II. Company Overview

《History of Nissan》

Since the foundation in 1933, Nissan had importedthe car blueprints and the facilities

from the foreign companies. As a result, Nissan’s technology was appreciated well

worldwide and Nissan began to be called “Nissan of technology”. After that, Nissan

played a pioneering role as “Nissan of technology”, for example, the exploitation of the

fuel-efficient vehicle, the combustion control of engine, the industrial robot and so on.

However, Nissan began to lose ‘Toyota of marketing’ because of inferiority of marketing

and sales strategy. In 1980s, the gap of the sales amountbetween two companies was

becoming larger. Nissan couldnot improvethe sales result, had two trillion debts,and

faced the crisis of the bankruptcy. In 1999, Nissan and Renault, which is the automobile

company in France, established Renault-Nissan alliance. Althogh Nissan helps

Renault’s sales and this situation is not good, Nissan cannot achieve their goal without

Renault because of Ghosn and Europe market in the future. Therefore, This

Renault-Nissan alliance is very important for Nissan.

Carlos Ghosn from Renault became COO of Nissan and held up the

commitments. The commitments are cost-cut by destroying Keiretsu(group-company),

factory closure, and layoff employees, promoting global business, and investment innew

vehicle models. He achieved them and continued to improve the sales result. However,

Page 3: Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd

the sales amount remarkably went down because of the financial crisis, the worldwide

recession, and strong yen in 2008.Nissan overcome them andthe sales amount reached

the level before 2008.

《Results》

Nissan is at the third place among Japanese automobile companies’ sales

amount. Figure.2 and Figure.3 are the graphs of the sales amount and the operating

profit on sales. Nissan, Toyota, and Honda recovered the sales amount after 2008.

However, only Nissan could not recover the operating profit on sales. We have two

reasons. First is Nissan’s global strategy. Nissan has focused on the global market. The

investment in the emerging countries is unefficient from the view of the profit. The auto

sales in 2013 increased by more than two million than 2005, which is the year that the

operating profit on sales was over 10%. Therefore,we think that Nissan’s operating

profit on sales will be recovered in the future. Second is Nissan’s Research and

Development expenses. Nissan has invested in EV earlier than other automobile

companies, but the result of EV is under the prediction. If the EV market develop in the

future, Nissan can recover the operating profit on sales.

《Manager》

Nissan’s manager is Carlos Ghosn. He took office as COO afterRenault-Nissan

alliance in 1999. Ghosn showed “Nissan Revival Plan” to the employees and investors.

He achieved it and Nissan’s net income recovered from minus seven hundred billion in

1999 to plus 2.8 hundred billion. The factors of this success are the top-down

management by Ghosn, for example, cost-cut by the factory closure and the layoff

employees. In addition, he did not think little of “Japanese management,” for example,

visiting Nissan’s factory and talking to the employees directly.

He became CEO in 2001. The reconstruction of Nissan was highly

appreciated.He also held the post of CEO of Renault since 2005.

However there are some criticisms ofGhosn. First is Ghosn’s too high pay.

Ghosn’s pay is about one billion although Toyota’s one is 2.3 hundred million. The

stockholders criticized Ghosn of the pay, but he explained, “Nissan is a global company.

Comparing with the CEO in foreign countries, my pay is not too high and Japanese

standard should not interrupt the globalization of Japanese companies.

Second is the relationship with Renault whose result is not good. The net

income of Renault in 2013 is in the red without Nissan’s equity profit. Recently, Nissan

announced that it would produce the next-model vehicles in Renault’s factories but it

will be more cost for Nissan, comparing with using Nissan’s factories in the developing

countries.

Third is the criticism for Ghosn’s dictatorship. He abolished COO this year.

Some think that Ghosn want to handle Nissan only by himself. Moreover, he fired COO

Page 5: Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd

of Renault.

Although there are some criticisms ofGhosn, we concludethat he is necessary

for Nissan because he has an outstanding nature as a manager who can judge things

and put a lot of energy to become successful.

III. Description of Business and Global Business

《Description of Business》

The main business of Nissan is automobile, which accounts for about 93% of

sales amount, so we analyzedonly automobile business in this report. The introduction

of Nissan’s three brand and EV is as follows.

・Nissan: Main bland of Nissan

・Infinity: High-class car blandexpanding in over 40 countries except Japan

・Datsun: Compact car bland mainly in emerging countries

・EV:

Nissan is at the top in the world EV market. This is because Nissan has

focused on EV for a long time and succeeded in low price with battery-lease system.

Nissan is puttingan effort into research and development for improvingthe performance

and more cost-cut.

Nissan has a pioneering advantage in EV business such as a plentiful data of

EV. Nissan records EV users’ data with the internet. It takes a long time to get the data,

so other companies cannot imitate soon. Nissan will use this data for the next

technological innovation such as battery miniaturization and reducing the charging

time. Adding to this, Nissan is famous in the world and other automobile companies are

focusing on other eco-friendly cars such as Hybrid Vehicle (hereafter, HV) or Hydrogen

Vehicle.Therefore, we concluded thatNissan can keep this pioneering advantage in the

future.

《Overseas Business》

Overseas business accounts for 80% of sales amount and the ratio is increasing

year by year. (Figure.4) Figure.5 shows that the number of the auto sales in the world is

also increasing. In this way, overseas business is very important for Nissan.

In this report, we divide four areas such as Japan, North America, Europe, and

Emerging countries.

Japan

The saleof compact carsor light vehicles is going well, especially “Note” and

“Days”. However, recently Nissan’s share does not increase as expected. The reason is

that Nissan does not give high priority to HV although HV market is increasing in

Japan. Although the number of sales fell down because of the financial crisis, the

worldwide recession, and strong yen in 2008and the Great East Japan Earthquake in

2011,ithas already recovered.

IV. Competitive Strategy

Nissan has two strong points. The one is the present cost-cut system and the

other is the success of EV.

First, the present cost-cut systemstarted whenGhosn became COO of Nissan in

order to help Nissan’s business. For instance, Nissan closed unprofitable factories and

fired the employees and recovered the result. Also, Nissan succeeded in holding down

cost by destroying Keiretsu(group-company) and rebuilding supply chain. If there is an

unprofitable factory, the company goes the closedown as a last resort and leads to

cost-cut even now. Then, the company can invest in a profitable business.

As for the Keiretsu destruction, there is the negative view that it makes the

construction of the joint development system beyond the fence of each companypeculiar

to grinding industrybe difficult.However, we appreciate it well because destroying

Keiretsuraised competitivenessamongKeiretsusubsidiaries.Theyhave to get their

businesseswith own power, destroying the conventional system. As a result,

Keiretsusubsidiaries are conscious of producing better and cheapercomponents and

become competitive.This leads tothe success of the cost-cut.

Nissan investsthe surplus fund by cost-cut inthe revivalpopular car-modelsin

old days because there are a lot of core fans of the popular carsuch as fair lady Z.This

investment makes the core fans come back to Nissan.

Recently, Nissan fixes the local production system for the global expansion.

This also leads to cost-cut. Above all, the construction of the local production system in

Chinaearlier than Toyota can be a factor to get much share in China which has a

potential forthe drastic growth in the future.

Second, as for EV, Nissan leaf (EV’s name) isat the top in EV market all around

the world. Nissan leafhas pioneering advantages such asthe price and the performance.

Nissanhas focused on EV for a long time, so ithas been behind the other companies in

the HV market. However, it canbe said that the potential for future growth of the EV

market is huge. Moreover, Nissan assumes thatthe know-how of EV leads to the

next-generation car such as all-automatic cars in the future.

Finally,Nissan’s cost-cut systemwas establishedwhen it was on the verge of

bankruptcy. Therefore, we conclude that other companies do not take a similar strategy

easily. In addition,Toyota thinks a great deal ofKeiretsusubsidiaries, so Toyota will not

destruct Keiretsuin the future.As for EV business, other automobile companies have not

invested EV but HV. They cannot change the main eco-friendly vehicle from HV to EV

because they do not have enough data and technology. Thus, it can be said that Nissan’s

cost-cut systemby Ghosn and EV business cannot be easily imitatedbyother companies.

Page 13: Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd

V. Future Forecast

Based on the above-mentioned, we forecasts Nissan’s sales amount for 10 years.

In this report, we calculated the sales amount in eachareaz(Japan, North America,

Europe, and Emerging countries)with the following formulaand the sum is Nissan’s

sales amount.

The sales amount of this year=the sales amountof last year

×the growth rate of automobile market

×the growth rate of Nissan’s share

When we calculatedthe future sales amount in each area, we reflected the

prediction of EV business only in Japan and Europe. This is because HV and common

cars are advantageous than EV in North America and developing countries.Long travel

distance is an important factor for people in two areas and EV is unsuitable.

The unit sales of EV is 120,000 in 2013 and it is predicted that it will be

2,800,000 in 2030 at an annual rate of130%. The unit salesof EV is 0.14% of all auto

sales in the world in 2013. Then, we assume that the growth rate of EV market is

0.182% (the growth rate of unit sales of EV ×the ratio of EV in auto sales all around the

world).

【Japan】

▼Market: 0%

After financial crisis in 2008, the automobile market in Japanhas grown up by

about 21% and recovered the standard level of the sales amount before 2008. Although

GDP has increased at an annual rate of1% and the automobile market has grown at an

annual rate of0.03%, we predict that Japanese market will remain at the same level for

the next ten years because of the decrease ofthe productive population.

▼Growth rate of Nissan’s share: +0.182%

Recently, Nissan’s share is not in a good situation. One of the reasons is that

they fall behind the recent eco-friendly car boom because they do not focus on HV. In

addition, the other reason is that the customersfor the low-price products such as a

compact-car or the light car moved to Honda because it discountedthe price of “FIT”, HV.

However, we expect that EV market will grow up in the future and we suppose 0.182%

of the growth rate of EV marketasthe growth rate of Nissan’s share.

Page 14: Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd

【North America】

▼Market: 0%

The automobile market in North Americais recovering from the financial crisis

in 2008. Since 2008, the market has grown by 31.5% and at an annual rate of5.9%. It is

expected that an annual growth rate of GDP is 1.8%, and the population will increase at

an annual growth rate of 1.17%. However, the automobile market in North America is

too matured and we cannot expect more expansion in the future. Therefore, we predict

that the market growth will remain at the same level.

▼Growth rate of Nissan’s share: +0.24%

Nissan strengthens the local production and thestock situation is better than

Toyota and Honda in this area, so Nissanhas increasedits share smoothly. The good

stock situation leads tothe reduction of the cost for the transportation and the useless

inventory. In this way, the stock situation is related to the business result.We think that

the company will increase the sharein the future. Thus, the growth rate of Nissan’s

share is 0.24% (the average of an annual rate of the growth rate of Nissan’s share for

the last 10 years).

【Europe】

▼Market: -1.5%

The automobile market is gradually shrinking after the financial crisis in 2008.

The average of GDP growth rate in the last five years is in a negative state. Although

the population tends to increase, the unemployment rate is 12%. Considering these, we

predict that the growth rate of automobile market is -1.5% (the average of an annual

rate of the growth rate of the automobile market for the last 10 years).

▼Growth rate of Nissan’s share: +0.182%

Nissan’s share in Europe will increase in the future. There are two reasons.

First, Nissan’s share in Europe is increasing although theautomobile market in this

area has been shrinking since 2008. Second, EV marketwill expand in Europe.Therefore,

the annual growth rate of Nissan’s share is 0.182%.

【Emerging countries】

We focus on China, Brazil, and India to analyze emerging countries.

Page 15: Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd

▼Market: +13.3%

●China

The automobile market in China has kept growing without the effect of the

financial crisis in 2008. GDP is growing at an annual rateof 10%. We expect that the

number ofdriverswill increase and the income level will be high in the future. Therefore,

we suppose 18.4% (the average of annual rateof the growth rate of the automobile

market for the last 10 years) as the growth rate of the automobile market.

●Brazil

The automobile industryaccounts forover 25% of the Brazil’s GDP.Although the

automobile market in Brazil has kept growing over 10% every year in the past 10 years,

itshrank for the first time in 2013 because of the recession. The domestic economic

situation is serious, so we set 1.23% (the average of annual rate of the growth rate of the

automobile market for the lastthree years) as the growth rate of the automobile market.

●India

India has been suffered from inflation, weak currency, and undeveloped

business environmental. However, Indian economy started to have a hope whenModi,

who has receiveda high reputation ofthe economic field, became the Prime Minister of

India in 2014. We expect that the number ofdriverswill increase and the income level

will be high in the future. Therefore, we suppose 10.9% (the average of annual rate of

the growth rate of the automobile market for the last 10 years) as the growth rate of the

automobile market.

13.3% (the average of the numbers of China, Brazil, and India) is the growth

rate of the automobile market in emerging countries.

▼Growth rate of Nissan’s share: +0.16%

●China

In China, Nissan’s strong points are high quality and low price, which

European and local companies can’t imitate. Nissan produces the carswith 40%off

components and Nissan succeeds in the reduction of the cost andthe improvement of the

fuel-efficiency. In addition to this, the local joint ventures do development and supply

task and Nissan usesthe full-depreciated facilities. In this way, Nissan cando cost-down

and achieve 20% lower-price than other companies. However, Nissan is still atsixth

place in Chinese market and cannot threaten VW and GM, so we suppose that the

Page 16: Nissan Motor Co.,Ltd

growth rate of Nissan’s share is flat.

●Brazil

FourEuropean companies, for example, Fiat in Italy and Ford,account for

about 70% of the automobile market in Brazil. On the other hand, the market share of

Nissan is only2%. We cannot expect Nissan’s large growth and we suppose0.3% (the

average of annual rate of the growth rate of Nissan’s share for the last 10 years) as the

growth rate of Nissan’s share.

●India

Suzuki and Hyundai occupy 50% of the market. Nissan has promoted the local

production with over 100 local suppliers and developedlow-price Datsun for family.

However, Suzuki’s car is cheaper, so it is difficult for Nissan to get more its share. We

suppose0.2% (the average of annual rate of the growth rate of Nissan’s share for the

lastfive years) as the growth rate of Nissan’s share.

0.16% (the average of the numbers of China, Brazil, and India) is the growth

rate of Nissan’s share in emerging countries

Figure.13 shows the past results (2004-2013) and the forecast (2014-2023).

VI. Valuation

The target stock priceis estimatedas follows. First, wecalculate the future free

cash flow (hereafter, FCF) in the next10 years and the continuation value after 10 years.

Second, we calculate Nissan’s firm value by discounting them with the Weighted

Average Cost of Capital (hereafter, WACC). Lastly, we divide Nissan’s firm value by the

number of stock issued.

As a result, the target stock price is estimated at ¥1209. The target stock price

is 18.5% higher than the current stock price ¥1020. Therefore, our investment

recommendation is “BUY”.

The numberforcalculatingthetarget price with DCF is as follows and

Figure.7-11.

VII. Risk Factors

Our investment recommendation is “BUY” because we forecastthat Nissan will

increase sales amount in the future. However, Nissan has a market risk and a specific

risk that may affect its future sales amount.

As risks of an automobile market, there are the economic risk, the resource

energy risk, and the exchange risk. These risks occur suddenly and it is difficult for

companies to handle with them. In fact, Nissan was suffered fromthe financial crisis,

the worldwide recession, and strong yen in 2008. Ifa macroeconomicthing happens in

the future, Nissan will be affected.

Nissan’s specific risk is Carlos Ghosn. He has been the key-manof Nissan for 15

years, but he is 60 years old. The average age of the CEO of companies in Japan is 59.

He is not too old, but there is some possibility that the CEO of Nissan changesin the

next 10 years. It is not too much to saythat Nissan depends on Ghosn’s strong

leadership, so the change of CEO has big effect on Nissan.

In this way, our investment recommendation can be changed by these risk

factors.
