Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2012 fiscal term
HIGHLIGHTS
The subject company is a top-ranked trading house specializing in
industrial chemicals, founded originally in 1832 by a certain Nagase as a
dyestuff merchant in Kyoto. In 1900, established
business ties with Bassel Chemical of Switz (now Chiba Specialty Chemicals) and
since diversified into various other industrial chemicals. Excels in dyestuffs, synthetic resins, etc. Actively engaged in new technological sector
such as pharmaceuticals raw materials, specialty resins, biotechnology,
electronics and other new materials. In
Oct 2003 the firm set up JV’s in Taiwan and China for offering CAD auto-parts
design services, following the one set up in USA. The firm is reported purchased Pac Tec GmbH,
a German producer of semiconductor mfg equipment. Nagase is taking steps to expand its business
in latter-stage semiconductor mfg and is planning to use Pac Tech’s
technologies to gain ground in supplying equipment and materials. Since 2000, the firm has served as agent for
Pac Tech, selling the firm’s equipment and licensing technology in Japan. Aggressive in investment, including M&A
activities, in electronics, automobile and healthcare areas. In July 2007, started lab center for materials
and additive agents. Business in India
and Vietnam continues expanding. The
firm will set up some new production lines in the sites in Harima and
Fukuchiyama plants to boost production of electronic resins & bio-related
materials. It will also establish a JV
for production of resins for paint and adhesive agents in China. The company plans to invest Yen 2.3 billion
to increase epoxy resin production capacity by fall 2011 in view of robust
demand for mobile phone and solar battery-related products. It converted Aikawa Kogyo, a synthetic resin
sales firm, to a wholly owned subsidiary.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 660,213
million, a 9.3% up from Yen 603,949 million in the previous term. Sales volume recovered, led by synthetic
resins and electronic materials. Gross
profit was buoyed by expanded sales of own-brand electronic-related
materials. Due to the Great East Japan
Earthquake, one of Nagase mfg subsidiaries incurred plant restoration expenses
totaling Yen 20 million. The subsidiary
resumed normal operations as of Mar 31, 2011.
By Divisions, Chemicals up 6.8% to Yen 253,290 million; Plastics up
15.3% to Yen 222,100 million; Electronics up 13.6% to Yen 133,640 million; Life
Science down 9.5% to Yen 50,240 million.
The recurring profit was posted at Yen 20,625 million and the net profit
at Yen 12,823 million, respectively, compared with Yen 14,712 million recurring
profit and Yen 7,537 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.
For the current term ending Mar 2012 the recurring profit is projected
at Yen 19,000 million and the net profit at Yen 12,000 million, respectively,
on a 0.03% fall in turnover, to Yen 660,000 million. China and emerging nations in Asia, Europe
and the United States are all expected to continue to expand. In Japan, however, it is anticipated that it
will be sometime before mfrs of end products are able to return to normal
operations, due to the adverse impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on the
supply of principal raw materials, core parts & components. An exchange rate of Yen83.00 to US$1 is used
for this forecasts.
The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for
ORDINARY business engagements. Max
credit limit is estimated at Yen 27,289.1 million, on 30 days normal
terms.
