4 1. Operating and Financial Results 1.1 Analysis of operating results Overview of consolidated results for the term The operating environment for the automobile industry during fiscal 2013 continued to be marked by destabilizing factors. There were some indications that the recovery in the global economy was gaining strength, these including the economic recovery in the United States, the bottoming out of economic troubles in the Eurozone and the correction in the high value of the yen as a result of the Bank of Japan's fiscal easing policy. But the operating environment was negatively impacted by upheavals in emerging market economies due to the scale-back in the United States qualitative easing policy, by a slowing down in the growth of the Chinese economy, by political and economic confusion in some emerging nations and by geopolitical risks which now include the tensions in the Ukraine. Fiscal 2013 marked the final year of the company s JUMP 2013 mid-term business plan and during the year Mitsubishi Motors focused its efforts on emerging markets, environmental initiatives and raising profit levels in order to achieve the plan s fundamental goal of growth and a leap forward. Operating within this environment, the Mitsubishi Motors Group posted cumulative consolidated results for the full 2013 fiscal year which set record profits in all profit indicators, as follows: Net sales increased billion yen, or 15% yearon-year, to 2,093.4 billion yen. Operating income rose 56.0 billion yen, or 83% year-on-year, to billion yen, as a result of favorable foreign exchange rates as well as solid progress made in continuing reduction of material and other costs, despite increases in sales and R&D costs. Ordinary income rose 35.6 billion yen, or 38% year-on-year, to billion yen. Net income increased 66.7 billion yen, or 176% year-on-year, to billion yen. Global retail sales volume for the full 2013 fiscal year totaled 1,047,000 units, an increase of 6% or 60,000 units over the same period in FY2012. Sales volumes by region were as follows. In Japan, MMC posted a sales volume of 143,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 7% or 9,000 units. A fall in registered car sales over the same period last year was more than countered by firm sales of the ek Wagon and ek Custom minicar models launched in June 2013 and of the ek Space minicar model launched in February In North America, MMC posted a sales volume of 97,000 units, an increase of 14% or 12,000 units over the same period last year. The increase was driven by the launch of new Outlander SUV and new Mirage models. In Europe, MMC posted a sales volume of 202,000 units, an increase of 11% or 21,000 units over the same period last year. The increase was driven by the launch of the Outlander PHEV and other new models. In Asia, MMC posted a sales volume across the region of 344,000 units, a decrease of 4% or 13,000 units over the same period last year. Sales volume decreased in Thailand as a result of sluggish demand stemming from the ending of the Thai government's First Buyer Program in December 2012 and confusion in the political situation. This drop was partly countered by a major growth in sales in China, and especially at GAC Mitsubishi Motors, as well as by recordsetting sales volume in Indonesia and the Philippines. In Other regions, MMC posted a sales volume of 261,000 units, an increase of 14% or 31,000 units. The increase was due to sales volume in Australia, New Zealand, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa all exceeding the figures for fiscal Notes: (1) The sales figures above are reported by geographical segment, which is based on an administrative classification created by MMC. (2) The unit sales, net sales and operating income reported below are supplemental information for the Consolidated Financial Tables: Segment information.

Operating profit of 1.5 billion yen was down 0.9 billion yen over fiscal Results by region were as follows: (1) Japan Net sales totaled 1,744.4 billion yen, an increase of billion yen or 21% over fiscal 2012 due to higher unit sales. Operating income came in at 68.4 billion yen, an increase of 59.1 billion yen or 639% over fiscal 2012 due to the correction in the high value of the Japanese yen and to the positive results of cost reductions. (Higher revenue and profit) (2) North America Net sales totaled billion yen, an increase of 92.2 billion yen or 53% over fiscal 2012 driven mainly by higher unit sales and the correction in the high value of the Japanese yen. Operating income came in at 2.7 billion yen (higher revenue and a positive turnaround in operating profit). (3) Europe Net sales came in at billion yen, an increase of 7.9 billion yen or 7%, over fiscal 2012 mainly due to the correction in the high value of the Japanese yen and to increased unit sales of higher-priced models. Operating income, however, came in at 8.2 billion yen, down 3.1 billion yen or 27% on fiscal 2012 due to an increase in costs and other factors (higher revenue, lower profit). (4) Asia & Other Net sales came in at billion yen, an increase of 5.5 billion yen or 1% over fiscal 2012 driven mainly by higher unit sales in the ASEAN region. Operating income, however, came in at 48.0 billion yen, down 7.7 billion yen or 14% on fiscal 2012 due to higher sales costs and a drop in unit sales of high-margin models (higher revenue, lower profit).

8 1.3 Dividend policy and dividends for the term ended March 31, 2014 MMC considers the return of profits to shareholders to be one of the most important goals of management. The increasing intensity of competition in the global auto industry and the need to develop more advanced environmental technologies today mean that demand on corporate funds is high. It is a basic company policy to regularly divide the fruits of its operations among its shareholders after taking the state of earnings and cash flows into account. MMC forecast that the amount of the year-end dividend is to be 25 yen, which is the total of an ordinary dividend of 15 yen per share and an extraordinary dividend of 10 yen per share in light of factors such the cleanup of shares of preferred stock and the state of full-year operating results. The payment of the year-end dividend is to be confirmed through a resolution at the General Shareholders Meeting. For the term ending March 2015, the company plans to pay an ordinary dividend of 15 Yen, the same as this term, split into an interim dividend of 7.5 Yen and a year-end dividend of 7.5 Yen. 1.4 Business-related risks Risks that may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group are outlined below. Country risk Overseas sales accounted for around 80 percent of the MMC Group s consolidated net sales for the period. Changes in the economic, political or social situation in Japan or in the regions and countries MMC trades with, and in particular the countries of ASEAN and other emerging nations which will be central to the company s regional strategy, may seriously impact the MMC Group s operating results and/or financial standing. In addition, conducting business operations in overseas markets exposes the company to latent risks including, but not limited to, changes in laws and taxes, changes in the political and economic situation, deficiencies in infrastructure, difficulties in acquiring skilled personnel, acts of terrorism and other emergencies and the outbreak of epidemics. In the event risks such as these start to manifest themselves, they may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Intensifying competition Overcapacity in the auto industry and other factors are seeing an intensification of competition on a global basis. Increasing price competition makes sales incentives and effective publicity campaigns indispensable in promoting sales and retaining market share. Such increases in price competition and marketing incentives may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. In addition, as competition in the auto industry intensifies, the development cycle for new products becomes shorter. In such circumstances, unless the company is able to offer new products which satisfy price, quality, safety and other customer requirements, or if the company s strategic products are unable to gain suitable market acceptance, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted. Further, unless the MMC Group is able to formulate effective measures and strategies aimed at maintaining and increasing its competitiveness, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted through a drop in demand for its products. Natural and other disasters The MMC Group maintains production and other facilities in Japan and many parts of the world. The occurrence of a major natural or other disaster, including earthquakes, typhoons, fires and epidemics, in these areas may result in the suspension or other serious interruption in the operations of the MMC Group or of its suppliers. MMC has prepared and maintains plans and measures to keep operations going in areas and under situations where such risks are high and where they would have a serious impact on MMC Group operations. A disaster occurring on a scale larger than anticipated, however, may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Changes in laws and regulations - 8 -

9 The MMC Group is subject to laws and regulations governing protection of the environment, product safety and other matters in the countries where it operates. In the event that the MMC Group fails to conform to or is unable to comply with such laws and regulations, or should such failure lead to sanctions against it, then large costs may be incurred for the purpose of conforming to or of complying with any revision, strengthening of or additions to, these laws and regulations and this may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Manufacturing cost The MMC Group sources parts and raw materials from a large number of suppliers to manufacture its products. Any rise in the manufacturing cost of MMC s products due to changes in demand and other market conditions may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations Overseas sales accounted for around 80 percent of the MMC Group s consolidated net sales for the term under consideration. MMC endeavors to hedge risks involved in foreign currency receivables and payables through the prudent use of derivative contracts and other instruments but fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may still seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Funding interest rates As at the end of March 2014, the balance of MMC s consolidated interest-bearing debt(short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings) was billion yen. At that time, the balance of the company s consolidated savings was billion yen and so any impact due to the interest-bearing debt may be partially mitigated but changes in interest rates on borrowings resulting from changes in financial market conditions may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Failure to achieve mid-term business plan targets The MMC Group has drawn up a mid-term business plan setting out operational strategy for the mid-term. However, in the event that differences arise between the premises on which the plan was drawn up and real-world conditions, or should risks other than those described in this section become prominent, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted. MMC endeavors to improve the quality and assure the safety of MMC Group products. However, in the event that MMC has to issue a recall or implement countermeasures on a large scale due to product defects or failures, or in the event that MMC is pursued in a large-scale product liability action, the large costs incurred and the damage to the company s reputation and consequent drop in demand for its products may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Lawsuits Any lawsuit brought against MMC by customers, trading partners or other third parties in the course of the MMC Group conducting its business operations may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. In addition, in the event that a decision in a legal action currently under dispute goes against the MMC Group s claims or predictions, this may seriously impact the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. In February 20, 2010, MASRIA CO., Ltd. (hereafter Plaintiff ), a former MMC distributor in Egypt, filed a lawsuit against MMC for dissolution of a distributor agreement between MMC and the Plaintiff including a 900 million USD claim for damages. The judgments in both the courts of first and second instance found in favor of MMC on October 26, 2010 and July 3, 2012 respectively. The case is now before the final appellate court after the Plaintiff appealed on July 21, 2012 against the judgment of the court of second instance. MMC s notice to terminate the distributor agreement with the Plaintiff followed due legal process and the terms of the agreement, thus making the Plaintiff s claim irrational. For this reason, at present MMC does not consider this legal case will result in any serious impact on the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group. Tie-ups and alliances - 9 -

10 The MMC Group engages in a variety of activities through operational tie-ups and alliances with auto manufacturers and other companies both in Japan and overseas for the purpose of conducting and expanding its operations. In the event of a particular situation arising at, or of any breakdown in discussions with, a tie-up or alliance company which is beyond the control of MMC, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted. Dependence on particular suppliers MMC sources raw materials and parts from a large number of suppliers. The necessity to procure materials and parts characterized by higher quality or more advanced technologies at more competitive prices may bring about a situation in which orders are concentrated upon a specific supplier. There may also be only a limited number of suppliers able to supply parts for which a specific technology is required. Consequently, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted in the event that some unforeseen situation arises and interrupts deliveries from such suppliers. Customer, trading partner credit The MMC Group is exposed to credit risks in its dealings with customers and with dealers and other trading partners and in its automobile financing business. In the event that losses stemming from such credit risks exceed the company s estimates, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted. Infringement of intellectual property rights In order to distinguish its products from those of other auto manufacturers MMC endeavors to protect its own technologies, know-how and other intellectual property as well as to prevent the infringement of third party intellectual property rights. However, in the event that a third party unlawfully uses MMC Group intellectual property to manufacture and sell imitations of its products, or in the event that limitations in the legal system in certain countries in relation to the protection of intellectual property rights result in a fall in sales or in legal costs, or in the event that an unforeseen third party intellectual property right requires a halt in manufacturing or sales or in the payment of compensation, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted. IT and information security The information technology and the networks and systems that the MMC Group uses in its management and its products are exposed to the possibility of attacks by hackers or computer viruses, to illegal or inappropriate use and to infrastructure breakdowns. In such an event, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted. The MMC Group possesses confidential information relating to matters both within and without the Group and including personal data. In the event such information is improperly leaked to the outside, the operating results and/or financial standing of the MMC Group may be seriously impacted

12 3. Management Policies 3.1 Basic management policy We are committed to providing the utmost driving pleasure and safety for our valued customers and our community. On these commitments we will never compromise. This is the Mitsubishi Motors way. This corporate philosophy is the cornerstone to all of MMC s corporate activities in its quest to remain and grow as a company that enjoys the trust of its shareholders, customers, business associates, employees and all other stakeholders. The phrase For our valued customers and our community refers to MMC s determination to place the utmost importance on its customers and the local communities it operates in. All corporate activities are conducted with customer satisfaction as the foremost consideration. To this end, MMC devotes its energies and resources to developing environmental technologies and to the pursuit of vehicle safety. By earning customer satisfaction in this way MMC aims to remain a company in which society places its trust. The phrase The utmost driving pleasure and safety refers to MMC s determination to make clear the direction engineering and car building MMC is taking. The vehicles that MMC offers customers reflect the ideals of Driving Pleasure and Reassuring Safety. MMC builds cars that balance on and off-road performance the fundamental appeal of a car with the safety and reliability that encourage customers to drive Mitsubishi cars with confidence and reassurance for many years. The phrase On these commitments we will never compromise refers to the uncompromising attention to detail that MMC gives to its car design and building activities and that distinguishes MMC from others. In its approach to designing and building cars MMC leaves no stone unturned in its commitment to discovering new values that earn customer satisfaction and enrich the car ownership experience. The phrase Committed to providing refers to the importance that MMC attaches to continuity. MMC passionately believes that by constantly challenging new frontiers and pushing the envelope in its design and building activities it can continue to offer customers cars that reflect and embody the next evolutionary stage in traditional MMC values. 3.2 Management indices MMC does not currently employ ROE, ROA or other such management performance indices. MMC is, however, working toward sustainable growth by devoting its energies and resources to tackling the tasks set out in the New Stage 2016 midterm business plan. 3.3 Medium- and long-term management strategy All MMC Group directors and employees will work together in devoting their energies to executing the New Stage 2016 mid-term business plan that covers the period from fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016 (end of March 2017). 3.4 Issues facing the Company In a journey that started with the Revitalization Plan initiated in FY2005, went on through STEP UP 2010 and ended with JUMP 2013, the MMC Group has succeeded in creating the climate to allow resumption of dividend payments on common stock, a long-standing issue, after completing the cleanup of shares of preferred stock. Gazing into the future, while a rebound fall in demand in Japan after the last-minute surge before the recent increase in consumption tax is unavoidable in the short term, a certain degree of improvement in the operating environment for automakers is expected as business recovers overseas. However, the industry is still exposed to such risks as political and economic uncertainty in emerging nations which are looked to as growth markets, mid- to long-term stagnation in established markets, foreign exchange fluctuations and intensifying competition between automakers. In these circumstances, the MMC Group has positioned the New Stage 2016 mid-term business plan as a new stage for growth in its management plans. This new stage for growth adopts five basic policies: Revenue growth by launching strategic models; Enhancing the MMC brand and identity; Reinforcing MMC s production base in ASEAN countries; Establishing an SUV brand with a strong foothold in emerging markets; and, making effective use of resources through business partnerships. In turn, these policies provide the foundation for the following strategies which the company will adopt as it aims to achieve the new mid-term business plan. 1. Revenue growth by launching strategic models

13 2. Development of next-generation technology 3. Strengthening of regional strategies 4. Restructuring of operating structure 5. Establishment of stable business foundation 6. Actions for quality improvement MMC identifies the following as keys to achieving the New Stage 2016 mid-term business plan: Ensuring the profitability of the measures taken under JUMP 2013 to strengthen MMC operations such as the start-up of a new factory in Thailand, as well as the start of production at joint-venture operations China and Russia; utilizing its strong-selling pickup trucks, SUVs and crossover models as strategic products while steadily meeting the growing global need for eco-car technologies and safety technologies; harvesting higher sales volume on the back of mid- to long-term growth in Asian markets; strengthening its operations organization in emerging markets as well as conducting advance research and cutting-edge technology development to prepare for the future after New Stage 2016 has been completed. In FY2014, the initial year of the new mid-term business plan, MMC will introduce a new pickup truck as the first of its strategic products. And with a firm eye on future growth in the Philippine automobile market, the company will bolster its operational base in the country by restructuring its production capability by relocating Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation s (MMPC) headquarters and factory to another factory site where MMPC acquired in March this year. In addition, MMC will continue implementation of its Customer First Program initiative to promote company-wide quality reforms. Placing the highest priority on compliance in its implementation and execution of the initiatives described above, MMC will give even greater consideration to its relationship with the environment and with society to ensure that it continues to faithfully earn the trust it enjoys from its customers and society at large.
