Tokyo, January 31, 2012 — Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal third quarter and the fiscal nine month period ended December 31, 2011.

Third Quarter Results

Consolidated net sales and other operating revenue (herein referred to as “revenue”) for the quarter amounted to JPY 1,942.5 billion (USD 24,988 million), a decrease of 8.0% from the same period last year, due primarily to decreased revenue in the automobile business due to the supply chain disruption mainly caused by Thailand flood and the unfavorable foreign currency translation effects, despite increased revenue in the motorcycle business.

Consolidated operating income for the quarter amounted to JPY 44.2 billion (USD 570 million), a decrease of 64.7% from the same period last year, due primarily to a decrease in sales volume and model mix, an increase in fixed costs per unit as production volume decreased, the impact of raw material price increases and the unfavorable foreign currency effect.

Equity in income of affiliates amounted to JPY 22.9 billion (USD 295 million) for the quarter, a decrease of 47.3% from the corresponding period last year due mainly to declined income in affiliated companies in China due to decreased sales and production caused by supply-chain disruption after the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011 (the “Earthquake”).

[7] Income Taxes

On November 30, 2011, the National Diet of Japan approved the laws for amendments to previous income tax laws.

Upon the change in the laws, the statutory income tax rate in Japan will be changed to approximately 38% for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012, and to approximately 35% for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2015. Thus, the Company and its Japanese consolidated subsidiaries measured deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the tax rates to be applied in the fiscal years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

As a result, net of deferred tax assets decreased JPY 16,072 million as of December 31, 2011, and income tax expenses increased JPY 16,072 million for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Due primarily to the impact of this tax rate change, the effective tax rates of Honda for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011 differ from Japanese (or the Company’s) statutory income tax rate, which is 40% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

[8] Other

1.Out-of-period adjustments

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, certain overstatements were found in trade accounts and notes receivable, inventories, net sales and other operating revenue, and cost of sales in previously issued consolidated financial statements, pertaining to the Company’s inventory management trading activities at a domestic subsidiary. This domestic subsidiary temporarily purchases sea food products from seafood companies with the promise that they will buy back such products after certain period, in order to bridge the gap between the purchasing period (the fishing season) and the sales period for sea food products. In the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company adjusted net sales and other operating revenue amounted to JPY 9,888 million and operating income amounted to JPY 280 million overstated in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2010, in conjunction with the related cumulative loss amounted to JPY 14,123 million as of March 31, 2010. As a result, operating income for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2010, decreased by JPY 14,403 million and 14,123 million, respectively. Honda believes that these adjustments are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations in prior periods.

2. Impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations of the flood in Thailand.

Since October 2011, Thailand suffered from severe floods, which caused damage to inventories, and machineries and equipments of certain consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Accordingly, production activities in plant facilities at Honda and its affiliates have been affected by floods.

As a result, Honda recognized JPY 17,348 million of costs and expenses, of which JPY 9,387 million is included in cost of sales and JPY 7,961 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the period ended December 31, 2011. These costs and expenses mainly consist of loss on inventories of JPY 7,330 million which are included in cost of sales, and loss on damaged property, plant and equipment of JPY 7,654 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

In addition, Honda recognized insurance recoveries of JPY 11,838 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the period ended December 31, 2011. The recognized insurance recovery is limited to the amount of the related incurred losses and Honda will recognize insurance recoveries in excess of the incurred losses when final settlements with insurance companies are reached.

Reason for Revision of Forecasts

The Company previously announced that the forecasts for the consolidated and unconsolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 had been revised as “not determined” due to the impact of flood damage in Thailand. However, as it has become possible to make a reasonable estimation based on information available at the current time, the Company hereby announces its forecasts for the consolidated and unconsolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, as above.

 

* These “forward-looking statements” of Honda are based on management’s assumptions and beliefs taking into account information currently available to it. Therefore, please be advised that Honda’s actual results could differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including general economic conditions in Honda’s principal markets and foreign exchange rates between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other major currencies, as well as other factors detailed from time to time.

Ninth Notice Concerning Impact of Thai Floods

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) today announced an update on the current status of Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (headquarter at Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand), Honda’s Thai automobile production facility which suffered flood damage, as well as Honda’s group companies in Asian countries in the vicinity.

 

1. Thai Automobile Production Facilities

The plant of Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has suspended operations since October 4, 2011, but water removal work begun at the end of November has been completed, and currently restoration of the plant building and manufacturing equipment is being carried out and it is scheduled to resume production at the end of March.

 

2. Production in Asian Countries in the Vicinity of Thailand

Production facilities in Asian countries in the vicinity of Thailand, which have been suspending production or carrying out production adjustment due to the impact of disruptions to parts supply from Thailand, are gradually resuming production activities, and the outlook is for all such production facilities to return to normal levels of production by April.

 

3. Future Measures

In addition to periodically performing fixed point observations of the waterline, Honda will coordinate with Rojana Industrial Park and plans to implement measures such as installing bulkheads along the plant periphery. Together with this, Honda may also make requests for flood risk mitigation and other necessary measures to the Thai government and Rojana Industrial Park.

In addition, based on this experience, Honda will also make efforts towards risk mitigation by coordinating with suppliers in regards to the supply chain issues that became apparent during this flood disaster.

 

4. Impact on Financial Results

For details of the impact of these floods on the Company and Honda’s group companies, please refer to “[8] Other, 2. Impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations of the flood in Thailand” in the notes to the “Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Third Quarter and the Fiscal Nine-Month Period Ended December 31, 2011” released today.
