Explanation regarding proper use of business forecasts, and other significant matters

1.

    Regarding the assumptions for the forecasts and other matters, refer to [Qualitative Information and Financial Statements] Section 3 “Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecast” on page 4. The financial forecasts given above are based on information as available at the present time, and include potential risks and uncertainties. As a consequence of the factors above and other, actual results may vary from the forecasts provided above.

2.

    Makita’s basic policy on the distribution of profits is to maintain a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or greater, with a lower limit on annual cash dividends of 18 yen per share. However, in the event special circumstances arise, computation of the amount of dividends will be based on consolidated net income attributable to Makita Corporation after certain adjustments.

    The Board of Directors plans to meet in April 2013 for a report on earnings for the year ending March 31, 2013. At the time, in accordance with the basic policy regarding profit distribution mentioned above, the Board of Directors plans to propose a dividend equivalent to at least 30% of net income attributable to Makita Corporation. The Board of Directors will submit this proposal to the General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 2013.

    The consolidated dividend payout ratio is calculated as annual dividends per share divided by consolidated net income attributable to Makita Corporation per share (after adjustments for special circumstances) and multiplied by 100.

    [Qualitative Information and Financial Statements]

1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Operating Results

Looking at the global economic situation during the nine months (the “period”) ended December 31, 2012, the European economy continued to be sluggish, although it was out of the financial crisis in the region for the time being. However, the Russian economy remained relatively solid, though crude oil prices were on the decline. Meanwhile, in the United States, the economy showed signs of moderate recovery including an improvement in housing investment. In Asia, Chinese economic growth lost steam and economic expansion remained moderate in Southeast Asia due to weak exports. In Japan, there were some signs of recovery in housing investment, in addition to demand for reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake, though the overall economy was still stagnant.

Our consolidated net sales for this period increased by 1.2% to 226,280 million yen. This was because sales were generally solid in Japan and overseas, although the yen became stronger against the euro compared to the same period in the previous year, resulting in the drop in net sales when translated into the yen. As for incomes, our operating income decreased by 10.4% compared to the same period in the previous year to 34,546 million yen (operating income ratio 15.3%) mainly due to the rises in the ratio of cost of sales from 60.5% for the same period of the previous year to 62.6% for this period by 2.1 points as a result of the decline in capacity utilization at the plants. On the other hand, non-operating losses decreased by 1,886 million yen compared to the same period in the previous year due to the decrease in “Exchange losses on foreign currency transactions” and “Realized losses on securities”. Meanwhile, income before income taxes showed a decrease of 5.9% compared to the same period in the previous year to 33,887 million yen (income before income taxes ratio 15.0%) and net income attributable to Makita Corporation decreased only by 4.8% compared to the same period in the previous year to 23,534 million yen (net income attributable to Makita Corporation ratio 10.4%).

Net sales by region are as follows:

Net sales in Japan increased by 7.1% to 41,271 million yen compared to the same period in the previous year. This was because sales continued to grow steadily thanks to expanded product lineup of lithium-ion battery products, mainly impact drivers.

Net sales in Europe decreased by 2.5% to 91,331 million yen. This was due to sales in Western Europe were sluggish because of the effects of the financial uncertainty and a sharp appreciation of the yen against the euro compared to the same period in the previous year, though sales to Russia continued strong growth.

Net sales in North America increased by 6.3% to 29,965 million yen because sales for the Christmas season were steady and the yen’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar.

Net sales in Asia increased by 8.2% to 21,445 million yen because demands were strong in Southeast Asian countries.

Sales situation in the other regions are as follows: Net sales in Central and South America decreased by 6.1% compared to the same period in the previous year to 17,020 million yen, due to the effects of local currencies depreciation despite of a recovery in demand; Net sales in Oceania dropped by 2.7% compared to the same period in the previous year to 13,661 million yen because demand was on the wane. Meanwhile, net sales in the Middle East and Africa increased only by 2.6% compared to the same period in the previous year to 11,587 million yen, because economic activities stagnated due to political uncertainty.

2. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Position

Total assets as of December 31, 2012 increased by 22,296 million yen to 405,552 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012. The increase was mainly due to the increase in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Short-term investments”.

Total liabilities as of December 31, 2012 decreased by 3,323 million yen to 56,155 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in “Trade notes and accounts payable” resulting from decrease of purchase and in “Income taxes payable” resulting from payment of tax.

Total equity as of December 31, 2012 increased by 25,619 million yen to 349,397 million yen compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to the increase in “Retained earnings”.

3. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance Forecast

The consolidated financial forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2013 have been revised, because consolidated financial results for the first nine-month period of the fiscal 2013 (from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013) exceeded the initial forecasts besides the yen has been weaker against the euro and the U.S. dollar, though business conditions continue to be tough in the fourth quarter.

(Reference) Our previous exchange rates that we announced on October 31, 2012 were 78 yen to the U.S. dollar and 99 yen to the euro for the year ending March 31, 2013.

The above forecast is based on information as available at the present time, and includes potential risks and uncertainties. As a consequence of the factors above and other, actual results may vary from the forecast provided above.

4. Other

(1)

Changes in important subsidiaries during the period (Changes in specified subsidiaries accompanied by changes in scope of consolidation during the quarter): None

 

(2)

Adoption of simplified accounting methods and accounting methods that are specific to the preparation of quarterly consolidated financial statements:

With regard to the income tax expenses, Makita computes interim income tax expense by multiplying reasonably estimated annual effective tax rate, which includes the effects of deferred taxes, by year-to-date income before income taxes for the reporting period.

 

(3)

Changes in accounting principles, procedures and presentations:

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Makita adopted ASU 2011-05 since the first quarter of this fiscal year began April 1, 2012. This adoption did not have an impact on Makita’s financial position and results of operations.
