1. Risk Factors

There were no new material matters to the risk factors for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

In addition, there were no material changes to the risk factors described in the annual securities report for the previous fiscal year for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

2. Management’s Analysis of Financial Position, Results of Operations and Cash Flows

(1) Financial Results

While the global economy which had slowed down due to the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has continued to be on a recovery track, it has still continued to affect Honda’s consolidated financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

Resulting from travel restriction measures in certain countries or regions, the production activities of some of Honda’s production bases were also affected mainly due to restrictions on employees’ commute to the workplaces and delays in the supply of parts within the supply chain. Some dealers were obliged to suspend business, shorten business hours, or reduce services such as inspections and repairs. However, there is no significant impact on Honda’s consolidated financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

Honda’s consolidated sales revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased by 11.8%, to ¥10,677.0 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to increased sales revenue in Motorcycle business and Financial services business operations as well as positive foreign currency translation effects. Operating profit increased by 50.3%, to ¥671.6 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to an increase in profit attributable to increased sales revenue and model mix as well as decreased selling, general and administrative expenses. Profit before income taxes increased by 28.3%, to ¥845.2 billion from the same period last year. Profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent increased by 31.1%, to ¥582.1 billion from the same period last year.

Honda Group Unit Sales is the total unit sales of completed products of Honda, its consolidated subsidiaries and its affiliates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Consolidated Unit Sales is the total unit sales of completed products corresponding to consolidated sales revenue to external customers, which consists of unit sales of completed products of Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain sales of automobiles that are financed with residual value type auto loans and others by our Japanese finance subsidiaries and provided through our consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for as operating leases in conformity with IFRS and are not included in consolidated sales revenue to the external customers in our Automobile business. Accordingly, they are not included in Consolidated Unit Sales, but are included in Honda Group Unit Sales of our Automobile business.

Sales revenue from external customers increased by 7.4%, to ¥6,668.6 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to positive foreign currency translation effects, which was partially offset by decreased consolidated unit sales. Operating profit increased by 258.3%, to ¥188.5 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Financial Services Business

Sales revenue from external customers increased by 14.1%, to ¥2,114.3 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to an increase in revenues on disposition of lease vehicles and operating lease revenues. Operating profit increased by 3.0%, to ¥258.1 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to an increase in profit attributable to increased sales revenue.

Honda Group Unit Sales is the total unit sales of completed power products of Honda, its consolidated subsidiaries and its affiliates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Consolidated Unit Sales is the total unit sales of completed power products corresponding to consolidated sales revenue to external customers, which consists of unit sales of completed power products of Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries. In Life creation business, there is no discrepancy between Honda Group Unit Sales and Consolidated Unit Sales since no affiliate and joint venture accounted for using the equity method were involved in the sale of Honda power products.

Sales revenue from external customers increased by 28.5%, to ¥291.9 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to increased consolidated unit sales in Life creation business. Operating loss was ¥7.4 billion, an improvement of ¥1.1 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased operating costs in Other businesses. In addition, operating loss of aircraft and aircraft engines included in the Life creation and other businesses was ¥23.6 billion, an improvement of ¥0.8 billion from the same period last year.

(2) Cash Flows

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2021 decreased by ¥67.5 billion from March 31, 2021, to ¥2,690.4 billion. The reasons for the increases or decreases for each cash flow activity, when compared with the same period last year, are as follows:

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥947.8 billion of cash inflows. Cash inflows from operating activities increased by ¥121.6 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to increased cash received from customers, which was partially offset by increased payments for parts and raw materials.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥381.7 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from investing activities decreased by ¥281.8 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased payments for acquisitions of investments accounted for using the equity method as well as increased proceeds from sales and redemptions of other financial assets.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥692.1 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from financing activities increased by ¥773.6 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased proceeds from financing liabilities and increased dividends paid.

(3) Research and Development Activities

R&D expenditures at Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries and R&D expenses recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Income for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, are ¥568.7 billion and ¥563.3 billion, respectively.

The changes in research and development activities by Honda and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 are as follows:

American Honda Motor Co., Inc., our consolidated subsidiaries in the United States, made organizational changes to its automobile manufacturing-related companies and automobile development function in the United States on April 1, 2021. As a result of these changes, Honda R&D Americas, Inc. and Honda Engineering North America, Inc. were merged into Honda Development and Manufacturing of America, LLC. Additionally, in the motorcycle operations, Honda of South Carolina Mfg., Inc., which is responsible for manufacturing powersports products (PSPs), including ATV and side-by-side products, and the PSPs development function of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. were merged into the PSPs division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. These organizational changes will advance integrated operations in all areas of sales, manufacturing, development and procurement, and strengthen our business structure in North America to respond more quickly to the needs of our customers and the market in light of the rapidly changing market environment.

(4) Unit Production and Sales

Unit production in Honda and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 in Life creation business increased significantly from the same period last year. The increased unit production in Life creation business was due to suspended or reduced production in Honda’s production bases in Japan and overseas resulted from the spread of COVID-19 in the same period last year.

3. Material Contracts

Honda and its consolidated subsidiaries have not executed any agreements that are material for operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(1) Reporting Entity

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is a public company domiciled in Japan. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively “Honda”) develop, manufacture and distribute motorcycles, automobiles, power products and others throughout the world, and also provide financial services to customers and dealers for the sale of those products. Principal manufacturing facilities are located in Japan, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Argentina and Brazil.

(2) Basis of Preparation

   (a) Compliance with Interim Financial Reporting Standards

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, since the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information required in the annual consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

   (b) Functional Currency and Presentation Currency

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Japanese yen, which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in Japanese yen has been rounded to the nearest million Japanese yen, except when otherwise indicated.

   (c) Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Changes in these accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared based on the same judgments and estimations as those applied and described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared based on the same accounting policies as those applied and described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Explanatory notes:

 

1.

Segment profit (loss) of each segment is measured in a consistent manner with consolidated operating profit, which is profit before income taxes before share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method and finance income and finance costs. Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable.

 

2.

Segment assets of each segment are defined as total assets including investments accounted for using the equity method, derivatives, and deferred tax assets. Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment and those not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable except for the corporate assets described below.

 

3.

Intersegment sales revenues are generally made at values that approximate arm’s-length prices.

 

4.

Reconciling items include elimination of intersegment transactions and balances as well as unallocated corporate assets. Unallocated corporate assets, included in reconciling items as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 amounted to ¥931,069 million and ¥847,711 million, respectively, which consist primarily of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Honda recognizes provisions for product warranties to cover future product warranty expenses. Honda recognizes costs for general warranties on products Honda sells and for specific warranty programs, including product recalls. Honda recognizes general estimated warranty costs at the time products are sold to customers. Honda also recognizes specific estimated warranty program 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. These provisions are estimated based on historical warranty claim experience with consideration given to the expected level of future warranty costs as well as current information on repair costs. Provision for product warranties are utilized for expenditures based on the demand from customers and dealers.

(10) Fair Value

   (a) Definition of Fair Value Hierarchy

Honda uses a three-level hierarchy when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:

 

Level 1    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date
Level 2    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3    Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Honda recognizes the transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

   (b) Method of Fair Value Measurement

The fair values of assets and liabilities are determined based on relevant market information and through the use of an appropriate valuation method.

The measurement methods and assumptions used in the measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:

   (Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables)

The fair values approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities.

   (Receivables from financial services)

The fair value of receivables from financial services is measured primarily by discounting future cash flows using the current interest rates applicable for these receivables of similar remaining maturities. Fair value measurement for receivables from financial services is classified as Level 3.

   (Debt securities)

Debt securities consist mainly of mutual funds, corporate bonds, local bonds and auction rate securities.

The fair value of mutual funds with an active market is measured by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for mutual funds with an active market is classified as Level 1.

The fair values of corporate bonds and local bonds are measured based on proprietary pricing models provided by specialists and/or market makers and the models obtain a wide array of market observable inputs such as credit ratings and discount rates. Fair value measurements for corporate bonds and local bonds are classified as Level 2.

The subsidiary’s auction rate securities are A to AAA rated and are insured by qualified guarantee agencies, and reinsured by the Secretary of Education and the United States government, and guaranteed at approximately 95% by the United States government. To measure fair value of auction rate securities, Honda uses a third-party-developed valuation model which obtains a wide array of market observable inputs, as well as unobservable inputs including probability of passing or failing auction at each auction. Fair value measurement for auction rate securities is classified as Level 3.

   (Equity securities)

The fair value of equity securities with an active market is measured by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for equity securities with an active market is classified as Level 1.

The fair value of equity securities with no active market is measured mainly by using the comparable company valuation method and other appropriate valuation methods. Fair value measurement for equity securities with no active market is classified as Level 3. In addition, in the case that cost represents the best estimate of fair value, fair value for the equity securities with no active market is measured at cost.

Price book-value ratio (PBR) of a comparable company are used as a significant unobservable input in the fair value measurement of equity securities classified as Level 3. The fair value increases (decreases) as PBR of a comparable company rise (decline). Such fair value measurements are conducted in accordance with the group accounting policy approved by the appropriate person of authority and based upon valuation methods determined by personnel in accounting divisions of Honda.

   (Derivatives)

Derivatives consist mainly of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts, currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements.

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are measured by using market observable inputs such as spot exchange rates, discount rates and implied volatility. The fair values of currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are measured by discounting future cash flows using market observable inputs such as LIBOR rates, swap rates, and foreign exchange rates. Fair value measurements for these derivatives are classified as Level 2.

The credit risk of the counterparties is considered in the valuation of derivatives.

   (Financing liabilities)

The fair value of financing liabilities is measured by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently available for liabilities of similar terms and remaining maturities. Fair value measurement of financing liabilities is mainly classified as Level 2.

(11) Contingent Liabilities

Claims and Lawsuits

Honda is subject to potential liability under various lawsuits and claims. Honda recognizes a provision for loss contingencies 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. Honda reviews these pending lawsuits and claims periodically and adjusts the amounts recognized for these contingent liabilities, if necessary, by considering the nature of lawsuits and claims, the progress of the case and the opinions of legal counsel.

With respect to product liability, personal injury claims or lawsuits, Honda believes that any judgment that may be recovered by any plaintiff for general and special damages and court costs will be adequately covered by Honda’s insurance and provision. Punitive damages are claimed in certain of these lawsuits.

After consultation with legal counsel, and taking into account all known factors pertaining to existing lawsuits and claims, Honda believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and pending claims should not result in liability to Honda that would be likely to have an adverse material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Loss related to airbag inflators

Honda has been conducting market-based measures in relation 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 the 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.
