Accompanying Information

1. BUSINESS RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PROSPECTS

(1) Business Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Consolidated Financial Results

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 (“the first quarter”), sales in the Industrial & Automotive Components Group, Semiconductor Components Group and Electronic Devices Group expanded due to an increase in demand for components used in automotive-related markets, communications infrastructure and smartphones. Sales in the Documents Solutions Group also increased on the back of investment in new products and aggressive sales promotion activities. As a result, consolidated net sales for the first quarter increased by ¥25,177 million, or 7.9%, to ¥345,162 million, compared with consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (“the previous first quarter”).

Profits increased significantly due to the increase in sales and cost reductions. Profit from operations increased by ¥18,897 million, or 154.0%, to ¥31,167 million, income before income taxes increased by ¥24,462 million, or 98.6%, to ¥49,260 million, and net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera Corporation increased by ¥17,528 million, or 100.4%, to ¥34,981 million, compared with the previous first quarter.

Average exchange rates for the first quarter were ¥111 to the U.S. dollar, marking depreciation by ¥3 (2.8%) from the previous first quarter and ¥122 to the Euro, unchanged year on year.

Consolidated Results by Reporting Segment

1) Industrial & Automotive Components Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous first quarter due primarily to an increase in sales of automotive products in the display business and to sales expansion in the cutting tool business. Operating profit increased significantly due to sales growth and cost reductions.

2) Semiconductor Components Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous first quarter due primarily to an increase in sales of ceramic packages for optical communications in line with expanding demand for large-capacity, high data speed communications. Operating profit increased significantly due to the increase in sales of ceramic packages and cost reductions.

3) Electronic Devices Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous first quarter due to brisk demand for capacitors and crystal components for smartphones and an increase in sales of printing devices for industrial equipment. Operating profit increased due to the increase in sales.

4) Communications Group

Sales of the information and communications services business, which provides ICT solutions, etc. increased compared with the previous first quarter. On the other hand, sales of the telecommunications equipment business decreased due to a decline in sales volume of low-end mobile phones for overseas market, which was more than enough to offset an increase in sales in Japan. As a result, sales in this reporting segment as a whole decreased compared with the previous first quarter. Operating profit increased, however, due to an increase in sales in Japan in the telecommunications equipment business and to sales expansion in the information and communications services business.

5) Document Solutions Group

Sales in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous first quarter due primarily to an increase in sales volume on the back of launching of new products, aggressive sales promotion activities and the contribution of sales from a consolidated subsidiary, which joined the Kyocera Group in December 2016. Operating profit increased significantly due to the sales growth and cost reductions.

6) Life & Environment Group

Sales in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous first quarter due to downsizing of the solar energy business in the United States, while operating loss was reduced due to cost reductions.

(2) Financial Condition

Consolidated Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 decreased by ¥1,554 million to ¥374,641 million from ¥376,195 million at March 31, 2017.

1) Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter increased by ¥22,176 million to ¥59,635 million from ¥37,459 million for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to an increase in net income.

2) Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter increased by ¥16,879 million to ¥41,315 million from ¥24,436 million for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to a decrease in proceeds from maturities of securities, which exceeded decreases in payments for purchases of securities and acquisitions of businesses.

3) Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter decreased by ¥2,336 million to ¥22,375 million from ¥24,711 million for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to decreases in payments of short-term and long-term debts in spite of an increase in year-end dividends paid.
