However, we expect investors to see the following in a positive light: (1) the high likelihood of Panasonic attaining its FY3/14 targets (Jan–Mar OP upside/conservative forex assumptions), and (2) the restructuring plan running ahead of schedule (booking of impairment charges on PDP assets in FY3/13; ahead-of-schedule restructuring in FY3/14). ■ Near-term share price impact: Slightly positive ■ We expect investor concerns on Panasonic’s restructuring schedule to ease if the one- off gain of ¥79.8bn stemming from the amended pension plan the company announced recently and the scope for potential earnings upside in FY3/14 further speed up the restructuring process. ■ However, the risk of balanced contraction stemming from a shrinking capex outlay represents a key concern (¥310.0bn in FY3/13; ¥200.0bn/year from FY3/14-16). At the 30 May business briefing, we intend to confirm details on how Panasonic intends to maintain its current sales and workforce levels while it scales down its asset size and the process through which it will transform to such a business model. ■ Key points of FY3/13 results and FY3/14 guidance ■ Jan–Mar OP of ¥39.0bn finished roughly ¥20.0bn ahead of guidance. We believe the upside is mainly attributable to reduced fixed costs. ■ Panasonic’s FY3/14 guidance calls for OP of ¥250.0bn, and NP of ¥50.0bn. The ¥120.0bn restructuring costs appear somewhat steep relative to the amount we anticipated based on the medium-term plan announced in March. ■ Panasonic’s forex assumptions of ¥85/$, ¥110/€, and ¥13.7/RMB appear conservative. The current forex rates imply an upside of ¥30.0bn versus guidance (each ¥1 decline vs. the above currencies boosts annual OP by ¥1.0bn vs. the dollar, ¥1.7bn
