Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥289.1 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from investing activities decreased by ¥139.5 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to decreased payments for additions to property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ¥243.0 billion of cash inflows. Cash inflows from financing activities increased by ¥1,195.8 billion from the same period last year, due mainly to increased proceeds from financing liabilities.

Objectiveindicators for judging the achievement of management goals

Please note that the forward-looking statements contained herein are judgments made by Honda as of September 30, 2023 and may differ materially from actual results because of uncertainties that may arise in the future, including those discussed in Honda’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2023, under “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors.”

In the six months ended September 30, 2023, Honda has formulated the Company’s integrated report, the “Honda Report 2023,” and has newly established a target for return on invested capital (ROIC)^*1^ of 10% or higher for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2031. Complementing the previously disclosed return on sales (ROS) target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, we intend to boost cash generation capabilities by fortifying our business structure. Our objective is to uphold an optimal equilibrium between strategic resource allocation for transformation and shareholder returns, with the aim of achieving sustainable growth and enhanced capital efficiency.

*1	(Profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent + Interest expense (excluding Financial services<br>business)) / Invested capital^*2.^
*2	Equity attributable to owners of the parent + Interest-bearing liabilities (excluding Financial services<br>business). Invested capital is calculated using the average of the beginning and end of the period.

Explanatory notes:

1.	Segment profit (loss) of each segment is measured in a consistent manner with consolidated operating profit,<br>which is profit before income taxes before share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method and finance income and finance costs. Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable<br>measures applicable.
2.	Segment assets of each segment are defined as total assets including investments accounted for using the equity<br>method, derivatives, and deferred tax assets. Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment and those not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable except for<br>the corporate assets described below.
---	---
3.	Intersegment sales revenues are generally made at values that approximate<br>arm’s-length prices.
---	---
4.	Reconciling items include elimination of intersegment transactions and balances as well as unallocated<br>corporate assets. Unallocated corporate assets, included in reconciling items as of September 30, 2022 and 2023 amounted to ¥1,569,670 million and ¥1,605,913 million, respectively, which consist primarily of the Company’s<br>cash and cash equivalents and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Honda recognizes general estimated warranty costs at the time products are sold to customers. Honda also recognizes specific<br>estimated warranty program costs when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These provisions are<br>estimated based on historical warranty claim experience with consideration given to the expected level of future warranty costs, including current sales trends, the expected number of units to be affected and the estimated average repair cost per<br>unit for warranty claims. Provisions for product warranties are utilized for expenditures based on the demand from customers and dealers.

(9) Fair Value

(a) Definition of Fair Value Hierarchy

Honda uses a three-level hierarchy when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:

Level 1	Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date
Level 2	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Honda recognizes the transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

(b) Method of Fair Value Measurement

The fair values of assets and liabilities are determined based on relevant market information and through the use of an appropriate valuation method.

The measurement methods and assumptions used in the measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:

(Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables)

The fair values approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities.

(Receivables from financial services)

The fair value of receivables from financial services is measured primarily by discounting future cash flows using the current interest rates applicable for these receivables of similar remaining maturities. Fair value measurement for receivables from financial services is classified as Level 3.

(Debt securities)

Debt securities consist mainly of mutual funds, corporate bonds, local bonds and auction rate securities.

The fair value of mutual funds with an active market is measured by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for mutual funds with an active market is classified as Level 1.

The fair values of corporate bonds and local bonds are measured based on proprietary pricing models provided by specialists and/or market makers and the models obtain a wide array of market observable inputs such as credit ratings and discount rates. Fair value measurements for corporate bonds and local bonds are classified as Level 2.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

The subsidiary’s auction rate securities are A to AAA rated and are insured by qualified guarantee agencies, and reinsured by the Secretary of Education and the United States government, and guaranteed at approximately 95% by the United States government. To measure fair value of auction rate securities, Honda uses a third-party-developed valuation model which obtains a wide array of market observable inputs, as well as unobservable inputs including probability of passing or failing auction at each auction. Fair value measurement for auction rate securities is classified as Level 3.

(Equity securities)

The fair value of equity securities with an active market is measured by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for equity securities with an active market is classified as Level 1.

The fair value of equity securities with no active market is measured mainly by using a discounted cash flow method, a comparable company valuation method and other appropriate valuation methods. Fair value measurement for equity securities with no active market is classified as Level 3. In addition, in the case that cost represents the best estimate of fair value, fair value for the equity securities with no active market is measured at cost.

Cash flow forecasts and discount rate for the discounted cash flow model and price book-value ratio (PBR) of a comparable company for the comparable company valuation method are used as significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of equity securities classified as Level 3. The fair value increases (decreases) as Cash flow forecasts increase (decrease), discount rate declines (rises) and PBR of a comparable company rises (declines). Such fair value measurements are conducted in accordance with the group accounting policy approved by the appropriate person of authority and based upon valuation methods determined by personnel in accounting divisions of Honda.

(Derivatives)

Derivatives consist mainly of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts, currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements.

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are measured by using market observable inputs such as spot exchange rates, discount rates and implied volatility. The fair values of currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are measured by discounting future cash flows using market observable inputs such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Fair value measurements for these derivatives are classified as Level 2.

The credit risk of the counterparties is considered in the valuation of derivatives.

(Financing liabilities)

The fair value of financing liabilities is measured by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently available for liabilities of similar terms and remaining maturities. Fair value measurement of financing liabilities is mainly classified as Level 2.

(10) Contingent Liabilities

Claims and Lawsuits

Honda is subject to potential liability under various lawsuits and claims. Honda recognizes a provision for loss contingencies when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Honda reviews these pending lawsuits and claims periodically and adjusts the amounts recognized for these contingent liabilities, if necessary, by considering the nature of lawsuits and claims, the progress of the case and the opinions of legal counsel.

With respect to product liability, personal injury claims or lawsuits, Honda believes that any judgment that may be recovered by any plaintiff for general and special damages and court costs will be adequately covered by Honda’s insurance and provision. Punitive damages are claimed in certain of these lawsuits.

After consultation with legal counsel, and taking into account all known factors pertaining to existing lawsuits and claims, Honda believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and pending claims should not result in liability to Honda that would be likely to have an adverse material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Loss related to airbag inflators

Honda has been conducting market-based measures in relation to airbag inflators. Honda recognizes a provision for specific warranty costs when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. There is a possibility that Honda will need to recognize additional provisions when new evidence related to the product recalls arises, however, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this report.
