Profits increased compared with the previous first quarter reflecting the sales growth and efforts to reduce costs.

Table of Contents

The analysis of Reporting Segment is as follows:

a. Industrial & Automotive Components Group

Sales revenue in this reporting segment increased compared with the previous first quarter due to a significant increase in sales revenue of industrial tools resulting from growing demand and merger and acquisition activities. Sales revenue of fine ceramic parts used in semiconductor processing equipment also increased on the back of a buoyant market. Business profit increased markedly due to the growth in sales revenue and cost reductions.

b. Semiconductor Components Group

Sales revenue in this reporting segment were roughly on par with the previous first quarter. Despite an increase in sales revenue of organic packages mainly for automobile applications, demand for ceramic packages for optical communications was down relative to the previous first quarter, which registered a high level of sales, due mainly to the impact of inventory adjustments. Business profit decreased due to lower sales revenue of ceramic packages.

c. Electronic Devices Group

Sales revenue of ceramic capacitors for smartphones increased. Demand for printing devices for industrial equipment was also strong. Merger and acquisition activities at AVX Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary, also made a contribution. As a result, sales revenue and business profit in this reporting segment increased significantly compared with the previous first quarter.

d. Communications Group

Sales revenue decreased compared with the previous first quarter and a business loss was recorded in this reporting segment due to a decline in sales revenue in the telecommunications equipment business, despite increases in sales revenue and profit in the information and communications services business, which provides engineering services, etc.

e. Document Solutions Group

Sales revenue and business profit increased in this reporting segment compared with the previous first quarter due to an increase in sales volume resulting from aggressive sales promotion activities, contributions from merger and acquisition activities and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

f. Life & Environment Group

Sales revenue in this reporting segment decreased compared with the previous first quarter due to a decline in sales revenue in the solar energy business. A business loss was recorded due primarily to this decrease in sales revenue and an increase in research and development expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 increased by 8,109 million yen, or 1.9%, to 433,047 million yen from 424,938 million yen at March 31, 2018.

a. Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter increased by 10,575 million yen, or 17.7%, to 70,347 million yen from 59,772 million yen for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to an increase in profit for the period.

b. Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter decreased by 35,053 million yen, or 84.8%, to 6,262 million yen from 41,315 million yen for the previous first quarter. This reflected that the withdrawal of time deposit exceeded the acquisition for the first quarter although the acquisition exceeded the withdrawal for the previous first quarter.

c. Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter increased by 38,978 million yen, or 173.1%, to 61,490 million yen from 22,512 million yen for the previous first quarter. This was due mainly to the purchase of treasury stock.

(3) Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the main short-term demand of funds, Kyocera expects to pay for capital expenditures, research and development, merger and acquisition and cash dividends in addition to operation funds for business operations. The source of Kyocera’s short-term funding is primarily cash earned by sales activities. Some of Kyocera’s consolidated subsidiaries are funded by borrowing from financial institutions in several different currencies, primarily in Euro.

Based on the resolution of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 26, 2018, Kyocera held a year-end dividend, totaling 22,062 million yen, or 60 yen per share, on June 27, 2018, to all shareholders as of March 31, 2018.

Since Kyocera has 433,047 million yen in cash and cash equivalents at the end of first quarter, Kyocera recognizes that there are few concerns about the shortage of future predictable financial needs. In the future, in the event of a deteriorating market demand trend or a decline in product prices exceeding Kyocera’s expectations, the impact on Kyocera’s financial position and operating results could adversely affect the liquidity of Kyocera’s capital.

Research and development expenses in the first quarter increased by 3,129 million yen, or 23.0%, to 16,713 million yen from 13,584 million yen for the previous first quarter. This increase was due mainly to merger and acquisition activities conducted in fiscal 2018 and an increase in research and development expenses for automotive-related market. There were no significant changes in the status of research and development activities from the Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2018 pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan.

Notes to Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Reporting Entity

Kyocera Corporation is a corporation domiciled in Japan, whose shares are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The registered address of headquarter and principal business offices are available on the Kyocera Corporation’s website ( https://global.kyocera.com/ ).

Condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2018 consist of Kyocera Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (hereinafter, “Kyocera”) and shares of associates of Kyocera.

Kyocera globally operates various kinds of businesses, which include productions and distributions of material components, electronic devices and equipment as well as provisions of systems and services, in the markets primarily related to information and communications, automotive-related, environment and energy and medical and healthcare. The details are described in “Note 6. Segment Information.”

2. Basis of Preparation

(1) Compliance with IFRS and first-time adoption

The condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements of Kyocera have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (hereinafter, “IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” pursuant to the provision of Article 93 of Regulations for Consolidated Financial Statements, as Kyocera meets the criteria of a “Designated IFRS Specified Company” defined under Article 1-2 of the regulations.

Kyocera adopts IFRS for the first-time this fiscal year (commencing on April 1, 2018 and ending on March 31, 2019), and so the annual consolidated financial statements for the year are the first ones prepared in conformity with IFRS. The date of transition of Kyocera to IFRS is April 1, 2017. Explanations of how the first-time adoption of, and the transition to, IFRS have affected Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows are provided in “Note 18. First-Time Adoption.”

(2) Basis of measurement

These condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain items, such as financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

(3) Functional currency and presentation currency

These condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese yen, which is the functional currency of Kyocera, and are rounded to the nearest million yen.

(4) Application of new standards and interpretations

Kyocera has adopted IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” (issued in May 2014 and amended in April 2016, hereinafter, “IFRS 15”) retrospectively from the year ended March 31, 2018. The details are provided in “Note 3. Significant accounting policies (16) Revenue recognition.” The effect to Kyocera’s financial position, operation results and cash flows by adopting IFRS 15 is described in “Note 18. First-Time Adoption.”

(5) Changes in accounting policies

Kyocera has adopted IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (issued in November 2009 and amended in July 2014, hereinafter, “IFRS 9”) from the year ending March 31, 2019. Kyocera has adopted exemptions from retrospective application of IFRS 9 in accordance with IFRS 1, and Kyocera has adopted U.S. GAAP, the previous accounting standards, at the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018. As for the details of each accounting policy under U.S. GAAP and IFRS 9, please refer to “Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies (10) Financial instruments.”

At the beginning of the year ending March 31, 2019, Kyocera has changed the measurement method of unlisted-stocks which were measured at cost under U.S. GAAP. The amounts of these financial instruments were shown in below table. These financial instruments were included in “debt and equity instruments” on the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of financial position. As for the details of the valuation techniques to measure fair value of financial instruments, please refer to “Note 13. Financial instruments.”

Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

     22,747  

IFRS 9 permits an entity to make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income for the investments in equity instruments. Kyocera chose to apply this option and classified listed stocks and unlisted stocks which meet the definition of equity instruments as financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. As a result, Kyocera reclassified the amounts recorded in retained earnings under U.S. GAAP into other components of equity at the beginning of the year ending March 31, 2019.

As mentioned above, for adopting IFRS 9, retained earnings increased by 2,973 million yen, and other components of equity decreased by 729 million yen at the beginning of this fiscal year.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

(1) Basis of consolidation

a. Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by Kyocera. Kyocera controls an entity when Kyocera is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control is obtained to the date when the control is lost.

If any accounting policies applied by subsidiaries are different from those applied by Kyocera, adjustments are made to the subsidiary’s financial statements, as needed. All intragroup balances, transactions and unrealized gains or losses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in the preparation of condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements.

Any changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control is accounted for as equity transaction. The difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration is directly recognized in equity and attributed to owners of the parent. When Kyocera loses control of a subsidiary, gains and losses arising from the loss of control are recognized in profit or loss.

b. Associates

An associate is an entity over which Kyocera has significant influence over their financial and operating policies but does not have control. Associates are accounted for using the equity method from the date when Kyocera has significant influence to the date when Kyocera loses it.

(2) Business combination

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method and acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Each identifiable asset acquired, liability and contingent liability assumed in a business combination is measured in fair value at its acquisition date.

When the total of consideration transferred in business combinations, amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree and fair value of the equity interest in the acquiree previously held by the acquirer exceeds net value of identifiable assets and liabilities on the acquisition date, such excess is recognized as goodwill. When the total is lower than the net value of identifiable assets and liabilities, the difference is recognized as profit. Consideration transferred is calculated as the total of the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed and equity interest issued, and includes fair value of assets of liabilities arising from the contingent consideration arrangement.

Non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or as non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net identifiable assets, for each individual business combination transaction.

Table of Contents

(3) Foreign currency translation

a. Functional currency

Each entity in Kyocera determines its own functional currency and measures transactions based on its own functional currency.

b. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the spot exchange rate of the date of transaction or the rate that approximates such exchange rate.

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the current exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured in fair value are translated into the functional currency at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Differences arising from the translation and settlement are recognized in profit or loss during the period except for those deferred in equity as effective cash flow hedges.

c. Foreign operations

Foreign operation is an entity that is a subsidiary or associate of Kyocera, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country or currency other than those of Kyocera. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Japanese yen at the rates of exchange prevailing at the closing date, while income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Japanese yen at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising from translation of foreign operations’ financial statements are recognized in other comprehensive income. In cases of disposition of interests of foreign operations involving loss of control or significant influence, the relevant cumulative amount of translation differences are transferred to profit or loss on disposal of foreign operations.

(4) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, deposits readily withdrawn as needed and highly liquid investments with a maturity within three months.

(5) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of acquisition cost and net realizable value. The remaining balance of raw materials to be purchased under the long-term purchase agreements are also measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

For finished goods and work in process, cost is determined mainly using the average method. For raw materials and supplies, cost is determined mainly using the first-in, first-out method.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any estimated costs of completion and estimated applicable variable selling expenses.

(6) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured by using the cost model and are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The acquisition cost includes costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets, and the costs of dismantling, removing and restoring.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over their useful lives. The useful lives of major components of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Building and structures

  

2 to 50 years

Machinery and equipment

  

2 to 20 years

The residual values, the useful lives and the depreciation methods of the assets are reviewed at end of each reporting period and the effect of any changes in estimate would be accounted prospectively as a change in an accounting estimate. Subsequent costs, major renewals and betterments, are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and depreciated based on their useful lives. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized as expenses during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Kyocera changed the depreciation method from the declining-balance method to the straight-line method from the year ending March 31, 2019.

Kyocera implemented capital expenditures in order to double its productivity at manufacturing facilities in Japan and overseas with the introduction of innovative technology to promote streamlining and automation of production processes. As a result, the operation of the property, plant and equipment is expected to be more consistently than before and future utilization of those assets will be consistent.

Accordingly, Kyocera believes that the change to the straight-line method will be preferable as it better reflects the consumption of future economic benefits of those assets.

In accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,” a change in depreciation method is treated as a change in accounting estimate. Therefore, the effect of the change in depreciation method has been reflected on a prospective basis from April 1, 2018 and it was to increase profit before income taxes by 2,999 million yen due mainly to the decrease in depreciation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

(7) Goodwill and intangible assets

a. Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in the business combination is stated at the amount of cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized, and is tested for impairment when there is an indication of impairment in cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated by expectation of benefits from business combination, and annually (January 1), regardless of any indication of impairment.

b. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are measured by using the cost model. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are stated at the amount of cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are stated at the amount of cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Expenditures in development activities are recognized as assets only if all of the following requirements can be demonstrated. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

  (a)

Technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale

 

  (b)

Intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it

 

  (c)

Ability to use or sell the intangible asset

 

  (d)

How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits

 

  (e)

Availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset

 

  (f)

Ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives. The useful lives of major components of intangible assets are as follows:

 

Customer relationships

   3 to 20 years

Software

   2 to 15 years

Others

   2 to 21 years

The amortization period and amortization method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and the effect of any changes in estimate would be accounted prospectively as a change in an accounting estimate.

For intangible assets with finite useful life, an impairment test is carried out when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life or which are not available for use are not amortized, and impairment test is carried out on an annual basis (January 1) or at time when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, or situation is changed.

Table of Contents

(8) Lease

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of assets are transferred to Kyocera. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

At inception, Kyocera initially recognizes finance leases as assets at the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payment. After the initial recognition, assets held under finance leases are depreciated using straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives based on the accounting policy Kyocera adopts for depreciable assets that are owned. Lease payments under a finance lease are apportioned between finance expenses and the reduction in the carrying amount of the liability. Finance expenses are recognized in the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(9) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each fiscal year, Kyocera reviews each non-financial assets, excluding inventories and deferred tax assets, to assess whether there is an indication that it may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and tested for impairment. Regardless of whether or not there are indications of impairment, impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested annually (January 1). The impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of fair value less costs to sell, or value in use. In calculating the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Kyocera assesses whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior years for an asset excluding goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased, such as any changes in assumptions used for the determination of the recoverable amount. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit is estimated, and if the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit, impairment losses are reversed up to the lower of the estimated recoverable amount or the carrying amount (net of depreciation) that would have been determined if no impairment losses had been recognized in prior years.

(10) Financial instruments

With regard to accounting for financial instruments, under the exemptions from the retrospective application of IFRS 9 in accordance with IFRS 1, Kyocera has applied U.S. GAAP for the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018, and applied IFRS 9 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Accounting policies under U.S. GAAP for the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018 are as follows:

Kyocera classifies investments in debt and equity securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Securities classified as available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported in other components of equity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. Non-marketable equity securities are accounted for by the cost method.

Kyocera evaluates whether the declines in fair value of securities are other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary declines in fair value are recorded as a realized loss with a new cost basis. This evaluation is based mainly on the duration and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the anticipated recoverability in fair value.

Kyocera maintains allowances for doubtful accounts related to trade and other receivables for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to make timely payments, including interest on finance receivables. Kyocera’s estimates are based on various factors, including the length of past due payments, historical experience and current business environments. In circumstances where it is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance against these amounts is provided, considering the fair value of assets pledged by the customer as collateral.

All derivatives are recorded as either assets or liabilities on the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of financial position and measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in profit or loss. However, cash flow hedges may qualify for hedge accounting, if the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows of hedging instruments and hedged items. Under hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these cash flow hedge derivatives are deferred in other components of equity and recognized in profit or loss when the underlying transaction being hedged occurs.

Kyocera designates certain foreign currency forward contracts. However, changes in fair value of most of the foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in profit or loss without applying hedge accounting as it is expected that such changes will be offset by corresponding gains or losses of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities. Kyocera’s associate designates interest rate swaps with applying hedge accounting to convert a portion of its variable rates debt to fixed rates debt.

Kyocera formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as cash flow hedge to specific assets and liabilities on the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of financial position or forecasted transactions. Kyocera also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not a highly effective hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, Kyocera discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When it is probable that the forecasted hedging transaction will not occur, the derivative gains or losses are reclassified into profit or loss immediately.

Table of Contents

Accounting policies under IFRS 9 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 are as follows:

a. Non-derivative financial assets

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets, such as stocks and bonds, are initially recognized on the contract date. All other financial assets are initially recognized on the transaction date.

Financial assets are classified into financial assets measured at amortized cost or financial assets measured at fair value at initial recognition. This classification is made as follows, depends on whether the financial asset is a debt instrument or equity instrument.

Financial assets classified as a debt instrument is subsequently measured at amortized cost when the following conditions are both satisfied. Otherwise, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

  i.

The financial asset is held within Kyocera’s business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.

 

  ii.

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets that are equity instruments are, in principle, classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at amortized cost are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction cost directly attributable to the asset.

(b) Subsequent measurement

 

  i.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

These financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and interests are recognized as “finance income” in profit or loss.

 

  ii.

Financial assets measured at fair value

For equity instruments that Kyocera has chosen to classify as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. Cumulative gains or losses are transferred to retained earnings when the instrument is derecognized. However, dividends from these assets are recognized as “finance income” in profit or loss.

(c) Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets are transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of such financial assets are transferred.

(d) Impairment

For impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost, expected credit losses are assessed and credit loss allowance is recognized at each reporting date.

When the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, credit loss allowance of the financial instruments is measured as the same amount as full lifetime expected credit losses after all reasonable and supportable information available including forecasts is considered. Otherwise, when the credit risk has not increased significantly, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses.

 

23

Table of Contents

However, with respect to trade receivables, notwithstanding the aforementioned, expected credit losses are always measured at an amount equal to full lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses and reversal of them is recognized in profit or loss.

b. Non-derivative financial liabilities

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

A financial liability is classified as a financial liability at amortized cost and it is initially measured at fair value less transaction cost directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability.

(b) Subsequent measurement

These financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortization using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising in the case of de-recognition are recognized as “finance expenses” in profit or loss.

(c) Derecognition

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in a contract is fulfilled or when liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired.

c. Derivatives and hedge accounting

Kyocera utilizes derivatives consisting of exchange contracts to reduce foreign currency risk. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value as of the date in which the derivative contracts are entered into. After initial recognition, derivatives are re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Kyocera formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as cash flow hedge to specific assets and liabilities on the financial position or forecasted transactions. Kyocera’s associate utilizes interest rate swaps mainly with applying hedge accounting to convert a portion of its variable rates debt to fixed rates debt.

Cash flow hedge is accounted for as follows:

At the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, Kyocera evaluates whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the relevant hedged item during the underlying period. Of changes in fair value of hedging instruments, the effective portion is recognized in other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. The amounts of hedging instruments recorded in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged transactions affect profit or loss.

When it is determined that a derivative is not a highly effective hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, Kyocera discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When it is probable that the forecasted hedging transaction will not occur, the derivative gains or losses are reclassified into profit or loss immediately.

 

24

Table of Contents

(11) Income taxes

Income taxes are composed of current and deferred taxes, and recognized in profit or loss, except for taxes related to business combinations and items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current taxes are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the fiscal year.

Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes, the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credit. Deferred tax assets are not recognized for temporary differences from initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not arise from business combinations and that do not impact accounting profit or taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are also not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates when Kyocera is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates when it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and when there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to be applied when they reverse, using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if Kyocera has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and income taxes are levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

In principal, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credit. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized.

Kyocera records the effect of unrecognized tax benefits based on the premise of being subject to income tax examination by tax authorities, when it is more likely than not that tax benefits associated with tax positions will not be sustained. Actual results such as settlements with taxing authorities may differ from the recognition accounted.

Income taxes on condensed quarterly consolidated statement of profit or loss are calculated based on the estimated annual income tax rate expected for the full fiscal year.

(12) Government grants

Government grants are recognized at fair value when there is a reasonable assurance that Kyocera receives the grants and complies with the terms and conditions attached to the grants. Government grants that are intended to compensate for specific costs are recognized as income in the period in which Kyocera recognizes the corresponding expenses. Government grants related to assets are directly deducted from acquisition cost of the assets.

Table of Contents

(13) Employee benefits

a. Post-employee benefits

Kyocera adopts defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.

(a) Defined benefit plans

Net defined benefit liability or asset is calculated by the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets. The ceiling of the amount recorded as assets based on this calculation is the present value of any future economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The defined benefit obligation is determined using the projected unit credit method, and its present value is determined by applying a discount rate based on the yield curve of high-quality corporate bonds as of the end of the fiscal year over the approximate period of the benefit payments.

Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset are recognized as profit or loss.

Past service cost is immediately recognized in profit or loss.

Re-measurements of net defined benefit liability or asset including actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income when they incurred, and transferred to retained earnings immediately from other components of equity.

(b) Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as employee benefits expenses in profit or loss in the period during which employees render services.

(16) Revenue recognition

Kyocera recognizes revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, excluding interest and dividend income and other such income from financial instruments recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 and excluding lease arrangement recognized in accordance with IAS 17 “leases”, by applying the following step:

Step 1: Identify the contracts with customers

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Kyocera generates revenue principally through the sale of the following markets: information and communications, automotive-related, environment and energy and medical and healthcare. Kyocera’s operations consist of the following reporting segments: “Industrial & Automotive Components Group,” “Semiconductor Components Group,” “Electronic Devices Group,” “Communications Group,” “Document Solutions Group” and “Life & Environment Group.”

Sales to customers in each of the above segments are based on the specific terms and conditions contained in basic contracts with customers and firm customer orders which detail the price, quantity and timing of the transfer of ownership (such as risk of loss and title) of the products.

For most customer orders, the revenue recognition occurs at the time of shipment of the products to the customer because the customer obtains control over the products upon shipment, the performance obligation is judged to have been satisfied and revenue is therefore recognized upon shipment of the products. For the remainder of customer orders, the revenue recognition occurs at the time of receipt of the products by the customer because the customer obtains control over the products upon receipt, the performance obligation is judged to have been satisfied, with the exception of sales of solar power generating systems in the “Life & Environment Group” and printers and multifunctional products in the “Document Solutions Group” for which sales are made to end users together with installation services. The revenue recognition in these cases occur at the completion of installation and customer acceptance because the performance obligation is judged to have been satisfied, as Kyocera have no further obligations under the contracts.

Revenue is measured at the consideration promised in a contract with a customer, less discounts, rebates, returned products and other items.

(17) Profit attributable to owners of the parent per share

Profit attributable to owners of the parent per share-Basic is calculated by dividing profit attributable to owners of the parent by the average number of shares outstanding after adjusting for treasury stock for the period. Profit attributable to owners of the parent per share-Diluted is calculated by adjusting the effects of dilutive potential stocks.

7. Business Combination

On January 31, 2018, AVX Corporation, a U.S. based subsidiary, acquired 100% of the common stock of Ethertronics Inc. for 15,040 million yen (138 million U.S. dollar) in cash, made it consolidated subsidiary and changed its name as AVX Antenna, Inc. The purchase of Ethertronics expands AVX’s extensive electronic product offering into the antenna technology market and will provide new and exciting growth opportunities for AVX going forward.

Kyocera has used the acquisition method of accounting to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with the acquisition method, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include expected synergies and the trained workforce.

As of June 30, 2018, the allocation of the purchase price was prepared based on estimates of fair values, as shown in the following table. The purchase price allocation of assets and liabilities is preliminary and subject to change as Kyocera awaits the completion of the fair value appraisal of certain personal and real tangible assets as well as certain intangible assets.

The result of operation of the acquired business was included into Kyocera’s condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. For segment reporting, it is reported in the “Electronic Devices Group.”

Kyocera revised assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

13. Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1:    Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2:    Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

For the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018, information under U.S. GAAP has been provided under the exemptions from the retrospective application of IFRS 9 in accordance with IFRS 1.

The valuation techniques to measure fair value of financial instruments and input information are as follows:

The fair value of Level 1 investments is quoted price in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

The fair value of Level 2 derivatives is estimated based on quotes from financial institutions.

Equity securities classified Level 3 are mainly unlisted stocks, and their fair values are measured by discounted cash flows method and the comparable company valuation multiples technique. For financial instruments classified as Level 3, significant changes in fair value are not expected when unobservable inputs are changed to reasonably possible alternative assumptions.

Transfers between levels are recognized on the day when the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. Kyocera did not recognize any transfers between levels for the year ended March 31, 2018 and for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

For financial instruments classified Level 3, there were no significant changes for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Kyocera received dividends of 15,079 million yen from KDDI Corporation, and included in finance income in the condensed quarterly consolidated statements of profit or loss for three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018.

14. Commitments

(1) Acquisition of property, plant and equipment

Commitments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment after the closing date was 13,599 million yen at the date of transition to IFRS (April 1, 2017), 34,731 million yen at March 31, 2018 and 41,298 million yen at June 30, 2018, respectively.

(2) Long-term purchase agreements for the supply of raw materials

Between 2005 and 2008, Kyocera entered into four long-term purchase agreements (hereinafter, the “LTAs”), principally governed by Michigan law, with Hemlock Semiconductor Operations LLC and its subsidiary Hemlock Semiconductor, LLC (hereinafter, “Hemlock”) for the supply of polysilicon material for use in its solar energy business. As of June 30, 2018, there was a remaining balance of 117,648 million yen of polysilicon material to be purchased under the LTAs by December 31, 2020, of which 33,532 million yen is prepaid.

After the LTAs were signed, the price of polysilicon material in the world market significantly declined, causing a significant divergence between the market price of polysilicon material and the fixed contract price in the LTAs. In light of these circumstances, Kyocera requested Hemlock to modify the contract terms including its price and quantity, and Kyocera sued Hemlock contending that the LTAs are illegal and unenforceable because of Hemlock’s alleged abuse of a superior position, which is prohibited under Japanese Antitrust Law.

Taking into consideration these condition, Kyocera withheld to order the polysilicon material for the amount stated under the LTAs during the year ended December 31, 2017 (hereinafter, “the 2017 amount”), which is 31,495 million yen in total. As a result, Hemlock issued an invoice for the amount equal to the difference between the 2017 amount and applicable advanced payment, which was due for payment by Kyocera on February 15, 2018.

As Kyocera contends that it secures the right to purchase by ordering the 2017 amount within a certain period from the issuance of the invoice, Kyocera has accounted for its rights and obligations under the LTAs, and has recorded 31,495 million yen as “other current asset” for the 2017 amount and 22,820 million yen as “trade and other payables” for the amount equal to the difference between the 2017 amount and applicable advanced payment in the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2018.

Kyocera evaluated the future material purchase commitments under the LTAs at the lower of cost and net realizable value. As a result of a decline in the profitability of the solar energy business in fiscal 2018, the net realizable value of the polysilicon material was less than the purchase price under the LTAs. Kyocera recorded a write-down in an amount equivalent to the difference between net realizable value and purchase price under the LTAs. The total amount of provision for such write-down at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 was 30,885 million yen, and 18,340 million yen was included in “provisions” of current liabilities and 12,545 million yen was included in “provisions” of non-current liabilities in the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of financial position.

15. Contingencies

(1) Assets pledged as collateral

Kyocera’s investment in Kagoshima Mega Solar Power Corporation was pledged as collateral for its debts from financial institutions in the amount of 16,820 million yen at June 30, 2018. The investment was accounted for using the equity method, and its book value was 1,893 million yen at the date of transition to IFRS (April 1, 2017), 2,034 million yen at March 31, 2018 and 1,815 million yen at June 30, 2018, respectively.

(2) Patent lawsuits

On April 25, 2013, AVX was named as a defendant in a patent infringement case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware captioned Greatbatch, Inc. v. AVX Corporation. This case alleged that certain AVX products infringe on one or more of six Greatbatch patents. On January 26, 2016, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the first phase of a segmented trial and a mixed verdict in the second phase of a segmental trial, and found damages to Greatbatch in the amount of 4,163 million yen (37.5 million dollars), which was recorded in the year ended March 31, 2016. That verdict was later vacated by the court on March 30, 2018. Operating profit for the year ended March 31, 2018 reflects a favorable accrual adjustment of 162 million yen (1.5 million dollars) related to this patent infringement case. The amount of damages will be subject to further legal proceedings including a potential trial on damages, which Kyocera expects to occur in the year ending March 31, 2019. AVX is continuing to litigate the case.

(3) Environmental matters

Kyocera is involved in various environmental matters and Kyocera currently has certain amount of reserves related to such environmental matters. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional legal and technical information that becomes available. The uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, regulatory actions, technology and information related to individual matters make it difficult to develop an estimate of the reasonably possible aggregate environmental remediation exposure; therefore these costs could differ from Kyocera’s current estimates.

Kyocera is also subject to various lawsuits and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. Kyocera consults with legal counsel and assesses the likelihood of adverse outcome of these contingencies. Kyocera records liabilities for these contingencies when the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on the information available, management believes that damages, if any, resulting from these actions will not have a significant impact on Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

18. First-Time Adoption

Kyocera disclosed the condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements under IFRS from the three months ended June 30, 2018. The latest consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP were prepared for the year ended March 31, 2018, and the date of transition to IFRS is April 1, 2017.

(1) First-time adoption based on IFRS 1

IFRS 1 requires that a company adopting IFRS for the first-time (hereinafter, the “first-time adopters”) shall apply IFRS retrospectively. However, IFRS 1 provides certain exemptions that allow first-time adopters to choose not to apply certain standards retrospectively. Kyocera has adopted the following exemptions:

Business combinations

A first-time adopter may choose not to apply IFRS 3 “Business combinations” (hereinafter, “IFRS 3”) retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has applied this exemption and chosen not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. Therefore, the carrying amounts of goodwill prior to the date of transition to IFRS were based on U.S. GAAP. Kyocera performed an impairment test on goodwill at the date of transition to IFRS regardless of whether there was any indications that the goodwill may be impaired.

Exchange differences on translating foreign operations

A first-time adopter may choose to deem the cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has chosen to apply this exemption and deemed all cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS.

Deemed cost

For property, plant and equipment, a first-time adopter may use fair value as deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has applied this exemption and used fair value as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS for certain items of property, plant and equipment.

Exemptions from retrospective application of IFRS 9

When a first-time adopter choose to adopt IFRS for the annual periods beginning before January 1, 2019 and apply IFRS 9, it may apply the previous accounting standards without restating comparative information in the first IFRS consolidated financial statements. Kyocera has applied this exemption, and recognized and measured target items included in the scope of IFRS 9 under U.S. GAAP, the previous accounting standards, at the date of transition to IFRS and the year ended March 31, 2018.

Table of Contents

Notes to reconciliation of equity at the date of transition to IFRS (April 1, 2017)

The major items of the reconciliation of equity at the date of transition to IFRS are as follows:

A. Exchange differences on translating foreign operations

Under IFRS 1, a first-time adopter may choose to deem the cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has chosen to apply this exemption and transferred all cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations into retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 16,360 million yen and “Other component of equity” increased by the same amount.

B. Deemed cost

Under IFRS 1, for property, plant and equipment, a first-time adopter may use fair value as deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has applied this exemption and used fair value as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS for certain item of property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amount of these property, plant and equipment under U.S. GAAP was 29,234 million yen, while the fair value was 18,269 million yen. As a result, “Property, plant and equipment” decreased by 10,965 million yen and “Retained earnings” decreased by 7,648 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 3,317 million yen.

C. Retirement benefit

Under U.S. GAAP, the prior service costs and the actuarial gain and loss, resulted from defined benefit plan or unfunded retirement and severance plans which were incurred during the period but not recognized as the same periodic pension costs are recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income by the amount after tax. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently recognized in profit or loss as a component of retirement benefit expenses over a period of time in the future. Under IFRS, the prior service costs are expensed as incurred. The actuarial gain and loss are recognized in other comprehensive income by the amount after tax and they are transferred from other components of equity to retained earnings directly without recording through profit or loss.

Due to these changes, retirement benefit assets included in “Other non-current assets” increased by 2,157 million yen and “Retirement benefit liabilities” decreased by 2,926 million yen. As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 31,723 million yen and “Other components of equity” increased by 35,362 million yen, which were derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,533 million yen.

D. Income taxes

Under U.S. GAAP, all subsequent changes of deferred tax asset and liability due to a change in the tax rate, reassessment of recoverability are recognized in profit or loss. Under IFRS, changes of deferred tax assets and liabilities on other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.

In addition, under U.S. GAAP, the temporary differences arising from the elimination of intercompany transaction are deferred as prepaid taxes using the sellers’ tax rates. Under IFRS, above temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax assets using the purchasers’ tax rates considering its recoverability.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 46,247 million yen and “Other components of equity” increased by 46,251 million yen.

Table of Contents

E. Levies

Under U.S. GAAP, items qualified as levies such as property tax were recognized at the time of payment. Under IFRS, they were recognized on the date when an obligation to pay arises.

As a result, “Accrued expenses” increased by 3,455 million yen and “Retained earnings” decreased by 2,370 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,080 million yen.

Notes to reconciliation of equity as of June 30, 2017

The major items of the reconciliation of equity as of June 30, 2017 are as follows:

A. Exchange differences on translating foreign operations

Under IFRS 1, a first-time adopter may choose to deem the cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations as zero at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has chosen to apply this exemption and transferred all cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations into retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 16,360 million yen and “Other component of equity” increased by 15,354 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,006 million yen.

B. Deemed cost

Under IFRS 1, for property, plant and equipment, a first-time adopter may use fair value as deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has applied this exemption and used fair value as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS for certain item of property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amount of these property, plant and equipment under U.S. GAAP was 29,234 million yen, while the fair value was 18,269 million yen. As a result, “Property, plant and equipment” decreased by 10,965 million yen and “Retained earnings” decreased by 7,648 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 3,317 million yen.

C. Retirement benefit

Under U.S. GAAP, the prior service costs and the actuarial gain and loss, resulted from defined benefit plan or unfunded retirement and severance plans which were incurred during the period but not recognized as the same periodic pension costs are recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income by the amount after tax. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently recognized in profit or loss as a component of retirement benefit expenses over a period of time in the future. Under IFRS, the prior service costs are expensed as incurred. The actuarial gain and loss are recognized in other comprehensive income by the amount after tax and they are transferred from other components of equity to retained earnings directly without recording through profit or loss.

Due to these changes, retirement benefit assets included in “Other non-current assets” increased by 1,522 million yen and “Retirement benefit liabilities” decreased by 2,617 million yen. As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 32,624 million yen and “Other components of equity” increased by 35,603 million yen, which were derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,239 million yen.

D. Income taxes

Under U.S. GAAP, all subsequent changes of deferred tax asset and liability due to a change in the tax rate, reassessment of recoverability are recognized in profit or loss. Under IFRS, changes of deferred tax assets and liabilities on other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.

In addition, under U.S. GAAP, the temporary differences arising from the elimination of intercompany transaction are deferred as prepaid taxes using the sellers’ tax rates. Under IFRS, above temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax assets using the purchasers’ tax rates considering its recoverability.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 46,300 million yen and “Other components of equity” increased by 46,243 million yen.

Table of Contents

E. Levies

Under U.S. GAAP, items qualified as levies such as property tax were recognized at the time of payment. Under IFRS, they were recognized on the date when an obligation to pay arises.

As a result, “Accrued expenses” increased by 2,089 million yen and “Retained earnings” decreased by 1,430 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 659 million yen.

F. Reclassification on the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of financial position

Under the presentation requirement on IFRS 15, refund liabilities included in “Less allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns” were reclassified into “Other current liabilities.”

Under the presentation requirement on IAS 1, “Investments accounted for using the equity method”, “Deferred tax assets” and “Provisions” were presented separately.

Kyocera has chosen to apply this exemption and transferred all cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations into retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 14,124 million yen and “Other component of equity” increased by 13,118 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,006 million yen.

B. Deemed cost

Under IFRS 1, for property, plant and equipment, a first-time adopter may use fair value as deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. Kyocera has applied this exemption and used fair value as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS for certain item of property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amount of these property, plant and equipment under U.S. GAAP was 29,188 million yen, while the fair value was 18,266 million yen. As a result, “Property, plant and equipment” decreased by 10,922 million yen and “Retained earnings” decreased by 7,618 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 3,304 million yen.

C. Retirement benefit

Under U.S. GAAP, the prior service costs and the actuarial gain and loss, resulted from defined benefit plan or unfunded retirement and severance plans which were incurred during the period but not recognized as the same periodic pension costs are recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income by the amount after tax. The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently recognized in profit or loss as a component of retirement benefit expenses over a period of time in the future. Under IFRS, the prior service costs are expensed as incurred. The actuarial gain and loss are recognized in other comprehensive income by the amount after tax and they are transferred from other components of equity to retained earnings directly without recording through profit or loss.

Due to these changes, retirement benefit assets included in “Other non-current assets” increased by 3,767 million yen and “Retirement benefit liabilities” increased by 389 million yen. As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 25,547 million yen and “Other components of equity” increased by 28,445 million yen, which were derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,349 million yen.

D. Income taxes

Under U.S. GAAP, all subsequent changes of deferred tax asset and liability due to a change in the tax rate, reassessment of recoverability are recognized in profit or loss. Under IFRS, changes of deferred tax assets and liabilities on other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.

In addition, under U.S. GAAP, the temporary differences arising from the elimination of intercompany transaction are deferred as prepaid taxes using the sellers’ tax rates. Under IFRS, above temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax assets using the purchasers’ tax rates considering its recoverability.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by 47,685 million yen and “Other components of equity” increased by 46,200 million yen.

Table of Contents

E. Levies

Under U.S. GAAP, items qualified as levies such as property tax were recognized at the time of payment. Under IFRS, they were recognized on the date when an obligation to pay arises.

As a result, “Accrued expenses” increased by 3,455 million yen and “Retained earnings” decreased by 2,398 million yen, which was derived after deducting adjustments to deferred taxes of 1,052 million yen.

F. Reclassification on the consolidated statement of financial position

Under the presentation requirement on IFRS 15, refund liabilities included in “Less allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns” were reclassified into “Other current liabilities.”

Under the presentation requirement on IAS 1, “Investments accounted for using the equity method” and “Deferred tax assets” were presented separately.
