TDK Corporation Consolidated 1Q of FY March 2009(U.S. GAAP)
[Summary Information and Financial Statements]
1. Summary Information Regarding Consolidated Business Results
Consolidated results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the three-month period from April 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008, were as follows:
The first quarter of fiscal 2009 in the electronics market, which has a large bearing on the TDK Group’s performance, saw a year-on-year rise in production of flat-screen TVs, home game consoles, notebook PCs, HDDs and mobile phones, in particular. On the other hand, however, demand for high-performance models of these products, particularly in industrialized nations, tapered off. Because these high-performance models drive electronic component demand, there was soft demand for electronic components. This in turn also led to further erosion in prices for electronic components.
TDK posted consolidated net sales of ¥190,623 million (U.S.$1,798,330 thousand), down 7.8% year on year from ¥206,699 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Operating income declined 66.6% from ¥16,129 million to ¥5,393 million (U.S.$50,877 thousand). Income before income taxes declined 72.4% from ¥20,181 million to ¥5,577 million (U.S.$52,613 thousand). Net income declined 72.3% from ¥16,022 million to ¥4,446 million (U.S.$41,943 thousand). Basic net income per common share was ¥34.48 (U.S.$0.33), compared with ¥122.07 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Average first-quarter yen exchange rates for the U.S. dollar and euro were ¥104.56 and ¥163.44, respectively, as the yen appreciated 13.5% versus the U.S. dollar and depreciated 0.4% against the euro, compared with the first quarter (April 1 to June 30) of the previous fiscal year. This lowered net sales by approximately ¥21.5 billion and operating income by approximately ¥6.6 billion.
(Sales by Sector)
TDK’s net sales are made up of four product sectors: (1) electronic materials, (2) electronic devices, (3) recording devices, and (4) others. Recording media sales have dropped sharply due to the August 2007 transfer of the TDK brand recording media sales business. Because recording media sales accounted for less than 10% of total net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, these sales were included in the “others” sector. Sector sales were as follows.
(1)Electronic materials
This sector is broken down into two product categories: capacitors, and ferrite cores and magnets.
Sales in the electronic materials sector dropped 8.1% from ¥49,703 million to ¥45,671 million (U.S.$430,859 thousand).
[Capacitors] Sales decreased year on year. This reflected the impact of lower prices for multilayer ceramic chip capacitors, the main product in the capacitors category, particularly for use in PCs, flat-screen TVs and home game consoles. The yen’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar was another factor.
[Ferrite cores and magnets] Sales of ferrite cores and magnets rose slightly year on year, with higher magnet sales outweighing lower ferrite core sales.

TDK Corporation Consolidated 1Q of FY March 2009(U.S. GAAP)
(2)Electronic devices
This sector has three product categories: inductive devices, high-frequency components and other products.
Sales in the electronic devices sector declined 2.6% from ¥49,981 million to ¥48,675 million (U.S.$459,198 thousand).
[Inductive devices] Sales of inductive devices were flat year on year, with higher sales of power line coils for flat-screen TVs and common-mode filters for the auto market, offsetting lower chip bead sales.
[High-frequency components] Sales of high-frequency components increased year on year, the result mainly of higher sales for PC applications.
[Other products] Sales of other products were down year on year, with higher sensor and actuator sales unable to fully compensate for lower power supply sales due to the termination of some products.
(3)Recording devices
This sector has two product categories: HDD heads and other.
Sector sales increased 2.9% from ¥70,416 million to ¥72,445 million (U.S.$683,443 thousand).
[HDD heads] Sales decreased year on year. While the TDK Group’s HDD head sales volume increased on the back of higher demand for HDD heads in line with rising HDD unit production, overall sales were brought down by the impact of price decreases and the yen’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar.
[Other] Category sales increased year on year, mainly reflecting the fact that sales of a HDD suspension assembly business that was made a subsidiary in November 2007 contributed to first-quarter results for the first time.
(4)Others
This sector includes all products of TDK those in the three sectors above. The main products in the others sector are recording media, anechoic chambers, mechatronics (production equipment) and energy devices (rechargeable batteries).
Sector sales declined 34.9% from ¥36,599 million to ¥23,832 million (U.S.$224,830 thousand). Anechoic chambers, energy devices and other new products recorded higher year-on-year sales. However, recording media sales fell.
(Sales by Region)
Detailed sales by region can be found in the segment information on page 10.
[Japan] Overall sales fell, with sales declining in all four sectors of TDK.
[Americas] Overall sales declined, with sales decreasing in all product sectors except recording devices.
[Europe] Sales declined due mainly to lower sales in the recording devices and others.
[Asia (excluding Japan) and other areas] Sales decreased overall due mainly to lower sales in the electronic materials and recording devices sectors.
As a result, overseas sales declined 5.7% from ¥167,756 million to ¥158,158 million (U.S.$1,492,057 thousand). Overseas sales accounted for 83.0% of consolidated net sales, a 1.8 percentage point increase from 81.2% one year earlier.

(Notes)
TDK has revised its projections for the first half of fiscal 2009, based on actual results for the first quarter and second-quarter projections. However, there has been no change to second-half projections because of an uncertain outlook for the operating environment.
(Projections for main products are as follows:)
Electronic Materials and Electronic Devices
It is extremely difficult to forecast demand for finished products and electronic components used in them due to the effects of persistently high resource prices and crude oil as well as fears of an economic standstill in the U.S. However, TDK’s sales plan for electronic materials and electronic devices is based on a year-on-year positive demand growth forecast for key finished products such as mobile phones, PCs and flat-screen TVs, which drive the consumer electronics market.

TDK Corporation Consolidated 1Q of FY March 2009(U.S. GAAP)
Recording Devices
Firm growth is forecast for HDD demand also in fiscal 2009. Demand for HDD heads is forecast based on the assumption of strong projected growth in demand for 2.5-inch HDDs for notebook PCs in particular.
(Exchange Rate Forecast)
An average yen-U.S. dollar exchange rate of ¥100 is assumed from the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

4. Others
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. TDK adopted SFAS 157 on April 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 has no material effect on TDK’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

8) Segment Information
1. Industry segment information
    Recording media sales have dropped sharply due to the August 2007 transfer of the TDK brand recording media sales business and as a result these sales now account for less than 10% of total net sales. Because the electronic materials and components segment accounted for more than 90% of total net sales and operating income, segment information has been omitted.
