HIGHLIGHTS

           

This is a leading and comprehensive metalworking machinery company.  Core of Amada group firms focusing on marketing of machine tools, but in Oct 2003, merged with Amada Machinics, machine tool mfg arm, and restarted production.  Largest maker of sheet metal processing machinery.  Diversified product line to cutting machines, presses and machine tools.  Operations are centered mainly on four businesses focusing on Sheet Metal Machinery, Metal Cutting & Stamping Press Machinery, Structural Steel Machine and Machine Tools.  In addition to the main businesses, the group also provides total solution services that range from computer software and peripheral devices for controlling metalworking machines to toolings & maintenance.  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.  The firm withdrew from slumping small pressing machine business.  It will set up a sales JV with Aida Engineering in April 2011.  The JV will sell products mfr’d by Aida through Amada’s sales channel.  It intends to concentrate management resources on core businesses.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 135,979 million, a 39.8% drop from Yen 225,789 million in the previous term.  The global economic crisis created its deepest scars in the mfg sector, leaving economies driven by industrial production reeling the most.  Hit by sharp cuts in capital investment at chipmakers & automakers, the firm had been receiving fewer orders for almost all its products, including mainstay sheet metal and press machines.  Orders from Japanese & European customers have been particularly weak, but those for China & other Asian countries have also been plunging since the autumn.  Exports were hurt by the strong Yen, reducing earnings & profits in Yen terms.  Orders from Japanese & European customers have been particularly weak, but those for China & other Asian countries have also been plunging since the autumn.  By divisions, Sheet Metal Div down 37.8% to Yen 103,700 million; Cutting Machines down 44.1% to Yen 18,200 million; Presses down 37.9% to Yen 5,300 million; Machine Tools down 56.7% to Yen 6,600 million.  The operations plunged into the red to register Yen 4,416 million recurring loss and Yen 3,739 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 17,559 recurring loss and Yen 8,488 net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Sales decline & Yen’s sharp rise cut into profits. 

 

(Apr/Dec/2010 results): Sales Yen 109,174 million (up 25.2%), operating profit Yen 440 million (up from Yen 10,052 million loss), recurring profit Yen 1,032 million (up from Yen 6,340 million loss), net profit Yen 50 million (up from Yen 5,587 million loss).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Demand for machine tools has rebounded in China and India, with the sales of such equipment as punching machines, which are used to cut holes in sheet metals, picking up steam.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2011 the operations are projected to come back to profitability to post Yen 5,000 million recurring profit and Yen 2,900 million net profit, respectively, on a 21.3% rise in turnover, to Yen 165,000 million.  Sales of mainstay metal processing machinery are increasing in Asia.  Sales are stagnating in Europe under stiffer price competition, but are showing signs of recovery in North America.  Improved operating rates are contributing.  But the negative effect of stronger Yen will erode profit margin in the second half.  Forex losses will be posed.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 6,183.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
