Overview

Kobe Steel, Ltd. (Kobe) is engaged in both the manufacturing and services sectors. The products manufactured by Kobe include steel products, hydraulic excavators, mini excavators, wheel loaders, crawler cranes, rough terrain cranes, work vessels, electric mining shovels and other products. Kobe has diversified business operations, which mitigate the business risk of the company. Its focus on research and development and leading position in the market provides competitive advantage. However, the company’s heavy dependence on the Japanese region and its decreasing cash position remains major concerns for the company. In addition, volatile raw material prices, stringent government regulations and changes in steel supply and demand may impact its performance. Nevertheless, the company could capitalize on its strategic expansion of operation, joint ventures and collaborations and accelerating demand for energy which offer new avenues of growth for the company.

 

Strengths

 

Leading Position

Kobe Steel’s leading position provides competitive edge over its peers. The company operates under the trade name KOBELCO. Kobe Steel, Japan’s fourth-largest steel maker has 10% market share of the world market, and it aims to increase to 20% in fiscal 2012. It also plans to increase its market share of large-capacity screw and reciprocating compressors. Kobe Steel’s new large-capacity compressor test facility went into operation in February 2010 at the company’s Takasago Works. The facility, the biggest in Japan, is able to test process gas compressors with variable-speed motors rated up to 20,000 kilowatts. Currently, Kobe Steel has the largest market share of leadframes in Asia, where demand is expected to grow, as well as in Japan. Kobe Steel has the biggest world's market share in the field of polymer processing equipment and is the maker of the largest capacity extruder in the world. Kobelco is Japan's top manufacturer of crawler cranes, with a roughly 50% share of the domestic market. In the world, Kobelco is a leading manufacturer with an estimated 17% share.


Focus on Research and Development

The company’s laboratories works closely with the development departments in the business segments and help to create products, using technologies in the fields of materials, machinery, the environment, energy and electronics that effectively meet the customers’ needs. The company laboratories include material research laboratory, mechanical engineering research laboratory, production systems research laboratory, electronics research laboratory, and coal and energy technology department. Recently, the material research laboratory (MRL) of the company developed a new technique to join dissimilar metals following the process commonly used for vehicle assembly. This new innovation by the company achieved bonding strengths between two dissimilar metals. The company's mechanical engineering research laboratory (MERL) developed a compact hydrogen production and storage process in collaboration with the University of Tsukuba. Moreover, production systems research laboratory (PSRL) of the company, Kobelco Cranes Co., Ltd. and the welding systems department of the company's Welding Business developed an automatic welding system for crane boom. The company’s newly developed pipeline products provide enough opportunities for the company to improve its market share.

 

Diversified Business Operations

Kobe’s diversified business portfolio is instrumental in creating brand value and goodwill for the company. Up to and including fiscal 2009-2010, Kobe operated seven segments, namely, Iron and Steel, Wholesale Power Supply, Aluminum and Copper, Machinery, Construction Machinery, Real Estate and Electronic Materials and Other Businesses. From fiscal 2010-11, the company divided its Iron and Steel segment into Iron and Steel segment and Welding segment; and its Construction Machinery segment into Kobelco Construction Machinery segment and Kobelco Cranes segment. This changed the total number of business segments of the company from seven to nine. Thus, the company’s restructured business segments include Iron and Steel, Welding, Aluminum and Copper, Machinery, Natural Resources and Engineering, Kobelco Eco-Solutions, Kobelco Construction Machinery, Kobelco Cranes, and Other businesses. Its Iron and Steel segment focuses on manufacturing sophisticated and higher value-added steel products. The company’s Welding business segment involves in providing welding solutions. Its Aluminum and Copper segment includes copper rolled products, copper strip for electronic materials, aluminum blanks and substrates for hard disk drives, and aluminum castings and forgings. Under the Machinery segment, the company offers rotating machinery and compressors, tire and rubber machinery, plastic processing machinery, advanced technology equipment, ultra high pressure equipment, air separation plants, rolling mills, LNG vaporizers, pressure vessels. The company’s Natural Resources and Engineering segment focuses on providing engineering products and services in the energy, oil, refining, and chemical sectors. Kobelco Eco-Solutions engages in the development of advanced technology to environment-related fields such as waste water treatment, waste disposal and recycling. Its Kobelco Construction Machinery segment manufactures hydraulic excavators, mini excavators, recycling machines, and wheel loaders and Kobelco Cranes segment involves in offering cranes. During nine months ended December 2010, its Iron and Steel segment contributed 43.96% of total revenue, followed by Kobelco Construction (17.73%), Aluminum and Copper (16.77%), Machinery segment (7.42%), Welding segment (5%), Kobelco Eco-Solutions (3.22%), Other Businesses (2.6%), Natural Resources and Engineering (2.09%), and Kobelco Cranes (1.9%). Diversified operations of the company give it a wide customer base and mitigate the business risk of the company.

 

Weaknesses

 

Over Dependence on Japanese Market

Kobe's operations are highly dependent on Japan which could have a negative effect on its operations. Even though the company’s operations are spread across the globe, it generates a majority of its revenues from the Japanese market. It has three geographical segments, namely, Japan, Asia and Other areas. During the fiscal year ended March 2010, the company earned 86.4% of its revenue from Japanese market followed by Asia (10.5%) and Others areas (3.1%). Geographic concentration makes Kobe vulnerable to potential risks on the Japanese economy, the company's major market.


Decreasing Cash Position

Kobe Steel recorded a significant decrease in its cash and short term investments. The company’s cash and short term investments as of March 2010 were JPY131,939m, a decrease of 29.9% over 2009. Also, it recorded net change in cash of JPY23,559m in fiscal 2010, compared to a net change in cash of JPY121,060m in 2009. The decreasing cash position limits the company’s ability to get additional debt to finance acquisitions, business opportunities, capital expenditures or other capital requirements in the future. The company's current ratio was 1.2 at the end of fiscal year 2010. This was below the Construction Equipment sector average* of 1.92. A lower than sector average* current ratio indicates that the company is in a weaker financial position than other companies in the sector.

 

Opportunities

 

Accelerating Demand for Energy

The accelerating global demand for energy, creating large requirements for power generation and supply services is expected to provide new opportunities for the wholesale energy supply division. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), global energy requirements will increase about 50% by 2030. Energy needs in the Middle East, Africa, and Central and South America should rise by 60%, while doubling in China and India. To fulfill the rising need for power, China is investing $65 billion to expand its existing power infrastructure and India will spend about $13 billion on nuclear power in the next 10 years. Kobe could use its experience to expand its energy supply operations in Asian nations like China and India.

 

Strategic Expansion of Operations

The company focused on strategic capital investment avenues to expand its operations and capture market share in untapped areas. In July 2010, Kobe announced its investment towards constructing a crawler cranes plant in India. In February 2010, the company established its subsidiary, Kobe Welding of Shanghai Co., Ltd. (KWSH) in Shanghai, China for marketing of welding systems and parts in Chinese market. This new plant commenced its business operations during April 2010. Its subsidiary, Kobe Welding of Qingdao Co., Ltd. (KWQ) initiated its sales operation in Chinese market during March 2010. Moreover, in June 2009, the company established its subsidiary Kobelco Machinery India Private Limited in Kolkata, West Bengal, India for marketing its steel production. Kobe Steel’s new large-capacity compressor test facility has begun operations at the company's Takasago Works in Hyogo Prefecture in western Japan.The company’s wholly owned subsidiary Kobelco Cranes Co., Ltd. planned to manufacture crawler cranes in China. Kobelco aims to produce 80 crawler cranes a year to meet around 7% of the total demand in China.Kobe Steel completed the construction of a 10,000-metric-ton forging press line at its Takasago Works in Hyogo Prefecture in western Japan. It invested about JPY22 billion to enlarge the Forging Section's South Plant to house an entire production line. Additionally, the company and United States Steel Corporation reached agreement for their equal partnership joint venture, PRO-TEC Coating Company, to build a continuous annealing line to produce high-strength steel for use in automobiles. Kobe Steel also formed a joint venture with India's Larsen & Toubro Limited to manufacture and sell rubber processing machinery. These expansion efforts of the company will strengthen its presence in emerging economies of China and India and offer new growth opportunities for the company.

 

Joint Ventures and Collaborations

Kobe entered into a number of joint ventures and merger activities to strengthen its product offerings and market reach. In May 2010, Kobe, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Toyota Tsusho Corporation entered into a joint venture agreement to manufacture and market aluminum forgings for automotive suspensions. This new joint venture named as Kobe Aluminum Automotive Products (China) Co. was established to meet the growing orders from automakers in China. In May 2010, Nippon Steel Corporation and Kobe, formed a joint venture to construct a plant to recycle steel mill dust (a byproduct from the steelmaking process) into direct reduced iron. This new joint venture helps the company in insulating the business from uncertain environment of unstable raw material prices and availability. Besides, the company and India's Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), signed a memorandum of understanding for comprehensive strategic collaboration covering technologies, projects and other areas. This cooperative relationship covering a wide range of fields, from upstream to downstream processes, enables to mutually explore collaborative efforts and ventures in the Indian and global market. In addition, recently Hitachi Metals, Ltd., Kobe Steel, Ltd., IHI Corporation, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. jointly established a joint venture called Japan Aeroforge, Ltd. to manufacture large forgings for use in aircraft and power plants. Japan Aeroforge installs Japan's first 50,000 metric ton forging press to manufacture large forgings for the aircraft industry, which is growing worldwide. Such joint ventures and collaborations enables the company to cater to the growing needs of its customers.

 

Threats

 

Stringent Regulations

The company’s design and manufacturing processes are subject to industry and governmental agency standards that may apply to its entire line of products, including all domestic and foreign environmental, structural, electrical and safety codes. Any changes by state and local regulatory authorities in environmental regulations could require major changes in the manufacturing process or product features. This would involve huge investments for the implementation of the changes, leading to an increase in the cost overheads. Non compliance withsuch changing regulations could lead to heavy penalties and fines, thereby putting additional financial burden on the company.

 

Changes in Steel Supply and Demand

The changes in supply or demand in the global steel market may affect the performance of the company. It also faces intense competition from other steelmakers in Japan and other countries. As a result, any decline in the competitiveness of its technologies, cost structure, product quality and other aspects of performance relative to competitors could have an impact on the company's operating results. Also, most of the company's customers in the Steelmaking and Steel Fabrication segment regularly purchase large quantities of steel. Any change in purchasing policies of its major customers could negatively impact the company's operating results.

 

Volatile Raw Material Prices

The volatile raw material prices could have a material impact on the operational costs of the company. The primary raw materials used in the steel production include Iron Ore and coking coal. During the period January–October 2008, the price of iron ore was 72% higher as compared to the same period in 2007. Similarly, the coking coal prices also increased by 81% during the same periods. The higher raw material costs increases the production costs for companies, which forces them to either raise the prices of its products by placing the burden on the consumer, or to take the burden themselves by absorbing the higher costs and decreasing profit margins. Further, the production plants and its machines are powered by oil and natural gas, whose price is also volatile in nature. Thus, the price fluctuations may have a material impact on the product cost and further the operations of the company.

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

 

Kobe Steel announced that it had signed a nonbinding letter of intent with China's Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation to begin a joint study to explore the possibility of establishing a joint venture (JV) in China to make cold-rolled advanced high strength steel sheet used in automobiles.

 

From now, the two companies will hold discussions on the manufacturing equipment, production capacity, location, the role of each company in the project, and other aspects.

 

Kobe Steel plans to consider the use of a continuous annealing line to make cold-rolled advanced high strength steel sheet. Cold-rolled high strength steel generally has a tensile strength of 340 MPa or more. Advanced high strength steel, noted for its outstanding formability, has a tensile strength of 590 MPa or higher. A continuous annealing line is primarily used to make advanced high strength steel sheet.

 

To meet growing demand for high-end steel from China's car industry, Kobe Steel decided to consider setting up a production base in that country to supply automotive cold-rolled steel sheet.

 

The JV will enable Kobe Steel to supply its high strength steel sheet locally to meet the growing demand for lighter vehicles in China.

MoU with Kobe Steel of Japan is intact: SAIL

           

India Public Sector News

18 August 2011

 

[What follows is the full text of the article.]

Mumbai: Maharatna firm Steel Authority of India (SAIL) said that its memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with Kobe Steel Ltd of Japan have not been scrapped and one of the two pacts is in the advanced stage of being finalized, the daily News & Analysis reported.

 

C S Verma, Chairman and Managing Director, SAIL said, "The detailed project report for using Kobe's patented technology for setting up a modular plant in India is ready and now we are working on finalizing a joint venture agreement with them."

 

C S Verma said that once the process is done, SAIL will start work based on the technology from Kobe for setting up a modular 0.5 million tonne per annum plant at Durgapur in West Bengal.

SAIL (BOM:500113) had signed two MoUs with the Japanese company in the last two years, though one of the two pacts has been not been implemented due to non-availability of gas. Under one of the MOU, the two companies had planned to revive the Jagdishpur steel unit in Uttar Pradesh, which the state-run firm SAIL had bought from the ailing Malvika Steel.

 

SAIL had plans to set up a 10,000 million tonne per annum cold forming line and a 13,000 tonne per annum corrugation line and a 475 megawatt power plant at the site. All of this would be gas-based.
