Financial report summary

Risks

Our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition are substantially dependent upon HMC and the sale of Honda and Acura products and any decline in the financial condition of HMC or the sales of Honda and Acura products could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
Because our operations are heavily dependent on retail sales of motor vehicles and other retail products, a decline in general business and economic conditions can have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
If we are unable to compete successfully or if competition continues to increase in the businesses in which we operate, our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We are exposed to residual value risk on the vehicles we lease.
Vehicle recalls and other announcements may impact our business
Adverse economic conditions or changes in laws in states or provinces in which we have customer concentrations may negatively affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition may be adversely affected because of currency risk.
We need substantial capital to finance our operations and a disruption in our funding sources and access to the capital markets would have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Fluctuations in interest rates could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Our borrowing costs and access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on our credit ratings, the credit ratings of HMC and the Keep Well Agreements.
We are subject to consumer and dealer credit risk, which could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
We are required to apply significant judgments and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements, and actual results may vary from those assumed in our judgments and assumptions.
The failure or commercial soundness of our counterparties and other financial institutions may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected by the rate of prepayment of our financing and leasing contracts.
Our defined benefit plan costs and those of AHM and HCI may affect our financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

Management Discussion

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our primary focus, in collaboration with AHM and HCI, is to provide support for the sale of Honda and Acura products and maintain customer and dealer satisfaction and loyalty. To deliver this support effectively, we seek to maintain competitive cost of funds, efficient operations, and effective risk and compliance management. The primary factors influencing our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition include the volume of Honda and Acura sales and the portion of those sales that we finance, our cost of funds, competition from other financial institutions, consumer credit defaults, and used motor vehicle prices.
A substantial portion of our consumer financing business is acquired through incentive financing programs sponsored by AHM and HCI. The volume of these incentive financing programs and the allocation of those programs between retail loans and leases may vary from fiscal period to fiscal period depending upon the respective marketing strategies of AHM and HCI. AHM and HCI’s marketing strategies are based in part on their business planning and control, in which we do not participate. Therefore, we cannot predict the level of incentive financing programs AHM and HCI may sponsor in the future. Our consumer financing acquisition volumes are substantially dependent on the extent to which incentive financing programs are offered. Increases in incentive financing programs generally increase our financing penetration rates, which typically results in increased financing acquisition volumes for us. The amount of subsidy payments we receive from AHM and HCI is dependent on the terms of the incentive financing programs and the interest rate environment. Subsidy payments are received upon acquisition and recognized in revenue throughout the life of the loan or lease; therefore, a significant change in the level of incentive financing programs in a fiscal period typically only has a limited impact on our results of operations for that period. The amount of subsidy income we recognize in a fiscal period is dependent on the cumulative level of subsidized contracts outstanding that were acquired through incentive financing programs.
