                        Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2009 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company is one of major mfrs in shipbuilding and heavy electric machinery.  Ranked top in marine diesel engine production in Japan.  One of core members of Mitsui Group firms.  Shipbuilding is the core which alone account for about 45% of total sales.  Group shipping firm, Mitsui-OSK Lines, is aggressively ordering dry bulkers of 50/60,000 ton size, on the back of robust transportation needs into and from China.  Actively advancing into new businesses, including cogeneration, environment-related business & IT sector including clean rooms.  Employees were reduced due to restructuring.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATIIN

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 659,215 million, a 5.9% up from Yen 622,800 million in the previous term.  Newbuilding ship orders exceeded Yen 800 billion for three consecutive years.  By divisions, Shipbuilding up 18.9% to Yen 302,337 million, supported by robust demand for bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, etc particularly transportation needs into China; Steel Structure Construction was down 8.7% to Yen 53,787 million, due to decreased public works orders; Machinery up 3.2% to Yen 7,444 million, the highest record; Plants up 24.3% to Yen 100,062 million, supported by robust plastic plants orders into S/E Asia.  Operating profits and recurring profits recorded the highest levels, except the net profits.  The operating profit was posted at Yen 36,116 million and the recurring profit at Yen 32,232 million, respectively, compared with Yen 20,712 million operating profit and Yen 18,614 million recurring profit, respectively, a year ago.  The net profit, however, decreased to Yen 16,560 million from Yen 19,416 million, due largely to skyrocketing oil prices and material steel costs.

 

(Apr/Jun/2008 results): Sales Yen 132,675 million (down 9.14%), operating loss Yen 435 million (down from Yen 8,883 million profit), recurring loss Yen 475 million (down from Yen 8,742 million), net losses Yen 919 million (down from 4,985 million).  (% compares with the corresponding period a year ago).  Shipbuilding prices increased, which pushed the sales upwards, but higher material steel prices and increased subcontracting expenses hurt badly.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 27,000 million and the net profit at Yen 13,000 million, respectively, on a 7.7% rise in turnover, to Yen 710,000 million.  While the shipbuilding will continue to expand but building costs, including materials and fuel oils, will eat into profits.  Now the shipbuilding accounts for 46% of total sales.  Plants & bridges will improve.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 11,966.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
