2) Business Results and Financial Position
1. Summary
Consolidated results for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the three-month
period from April 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003, were as follows:
Net sales were �153,216 million (US$1,276,800 thousand), 3.0% higher than the �
148,708 million recorded in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal
year. Operating income climbed 70.1%, from �5,986 million, to �10,180 million
(US$84,833 thousand) and income before income taxes surged 238.0%, from �3,303
million, to �11,164 million (US$93,033 thousand). Net income was �8,025 million
(US$66,875 thousand), 271.4% higher than the �2,161 million in fiscal 2003.
Consequently, net income per common share rose from �16.27 to �60.51 (US$0.50).
Average first quarter yen exchange rates for the U.S. dollar and euro were �119
and �135, respectively, as the yen appreciated 6.3% from �127 versus the U.S.
dollar and depreciated 15.4% from �117 against the euro, compared with the
previous fiscal year's first quarter. This had the effect of lowering net sales
by approximately �4.9 billion and operating income by approximately �2.1
billion.
(Sales by Segment)
The following is an explanation of sales by segment.
Electronic materials and components segment
In the electronic materials and components segment, net sales increased 4.8%,
from �118,170 million, to �123,789 million (US$1,031,575 thousand). Sales in
the electronic materials and electronic devices sectors fell due to a weak
recovery in overall demand for finished products, although demand was strong in
some areas, such as for digital audio and visual products. Supporting the
higher sales in this segment was an increase in sales in the recording devices
sector, where robust demand for HDD heads carried over from the previous fiscal
year. Sector results were as follows.
Electronic materials
Sales in the electronic materials sector decreased 11.9%, from �45,860 million,
to �40,420 million (US$336,833 thousand).
(Capacitors) Sales of multilayer chip capacitors, which account for the
majority of capacitor sector sales, decreased in spite of an upturn in demand
in a wide range of fields, particularly audio and visual equipment and
communications products, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The
year-on-year decrease reflected continuing calls for discounts from customers,
as well as the sharp increase in sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 on
expectations by finished product manufacturers of a recovery in demand.
(Ferrite cores and magnets) In ferrite cores and magnets, overall sales of
ferrite cores declined year on year due to lower demand for deflection yoke
cores and for general-purpose power supply cores in a soft TV and computer
monitor market, the key applications for the former cores. A weak recovery in
demand for other ferrite core products also held down ferrite core sales.
Magnet sales also declined, despite solid growth from the automobile industry,
driven by the increasing use of electronics in vehicles. Inventory reductions
by customers in other industries and price discounts in all markets were to
blame for the lower overall magnet sales. As a result, sales for ferrite cores
and magnets as a whole fell year on year.
Electronic devices
In the electronic devices sector, sales decreased 13.5%, from �29,844 million,
to �25,817 million (US$215,142 thousand).
(Inductive devices) Inductive devices, the largest product category in this
sector, saw sales decline due to inventory cutbacks by customers in the video
game systems sector and a sharp drop-off in orders from TV manufacturers
compared with the previous fiscal year, when the 2002 FIFA World Cup(tm) was held.
On the other hand, an expanding digital audio and visual products market,
including products like DVD players and digital still cameras, and the
increasing use of electronics in vehicles resulted in higher demand in these
areas.
(High-frequency components) Sales of high-frequency components decreased,
despite an upswing in sales volume for use in mobile phones. The continuing
supply glut prompted customers to demand price reductions that were greater
than in other electronic components sectors. Another reason for the overall
drop in sales was lower demand in fields other than mobile phones.
(Other products) Overall, sales of other products decreased. Solid growth
continued to be recorded by actuators and chip varistors used in PCs and
peripherals and in communications products. However, there was a precipitous
fall in sales of DC-DC converters for video game systems, a category that had
been strong in the previous fiscal year, due to inventory reductions by
customers.
Recording devices
Recording devices sales climbed 40.4%, from �38,341 million, to �53,840 million
(US$448,667 thousand). HDD heads saw a dramatic increase in sales on the back
of a continuation of strong demand from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and
brisk HDD sales at major customers. This result also reflected a higher market
share for TDK in the HDD head market, compared with the corresponding quarter
of the previous fiscal year. Sales of other heads also increased on buoyant
demand.
Semiconductors & others
Sales in the semiconductors & others sector declined 10.0%, from �4,125
million, to �3,712 million (US$30,933 thousand). There was a sharp drop in
sales of semiconductors for LAN/WAN applications and set-top box modems due to
the continuing low levels of investment in communications infrastructure
equipment. Another factor was lower sales of anechoic chambers for noise
control, as customers curbed capital expenditures due to uncertainty about the
global economy.
Recording media & systems segment
In the recording media & systems segment, sales declined 3.6%, from �30,538
million, to �29,427 million (US$245,225 thousand). There were several main
reasons. Audiotape sales shrank as the long-term decline in demand continued
due to the shift to optical media. Videotape sales also declined, as demand
shifted from VHS tapes to DVDs, which are rapidly gaining acceptance by
consumers. In optical media, both CD-Rs and DVDs benefited from higher demand.
The rapid growth of the DVD market, in particular, resulted in higher sales of
optical media, offsetting falling MD demand and lower sales prices of CD-Rs.
While sales of LTO-standard (Linear Tape-Open) tape-based data storage media
for computers continued to grow steadily, the other products sector saw overall
sales decline due to factors such as lower software sales.
*Linear Tape-Open, LTO, LTO logo, Ultrium and Ultrium logo are trademarks of
HP, IBM and Seagate RSS in the U.S., other countries or both.
(Sales by Region)
By region, sales in Japan decreased 4.9%, from �42,517 million, to �40,433
million (US$336,942 thousand). While sales increased in the recording devices
sector, mainly on HDD head demand, sales fell in all other product sectors.
In the Americas, sales dropped 22.9%, from �29,197 million, to �22,498 million
(US$187,483 thousand), reflecting a weak recovery in demand as well as the
yen's appreciation, both of which caused sales in all product sectors to
decrease in this region.
In Europe, sales increased 8.4%, from �16,634 million, to �18,025 million
(US$150,208 thousand). This was mainly the result of the yen's depreciation
against the euro. But the higher sales also reflected stronger demand for
magnets, particularly in the automobile industry, and CD-Rs and DVDs, compared
with other regions.
In Asia (excluding Japan) and Others, sales increased 19.7%, from �60,360
million, to �72,260 million (US$602,167 thousand). While sales of electronic
materials and electronic devices declined, this was outweighed by higher sales
of recording devices.
The overall result was a 6.2% increase in overseas sales year on year, from �
106,191 million, to �112,783 million (US$939,858 thousand). Overseas sales
accounted for 73.6% of consolidated net sales, a 2.2 percentage point increase
from 71.4% in fiscal 2003.
2. Cash Flows
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Operating activities provided net cash of �25,685 million (US$214,042
thousand), a large year-on-year increase of �15,930 million. The main
components of this change were the �5,864 million increase in net income, a �
2,752 million decrease in depreciation and amortization to �11,717 million
(US$97,642 thousand), and a �12,236 million decrease in accrued salaries, wages
and retirement pay, among changes in assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
Investing activities used net cash of �8,238 million (US$68,650 thousand), �
2,070 million more than in the previous fiscal year. The main component of this
was an outflow of �8,555 million (US$71,292 thousand) for capital expenditures,
which was �2,213 million higher than in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Financing activities used net cash of �3,378 million (US$28,150 thousand), a
year-on-year increase of �411 million. The increase in cash dividends per
common share compared with the previous fiscal year resulted in an outflow for
dividends paid of �3,316 million (US$27,633 thousand).
3. Fiscal 2004 Projections
TDK's consolidated projections for fiscal 2004, the year ending March 31, 2004,
as announced in May 2003, are unchanged for the following reasons.
* Looking at the first-quarter results for fiscal 2004, some products
exceeded expectations while others fell short. TDK believes that the many
uncertainties in its operating environment at present, including macroeconomic
trends, preclude it from revising its May forecasts.
* The average yen-U.S. dollar exchange rate for the fiscal year was
initially estimated at �120. Given that the actual average rate in the first
quarter was �119, TDK is also assuming a rate of �120 for the second quarter
onward.
* Demand for electronic components for DVD players, digital still cameras
and products in electronic materials and components for the automotive field
due to the growing use of electronics in automobiles, is expected to remain
firm for the rest of fiscal 2004. However, with the exception of these markets,
growth in demand for electronic products may fall short of initial
expectations.
* In HDD heads, the mainstay product in the recording devices sector, net
sales for fiscal 2004 may exceed initial estimates. This outlook is based on an
apparent bottoming out in demand and on first-quarter sales, which were just as
strong as in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.
* In the recording media & systems segment, TDK believes that sales may
fall below those of fiscal 2003. This outlook is premised on lower sales of
audiotapes and videotapes due to falling demand accompanying the shift to
optical media. Higher demand for optical media, including CD-Rs and DVDs, and
increased sales of tape-based data storage media for computers, a field on
which TDK is placing special emphasis at the moment, and other products are
unlikely to offset the falling demand in audiotapes and videotapes.

4. In January 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a final
consensus on Issue 03-2 ("EITF 03-2"), "Accounting for the Transfer to the
Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund
Liabilities". EITF 03-2 addresses accounting for a transfer to the Japanese
government of a substitutional portion of an Employees' Pension Fund ("EPF")
plan, which is a defined benefit pension plan established under the Welfare
Pension Insurance Law. EITF 03-2 requires employers to account for the
separation process of the substitutional portion from the entire EPF plan
(which includes a corporation portion) upon completion of the transfer to the
government of the substitutional portion of the benefit obligation and related
plan assets. The separation process is considered the culmination of a series
of steps in a single settlement transaction. Under this approach, the
difference between the fair value of the obligation and the assets required to
be transferred to the government should be accounted for and separately
disclosed as a subsidy. TDK has not decided whether it will transfer the
substitutional portion to the government. Accordingly, the impact on TDK's
financial statements, if any, can not be determined until a decision is made
and the substitutional portion of the benefit obligation and plan assets are
transferred to the government.
5. U.S. dollar amounts are translated from Yen, for convenience only, at
