Unit: In Million Yen
Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2012
fiscal term
HIGHLIGHTS
The subject
company was established on the basis of a spun off from current Noritake Co
Ltd, nations largest mfr of ceramic tableware and grinding wheels,
Nagoya. This is the worlds largest mfr
of insulators for power utilities.
Member of Morimura group.
Produces products for use in extensive areas, including automobiles
& environmental protection. Business
is rapidly diversifying into non insulators, such as water-treatment units,
radioactive waste processing systems, automobile ceramic honeycombs for exhaust
filtering, etc. The company has
implemented safety countermeasures for the NAS batteries which has caused fire
accidents. It aims resume shipment of
batteries in the second half of Mar 2013 term.
It has boosted output capacity of high accuracy sensors detecting nitrogen
oxide in exhaust gas.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The sales volume
for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 239,363 million, a 1.6% up from Yen
235,489 million in the previous term. By
Divisions; Electric Power-Related fell 38.3% to Yen 53,854 million, because of
the impact of the strong Yen combined with the continuation of weak demand in
the Chinese market; Ceramics up 22.2% to Yen 1294,295 million, as the sales of
mainstay honeycomb ceramics for gasoline vehicles rose sharply on increased
demand; Electronics up 31.6% to Yen 61,717 million, as sales rose for beryllium
copper products and ceramic products for semiconductor mfg equipment. The recurring profit was posted at Yen 32,726
million and the net profit at Yen 24,463 million, respectively, compared with
Yen 24,850 million recurring profit and Yen 17,808 million net profit,
respectively, a year ago
(Apr/Dec/2011
results): Sales Yen 184,790 million (up 6.5%), operating profit Yen 23,832
million (down 15.3%), recurring profit Yen 24,004 million (down 5.8%), net loss
Yen 40,653 million (previously Yen 18,587 million profits). (% compared with the corresponding period a
year ago). The net losses are referred
to a fire caused by a problem with the companys sodium sulfur batteries, as
reported.
For the term that
ended Mar 2012 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 26,000 million and the
net losses at Yen 40,000 million, respectively, on a 2.4% rise in turnover, to
Yen 245,000 million. Operating profit
decline is decelerating, reflecting brisk sales of ceramics. Final results are yet to be released.
The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY
business engagements.
