HIGHLIGHTS
The subject company was established by a certain Murata for mfg textile machinery and has been succeeded by his descendants. The firm has since diversified operations into communications equipment, logistics & automated systems, machine tools, etc, in addition to textile machinery, which still remains as the main pillar. Focusing on FA/OA equipment and systems. Also aggressive to advance into overseas markets, with exports accounting for 60% of total sales.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The sales volume for May/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 135,111
million, a 17% hike from Yen 115,782 million in the previous term. While communication equipment stalled,
textile machines, machine tools and automated systems surged supported by
robust demand for exports. Weaker Yen
also contributed to the sales growth in Yen terms. The profits surged: Recurring profit at Yen 14,361 million and
net profit at Yen 7,968 million, respectively, compared with Yen 8,273 million
recurring profit and Yen 5,068 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.
For the current term ending May 2007 the recurring profit is
projected at Yen 14,000 million and the net profit at Yen 7,900 million,
respectively, on an 11% rise in turnover, to Yen 150,000 million. Sales are expected to continue growing,
while the profits may deteriorate due to heavy R&D costs outlays, according
to the firm.
The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY
business engagements. Max credit limit
is estimated at Yen 4,342.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
