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 an 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. Scarce in many natural resources, Japan has long been dependent on imported raw materials. Since the complete shutdown of Japan’s nuclear reactors after the earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2011, Japan's industrial sector has become even more dependent than it was previously on imported fossil 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 impressive - 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 aftereffects 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 four times since 2008. 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 of that year disrupted manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the four years since the disaster, although reconstruction in the affected Tohoku region has lagged, in part due to a shortage of labor in the construction sector. Japan enjoyed a sharp uptick in growth in 2013 on the basis of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s “Three Arrows” economic revitalization agenda - dubbed “Abenomics” - of monetary easing, “flexible” fiscal policy, and structural reform. Abe’s government has replaced the preceding administration’s plan to phase out nuclear power with a new policy of seeking to restart nuclear power plants that meet strict new safety standards, and emphasizing nuclear energy’s importance as a base-load electricity source. Japan joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) 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 2014 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after first-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2012. While seeking to stimulate and reform the economy, the government must also devise a strategy for reining in Japan's huge government debt, which amounts to more than 230% of GDP. To help raise government revenue, Japan adopted legislation in 2012 to gradually raise the consumption tax rate to 10% by 2015, beginning with a hike from 5% to 8% implemented in April 2014. That increase had a contractionary effect on GDP, however, so PM Abe in late 2014 decided to postpone the final phase of the increase until April 2017 to give the economy more time to recover. Led by the Bank of Japan’s aggressive monetary easing, Japan is making progress in ending deflation, but demographics - low birthrate and an aging, shrinking population - pose major long-term challenges for the economy.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of aircraft equipment division separated from Sumitomo Metal Ind.  Specializes in mfg aircraft equipment, including propellers & wheels.  Diversified into large heat exchangers and industrial machinery, including ozonizers & plasma systems.  This is a specialized mfr of aircraft equipment, including propellers & wheels.  Strengthening MEMS (micro electronic mechanical systems) products.  The firm is planning commercialization of GTL equipment converting associated gas released from oil drilling to liquid fuel with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, etc.  It will supply reactors filled with catalysts, core equipment.  It will establish a new plant for those products in Amagasaki City, Hyogo-Pref at a cost of Yen 5 billion. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2015 fiscal term amounted to Yen 47,135 million, a 5% up from Yen 45,031 million in the previous term.  Sales of aerospace-related products grew favorably.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,023 million and the net profit at Yen 1,450 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,380 recurring profit and Yen 585 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2016 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 1,700 million and the net profit at Yen 1,000 million, respectively, on a 17% rise in turnover, to Yen 55,000 million.  Orders for aerospace-related products and environmental systems will grow.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,526.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
