                        Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2007 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

This is a leading and comprehensive metalworking machinery company.  Core of Amada group firms focusing on marketing with mfg division spun off as subsidiaries. Emphasizing software related areas following merger of Amada Metecs in Apr 2000.  Owns sales & development sites in major cities around the world, with production sites in US, France, Australia and China.  Established             US software subsidiary in 1996 as part of efforts in software development.  In Oct 2003, took over Amada Mechanics, a subsidiary mfr of machine tools, as part of group restructuring..

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 221,780 million, a 10.3% up from Yen 201,097 million in the previous term.  Buoyed by private sector capital spending, the firm enjoyed strong sales of its mainstay metalworking machinery in Japan, Europe, Asia and North America. Orders received were up 12.3% to Yen 228,086 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 33,256 million and the net profit at Yen 22,297 million, respectively, compared with Yen 24,960 million recurring profit and Yen 10,940 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

First Half results ending Sept/2006: sales Yen 121,265 million (up 18.7%), operating profit Yen 17,546 million (up 42.3%), recurring profit Yen 20,355 million (up 38.4%), net profit Yen 12,122 million (up 13.5%).  (% compared with the same period previous year).  The strong showing is due to increase of overseas sales of its mainstay metalworking machinery, notably in Europe and Asia. The weak Yen also seems to have contributed to the profit increases.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 36,500 million and the net profit at Yen 22,400 million, on an 8.2 % rise in turnover, to Yen 240,000 million.          Presses and machine tools, as well as sheet metalworking machines on growth trend.  Operations in China will recover and those in India increasing.  Domestic & overseas restructuring efforts showing results.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 8,050.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
