TOKYO, Japan, February 6, 2014 — Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the consolidated full-year financial forecasts and forecasts of cash dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

1. Consolidated forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014

(April 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013)                                                  In millions of yen
 

For the forecasts of cash dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, the Group expects to record a consolidated net loss in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, and expects that the Group will not be able to recover from its cumulative loss due to its heavy cumulative loss in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Therefore the Group intends to forgo year-end dividend payments but will work toward improved results that will allow dividends to be reinstated at the earliest possible date.

Refer to Renesas Electronics' press release “Renesas Electronics Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended December 31, 2013” issued on February 6, 2014 for more details.
