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,

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.

Business merger with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding wound up, but the company will possibly consider tie-ups in marine resource business.  In the energy business, it will sell distributed power systems using small gas turbines, including to S/E Asia.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,288,881 million, a 1.1% down from Yen 1,303,778 million in the previous term.  Sales of mainline hydraulic equipment for construction machinery plunged.  Operating profit shrunk.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 39,328 million and the net profit at Yen 30,864 million, respectively, compared with Yen 63,627 million recurring profit and Yen 23,323 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Jun/2013 results): Sales Yen 282,509 million (down 0.3%), operating profit Yen 16,752 million (up 164.4%), recurring profit Yen 9,400 million (down 19.8%), net profit Yen 4,496 million (down 25.4%).  (% compared with the same period last year). 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2014 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 53,000 million and the net profit at Yen 34,000 million, respectively, on a 7.0% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,380,000 million.  Motorcycle sales will soar thanks to the weaker Yen, and the aircraft business will continue to show improved profit margin.  Below-cost orders for railway rollingstock will come to an end, and hydraulic equipment sales for machinery in China will bottom out.  Operating profits will recover.

 

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