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.

MFR OF ELECTRIC WIRES & CABLES. 

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS

 

 

Unit: In Million Yen

 

Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2016 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of electric wire business spun off from Sumitomo family’s rolled copper business. This is a core company of Sumitomo Group. World’s No.3 maker of wire harnesses for automobiles, and 4th ranked player in telecom infrastructure products including optical fiber.  Developing businesses expressed by three keywords of infrastructure (basic to society), mobility (facilitating information & product movement), and interface (linking differing items). Production bases are wide and varied worldwide with subsidiaries engaged in the production. The firm is a pioneer in superconducting power cables and has engaged in demonstration experiment in Japan and the US. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2015 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,822,811 million, a 9.9% up from Yen 2,568,779 million in the previous term.  Wire harnesses and hard metals lead sales & profits.  Export profitability of the optical fiber-related business took an upturn thanks to a lower Yen.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 160,597 million and the net profit at Yen 119,771 million, respectively, compared with Yen 145,354 million recurring profit and Yen 66,748 million net profit, respectively, a year ago 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2016 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 175,000 million and the net profit at Yen 90,000 million, on an 8.0% rise in turnover, to Yen 3,050,000 million.  Sales of automobile-related products, including anti-vibration rubbers, will continue growth. 

 

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