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.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1878 by Shozo Kawasaki for mfg Western-style oceangoing steel ships, on his account, and was incorporated in 1986.  This is a comprehensive heavy electric machinery mfg & engineering company, with strength in railroad rolling stocks, motorcycles and medium-sized gas turbines.  Also major shipbuilder.  Since incorporated spun off various divisions, such as steel, transportation, etc into independent firms, which now constitute its main group firms.  In Oct 2006, spun off its environmental operations (handling refuse incineration facilities & recycling facilities for natural resources).  Because construction of major refuse incineration facilities peaked the firm decided to restructure operations.  Highly competitive in railway rolling stock & medium-size gas turbines.  Purchased cement business from IHI.  Joined environmental equipment production in China.  New shipbuilding yard in Dalian (China) completed in 2010.  In rolling stock, the firm puts hopes in North America, rich with a number of railway projects.  It won orders for an LNG ship in June 2012 for the first time in five terms.  It is constructing a new motorcycle plant in S/E Asia.  It plans to start the direct production of sports motorcycles in India.  Currently, Kawasaki consigns production there to Bajaj Auto Ltd, a local firm, but plans to complete the switch to its own production using its own workers within this year.

Intra-company Organizations: Ship & Offshore Structure Company, Rolling Stock Company, Aerospace Company, Gas Turbine & machinery Company, Plants & Infrastructure Company, Motorcycles & Engine Company, Precision Machinery Company.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Mar/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,303,778 million, a 6.2% up from Yen 1,226,949 million in the previous term. Japan economy was initially forecast to remain stagnant owing to such factors as disruption of supply chains after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the historically high Yen and adverse impacts from floods in Thailand.  However, signs of recovery gradually emerged toward the end of the fiscal year.  China has maintained high economic growth albeit at a slower pace, and infrastructure demand in emerging economies, including Asia and Brazil, remained firm.  Orders received totaled Yen 1,311.8 billion, a Yen 41.2 billion increase compared with the previous year.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 63,627 million and the net profit at Yen 23,323 million, respectively, compared with Yen 49,136 million recurring profit and Yen 25,965 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Sept/2012 results): Sales Yen 574,999 million (down 1.7%), operating profit Yen 10,391 million (down 60.9%), recurring profit Yen 20,165 million (down 25.9%), net profit Yen 12,429 million (down 30.2%).  (% compared with the same period last year). 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 50,000 million and the net profit at Yen 30,000 million, respectively, on a 0.2% fall in turnover, to Yen 1,300,000 million.  Motorcycle business will become profitable.  Aircraft and gas turbine sales will fare well.  But shipbuilding will post an operating deficit, and main proit-earner construction machinery hydraulic equipment will fall further than expected after the pullout from China.  Operating profit drop will expand due to the strong Yen.

 

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