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.

Overview

 

NGK Insulators, Ltd (NGK) is engaged in the manufacture and sale of electric insulators, industrial ceramic products, beryllium copper products and plant engineering. It operates through 56 subsidiaries and affiliate companies located in Europe, Africa, North America, Central America and Asia Pacific. The company’s wide business operations and its geographic diversification are its major strengths, even as its declined profit levels remain an area of concern. Nevertheless, it can utilize opportunity through joint ventures and developing innovative products for growth opportunities in future. However, it faces threat from exposure to adverse economic conditions in Japan which may impact the company’s performance.

Strengths

 

Sturdy Research and Development Activities

NGK has a strong research and development (R&D) arm that focuses specifically on deep rooted ceramics technology including materials development and systemization technologies. It conducts effective research and development activities for energy sector, focusing products exploiting ceramics as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and large lithium ion batteries for hybrid vehicles. Under environmental conservation field, NGK has developed porous ceramics for plant engineering of water and sludge treatment; and currently focusing research over porous ceramics material and technologies for gas separation and purification system, starting with hydrogen gas. It focuses to develop tape casting technology for producing ultra-thin ceramics, micro processing technology and high-precision firing techniques. Presently, it’s focusing development of mobile communication devices, motion devices and optical communication devices utilizing technological integration of piezoelectric ceramics. NGK focuses significantly for the development of ceramic material technology, supported by advanced basic technologies of ceramic materials such as analysis and evaluation. For the fiscal year 2011, it incurred a total of JPY1,948m for research and development activities under energy support; JPY3,685m under environmental conservation field and JPY3,067m for development of micro-ceramics actuators. Such strong focused R&D activities provides NGK with an edge over its competitors in operational performance. Product and technology innovations also strengthen the company’s capabilities and provide a source of future revenues.

 

Geographic Diversification

NGK has geographically diversified operations. It is engaged in manufacture and sale of electric insulators, industrial ceramic products, beryllium copper products and plant engineering. It operates through 54 subsidiaries and affiliate companies located in the regions of Europe, Africa, North America, Central America and Asia Pacific that inlcude England, Belgium, Germany, Poland, France, South Africa, China, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, America, Canada and Mexico. For the fiscal year 2012, it recorded 43.8% of the company's total revenue from Japan, followed by Europe (19.2%), North America (16.3%), Asia (13.3%) and Other Areas reported 7.4%) of the company's total revenue. Wide geographic presence decreases the business risk of the company. This also acts as an easy way for the expansion plans of the company, as wider reach in terms of geography would mean reaping more benefits eventually improving the profit margins, attaining economies of scale and recognition on a worldwide basis.

Weaknesses

 

Long Term Liabilities

NGK reported highly leveraged capital structure, which could affect its expansion and growth plans. Up to the end of fiscal 2012, the company reported total debt obligation of JPY131,436m, consisting of unsecured currency bonds and borrowings drawn from banks & financial institutions at rates varying from 0.73% to 1.5% due by 2014 to 2027. Of the total debt obligation, it has 119.8% increased long term debt component of JPY118,701m in 2012. NGK incurred current portion of long term liabilities at JPY8,000m in 2012. It also recorded short-term borrowing loans from banks at weighted-average interest rates of 2.5% and 1.9%, respectively, in fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. As a result, the company reported substantially high debt to equity ratio of 51.59% and debt to capital ratio of 32% for fiscal year 2012. The company incurred this debt to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. If it fails to comply with any of the debt service requirements, the debt could become due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity. Any reduction in revenue and operating cash flows could hinder the company’s ability to repay interest and principal, resulting in default. Hence, such huge debt increases the financial burden on the company, limiting the availability of cash for its growth.

 

Declined Operational Performance

The company recorded a decline in its financial performance for fiscal year 2011. It recorded operating loss of €757m for fiscal year 2011, showing a decrease of 107% over that for fiscal year 2010. However, it recorded revenue of €125,191m for fiscal year 2011. Operating margins declined due to lowered sales in the Power business, which suffered due to an accidental fire caused by a NAS (sodium sulfur) battery used for power storage, in September 2011; and due to lowered demand of insulators in the Japanese and Chinese markets. And its Electronics business registered lowered demand for micro-ceramics actuators used in inkjet printers, and due to lackluster sales reported for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and beryllium copper products. Such decline in operational performance hampered the company's growth and expansion plans. Besides, deteriorating profitability ratios indicate the company’s underperformance and inability to deliver value as expected by its shareholders. In 2012, the company recorded considerable decline in its various profitability indicators. The company's operating margin was -14.57% for fiscal year 2012 compared to 12.4% in 2011. Its return on capital employed, return on assets and return on working capital were - -8.79%, -6.81% and -21.18% in 2012 as compared to 7.3%, 5.09% and 17.55% respectively in 2011.

 

Opportunities

 

Strategic Management Approach

The company initiated medium-term management plan for strategic development and acceleration of development mode. It initiated medium term policy for growth and evolution efforts grounded firmly for unique ceramic technologies, under "Triple-E" business domains of energy, ecology, and electronics. Its medium term policies for fulfilling development mode were, firstly, it focuses strategic growth through establishment of new technologies along with new businesses and products to secure top position against its peer companies. In the area of electrical power, it intends to stabilize NAS battery operations to regain trust and establish firm foothold for future growth; in the area of ceramics, it focuses to utilize demand growth over the medium term for automotive products against expanding vehicle sales in emerging markets. In the area of electronics, NGK intends to expand business domains through mergers and acquisitions to increase earning capacity; and utilize demand with the development of new applications and high-performance products to market. Secondly, it intends to increase return on equity (ROE) by defining roles of group member companies and implementing efficient management policies to capitalize their capacity. And thirdly, it intends to be transparent in operations to shareholders and investors in a timely and proactive manner. Implementation of plan would enable it to gain strong operating margin targeted for 2015. Such management plan and development strategy will increase the scope of its business operation, enabling the company to move away from its dependence on product-focused industry and expand its offerings higher up in the value chain.

 

Rise in Wastewater Treatment Services

The demand for water supply and wastewater treatment has been increasing due to the growing population. The total population is expected to grow by 2.5 billion by the next 40 years; by then all people will be living in the areas that are already scarce in water supply. The business group provides drinking water treatment systems, wastewater treatment systems and domestic waste treatment systems to local municipal entities and government and other public offices. By providing the technology useful for the environmental preservation like drinking water treatment systems, equipment for combustible low level radioactive waste treatment, the company is contributing its best to the society. The company also provides wastewater treatment equipment, sludge dewatering equipment, incinerators and other systems vital to the sewage treatment operations that society depends on each day. Thus, the rise in wastewater treatment services is likely to increase the demand for the company’s products.

 

Favorable Trends in Semiconductor Markets

The company could benefit from the positive outlook for the $205.2 billion semiconductor market. According to a Future Horizons report, the market for semiconductors is projected to reach $385.2 billion by 2014, recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. Moreover, in the coming years, the demand for semiconductors from the automotive industry is expected to be high, as an average vehicle will have more semiconductors with the addition of instruments such as automatic braking systems and accident avoidance systems, and more entertainment systems. A strong product profile will enable the company to maintain its position in the semiconductor market.

 

Threats

 

Stringent Regulations

The operations of the company are subject to environmental laws in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business. The company could be subject to liability if it does not comply with these regulations. In addition, it is responsible for remedial investigations and clean-up costs resulting from the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment, including sites operated by the company and potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Any changes in environmental and other laws and regulations in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect its operations due to increased costs of compliance and potential liability for non-compliance.

 

Intense Competition

The company is subjected to intense competition in the electronic industry. With the entry of many new players in this market, the current level of competition is expected to further intensify in the near future, which may result in price reductions. The company competes with Fuji Electric Holdings Company Limited, Johnson Matthey PLC, and Keyence Corporation of America, Kyocera Corporation, Millipore Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd., Hubbell Incorporated, Brush Engineered Materials Inc. and Tamron Corporation Ltd. If the company is not able to maintain the product quality and consumer loyalty, this intense competition could reduce the sales volume of the company, and thereby hamper its market position

 

Risk from International Operations

The company’s main production bases are located in Aichi Prefecture in Japan, and overseas in North America, Europe, Asia and other regions. One of the major risks for the company is the imposition of new currency remittance restrictions by the government. The company’s foreign operations are subject to other risks including uncertain political, legal and economic environments, incompatibility with foreign joint venture partners, terrorist attacks, fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, the imposition of additional governmental controls and regulations, various environmental laws and regulations, war and civil disturbances and labor problems. Because of these risks, the company’s operations and execution of projects may be limited, it may lose contract rights or increased foreign taxation. In addition, it may have an adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

 

Risk of Technology Obsolescence

The industrial sectors in which the company is operating are subject to significant technological advances and product innovation and development. The company must continuously design new products, and update existing products and develop new technologies to meet its customers demand. The launch of new products and technologies involves a significant commitment to research and development. Upon investing in these new technologies, the company’s profits may suffer if they are not accepted in the marketplace as anticipated. Its competitors may develop innovative technologies and products, which could render its technology and products under development obsolete or uncompetitive.
