(Note 1) |
Non-GAAP figures are calculated by adjusting or removing non-recurring items and other adjustments from GAAP (IFRS based) figures following a certain set of rules. The Group believes non-GAAP measures provide useful information in understanding and evaluating the Group’s constant business results, and therefore results are provided in non-GAAP base. This adjustment and exclusion include the amortization of intangible assets recognized from acquisitions, other PPA (purchase price allocation) adjustments and costs relating to acquisitions, stock-based compensation, as well as other non-recurring expenses and income the Group believes to be applicable. |

Following the acquisition of Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (hereinafter “IDT”) and the absorption type merger of IDT with Renesas Electronics America Inc., since January 1, 2020, the Group has begun the integration of business processes and IT systems, etc. as part of the “One Renesas” promotion. With these processes as a momentum, expense classifications have been revised in order to appropriately display the Group’s financial status and business performance. Changes in classifications have been applied retroactively; therefore, the consolidated financial results of the year ended December 31, 2019 have been reclassified. |
The consolidated forecasts for the second quarter of 2020 are calculated at the rate of 108 yen per USD and 118 yen per Euro, and the consolidated forecasts for the first half of 2020 are calculated at a rate of 109 yen per USD and 119 yen per Euro.
2. Background to the timing of the announcement of the consolidated forecasts for the second quarter and the first half of 2020
Due to the uncertainty of impacts from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic to Renesas’ business, it was difficult to make a reasonable calculation of the financial forecasts and therefore the consolidated financial forecasts for the second quarter of 2020 were undetermined. However, based on the information available at this time, the Group estimated the possible impacts to its business and were able to formulate forecasts, therefore making the announcement today.
As for Renesas Group’s back-end factories located outside Japan listed as a downside risk to the revenue of the second quarter of 2020 announced at the time of the financial results of the first quarter of 2020, all factories are currently under normal operation and no impact is expected to the revenue of the second quarter of 2020. In regard to demands, some effects from the weakening demand have begun to surface and expected impacts have been calculated into the consolidated forecasts for the second quarter of 2020.
The financial forecasts for the second quarter and first half of 2020 are based on the information the Group has available at this current time and includes risks and uncertainties. Therefore, the actual results may differ from the projected results forecast due to changes in several factors. The Group will make an announcement once it confirms the need to make updates to the forecasts following changes in circumstances surrounding COVID-19.
