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. Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has overturned his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, and structural reform. Japan joined the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations in 2013, a pact that would open Japan's economy to increased foreign competition and create new export opportunities for Japanese businesses. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2013 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 is exceeding 230% of GDP. To help raise government revenue and reduce public debt, Japan decided in 2013 to gradually increase the consumption tax to a total of 10% by the year 2015. Japan is making progress on ending deflation due to a weaker yen and higher energy costs, but reliance on exports to drive growth and an aging, shrinking population pose other major long-term challenges for the economy

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company is one of the top-ranked heavy electric machinery mfr.  Originally JV formed in 1923by Furukawa Electric and Siemens.  Mother company of Fujitsu Ltd.  Maintaining higher shares in automatic vending machines and power semiconductors.  Earnings concentrate in 2nd half each term.  Smartmeters for Tokyo Electric Power will start making a contribution.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 759,911 million, a 1.9% up from Yen 745,781 million in the previous term.  Sales of mega-photovoltaic power generation systems did well in Japan, covering fading-out of orders for thermal power plants.  Plant utilization in the power semiconductor business recovered sharply.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 36,731 million and the net profit at Yen 19,582 million, respectively, compared with Yen 25,714 million recurring profit and Yen 26,368 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring loss is projected at Yen 39,000 million and the net loss at Yen 23,000 million, respectively, on a 2.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 780,000 million.  Operating profit will remain steady, aided by brisk sales of semiconductors and photovoltaic power systems. 

 

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