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.

Nippon leverages its diversified business segments to maintain and improve its relative competitive edge in the global economy. The company principally classifies its business operations into four main groups: Functional Chemicals Group, Pharmaceuticals Group, Safety Systems Group and Agrochemicals business. The functional chemical segment manufactures and sells functional materials, such as optical functional films for PDPs (plasma display panels), resists for semiconductors, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), epoxy resin, ultraviolet curable resin and high-performance chemicals; electronic information materials, including sealants for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), resin for optical discs, colour for ink-jet printers and optical films, as well as catalysts, such as catalysts for acrylic and methacrylic acid manufacturing. The pharmaceutical segment supplies pharmaceutical products, drug substances, medical intermediates, and diagnostic medicines, among others. The safety systems segment provides inflators for airbags and micro gas generators for seatbelt pretensioners. The agrochemicals segment manufactures and sells agrochemicals. This segment also sells dyes and special color materials for non-fabrics and manufactures detonating powder, black gunpowder and pyrotechnic products. In fiscal year ended 2013, the company recorded 47% of the total revenue from Functional Chemicals Business; 32% from Pharmaceuticals Business; 14.6% from Safety Systems Business; 6.2% of the total income is reported from Other Businesses. Diversified business segments help the company to increase its customer base, thereby reduce product liability risk.

 

Weaknesses

 

Decline in Efficiency Ratios

Nippon reported a fall in its efficiency ratios, which assumes significance as these are used to analyze the uses of assets and liabilities by the company internally. Nippon reported an Asset Turnover ratio of 0.57 times in 2013 as against 0.72 times in 2012, followed by Inventory Turnover of 2.5 times in 2013 as against 0.72 in 2012; Current Asset Turnover of 0.98 times in 2013 as against 1.21 times in 2012, Capital Employed Turnover of 0.85 times against 1.08 times in 2012 and Working Capital Turnover of 1.4 times as against 1.7 times in 2012. Despite the increase in liquidity ratios, namely, current ratio from 3.12 times in 2012 to 3.30 times in 2013 and quick ratio from 2.46 times in 2012 to 2.55 times in 2013, the company’s efficiency ratios declined. The decline in the ratios clearly indicates that the company has not made effective use of its assets and liabilities towards maximizing its bottom line and shareholders wealth.

 

Dependence on Third Party Distributors

Dependence on third party distributors has many associated concern with it, such as termination of contracts and low revenue recognitions, which can adversely affect the company’s products sales. Following a third party agreement confines chances of commercialization of product on its own and the company becomes dependent on the efforts of these distributors for its revenue generation. Thus, the dependency on third party distributors and inability to develop its own marketing and distribution network will be a serious cause of concern for the company.

 

Opportunities

 

Economic Recovery in Japan

Nippon Kayaku, which is a diversified company operating in various segments including functional chemicals, pharmaceuticals safety systems and several other is expected to find considerable opportunity in Japan’s efforts to rebuild the economy. During the last year the Japanese economy was badly affected by major natural disasters including the earthquake in Eastern Japan and floods in Thailand. Rebounding from the effects of the natural disasters, production by automobile manufacturers is expected to pick, which in turn is expected to boost the company’s safety systems business.

 

Changing Demographics

The increasing population of people aged above 60, who consume more medical solutions than the younger population and are more prone to chronic diseases, holds significant market potential for the company. The United Nations Population Division estimated that the number of people aged above 60 years throughout the world will triple to nearly 2 billion by 2050. Globally, the population of older persons is growing at a rate of 2.6% annually. According to the United Nations Population Division, people aged 60 are projected to account for 22% of the total world population by 2050, up from 11% in 2009. In developed economies such as the US, the UK, France, Germany and Japan, the percentage of people aged 65 and older is in double digits and is expected to continue to grow for the next seven years. While developed countries have managed to slow down their overall population growth, the longevity in the elderly population will cause concern in the future. Such a situation will increase the healthcare costs in those countries. The pace of population aging is faster in developing countries than in developed countries. Due to the large volume of the overall population in countries such as China and India, the number of people becoming older is quite high. In 2009, the number of persons aged above 60 increased three and a half times to 737 million globally. There were 12 countries with more than 10 million people aged above 60, including China (160 million), India (89 million), the US (56 million), Japan (38 million), the Russian Federation (25 million) and Germany (21 million). By 2050, 32 countries are expected to have over 10 million people aged above 60, including five countries with more than 50 million older people: China (440 million), India (316 million), the US (111 million), Indonesia (72 million) and Brazil (64 million). This elderly population is expected to exert increasing pressure on the healthcare system.

 

Focus on Oncology

The company could benefit from its focus on oncology. Successful commercialization of the company’s key anti-cancer drugs arterial infusion IA, Paclitaxel Injection, Bicalutamide injection and Arboplatin Intravenous Injection. Based on the in-house research, global oncology therapeutics market is expected to witness moderate growth of 5.69% during 2010–2017, and is expected to reach $48.8 billion mark by 2017. Within the oncology therapeutics market - breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers have the largest market in terms of the number of patients diagnosed. The overall oncology market will witness moderate growth phase, with prostate cancer and ovarian cancer therapeutics markets are expected with high growth trajectories during the forecast period. In addition, indications such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are expected to witness moderate growth trends. Furthermore, other factors such as rapid uptake of targeted therapies in key cancer indications with increased efficacy and reduced toxicity is expected to contribute to the growth. The prevalence of cancer is expected to double in the coming two decades owing to the steady increase in the elderly population. Senior citizens already contribute a great deal to the sales of drugs for most of the age related cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, melanoma, and brain cancer. Nippon Kayaku can leverage this market potential in oncology to fuel its business growth in future.

 

Threats

 

Uncertain R&D Outcomes

Adverse or inconclusive results from preclinical testing or clinical trials may substantially delay or halt the development of the company's various product candidates, consequently affecting its timeliness for profitability. The outcome of clinical trials is always a subject of uncertainty. After the discovery of a new compound, substantial amount of money and a great deal of time need to be invested to successfully launch a new product. Moreover, it may become necessary to discontinue clinical development if the effectiveness of a drug is not proven as initially expected, or if serious adverse effects arise. In addition, pharmaceuticals are subject to legal restrictions in every country and authorization from regulatory authorities is a prerequisite for a product launch in every country. It is difficult to accurately foresee when approvals for a new product could be obtained.

 

Environmental Protocols

Compliance to environmental protocols is seriously considered among the industrial countries. The Kyoto Protocol came into the picture during 2005 to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases by the nations. According to this protocol by 2012, Japan has to reduce the greenhouse gases by 14%. The reduction target for Japan is 6%. The government will force the industries in Japan to reduce the emission of gases. As a result, the company should reduce the emission of green house gases by implementing new technologies. This may incur additional expenditures for the company increasing its production costs.

 

Consolidation of Japanese Chemical Industry

The competition in the Japanese chemical industry is increasing. The current restructuring between the major players lead to consolidation within the industry. Some of the major contenders in the Japanese chemical industry already formed alliances. The major alliances include alliance between Idemitsu Kosan and Mitsui Chemicals; and the joint venture between Ube-Maruzen Polyethylene, Maruzen Petrochemicals and Ube Industries. These restructuring activities resulted in consolidated market position of these major players. Consolidation of Japanese chemical industry may lead to pricing pressures on Nippon. It may affect the market position of the company in the chemical sector in Japan.
