HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is a general trading house specializing in chemicals, textiles and foodstuffs as its core earning sources. Established originally on the basis of a cotton division spun off from Mitsui & Co, a leading general trading house, Tokyo. Due to financial difficulties, the firm received financial aegis from the main banking group, UFJ Bank, on two occasions, followed by additional financial injection from Toyota Tsusho group (see REGISTRATION). Undergone a drastic restructuring including capital decrease from Yen 66,185 million down to Yen 44,199 million already n Apr 2003. Staff was cut to 4,641 from the previous 6,584. Reportedly, the firm will merge with Toyota Tsusho Corp next Apr, with Toyota Tsusho the surviving entity. Total sales of the group are expected to rise to Yen 4,900,000 million, surpassing Sojitz Holdings Corp. The subject firm is reportedly achieved its goal of halving the debts and work force one year ahead of schedule. The merger ratio will be determined after Tomen Corp settles the treatment of roughly Yen 72,000 million debts from UFJ Bank and other lenders. The merger is expected to generate synergy in a wide range of areas, as the two trading firms businesses hardly overlap. Toyota Tsusho mostly handles automobile & machinery, while Tomen is strong in chemicals & electronics. Tomens wide global networks will contribute to the sales expansion.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,577,303 million, a 1.67% down from Yen 1,604,084 million in the previous term. The recurring profit was posted at Yen 25,050 million, up 16% up from the previous Yen 21,585 million, and net profit at Yen 9,627 million, 157% up from the previous Yen 3,753 million, respectively. By divisions, Chemicals Div remained almost similar. Although the sales fueled by higher demand in China and S/E Asian and surging prices for petrochemical products, it was offset by the conversion of a consolidated subsidiary active in the life science business into an eq1uity-method affiliate in the second half of fiscal 2005. Produce & Foodstuffs Div rose Yen 13,500 million to Yen 230,600 million thanks to robust imports from China. Textile Div reorganized existing business and operations decreased by Yen 74,700 million to Yen 185,200 million. Machinery & Energy Div saw increased exports of automobiles to Australia and Mid East, crude oil imports from Iran remained steady, and consequently sales rose Yen 1,900 million to Yen 2,600 million in the sector. Electronics Div sales rose Yen 46,900 million to Yen 279,400 million, thanks to performance of Tomen Electronics, a subsidiary trading firm, acting as agent for Samsung Electronics, Korea.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2006 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 27,000 million and net profit at Yen 10,000 million respectively, on a 7.8% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,700,000 million. Business tie-ups ahead of the merger with Toyota Tsusho will likely contribute to boost the sales.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 7,019.9 million, on normal terms. The proposed amount is considered well within the firms financial capabilities.
