COMMENT

 

MFR OF ALUMINUM ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITATORS. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY

BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4,645.3 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

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

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company is largest mfr of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.  Also engaged in marketing semiconductors by subsidiaries.  Has production bases in Korea, Indonesia, other Asian countries, and Oregon in US.  Stresses in overseas production.  Aluminum electrolytic capacitors for digital home appliances, main production item, will continue to grow, led by brisk demand of conductive polymer models.  Car-mounted capacitors continue to increase steadily.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 143,206 million, a 6.0% up from Yen 135,105 million in the previous term.  Exports rose.  By divisions, Capacitors up 6.9% to Yen 117,315 million (This Division accounting for 82% of totals group sales); Circuit Units Div up 0.7% to Yen 10,520 million.  Negative factors such as escalating material prices and falling selling process brought the operating income down to Yen 8,706 million, down 8% from the precious year.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 4,437 million and the net profit at Yen 2,512 million, respectively, compared with Yen 8,978 million recurring profit and Yen 5,572 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The fast appreciation of Yen towards the end of the fiscal year also weighed down on the Group’s net income, with dropping 55% to Yen 2,512 million, according to the firm. 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 4,800 million and the net profit at Yen 2,512 million, on a 0.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 144,000 million.  Global economies are not favorable, as rising oil prices and materials are expected to have negative effects on corporate earnings, while the resulting inflation will likely weigh down on consumer spending, according to the firm. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4,645.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
