HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of car parts mfg division separated from Toyota Motor Corp (see REGISTRATION), in order to focus on mfg of car electronic & electrical parts & components, including heat exchangers, engine & driving units.  Most influential in Toyota group firms.  Actively engaged in overseas production.  Accounts for just over 50% of domestic car air conditioner market.  The firm will invest Yen 30,000 million from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2010 in order to boost production of car air conditioners and engine parts in China to meet growing demand.  Expanding into non-automobile fields including bar-code readers, robots and non-contact IC card readers/writers.  For production items, see OPERATION.  Worldwide, the firm employs approx 106,000 people over 32 countries & regions.

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,188,330 million, a 13.9% increase from Yen 2,799,949 million in the previous term.  The recurring profit grew 26% to Yen 283,054 million from Yen 224,760 million, and the net profit 27.9% to Yen 169,648 million from Yen 132,620 million, respectively, from the previous term.  All figures are record highs.  This is attributed to continued strong car production by Toyota Motor and other carmakers both at home and abroad.  By regions, sales expanded 11.1% Japan, 19.0% N America, 13.1% Europe, 35.8% Asia/Oceania, respectively.  In Japan, particularly sales of car navigation systems increased.  In Europe, increased production in Hungary and Czech contributed.  In Asia/Oceania, Toyota innovative international multi-purpose vehicles and other Japanese auto makers led to the increased sales & operating income.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2006 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 293,000 million and the net profit at Yen 173,000 million, respectively, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 3,380,000 million.  Automotive parts continuing growth, backed by increased production by Toyota Motor.  Product changeover costs in N America decreasing.  Capacity utilization in Europe improving.  Net profit will hit all-time high.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies will uplift sales in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR to EXCELLENT and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 126,230 million, on normal 30 days terms.
