MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 16,829.2 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

                        Forecast figures for the 31/03/2012 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is one of the largest mfrs of electric wires & cables.  Advanced into rolled copper business in 1934 and grew into comprehensive nonferrous metal maker.  Presently optical fiber cables major earnings source.  Stressing copper foils.  The company’s strategy focusing on high-function materials such as HDD glass substrates came to a deadlock.  From now on, the make of electric wires & cables may lay stress on its original forte and peripheral products, including optical fibers bound for overseas, industrial-use electric wires and harnesses.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar 2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 926,754 million, a 14.3% up  from Yen 809,693 million in the previous term.  Global economy shifted into a recovery phase, but uncertainty remained, owing to such factors as potential rise in crude oil prices.  Japanese economy showed signs of recovery in the first half of the fiscal year, but ensuring Yen appreciation and the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake rendered the economic outlook unreadable.  .  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 31,422 million and the net profit at Yen 12,213 million, respectively, compared with Yen 19,347 million recurring profit and Yen 9,704 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Dec/2011 results): Sales Yen 692,899 million (up 0.9%), operating profit Yen 11,543 million (down 56.6%), recurring profit yen 9,656 million (down 57.9%), net loss Yen 14,784 million.  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

 

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 29,000 million and the net profit at Yen 11,500 million, on a 2.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 950,000 million.  Due to a rise in prices of material copper, overall sales will increase in nominal terms.  Sale of liquid- and semiconductor-related products has plunged since Sept 2011.  A high Yen and Thai floods may reduce profits by Yen 5 million.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 16,829.2 million, on 30 days normal terms.
