SANYO Lengthens Stride in the Third Quarter
SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results
for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2007

Tokyo, February 5, 2008 – SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) announces its consolidated results for the third quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2007 (Oct.1, 2007 to Dec. 31, 2007).

The consolidated sales total rose for the third quarter 1.4% to 597.2 billion yen, compared to the same period last year. For the Japanese market, while sales of digital cameras were favorable, sales of consumer-use refrigerators and commercial-use showcases were bullish, and due to dropping prices as well as increased, intensified competition in the mobile phone business, there was an overall decrease of 7.3%, totaling 229.9 billion yen compared to the same period last year. As for overseas markets, there were favorable and increased sales in digital cameras, rechargeable batteries and solar photovoltaic modules as well as strong sales in commercial-use air conditioners, increasing 7.7% from the same period last year to total 367.3 billion yen.

As for operating profit, while the sudden rise in raw materials costs has affected overall business in some aspects, through increased sales in finished goods such as digital cameras and rechargeable batteries as well as additional cost reductions and the streamlining of operations, the quarter ended with an operating profit of 26.2 billion yen, an increase of 11.2 billion yen (up 74.0%) over the same period last year.  
Profit before tax, including a decrease in payments for things such as retirement, showed a strong recovery, with an improvement of 23.3 billion yen over the same period last year, bringing the total for the third quarter of FY 2007 to 19.7 billion yen.
The net profit for the third quarter after taxes was 12.8 billion yen, a recovery of 20.1 billion yen from the same period a year ago.

Koichi Maeda, Executive Vice President of SANYO, commented, “Regarding the third quarter results, we have seen favorable results in the sales of digital cameras, rechargeable batteries, solar photovoltaic modules and electronic devices continuing from the first half. When compared to the same period last year, revenue and profit have significantly improved. Consequently, we have accomplished our earnings forecast for the year already over these first nine months in terms of operating profit, profit before tax, and net profit for the term.”

He added, “As for our forecast for FY 2007, we will raise the operating profit outlook by 5 billion yen, changing the total to 55 billion yen. For the remaining two months of this fiscal year, we will work on accomplishing our forecasted totals as well as push forward with the creation of the new ‘Mid-term Management Plan’ for the next three year period from FY 2008 through FY 2010.”

SANYO announced a new ‘Mid-term Business Strategy’ or ‘Master Plan’ to make clear the path to profitability on November 27, 2007. Within the plan, several goals were outlined, including the ‘Challenge 1000’, a challenge for the group to achieve an operating profit of 100 billion yen within 1000 days (approximately three years). In the near future, a new ‘Mid-term Management Plan’ for the next three fiscal years (FY 2008 to FY 2010) will be announced based on the ‘Master Plan’ to help ensure sustainable growth.

The forecast for FY 2007 has been raised as below.
