Pioneer Announces Business Results for Fiscal 2009 
TOKYO - Pioneer Corporation today announced its consolidated and 
non-consolidated business results for fiscal 2009, the year ended March 31, 
2009. 
 
 
Effective from fiscal 2009, Pioneer has changed its accounting principles for

Consolidated Business Results 
In fiscal 2009, consolidated operating revenue decreased 27.8% year on year to 
JPY558,837 million (US$5,702.4 million). This was mainly the result of a decline 
in sales of car audio products, plasma displays and DVD drives, which largely 
reflected the sharp deterioration in consumer spending worldwide in the wake of 
the U.S. financial crisis as well as the impact of the Japanese yen's 
appreciation. 
    Pioneer reported an operating loss of JPY54,529 million (US$556.4 million) 
in fiscal 2009, compared with operating income of JPY9,216 million in fiscal 
2008, due to lower operating revenue and deterioration in the gross profit 
margin. In addition to this operating loss, Pioneer recorded business 
restructuring expenses of JPY24,744 million (US$252.5 million), a loss on 
valuation of investment securities of JPY14,871 million (US$151.7 million) and 
higher income taxes following an evaluation of deferred tax assets. 
Consequently, Pioneer reported a net loss of JPY130,529 million (US$1,331.9 
million), compared with a net loss of JPY19,040 million in the previous fiscal 
year. 
    During fiscal 2009, the average value of the Japanese yen appreciated 13.7% 
and 12.6% against the U.S. dollar and the euro, respectively, compared with the 
previous fiscal year. 
 
 
Car Electronics operating revenue decreased 22.0% year on year to JPY291,704 
million (US$2,976.6 million) because of lower sales of both car audio products 
and car navigation systems, partly due to lackluster auto sales worldwide. In 
car navigation systems, consumer-market sales declined year on year, mainly due 
to lower sales in North America, Japan and Europe. Meanwhile, OEM sales rose on 
the back of higher sales in Japan and China, despite lower sales in North 
America. In car audio products, consumer-market sales decreased, mainly because 
of lower overseas sales. OEM sales also decreased due to lower sales in Japan 
and North America. Total OEM sales in this segment accounted for approximately 
41% of Car Electronics operating revenue in fiscal 2009, compared with 
approximately 39% in fiscal 2008. 
    In terms of geographic operating revenue, operating revenue in Japan 
decreased 9.8% to JPY113,985 million (US$1,163.1 million), and overseas 
operating revenue declined 28.2% to JPY177,719 million (US$1,813.5 million). 
    This segment recorded an operating loss of JPY12,337 million (US$125.9 
million) in fiscal 2009, compared with operating income of JPY26,101 million in 
fiscal 2008. This was mainly due to the following factors in the car audio 
products business: lower sales, and deterioration in the gross profit margin due 
to a drop in production volume and the impact of the stronger yen. 
 
 
Home Electronics operating revenue decreased 36.5% year on year to JPY209,257 
million (US$2,135.3 million). This was largely as a result of lower sales of 
plasma displays and DVD drives. Display product sales accounted for 
approximately 38% of Home Electronics operating revenue in fiscal 2009, compared 
with approximately 40% in fiscal 2008. 
    In terms of geographic operating revenue, operating revenue in Japan 
declined 33.0% to JPY31,010 million (US$316.4 million), and overseas operating 
revenue fell 37.1% to JPY178,247 million (US$1,818.8 million). 
    This segment recorded an operating loss of JPY38,622 million (US$394.1 
million), compared with an operating loss of JPY17,921 million in the previous 
fiscal year. This was mainly due to lower sales and deterioration in the gross 
profit margin chiefly in plasma displays. 
 
 
In the Others segment, operating revenue decreased 18.6% year on year to 
JPY57,876 million (US$590.6 million) due principally to lower sales of 
electronic devices and parts, speaker units for cellular phones, factory 
automation systems and organic light-emitting diode displays. 
    In terms of geographic operating revenue, operating revenue in Japan 
decreased 12.8% to JPY37,483 million (US$382.5 million), and overseas operating 
revenue decreased 27.3% to JPY20,393 million (US$208.1 million). 
    This segment posted an operating loss of JPY3,377 million (US$34.5 million), 
compared with operating income of JPY1,756 million in the previous fiscal year, 
due to lower sales. 
 
 
Notes: 
1.Operating loss in each business segment represents operating loss before 
elimination of intersegment transactions. 
2.Effective from fiscal 2009, the patent licensing business, which was 
previously classified as an independent business segment, has been included in 
the "Others" segment because of its reduced importance to consolidated business 
results. Figures for fiscal 2008 have been reclassified accordingly. 
 
 
Consolidated Financial Position 
Total assets as of March 31, 2009 were JPY429,093 million (US$4,378.5 million), 
a decrease of JPY133,183 million from March 31, 2008. This mainly reflected 
decreases in notes and accounts receivable?trade, inventories, deferred tax 
assets, and investment securities. Notes and accounts receivable?trade decreased 
JPY34,460 million to JPY60,989 million (US$622.3 million), mainly due to lower 
sales. Inventories declined JPY19,990 million to JPY84,886 million (US$866.2 
million), mainly due to production cutbacks centered on plasma displays and car 
audio products in response to lower sales. Current and noncurrent deferred tax 
assets decreased JPY22,758 million to JPY19,581 million (US$199.8 million), 
mainly in line with an increase in the valuation allowance. Meanwhile, 
investment securities declined JPY16,899 million to JPY18,972 million (US$193.6 
million), mainly due to falling prices of shares held by the Company. 
    Total liabilities as of March 31, 2009 were JPY317,245 million (US$3,237.2 
million), up JPY14,324 million from March 31, 2008. This mainly reflected an 
increase of JPY95,188 million in short-term loans payable, and decreases of 
JPY45,397 million and JPY16,464 million in notes and accounts payable?trade, and 
accrued expenses, respectively. 
    Total net assets were JPY111,848 million (US$1,141.3 million), a decrease of 
JPY147,507 million from March 31, 2008. This mainly reflected a decrease of 
JPY131,120 million in retained earnings. Another factor was a decline of 
JPY13,850 million in foreign currency translation adjustments from March 31, 
2008, due to the impact of the yen's appreciation. 
 
 
Cash Flows 
During fiscal 2009, operating activities used net cash of JPY61,563 million 
(US$628.2 million). The main factors reducing cash were a loss before income 
taxes and minority interests of JPY99,939 million (US$1,019.8 million) and a 
decrease in notes and accounts payable?trade of JPY40,536 million (US$413.6 
million). These factors outweighed the addback of non-cash expenses, namely 
depreciation and amortization of JPY43,187 million (US$440.7 million) and loss 
on valuation of investment securities of JPY14,871 million (US$151.7 million), 
and a decrease in notes and accounts receivable?trade of JPY27,213 million 
(US$277.7 million), among other factors. Investing activities used net cash of 
JPY38,292 million (US$390.7 million), mainly for capital expenditures in the Car 
Electronics business. Financing activities provided net cash of JPY85,833 
million (US$875.8 million), mainly through a net increase in short-term loans 
payable. 
    Consequently, cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2009 were JPY63,746 
million (US$650.5 million), down JPY17,434 million from March 31, 2008.

+-----------------------+-+-------------+-+-------------+-+----------+-+-------------+-+--------------+-+----------+ 
 
 
In fiscal 2010, Pioneer is forecasting consolidated operating revenue of JPY420 
billion, a decrease of 24.8% year on year, mainly based on the withdrawal from 
the display business. Another factor is projected lower Car Electronics 
operating revenue, mainly from consumer-market car audio products, in line with 
falling auto sales. 
The Company is forecasting an operating loss of JPY33 billion for fiscal 2010, 
an improvement from fiscal 2009, despite the projected lower operating revenue. 
This improvement is mainly based on an anticipated reduction of JPY50 billion in 
fixed costs due to restructuring. 
Pioneer is forecasting an ordinary loss of JPY37.5 billion, mainly due to an 
increase of interest expenses. 
Combined with restructuring expenses of JPY47 billion and other factors, Pioneer 
is also projecting a net loss of JPY83 billion for fiscal 2010. 
We are assuming an average U.S. dollar-yen exchange rate of JPY90 and a euro-yen 
exchange rate of JPY115 for consolidated business forecasts for fiscal 2010. 
 
 
Dividends 
Pioneer positions its dividend policy as one of its highest management 
priorities. On the basis of maintaining stable dividends, the Company's policy 
is to set appropriate dividend payments in light of its financial position, 
consolidated business results, and other factors. 
    In fiscal 2009, Pioneer booked a consolidated net loss of JPY130,529 
million, mainly due to lower sales resulting from fierce competition in its core 
product domains and the global economic downturn. Business restructuring 
expenses were another factor. Consequently, Pioneer deeply regrets that it has 
decided to pay no year-end dividend for fiscal 2009. As no interim dividend was 
paid in fiscal 2009, the annual dividend for fiscal 2009 was cancelled. 
 
 
Material Events Regarding Going Concern Assumption 
In fiscal 2009, conditions gave rise to material uncertainty about Pioneer's 
ability to continue its business activities into the future, due to 
deterioration in its financial position, resulting from a sharp drop in 
operating revenue, large losses and significant net cash used in operating 
activities. In response to this situation, Pioneer believes that the uncertainty 
regarding the going concern assumption can be avoided by implementing drastic 
restructuring as detailed in the following "Basic Management Policies and Issues 
to Be Addressed" section. 
 
 
Basic Management Policies and Issues to Be Addressed 
Pioneer seeks to create new value for customers by offering innovative, 
high-quality, and high value-added electronics products, with the aim of 
realizing the Pioneer Group's philosophy of "Move the Heart and Touch the Soul" 
with more people around the world. Based on this group philosophy, Pioneer has 
formulated a group vision that serves as a reference point for the Group's 
business activities, as follows: "To become a company that encourages all its 
members to work as a team, with everyone customer-focused, integrating each 
one's professionalism in pursuing innovations one after another." 
 
 
Pioneer currently faces extremely challenging conditions, such as declining 
operating revenue, large losses and significant net cash used in operating 
activities, as well as deterioration in its financial position. In response to 
this situation, Pioneer is implementing drastic restructuring. 
 
 
The restructuring now under way is centered on business portfolio 
realignment, but also comprises measures to streamline the business framework of 
the entire Pioneer Group, and improve the Company's financial position. 
 
 
Regarding business portfolio realignment, Pioneer will position the Car 
Electronics business, with its outstanding technological expertise, product 
lineup and brand power, as a core business. In this business, we will work to 
build stronger operations that can stay on top of changes in the operating 
environment. Meanwhile, through strategic alliances with other companies, the 
Company will strive to actively create new markets and business domains in a 
timely and cost effective manner. 
Specifically, Pioneer has agreed with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to jointly 
develop hardware and software for use in car navigation systems and car AV 
products. The two companies have mutually used certain car navigation software 
technologies since 2002. 
Pioneer will also strive to expand business in China. Pioneer signed a basic 
agreement with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) to establish a 
joint venture specializing in the development and sale of intelligent transport 
systems and provision of related services as well as in the development and 
sales of car AV products and car navigation systems. 
 
 
Pioneer will develop the Home Electronics business centered on home AV products, 
DJ equipment and cable TV set-top boxes. 
Pioneer will completely withdraw from the display business after ending plasma 
TV sales during fiscal 2010. In the optical disc business, Pioneer will form a 
joint venture with Sharp Corporation with the aim of restoring this business to 
profitability by taking advantage of the strengths of both companies. We are 
currently discussing the details of the joint venture, which we plan to 
establish by October 1, 2009. 
 
 
Regarding streamlining the business framework of the entire Pioneer group, 
Pioneer is working to streamline organizations to match the new business scale 
after business portfolio realignment. 
We plan to consolidate our current network of production companies around the 
world, to overhaul organizations and structures for sales and to integrate our 
domestic network. As for R&D, we will select and focus on R&D themes that match 
the realigned business portfolio. 
Through this business framework streamlining, we plan to reduce group-wide 
personnel by around 5,800 regular employees and about 4,000 temporary and 
contract employees, compared with our workforce as of December 31, 2008, and the 
number of directors/executive officers will also be reduced. 
 
 
Regarding improving the Company's financial position, Pioneer is working hard to 
bolster its financial position. Given that it is projecting business 
restructuring expenses of JPY47 billion in fiscal 2010, the Company believes it 
must generate cash and boost equity capital. 
Through its own continuing efforts, Pioneer will work to generate cash mainly by 
reducing inventories and accelerating trade receivables collections, curbing 
capital expenditures, cutting directors'/executive officers' remuneration and 
employees' salaries, and selling idle assets. Also, the Company's fiscal 2009 
business performance comes into conflict with financial covenants stipulated by 
loan agreements with multiple banks. However, the banks have agreed to maintain 
their existing loans to Pioneer in recognition of the Company's situation as 
described above. Furthermore, Pioneer has received additional loans chiefly from 
its main banks, which have pledged their intention to continue providing 
financial support to the Company. 
In regard to boosting equity capital, the Board of Directors resolved on April 
28, 2009 to raise JPY2.5 billion through a third-party allotment of shares to 
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. In addition, Pioneer continues to examine other possible 
financial partnerships. 
    Pioneer is considering plans to raise roughly JPY40 billion to meet 
anticipated funding needs for business restructuring expenses and the redemption 
of convertible bonds, and to implement the medium-term management plan in a 
timely and steady manner. Going forward, Pioneer will consider all funding 
options in order to raise the necessary funds for boosting its equity capital 
and other uses. 
 
 
Pioneer will make an effort to steadily implement these restructuring measures 
and conduct business activities based on medium-term management plan below. 
 
 
Regarding medium-term consolidated forecasts, Pioneer is projecting an operating 
loss and net loss for fiscal 2010 in connection with the implementation of 
aforementioned restructuring measures and other factors. However, Pioneer 
expects to complete restructuring during fiscal 2010, and from fiscal 2011 plans 
to restore operating profitability in both the Car Electronics and Home 
Electronics businesses, move back into the black in terms of consolidated net 
income, and generate positive net operating cash flows and free cash flows (the 
sum of operating cash flows and investing cash flows). Pioneer aims to achieve 
consolidated operating revenue of JPY460 billion, operating income of JPY22 
billion and net income of JPY16 billion in fiscal 2012. It is also targeting 
positive net operating cash flows of JPY60 billion and free cash flows of JPY29 
billion. These figures do not include the impact of the joint venture that is 
currently being discussed with Sharp Corporation. 
 
 
In the Car Electronics business, in fiscal 2010, Pioneer plans to implement 
drastic restructuring to build a highly efficient, lean operating structure that 
can quickly respond to changes in the business environment. Under this 
streamlined structure, we will boost our earnings in existing business domains 
while laying the groundwork for future business expansion when the market 
recovers. 
In the consumer-market business, we will launch affordably priced models in the 
overseas car navigation and car AV product markets, where future growth is 
expected. We are also looking to actively expand business in growth markets, 
particularly in newly emerging economies, centering on our car AV products. In 
Japan, we aim to stimulate new demand by establishing a telematics business. 
In the OEM business, we will bolster ties with longstanding major clients Toyota 
Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Co., Ltd, as well as fulfil our duties as a 
supplier even more than before to meet the expectations of automakers. By 
harnessing proposal capabilities honed in the consumer-market business, we will 
work to expand the assembly line product and dealer-option businesses with an 
emphasis on car navigation systems. Efforts will also be focused on newly 
emerging markets that promise high levels of growth, such as China. 
In initiatives to develop new growth businesses, Pioneer will bolster 
environmental initiatives that address the need for more energy-efficient, 
compact and light products. In addition, we will expand our business domains, 
with the aim of becoming a leading company in the car electronics field. In the 
car safety and reliability domain, we will focus on raising the sophistication 
of car navigation systems by developing systems that are linked to and operate 
together with vehicles; in the services domain, we will develop business-use 
services such as fleet operation and management services; and in the information 
and content domain, we will mainly provide real-time content. 
 
 
In the Home Electronics business, specifically home AV products, we are 
positioning AV receivers, where we have an extensive product lineup covering 
high-end to middle-market price ranges, as core products. We will concentrate 
business resources on these products in a bid to boost sales. We are also 
rolling out new-market products such as built-in home audio systems that cater 
to living environments within the home through collaboration with 
housing-related companies. 
In DJ equipment, we seek to drive earnings growth by further stimulating and 
expanding the market through continuous product development that satisfies the 
demands of professional use. These efforts will build on our outstanding 
technological expertise and product planning capabilities and the trust we have 
achieved with professional DJs and nightclubs. 
As to cable TV set-top boxes, this market is seeing demand fuelled by 
digitalization, and demand for regular replacement of products in use at 
subscribers' homes can also be expected. Building on long-standing trust and our 
current market position, we seek to steadily expand business to generate stable 
earnings. 
 
 
In fiscal 2009, conditions gave rise to material uncertainty about Pioneer's 
ability to continue its business activities into the future, due to 
deterioration in the Company's financial position, resulting from a sharp drop 
in operating revenue, large losses and significant net cash used in operating 
activities. By implementing drastic restructuring as outlined above, Pioneer 
believes that the uncertainty regarding the going concern assumption can be 
avoided. 
 
 
Proposed Changes in Management (previously announced on April 28, 2009)

Notes: 
1.Effective from fiscal 2009, the Company has changed its accounting principles 
for preparing consolidated financial statements from U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles (GAAP) to Japanese GAAP. Figures for fiscal 2008 have been 
reclassified based on Japanese GAAP. 
2.Effective from fiscal 2009, the patent licensing business, which was 
previously classified as an independent business segment, has been included in 
the "Others" segment because of its reduced importance to consolidated business 
results. Figures for the corresponding period of fiscal 2008 have been 
reclassified. Previously reported figures have been reclassified to conform to 
this presentation. 
3.The Company's business is classified into three segments: "Car Electronics," 
"Home Electronics," and "Others." Principal products and services included in 
each segment are as follows: 
Car Electronics: 
car navigation systems, car stereos, car AV systems and car 
speakers 
Home Electronics: 
plasma displays, LCD TVs, DVD recorders, DVD players, DVD 
drives, Blu-ray Disc recorders, Blu-ray Disc players, Blu-ray Disc drives, audio 
systems, audio components, DJ equipment and equipment for cable TV systems 
Others: 
organic light-emitting diode displays, factory automation systems, 
speaker units, electronics devices and parts, telephones, AV accessories, 
business-use AV systems and licensing of patents related to laser optical disc 
technologies 
4.Effective from fiscal 2009, Pioneer and its domestic subsidiaries have applied 
the "Accounting Standard for Measurement of Inventories"(ASBJ Statement No.9 
dated July 5, 2006), and now these inventories are measured by means of the cost 
method, which evaluates the amount of the inventories shown on the balance sheet 
by writing them down based on their decrease in profitability. The impact on the 
Company's consolidated statements of operations is minor. 
5.Effective from fiscal 2009, "Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting 
Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial 
Statement"(ASBJ May 17, 2006, PITF No.18) has been applied. Accordingly, some 
revisions are made to the consolidated accounts as necessary. The impact on the 
Company's consolidated statements of operations is minor. 
 
 
Going concern: 
Not applicable. 
 
 
Subsequent event: 
The company resolved, at a meeting of its board of directors held on April 28, 
2009, to issue its new shares to Honda Motor Co., Ltd through a third-party 
allotment. 
(Terms and conditions of issuance) 
Number of shares to be issued : 14,700,000 shares of common stock 
Issue price : 170 yen per share 
Aggregate issue price : 2,499,000,000 yen 
Amount to be accounted for as stated capital : 85 yen per share 
Shareholding ratio of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.: 6.5%(after the issuance) 
It is expected that such issuance of new shares will be completed before the end 
of June 2009. The issue date or the closing date is to be determined at a 
meeting of the board of directors to be held later. It is also possible that the 
terms and conditions of issuance may be modified as a result of discussions with 
the party to which new shares are to be allotted. 
The funds to be raised through the issuance of new shares will be applied to 
working capital. In particular, the funds will be applied to a part of research 
and development expenses for the Car Electronics business, which will be 
positioned as a core business of the Company.

Going concern: 
Not applicable. 
 
 
Subsequent event: 
The company resolved, at a meeting of its board of directors held on April 28, 
2009, to issue its new shares to Honda Motor Co., Ltd through a third-party 
allotment. 
(Terms and conditions of issuance) 
Number of shares to be issued : 14,700,000 shares of common stock 
Issue price : 170 yen per share 
Aggregate issue price : 2,499,000,000 yen 
Amount to be accounted for as stated capital : 85 yen per share 
Shareholding ratio of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.: 6.5%(after the issuance) 
It is expected that such issuance of new shares will be completed before the end 
of June 2009. The issue date or the closing date is to be determined at a 
meeting of the board of directors to be held later. It is also possible that the 
terms and conditions of issuance may be modified as a result of discussions with 
the party to which new shares are to be allotted. 
The funds to be raised through the issuance of new shares will be applied to 
working capital. In particular, the funds will be applied to a part of research 
and development expenses for the Car Electronics business, which will be 
positioned as a core business of the Company.
