| (d) Impact on Automobile business due to changes in the EV market environment The Company has been promoting initiatives toward electrification of its automobile business with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050. However, the business environment surrounding the Company has been changing rapidly, and the outlook remains uncertain. In the United States, the expansion of the EV market has slowed due to revisions to EV incentives and the easing of fossil fuel regulations, resulting in impacts such as a decrease in EV sales volume and an increase in sales incentives. Given the changes in the market environment, as part of the revision of its product launch plans, the Company decided during the year ended March 31, 2026 to cancel the launch and development of a certain EV model, and to discontinue production or reduce production volume for EV models jointly developed under a certain alliance agreement. Furthermore, on March 12, 2026, the Company reassessed its automobile electrification strategy and made additional decisions, including the cancellation of development and market launch of certain EV models that had been planned for production in North America. In addition, for certain EV models jointly developed with a joint venture of the Company and scheduled to be manufactured by the Company’s subsidiary in North America, the joint venture decided to cancel their development and market launch. In China, while the EV market continues to grow, competition has intensified due to the rapid emergence of new EV manufacturers. Under such a challenging and competitive environment, the Company has also revised its product launch plans for certain EV models. As a result, for the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company and its certain consolidated subsidiaries recognized losses and expenses of ¥1,047,918 million in cost of sales, ¥7,889 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, ¥397,870 million in research and development expenses, and ¥124,128 million in share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated statements of income. These losses and expenses are included in Automobile business. The breakdown of these losses and expenses is as follows. Impairment losses and losses on disposal of non-financial assets Impairment losses (¥521,377 million) and losses on disposal (¥331,426 million) of non-financial assets mainly consist of the following items and are recorded in cost of sales of ¥454,933 million and research and development expenses of ¥397,870 million in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2026.
|
- |
Impairment losses (¥521,377 million): Impairment losses mainly on property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets (including manufacturing equipment) related to EV models in North America for which the Company decided to discontinue production or cancel development and market launch, as well as impairment losses on intangible assets (capitalized development costs) related to EV models discontinued in North America and certain EV models in China. The recoverable amount of these non-financial assets is measured at fair value less costs of disposal; however, as the assets cannot be practically sold or repurposed, the Company assessed the fair value less costs of disposal as zero. A Level 3 fair value hierarchy is assigned since observable inputs are not available. |
|
- |
Losses on disposal (¥331,426 million): Losses resulting from derecognition of intangible assets (capitalized development costs) related to EV models in North America for which development was canceled prior to market launch. | For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company reached an agreement with the counterparty sharing control of the joint venture regarding compensation for the expenditures incurred by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary in North America, including investments in dedicated production equipment for EV models for which the joint venture decided to cancel development and market launch. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary in North America recognized the compensation from the joint venture amounting to ¥66,492 million, in other receivables, which is presented within trade receivables in the consolidated statements of financial position and is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, the reimbursement costs recognized by the joint venture are included in the share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method. Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method (¥124,128 million) includes, in addition to the reimbursement costs recognized by the joint venture described above, impairment losses of ¥90,882 million on investments accounted for using the equity method related to certain joint ventures in China. Provisions for EV-related losses Provisions for EV-related losses include provisions recognized due to changes in the EV market environment and the reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy. Additional provisions (¥667,366 million) mainly consist of the following items:
|
- |
Additional provisions of ¥106,296 million were recognized for an onerous contract under the alliance agreement, primarily due to a shift in the United States government policy, including the imposition of tariffs, the elimination of tax incentives for EV purchases, and the easing of emissions regulations, as well as a reduction in production volume, which resulted in decreased economic benefits and increased costs. |
|
- |
Additional provisions of ¥561,070 million were recognized for losses or expenses arising from contracts entered into with other parties in relation to EV models, including compensation related to alliance agreements and contracts for parts supply and procurement. | For information on subsequent event related to the reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy, see note 31.
