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 1943 as JV by Mitsui & Co and present Toray Ind for mfg surfactants.  This is a major performance chemicals mfr of diverse intermediate chemicals with surfactants as core product.  World’s first producer to commercialize super-absorbent resin.  Operates under intra-company venture organizations.  Amid the global economic downturn, the firm decided In Apr 2009 emergency measures which include: further cuts in executive remuneration, continued salary cuts for managerial staff and carry-over of non-pressing investments.  A lubricant additive plant in the US went operation, and a functional PPG plant will start up gradually.  Capacity expansion of super-absorbent resins from 270,000 tons to 340,000 tons, scheduled for the March 2015 term, will be delayed somewhat.  Feasibility study on synthetic rubber business in Thailand is now being conducted. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 142,652 million, a 1.1% up from Yen 141,041 million in the previous term.  Sales of lubricant additives were strong.  In super-absorbent resin business, the operating rate of newly added facilities in China went up in the second half.  By divisions, Toiletries & Healthcare up 8.3% to Yen 55,283 million; Machinery & Automobiles up 0.6% to Yen 32,790 million; Plastic & others down 5.7% to Yen 17,569 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 7,266 million and the net profit at Yen 4,179 million, respectively, compared with Yen 6,958 million recurring profit and Yen 3,704 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.,

                       

For the current term ending Mar 2014 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 8,100 million and the net profit at Yen 4,900 million, respectively, on a 9% rise in turnover, to Yen 155,000 million.  Super-absorbent resin business in China will enjoy full operation.  Sales of lubricant additives will continue strong, while PPG exports will rally thanks to the lower Yen.  Business in Thailand will get on track and contribute.

 

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