PDF Version(126KB)
Tokyo, December 21, 2012 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today it has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the current fiscal year, which was previously announced on October 31, 2012, due to the expected impact of recording a reserve to pay refunds in relation to the company's electronic systems business, as announced separately today, as well as recent business performance and other factors.
Forecast for fiscal 2013 (April 1, 2012 - March 31, 2013)
Explanation of revised forecast
In view of China and other Asian markets experiencing economic slowdown, including stagnant demand for capital expenditures, as well as the impact of decreased production mainly by Japanese automotive-related manufacturers in China, Mitsubishi Electric's consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013 ending March 31, 2013 are expected to fall below previous forecasts, mainly in the company's Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments. Consolidated income before income taxes and net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is expected to fall below the previous forecast due to a decrease in operating income resulting from lower sales, the impact of recording a reserve for paying refunds related to electronic systems business and other factors.
