Announcement of Financial Results:
Panasonic Reports Second-Quarter and Six-Month Results

-Business Restructuring Expenses Cause Net Loss;
Annual Forecast Revised Downward-

OSAKA, Japan--()--Panasonic Corporation (NYSE:PC)(TOKYO:6752) ("Panasonic") today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2011, of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 (fiscal 2012).

Consolidated Second-quarter Results

Consolidated group sales for the second quarter decreased by 6% to 2,075.7 billion yen, from 2,206.8 billion yen, compared with the same period a year ago. Of the consolidated group total, domestic sales amounted to 1,068.8 billion yen, down by 6% from 1,135.1 billion yen and overseas sales decreased to 1,006.9 billion yen, down by 6% from 1,071.7 billion yen.

The Japanese economy was severely affected by the global economic recession, appreciation of the yen and declining stock prices. However, there were signs of recovery with the improvements in production and exports due to the normalization of the supply chain which had been disrupted by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

In the meantime, the global economy showed signs of slowdown caused by the destabilization of the European finance market due to the government debt crisis in some countries, the high rate of unemployment and faltering house prices in the U.S., and slowing of demand expansion in emerging markets.

In such a business environment, Panasonic has been working towards two themes, Paradigm Shift to Growth and Laying Foundations to be a Green Innovation Company, in the second year of its three-year midterm management plan called "Green Transformation 2012 (GT12)." This is the first step towards the 100th anniversary vision of becoming the "No.1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry."

Operating profit1 decreased to 42.0 billion yen from 85.2 billion yen a year ago. Although the company pursued a thorough streamlining program to reduce material and fixed costs, this result was due mainly to price decline, sales decrease affected by the disaster and the appreciation of the yen. In the meantime, pre-tax loss was 141.9 billion yen compared with a profit of 60.3 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to the business restructuring expenses such as the implementation of early retirement programs and the impairment losses of fixed assets. Net loss attributable to Panasonic Corporation amounted to 105.8 billion yen, compared with a profit of 31.0 billion yen a year ago.

1 For information about operating profit, see Note 2 of the Notes to consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Six-month Results

Consolidated group sales for six months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by 8% to 4,005.2 billion yen, compared with 4,367.9 billion yen in the same period of fiscal 2011. Domestic sales amounted to 2,036.4 billion yen, down by 7% from 2,189.5 billion yen a year ago, while overseas sales decreased by 10% to 1,968.8 billion yen, down from 2,178.4 billion yen a year ago.

The company's operating profit for the first six months decreased significantly to 47.6 billion yen, from 169.0 billion yen a year ago. Pre-tax loss totaled 159.3 billion yen, compared with a pre-tax income of 144.6 billion yen a year ago. Net income attributable to Panasonic Corporation turned to a loss of 136.2 billion yen from an income of 74.7 billion yen a year ago.

Consolidated Six-month Breakdown by Business Segment

The company's six-month consolidated sales and segment profit by business segment, compared with the amounts a year ago, are summarized as follows:

Digital AVC Networks

Sales decreased by 14% to 1,432.5 billion yen from 1,657.8 billion yen a year ago. Despite favorable sales of Blu-ray Disc recorders, this result was due mainly to sales decline in flat-panel TVs and mobile phones. Segment loss amounted to 18.1 billion yen, compared with segment profit of 61.3 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to sales decrease and price decline.

Home Appliances

Sales increased by 3% to 658.9 billion yen, compared with 636.7 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to favorable sales in air conditioners as well as stable sales in washing machines and refrigerators. Segment profit was 52.6 billion yen, compared with 49.1 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to sales increase and streamlining of material cost.

PEW and PanaHome

Sales increased by 5% to 879.2 billion yen from 834.0 billion yen a year ago. Regarding Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (PEW) and its subsidiaries, sales growth in electrical construction and building materials of housing/building-related business and home appliances business contributed to the overall sales increase, although sales declined in devices such as electronic materials and automation controls mainly for automobile-related products. For PanaHome Corporation and its subsidiaries, favorable sales of housing construction mainly for detached housing led to its overall sales increase, thanks to the Japanese stable housing market conditions. Segment profit was 31.6 billion yen, increased from 30.8 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to favorable sales and fixed cost reduction.

Components and Devices

Sales decreased by 14% to 411.5 billion yen, compared with 480.9 billion yen a year ago. This result was due mainly to sluggish sales in semiconductors as well as declines in sales of general components and batteries. Segment loss was 7.4 billion yen, compared with segment profit of 25.5 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to sales decrease and price decline.

SANYO

Sales decreased by 19% to 669.3 billion yen, compared with 829.7 billion yen a year ago. Although sales of solar photovoltaic systems, cold-chain equipments and commercial air conditioners were stable, sales of electronic components, digital cameras, TVs and in-car-related equipments were sluggish. Sales decline owing to the semiconductor business transfer in fiscal 2011 also led to the overall sales decrease. A 26.9 billion yen of segment loss was recorded compared with a segment profit of 6.1 billion yen a year ago, influenced by sales decreases, after incurring the expenses such as amortization of intangible assets recorded at the acquisition.

Other

Sales totaled 553.9 billion yen, down by 1% from 560.4 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to sales decline in components for group companies in Panasonic. Segment profit amounted to 23.9 billion yen, compared with 23.0 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to fixed cost reduction.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities for six months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to merely 1.0 billion yen, due to incurring net loss. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 111.9 billion yen. This was due mainly to capital expenditures, offsetting proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was 83.1 billion yen, due mainly to repayments of long-term debt and dividend payment. Taking into consideration the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, cash and cash equivalents totaled 740.6 billion yen as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of 234.2 billion yen, compared with the end of the last fiscal year.

The company's consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2011 decreased 507.0 billion yen to 7,315.9 billion yen from the end of fiscal 2011. This was due mainly to the appreciation of the yen, a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in property, plant and equipment by incurring impairment losses. The company's consolidated total liabilities decreased by 198.6 billion yen to 4,678.0 billion yen, attributable primarily to the appreciation of the yen and a decrease in account payables. Panasonic Corporation shareholders' equity increased 0.6 billion yen, compared with the end of fiscal 2011, to 2,559.6 billion yen as of September 30, 2011. Despite an increase of 271.2 billion yen in Panasonic shareholder's equity by share exchanges for acquisition of all shares of PEW and SANYO, this was primarily as a decrease in retained earnings by incurring net loss attributable to Panasonic Corporation and deterioration in accumulated other comprehensive income, Noncontrolling interests decreased 309.0 billion yen to 78.3 billion yen, due mainly to the share exchanges as stated above.

Interim and Year-end Dividend

The Board of Directors of the company resolved today to distribute an interim (semiannual) cash dividend of 5.0 yen per common share to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2011, payable November 30, 2011. This is equal to last year's interim dividend of 5.0 yen. The company also plans to distribute a year-end cash dividend of 5.0 yen per common share (payable to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2012). If implemented, total dividends for fiscal 2012, including the aforementioned interim dividend of 5.0 yen per common share, will be 10.0 yen per common share.

Difference Between Result and Forecast for Consolidated Six-month

Regarding the six months result of fiscal 2012, sales was 4,005.2 billion yen compared with the forecast of 4,000.0 billion yen, due mainly to stable sales in domestic market. Operating profit was 47.6 billion yen, increased from the forecast of 10.0 billion yen due primarily to sales increase and thorough fixed cost reduction. In the meantime, Pre-tax loss was 159.3 billion yen, compared with the forecast of a loss of 50.0 billion yen and Net loss attributable to Panasonic Corporation was 136.2 billion yen, compared with the forecast of a loss of 70.0 billion yen. These results are due mainly to incurring the costs related to the structural reforms of flat-panel TVs business in other deductions. Net loss attributable to Panasonic Corporation, per share was 58.88 yen, compared with the forecast of 30.27 yen.

Outlook for Fiscal 2012

Regarding the annual forecast for fiscal 2012, the company revised its previous sales forecast of 8,700.0 billion yen downward to 8,300.0 billion yen due primarily to the sluggish overseas sales affected by ever-intensified price competition for digital products and the appreciation of the yen. Operating profit is expected to be 130.0 billion yen, a decrease from the previous forecast of 270.0 billion yen due mainly to the sales decline. In addition, there will be negative factors such as the appreciation of the yen and rising prices in raw materials, which will not be able to be offset by fixed cost reduction. Pre-tax loss is forecast to be 430.0 billion yen, compared with the previous forecast of an income of 100.0 billion yen, and Net loss attributable to Panasonic Corporation is expected to be 420.0 billion yen, compared with the previous forecast of an income of 30.0 billion yen. These changes are primarily due to an expected increase of restructuring expenses of 404.0 billion yen mainly for flat-panel TVs and semiconductor businesses to improve its financial situation. The total business restructuring expenses are now expected to be 514.0 billion yen, which are included in non-operating income/loss (a loss of 560.0 billion yen). Net loss attributable to Panasonic Corporation, per share is anticipated to be 181.64 yen, compared with the previous forecast of an income of 12.97 yen.

Panasonic Corporation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of electronic and electric products for consumer, business and industrial use. Panasonic's shares are listed on the Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and New York Stock Exchanges.

Notes to consolidated financial statements:

 
1. The company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).
 
2. In order to be consistent with generally accepted financial reporting practices in Japan, operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, is presented as net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. The company believes that this is useful to investors in comparing the company's financial results with those of other Japanese companies. Please refer to the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and Note 3 for the U.S. GAAP reconciliation.
 
3. Under U.S. GAAP, expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs at certain domestic and overseas companies and the impairment loss on fixed assets are included as part of operating profit in the statement of operations.
 
4. In other income (deductions), the company incurred expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs of certain domestic and overseas companies.
 
5. The impairment loss on fixed assets are included as other income (deduction), net.
 
6. Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation was reported as a loss of 261,645 million yen for the six months ended September 30, 2011, and a loss of 46,563 million yen for the six months ended September 30, 2010. Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation includes "net income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation" and increases (decreases) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation.
 
7. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Panasonic Corporation common shareholders has been omitted because the company did not have potential common shares that were outstanding for the period.
 
8. Regarding consolidated segment profit (loss), expenses for basic research and administrative expenses at the corporate headquarters level are treated as unallocatable expenses for each business segment, and are included in Corporate and eliminations.
 
9. On April 1, 2011, Panasonic conducted share exchanges in order to make Panasonic a wholly-owning parent company, and its subsidiaries Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.
