Panasonic Corporation1
(Panasonic)(NYSE:PC) today reported its consolidated financial
results for the year ended March 31, 2009 (fiscal 2009).
1 As of October 1, 2008, the company changed its name from
�Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.� to �Panasonic
Corporation.�
Consolidated
Results
Consolidated group sales for fiscal
2009 decreased 14% to 7,765.5 billion yen, from 9,068.9 billion yen
in the previous fiscal year. Of the consolidated group total,
domestic sales amounted to 4,082.2 billion yen, down 10% from
4,544.8 billion yen a year ago. Overseas sales decreased 19% to
3,683.3 billion yen, from 4,524.1 billion yen in fiscal 2008, ended
March 31, 2008.
During the year under review, the
current financial crisis, which originated in the United States,
spread across the world and the company�s outlook of the business
environment was extremely uncertain. The company�s business
conditions worsened considerably from last October, due mainly to
the sharp appreciation of the yen, rapidly shrinking demand
worldwide and ever-intensified price competition. Under these
severe circumstances, in an attempt to get out of this difficult
situation and get growth back on its original track, Panasonic
implemented initiatives for achieving further progress and
strengthening management structure. In particular, the company
accelerated the business restructuring initiatives on the basis of
business selection and concentration such as integration and
closure of manufacturing sites, from the view point of global
optimal production, withdrawal from unprofitable businesses, and
reassigning and downsizing of workforce.
Regarding earnings, operating profit2
for this fiscal year was down 86%, to 72.9 billion yen, from 519.5
billion yen in the previous year. Although the company implemented
thorough streamlining of material and fixed costs, this result was
due mainly to the effect of a sharp sales decline, rising prices
for crude oil and other raw materials, and ever-intensified global
price competition. In other income (deductions), the company
incurred 367.4 billion yen as business restructuring expenses and
92.0 billion yen as a write-down of investment securities. As a
result of these and other factors, the company regrettably incurred
a pre-tax loss of 382.6 billion yen. Accordingly, net income turned
to a loss of 379.0 billion yen.
2 For information about operating profit, see Note 2 of the
Notes to consolidated financial statements on page 14.
Consolidated Sales Breakdown
by Product Category
The company�s annual consolidated
sales by product category, as compared with prior year amounts, are
summarized as follows:
Digital AVC Networks3
Digital AVC Networks sales decreased
13% to 3,492.0 billion yen, from 4,001.8 billion yen in the
previous year. Sales of video and audio equipment decreased 6% from
the previous year, due mainly to sluggish sales in digital AV
products such as plasma TVs and digital cameras. In information and
communications equipment, weak sales of automotive electronics led
to a 19% decrease overall from a year ago.
3 From fiscal 2009, the name of �AVC Networks� was changed to
�Digital AVC Networks.�
Home Appliances
Sales of Home Appliances decreased 9%
to 1,166.3 billion yen, compared with 1,283.0 billion yen in the
previous year, due mainly to a sales decline of air conditioners
and compressors.
PEW and PanaHome4
Sales of PEW and PanaHome decreased 9%
to 1,581.2 billion yen, from 1,730.7 billion yen a year ago. At
Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (PEW)5 and its subsidiaries,
sales decreased mainly in electronic materials, automation controls
and health-enhancing products. At PanaHome Corporation and its
subsidiaries, a rapid deterioration of housing market conditions
after September 2008 led to a decrease in sales.
4 The name of �MEW and PanaHome� was changed to �PEW and
PanaHome� as of October 1, 2008.
5 The name of Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd. (MEW) was changed
to Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (PEW) as of October 1,
2008.
Components and Devices
Sales of Components and Devices were
also down 21% to 907.6 billion yen, compared with 1,150.3 billion
yen in the previous year, due mainly to a sales downturn of
semiconductors and general electronic components.
Other
Sales of Other totaled 618.4 billion
yen, down 14 % from 722.6 billion yen in the same period a year
ago, due mainly to weak sales in factory automation equipment.
Consolidated Financial
Condition
Net cash provided by operating
activities in fiscal 2009 amounted to 116.6 billion yen. This was
attributable primarily to depreciation and a decrease in trade
receivables, despite a net loss and a decrease in trade payables.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 469.4 billion
yen. Despite having proceeds from disposition of investments and
advances, this was due primarily to capital expenditures for
tangible fixed assets of 521.6 billion yen, mainly consisting of
manufacturing facilities for priority business areas such as plasma
and liquid crystal display panels, and semiconductors. Net cash
provided by financing activities was 148.7 billion yen, due mainly
to an increase in long-term debt by issuing unsecured straight
bonds, despite repurchase of the company�s common stock and the
payment of cash dividends. All these activities, as well as a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of 36.8 billion yen
associated with the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, resulted
in cash and cash equivalents of 973.9 billion yen at the end of
fiscal 2009, down 240.9 billion yen, compared with the end of the
last fiscal year.
The company�s consolidated total
assets as of March 31, 2009 decreased 1,040.3 billion yen to
6,403.3 billion yen, compared with 7,443.6 billion yen at the end
of the last fiscal year (March 31, 2008). This was due mainly to a
decrease on trade receivables and a reduction of inventories
affected by deteriorated market conditions, and a decrease in
investments and advances affected by a decline of stock price.
Stockholders� equity decreased 958.3 billion yen, compared with the
end of the last fiscal year, to 2,784.0 billion yen as of March 31,
2009. This result was due primarily to decreases in retained
earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income.
Year-end
Dividend
The company paid an interim dividend
of �22.5 per share on November�28, 2008. However, the company
regrettably plans to pay a year-end dividend of �7.5 per share, due
mainly to the deterioration of consolidated financial results,
making a total annual cash dividend of �30 per share.
Outlook for Fiscal
2010
Regarding the business environment for
fiscal 2010 ending March 31, 2010, the company currently expects to
encounter severe conditions because two trends are developing
simultaneously. One is the world recession and shrinking demand,
and the other is the changes in market structure such as the
expanding emerging markets and a demand shift to lower-priced
products. Under these environments, the company will rebuild its
management structure thoroughly, as well as make preparations for
the next phase of development and growth simultaneously, aiming to
be in a strong position when the market recovers. Although the
management environment of the final year of the GP3 plan will be
different from the conditions that we previously expected, the
company will not change the direction of the GP3 plan. The company
currently expects fiscal 2010 sales on a consolidated basis to
total 7,000 billion yen, a decrease of 10% from the previous fiscal
year. Consolidated operating profit is forecast to increase by 3%
to 75 billion yen. Consolidated loss before income taxes6 is
anticipated to be 95 billion yen, with net loss attributable to the
company7 expected to be 195 billion 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.

6 Factors affecting the forecast for other income (deductions)
of 170 billion yen (the difference between operating profit and
income before income taxes) include business restructuring expenses
of 88 billion yen.
7 From fiscal 2010 onwards, in accordance with SFAS No.160, the
term �net income (loss)� will change to �net income (loss)
attributable to the company.�

Management Policy
(1) Basic Policy for Corporate Management
Since its establishment, Panasonic has
operated its businesses under its basic management philosophy,
which sets forth that the mission of a business enterprise is to
contribute to the progress and development of society and the
well-being of people through its business activities, thereby
enhancing the quality of life throughout the world. Aiming to grow
further to become a global excellent company, Panasonic will work
to deliver sustained growth in corporate value to satisfy its
shareholders, investors, customers, business partners and all other
stakeholders.
(2) Basic Policy for Providing Return to Shareholders
Since its establishment, Panasonic has
managed its businesses under the concept that returning profits to
shareholders is one of its most important policies. Along with the
implementation of mid-term growth strategies since fiscal 2005, the
company has implemented a proactive and comprehensive profit return
to shareholders through dividend payments and own share
repurchases, upon careful consideration of its consolidated
business performance.
From the perspective of return on the
capital investment made by shareholders, Panasonic, in principle,
distributes profits to shareholders based on its business
performance and is aiming for stable and continuous growth in
dividends, targeting a dividend payout ratio of between 30% and 40%
with respect to consolidated net income. Regarding share buybacks,
the company is repurchasing its own shares as it considers
appropriate, taking comprehensively into consideration strategic
investments and the company�s financial condition, with the aim of
increasing shareholder value per share and return on capital.
The company paid an interim dividend
of �22.5 per share on November�28, 2008. However, the company
regrettably plans to pay a year-end dividend of �7.5 per share, due
mainly to the deterioration of consolidated financial results,
making a total annual cash dividend of �30 per share. For fiscal
2010, ending March 31, 2010, Panasonic plans to pay an interim cash
dividend of �5 per share, a decrease from �22.5 per share in fiscal
2009. The company also plans to pay a year-end cash dividend of �5
per share, a decrease from �7.5 per share in fiscal 2009. If
implemented, total cash dividends for fiscal 2010 will be �10 per
share. Meanwhile, the company repurchased some of its own shares at
a cost of approximately �70 billion in fiscal 2009. Although
Panasonic expects severe business conditions to continue, the
company will strive to improve its performance as soon as possible
and distribute earnings to shareholders.
(3) Corporate Management Strategies and Challenges
Panasonic expects that the economic
environment in fiscal 2010 will be more severe than the past fiscal
year, as the global recession and shrinking demand triggered by the
financial crisis coincide with changes in market structure,
including the expansion of emerging markets and a shift to
lower-priced products. Responding to these business conditions, the
company will simultaneously rebuild its management structure while
preparing and taking action for future growth. Fiscal 2010 is the
final year of the GP3 plan and although the current business
environment is significantly different from the plan�s initial
assumptions, Panasonic will continue to push ahead with initiatives
set forth in the GP3 plan without changing it, and aims to ready
itself to leap ahead when the market recovers.
In order to rebuild its management
structure, Panasonic will implement drastic business structural
reforms. Guided by the policies of selection and concentration and
the strategic placement of overseas sites, Panasonic will strive
for new growth by clarifying which businesses to withdraw from and
shifting resources to growing businesses based on the results of
its examinations. Furthermore, the company will ensure �Itakona�
becomes standard practice and accelerate initiatives to reduce
procurement costs. It will also step up actions including
implementing comprehensive cost rationalization efforts, curbing
capital expenditures and reducing inventories.
Regarding preparations and actions for
future growth, the cornerstone is strengthening products. The
company�s approach is to create products that are unique to
Panasonic, products that link well with one another, have superior
energy-efficiency and are based on universal design concepts. These
products will incorporate its customer�s viewpoint, as well as
excel in terms of safety, quality and environmental performance. On
top of that, Panasonic will push steadily ahead with the four major
themes of the GP3 plan: double-digit growth for overseas sales,
four strategic businesses, manufacturing innovation and the eco
ideas strategy.
In the digital AV business, one of the
four strategic businesses, Panasonic has decided to reduce major
capital investment for the 5th domestic PDP plant in Amagasaki and
the IPS Alpha plant in Himeji, because of lower growth in the
flat-panel TV markets caused by the economic recession. However,
the company aims to outgrow its competitors by strengthening
product development to maintain growth momentum in its flat-panel
TV business.
In addition to these activities,
Panasonic will start operating the New Business Promotion Support
System in fiscal 2010. The Head Office will assist in creating new
businesses by providing financial, technical and personnel
assistance when the priority projects of business domain companies
and company-wide common projects are launched commercially.
Regarding the capital and business
alliance with SANYO, a Collaboration Committee, which was set up to
form a close alliance after completing the TOB, is looking at
wide-ranging themes, while giving sufficient consideration to
competition laws. Panasonic has positioned the energy business as a
business field with extremely high growth potential. Therefore,
Panasonic intends to broaden this business as its fifth strategic
business to drive the company�s future growth.
