The primary factors for the decrease in operating income from 45.7 billion yen to 23 billion yen are as follows:
First, the primary factor of increase in profit will be an increase of 38.2 billion yen due to improvement in the sales volume and product mixture and suchlike. It is made up of the following three details: (1) From the domestic market, we anticipate an increase to 3.1 billion yen based on an increase of passenger cars due to the new model effect of Forester, Exiga and DEX. (2) Overseas, an increase of 23.1 billion yen and a volume increase of 26.7 thousand units are planned. (3) An increase of 12 billion yen from others [an increase of 4.2 billion yen due to unrealized inventory (+1 billion yen for domestic,+3.2 billion yen for overseas) and +7.8 billion yen for others].
Increase of 2 billion yen based on a reduction of R&D expenses (from 52 billion yen to 50 billion yen). We anticipate the increase of expenses as environment-friendly cars development and joint development car with Toyota will be continued. However, the new model development such as Forester and Legacy are completed, review and revision of the development which was anticipated in the beginning of the fiscal year following the announcement of strengthening the alliances, and improvement of the organization efficiency.
The primary factor for a decrease in profit is a losses of 40 billion yen due to foreign exchange fluctuations, with a loss of 33.4 billion yen based on an appreciation of 13 yen against the U.S. Dollar, and a loss of 3.5 billion yen based on an appreciation of 12 yen against the Euro, and a loss of 3.1 billion yen based on appreciation of 12 yen against the Canadian Dollar.
-17.2 billion yen due to an increase in overhead cost and suchlike: It is made up of the following three details: (1) -10.4 billion yen due to an increase in fixed cost (-10.5 billion yen for FHI, +0.1 billion yen for SIA). Fixed processing cost of FHI (-5.8 billion yen) and the cost of dies of suppliers (-4.7 billion yen) increased. At SIA (+$1M), there is a plan to compensate the increase of the labor costs and suchlike with a decrease in the cost of dies and depreciation expenses, (+ $24M for reduction in the cost of the dies, -$23M for fixed processing cost). (2) -2.8 billion yen due to an increase of SG&A expenses. In the domestic market, -0.4 billion yen, an increase at FHI (-0.3 billion yen) and domestic dealers(-0.1 billion yen). At SOA, +0.7 billion yen or $6M. (+ $13M based on reduced incentives, from $1,600 to $1,550 per vehicle, -$7M for advertising costs etc.) due to the positive effect of the decrease of incentives cost in the first half of the fiscal year. -1.5 billion yen due to increased SG&A expenses in Canada. Others -1.6 billion yen. (3) -4 billion yen due to increased warranty cost.
Material cost reductions stood at -5.7 billion yen, with -6 billion yen at FHI and +0.3 billion yen at SIA. An increase in prices of raw materials of 23.6 billion yen is anticipated, with 19.8 billion yen at FHI and 3.8 billion yen at SIA. Accordingly, a decrease in operating income of 22.7 billion yen is planned. |
