Notes: 1. The translation of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars is included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate on March 31, 2025, which was ¥150 to U.S $1.
Figures for employee numbers exclude those employees on temporary contracts.
The amount of cash dividends per share for March 31. 2025 is ¥123, which is the total of the interim dividends of ¥35 and the year-end dividends of ¥88.
In the year ended March 31, 2025, although the Japanese economy continued to recover gradually due to improvements in the employment and income environment and strong inbound demand, the outlook remains uncertain due to factors such as the impact of US tariff policy and soaring raw material and energy prices against the backdrop of the weak yen. In markets related to the Company, demand for equipment upgrades is expanding in the domestic electric power market, and demand for products not using SF6 gas is increasing, mainly in developed countries overseas, and these have had a positive impact on the Company's business. Furthermore, while the semiconductor market showed signs of a gradual recovery in supply and demand, the momentum of the shift to EVs in the automotive industry weakened, which had no small impact on the performance of the Company's EV business.
Amid such conditions, during the fiscal year under review, which is the final year of Medium-Term Management Plan 2024, we have been working to achieve our targets by actively capturing market demand, focusing on businesses and products contributing to the environment, and strengthening the earnings base in overseas business. At the same time, we have promoted the implementation of various sustainability management measures, such as green strategies and human capital, and have worked to strengthen our value creation foundations.
As a result, consolidated net sales in the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, increased by 4.6% from the previous consolidated fiscal year to ¥301,102 million, operating income increased by 69.0% to ¥21,513 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent increased by 65.0% to ¥18,487 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements MEIDENSHA CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES-
Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of MEIDENSHA CORPORATION ("the Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, "the Group") have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan ("Japanese GAAP"), which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Company applied The Practical Issues Task Force No. 18 "Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements" ("PITF No. 18"), issued by the Accounting Standards Board of Japan ("ASBJ")).PITF No. 18 requires that accounting policies and procedures applied by a parent company and its subsidiaries to similar transactions and events under similar circumstances should, in principle, be unified for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The accounts of consolidated overseas subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with either International Financial Reporting Standards or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles with necessary adjustments upon consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reformatted and translated into English (with some expanded descriptions) from the consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and filed with the appropriate Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance as required by the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. Certain supplementary information included in the statutory Japanese language consolidated financial statements is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The translations of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate on March 31, 2025, which was ¥150 to U.S. $1. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations of what the Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been, or could be in the future when converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
-
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 40, 39 and 40 consolidated subsidiaries in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: (2025)
KESENNUMA KANKYOKANRI CORPORATION was included in the scope of consolidation due to the acquisition of its
shares.
(2024)
MEIDEN SHOJI Co.,Ltd. was previously accounted for as consolidated subsidiaries which was dissolved in an absorption-
type merger with the Company, and hence, excluded from the scope of consolidation.
(2023)
MEIDEN O&M CORPORATION was previously accounted for as consolidated subsidiaries which was dissolved in an
absorption-type merger with the Company, and hence, excluded from the scope of consolidation.
MEIDEN ELECTRIC (THAILAND) LTD. was liquidated and excluded from the scope of consolidation.
-
Equity Method
Investments in affiliated companies (all 20% to 50% owned) are accounted for by the equity method for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The equity method was not applicable for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Investments in 4, 4 and 4 unconsolidated subsidiaries and 3, 3 and 3 other affiliated companies, that would not have material effect on the consolidated financial statements, were stated at cost in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
-
Securities
Securities are classified based on the intent of holding as (a) securities held for trading purposes (hereafter, "trading securities"),
(b) debt securities intended to be held to maturity (hereafter, "held-to-maturity debt securities"), (c) equity securities issued by unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and (d) all other securities that are not classified in any of the above categories (hereafter, "available-for-sale securities").
The Group does not hold trading securities and held-to-maturity debt securities. Equity securities issued by subsidiaries and affiliated companies which are not consolidated or accounted for using the equity method are stated at the moving-average cost. Available-for-sale securities with no available fair market values are stated at the moving-average cost.
If the market value of equity securities issued by unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies and available-for-sale securities declines significantly, such securities are stated at fair market value and the difference between fair market value and the carrying amount is recognized as loss in the period of the decline unless the declines are considered temporary. If the fair market value of equity securities issued by unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies not accounted for by the equity method and available-for-sale is not readily available, such securities should be written down to net asset value with a corresponding charge in the consolidated statements of income in the event net asset value declines significantly unless the decline is considered as recoverable.
Available-for-sale securities with available fair market values are stated at fair market value. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable income taxes, as a separate component of net assets. Realized gains and losses on sale of such securities are computed using the moving-average cost.
-
Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value, and the Group recognizes changes in the fair value as gains or losses unless derivative financial instruments are used for hedging purposes.
If derivative financial instruments are used as hedging instruments and meet certain hedging criteria, the Group defers recognition of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments until the corresponding losses or gains on the hedged items are recognized.
However, in cases where forward foreign exchange contracts are used as hedging instruments and meet certain hedging criteria, forward foreign exchange contracts and hedged items are accounted for in the following manner:
If a forward foreign exchange contract is executed to hedge an existing foreign currency receivable or payable,
the difference, if any, between the Japanese yen amount of the hedged foreign currency receivable or payable translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract and the book value of the receivable or payable is recognized in the statements of income in the period which includes the inception date, and
The discount or premium on the contract (that is, the difference between the Japanese yen amount of the contract translated using the contracted forward rate and that translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract) is recognized over the term of the contract.
If a forward foreign exchange contract is executed to hedge a future transaction denominated in a foreign currency, the future transaction will be recorded using the contracted forward rate when the future transaction occurs, and no gains or losses on the forward foreign exchange contract are separately recognized. ("Allocation treatment")
Also, if interest rate swap contracts are used as hedging instruments and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or received under the interest rate swap contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the assets or liabilities for which the swap contract is executed. ("Special treatment")
-
Inventories
Inventories of the Group are stated at cost determined principally by the weighted-average method as to materials and supplies, and the specific identification method as to finished products and work-in-process. The carrying amounts stated on the balance sheet are calculated after devaluation reflecting reduced profitability.
-
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
The Group computes depreciation of the assets principally by the declining-balance method at rates based on the useful lives and residual values determined in accordance with the Corporation Tax Law of Japan. However, the Group computes depreciation by the straight-line method for buildings (excluding facilities attached to buildings), which were acquired on or after April 1, 1998, facilities attached to buildings, and structures and machinery of the Company's Real Estate Division (Osaki, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo), and facilities attached to buildings and structures which were acquired on or after April 1, 2016.
The estimated useful lives primarily range from 2 to 60 years for buildings and structures and from 2 to 13 years for machinery and equipment.
-
Intangible Assets
Amortization of the software for internal use is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (3 to 5 years).
And, other intangible assets (except for software for internal use) are computed by the straight-line method.
Amortization of the customer relation is computed by the straight-line method based on effected period (mainly 12 years).
-
Goodwill
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over mainly 10 years of effective period.
-
Lease
Property, plant and equipment capitalized under finance lease arrangements are depreciated over the lease term of the respective assets up to no residual values. However, as permitted, finance leases commencing prior to April 1, 2008, which do not transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee, are accounted for as operating leases with disclosure of certain "as if capitalized" information.
Consolidated overseas subsidiaries apply International Financial Reporting Standards and issue financial reports. In principle, lessees are required to recognize almost all leases as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and Right-of-Use assets are amortized using the straight-line method.
-
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Group provides the allowance for doubtful accounts in an amount sufficient to cover possible losses on collection by estimating individually uncollectible amounts and applying a percentage based on collection experience to the remaining accounts.
-
Accrued Bonuses for Employees
The Group provides accruals for the employee bonuses, based on the actual payment in the past.
-
Provision for Product Warranties
The Group makes provisions for product warranty by individually estimating the expected expenses.
-
Provision for Loss on Orders
The Group makes provision for losses on orders by estimating the expected losses incurred after the balance sheet date.
-
Provision for Environmental Measures
The Group makes provision for the expected future amount required to provide for expenditures related to environmental measures such as the processing of hazardous substances as required by laws and regulations.
-
Accounting for Retirement Benefits
Net defined benefit liability
To provide severance and retirement benefits to employees, net defined benefit liability is recorded in the amount calculated by subtracting the value of pension plan assets from the amount of retirement benefit obligations estimated.
The method for attributing expected pension benefits to periods of employee service
Benefit formula is used to attribute expected pension benefits to the period up to the end of the fiscal year.
Actuarial differences and prior service cost
Past service cost is amortized using the straight-line method over a certain number of years (10 years), which is within the average remaining service periods of employees at the time when the service cost incurred. Actuarial differences are amortized evenly commencing with the following period of calculation using the straight-line method over the average remaining service periods of employees (from 12 to 15 years).
Simplified accounting method used by small-size companies
For calculation of net defined benefit liability and retirement benefit expenses, certain consolidated subsidiaries use the simplified accounting methods under which retirement benefit obligations being recorded as the amount which would be paid for voluntary retirement as of the balance sheet date.
-
Significant Accounting Standard for Income and Expenses
The Company and its subsidiaries elected to adopt "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020) and "Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Guidance No. 30, March 26, 2021) and apply accounting policy to recognize revenue with the amounts expected to be received in exchange for the promised goods or service as the control of such goods or services is transferred to customers.
Nature of the performance obligation and a point of time to recognize revenues for respective performance obligations from the major business of the Company are described in "Revenue Recognition" (Note.17).
-
Changes in Accounting Methods
(Application of Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes, etc.)
The "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" (ASBJ Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; "2022 Revised Accounting Standard") has been applied from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. With regard to the revisions concerning the accounting classification of income taxes (taxation on other comprehensive income), these are subject to the provisional treatment set forth in the proviso of paragraph 20-3 of the 2022 Revised Accounting Standard and the provisional treatment set forth in the proviso of paragraph 65-2 (2) of the "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting" (ASBJ Guidance No. 28, October 28, 2022; "2022 Revised Guidance").
This change has no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company has adopted the 2022 Revised Guidance for the revisions related to the review of the treatment in consolidated financial statements deferring gains or losses on sales of investments in subsidiaries among consolidated companies for tax purposes, effective from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, and the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year have been prepared on a retrospective basis. This change has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year.
-
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income included in the consolidated statements of income. The Group recognizes tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
-
Amounts per Share of Common Stock
The computation of net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, diluted net income per share was not shown since the Company had no securities with dilutive effect. Cash dividends per share presented in the consolidated statements of income represent actual amounts applicable to the respective years.
-
Statements of Cash Flows
In preparing the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash on hand, readily-available deposits, and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities that do not exceed three months at the time of purchase and with insignificant risks of change in value are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
-
Translation of Foreign Currency Accounts and Financial Statements
Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the year-end exchange rates. All revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when such transactions are recognized. The resulting exchange loss or gain is charged or credited to income.
Financial statements of consolidated overseas subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the year-end exchange rates.
Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from translations of foreign currency financial statements are presented separately in the foreign currency translation adjustment and non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets.
-
Reclassifications
Certain prior fiscal years' amounts were reclassified to conform to the current fiscal years' presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
-

Significant accounting estimates for the fiscal years ended March 31,2025 and 2024 were as follows:
The Company made reasonable accounting estimates based on available information at the time of preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following is accounting estimates of the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year, that may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statement for the following fiscal year.

Information on the nature of significant accounting estimates for identified items.
Whenever there is an indication of impairment on the asset group including goodwill, the Company performs an impairment test by comparing undiscounted future cash flows of the related assets group with the carrying amount. If undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount and the recognition of an impairment loss is deemed necessary, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and the resulting decrease in the carrying amount is recognized as an impairment loss.
In this fiscal year, there were indications of impairment on the assets group, including goodwill of consolidated subsidiary MEIDEN T&D (INDIA) LIMITED, which runs manufacturing and sale of transformers business in India, and the Company performed an impairment test because of the delayed strategic progress compared with the business plan developed when the Company acquired control, due to weakening demand caused by uncertain economic climate. The estimation of future cash flows was based on net sales, gross profit margin and future growth rate of future business plan, and also, the discount rate used to calculate the recoverable amount of major assets at the end of the economic useful life for the asset group including goodwill.
Such assumptions are subject to high uncertainties due to changes in business environment and other factors, and may have a significant impact in estimating future cash flows.

Information on the nature of significant accounting estimates for identified items.
Whenever there is an indication of impairment on the cash-generating unit, the Company performs an impairment test, if the recoverable amounts are less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and the resulting decrease in the carrying amount is recognized as an impairment loss.
In this fiscal year, there were indications of impairment on the cash-generating units, consolidated subsidiary MEIDEN (HANGZHOU) DRIVE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., which runs manufacturing and sale of motor drive units for EV business in China, and the Subsidiary performed an impairment test because of the delayed strategic progress compared with the business plan developed when the Subsidiary started, due to changes in the EV business environment in China market. The Company uses the recoverable amount in the impairment test as the value in use. The future cash flows used to determine value in use was based on the future business plan prepared by the management, and include the expected number of orders received from EV manufacturers, the growth rate of the target market, discount rate as main assumptions.
Such assumptions are subject to high uncertainties due to changes in business environment and other factors, and may have a significant impact on estimating future cash flows.

Information on the nature of significant accounting estimates for identified items.
Revenue from construction contracts for which the performance obligation is satisfied over a certain period of time is recognized over a certain period of time based on the estimated progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. The progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation is mainly estimated using the input method based on costs incurred.
As the estimated total construction costs are based on project budgets, judgment of appropriate preparation and timely update of project budgets may have a significant effect on the estimated total construction costs.
Such assumptions may fluctuate during progress of construction, and as a result, it may have a significant impact on the measurement of revenue from construction contracts.

Financial Instruments
Information on financial instruments for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 required pursuant to the accounting standards is as follows:
-
Items relating to condition of financial instruments
Policies for financial instruments
It is Meiden Group policy to limit fund management to short-term deposits, and use bank loans and the issue of short-term bonds for financing. Derivatives are used only to hedge the market fluctuation risks described below and are not used for speculative transactions.
Types of financial instruments and risks
Operating claims such as trade notes, trade accounts receivable and electronically recorded monetary claims are exposed to the credit risk of customers. Operating claims denominated in foreign currencies that arise from our business operations overseas are also exposed to currency rate fluctuation risk. However, in principle, this exposure is hedged through forward exchange contracts, except for cases in which the claims are less than the balance of operating debts denominated in the same foreign currency.
Securities and investment securities are mainly shares in corporations with which the Group has business or capital alliances. Those are exposed to market price fluctuation risk.
The majority of operating debts such as trade notes, trade accounts payable and electronically recorded monetary obligations has payment dates within one year. In addition, there are some foreign currency-denominated notes and accounts payable related to raw materials purchases that are exposed to currency rate fluctuation risk. However, in principle, this exposure is hedged through forward exchange contracts, except for cases in which the debts are less than the balance of operating claims denominated in the same foreign currency.
Short-term borrowings and commercial paper are mainly used for financing operation transactions, corporate bonds payable and long-term debt is used for financing capital investment and operating capital. Borrowings with a floating rate are exposed to interest rate fluctuation risk. However, derivatives transactions are used as instruments to hedge the fluctuation risk for interest paid and to ensure that a fixed interest rate is paid.
Derivatives transactions consist of forward exchange contracts to hedge currency fluctuation risk associated with foreign currency-denominated operating claims and debts, interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate payment fluctuation risk associated with borrowings and commodity swaps to hedge price fluctuation risk associated with raw materials purchases.
Refer to the note 2 d) (Derivatives and Hedge Accounting) for information relating to hedge accounting concerning hedge instruments, hedged items and hedge policies.
Risk management structure for financial instruments
-
Credit risk (risk relating to counterparty not executing contracts, etc.) management
Operating claim balances are managed based on credit management policies for each counterparty and creditworthiness of major counterparties is regularly assessed.
When using derivatives transactions, transactions are only conducted with financial institutions with a high credit rating to reduce the credit risk.
-
Market risk (currency and interest rate fluctuation risk) management
Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge future currency rate fluctuation risk associated with foreign currency-denominated operating claims and debts. In addition, interest rate swap transactions are used to control interest rate payment risk associated with borrowings, and commodity swap transactions are used to control price fluctuation risk associated with raw materials purchases.
The fair value of securities and investment securities and financial position of issuers are assessed regularly.
The purposes, types of transactions, and approvers for derivative transactions are stipulated in derivatives transaction management policies and approval regulations. In addition, the Group has even more specific operation rules for actual transactions.
- Management of liquidity risk (risk that payments are not made on payment date) associated with financing
Although operating debts and borrowings are exposed to liquidity risk, this risk is managed through methods such as preparing and renewing cash flow planning as required.
-
Credit risk (risk relating to counterparty not executing contracts, etc.) management
Supplementary explanation concerning fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial instruments include amounts based on market values and amounts that are reasonably estimated when no market value is available. As the measurements of these amounts incorporate elements subject to fluctuation, the resulting amounts could change if different preconditions are used. Please note that for the contract amounts related to derivatives transactions included in the note "Derivatives and hedge accounting", the amounts themselves do not indicate the market risk associated with derivatives transactions.

Breakdown of fair value in each level
Fair value is classified into 3 levels depending on the observability and the importance of input which is used for the calculation of
fair value.
Level 1: Fair value: the fair value measured by quoted prices of identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Fair value: the fair value measured using observable inputs other than Level 1. Level 3: Fair value: fair values measured using unobservable inputs.
In case there are few inputs that have a significant impact on calculation of fair value, fair value is categorized in the level which has the lowest priority.

Employees' Severance and Retirement Benefits
-
Overview of Employees' Severance and Retirement Benefit Plan
The Group provides funded/unfunded defined benefit corporate pension plans, and defined contribution pension plans.
Under the unfunded defined benefit corporate pension plan (i.e. a lump-sum payment plan), all eligible employees are entitled to a lump-sum payment based on the level of wages and salaries at the time of retirement or termination, length of service, and other factors.
Since some consolidated subsidiaries which adopt a multi-employer welfare pension fund plan are not able to estimate their value of the plan assets reasonably, they account for it in the same way as the defined contribution plan.
Certain small consolidated subsidiaries in defined benefit corporate pension plans and unfunded lump-sum payment plans adopt the simplified accounting method to calculate net defined benefit liability and retirement benefit expenses.

Net Assets
Under Japanese laws and regulations, the entire amount paid for new shares is required to be designated as common stock. However, a company may, by a resolution of the Board of Directors, designate an amount not exceeding one-half of the prices of the new shares as additional paid-in capital, which is included in capital surplus.
Under Japanese Corporation Law ("the Law"), in cases where a dividend distribution of surplus is made, the smaller of an amount equal to 10% of the dividend or the excess, if any, of 25% of common stock over the total of additional paid-in capital and legal earnings reserve must be set aside as additional paid-in capital or legal earnings reserve. Legal earnings reserve is included in retained earnings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Under the Law, generally legal earnings reserve and additional paid-in capital could be used to eliminate or reduce a deficit or could be capitalized by a resolution of the shareholders' meeting.
Additional paid-in capital and legal earnings reserve may not be distributed as dividends. Under the Law, however generally, all additional paid-in capital and all legal earnings reserve may be transferred to other capital surplus and retained earnings, respectively, which are potentially available for dividends.
The maximum amount that the Company can distribute as dividends is calculated based on the unconsolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with Japanese laws and regulations.

Basic information for understanding revenue from contracts with customers
Under the standard and guidance, revenue is recognized by applying the following 5 steps. Step1: Identify contracts with customers.
Step2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step3: Determine the transaction price.
Step4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
In recognizing revenue, the Group identifies performance obligations based on contracts with customers for the sales of products, services, and other sales in its core business of Power Infrastructure, Public, Industrial & Commercial Sector, Mobility & Electrical Components, Field Service Engineering, and generally recognizes revenue at the following times when the performance obligations are satisfied:
Revenue from Sales of Products
With respect to the provision of products and services for which the Group is not responsible for installation and on-site adjustment of equipment, revenue is recognized upon delivery of products and the provision of services, when the Group satisfies performance obligations.
With respect to the provision of products and services for which the Group is responsible for installation and on-site adjustment of equipment, delivery of products, and installation and on-site adjustment of equipment are identified as a single performance obligation, and the revenue is recognized at the time the installation and adjustment are completed.
Revenue from construction contracts for which the performance obligation is satisfied over a certain period of time is recognized over a certain period of time based on the estimated progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. The progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation is mainly estimated using the input method based on costs incurred. However, for construction contracts for which the period from the commencement date of the contract to the date when it is expected that the performance obligation will be fully satisfied is very short, revenue is not recognized over a certain period of time, but is recognized at the time the performance obligation is fully satisfied.
Revenue from domestic sales of standard mass-produced products is recognized at the time of delivery, when, the Group determines, control over the product is transferred to the customer. Revenue from export sales is recognized based on the judgment that the customer has assumed the risk of the products after they have been transferred, mainly under the trade terms stipulated by Incoterms and other regulations based on which, the Group determines, the risk is transferred to the customer.
Revenue from services and other sales
Revenue from services and other sales mainly includes revenues from warranty, repair, and maintenance related to products.
Revenue is recognized at the time service is completed if performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and based on a straight-line basis or on progress over the service period if performance obligations are satisfied over time.
Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled by transferring the products or services. For the contracts which consist of any combination of products, equipment, installation and maintenance, each element is treated as a separate performance obligation and revenue is allocated to each element in proportion to its stand-alone selling price when the good or service provided has a stand-alone value as a separate product. Moreover, the consideration for those performance obligations is received within approximately four months after the performance obligations are satisfied according to payment terms separately determined, and does not include a significant financial component.
