Overview
During fiscal 2011, the year ended March 31, 2011, although the business environment saw such setbacks as rapid yen appreciation and soaring raw material prices, conditions continued improving overall on the back of a widespread recovery in the global economy, particularly in emerging countries. However, the business environment has been affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, resulting in the suspension of production and, due to rolling blackouts and other factors, a decrease in the capacity utilization ratio at some operational sites.
Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Electric Group placed greater emphasis than ever before on promoting growth strategies rooted in the advantages it has over the competition as well as on Group efforts to boost its competitiveness and strengthen its management structure.
As a result, in fiscal 2011, the Mitsubishi Electric Group recorded net sales of ¥3,645.3 billion, operating income of ¥233.8 billion, income before income taxes of ¥210.2 billion, and net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corp. of ¥124.5 billion.



Financial Position
The outstanding balance of debt and corporate bonds fell by ¥53.1 billion compared with the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥484.4 billion. As a result, the ratio of interest-bearing debt to total assets was 14.5%, a decrease of 2.2 points year on year. Retirement and severance benefits decreased by ¥39.8 billion. However, taking into account such factors as increases in trade payables, accrued income taxes and accrued expenses by ¥64.1 billion, ¥24.2 billion and ¥11.3 billion, respectively, total liabilities rose by ¥29.8 billion to ¥2,223.7 billion.


Capital Expenditures

In line with its policy of expanding and accelerating performance by implementing Balanced Corporate Management while pursuing further growth, the Mitsubishi Electric Group aims to realize its growth strategies as it increases profitability. To that end, the Group directed its capital investment mainly toward the areas of energy and electric systems, factory automation equipment, automotive products and power devices. At the same time the Group continued to reinforce its solid business platform through the careful selection and concentration of investments.
Cash Flows

In the year ended March 31, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥327.6 billion, while net cash used in investing activities was ¥145.6 billion. As a result, free cash flow was an inflow of ¥182.0 billion, down ¥13.7 billion compared with the previous fiscal year. Taken into account along with net cash used in financing activities of ¥89.2 billion, fiscal year-end cash and cash equivalents amounted to ¥472.1 billion, an increase of ¥80.9 billion year on year.
