of Business Results

NEC has revised its operating segments from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Figures for the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year have been restated to conform to the new segments.

“Adjusted operating profit (loss)” is an indicator for measuring underlying profitability in order to clarify the contribution of acquired companies to NEC’s overall earnings. It is measured by deducting amortization of intangible assets recognized as a result of M&A and expenses for acquisition of companies (financial advisory fees and other fees.) from operating profit (loss). Also, “Adjusted net profit (loss) attributable to owners of the parent” is an indicator for measuring underlying profitability attributable to owners of the parent. It is measured by deducting adjustment items of operating profit (loss) and corresponding amount of tax and non-controlling interests from net profit (loss) attributable to owners of the parent.

In addition, as the provisional accounting treatment for KMD Holding ApS (“KMD”) acquired in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 is settled during the 2nd quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the corresponding figures in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 have been retrospectively adjusted.

(1) Overview of Operating Results

The world economy and the Japanese economy both deteriorated significantly during the first quarter of the current consolidated period due to the effects of restrictions on personal movement and suspension of sales and production activities due to the global pandemic of new coronavirus (“COVID-19”).

Under this business environment, the NEC Group recorded consolidated revenue of 587.7 billion JPY for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 66.1 billion JPY (10.1%) year-on-year. This decrease was mainly due to decreased revenue in the Enterprise business, the Global business and the Public Solutions business.

Regarding profitability, operating profit (loss) worsened by 13.7 billion JPY year-on-year, to an operating loss of 10.3 billion JPY, mainly due to decreased revenue, despite improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses from the efficiency on expenditure, in addition to improvement in other operating income from gain on sales of subsidiaries. Adjusted operating profit (loss) worsened by 13.4 billion JPY year-on-year, to an adjusted operating loss of 5.8 billion JPY.

Profit (loss) before income taxes was a loss of 9.6 billion JPY, a year-on-year worsening of 13.4 billion JPY, mainly due to worsened operating profit (loss).

Net profit (loss) attributable to owners of the parent was a loss of 5.0 billion JPY, a worsening of 8.3 billion JPY year-on-year. This was primarily due to worsened profit (loss) before income taxes. Adjusted net profit (loss) attributable to owners of the parent worsened by 8.1 billion JPY year-on-year, to an adjusted net loss attributable to owners of the parent of 2.3 billion JPY.

Segment results are as follows, revenue by segment is revenue from external customers.

 

  a.

Public Solutions Business

In the Public Solutions business, revenue was 74.8 billion JPY, a decrease of 12.4 billion JPY (-14.2%) year-on-year, mainly due to decreased sales in sectors that include public and healthcare, as well as reduced renewal demand for business PCs.

Adjusted operating profit (loss) worsened by 2.9 billion JPY year-on-year, to an adjusted operating loss of 3.3 billion JPY, mainly due to decreased sales.

 

  b.

Public Infrastructure Business

In the Public Infrastructure business, revenue was 122.7 billion JPY, a decrease of 7.8 billion JPY (-6.0%) year-on-year, mainly due to decreased sales in sectors that include aerospace and defense, as well as decreased sales at consolidated subsidiaries.

  e.

Global Business

In the Global business, revenue was 97.0 billion JPY, a decrease of 17.2 billion JPY (-15.1%) year-on-year, mainly due to decreased sales in the display and wireless backhaul, in addition to the termination of part of KMD’s business, which was expected from the time of its acquisition, despite increased sales of submarine systems.

Adjusted operating profit (loss) worsened by 2.5 billion JPY year-on-year, to an adjusted operating loss of 3.0 billion JPY, mainly due to decreased sales.

Total assets were 2,969.7 billion JPY as of June 30, 2020, a decrease of 153.6 billion JPY as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. Current assets as of June 30, 2020 decreased by 180.6 billion JPY compared with the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,518.3 billion JPY, mainly due to the collection of trade and other receivables, despite increased inventories. Non-current assets as of June 30, 2020 increased by 27.0 billion JPY compared with the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,451.4 billion JPY. This was mainly due to an increase in other financial assets resulting from the rising market value of equity securities.

Total liabilities as of June 30, 2020 decreased by 151.3 billion JPY compared with the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,857.5 billion JPY. This was mainly due to a decrease in trade and other payables from the payment of materials cost and a decrease in accruals from bonus payments. The balance of interest-bearing debt amounted to 663.1 billion JPY, a decrease of 12.3 billion JPY as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The debt-equity ratio as of June 30, 2020 was 0.73 (an improvement of 0.01 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year). The balance of net interest-bearing debt as of June 30, 2020, calculated by offsetting the balance of interest-bearing debt with the balance of cash and cash equivalents, amounted to 257.5 billion JPY, a decrease of 58.6 billion JPY as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. The net debt-equity ratio as of June 30, 2020 was 0.28 (an improvement of 0.07 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year).

Total equity was 1,112.2 billion JPY as of June 30, 2020, a decrease of 2.3 billion JPY as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the payment of dividends and recognition of net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, despite an increase in other components of equity resulting from the rising market value of equity securities.

As a result, total equity attributable to owners of the parent (total equity less non-controlling interests) as of June 30, 2020 was 912.3 billion JPY, and the ratio of equity attributable to owners of the parent was 30.7% (an improvement of 1.6 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year).

(2) Overview of Cash Flows

Net cash inflows from operating activities for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 were 98.9 billion JPY, remaining almost flat year-on-year, mainly due to improved working capital and worsened profit (loss) before income taxes.

Net cash outflows from investing activities for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 were 14.7 billion JPY, remaining almost flat year-on-year.

As a result, free cash flows (the sum of cash flows from operating activities and investing activities) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 totaled a cash inflow of 84.2 billion JPY, remaining almost flat year-on-year.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 totaled a cash outflow of 39.7 billion JPY, mainly due to redemption of bonds, dividends paid and repayments of lease liabilities, despite issuance of bonds.

As a result, cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 amounted to 405.6 billion JPY, an increase of 46.3 billion JPY as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year.

(4) Information about revising reportable segments

From the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, the Company’s descriptions of the reportable segments have been revised based on a new performance management system and a new organization structure effective as of April 1, 2020.

Under the former organization structure, among the products and services provided by each business unit to customers, products and services managed by other business units were recorded as revenue in the segment to which the business unit managing the products and services belonged. However, sales revenue of products and services are now recorded in the business unit providing products and services to customers.

Along with this, the “System Platform” segment is no longer an operating segment, and, excluding revenue recorded in other operating segments, revenue previously recorded in the “System Platform” segment, is now included in “Others”.

NEC also made segment changes due to organizational reforms and changes in the management system of subsidiaries that have been implemented to accelerate business development related to digital transformation (DX) and strengthen business execution capabilities by integrating businesses with compatibility.

In connection with this revision, segment information for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the revised segments for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

Financial Instruments

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities as of March 31 and June 30, 2020, are as follows:

 

     JPY (millions)  
     March 31, 2020      June 30, 2020  
     Carrying amount      Fair value      Carrying amount      Fair value  

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost:

           

Bonds

     199,596        200,425        209,477        210,158  

Long-term borrowings

     220,219        220,879        230,240        230,626  

The financial instruments whose fair value is determined to be close or equal to the carrying amount are excluded from the chart above. The financial instruments regularly measured at fair value but equal to the carrying amount are also excluded from the chart above.

Basis of the fair value measurement for financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and accruals: The fair value is determined as equal or close to the carrying amount since they are to be settled in a short term.

The fair value of loans is measured by discounting estimated future cash flows to the present value based on an interest rate that takes into account the remaining period to the maturity date and credit risk.

Among equity instruments designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, the fair value of listed equity instruments is determined using a quoted market price at an exchange. The fair value of equity securities with no active market is measured mainly by using the comparable company valuation method or other appropriate valuation methods. Price book-value ratio (PBR) of a comparable company is used as a significant unobservable input in the fair value measurement of the equity securities with no active market. The fair value increases (decreases) as the PBR of a comparable company rises (declines).

Among the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities, forward exchange contracts are determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the end of the fiscal year, while interest rate swaps are calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on the interest rate at the end of the reporting period.

The fair values of short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings (current portion) are determined as the carrying amount, as the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short period of maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term borrowings (excluding the current portion) is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, based on the expected interest rate at which a similar new borrowing was made.

The fair value of bonds is determined based on the quoted market price in a non-active market.

Fair value hierarchy

Hierarchy and classification used for the fair value measurement for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices classified into Level 1 that are observable for the financial asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not based on observable market data

The NEC Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy when a triggering event of the change has occurred.

Financial assets classified into Level 3 mainly consist of unquoted equity instruments. The fair value of significant unquoted equity instruments is measured by using the comparable company valuation method or other appropriate valuation methods. For the financial assets classified into Level 3, changes of unobservable inputs to reasonably possible alternative assumptions are not expected to cause significant changes in the fair value of those financial assets. Further, fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities classified into Level 3 are reviewed and approved by the personnel responsible based on relating internal regulations.
