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 figures for the 31/03/2014 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the high-ranking mfr of semiconductor wire bonders in the world.  Independent firm and delivers to most of IC makers.  Emphasis put more on tapes for automated bonding (TAB) for multipin ICs.  Expanding applications of bonders for LED equipment makers, etc.  Borrowings-free management.  The company will spend R&D costs mainly on flip-chip bonders in view of active inquiries from mobile semiconductor makers.  It intends to transfer wire bonder production lines to its plant in Thailand whose start-up is scheduled for spring 2013.  It will transfer extra staff in domestic plants to production of new products. .The company will launch flip chip bonders for advanced processes to cultivate demand from mobile phone-related makers in March 2014 term.  Sales are likely to exceed the breakeven point at Yen 20 billion in the March 2016 term, supported by the sales growth of newly-launched products.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 11,350 million, a 15.3% down from Yen 13,396 million in the previous term.  Clearer signs of a slowdown in economic growth were seen even in the emerging nations, including China, which suffered from the deceleration of exports and weak domestic demand.  In the semiconductor industry, the launch of new smartphones and tablet PC’s were favorable during the first half of the year, but the demand for these products became nearly saturated in the developed nations, resulting in a decline in the demand for semiconductors.  The operations continued in the red to post Yen 2,051 million recurring loss and Yen 2,120 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 2,487 million recurring loss and Yen 4,647 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Jun/2013 results): Sales Yen 1,728 million (down 65.8%), operating loss Yen 865 million (previously Yen 56 million loss), recurring loss Yen 801 million (previously Yen 98 million loss), net losses Yen 804 million (previously Yen 155 million loss).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

 

For the current term ending Mar 2014 the operations are projected to continue in the deficit to post Yen 2,800 million recurring loss and Yen 2,700 million net losses, respectively, despite a 14.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 13,000 million.  Sales of mainstay wire bonders and die borders are remaining at the bottom in the first half, but will rebound slightly in the second half.  The demand for PCs and televisions is not strong.  Plant utilization will stagnate at the domestic plants, negatively affected by the start of mass production at a plant in Thailand in Apr 2013.  Operating account deficit will enlarge, but partly by increase in R&D expenses, despite continued reduction In personnel expenses through lay-off.

 

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