Qualitative Information and Financial Statements

 

1. Analysis of Business Results

<1> Overview of the first half of the fiscal year and outlook for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2008

During the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, the global economy experienced continuous moderate growth, with sustained high growth in China, despite a slowing economy, mainly in the housing sector due to the impact of the battered financial markets resulting from the subprime mortgage issue in the U.S.

The Japanese economy also enjoyed continuous moderate growth, despite a slowdown in capital expenditures and sluggish consumer spending.

For the first half, NEC recorded consolidated sales of 2,140.6 billion yen, a decrease of 81.0 billion yen (3.6%) year on year. Despite good sales in the area of Network Systems, this was primarily due to the sale of the personal computer (PC) business in Europe in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year and the transfer of the sales operation of optical disc drives.

Regarding profitability, operating income rose by 19.9 billion yen (265.6%) year on year, to 27.4 billion yen. This can be attributed to a recovery in profitability in the Mobile/Personal Solutions business and the Electron Devices business owing to measures to improve business performance, despite a decrease in income in the IT/Network Solutions business resulting from a fall in sales in the area of IT Platforms and a change in the product mix in the area of Network Systems. Ordinary income improved by 21.6 billion yen year on year, bringing profit to 9.8 billion yen.

NEC recorded income before income taxes and minority interests of 9.5 billion yen, an increase of 7.9 billion yen year on year. This was due to an improvement in ordinary income, despite a worsening of 13.7 billion yen in special gain (loss) owing to decreases in gain on sale of investment securities and gain on change in interests in consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies. Despite an improvement of 5.2 billion yen year on year in net income, NEC recorded a net loss of 4.7 billion yen.

There is no change to the full year financial target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 disclosed on July 31, 2007 due to uncertainty over global market environments and future currency movements.

NEC was requested to complete revenue recognition analysis of maintenance support services included in multiple-element contracts by its independent auditor with regard to its annual report on Form 20-F to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (“2006 Form 20-F”). This revenue recognition analysis was required based on U.S. GAAP under the auditing standard of the U.S. Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board. In September 2007, NEC announced that it is unable to complete the analysis and accordingly cannot file the 2006 Form 20-F with the SEC. NEC also announced that its U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements previously filed with or submitted to the SEC for all financial periods for fiscal years ended on and after March 31, 2000 should no longer be relied upon and that it had concluded that a restatement would not be practicable due to the complexities involved in determining the adjustments required to restate its U.S. GAAP results. Subsequent to this announcement, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC delisted NEC’s ADRs.


(2) Results by business segments (including inter-segment transactions and profit/loss figures)

Sales and operating income of NEC’s main segments were as follows (figures in brackets denote increases or decreases as compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year):

Total

   1,274.1    1,264.5    +0.8
              

Sales of the IT/Network Solutions business for the six months ended September 30, 2007 amounted to 1,274.1 billion yen, an increase of 9.7 billion yen (0.8%) year on year.

Sales by products and services were as follows:

The area of IT Services/System Integration recorded sales of 364.8 billion yen, an increase of 6.1% year on year, due to a steady increase in sales in most sectors. In addition, in the area of Network Systems, sales increased by 6.0% year on year, to 514.3 billion yen. This was mainly due to good sales of ultra-compact, point-to-point microwave communication systems, Pasolink, to telecom carriers overseas and submarine cable networks. Furthermore, there was a 12% increase year on year in sales in the area of Social Infrastructure, to 137.6 billion yen. On the other hand, in the area of IT Platforms, sales fell by 17.6% year on year, to 257.4 billion yen, mainly as a result of the effects of the transfer of the sales operation of optical disc drives and large server projects in the first half of the previous fiscal year.

Operating income decreased by 20.4 billion yen (36.7%) year on year, to 35.2 billion yen. Despite an improvement in profitability in the area of IT Services/System Integration, this was primarily due to a decrease in sales in the area of IT Platforms and a change in the product mix in the area of Network Systems.

Mobile/Personal Solutions Business

 

Sales:

   411.7 billion yen    (-17.5%)

Operating income:

   8.1 billion yen    (Improvement of 45.4 billion yen)

Sales of the Mobile/Personal Solutions business for the six months ended September 30, 2007 were 411.7 billion yen, a decrease of 87.3 billion yen (17.5%) year on year.

Sales by products and services were as follows:

In the area of Mobile Terminals, sales were 150.4 billion yen, a decrease of 7.8% year on year, mainly due to the streamlining of overseas mobile handset business. In the area of Personal Solutions, sales fell by 22.3% year on year, to 261.3 billion yen. This was mainly due to the sale of the PC business in Europe.

Operating income improved by 45.4 billion yen year on year, to 8.1 billion yen. This was due to the completion of structural reform of overseas mobile handset business and to increased development efficiencies in the area of Mobile Terminals.

Electron Devices Business

 

Sales:

   420.6 billion yen    (-1.5%)

Operating income:

   1.4 billion yen    (Improvement of 5.6 billion yen)

Sales of the Electron Devices business for the six months ended September 30, 2007 amounted to 420.6 billion yen, a decrease of 6.4 billion yen (1.5%) year on year.

Sales by products and services were as follows:

In the area of Semiconductors, sales increased 2.3% year on year, to 351.0 billion yen, owing mainly to an increase in sales of semiconductors for game consoles and digital televisions. In the area of Electronic Components and Others, sales totaled 69.6 billion yen, a decrease of 17.1% year on year. This was due to a decrease in sales of electronics components and small-sized liquid crystal displays.

Operating income improved by 5.6 billion yen year on year, to 1.4 billion yen. This was mainly due to a reduction in research and development expenses and benefits from a weaker yen, in addition to an increase in sales in the area of Semiconductors.

Note

The results for the area of Semiconductors are the official public figures of NEC Electronics Corporation, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The difference that arises as a result of the adjustment to Japan GAAP is included in Electronic Components and Others.


2. Analysis of Financial Condition

<1> Analysis of condition of assets, liabilities, net assets, and cash flow

Total assets at the end of the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 were 3,598.5 billion yen, a 133.2 billion yen decrease as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. Current assets decreased by 125.8 billion yen, mainly due to the collection of notes and accounts receivable, trade. Fixed assets fell by 7.4 billion yen, primarily as a result of a decrease in tangible fixed assets.

Total liabilities at the end of the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 were 2,380.5 billion yen, a decrease of 111.1 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly as a result of the payment of notes and accounts payable, trade. However, the balance of interest-bearing debt increased by 11.0 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, to 870.3 billion yen. Debt-equity ratio was 0.85 (a worsening of 0.02 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year). The balance of interest-bearing debt (net), obtained by offsetting the balance of interest-bearing debt with the balance of cash and cash equivalents, amounted to 466.6 billion yen, an increase of 30.7 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. Net debt-equity ratio was 0.46 (a worsening of 0.04 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year).

Total net assets at the end of the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 were 1,218.0 billion yen, a decrease of 22.1 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. As a result, owner’s equity ratio was 28.4% (an improvement of 0.6 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year).

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 was 60.7 billion yen, a decrease of 45.4 billion yen year on year, mainly due to an increase in operating capital.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 was 74.8 billion yen, an increase of 9.8 billion yen year on year. This was mainly due to an increase in cash used relating to capital expenditures and a decrease in gain on sale of investment securities, despite gain provided by the transfer of business. As a result, free cash flows (the sum of cash flows from operating activities and investing activities) were cash outflows of 14.1 billion yen, a decrease of 55.2 billion yen year on year.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 was 9.0 billion yen, mainly owing to the redemption of bonds and the payment of dividends, despite the procurement of capital from the issuance of commercial paper. As a result, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 403.8 billion yen, a decrease of 19.6 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year.

Aggregated market value of owner’s equity based on the stock price at the end of the period / total assets at the end of each period

Cash flow to interest-bearing debt ratio:

Average balance of interest-bearing debt / cash flows from operating activities

* Average balance of interest-bearing debt = (balance of interest-bearing debt at the beginning of the period + balance of interest-bearing debt at the end of the period)/2

Interest coverage ratio:

Cash flows from operating activities / interest expenses

Note

Aggregated market value of owner’s equity is calculated based on the total number of issued shares minus treasury stock.

The above indices do not show the figures for the cash flow to interest-bearing debt ratio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 as NEC’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were not prepared under Japan GAAP.


3. Fundamental Policy on Distribution of Profits, and Dividends for the First Half and Full Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2008

As NEC needs to adopt a flexible policy in order to better respond to the rapidly changing business environment, NEC considers, among other factors, the following factors in determining its cash dividends: the profits earned in the relevant fiscal period; the financial outlook for the following fiscal periods, the dividend payout ratio, and the internal demand for funds such as capital expenditures.

NEC will pay an interim dividend of 4 yen per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, which will be paid starting on December 3, 2007. NEC plans to pay an annual dividend of 8 yen per share of common stock, including the interim dividend of 4 yen per share of common stock.

4. Challenges to be Addressed by NEC Group

Through the advancement of IT and network technologies, a ubiquitous networked society, which enables interchange of necessary information via a variety of information communication devices at anytime, and anywhere, is now being realized. In addition, it is anticipated that next generation networks (“NGNs”) will become the platform to create a convenient, comfortable, and safe and secure society, and a variety of new services will be created on this platform.

Embracing these changes in the business environment as new business opportunities, the NEC Group will promote further growth through the provision of total solutions, leveraging its world-class technological competence in the three business domains of IT/Network Solutions, Mobile/Personal Solutions, and Electron Devices.

To be more exact, leveraging NGNs, the NEC Group will create a wide variety of solutions that will be useful for the realization of a ubiquitous networked society in areas such as national and local governments, communications and media, distribution, finance, transport, and medical care, as well as telecom carriers. Along with expanding its business in markets revitalized by NGNs, the NEC Group will expand the product and device businesses that support NGNs, aiming for increasing profitability in its NGN-related businesses which mainly provide service platforms.

In addition, it is necessary to further expand the global businesses of the NEC Group in order to promote its enhanced growth. The NEC Group is currently strengthening its operating bases by realigning overseas subsidiaries in the United States, Europe and Asia, aiming to create synergy in each country or region, and strengthening its sales and technical support structure. The NEC Group will carry out aggressive sales activities in overseas markets, focusing primarily on mobile communication systems in the area of Network Systems, and on competitive solutions and products, such as thin client systems (terminals with no memory storage such as a hard disk drive), in the areas of IT Services/System Integration and IT Platforms.

Furthermore, to increase profitability, in addition to further strengthening ongoing production innovation in the product manufacturing divisions and software development divisions, the NEC Group is aiming to secure profitability in the mobile terminal area through acceleration of mobile handset development and strengthening of supply chain management. In addition, in the area of Semiconductors, the NEC Group is strengthening collaboration between NEC Electronics Corporation and all of the other NEC Group companies toward steady execution of the restructuring measures disclosed by NEC Electronics Corporation in February, 2007, such as concentration of its resources in the digital consumer and automotive areas, and reduction of manufacturing costs by reorganizing its manufacturing lines in Japan and overseas.

By executing these measures, the NEC Group aims to develop into a global and innovative corporate group, achieving business growth and enhanced profitability.

NEC submitted an Improvement Report to Tokyo and other stock exchanges in Japan pertaining to an announcement it made on December 2006 to correct its semiannual financial results, originally announced in November. NEC later submitted an Improvement Status Report to the same stock exchanges with improvement measures that it has implemented in accounting and other related divisions. These measures include (a) enhancement of systems for streamlining and improving accuracy of account closing, (b) improvement of operations for streamlining responsiveness to audits, and (c) enhancement, education and training of personnel. These measures have been taken to improve NEC’s information disclosure structure.

(Omission of Disclosure)

Disclosure of items such as lease transactions, derivatives, stock options, business combination related items and significant subsequent events are not included as they are considered to be of less material importance.


CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:

This material contains forward-looking statements pertaining to strategies, financial targets, technology, products and services, and business performance of NEC Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “NEC”). Written forward-looking statements may appear in other documents that NEC files with stock exchanges or regulatory authorities, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and in reports to shareholders and other communications. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains, and other applicable laws may contain, a safe-harbor for forward-looking statements, on which NEC relies in making these disclosures. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “aims,” or “anticipates,” or the negative of those words, or other comparable words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, beliefs, plans, targets, or intentions. Forward-looking statements necessarily depend on currently available assumptions, data, or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and NEC may not be able to realize the results expected by them. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect NEC’s analysis and expectations only. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include (i) global economic conditions and general economic conditions in NEC’s markets, (ii) fluctuating demand for, and competitive pricing pressure on, NEC’s products and services, (iii) NEC’s ability to continue to win acceptance of NEC’s products and services in highly competitive markets, (iv) NEC’s ability to expand into foreign markets, such as China, (v) regulatory change and uncertainty and potential legal liability relating to NEC’s business and operations, (vi) NEC’s ability to restructure, or otherwise adjust, its operations to reflect changing market conditions, (vii) movement of currency exchange rates, particularly the rate between the yen and the U.S. dollar, (viii) impact of NEC’s announcement that its previously issued financial statements may not be relied upon and inability to prepare the financial statements for inclusion in the 2006 Form 20-F and to restate historical financial statements, and (ix) uncertainty relating to the ongoing informal inquiry by the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for NEC to predict these events or how they may affect NEC. NEC does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The management targets included in this material are not projections, and do not represent management’s current estimates of future performance. Rather, they represent targets that management will strive to achieve through the successful implementation of NEC’s business strategies.

Finally, NEC cautions you that the statements made in this material are not an offer of securities for sale. The securities may not be offered or sold in any jurisdiction in which registration is required absent registration or an exemption from registration under the applicable securities laws. For example, any public offering of securities to be made in the United States must be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and made by means of an English language prospectus that contains detailed information about NEC and management, as well as NEC’s financial statements.
