HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. REPORTS

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

FOR THE FISCAL FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2010

Tokyo, July 30, 2010 — Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2010.

First Quarter Results

Honda’s consolidated net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2010 totaled JPY 272.4 billion (USD 3,080 million), an increase of JPY 264.9 billion from the same period in 2009. Basic net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. per common share for the quarter amounted to JPY 150.27 (USD 1.70), an increase of JPY 146.10 from JPY 4.17 for the corresponding period last year. One Honda American Depository Share represents one common share.

Consolidated net sales and other operating revenue (herein referred to as “revenue”) for the quarter amounted to JPY 2,361.4 billion (USD 26,689 million), an increase of 17.9% from the same period in 2009, due primarily to increased revenue in the automobile business, despite unfavorable currency translation effects. Honda estimates that if calculated at the same exchange rate as the corresponding period in 2009, revenue for the quarter would have increased by approximately 19.5%.

Consolidated operating income for the quarter totaled JPY 234.4 billion (USD 2,650 million), an increase of 831.7%, due primarily to the positive impact of increased revenue and model mix, reduction in vehicle costs as a result of increased production and continuing cost reduction efforts, despite increased R&D expenses and the unfavorable impact of currency effects.

Consolidated income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates for the quarter totaled JPY 256.1 billion (USD 2,895 million), an increase of JPY 250.6 billion from the same period in 2009.

Equity in income of affiliates amounted to JPY 35.6 billion (USD 403 million) for the quarter, an increase of 150.6% from the corresponding period last year.

Business Segment

With respect to Honda’s sales for the fiscal first quarter by business segment, motorcycle unit sales totaled 2,887 thousand units, an increase of 28.2% from the same period last year. Unit sales in Japan totaled 45 thousand units, which is the same level compared to the same period last year. Outside of Japan, total unit sales was 2,842 thousand units, an increase of 28.8% from the same period in 2009*, due mainly to increased unit sales in Asia, especially in India, Indonesia and Thailand, and Other regions including South America. Revenue from sales to external customers increased 24.9%, to JPY 320.2 billion (USD 3,619 million) from the same period last year, due mainly to increased unit sales and favorable currency translation effects. Operating income increased 455.0% to JPY 31.3 billion (USD 354 million) from the same period last year, due primarily to the positive impact of increased sales volume and model mix and reduction in vehicle costs as a result of increased production.

 

* Of the net sales of Honda-brand motorcycle products that are manufactured and sold by overseas affiliates accounted for under the equity method, those with respect to which parts for manufacturing were not supplied from Honda or its subsidiaries are not included in net sales and other operating revenue, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these unit sales are not included in the financial results. Sales of such products amounted to approximately 1,780 thousand units for the period.

Honda’s automobile unit sales totaled 899 thousand units, an increase of 17.4% from the same period last year. In Japan, unit sales amounted to 145 thousand units, an increase of 13.3% from the same period last year, led by favorable sales of the Step WGN, CR-Z and FIT models. Unit sales outside of Japan increased 18.2% to 754 thousand units from the corresponding period last year, due mainly to increased unit sales in Asia and North America, more than offsetting decreased unit sales in Europe. Revenue from sales to external customers increased 19.0% to JPY 1,813.0 billion (USD 20,491 million) from the same period in 2009, due mainly to increased unit sales despite the unfavorable currency translation effects. Operating income was JPY 148.9 billion (USD 1,683 million), an increase of JPY 170.3 billion from the same period last year, due primarily to the positive impact of increased sales volume and model mix, reduction in vehicle costs as a result of increased production and continuing cost reduction efforts, despite increased SG&A expenses and R&D expenses and the unfavorable impact of currency effects.

 

* Certain sales of automobiles that are financed with residual value type auto loans by our domestic finance subsidiaries are accounted for as operating leases in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, they are not included in total sales of our automobile segment or in our measure of unit sales.

Revenue from customers in the financial services business decreased 4.1% to JPY 149.4 billion (USD 1,690 million) from the same period in 2009, due mainly to unfavorable currency translation effects. Operating income increased 16.6% to JPY 54.6 billion (USD 618 million) from the same period in 2009, due primarily to the decreased allowance for losses on credit and lease residual values, despite the unfavorable impact of currency effects.

In Japan, unit sales totaled 99 thousand units, an increase of 39.4% from the same period last year. Unit sales outside of Japan totaled 1,341 thousand units, an increase of 21.8% from the corresponding period last year, due to an increase of unit sales in all the regions.

From March 31, 2010, total assets decreased JPY 128.8 billion (USD 1,456 million), to JPY 11,500.2 billion (USD 129,976 million) at June 30, 2010, mainly due to the currency translation effects, which more than offset increased finance subsidiaries-receivables primarily due to the consolidation of former qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) utilized in legacy off-balance sheet securitizations until the year ended March 31, 2010. From March 31, 2010, total liabilities decreased by JPY 210.9 billion (USD 2,384 million), to JPY 6,961.7 billion (USD 78,681 million) at June 30, 2010, mainly due to the currency translation effects, which more than offset increased current liabilities primarily due to the consolidation of former qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) utilized in legacy off-balance sheet securitizations until the year ended March 31, 2010. From March 31, 2010, total equity increased JPY 82.1 billion (USD 928 million), to JPY 4,538.5 billion (USD 51,294 million).

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Fiscal First Quarter

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 176.2 billion (USD 1,992 million) of cash outflows.

Cash outflows from financing activities decreased by JPY 52.1 billion (USD 589 million) compared with the corresponding period in 2009, due mainly to an increase in short-term debt, which was partially offset by repayments of long-term debts, purchases of the Company’s own shares and an increase in dividends paid.

2. Accounting policies specifically applied for quarterly consolidated financial statements

(a) Income taxes

Honda computes interim income tax expense (benefit) by multiplying reasonably estimated annual effective tax rate, which includes the effects of deferred taxes, by year-to-date income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2010. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, Honda utilizes the actual year-to-date effective tax rate.

3. Changes in accounting procedures for consolidated quarterly financial results

(a) Transfers of Financial Assets, and Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

Honda adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and ASU 2009-17 “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities”, effective April 1, 2010. These standards amend the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, and ASC 810 “Consolidation”. ASU 2009-16 removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) and removes the exception from applying consolidation accounting standards to QSPEs. ASU 2009-17 requires reporting entities to evaluate former QSPEs for consolidation, changes the approach to determining a variable interest entity’s primary beneficiary from a mainly quantitative assessment to an exclusively qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.

Upon the adoption of these standards, former 10 QSPEs treated as legacy off-balance sheet prior to the year ended March 31, 2010 were consolidated by the Company as of April 1, 2010. As a result, previously derecognized assets held by former QSPEs including finance subsidiaries receivables of JPY 282,353 million and their related secured debt of JPY 274,329 million were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2010. The assets and liabilities associated with former legacy off-balance sheet securitizations including retained interests in securitizations and servicing assets were removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet from April 1, 2010. The cumulative effect adjustment upon the adoption of these standards increased the Company’s beginning retained earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2010 by JPY 1,432 million, net of tax effect.

Notes:

 

1 In this chart, “change” is calculated on the comparison with the same period of previous year.

 

2 Capital expenditures exclude purchase of operating lease assets and acquisition of intangible assets, and depreciation and amortization exclude depreciation of property on operating leases and amortization of intangible assets.

 

3 Unit sales are the total of sales of completed products of Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries, and sales of parts for local production at Honda’s affiliates accounted for under the equity method.

 

4 Of the net sales of Honda-brand motorcycle products that are manufactured and sold by overseas affiliates accounted for under the equity method, those with respect to which parts for manufacturing were not supplied from Honda or its subsidiaries are not included in net sales and other operating revenue, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these unit sales are not included in the financial results and forecasts.

 

5 Certain sales of automobiles that are financed with residual value type auto loans by our domestic finance subsidiaries are accounted for as operating leases in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, they are not included in total sales of our automobile segment or in our measure of unit sales.

 

6 Unit sales of Power product business include all trilateral trade transactions from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. This change was made and reported by retrospective application in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Honda adjusted unit sales of Power product business for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to conform to the presentation used for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

This announcement contains “forward-looking statements” of Honda. Such statements are based on management’s assumptions and beliefs taking into account information currently available to it. Therefore, please be advised that Honda’s actual results could differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including general economic conditions in Honda’s principal markets and foreign exchange rates between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other major currencies, as well as other factors detailed from time to time. The various factors for increases and decreases in income have been classified in accordance with a method that Honda considers reasonable.

Basis for Revision of Forecast for Financial Results of the Fiscal Half Ending September 30, 2010

Due mainly to changes in revenue, model mix, etc., a decrease in SG&A expenses and continuing cost reduction efforts, which more than offset unfavorable currency impact due to appreciation of the Japanese yen, consolidated operating income, and income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates are now expected to exceed the forecasts announced on April 28, 2010. On top of the factors that contributed to revision of income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliates, the Company has decreased a portion of unrecognized tax benefits related to transfer pricing matters of overseas transactions between the Company and foreign affiliates for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Due primarily to this accounting treatment, net income attributable to Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is now expected to exceed the forecast announced on April 28, 2010.
