ANNOUNCEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

PANASONIC REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

- Earnings turnaround on double-digit sales growth;

annual forecast revised upward -

Osaka, Japan, July 29, 2010 — Panasonic Corporation (Panasonic [NYSE: PC]) today reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter, ended June 30, 2010, of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 (fiscal 2011).

First-quarter Results

Consolidated group sales for the first quarter increased 35% to 2,161.1 billion yen, from 1,595.5 billion yen in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (a year ago), growing sales in all segments. Of the consolidated group total, domestic sales amounted to 1,054.4 billion yen, up 23% from 858.8 billion yen a year ago. Overseas sales increased 50% to 1,106.7 billion yen, from 736.7 billion yen a year ago.

During the first quarter under review, the global economic recovery continued led by China and Asian countries, despite credit uncertainties in Europe. In this business condition, Panasonic launched a new midterm management plan called “Green Transformation 2012 (GT12)” in the beginning of fiscal 2011. The company’s vision is to become the ‘No.1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry’ leading up to Panasonic’s 100th anniversary in 2018, taking a lead in solving global environmental issues, the world’s common challenge. As a first step in GT12, Panasonic will contribute to environmental protection and business growth, as is emphasized in the two themes of the plan: ‘Paradigm shift for growth,’ and ‘Laying a foundation to be a Green Innovation Company.’ Panasonic aims to establish ‘Panasonic Group filled with strong growth potential’ in fiscal 2013.

Regarding earnings, operating profit1, pre-tax income and net income attributable to Panasonic Corporation were 83.8 billion yen, 84.3 billion yen and 43.7 billion yen, significantly improved from losses of 20.2 billion yen, 51.8 billion yen and 53.0 billion yen a year ago. This result was due mainly to strong sales, streamlining of material cost and fixed cost reduction, offsetting severe price competition, appreciation of yen and rising prices of raw materials.

Breakdown by Business Segment

The company’s first quarter consolidated sales and operating profits by business segment, compared with the amounts a year ago, are summarized as follows:

Digital AVC Networks

Sales in this segment increased 8% to 831.7 billion yen, from 773.3 billion yen a year ago. Despite sales decline of mobile phones, this was due primarily to strong sales of flat-panel TVs, Blu-ray Disc recorders and automotive electronics. Operating profit significantly improved to 27.9 billion yen from operating loss of 13.6 billion yen a year ago. This was due mainly to sales increase and comprehensive streamlining efforts.

Home Appliances2

Sales in this segment increased 5% to 322.8 billion yen, compared with 306.6 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to favorable sales in air conditioners, compressors and microwave ovens. Operating profit increased 73% to 32.3 billion yen, compared with 18.6 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to favorable sales and comprehensive streamlining efforts.

(PEW) and its subsidiaries, sales increased mainly in devices such as electrical construction materials and automation controls. For PanaHome Corporation and its subsidiaries, the recovery in Japanese housing market conditions and sales promotion of detached housing led overall sales increased. Operating profit was 8.3 billion yen, increased from an operating loss of 7.8 billion yen a year ago, due mainly to improvement in sales.

Components and Devices2

Sales in this segment increased 11% to 236.3 billion yen, compared with 213.3 billion yen a year ago. Strong sales of general electronic components, semiconductors and batteries contributed to this double-digit growth. Operating profit improved significantly to 11.8 billion yen from operating loss of 9.7 billion yen a year ago. This was due mainly to sales improvement and fixed cost reduction.

SANYO

Consolidated Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter amounted to 144.9 billion yen. This was attributable primarily to net income and depreciation. Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to 19.4 billion yen. This was due primarily to proceeds from disposition of investments and advances, and proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment, offsetting capital expenditures for manufacturing facilities such as flat-panel TVs and batteries, which are the company’s priority business areas. Net cash used in financing activities was 69.5 billion yen, due mainly to expenditures on purchasing of noncontrolling interests of the company’s subsidiaries. All these activities associated with the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, resulted in cash and cash equivalents of 1,169.2 billion yen as of June 30, 2010, up 59.3 billion yen, compared with the end of the last fiscal year (March 31, 2010).

The company’s consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2010 decreased 7.0 billion yen to 8,351.0 billion yen from the end of the fiscal 2010. This was due mainly to decrease in investments and advances affected by decline of market value in investments, despite increasing inventories experiencing seasonality. Panasonic Corporation shareholders’ equity decreased 141.8 billion yen, compared with the end of fiscal 2010, to 2,650.7 billion yen as of June 30, 2010. This result was due primarily to appreciation of yen, deterioration in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) influenced by decline of market value in investments, and decrease in capital surplus influenced by the acquisition of noncontrolling interests of the company’s subsidiaries.

Outlook for Fiscal 2011

Although the global economic recovery has continued led by emerging countries, Panasonic anticipates the market conditions to be still uncertain due to signs of faltering economies of U.S. and Europe. In these severe business conditions, regarding consolidated results forecast for six months ending September 30, 2010, the company revised its previous forecast announced on May 7, 2010 upward, due mainly to sales growth in all segments especially Digital AVC Networks and Home Appliances. The company revised its sales forecast from 4,200 billion yen to 4,370 billion yen. Operating profit is expected to be 140 billion yen, increasing 86 billion yen from the previous forecast of 54 billion yen. Income before income taxes is forecasted to be 120 billion yen, improved from the previous forecast of 29 billion yen. Net income attributable to Panasonic Corporation is expected to be 55 billion yen improved from the previous forecast of 2 billion yen. Net income attributable to Panasonic Corporation common shareholders, per share is anticipated to be 26.57 yen, improved from the previous forecast of 0.97 yen.

1. The company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).

2. In order to be consistent with generally accepted financial reporting practices in Japan, operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, is presented as net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. The company believes that this is useful to investors in comparing the company’s financial results with those of other Japanese companies. Please refer to the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and Note 3 for the U.S. GAAP reconciliation.

3. Under U.S. GAAP, expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs at certain domestic and overseas companies are included as part of operating profit in the statement of operations.

4. Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation was reported as a loss of 48,730 million yen for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and a loss of 21,791 million yen for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation includes “net income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation” and increases (decreases) in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Panasonic Corporation.

5. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Panasonic Corporation common shareholders has been omitted because the company did not have potential common shares that were outstanding for the period.

6. Regarding consolidated segment profit (loss), expenses for basic research and administrative expenses at the corporate headquarters level are treated as unallocatable expenses for each business segment, and are included in Corporate and eliminations.

7. SANYO and its subsidiaries became Panasonic’s consolidated subsidiaries in December 2009. The operating results of SANYO and its subsidiaries are not included in the company’s consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

8. The company’s business segments are classified according to a business domain-based management system, which focuses on global consolidated management by each business domain, in order to ensure consistency of its internal management structure and disclosure. The company restructured the motor business on April 1, 2010. Accordingly, segment information for Home Appliances and, Components and Devices in fiscal 2010 is reclassified to conform to the presentation for fiscal 2011.
