Overview

(Year ended March 31, 2023)

The economy in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 continued to see recovery in the corporate and household sectors in the U.S. In China, there was downward pressure due to the impact of movement restrictions caused by the expansion of COVID-19, and the subsequent recovery was only moderate. In Japan, gradual recovery continued primarily in the household sector. In Europe, the paces of recovery were even slower in the corporate and household sectors. There was also the impact of the rise in some material prices, high logistics costs and the prolonged electronic components shortage.

In this environment, the Mitsubishi Electric Group has been working harder than ever to maximize profitability by accelerating business transformation and its business portfolio strategy under a new business area management structure, while continuously implementing initiatives to bolster its competitiveness and business structure.

As a result, the business performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 is as follows.

Financial Position

(Year ended March 31, 2023)

Total assets as of the end of this fiscal year increased by 474.5 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 5,582.5 billion yen. The change in balance of total assets was mainly attributable to increases in inventories by 249.5 billion yen, trade receivables by 107.2 billion yen and other non-current assets by 59.5 billion yen.

Inventories increased due primarily to the weaker yen, an increase in demand for the Industry & Mobility segment and the Life segment, as well as the semiconductor and other electronic components shortage.

Total liabilities increased by 208.7 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 2,219.2 billion yen due primarily to increases in bonds, borrowings and lease liabilities by 71.2 billion yen, contract liabilities by 50.9 billion yen and trade payables by 42.8 billion yen. Bonds and borrowings increased by 35.0 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 252.2 billion yen, with the ratio of bonds and borrowings to total assets recording 4.5%, representing a 0.2 point increase compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation stockholders’ equity increased by 263.0 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to 3,239.0 billion yen due mainly to net profit attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation stockholders of 213.9 billion yen and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of 92.3 billion yen, mainly reflecting the weaker yen, despite a decrease due primarily to a dividend payment of 84.5 billion yen. The stockholders’ equity ratio was 58.0%, representing a 0.3 point decrease compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.
