COMMENT

 

AIRLINE OPERATOR.   FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 16,115.4 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

                        Forecast (or estimated) for the 31/03/2008 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in Oct 1952 as a private company and was reorganized in Oct 1953 as a government-owned company according to the Japan Airlines Law.  In Nov 1987, the government stake (then 34%) was entirely sold off and the firm was privatized.  In Oct 2002, when the firm (JAL) integrated with Japan Air System (JAS, domestic flights operator), the group formed a holding company, Japan Airline Corporation.  The subject changed the corporate name as captioned in Apr 2004.  This is the nation’s largest airline company, vying with All Nippon Airways (ANA).  The amalgamation with JAS bred strife in management over the safety operations and series of safety troubles followed.  This led to the decrease in domestic passenger who fled to ANA.  The internal strife is reported now subdued with new board members appointed.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,120,623 million, a 32.5% up from Yen 1,600,486 million in the previous term.  Newly opened Japan/Shanghai route contributed. Also increased flights Tokyo/Delhi and Tokyo/Moscow caught new passengers.  Bowing 777 flights were allocated to Japan/Europe routes to rationalize operations.  International air cargo also grew.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 14,897 million but the bottom line was ended at Yen 15,174 million net losses.  Early retirement allowance payments ate into profits.  This compares with Yen 49,475 million recurring loss and Yen 40,990 million net loss, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 18,900 million and the net profit at Yen 6,300 million, respectively, on a 3.7% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,200,000 million.  Internal management strife is reportedly in pause.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 16,115.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
