Accompanying Information

1. Business Results, Financial Condition and Prospects

(1) Business Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Economic Situation and Business Environment

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 (“the first quarter”), the Japanese economy stagnated due to the broad effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, namely a decline in corporate production activities and a reduction in personal spending. On the other hand, the European and U.S. economies recovered moderately on the back of solid exports and an increase in private capital investment. The Asian economy led by China continued to grow strongly.

During the first quarter, production activities for general industrial market expanded steadily. However, in the digital consumer equipment market, which is the principal market for Kyocera Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Kyocera Group” or “Kyocera”), overall demand was sluggish compared with its initial projections, despite the expectations for demand growth.

Consolidated Financial Results

Average exchange rates for the first quarter were ¥82 to the U.S. dollar, marking appreciation of ¥10 (approximately 11%) from the three months ended June 30, 2010 (“the previous first quarter”), and ¥117 to the Euro, which was unchanged from the previous first quarter. As a result, net sales and income before income taxes for the first quarter were adversely affected by approximately ¥13 billion and ¥3 billion, respectively, compared with the previous first quarter. Consolidated net sales for the first quarter decreased by ¥7,944 million, or 2.5%, to ¥305,231 million, compared with ¥313,175 million in the previous first quarter due mainly to the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation and to a decline in sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group. As a result, profit from operations for the first quarter decreased by ¥7,290 million, or 18.0%, to ¥33,313 million, compared with ¥40,603 million in the previous first quarter. In addition, income before income taxes decreased by ¥6,401 million, or 13.8%, to ¥39,922 million, compared with ¥46,323 million in the previous first quarter. Net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera Corporation for the first quarter decreased by ¥5,089 million, or 17.0%, to ¥24,804 million, compared with ¥29,893 million in the previous first quarter.

Operating profit for the first quarter decreased by ¥1,744 million, or 6.2%, to ¥26,474 million, compared with ¥28,218 million in the previous first quarter.

1) Fine Ceramic Parts Group

Both sales and operating profit in this reporting segment for the first quarter increased compared with the previous first quarter as a result of growing demand for components used in the industrial machinery market such as semiconductor fabrication equipment and in the LED related market.

2) Semiconductor Parts Group

Sales decreased in this reporting segment for the first quarter compared with the previous first quarter due mainly to the yen’s appreciation. Operating profit increased compared with the previous first quarter, however, as a result of efforts to reduce manufacturing costs and improve productivity.

3) Applied Ceramic Products Group

Overall sales in this reporting segment for the first quarter increased compared with the previous first quarter due to an increase in sales in the cutting tool business. However, operating profit decreased compared with the previous first quarter due primarily to a decline in selling prices in the solar energy business.

4) Electronic Device Group

Despite the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation and slowed component demand for digital consumer equipment, sales and operating profit remained on par with the previous first quarter due to our efforts to expand sales in various fields such as industrial market.

ii) Equipment Business:

Sales in the Equipment Business for the first quarter decreased by ¥14,082 million, or 11.4%, to ¥109,139 million, compared with ¥123,221 million in the previous first quarter.

1) Telecommunications Equipment Group

Sales of mobile phone handsets in Japan and the U.S. decreased affected by stagnated global handset market. In addition, the negative impact of the yen’s appreciation and disrupted production of certain models caused by disaster resulted in overall decline in sales and operating profit compared with the previous first quarter.

2) Information Equipment Group

Sales and operating profit in this reporting segment for the first quarter increased compared with the previous first quarter due to sales growth of mid-speed machines and color machines in Europe and Asia through an introduction of new models such as multifunctional peripherals and printers.

iii) Others:

Overall sales in this reporting segment for the first quarter increased compared with the previous first quarter due to an increase in sales at Kyocera Communication Systems Co., Ltd, etc. Operating profit decreased compared with the previous first quarter due mainly to an increase in R&D expenses for new businesses.

(2) Consolidated Financial Condition

Consolidated Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 decreased by ¥11,617 million to ¥261,854 million from ¥273,471 million at March 31, 2011.

1) Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter decreased by ¥28,426 million to ¥19,731 million from ¥48,157 million in the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to a decrease in net income and cash outflows from a decrease in notes and accounts payable.

2) Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter decreased by ¥9,987 million to ¥15,115 million from ¥25,102 million in the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to an increase in withdrawals of certificate of deposits and time deposits which exceeded an increase in purchases of held-to-maturity securities.

3) Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter totaled ¥13,938 million and remained at the same level as ¥13,898 million in the previous quarter. This reflected that an increase in dividends paid was offset by an increase in short-term borrowings.

(3) Acquisition of Unimerco Group A/S

Kyocera made the decision to acquire Unimerco Group A/S (“Unimerco”), a Denmark-based industrial cutting tool manufacturing and sales company, through Kyocera Fineceramics GmbH (“KFG”), Kyocera’s Germany-based subsidiary, with the aim of expanding its cutting tool business. Unimerco became a wholly-owned subsidiary of KFG as of July 11, 2011. Through this acquisition, Kyocera has expanded its sales sites throughout the principle parts of the European market and intends to increase sales of its product lines going forward. Furthermore, by adding Unimerco’s line of high-quality, high-precision, custom-made solid-type cutting tools to the Kyocera Group lineup, Kyocera will also be able to fully engage in the growing fields of cutting tools for aviation and wind power generation, as well as enter the woodworking market, thus expanding its business through the pursuit of synergies between the two companies.

(4) Consolidated Forecasts for the Year Ending March 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”)

Kyocera posted results in the first quarter that were roughly in line with our initial projections despite the negative impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake. From the second quarter onward, despite heightened uncertainties such as the appreciation of the yen, financial problems in certain European nations and concern triggered by slowdown in the Asian economy, Kyocera expects production activities to recover in Japan as restoration from the recent disaster progresses. Accordingly, there are no changes to the forecasts of consolidated sales and profits for fiscal 2012, announced on April 27, 2011.

Kyocera has made the revisions to average exchange rates for fiscal 2012 in light of exchange rates in the first quarter and forecasts from the second quarter onward. The revised average exchange rates are ¥80 to the U.S. dollar, making appreciation of ¥1 from ¥81, and ¥113 to the Euro, marking appreciation of ¥2 from ¥115, compared with those rates announced on April 27, 2011. As a result of the revisions, net sales and income before income taxes for fiscal 2012 are adversely affected by approximately ¥9 billion and approximately ¥4 billion, respectively.

2. Other Information

Changes in accounting policies:

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Kyocera adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)’s Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” which addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vender to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit. This accounting standard addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Kyocera adopted the FASB’s ASU No. 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” This accounting standard modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
