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.

Notes: Unit: In Million Yen

Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2015 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was founded originally in 1917 as Shipbuilding Division of Mitsui & Co Ltd, leading general trading house of Japan, Tokyo, in Tamano City, Okayama-Pref.  In 1926, entered into technical licensing agreement with Burmeister & Wain A/S of Denmark for marine diesel engine production.  In 1937, separated from Mitsui & Co Ltd to become Tama Shipyard Co Ltd, and in 1942 renamed as captioned. 

 

This is one of major mfrs in shipbuilding and heavy electric machinery.  Ranked top in marine diesel engine production in Japan.  One of core members of Mitsui Group firms.  Shipbuilding is the core which alone accounts for about over 50% of total sales.  Group shipping firm, Mitsui-OSK Lines, is aggressively ordering dry bulkers of 50/60,000 ton size, on the back of robust transportation needs into and from China.  Actively advancing into new businesses, including cogeneration, environment-related business & IT sector including clean rooms.  The company is pushing forward to win new orders in view of the scarcity of orders on hand in mid 2014 onward.  In the engineering business, it won an order for shale gas-related works in US.

 

 

FINANCIAL Information

 

The sales volume for Mar/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 670,067 million, a 16.1% up from Yen 577,093 million in the previous term.  MODEC (subsidiary) business expanded.  Gains on foreign exchange at MODEC expanded and special loss on impairment assets at shipyards was absent.   The recurring profit was posted at Yen 12,854 million and the net profit at Yen 42,854 million, respectively, compared with Yen 26,162 million recurring profit and Yen 8,207 million net loss, respectively, a year ago. 

 

(Apr/Jun/2014 results): Sales Yen 172,497 million (up 28.9%), operating profits Yen 1,944 million (down 69.2%), recurring profit Yen 2,673 million (down 66.9%), net profit Yen 626 million (down 81.4%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

           

For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 20,000 million and the net profit at Yen 10,000 million, on a 13.4% up in turnover, to Yen 760,000 million.  Consolidation of Showa Aircraft Industry will boost operating profit by Yen 2 billion-minus.  Business performance of MODEC will get stronger.  Onshore plant business will contribute to earnings in the full scale.  . 

 

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