Note:

Non-GAAP figures are calculated by removing or adjusting 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.

2. Background to the difference

Although Non-GAAP sales revenue and Non-GAAP revenue from semiconductors of the consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were within the forecast presented on May 14, 2019, Non-GAAP Gross Margin exceeded the previous forecast by 0.8pt and Non-GAAP Operating Margin exceeded the previous forecast by 2.7pts. The reason Non-GAAP Operating Margin largely exceeded previous forecast was mainly due to the effects of controlling costs such as R&D cost and SG&A costs.

Details that explain Renesas' announcement of financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are disclosed in the Renesas press release: ‘‘Renesas Electronics Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2019’’ issued on August 6, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release with respect to the plans, strategies and financial outlook of Renesas Electronics and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “we”) are forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. We caution you in advance that actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements due to several important factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions in our markets, which are primarily Japan, North America, Asia, and Europe; demand for, and competitive pricing pressure on, products and services in the marketplace; ability to continue to win acceptance of products and services in these highly competitive markets; and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly between the yen and the U.S. dollar. Among other factors, downturn of the world economy; deteriorating financial conditions in world markets, or deterioration in domestic and overseas stock markets, may cause actual results to differ from the projected results forecast.
