Tokyo, May 13, 2022--- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal
fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
Regarding the spread coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting from travel restriction measures by
government, Honda's production bases in Japan and overseas were also affected by suspended or reduced
production mainly due to restrictions on employees' commute to the workplaces and delays in the supply of parts
within the supply chain. Some dealers in Japan and overseas were obliged to suspend business, shorten business
hours, or reduce services such as inspections and repairs. As of the date of this report, Honda has been largely
resuming its business activities and there is no significant impact on its businesses in major countries or regions.
Honda's consolidated sales revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 increased by 10.5%, to JPY 14,552.6
billion from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, due mainly to increased sales revenue in Motorcycle business
and Financial services business operations as well as positive foreign currency translation effects. Operating profit
increased by 32.0%, to JPY 871.2 billion from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in profit
attributable to sales impacts as well as positive foreign currency effects, which was partially offset by a decrease in
profit attributable to price and cost impacts. Profit before income taxes increased by 17.1%, to JPY 1,070.1 billion
from the previous fiscal year. Profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent increased by 7.6%, to JPY
707.0 billion from the previous fiscal year.
Earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent for the year amounted to JPY 411.09, an increase of JPY
30.34 from the previous fiscal year. One Honda American Depository Share represents one common share.
Earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent for the quarter amounted to JPY 73.02, a decrease of JPY
50.53 from the corresponding period last year.

Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022
Total assets increased by JPY 2,052.1 billion, to JPY 23,973.1 billion from March 31, 2021 due mainly to increased
cash and cash equivalents as well as positive foreign currency translation effects, which was partially offset by a
decrease in receivables from financial service. Total liabilities increased by JPY 652.4 billion, to JPY 13,200.6 billion
from March 31, 2021 due mainly to positive foreign currency translation effects, which was partially offset by a decrease
in financing liabilities as well as provisions. Total equity increased by JPY 1,399.7 billion, to JPY 10,772.5 billion from
March 31, 2021 due mainly to increased retained earnings attributable to profit for the year as well as positive foreign
currency translation effects.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2022 increased by JPY 916.9 billion from March 31, 2021, to
JPY 3,674.9 billion. The reasons for the increases or decreases for each cash flow activity, when compared with the
previous fiscal year, are as follows:
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to JPY 1,679.6 billion of cash inflows. Cash inflows from
operating activities increased by JPY 607.2 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, due mainly to increased
cash received from customers, which was partially offset by increased payments for parts and raw materials.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 376.0 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from investing
activities decreased by JPY 420.8 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, due mainly to decreased payments
for acquisitions of investments accounted for using the equity method as well as increased proceeds from sales and
redemptions of other financial assets.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to JPY 615.7 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from financing
activities increased by JPY 331.7 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a decrease in
proceeds from financing liabilities and purchases of treasury stock.

Loss related to airbag inflators
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.
