Forecast figures for the 31/03/2015 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the second-ranked mfr of automotive safety parts in the world, with seat belts, air bags and child safety seats as mainline.  Independent of any corporate affiliation.  Globally developing footholds for development, manufacturing and marketing, mainly in Asia, Europe and the US.  The plant in Russia started operating and will supply local, European, US and Japanese automakers.  The company’s first plant in Hungary will start operating in Oct 2014.  The company acquired an aircraft interior parts maker in the US, and will reinforce the aircraft business launched in 2012.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 556,998 million, a 34.0% up from Yen 415,521 million in the previous term.  Sales of automobile safety parts grew more than the volume of automobile production, thanks to their increased application in Japan and overseas.  Sales volume effects and the weaker Yen also contributed to earnings.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 25,656 million and the net profit at Yen 11,144 million, respectively, compared with Yen 17,050 million recurring profit and Yen 21,122 million net losses, respectively, a year ago. 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 24,500 million and the net profit at Yen 16,000 million, on a 0.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 560,000 million.  Overseas sales will continue growing, driven by the Asian markets, led by China, and the strong North American markets.

 

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