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 small agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice production, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. 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. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen into recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan 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 and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the two years since the disaster, but reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Newly-elected Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus and regulatory reform and has said he will press the Bank of Japan to loosen monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2012 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 2012. The new government will continue a longstanding debate 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.

Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/10/2013 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established in order to mfr centrifugal separators on technical tie up with Sharpless Corp, USA.  Pioneer in this field with D-canter model holding 50% domestic market share.  The firm operates in three business segments: Machinery & Equipment segment engaged in mfg and sale of centrifuge decanter, the provision of after service, as well as the proc-easing and sale of components; Chemical Products segment is engaged in mfg and sale of films, nylon insert lock nuts, plastic surface treatment machines, inorganic materials, organic materials, ceramics, thermal insulators, metallic materials, carbon-graphite & bonding wires, etc; Others segment is engaged in the delivery and sore management of products.  Active in overseas operations covering China, India, Indonesia, other S/E Asian markets, emphasizing on petrochemical, food and sewage treatment industries.  Diversified into trading of petrochemical products, which division now accounts for 70% of total sales.  The company decreased the sales target for centrifugal separators bound for North America from 168 units to 77 units in the October 2013 term. 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Oct/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 41,575 million, a 1.9% down from Yen 42,375 million in the previous term.  During the term, the Japanese economy’s shift toward recovery was sustained throughout the first half by factors such as the gradual broadening of restoration demand related to the Great East Japan Earthquake and a recovery in personal consumption.  Sales decline reflects lower sales of equipment and systems for China and a decease in sales of works for domestic public sector demand in the Machinery & Equipment Business, and a drop in sales in the domestic advanced materials sector and plastics sector in the Chemical Products Business.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,605 million and the net profit at Yen 1,616 million, respectively, compared with Yen 2,595 million recurring profit and Yen 2,915 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

            (Nov/2012-Apr/2013 results): Sales Yen 19,370 million (down 8.4%), operating profit Yen 998 million (down 28.7%), recurring profit Yen 1,075 million (down 28.8%), net profit Yen 631 million (down 37.7%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

           

            For the current term ending Oct 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 1,700 million and the net profit at Yen 1,010 million, respectively, on an 8.7% fall in turnover, to Yen 38,800 million.  In the machinery mfg business, unit prices are declining, and new orders for centrifugal separators for oil fields for North America are postponed, as correction of defects in the parts is taking time.  Sales of abrasive grain recycle systems for solar batteries are slumping in China.  In the imported chemical products sales business, demand for multipurpose resin products and semiconductor-use products are stagnating, and profit margin will fall under the weaker Yen.  Operating profit will sag. 

 

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