1. Review of operations and financial condition

(1) Summary of the results of operations for the nine months under review

For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, revenues of Kubota Corporation and subsidiaries (hereinafter, the “Company”) increased by ¥95.8 billion [13.1 %], to ¥826.4 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year.

Domestic revenues rose by ¥30.1 billion [8.5 %], to ¥381.9 billion. All reporting segments, which are Farm & Industrial Machinery, Water & Environment, and Other, recorded increases in domestic revenues.

Overseas revenues expanded also in all reporting segments and increased by ¥65.8 billion [17.4 %], to ¥444.5 billion.

Operating income increased by ¥1.3 billion [1.7 %], to ¥78.2 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year. The effect of increased revenues exceeded the negative impact of yen appreciation and higher pension costs. Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies increased by ¥10.7 billion [14.9 %], to ¥82.7 billion, due to the considerable improvement in the foreign exchange gain (loss)-net account. Income taxes were ¥30.2 billion and net income rose by ¥7.6 billion [16.4 %], to ¥54.3 billion. Net income attributable to Kubota Corporation increased by ¥6.9 billion [16.0 %], to ¥49.7 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year.

Revenues from external customers and operating income by each reporting segment were as follows.

1) Farm & Industrial Machinery

Farm & Industrial Machinery comprises farm equipment, engines, and construction machinery.

Revenues in this segment increased by 15.3 %, to ¥618.9 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year and accounted for 74.9 % of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues grew by 12.0 %, to ¥198.9 billion. Sales of farm equipment increased due to higher rice prices, the government’s subsidies for farmers, and rebound of sales in the Tohoku area from stagnation in the prior year. Sales of construction machinery and engines also rose substantially due to the demand for reconstruction work following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Overseas revenues increased by 17.0 %, to ¥420.0 billion. In North America, sales of tractors rose because of favorable demand trends. Sales of construction machinery increased substantially due to the growth in replacement demand from rental companies, and sales of engines also expanded steadily. Revenues in Europe increased significantly due to the effect of the tractor implement business acquisition in the prior fiscal year, while sales of tractors and construction machinery decreased and sales of engines were at almost the same level as in the corresponding period in the prior year due to the letup in demand resulting from the economic downturn and the negative impact of yen appreciation. Revenues in Asia outside Japan increased. Sales of construction machinery decreased due to a significant decline in demand in China, and sales of engines decreased owing to the reduction in output caused by the aftermath of the Thailand Floods. However, increases in revenues exceeded these declines due to the strong sales of tractors in Thailand and other countries and higher sales of combine harvesters and rice transplanters.

Operating income in Farm & Industrial Machinery was ¥78.7 billion, the same level as in the corresponding period in the prior year, as the increase in revenue offset the negative impact of yen appreciation and an increase in costs due to the business expansion.

2) Water & Environment

Water & Environment comprises pipe-related products (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, valves, pumps, and other products), environment-related products (environmental control plants and other products) and social infrastructure-related products (industrial castings, spiral welded steel pipes, vending machines, electronic weighing equipment & systems, air-conditioning equipment, and other products).

Kubota Corporation

and Subsidiaries

Revenues in this segment increased by 6.0 %, to ¥184.3 billion, from the corresponding period in the prior year and accounted for 22.3 % of consolidated revenues.

Domestic revenues grew by 4.6 %, to ¥161.5 billion. Revenues in pipe-related products slightly increased as sales of ductile iron pipes and plastic pipes rose, while sales of pumps and valves decreased. Revenues in environment-related products posted a major gain, owing to higher sales of water and sewage treatment equipment and plants. Revenues in social infrastructure-related products were at the same level as in the corresponding period of the prior year.

Overseas revenues rose by 17.8 %, to ¥22.8 billion. Revenues in environment-related products decreased. However, revenues in pipe-related products increased substantially due to sales growth of ductile iron pipes, and revenues in social infrastructure-related products also increased due to the higher sales of industrial castings.

Operating income in Water & Environment rose by 39.6 %, to ¥13.0 billion, mainly due to the increase in revenues.

3) Other

Other comprises construction, services, and other businesses.

Revenues in this segment increased by 15.4 %, to ¥23.2 billion from the corresponding period in the prior year and accounted for 2.8 % of consolidated revenues. Construction, services and other businesses all reported sales growth.

Operating income in Other decreased by 18.3 %, to ¥1.3 billion.

* The Company realigned its organization on April 1, 2012. Following this realignment, the segments that had previously been classified as “Farm & Industrial Machinery”, “Water & Environment Systems”, “Social Infrastructure”, and “Other” were reclassified into “Farm & Industrial Machinery”, “Water & Environment”, and “Other”.

(2) Financial condition

1) Assets, liabilities, and equity

Total assets at the end of December 2012 amounted to ¥1,577.4 billion, an increase of ¥89.8 billion from the end of March 2012. Among assets, notes and accounts receivable, inventories and short- and long-term finance receivables rose due to the increased revenues.

Among liabilities, notes and accounts payable increased. Additionally, short-term borrowings and long-term debt increased owing to the expansion of the Company’s sales finance business. Net assets increased because of the accumulation of retained earnings and a favorable change in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The shareholders’ equity ratio was 43.6 %, 0.3 percentage points lower than at the prior fiscal year-end.

2) Cash flows

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months under review was ¥23.2 billion, a decrease of ¥35.6 billion in cash inflow from the corresponding period in the prior year. This decrease was mainly due to the changes in working capital, such as inventories and trade notes and accounts payable, and a decrease in income taxes payable, while net income increased.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥41.8 billion, a decrease of ¥4.5 billion in cash outflow from the corresponding period in the prior year. This decrease was mainly due to the shrinkage of incremental amount in finance receivables and a decrease in short-term loan receivables from affiliated companies, which were partially offset by an increase in cash outflow for purchases of fixed assets.

Kubota Corporation

and Subsidiaries

Net cash provided by financing activities was ¥17.5 billion, an increase of ¥30.6 billion in cash inflow from the corresponding period in the prior year. This increase was mainly due to an increase in cash inflow from fund procurement and a decrease in cash outflow for the purchase of treasury stock.

As a result, after taking account of the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents at the end of December 2012 were ¥98.9 billion, a decrease of ¥1.7 billion from the beginning of the period.

(3) Prospects for the year ending March 31, 2013

The Company revised its forecasts of revenues for the year ending March 31, 2013, upward to ¥1,160.0 billion, an increase of ¥10.0 billion from the previous forecast on May 10, 2012, since revenues in Farm & Industrial Machinery are now expected to increase from the previous forecast.

Operating income was also revised to ¥107.0 billion, an increase of ¥2.0 billion from the previous forecast, in view of the steady results achieved in the period under review and the recent foreign exchange rate. Income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated companies and net income attributable to Kubota Corporation were also revised to ¥110.0 billion, an increase of ¥5.0 billion, and ¥68.0 billion, an increase of ¥3.0 billion, respectively, compared with the previous forecast.

These forecasts are based on the assumption of exchange rates of ¥80=US$1 and ¥103=€1.
