1. Loss related to airbag inflators
Honda provides warranty programs with regard to the product recalls and SIC (Safety Improvement Campaign) related to airbag inflators. Honda recognizes a provision for specific warranty costs when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. There is a possibility that Honda will need to recognize additional provisions when new evidence related to product recalls arise, however, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this report.
In North America, various class actions related to the above mentioned product recalls and SIC have been filed against Honda since October 2014. The plaintiffs have claimed for properly functioning airbag inflators, compensation of economic losses including for incurred costs and the decline in the value of vehicles, as well as punitive damages. Most of the cases in the United States were transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and consolidated into a multi-district litigation.
Regarding the above matter, Honda did not recognize a provision for loss contingencies because the conditions for a provision have not been met as of the date of this report. Also, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this report because there is uncertainty regarding the period when these lawsuits will be concluded.
2. Transfer pricing tax refund
In May 2015, the lawsuit related to transfer pricing involving the Companys foreign transactions with certain Brazilian subsidiaries was concluded, and it was ruled that the Company shall receive a tax refund plus interest in Japan. As a result, income tax expense decreased by JPY 19,145 million for the six months ended September 30, 2015
3. Impairment loss on investments in affiliates
For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment losses of JPY 17,365 million on certain investments accounted for using the equity method because there is objective evidence of impairment from declines in quoted market values. The impairment losses are included in share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated statement of income. For the six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company did not recognize any significant impairment losses.

Reason for Revision of Forecasts for Consolidated Financial Results of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2016
Due mainly to favorable foreign currency translation effects, despite an expected decrease in unit sales caused by changes in the business environment surrounding the Company, the Company has upwardly revised its forecast for sales revenue of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 which was announced on April 28, 2015. The Company has not changed its forecasts for operating profit, profit before income taxes, or profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 which were announced on April 28, 2015.
Reason for Revision of Forecasts for Unconsolidated Financial Results of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2016
Due mainly to decreased unit sales caused by changes in the business environment surrounding the Company and decreased dividend income from affiliated companies, the Company has downwardly revised its forecasts for unconsolidated net sales, operating income, ordinary income and net income of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 which were announced on April 28, 2015.
* | Basic earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent is calculated based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent. |
* | These forecasts for consolidated and unconsolidated financial results of the Company are based on managements assumptions and beliefs taking into account information currently available to it. Therefore, please be advised that the actual results of the Company could differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including general economic conditions in the principal markets of the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries and its affiliates accounted for by the equity-method, and fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, as well as other factors detailed from time to time. |
For more details, please refer to the Companys investor relations website (URL http://world.honda.com/investors/).
