TERMS
HIGHLIGHTS
The subject company was
established originally in 1917 by Tokushichi Nomura in order to make most of
his experience in foreign trading, on his account. Due to financial difficulties the firm transferred its business
rights to Alton Shoji KK (Shoji means trading) in Apr 2002, and restructured by
forming a holding company, Nomura Trading Holdings Co Ltd, at the caption
address. The corporate name survived as
captioned. In Apr 2005, integrated
business structure into three major business units: Food Business Units
(Farm/Marine/Livestock business); Consumer Products Business Unit (Apparel,
Housing, Building Materials business) and Industrial Business Unit (Materials,
Chemical, Machinery & Electronics).
Operates 23 overseas JV enterprises with 6,700 employees. The firm’s sales account for 95% of total
group sales.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Financials
are consolidated by the parent, Nomura Trading Holdings Co Ltd.
The
sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 91,835 million, a 4% up
from Yen 88,599 million in the previous term.
Business is seen steady expanding.
Foods up 3.1% to Yen 36,501 million; Consumer Products down 0.6% to Yen
20,045 million, due to decreased sales of building materials as affected by the
new building regulations enacted; Industrial Business up 7.8% to Yen 38,733
million. The recurring profit was
posted at Yen 895 million and the net profit at Yen 194 million, respectively,
compared with Yen 1,107 million recurring profit and Yen 1,009 million net
profit, respectively, a year ago.
Materials price hike deteriorated profitability. Booked Yen 525 million extraordinary losses
for the term.
For
the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 740
million and net profit at Yen 320 million, respectively, on an almost similar
turnover, at Yen 92,000 million.
Stronger Yen will decrease sales amount in Yen terms. Worldwide business slump will hurt the
sales.
The
financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY
business engagements. Max credit limit
is estimated at Yen 837.1 million, on 30 days normal terms.
