BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION
(1) Business Developments and Results in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006
The economic environment surrounding AIDA ENGINEERING Group during the consolidated fiscal yearended March 31, 2006, has reflected the steady performance of the U.S. economy, continued high growth inAsia, and the gradual recovery of the economy in Europe amid concerns that the economy of each countrymay be affected by the surge in crude oil prices. The corporate earnings indicated a pronounced tendencytoward improvement in Japan in line with the continued tendency for the relatively stable Japanese yen.
The mechanical press industry in Japan continued to boom as a whole owing to the worldwide expansionin capital investments in the consumer-electronics industry due to the expansion of the flat panel TV setsmarket with continuing global capital investments in the automotive industry, the key source of demand. Theorder statistics by the Japan Forming Machinery Association were pushed up to ¥227.47 billion, an increaseof 21.4% from the previous fiscal year.
Under these circumstances, AIDA ENGINEERING Group published as a slogan “the establishment of the global management system” as the fourth year of “the Five-Year Plan to achieve no. 1 in quality, no. 1 in lowcost, and no. 1 in technology” and worked together for the increase in consolidated revenue.
As a result, sales for the current consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, rose to a record ¥54,303million (an increase of 24.3% from the previous year) owing to the growth in sales in the automotive industryand the increase in flat panel TV manufacturing facilities as well as the expansion of market share in Europewhere the full production of our manufacturing subsidiary has started. Despite the expenditures involved inthe launching of the business in Europe, operating income was ¥3,412 million (up 68.3%) and ordinaryincome was ¥3,698 million (up 55.9%) reflecting the revenue-increase effect and cost reductions. AIDAENGINEERING Group recorded net income of ¥1,792 million (up 39.9%) after recording ¥183 million inextraordinary loss, which was caused by the withdrawal from business as a result of liquidation ofprofit-deteriorating subsidiaries for the purpose of selection and concentration of business and optimalplacement of management resources.
(2) Business performance by geographic segment in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006
Japan: Owing to expanding demand for capital investment and increased sales in service businesses, netsales amounted to ¥42,630 million (an increase of 23.4% from the previous year) and operating income was¥3,407 million (up 96.1%) due to revenue increase effect and cost reductions.Asia: Demand for capital investment was on an uptrend in the automotive industry and production at ourmanufacturing subsidiaries in Malaysia and China rose. Net sales was ¥9,938 million (an increase of 42.2%from the previous year) and operating income was ¥1,013 million (up 26.7%).North America: Due to increase in demand for capital investment by Japanese automotive industries, netsales was ¥9,084 million (an increase of 26.6% from the previous year), however, production at ourmanufacturing subsidiary declined due to downturn in demand from U.S. automotive industries and operatingloss was ¥163 million (operating income of ¥85 million in previous year).Europe: Production at our manufacturing subsidiary started in full scale and sales to new customers areincreased. Net sales was ¥6,128 million (an increase of 200.2% from previous year), however, operating losswas ¥736 million (an increase of 5.5% from previous year)due to its start up cost.
(3) Financial position in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal year decreased by ¥2,437 million year on year, to¥9,983 million.
( Cash flows from operating activities )
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥407 million (versus ¥3,297 million in fiscal 2005),
7
owing to an increase in income before income taxes and other adjustments, which offset a decrease bygrowing inventories on the back of business expansion.
( Cash flows from investing activities )
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥1,300 million (versus inflows of ¥424 million in fiscal2005), as outflows from the acquisition of tangible fixed assets aiming expansion of production capacity.
( Cash flows from financing activities )
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥2,078 million, owing to acquisition of treasury stock anddividend payment (net inflows amounted to ¥1,502 million in fiscal 2005).
(4) Outlook for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2007
Although demand for capital investment in automotive industry and consumer electronics industry areexpected to remain firm, economic uncertainty due to high prices of steel and other raw materials, soaring oilprices and concern over trend of foreign currency exchange rate make future of economic condition unclear.Amid this environment, AIDA ENGINEERING Group will strive to expand its consolidated earnings, byexpanding operating basis of our group companies in Japan, Asia, Europe and America.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we forecast consolidated net sales of ¥57,000 million, recurringprofit of ¥4,700 million, and net income of 2,400 million. We plan the annual dividend of ¥11 per share,consisting of the regular dividend of ¥10 per share and additional ¥1 per share of the commemorativedividend for our 90th anniversary of the foundation of our company.
