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.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is one of the 2 largest printing companies, known for steady management.  Promoting computerized printing.  Printing out into diverse fields, such as electronic precision components like photo masks, IC lead frames, PCBs, etc.  Has major consolidated subsidiaries listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.  The company is targeting 20% market share in dedicated terminals for e-books in the Mar 2016 term, aiming at middle-aged and senior citizen customers.  Related business is anticipated to post Yen 17 billion sales in the current term, from Yen 13 billion in the preceding term.  Contact: Investor Relations Division, Tokyo Stock Exchange for financials.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for 31/03/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,502,307 million, a 0.5% down from Yen 1,510,414 million in the previous term.  Sales of catalogue printing and construction materials fared well, but the electronics business, including LCD filters failed to recover.    The recurring profit was posted at Yen 36,966 million and the net profit at Yen 18,562 million, respectively, compared with Yen 30,850 million recurring profit and Yen 3,068 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Net profit bloated on profit from the establishment of retirement benefit trust.

 

((Apr/Jun/2013 results): Sales Yen 363,179 million (up 0.5%)), operating profit Yen 4,927 million (up 184.2%), recurring profit Yen 9,206 million (up 229.6%), net profit Yen 4,111 million (up 758.3%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Strong smartphone demand and the weak Yen helped push its LCD parts & materials business into the black.

           

For the current term ending Mar/2014 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 35,000 million and the net profit at Yen 15,000 million, on a 1.2%% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,520,000 million.  Publication printing will slump but IC cards, including for electronic money, will grow.  The electronics business will recover, backed by bottomed-out sales of mainstay small & midsize LCD filters and photomasks.   

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 56,848.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
