Tokyo, July 31, 2018--- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal first
quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Honda's consolidated profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30,

last year, due primarily to increased revenue in all business operations.

increase of 2.6% from the corresponding period last year.

Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for the Fiscal First Quarter Ended June 30, 2018
Total assets increased by JPY 302.6 billion, to JPY 19,651.8 billion from March 31, 2018, mainly due to an increase in
receivables from financial services and foreign currency translation effects, despite a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents. Total liabilities increased by JPY 169.7 billion, to JPY 11,284.8 billion from March 31, 2018, mainly due to
an increase in finance liabilities and foreign currency translation effects, despite a decrease in trade payable. Total equity
increased by JPY 132.9 billion, to JPY 8,366.9 billion from March 31, 2018 due mainly to increased retained earnings
attributable to increased profit for the period, despite a decrease attributable to acquisition of the Company's own shares.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Fiscal First Quarter Ended June 30, 2018
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2018 decreased by JPY 89.3 billion from March 31, 2018, to JPY
2,167.1 billion.
The reasons for the increases or decreases for each cash flow activity, when compared with the same period of the
previous fiscal year, are as follows:
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to JPY 214.4 billion for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Cash inflows from operating activities increased by JPY 37.8 billion compared with the same period of the previous
fiscal year due mainly to an increase in cash received from customers, despite increased payments for parts and raw
materials.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 243.9 billion. Cash outflows from investing activities increased by
JPY 65.1 billion compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in payments for
acquisitions of other financial assets.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to JPY 60.3 billion. Cash outflows from financing activities decreased by
JPY 28.1 billion compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in proceeds from
financing liabilities, despite purchases of treasury stock.

[5] Assumptions for Going Concern
None
Honda has evaluated the business models within which financial assets are held and contractual terms of financial assets. As a result,
Honda has reclassified debt securities such as government bonds and municipal bonds held by certain subsidiaries from the financial
assets measured at fair value through profit or loss to financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as of
April 1, 2018.
―10―
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9 (2014) replaced the incurred loss model under IAS 39 with the expected credit loss (ECL) model. The ECL model requires the
allowance for credit losses to be measured at amounts equal to either lifetime ECL for those financial assets which have experienced a
significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition or 12-month ECL for financial assets which have not experienced a
SICR. Lifetime ECL represents ECL that results from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial asset. 12-month
ECL is the portion of lifetime ECL that results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. ECL is a
probability-weighted estimate of the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive,
discounted at the original effective interest rates.
When determining whether credit risk has increased significantly, Honda assesses financial assets either individually based primarily
on delinquencies or collectively for groups of financial assets with shared risk characteristics such as the period of initial recognition,
collateral type, original term and credit score considering relative changes in expected default rates since initial recognition.
The application of the ECL model resulted in an increase in the allowance for credit losses of JPY 4,599 million as of April 1, 2018,
which is on receivables from financial services.
―11―
(b) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
Honda has adopted IFRS 15 ”Revenue from Contracts with Customers” with a date of initial application of April 1, 2018 by
recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at the date of
initial application. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the previous
accounting policy.
Honda's contracts with customers include promises to transfer goods or services without charges such as free inspections. Such
promised goods or services are generally considered performance obligations and related sales revenue is deferred under IFRS15, if it
is deemed material, while such sales was recognized at contract inception under the previous accounting policy.
Further, under IFRS 15, dealer incentives are considered variable consideration when determining the transaction price and sales
revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur when the uncertainty
associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which results in higher deductions from sales revenue recognized
when products are sold to dealers.
The impacts of adopting IFRS 15 on Honda's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended
June 30, 2018 are as follows:

[C] Other
Honda has been conducting market-based measures in relation to airbag inflators. Honda recognizes a provision for
specific warranty costs when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. There is a
possibility that Honda will need to recognize additional provisions when new evidence related to the product recalls
arise, however, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses
as of the date of this report.
In the United States and Canada, various class action lawsuits and civil lawsuits related to the above mentioned
market-based measures have been filed against Honda. The plaintiffs have claimed for properly functioning airbag
inflators, compensation of economic losses including incurred costs and the decline in the value of vehicles, as well
as punitive damages. Most of the class action lawsuits in the United States were transferred to the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida and consolidated into a multidistrict class action litigation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Honda has reached a settlement with the plaintiffs of the
multidistrict class action litigation in the United States. As of the date of this report, this settlement is subject to
final court approval. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Honda recognized the settlement of JPY
53,739 million as selling, general and administrative expenses, which includes funds contributed to enhance airbag
inflator recall activities.
For the class action lawsuits and civil lawsuits other that the above, Honda did not recognize a provision for loss
contingencies because the conditions for a provision have not been met as of the date of this report. Therefore, it is
not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this
report because there are some uncertainties, such as the period when these lawsuits will be concluded.
