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

MFR OF PRECISION MACHINE TOOLS. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

Unit: In Million Yen

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

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Taisuke Tsugami in order to make working tools, on his account.  Incorporated in 1937, the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  This is a medium-sized precision machine tool mfr, with computerized numerical control (CNC) lathe and grinding machines as mainline.  Reputed for strong technological edge in precision machinery, and highly competitive in products for IT-related makers & automakers.  Focusses emphasis on expanding production in Asia including China & India.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar 2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 32,225 million, a 39.0% down from Yen 52,812 million in the previous term.  Sales of mainstay automatic lathes stagnated, hit by slower-than-expected recovery in China, despite increase in newly emerging countries with newly launched products.  Special demand from smartphone makers in the preceding term faded out.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,932 million and the net profit at Yen 344 million, respectively, compared with Yen 6,800 million recurring profit and Yen 4,207 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/Jun/2014 results): Sales Yen 12,670 million (up 81.2%), operating profit Yen 1,903 million (up 358.6%), recurring profit Yen 1,676 million (up 49.8%), net profit Yen 1,084 million (up 31.1%).  (% as compared with the corresponding period a year ago)

           

For the current term ending Mar 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 5,800 million and the net profit at Yen 4,000 million, on a 42.7% rise in turnover, to Yen 46,000 million.  Sales of automatic lathes bound for newly emerging countries will make a full-scale contribution

 

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