HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is a medium-sized chemical mfr of Mitsui group.  Originally founded in 1933 as Yahagi Kogyo Co Ltd for mfg ammonium sulfate, sulfuric & nitric acid using surplus electricity from the then parent company, Mitsui Chemical Co Ltd.  In 1942, reorganized and established second Yahagi Kogyo Co Ltd.  In 1944, merged 3 soda companies and became general chemical maker, named Toagosei Chemical Industry Co Ltd, and later renamed as captioned.  Shifted mainstay items from electrolytic process chemicals to acrylic-based products.  Leads the industry in acrylic-related products.  Instant glue is another revenue source.  Known for end-product instant glue “Aron Alpha”.  Expectation on growth of LHC, purest in Japan, for use as cleaning agent for semiconductor wafers.  The company is starting up facilities with 5,000-ton capacity for electrolytic materials for vehicle-use lithium-ion batteries, and is likely to add more facilities, depending on the situation.  Singapore subsidiary is promoting water-soluble polymers.  Acrylic acid production capacity in Oita will be raised by 2.3-fold to 140,000 tons in May 2013.

 

Overseas Subsidiaries: Toagosei America (Ohio); TOA-DIC Zhangjiagang Chemical, Toagosei Hong Kong; Toagosei (Zhuhai) (--China); Taiwan Toagosei, TOA Jet Chemical (--Taiwan), Toagosei Singapore (Singapore); Toagosei Korea Co Ltd

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Dec/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 153,007 million, a 0.5% down from Yen 153,779 million in the previous term.  In the chemical industry, the earnings continued under pressure due to rising raw materials and fuel prices including crude oil and naphtha prices, as well as declining demand for electronic materials, especially LCDs, and semiconductors.  In addition, market conditions for petrochemical products in Asia took a negative turn in the second half.  By divisions, Basic Chemicals up 5.4% to Yen 48,112 million; Acrylic Div down 4.7% to Yen 57,466 million; Functional Products down 3.2% to Yen 16,152 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 17,569 million and the net profit at Yen 13,000 million, respectively, compared with Yen 20,941 million recurring profit and Yen 13,133 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

           

Jan/Mar/2012 results): Sales Yen 26,729 million (down 4.9%), operating profit Yen 3,358 million (down 38.6%), recurring profit Yen 3,441 million (down 38.0%), net profit Yen 2,199 million (down 34.1%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago). 

 

For the current term ending Dec 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 17,300 million and the net profit at Yen 10,000 million, on a 2.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 157,000 million.  The market price of acrylic ester will slip back and photo-curing resins will be at rock bottom.  But price hikes of caustic soda will full contribute in the second half.  Sales of high-purity inorganic chemicals for semiconductors will recover.  Operating profit will bottom out thanks in part to change of depreciation method at subsidiaries.  Extraordinary profit on negative goodwill will not be posted.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
