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.

Weaknesses

 

Increasing Accounts Receivable

Increasing accounts receivable affect the company’s competitiveness and profitability. Its trade accounts receivable increased to JPY64,277m in 2012 from JPY56,398m in 2011, showing an increase of 14% over the period. The company entered into several factoring agreements with customers, mainly through third party credit providers on short terms. Its receivable increased mainly due to substantial sales growth in the Processed Foods and Logistics businesses which lead to an increase in inventories of JPY5,508m as a result of progress in frozen food procurement for sales growth. As a result, its inventory turnover has declined from 11.77 in 2011 to 10.43 in 2012, indicating inadequate supplies for sales. However, the company retained allowance for doubtful accounts at JPY196m in 2012 compared to JPY168m in 2011, based on credibility evidence of creditors. Such increasing doubtful debts, along with accounts receivable, reflect inefficient credit management by the company. In the backdrop of growing economic recession, the probability of defaults by creditors increased, which may impact the overall financial position as well as profitability of the company.

 

Long Term Liabilities

The company 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 JPY97,822m, consisting of bonds, leased obligations and asset retirement obligations. Of the total debt obligation, it has 76.9% increased long term debt component of JPY 75,409m in 2012. Nichirei also incurred current portion of long term liabilities at JPY1,586m in fiscal 2012. It also has short term debts and accounts payable of JPY12,134m and JPY28,425m in 2012, as compared to JPY29,549m and JPY24,466m in fiscal year 2011. As a result, the company reported substantial debt to equity ratio of 83.73% and debt to capital ratio of 47.4% for fiscal year ended March 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.

 

 

Opportunities

 

Growth in Logistics Market

The freight and logistics market is growing globally, which offers a huge scope for the company to grow in the long run. In 2010, the Japan Logistics and Express Sector increased by 5% to reach a robust $248 billion. The global logistics and express market will reach a value of $4 trillion by 2013, up from $3.5 trillion in 2010. The company can integrate itself with its customer base to better position its value proposition of its service offering. Moreover, the traditional distinctions between forwarding and logistics are blurring. Being the major player in the logistic business the company would benefit from the strong growth prospects.

 

Huge Potential in the Emerging Markets

The fast paced growth in the emerging economies offer a huge growth potential for the company by leveraging its strong brand and product portfolio. The emerging economies like China, India, Brazil, Russia and Taiwan are estimated to witness a 10% growth for the next seven years. According to the World Bank, the global GDP was 2.7% in 2010, is expected to grow 3.2% in 2011. The prospects for developing countries are better with a relatively robust recovery, likely to grow 5.8% in 2011. Further, GDP in rich countries was 1.8% in 2010 and is expected to increase 2.3% in 2011. Furthermore, the World trade volumes, which fell by a staggering 14.4% in 2009, are projected to expand 6.2% in 2011, respectively. Growth in the East Asia and Pacific region (especially China) as well as South Asia (especially India) has been resilient. India and China’s GDP is expected to grow at 9.3% and 9.5%, respectively during 2010- 2011. The growing economy has generated new employment opportunities for the residents and has provided a boost to their earnings. This rise in disposable income of the people has changed their buying behavior. As the company has operations in China and Thailand, it can leverage the growth avenues in other emerging markets of Asia.

 

Rising Demand for Sea Food and Meat Products

The Sea Food sector has seen dramatic growth in recent years with consumer demand rapidly increasing across the world. For instance, Japan Sea Food industry exports rose by 13.1% to about JPY 286.5 billion. This was due to strong sales of salmon and trout. Also, China’s booming economy continues to improve living standards and demand for seafood soars, China’s seafood imports are expected to reach almost $10 billion within next 5 years. Further, in the US the seafood department averaged $6,093 in sales per store per week. The seafood department contributed 81.5% of department total dollar sales. Fresh seafood posted $4,968 in per-store-per-week sales, a 6.3% increase from 2009, while prepared seafood hiked by 3.3%. Moreover, the global poultry meat output is expected to increase by 3% and is estimated to be 95 million tons (82 million tones will be chicken meat). Worldwide, chicken meat production represents around 86% of poultry meat. In Asia it is around 85%, whereas in China it is 72%. As the company through, Nichirei U.S.A., LLC offers poultry, pork and beef to large retailers and restaurants, the company can capitalize on this rising demand.

 

 

Threats

 

Volatility in Crude Oil Costs

The company’s operating results may be affected by crude oil and wholesale petroleum costs, which are volatile. Crude oil supplies may depend on general political conditions, any occurrence of wars or terror strikes, instability in the Middle East and South America and the strength of US dollar. With the political strife in Libya, the oil prices have soared across all markets. Brent crude traded at well above $115 a barrel in London and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at around $100 in New York according to the latest figures on 24th February 2011. The oil price at WTI in the previous year was $67 per barrel in the second half of 2009, an increase of about $16 over the first half of the year. As the company derives a significant proportion from Logistics operations (30.4% towards the total revenue), such volatility in oil costs may result in lower customer traffic, which could materially impact the company’s overall margins.

 

Highly Competitive Environment

The food and logistics industry in which the company operates is highly competitive and evolving. With the entry of more 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 a broad range of companies with substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources. The company competes with OK Food Industry Co., Ltd., KATOKICHI CO., LTD, Maruha Nichiro Holdings, Inc., and the Nissui Group. 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, thereby hampering its market position.

 

Stringent Regulations

The company has to abide by several extensive federal, state and foreign laws as well as regulations by authorities which oversee food safety standards and the distribution, advertising and labeling of its products. The company is also subject to the provisions relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, protection of the environment and to the health and safety of its employees. By the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the regulations promulgated by the FDA, food products of the company are subject to inspection prior to distribution. The company could be subject to civil remedies, including fines, injunctions, recalls or asset seizures, as well as potential criminal sanctions if it does not meet the modified laws, regulations and accounting standards. The company could not meet current product demand or introduce new products or build new facilities or acquire new businesses if it fails to obtain these permits or registrations. This could have a material impact on the operating results of the company.
