JAPAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

In the years following World War II, government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A tiny agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually self-sufficient in rice, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2011 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2011. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan further into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake in March disrupted manufacturing. Electricity supplies remain tight because Japan has temporarily shut down almost all of its nuclear power plants after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors were crippled by the earthquake and resulting tsunami. Estimates of the direct costs of the damage - rebuilding homes, factories, and infrastructure - range from $235 billion to $310 billion, and GDP declined almost 0.5% in 2011. Prime Minister Yoshihiko NODA has proposed opening the agricultural and services sectors to greater foreign competition and boosting exports through membership in the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks and by pursuing free-trade agreements with the EU and others, but debate continues on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major long-term challenges for the economy.

Key Organizational Changes

Although there was some recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake in fiscal 2012, the economic environment has continued to be difficult, due to factors such as the global economic slowdown, the persistently strong yen against the dollar and the euro, and the Thailand floods. The Furukawa Electric Group has taken measures in the face of such headwinds, such as a complete withdrawal from the glass substrate business and the streamlining of our copper tube operations in Japan, but at the same time we also engaged in growth initiatives such as expanding capacity for production of copper foil for lithium-ion batteries and expanding the range of applications for microcellular foamed sheet (MCPET). Also, through our acquisition of the U.S. Company SuperPower, Inc., the Furukawa Electric Group became the world’s only total supplier of second generation high- emperature superconducting products, offering everything from wire through equipment. We also advanced our aluminum business globally by building new production bases in North America and China. Nonetheless, the Furukawa Electric Group’s consolidated results for fiscal 2012 reflect decreased revenue and earnings due to factors such as the difficult operating environment and the fine paid for violating U.S. antitrust laws, which was posted as an extraordinary loss.

Overview

 

The Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (Furukawa) provides photonics, metals and plastic products to varied industries including telecommunications, automobiles and transportation, electronics, energy, and construction and building. Diversified product portfolio and focused research and development activities are the key strengths of the company. Going forward, growing demand for telecommunication infrastructure, and its strategic acquisitions in emerging markets may minimize the risk associated with competition, economic situation, and technological changes.

 

 

Strengths

 

Diversified Product Portfolio

Furukawa manufactures photonics, metals and plastics components for varied industries including communications, transportation, energy, construction, material and electronics. The company offers optical fiber cables, optical components, optical broadband systems, metal communication cables, and wireless communication products to the communications industry. To the electronics industry, the company provides materials for electronic products, wiring materials, antennas, material for casing, car electronics, and opto-electronic devices. Furukawa offers automotive connectors and parts, wire harnesses, electric wires and aluminum products to the automotive sector. It provides power cables, power transmission products, cable accessories and connecting products to the energy industry. For the construction industry, the company provides metal tubes, water feeding piping systems, insulations, fire prevention products and heating systems. The company also provides semiconductor materials, mounting components, electronic component materials, electronic appliance wires, magnet wires and heat sinks. Further, the company manufactures wrought copper, aluminum and plastic products as well as brass mill products such as plates, strips, tubes, bars, and wires. In March 2011, the company launched a Raman amplifier (HPU42000 Series) with a built-in automatic gain control (AGC) function. The Raman amplifier offers ease of system implementation and superior noise characteristics, which in combination with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) improves optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) as well as compensates for optical loss resulting from optical transmission lines and optical components. In addition, the company’s OFS introduced TrueWave HD ocean fiber, featuring high negative dispersion for improved non-linearity performance in transoceanic applications. Such diversified product portfolio allows the company to minimize business risk from concentration on single product and provides an edge over its competitors.

 

Robust Research and Development

The company offers its customers new products and services from innovative developments from its R&D capabilities which enhance its business. Furukawa operates a total of seven R&D facilities, of which five are located in Japan, one in Hungary and one in the US. The company has developed superconductive cable materials, optical interconnections, fiber lasers for industrial use, antenna modules for ubiquitous computing, on-board sensors for automobiles and power-source management modules through its research and development centers. In last three years, the company has invested JPY 55,461m in its research and development activities. In addition, Furukawa and Fuji Electric Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. jointly established an R&D company aimed at collaborative development of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power devices. The partnership is scheduled to be established in July 2010 and practical use of the power devices will commence in 2011. The strong R&D capabilities of the company enable it to implement innovative technology and deliver advance products, and services that meet its customers' critical needs.

 

Operational Efficiency

The company reported strong operational efficiency with decreased cost and increased margins. Furukawa’s operating income in 2011 accounted for JPY 24,296m of the company’s total revenue, representing an increase of 245.9% over JPY 7,023m in 2010. The company also reported increased operating margin of 2.62% for the fiscal year 2011 as compared to 0.86% in 2010. The increased operating margin may indicate efficient cost management or a strong pricing strategy by the company. The company's operating margin has increased 175 bps over 2010 which may indicate that the management has been focusing on profitability. On the other hand, the company reduced its operating cost as percentage of sales to 97.37% in 2011 from 99.13% in 2010. Similarly, its administrative cost also decreased to 10.71% in 2011 as compared to 11.35% in 2010. The decreasing cost structure improves the margin position of the company.

 

 

Weaknesses

 

Limited Geographical Presence

The company operates a major portion of its business in Japan. Although it has its geographic presence across the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America, it generates a significant amount of revenue from its domestic operations in Japan. The company generates about 70% of the total revenue from Japan. This concentrated revenue from one region increases the business risk of the company. If the business environment of the region turns adverse or the demand declines, then it would have an adverse affect on the business operations of the company.

 

 

Opportunities

 

Strategic Acquisitions

Furukawa through strategic acquisitions is leading its inorganic growth. In May 2011, the company’s Furukawa Industrial S.A. Produtos Electricos reached an agreement with local shareholders to acquire Metrocable, a local company that manufactures and sells optical fiber cables. In addition, an application has been made to the examination organization of Brazil relating to the anti-monopoly act (SBDC) to obtain approval for the acquisition. Earlier, the company and Furukawa Automotive Systems Inc. acquired a major stake in Lear Furukawa Corporation. The company also acquired 46% of the outstanding shares of Permintex Industries Sdn. Bhd increasing its share from 5% to 51%. The company by capitalizing on common synergies will increase its customer base, penetrate into new markets with innovative products and increase its market shares.

 

Demand for Telecommunication Infrastructure

Furukawa plans to expand its transmission infrastructure business across the world based on the driving demand from the emerging economies and upgrades from the developed nations. The emerging BRIC and ASEAN economies are expected to drive the growth for the transmission infrastructure like electricity grids and telecoms. The optical fiber market driven by the 3G mobile investment is expected to have a demand of 6-7% per annum by 2012. New installations in emerging countries and renewals in old countries are supposed to drive the growth of the ultra-high voltage cable market. Big projects in emerging countries are expected to drive the growth of high-speed railway market.

 

Growing Telecommunications Industry

The company, being a provider of electronic components and network solutions to telecommunications market, could augment its operational revenue with rapid growth in the global telecommunications services market. According to Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), steady growth is projected in the US and global telecom market in the future. This growth could generate an estimated $4.9 trillion in revenue by the end of 2013. The global telecom market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% between 2009 and 2013, while the US telecom market is expected to grow at 3.7% CAGR during the same period. Also, China would lead the ranking of TIA’s top ten countries in telecommunications-based revenue, with $335 billion revenue in 2011, followed by Japan with $200 billion, Germany with $192 billion, the UK with $172 billion, Italy with $122 billion, France with $113 billion, India with $107 billion, Mexico with $80 billion, and Spain with $77 billion.

 

Outlook for EMS

The global electronic manufacturing services (EMS) industry, in which the company operates, has been growing rapidly with better prospects for future growth. According to Analysts, the global market for EMS is projected to reach $435 billion by 2013. The market is likely to be driven by strong demand for electronic assembly services, which is expected to exceed $1.2 trillion by 2013. The demand for EMS is expected to be high in low-cost countries in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. The Asia-Pacific EMS market represents the largest and the fastest growing market. The company could benefit from such positive outlook for EMS.

 

 

Threats

 

Rapid Technological Changes

The company's offerings are characterized by rapid technology changes, which may affect its business operations. To compete effectively with its peers, the company should continually introduce new products that meet and exceed the customers’ requirements. The introduction of products using new technologies or the adoption of new industry standards can make existing products, or products under development, obsolete or unmarketable. Inability to study the evolving technological landscape may impact the company’s competitive position.

 

Highly Competitive Market

Furukawa competes with international as well as regional companies. Many of these companies are larger than Furukawa and have substantial financial resources and marketing depth. A few of the company’s key competitors include Fujikura Ltd, General Cable Corp, Nexans SA, Prysmian SpA, and Walsin Lihwa Corp. Apart from these major companies, it also faces competition from smaller companies that concentrate on a particular business or geographic segment. Intense competition from established players and small companies offering new insurance products could have a negative impact on the company’s operations. Such rising competition in the market is a major challenge to the company.

 

Laws and Regulations

As the company is the global player, the regulations and policies of local and international government may affect the subsidiaries and affiliates. The company’s operations are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulatory authorities in the market. Government laws and regulations include business and investment permits, as well as customs duties and other import and export regulations. The directive restricts the use of hazardous materials in the manufacture of items such as computers, communication devices and home appliances. These laws and regulations may restrict the business activities of the company and lead to an increase in costs which would reduce operating margins.

The Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. announced that it has lowered the consolidated full-year forecast for revenue from JPY 950,000 million to JPY 935,000 million, operating profit from JPY 31,000 million to JPY 17,000 million, ordinary profit from JPY 29,000 million to JPY 14,500 million and net profit (loss) from JPY 3,000 million to JPY (5,000 million) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. The Company lowered the consolidated full-year outlook due to flood disaster in Thailand and raising value of yen. The Company has affirmed the mid-year dividend forecast of JPY 2.50 per share and amended the year-end dividend forecast from JPY 3.00 per share to an undetermined value for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. According to I/B/E/S Estimates, analysts were expecting the Company to report revenue of JPY 956.15 billion and net profit of JPY 6.46 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2012.
