1. Qualitative Information

As of the date of disclosure of this quarterly earnings report, the review procedures for quarterly financial statements in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act are in progress.

(1) Operating Environment

The following is an overview of the operating environment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, and afterwards.

On the whole, advanced nations experienced economic recovery and disinflation while emerging nations experienced economic slowdown and high inflation, with gaps between the two becoming notable in terms of the economy and prices.

Although the U.S. economy suffered a greater-than-expected fall in GDP from January to March due to a severe cold snap, economic fundamentals remained strong as evidenced by steady employment growth, an upturn in the housing market, the wealth effect generated by higher stock prices, and robust corporate earnings. These effects are expected to gradually accelerate U.S. economic growth throughout the second half of the year.

In the Japanese economy, the increased demand prior to the consumption tax hike in April 2014 exceeded previous forecast and there has been consequent downturn in demand from April. Even so, the resultant economic slowdown is forecast to be only temporary mainly due to strong employment and income environment, yen depreciation, and higher stock prices.

In Europe, although the economy has finally bottomed out, economic growth is expected to remain low for the time being reflecting a continuation in the harsh employment situation, heightened deflation concerns due to a substantial gap between supply and demand, and a slump in domestic demand.

In China, government policies that take into account both avoiding economic downturn through fiscal measures and structural reforms are continuing. Although an economic upturn seems unlikely, China is forecast to maintain a certain degree of economic growth in the future.

Looking at other emerging nations, currencies and stock prices strengthened due to eased concerns about a dramatic outflow of funds following the start of scaling back by the U.S. of its third round of quantitative easing (QE3), but slowness in improvement of economic fundamentals such as current account deficits, fiscal deficits and inflation remains a cause for concern.

Turning to current conditions in commodities markets, prices softened due to persistent concerns about a fall in the economic growth rate of China. The spot reference price for iron ore CFR North China (Fe 62%) temporarily fell below the US$90-per-ton level in June. Although the Dubai Crude spot price rose at some points due to heightened geopolitical risks such as problems in Iraq, the price remained stable around US$105 per barrel.

The global economy faces risk factors including slower economic growth in China, heightened geopolitical risks, and the outflow of funds from emerging countries affected by U.S. monetary policy. Nevertheless, we believe that economic growth in the U.S. and other advanced nations will contribute to pull the global economy out of the standstill it experienced in the first half of the year, and the recovery will gradually gain momentum.

Inventories increased by ¥51.3 billion, mainly due to a seasonal increase at Multigrain Trading AG. As of June 30, 2014, assets of ¥122.1 billion and liabilities of ¥61.8 billion were transferred to the assets held for sale and liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale accounts, respectively, due to the planned merger of domestic construction steel and metal scrap businesses of Mitsui & Co., Steel Ltd. with Metal One Structural Steel & Resource Corporation.

Total current liabilities as of June 30, 2014 were ¥2,945.5 billion, a decline of ¥39.2 billion from ¥2,984.7 billion as of March 31, 2014. Current portion of long-term debt declined by ¥51.7 billion due to repayment, while short-term debt increased by ¥31.7 billion.

As a result, working capital, or current assets less current liabilities, as of June 30, 2014, totaled ¥1,550.8 billion, an increase of ¥70.1 billion from ¥1,480.7 billion as of March 31, 2014.

  • Investments accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2014 was ¥2,520.2 billion, an increase of ¥71.4 billion from ¥2,448.8 billion as of March 31, 2014. A major factor was an increase of ¥70.1 billion due to an acquisition of a 20% stake in VLI S.A., which is engaged in integrated freight transportation in Brazil.

Furthermore, factors that do not involve cash flow included a decline of ¥19.3 billion resulting from foreign currency exchange fluctuations despite a net increase of ¥4.6 billion corresponding to the profit of equity method (net of ¥59.7 billion in dividends received from equity accounted companies).

  • Other investments as of June 30, 2014 were ¥1,558.1 billion, an increase of ¥3.4 billion from ¥1,554.7 billion as of March 31, 2014, mainly due to the following factors:

- A ¥25.1 billion net increase due to valuation on financial assets measured at FVTOCI; and

- A ¥10.8 billion net decline due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

  • Property, plant and equipment as of June 30, 2014 totaled ¥2,023.8 billion, an increase of ¥16.3 billion from ¥2,007.5 billion as of March 31, 2014, mainly due to an increase of ¥9.9 billion (including a foreign exchange translation gain of ¥1.3 billion) at iron ore mining operations in Australia.

Total non-current liabilities as of June 30, 2014 totaled ¥4,472.0 billion, an increase of ¥65.6 billion from ¥4,406.4 billion as of March 31, 2014. Long-term debt, less current portion as of June 30, 2014 was ¥3,550.2 billion, an increase of ¥81.9 billion from ¥3,468.3 billion as of March 31, 2014, mainly due to an increase in long-term borrowings at the Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale gas and oil producing operations in the United States.

Total equity attributable to owners of the parent as of June 30, 2014 was ¥3,878.6 billion, an increase of ¥62.8 billion from ¥3,815.8 billion as of March 31, 2014. Major components included:

  • Treasury stock declined by ¥50.1 billion, due to a cancellation;
  • Retained earnings increased by ¥15.4 billion which was partially offset by a payment of dividend and a cancellation of treasury stock; and
  • Other components of equity as of June 30, 2014 declined by ¥2.7 billion to ¥763.9 billion from ¥766.6 billion as of March 31, 2014, mainly due to the following factors:

- Foreign currency translation adjustments declined by ¥12.9 billion, reflecting the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen; and

- Financial assets measured at FVTOCI increased by ¥14.8 billion reflecting the higher stock prices.

Net interest-bearing debt, or interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents and time deposits as of June 30, 2014 was ¥3,230.7 billion, an increase of ¥51.9 billion from ¥3,178.8 billion as of March 31, 2014.
