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.  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.  Aiming to start a business in untapped markets, the firm will establish a base in Brazil in Jan 2012, and in eastern Europe, a relatively small market.  It is planning to do market research in Finland and start an intensive marketing in the country.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 163,153 million, a 20.6% up from Yen 135,979 million in the previous term.  Market revived after being substantially affected by the global economic downturn in the last term.  Exports revived and brisk, particularly into China & India.  By divisions, Metal Processing Div up 16.7% to Yen 1,090 million; Metal Processing Machine Tools Div up 36.8% to Yen 249 million.  Operations returned to profitability to post Yen 6,757 million recurring profit and Yen 2,716 million net profit, respectively, compared with Yen 4,416 million recurring loss and Yen 3,739 million net losses, respectively, a year ago

 

(Apr/Dec/2010 results): Sales Yen 124,824 million (up 14.3%), operating profit Yen 4,427 million (up from Yen 440 million profit), recurring profit Yen 4,092 million (up from Yen 1,032 million profit), net profit Yen 889 million (up from Yen 50 million profit).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Japan’s machine tool makers are benefiting from a sharp pickup in orders as companies begin rebuilding production sites in Thailand damaged by last year’s massive floods.  Demand associated with fixing Thai facilities could exceed Yen 160 billion, according to SMBC Nikko Securities Ins.  Machine tool demand has been particularly brisk, with orders for units headed to Thailand more than quadrupling from a year earlier to Yen 8 billion in December, said the Japan Machine Tool Builders’ Association.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 11,500 million and the net profit at Yen 5,500 million, respectively, on a 16.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 190,000 million.  Sales of sheet metal processing machinery bound for China are edging down, but those of production bound for the domestic and European markets are at a high level.  Cutting machines & machine tools remain brisk.  Gross profit margin is improving, thanks to higher plant utilization.  Foreign exchange loss is increasing sharply under the stronger Yen.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.            Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 6,832.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
