COMMENT

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN NONFERROUS METALS. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDONARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

                        Unit: Million Yen

Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2013 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of spun-off from nonferrous metals sales firm of Sojitz Corp, major general trading house in Japan.  This is a leading nonferrous metals trading firm, including aluminum & copper.  Strengthening business in rare metals including titanium.  Also deals in const5ruction and other industrial materials.  Reinforcing fuel-battery-use aluminum & solar power-use metal silicon.  Allotting surplus funds for M&A and loan repayment.  The company needs M&A projects to attain the current profit target of Yen 4.5 billion in the March 2015 term.  It might plan M&A for a wide range of firms ranging from upstream to downstream sectors.  In Jan 2012, the firm acquired 25% of all outstanding shares of Shanghai Longyang Precise Compound Tube Co Ltd, a part of the Golden Dragon Group, the world’s largest mfr of precision copper tubes. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Mar/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 220,703 million, a 39.7% up from Yen 157,979 million in the previous term.  Sales rose sharply throughout the year particularly from the electronic materials industry, and the construction materials industry due to post-quake reconstruction demand.  Demand from the auto industry, which had fallen sharply early in the year, recovered as supply chains were restored rapidly.  By divisions, light metals & copper products up 2.5% to Yen 66,859 million; electronics & functional materials up 103.1% to Yen 121,222 million, as demand sharply increased from digital consumer electronics and semiconductor industries which rushed to build up inventories ahead of peak electricity demand in summer; nonferrous materials down 0.3% to Yen 26,300 million; construction and industrial materials up 33.8% to Yen 13,180 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 4,499 million and the net profit at Yen 2,450 million, respectively, compares with Yen 2,963 million recurring profit and Yen 1,901 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Profits rose sharply as greater sales of high-margin minor metals and rare earths offset higher SG&A expenses.

 

            For the current term ending Mar 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 3,700 million and the net profit at Yen 2,200 million, on a 7.1% fall in turnover, to Yen 205,000 million.  Sales of aluminum, copper, and nonferrous materials, will bottom out, helped by recovery of automobile production.  Reconstruction demand for industrial materials will emerge, but unit price of rare earth will inevitably drop from higher market prices in the first half of the preceding term.  Conservative buying behaviors among customers will also hurt. 

 

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