Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

1. Operating Results (1) Analysis of Operating Results (Review of Performance in the Fiscal Year Ended March 2011) In the fiscal period under review (year ended March 31, 2012), consolidated net sales totaled ¥682.4 billion, up 1.7% from the previous year. Domestic sales edged down 0.8%, to ¥380.0 billion, due to several factors. In addition to a changing market structure—characterized by polarization towards high-priced and low-priced products since the so-called Lehman Shock—theses included the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and ongoing overall market contraction. By contrast, overseas sales increased 5.1%, to ¥302.4 billion, bolstered by sustained growth in Europe and the United States, together with continued high growth rates in Asia, especially in China. This was despite the impact of the strong yen. (For overseas subsidiaries, the “fiscal year” refers to the period from January 1 to December 31, 2011.) Although the Group worked hard to improve the cost of sales ratio and emphasize efficient expenditure allocations, operating income declined 12.0%, to ¥39.1 billion. This was due aggressive marketing investments targeting growth in Japan and overseas. Ordinary income fell 11.3%, to ¥39.4 billion. Despite the decrease in operating income, net income rose 13.5%, to ¥14.5 billion, owing mainly to a significant decline in the previous year caused by extraordinary losses.

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

(Review by Reportable Segment) (1) Domestic Cosmetics Business  Sales In the Domestic Cosmetics segment, sales were down 1.3%, to ¥353.8 billion. In the cosmetics business category, sales declined year-on-year, but the decrease was slight. Sales in the healthcare business were maintained at previous-year levels. In the cosmetics business, we stepped up efforts centered on new products and worked exhaustively to raise product value and refine our customer-oriented proposals activities. From the perspective of raising product value, we reduced the number of new product launches to around half, while releasing only carefully selected products deemed to be highly supported by customers. We also focused on nurturing current mainstay products. With respect to customer-oriented proposals activities, we concentrated on customers’ lifestyle changes and latent needs, and proposed solutions to help customers lead comfortable lives, free of displeasure and dissatisfaction. This started with “Cool Life Proposal”, aimed at helping customers stay cool and comfortable during the electricity shortages in summer, and was followed by “Healing Proposal” in autumn, “Warm Winter Life Proposal” in winter, and “Refreshing Life Proposal” in spring. In these ways, we deployed our products and product lineups, complemented by information and hands-on communication, to propose solutions geared to season-specific life realities via all possible channels. As a result, a number of offerings performed well during the year. These included clé de Peau Beauté, a top-end prestige brand; the MAQUillAGE makeup mega line, promoted as a long-seller by honing the number of core products; the Integrate self makeup line, which benefited from continued popularity of its mascaras and eye liners; and the TSUBAKI hair-care brand, which underwent renewals of both content and communication strategy. We also developed a new business model that combines the Internet with brick-and-mortar stores to create new customer interface opportunities, with a view to launch in April 2012. In the healthcare business category, we maintained sales on a par with the previous year. Amid intensifying competition in the market for collagen-related foods, in addition the mainstay The Collagen line of skin rejuvenation food, we launched Bénéfique Collagen Royal Rich as part of the Bénéfique line, sold exclusively to cosmetics specialty stores. In these ways, we upgraded our lineup of collagen-related products.  Operating Income The Domestic Cosmetics segmented posted a 12.3% decline in operating income, to ¥29.5 billion. This was due to a marginal decrease stemming from the fall in revenue, as well as aggressive marketing investments aimed at growth.

(2) Global Business  Sales Sales in the Global Business segment rose 5.6%, to ¥319.7 billion, thanks to various factors. These included continued strong growth in Europe and North America, sustained high growth rates in Asia, including China, and a healthy performance by the professional business. Sales in local-currency terms increased 12.2%. At the prestige end of the cosmetics business, the global brand SHISEIDO achieved sales growth in various world countries. Key performers here included the SHISEIDO Benefiance anti-aging line and the SHISEIDO Future Solution LX premium skincare line. In addition, the NARS makeup artist brand generated a significant sales increase, especially in North America. In addition, the designer fragrances sold by Beauté Prestige International posted healthy sales growth, highlighted by the launch of the Elie Saab fragrance in July 2011, and the travel retail business also performed well. Moreover, we made a solid start to our online sales business in the United States.

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

During the year, we strengthened sales in existing North American stores of Bare Mineral, a mineral-based makeup brand of Bare Escentuals, Inc., acquired in 2010. We also launched Ready, a new solid-type makeup, which contributed to continued growth. In the top-priority Chinese market, we faced intensifying competition from European, North American, and other companies. In the department store channel, Aupres, a dedicated brand for the Chinese market, maintained a healthy performance, benefiting from a renewal of its complexion-lightening skincare line. Other highlights included continued solid performances by URARA, a dedicated brand for Chinese cosmetics specialty stores, and Pure & Mild. Overall, therefore, we achieved sales growth well in excess of overall Chinese market growth. In addition, we made a solid start to our online sales business in that nation. In the Asian masstige market, we posted higher sales of Za, a comprehensive skincare and makeup brand targeting middle-income earners. We also undertook a full-scale rollout of the TSUBAKI brand in China, and we introduced Senka, a highly functional skincare brand in the low-price segment, in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. In newly emerging nations, we continued expanding sales in Russia. We also enjoyed business growth in new markets, launching sales in Panama, Armenia, Belarus, and other nations. As of December 31, 2011, the global brand SHISEIDO had a presence in 87 nations (including Japan). In the professional division, we enjoyed a major market hit in Japan with The Hair Care Adenovital, a next-generation hair-growth treatment incorporating “adenosine”, an active medicinal ingredient. Overseas, we reported a sales increase in China, where the market growth has been significant. Three other Group companies also recorded higher sales: Carita and Decléor, which sell products to esthetic and beauty salons, mainly in Europe; and Zotos International, which sells products to beauty salons, mainly in North America. Accordingly, the professional division enjoyed steady year-on-year sales growth.  Operating Income Operating income in the Global Business segment declined 9.0%, to ¥8.2 billion. This was due primarily to aggressive investments in growth markets, centering on China.

(3) Others  Sales Sales from other business declined 7.7%, to ¥8.9 billion. In the frontier sciences division, sales of cosmetics and bio-hyaluronic acid, a medical-use pharmaceutical products, performed well. We also increased sales of Navision, a line of cosmetics for medical institutions derived from our beauty care skin research. In addition, we augmented the 2e line of hypoallergenic cosmetics for medical institutions with the launch of 2e Baby Plus, a line for infants and young children, attracting a favorable response. Due to our withdrawal from low-profit medical-use pharmaceuticals in the previous year, however, year-on-year sales of other businesses were down.  Operating Income Operating income in this segment fell 24.9%, to ¥1.4 billion, due to a marginal loss stemming from the sales decline.

In the year ending March 2013, the Group projects a year-on-year increase in net sales after considering several factors. These include a recovery in domestic sales, ongoing revenue growth in Europe and North America, and expanded sales in China and newly emerging nations. By contrast, earnings will be affected by our continued strengthening of marketing investments in Japan and overseas aimed at future growth. Owing to the marginal gain stemming from higher net sales, however, we look forward to year-on-year increases in operating income and ordinary income. For the year, we forecast consolidated net sales of ¥720 billion (up 5.5% year-on-year), operating income of ¥43.5 billion (up 11.2%), ordinary income of ¥43.5 billion (up 10.3%), and net income of ¥22 billion (up 51.6%).

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

Outlook by Reportable Segment Domestic Cosmetics Business In the year ending March 2013, we expect the domestic cosmetics market to follow a moderate recovery path, despite some uncertainty about the future. In our Domestic Cosmetics segment, we will emphasize customer-oriented proposal activities tailored to each season while making products that attract enduring customer loyalty. In these and other ways, we will work to raise product value and target sales growth via ongoing refinement of our marketing activities. After also considering sales from our new business model, which uses the Internet and was launched in April 2012, we project a year-on-year increase in segment sales. We also look forward to growth in segment operating income thanks to the marginal gain from higher segment sales. This is despite stepped up investments related to marketing investments in existing businesses. Global Business The pace of growth in the European cosmetics market is slowing due to the impact of the financial crisis. The North American cosmetics market is expected to maintain positive growth amid an economic recovery trend, despite some uncertainty. In Asia, meanwhile, we look forward to continued market growth, especially in China. In this context, the Shiseido Group will strive for renewed business growth through several initiatives. These include concentrated investments in six brands under our Global Mega-Brand Strategy, continued fostering of our designer fragrance and makeup artist brands, allocation of business resources into the growth-engine Chinese market as a top priority, and enhanced responses to newly emerging markets. Through these efforts, we forecast a year-on-year increase in segment sales on a local-currency basis. We also expect a year-on-year rise in segment operating income, despite the effects of the strong yen and higher marketing costs. Others Going forward, we will continue striving to reinforce our presence in the frontier science division, which is underpinned by cosmetics raw materials, medical-use pharmaceuticals, chromatography-related machinery, and cosmetics for medical institutions. For the segment, we forecast that sales and operating income will remain mostly unchanged. We base our predictions on exchange rates of ¥80 per U.S. dollar, ¥105 per euro, and ¥12.5 per Chinese yuan.

(2) Analysis of Financial Position As of March 31, 2012, total assets amounted to ¥720.7 billion, down ¥18.4 billion from a year earlier. The decline stemmed mainly from the yen’s appreciation. Total liabilities decreased ¥2.0 billion, due largely to repayment of interest-bearing debt, and net assets were down ¥16.4 billion. Accordingly, the equity ratio at fiscal year-end was 40.3%, down 1.3 points from 41.6% a year earlier. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥52.6billion. Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥20.7 billion. This was mainly due to purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was ¥35.5 billion, due primarily to repayment of interest-bearing debt and cash dividend payments. As a result, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year amounted to ¥83.0 billion, down ¥5.6 billion from March 31, 2010. In the year ahead, we do not expect cash and cash equivalents to change significantly.

As shown below, until the year ended March 2009 the equity ratio was above 50% based on book value. Due to a significant increase in total assets associated with the Bare Escentuals acquisition in the year ended March 2010, however, the equity ratio has fallen to the 40% range. At March 31, 2012, the equity ratio based on market price was mostly unchanged from a year earlier (in the 70% range). The debt repayment term (3.5 years) is generally regarded as a safe level.

Notes: 1. Equity ratio: (Net assets – Stock acquisition rights – Minority interests) ÷ Total assets Equity ratio based on market price: Market value of total stock ÷ Total assets Debt repayment term: Interest-bearing debt ÷ Operating cash flows Interest coverage ratio: Operating cash flows ÷ Payment of interest expenses 2. Each index is calculated based on consolidated financial figures. 3. Market value of total stock is calculated by multiplying the closing stock price at the end of the term by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the term (after deduction of treasury stock). 4. Interest-bearing debt refers to all liabilities listed in Consolidated Balance Sheets that incur interest. For payment of interest expenses, amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are used. 5. Previously, the Company’s subsidiaries in the Americas treated product samples and promotional materials used in retail store sales activities as assets at the time of acquisition and expenses at the time of shipment to customers, i.e, retail stores. Effective the fiscal year in review, however, such items are now treated as expenses at the time of acquisition, in the interests of consistency in internal Group accounting treatment. The change in policy has been applied retrospectively to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the previous fiscal year. As a result of this change, in the previous fiscal year, the equity ratio declined 0.1 point and the equity ratio based on market price increased 0.1 point, compared with the previous accounting method.

(3) Basic Income Distribution Policy; Cash Dividends Our total shareholder return policy emphasizes maximizing returns to shareholders through direct means, in addition to generating medium- and long-term share price gains. To this end, our fundamental policy is deploy to growth-oriented strategic investments to drive increases in earnings and improvements in capital efficiency, which will lead to medium- and long-term increases in dividends and higher share prices. Going forward, our medium-term profit return objective is to achieve a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40%. To this end, we will prioritize payment of stable dividends while implementing share buybacks in a flexible manner. 11

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

The Company plans to declare a year-end cash dividend of ¥25.00 per share, as originally planned. Coupled with the ¥25.00 interim dividend, this will bring total annual dividends to ¥50.00 per share. The consolidated dividend payout ratio will be 137.1% due partly to the decline in net income stemming from an increase in deferred income taxes. In the fiscal year ending March 2013, we plan to pay interim and year-end dividends of ¥25.00 per share each, for total annual dividends of ¥50.00.

(4) Business and Other Risks Business and other risks that could potentially affect the Shiseido Group are described in its most recent Securities Report (filed on June 24, 2011). Since there are no major changes, that section has been omitted from this report. (Shiseido Website) http://group.shiseido.co.jp/ir/library/syoken/pdf/2010/1103all.pdf

(2) Medium- and Long-Term Management Strategies and Numerical Management Targets The Shiseido Group is implementing its three-year business plan (covering the period from April 2011 to March 2014), designed to help the Group enter a growth trajectory. Guided by the plan, the Group seeks to become a “global player representing Asia with its origins in Japan.” Under the plan, we are promoting four growth strategies: “Global Mega Brand Strategy,” “Asia Breakthrough Strategy,” “New Frontier Strategy,” and “Customer First Strategy.” The top priority of this initiative is to energize our Domestic Cosmetics business segment and accelerate the globalization of our operations. By promoting the aforementioned growth strategies, we are targeting annual average growth of 6% or more for net sales over the three-year period of the plan and achievement of a 10% operating margin during the three-year period. However, economic conditions have changed since the plan was formulated. For this reason, it will be difficult to achieve the operating margin target during the three-year period of the plan. At present, therefore, our projection is to reach 8%.

(3) Issues to Address 1. Three-Year Plan The Shiseido Group is pursuing targets of net sales in excess of ¥1 trillion (over 50% overseas sales), an operating margin of 12% or higher, and consolidated ROE of 15% or higher by the year ending March 2018. By achieving these targets, the Group seeks to become a “global player representing Asia with its origins in Japan.” Under our three-year plan, which started in the year under review, we are pursuing the following three visions: “Rebirth as a 100% Customer-Oriented Company,” “Brighten Our Brand, a Valuable Management Resource,” and “Fill the Shiseido Organization with People with Their Own Appeal.” These visions are designed the guide Group along its desired medium- and long-term future path based on our newly formulated corporate philosophy—“Our Mission, Values and Way.” To realize these visions and achieve our aspirations, we are pursuing four growth strategies: “Global Mega Brand Strategy,” “Asian Breakthrough Strategy,” “New Frontier Strategy,” and “Customer-First Strategy.” We have positioned the period ending March 2013 as a “year for growth realization,” during which we will continue pursuing the aforementioned growth strategies. Global Mega-Brand Strategy Shiseido aims to become a “Global Multiple Brands Company” possessing multiple brands that achieve sales of between ¥50 billion and ¥100 billion and are competitive with other major companies. Up until now, we have enhanced the unique brand values and increased the presence of globally developed brands that originate from Japan, Europe, and North America. Under the three-year plan, by looking at markets that transcend regional boundaries we have selected six brands that we will focus on developing as “global mega brands.” These consist of three prestige brands (global brand SHISEIDO, clé de Peau Beauté, and Bare Escentuals) and three masstige brands (Za, Senka, and TSUBAKI). Asian Breakthrough Strategy Shiseido aims to expand its overall share in Asian markets, which are expected to become the world’s largest in the near future, by designating Asia as its most important area. To this end, we will proactively engage in efforts to achieve growth and share expansion in China, which is the largest growth market, while 13

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

also strengthening initiatives in East Asian countries and Southeast Asian nations. Additionally, in the domestic market we will seek to create value and enhance the activities of our salespeople and beauty consultants, placing top priority on growth recovery. New Frontier Strategy In order to swiftly address the rapidly changing consumer and distribution environments, we will introduce a new business model aimed at creating touchpoints with customers. In addition, we will step up Internet sales efforts in North America and China. We will also accelerate the rate of growth by strengthening expansion into rapidly growing areas, centering on emerging countries. Customer-First Strategy This strategy forms the cornerstone of the three-year plan, because it affects all corporate activities. The term “customer first” has two meanings. One means implementing activities that put customers above everything else in all initiatives, and the other means becoming No. 1 in terms of customer support worldwide through ongoing improvements in the quality of customer responses. We will build a framework conducive to sharing information—such as past successes in various business locations and opinions received from customers—laterally across segment and geographical lines. In the process, we will accelerate improvements in product creation and the quality of our store-level responses.

(2) Initiatives for Year Ending March 2013 Domestic Cosmetics Business New business model In Japan, we will introduce a new business model designed to generate synergies between the Internet and brick-and-mortar retail stores. In April 2012, we launched Beauty & Co., a collaboration website for companies involved in beauty and health, as well as watashi+ (pronounced “watashi plus”), a next-generation beauty solution service linking stores with the Internet. Under Beauty & Co., we will seek to create new interfaces between participating companies and customers and promote collaboration between companies in different business fields, with the aim of creating added value and delivering new products and services to customers. With respect to watashi+, we will provide online counseling services, introduction and search services for brick-and-mortar stores, and “makeup simulation” (Internet-based service enabling customers to enjoy a more varied makeup experience), in order to provide each and every customer with optimal beauty-related solutions derived from abundant content devoted to beauty. It will also incorporate an online sales service. Refining product creation, sales, and response activities We will continue working to improve product value and refine our customer consulting activities, while promoting season-specific proposal activities and strengthening efforts to foster existing products, centering on mainstay products. We will also increase the pace of growth by concentrating investments on specific brands, including the global mega brand clé de Peau Beauté, the global brand SHISEIDO, Senka, and TSUBAKI. In addition, we will target reforms across all facets of our corporate activities aimed at generating added value for customers—from R&D and production to marketing, advertising, sales, and store-level responses. By creating new levels of value built on proven technological prowess, we will strengthen and improve information transmission and store-level responses, and convey such value to customers in an easy-to-understand manner.

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

Global Business Prestige market Regarding the global brand SHISEIDO, we will strive to attract new customers to the mainstay SHISEIDO BOP (Bio-Performance) skincare line, especially Corrective Serum. At the same time, we will use the SHISEIDO Future Solution LX premium skincare line raise the prestige image of the global brand SHISEIDO. With respect to clé de Peau Beauté, we will target renewed overseas growth by further refining brand value, expanding our presence in North America, and increasing the number of stores handling our products in China. As for Bare Mineral, we will maximize synergies by deploying Shiseido’s technological and sales capabilities. In addition, we will strengthen our makeup lines centered on North America, reinforce communications, and expand categories to include skincare incorporating Shiseido technologies. We will also target growth in Europe, as well as Japan and Hong Kong where we have deployed Shiseido’s sales expertise to date, while actively entering new markets, such as Brazil. Masstige market With respect to Senka, we will utilize knowhow amassed in Japan and Taiwan to increase the number of countries slated for business development. Regarding TSUBAKI, we have started local production in China and are stepping up our rollout of this brand. As for Za, we are targeting further sales growth through advertising that showcases the brand’s concept and by renewing our store presence. Designer fragrances and makeup artist brand We will continue fostering the ISSEY MIYAKE line of designer fragrances made by Beauté Prestige International, while increasing the number of countries slated for rollout of the narciso rodriguez line, with the aim of broadening our profile in the fragrance market. In addition, we will target further sales growth for the NARS makeup artist brand, including by increasing the number of countries slated for rollout. China In China, where competition is becoming more and more intense, we will allocate business resources as a top priority, in an effort to achieve sales growth that surpasses the market expansion rate. In the department store channel, we will introduce a premium range under the Aupres brand in top-selling stores in order to raise the brand’s overall premium image. At the same time, we will foster the global brand SHISEIDO by strengthening the capabilities of our beauty consultants. In the cosmetics specialty store channel, we will continue reinforcing the URARA and Pure & Mild. brands while deepening relationships with retail customers in order to maintain steady growth. In other areas, as well, we will promote brands and products in the professional and healthcare fields, and we will work in other ways reinforce our market advantage by harnessing the comprehensive strengths of the Shiseido Group. Newly emerging nations Targeting next-generation growth engines to follow China, we will continue strengthening our response to emerging nations, centering on Russia, Brazil, and India. In Russia, we will leverage our business foundation—which we have used to aggressive tap new customer stores—to steadily foster the global brand SHISEIDO. At the same time, we will step up promotion of the TSUBAKI brand, introduced in the year under review. In Brazil, we will launch the Bare Mineral and NARS brands and start a full-scale multiple-brand rollout, with the aim of transforming Brazil into to a core market. In India, where we have a representative office, we will consider business plans under a project system.

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

Strengthening Our Business Foundation to Achieve Sustained Growth Enhancing production and procurement systems With respect to production, we will optimize our supply chain on a global level while seeking to realize low-cost operations. We will also work exhaustively on a global level to lower costs of our procurement system. Establishing IT infrastructure In an effort to standardize business processes and raise the speed of decision-making, we will introduce SAP—a core IT system already in place in Japan, Europe, China, and elsewhere—into other regions. In this way, we will enable visualization of overall business indicators. Globalizing human resources In Japan, we will continue fostering global human resources who are responsive to different cultures and have a good understanding of global business. At the same time, we will nurture personnel on a region-specific basis. Targeting executives, we will also expedite efforts to foster and utilize human resources on a global basis. Deepening CSR activities We will pursue initiatives and study responses aimed at minimizing risks associated with our business activities and maximizing corporate value. Here, we will place emphasis on human rights and the environment, recognized as the most important international issues of our time. Seeking to approach our overall business activities from a CSR-based perspective, we will continue promoting CSR-driven management in order to identify risks inherent in our domestic and overseas operations. This initiative will cover the entire supply chain, including both the Shiseido Group and its business partners. With respect to the environment, we will continue to place environmental initiatives at the core of Shiseido’s management. We will continue strengthening environmental responses throughout the total life cycle and stepping up initiatives centering on reducing carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Specifically, we will promote use of environmentally friendly materials in our products and raise such usage to a level enabling us to propose new values in terms of environmental responsiveness. In addition, we will introduce environmentally friendly equipment and pursue energy-saving activities in factories and offices, both in Japan and overseas, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

(5) Note on Assumptions for Going Concern Not applicable

(6) Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements Scope of Consolidation (1) Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 94 Principal subsidiaries are listed in the Group’s most recent Financial Report (submitted June 24, 2011). Since there are no major changes, the list is omitted from this report. Please refer to the following website for the list of principal subsidiaries. http://group.shiseido.co.jp/ir/library/syoken/pdf/2010/1103all.pdf [Additions: 1 company] One company— Shiseido Professional Korea Co., Ltd. —was established during the period and thus has been included in the scope of consolidation in the year under review. [Exclusions: 2 companies] Two companies—Shiseido Business Solutions Co., Ltd., which was liquidated, and P.T. Prana Dewata Ubud, the shares of which were sold by the Company—were excluded from the scope of consolidation in the year under review. (2) Nonconsolidated subsidiaries Major Company Name: Beauté Prestige International Ltd. (UK) (Reasons for excluding nonconsolidated subsidiaries from scope of consolidation) Since these companies are small in scale or do not engage in full-scale operations, their combined assets, net sales, net income (the Company’s interest share) and retained earnings (the Company’s interest share) have a minimal effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and they are insignificant in general, they are not included in the scope of consolidation.

(7) Changes in Accounting Policies (Change in accounting treatment for product samples and promotional materials) Previously, the Company’s subsidiaries in the Americas treated product samples and promotional materials used in retail store sales activities as assets at the time of acquisition and expenses at the time of shipment to customers. i.e., retail stores. Effective the first quarter of the fiscal year in review, however, such items are now treated as expenses at the time of acquisition, in the interests of consistency in internal Group accounting treatment. Compared with the accounting policy prior to retrospective application, inventories and retained earnings (stated in the Consolidated Balance Sheets) in the previous fiscal year declined ¥1,724 million and ¥1,064 million, respectively, while deferred tax assets (stated under Current Assets) increased ¥660 million. Reflecting the cumulative impact on net assets at the beginning of the previous fiscal year, retained earnings for that year declined ¥1,064 million as a result of the change in accounting policy. The change in policy is not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the previous fiscal year, because the balances of product samples and promotional materials included within inventories have remained mostly unchanged and the differences in term-end balances are not deemed significant. The effect of the change on per-share data is stated in the relevant location.

25

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

(Change in method of calculating fully diluted net income per share) Effective the fiscal year under review, the Company has applied “Accounting Standards for Earnings Per Share” (ASBJ Statement No. 2, June 30, 2010) and “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share” (ASBJ Guidance No. 4, June 30, 2010). In calculating diluted earnings per share, for stock options in which the right to exercise options is vested after a specified service period, the fair value of service expected to be provided to the Group in the future is added to the proceeds assumed to be received when options are exercised. Adoption of the aforementioned accounting standards would have had a minimal effect on fully diluted net income per share in the previous fiscal year, so it has not been applied retrospectively.

(8) Supplementary Information (Application of accounting standard for accounting changes and error corrections) After the beginning of the fiscal year under review, the Company made accounting changes and/or corrections of past errors. For this reason, it has applied Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (ASBJ Statement No. 24, December 4, 2009) and Guidance on Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (ASBJ Guidance No. 24, December 4, 2009). (Revision of statutory tax rate) Following the promulgation on December 2, 2012 of “Act for Partial Revision of the Income Tax Act, etc. for the Purpose of Creating Taxation System Responding to Changing in Economic and Social Structure” (Act No. 114 of 2011) and “Act on Special Measures for Securing Financial Resources Necessary to Implement Measures for Reconstruction Following the Great East Japan Earthquake” (Act No. 117 of 2011), the corporate tax rate will be changed and the Special Reconstruction Corporation Tax will be imposed for the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2012. In line with these changes, the effective statutory tax rate used to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities related to temporary differences expected to be eliminated during the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012 will be changed from 41% to 38%. Also, the effective statutory tax rate used to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities related to temporary differences expected to be eliminated during the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2015 will be changed from 41% to 36%. As a result, net deferred tax assets (after deducting deferred tax liabilities) at the end of the fiscal year under review declined ¥2,743 million, while deferred income taxes and unrealized gains on available-for- sale securities, net of taxes, increased ¥2,782 million and ¥39 million, respectively. Apart from the items described above, there are no significant changes to items outlined in the Company’s most recent Financial Report (filed on June 24, 2011). Accordingly, such items have been omitted from this document.

(9) Notes Concerning Consolidated Financial Statements [Segment Information] 1. Overview of Reportable Segments With respect to its reportable segments, the Company is able to obtain delineated financial data from among its structural units. Accordingly, its segments are subject to regular examination in order to assist decision-making on allocation of managerial resources and evaluation of business performance by the Board of Directors. The Company’s main business is the production and sale of cosmetics. Under a business structure classified according to domestic and global regions, various business departments in the head office formulate comprehensive strategies and promote business activities. Consequently, the Company has classified its operations into two segments along geographical lines: Domestic Cosmetics Business and Global Business. 26

Shiseido Co., Ltd. (4911) Fiscal Year Ended March 2012

The Domestic Cosmetics Business segment includes the domestic cosmetics business (production and sale of cosmetics, cosmetic accessories, and toiletries), the healthcare business (production and sale of health & beauty foods and over-the-counter drugs), and the production and sale of non-Shiseido-brand products and mail-order products. The Global Business segment covers the overseas cosmetics business (production and sale of cosmetics, cosmetic accessories, and toiletries) and the domestic and overseas professional business (production and sale of beauty salon products).

2. Method of Computing Sales, Income/Loss, Assets, Liabilities, and Other Items by Reportable Segment The accounting treatment method for the Group’s reported business segments is generally the same as described in the Company’s most recent Financial Report (filed on June 24, 2011) and “(6) Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements.” Also, segment income is based on operating income. The prices of inter-segment transactions and transfers are determined by price negotiations based on the Company’s submission of preferred prices after taking market conditions into account.
