Consolidated Results

Net sales from groupwide operations in fiscal 2013 increased 19.0% over the previous fiscal year, to 2,309.3 billion yen.

Gross profit, benefiting from the increase in net sales, significantly increased 71.7%, to 594.0 billion yen. The organic growth rate was 7.7%. Looking at gross profit by segment, the Advertising segment posted an increase of 76.6%, to 571.3 billion yen, buoyed by the inclusion of revenue from Aegis Group plc (“Aegis”) in fiscal 2013 after it joined the Group in the previous fiscal year. The Information Services segment saw growth of 4.0%, to 22.8 billion yen, primarily due to favorable demand for the financial solutions of Information Services International-Dentsu, Ltd. The Other Business segment showed a 5.4% decrease, to 3.5 billion yen.

Selling, general and administrative expenses significantly increased, by 81.8%, to 522.5 billion yen, owing to the addition of Aegis to the Dentsu Group as well as an increase in amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Operating income climbed 22.3%, to 71.4 billion yen, as the increase in gross profit exceeded that of selling, general and administrative expenses, and net income rose 6.8%, to 38.8 billion yen.

Financial Position

The consolidated balance sheet for fiscal 2013, ended March 31, 2014, reflects a huge impact from the acquisition of Aegis.

Current assets settled at 1,368.3 billion yen, up 21.9%, with trade receivables, including Aegis’s notes receivable−trade, comprising nearly the entire amount. Total fixed assets amounted to 1,269.9 billion yen, up 17.3%, largely due to the effect of exchange rate fluctuations (weaker yen). The effect of exchange rate fluctuations is presented in the line item “foreign currency translation adjustments” in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Current liabilities reached 1,253.2 billion yen, down 4.9%, as the payables for the Aegis acquisition, which were booked at the end of the previous fiscal year, was paid in April 2013 against the addition of Aegis’s operating debts. Long-term liabilities jumped 70.6%, to 476.5 billion yen, mainly due to a significant increase in debts to cover the Aegis acquisition.

Total shareholders’ equity came to 715.8 billion yen, up 25.5%, primarily because of a capital increase.

In the end, total assets were considerably higher than a year earlier—up 19.6%—to 2,638.3 billion yen, largely reflecting exchange rate fluctuations and the consolidation of Aegis.

Interest-bearing debt stood at 342.5 billion yen at March 31, 2014, but with 228.6 billion yen from cash and deposits and marketable securities, net interest-bearing debt was 113.8 billion yen. Applying fiscal 2013 EBITDA of 130.8 billion yen, the net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA ratio was 0.87; and applying equity of 908.4 billion yen, as of March 31, 2014, the net debt/equity ratio was 0.13.

Cash Flows

In fiscal 2013, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to 97.5 billion yen. Vigorous investing activities, particularly the Aegis acquisition, led to a high level of net cash used in investing activities—318.0 billion yen. Net cash provided by financing activities rose 231.8 billion yen, to 226.5 billion yen, primarily due to proceeds from long-term debt, disposal of treasury shares and issuance of common shares.

Dividends

Dividends were raised 1 yen compared with the previous fiscal year, for an annual dividend of 33 yen per share. The payout ratio improved to 23.4%
