1. Qualitative Information
As of the date of disclosure of this quarterly earnings report, the review procedures for quarterly financial statements in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act are in progress.
(1) Operating Environment
In the nine-month period ended December 31, 2019, the global economy continued to exhibit slowing growth attributable to a more moderate tempo of economic expansion in the U.S. and ongoing economic deceleration in China.
In the U.S., although consumer spending continues to be resilient supported by a favorable environment for employment and employee income, the impact of trade friction between the U.S. and China is noticeable particularly in the manufacturing sector, and the pace of economic expansion is expected to drop. Meanwhile, a further weakening of growth is expected in Europe, owing to its weak export growth and slowdown in Germany, its leading economy, despite underpinning support from consumer spending. In Japan, the continuing trend of weakening exports and the effect of the hike in consumption tax in some parts of the economy has led to expectations of further slowdown of the economy. Among the emerging economies, China’s economy is still expected to continue slowing partly due to the residual impact of trade friction with the U.S., although stimulus by its government is providing certain underlying support. On the other hand, the economies of both Brazil and Russia are expected to bottom out, mainly due to the reduction of policy interest rates.
Despite a sense of stagnation throughout the global economy overall, any significant downside swing is expected to be averted given the trends of monetary easing in major countries and the recovery in market sentiment subsequent to the U.S. and China reaching agreement on a Phase One trade deal. However, careful attention should be given to the risk of downward pressures on the global economy caused by the spreading effect of novel coronavirus.

- Foreign currency translation adjustments declined by ¥66.1 billion, mainly reflecting the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the Australian dollar, U.S. dollar and Brazilian real.
・ Treasury stock, which is a subtraction item in shareholders’ equity, increased by ¥21.0 billion, mainly due to share buy-back.

(*1) As the crude oil price affects our consolidated results with a 0-6 month time lag, the effect of crude oil prices on consolidated results is estimated as the consolidated oil price, which reflects this lag. For FY Mar/2020 we have assumed that there is a 4-6 month lag for approx. 50%, a 1-3 month lag for approx. 40%, and no lag for approx. 10%. The above sensitivities show annual impact of changes in consolidated oil price for projects linked to oil price.
(*2) As Mitsui has very limited exposure to U.S. natural gas sold at Henry Hub (HH), the above sensitivities show annual impact of changes in the weighted average sale price.
(*3) U.S. Gas figures for FY Mar/2020 1-3Q (result) are the Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures average daily prompt month closing prices traded on NYMEX during January 2019 to September 2019.
(*4) For natural gas sold in the US on HH linked prices, the assumed price used is US$2.42/mmBtu, the average of HH price from October 2019 to December 2019.
(*5) The effect of dividend income from Vale has not been included.
(*6) Iron ore and coal price assumptions are not disclosed.
(*7) Iron ore results figures for FY Mar/2020 1-3Q (result) are the daily average (reference price) spot indicated price (Fe 62% CFR North China) recorded in several industry trade magazines from April 2019 to December 2019.
(*8) Coal results figures for FY Mar/2020 1-3Q (result) are the quarterly average prices of representative coal brands in Japan(US$/MT).
(*9)As the copper price affects our consolidated results with a 3-month time lag, the above sensitivities show the annual impact of US$100/ton change in averages of the LME monthly average cash settlement prices for the period from March to December 2019.
(*10)Copper results figures for FY Mar/2020 1-3Q (result) and 4Q(assumption) are the averages of the LME monthly average cash settlement prices for the period January 2019 to September 2019 and October 2019 to December 2019, respectively.
(*11)Impacts of currency fluctuations on reported profit for the year of overseas subsidiaries are denominated in their respective functional currencies. Depreciation of the yen has the effect of increasing profit for the year through the conversion of profit (denominated in functional currencies) into yen. In the Metal Resources and Energy business where the sales contract is in US$, the impacts of currency fluctuations between the US$ and the functional currencies (Australian $ and Brazilian Real) and the impacts of currency hedging are not included.
(2) Profit Distribution Policy
Our profit distribution policy has been resolved as follows at the board of directors through discussion in which external directors were also involved:
・ In order to increase corporate value and maximize shareholder value, we seek to maintain an optimal balance between (a) meeting investment demand in our core and growth areas through re-investments of our retained earnings, and (b) directly providing returns to shareholders by paying out cash dividends.
・ In addition to the above, in relation to share buyback toward improving capital efficiency, we judge that the decision by the board of directors in a prompt and flexible manner as needed concerning its timing and amount by taking into consideration of the business environment such as, future investment activity trends, free cash flow and interest-bearing debt levels, and return on equity, continues to contribute to enhancement of corporate value.
For the period of the Medium-term Management Plan, we have established a target minimum annual dividend amount of ¥100.0 billion, based on our assessment of achievable stable core operating cash flow, with the aim of ensuring a certain level of return to shareholders regardless of changes in the external environment. While our principal intention is to steadily increase dividends through improvements in corporate performance, we will also consider flexible ways to address shareholder compensation, provided that sufficient retained earnings is secured for future business development.
For the period ended December 31, 2019, we conducted ¥21.5 billion repurchase of its own shares.
For the year ending March 31, 2020, we currently envisage an annual dividend of ¥80 per share (including the interim dividend of ¥40 per share), the same amount as the year ended March 31, 2019, taking into consideration of core operating cash flow and profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent as well as stability and continuity of the amount of dividend.

(5) Assumption for Going Concern: None
(6) Changes in Accounting Policies and Changes in Accounting Estimates
1) Changes in Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies applied in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2019 are the same as those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the previous fiscal year except for the following.
The companies applied the following new standards for Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from April 1, 2019.
IFRS |
Title |
Summaries |
IFRS 16 |
Leases |
Fundamental amendment of accounting for lease transactions |
In adopting IFRS 16, the companies recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases as a lessee, which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of IAS 17 “Leases”. These liabilities are measured at the present value discounted using the group’s incremental borrowing rate as of April 1, 2019, and are presented as “long-term debt” (including current portion). The associated rights-of-use assets are measured either at the carrying amount as if the Standard had been applied since the commencement date or at the amount equal to the lease liability, and are presented as “Property, plant and equipment”.
In transitioning to IFRS 16, the practical expedient was chosen, the companies have adopted this standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases under the principles of IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” (hereinafter referred to as “IFRIC 4”) without reassessing whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. The companies have not adopted this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease under the principles of IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
After the date of initial application, if a contract is, or contains, a lease, leases are recognized as a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset at the date at which the asset is available for use by the companies. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to interest expense over the lease term at a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease term includes periods of an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. Note that short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value apply exemption rules of the standards, and recognize the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense mainly on straight-line basis over the lease term.
The cumulative effects due to the application of this standard were recognized on the commencement date of adoption in accordance with the transitional arrangements, the retrospective restatement of prior periods have not been applied.
“Long-term debt” (including current portion) and “Property, plant and equipment” newly recognized at the date of initial application in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of financial position were ¥272,321 million and ¥257,624 million, respectively.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the companies have used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
・ the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
・ the reliance on assessment of whether leases are onerous applying IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” immediately before the date of initial application as an alternative to performing an impairment review
・ the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at April 1, 2019 as short-term leases, and
・ the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
2) Changes in Accounting Estimates
The significant changes in accounting estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are as follows:
(Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets in the joint venture)
The Company, together with its business partners, has made a final investment decision on the Mozambique LNG project through Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1 Limited, its joint venture in the Energy Segment which owns an interest in the LNG project.
Due to this final investment decision, the joint venture recognized deferred tax assets mainly for the exploration expenses occurred in prior years, and gain of ¥13,158 million have been recognized in “Share of Profit (Loss) of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method”.
(Impairment losses for the Moatize mine business and Nacala Corridor rail & port infrastructure business in Mozambique)
Mitsui & Co. Mozambique Coal Finance Limited and Mitsui & Co. Nacala Infrastructure Investment B.V., which lend to Mozambique coal business or invest in Mozambique rail & port infrastructure business, recognized losses of ¥22,083 million as a loss allowance for doubtful debt and an impairment loss for investments accounted for using the equity method, as a result of the revisions to our various assumptions of long-term production plan due to a decrease in the amount of proven reserves regarding the Moatize mine business. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, a loss allowance is recorded by ¥12,224 million in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”, an impairment loss for investments accounted for using the equity method is recorded by ¥6,322 million and ¥3,537 million in “Share of Profit (Loss) of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method” and “Gain (loss) on securities and other investments－net”, respectively.
