Cautionary Statement

The Mitsubishi Electric Group (hereafter "the Group") is involved in development, manufacture and sales in a wide range of fields including Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Information and Communication Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances, and these operations extend globally, not only inside Japan, but also in North America, Europe, Asia and other regions. While the statements herein are based on certain assumptions and premises that the Group trusts and considers to be reasonable under the circumstances on the date of announcement, actual financial standings and operating results are subject to change due to any of the factors as contemplated hereunder and/or any additional factor unforeseeable as of the date of this announcement. Such factors materially affecting the expectations expressed herein shall include but are not limited to the following:

 

(1)  Important trends

The Group's operations may be affected by trends in the global economy, social conditions, laws, tax codes and regulations.

(2)  Foreign currency exchange rates

Fluctuations in foreign currency markets may affect the Group's sales of exported products and purchases of imported materials that are denominated in U.S. dollars or euros, as well as its Asian production bases' sales of exported products and purchases of imported materials that are denominated in foreign currencies.

(3)  Stock markets

A fall in stock market prices may cause a decline in value of the Group's marketable securities and pension assets.

(4)  Supply/demand balance for products and procurement conditions for materials and components

A decline in prices and shipments due to changes in the supply/demand balance, as well as an increase in material prices due to a worsening of material and component procurement conditions, may adversely affect the Group's performance.

(5)  Fund raising

An increase in interest rates, the yen interest rate in particular, would increase the Group's interest expenses.

(6)  Significant patent matters

Important patent filings, licensing, copyrights and patent-related disputes may adversely affect related businesses.

(7)  Environmental legislation or relevant issues

The Group may incur losses or expenses owing to changes in environmental legislation or the occurrence of environmental issues. Such changes in legislation or the occurrence of environmental issues may also impact manufacturing and all corporate activities of the Group.

(8)  Flaws or defects in products or services

The Group may incur losses or expenses resulting out of flaws or defects in products or services, and the lowered reputation of the quality of all its products and services may affect the entire Group.

(11) Business restructuring

The Group may record losses due to restructuring measures.

(12) Information security

The performance of the Group may be affected by computer virus infections, unauthorized access and other unpredictable incidents that lead to the loss or leakage of personal information held by the Group or confidential information regarding the Group's business such as its technology, sales and other operations.
