TDK Corporation today announced revisions to its projected consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 and its projection for dividends per common share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 that were announced on October 31 in 2012, in light of recent business performance. Details of the revisions are as follows.

Reason for Revising Projections for Consolidated Operating Results
Sales of TDK products in the third quarter were lower than assumptions made in full-year projections of consolidated operating results announced on October 31, 2012. This was due to sales of main finished products and demand for electronic components used in them in the electronics market in the third quarter being more sluggish than initially anticipated. Furthermore, TDK expects sales of its products to remain soft in the fourth quarter amid continued challenges in its markets. TDK also expects to see a drop in its capacity utilization rate. Consequently, TDK has revised its projected full-year consolidated operating results as above, because second-half consolidated net sales and operating income are expected to be lower than its October 31, 2012 projections.

Reasons for Dividend Forecast Revision
