Tokyo, January 26, 2012 - NEC Corporation today announced revisions to the consolidated financial forecasts and dividend forecasts announced on October 27, 2011 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 as well as the recording of business restructuring costs.

2. Reasons for Financial Forecast Revisions

As challenging business conditions continue, NEC forecasts sales of 3,100.0 billion yen, 150.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast, mainly due to a decrease in sales in the Carrier Network business as a result of investment restraint in international markets, a decrease in sales from a decline in mobile phone shipments in the Personal Solutions business and the impact of flooding in Thailand on the Platform business.

NEC forecasts operating income of 70.0 billion yen, 20.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast, mainly due to loss from decreased sales in the Personal Solutions business and Platform business. NEC also forecasts ordinary income of 35.0 billion yen, 20.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast, mainly due to worsening operating income (loss).

NEC forecasts net loss of 100.0 billion yen, 115.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast, mainly due to worsening ordinary income (loss), business restructuring costs for the reform of cost structure, and an increase in income taxes due to the review of deferred tax assets that reflect tax reform and financial forecasts for this fiscal year.

3. Extraordinary Loss from Business Restructuring Costs

NEC forecasts extraordinary loss of about 40.0 billion yen for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, mainly due to business restructuring costs centered on personnel reductions.

4. Dividend Forecast Revision

5. Reasons for Dividend Forecast Revision

Regrettably, NEC has revised its forecast for year-end dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 from undetermined to none, in consideration of the forecast net loss for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, and others.
