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

 

This is an independent general engineering company, founded originally in 1928 as producer of oil products, on acquisition of license of Dubbs’ thermal cracking process from old Universal Oil Products, USA.  Strong in oil refining, petrochemicals, LNG & nuclear fuel processing lines.  Overseas sales ratio about 60%.  With no production division, all materials, machinery & plants are outsourced including subsidiaries.  Works cover industrial plants, such as crude oil, lube oil, LNG, LPG, ethylene, power generation, nuclear power facilities, food processing, hospitals, shopping centers, airports, non-ferrous metal smelting, pharmaceuticals & R&D facilities, information & telecommunications facilities, medical & welfare facilities, other.  Has close association with Shell.  The company won orders for ethylene facility projects in the southern US.  It has made a bid for 2 LNG plant construction contracts valued several hundreds of billion Yen in the US and Canada, with bidding results to be informed by the end of the current term.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 675,821 million, an 8.2% up from Yen 624,637 million in the previous term.  Work completions continued growing, led by those for LNG facilities.  Net profits hit a record high consecutively.  Plant construction works increased in North America due to shale gas revolution.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 83,675 million and the net profit at Yen 47,178 million, respectively, compared with Yen 72,489 million recurring profit and Yen 46,179 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Jun/2014 results): Sales Yen 170,459 million (up 10.6%), operating profit Yen 12,920 million (down 15.6%), recurring profit Yen 12,843 million (down 43.0%), net profit Yen 9,615 million (down 30.9%).  (% as compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

 

For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 59,000 million and the net profit at Yen 42,000 million, respectively, on a 15.4% rise in turnover, to Yen 780,000 million.  The term’s order backlog is ample at Yen 1.5 trillion.  Large-scale works for natural gas and petroleum refining plants including ultralarge-scale Ichthy7s LNG project in Australia have been underway, which will contribute in the full term.  Overall sales are anticipated to advance, but operating profit will take a downturn, weighed down by fading-out of high-profitable orders.  Foreign exchange gains will vanish in the non-operating account. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR to GOOD and responsible for ORDINARY business engagements.  MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 24,924.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS
