    5. Analysis of Operating Results and Financial Condition

      (1) Analysis of Operating Results

      Operating results for the current term (April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016)

      Overview

      In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, while the U.S. economy sustained recovery and the European economy was on a track of modest recovery, signs of slowdown of the Chinese economy gradually became more noticeable in Asia; as a whole, the world economy continued modest recovery. The overall Japanese economy also continued to be on a track of modest recovery. Although some sectors such as export were weak, consumer spending was stable as a whole and some signs of improvement were seen in the private sector.

      Under such circumstances, the Company Group has conducted business activities in accordance with our basic policies of "Change & Challenge - For Further Growth," the three-year midterm plan adopted in FY 2013, and in the final year of the said three-year midterm plan, we have tackled the operational challenges in each business segment including early improvement in earnings in the Chemicals segment. Thanks to the underlying support by the price falls in raw materials and fuels including coal and crude oil, business of non-chemical segments such as the Cement & Construction Materials Segment has continued steady expansion, and our Chemicals segment also showed some signs of recovery. On the other hand, we recorded impairment losses incurred in the Business Segments that have undergone deterioration in profitability in recent years, as an extraordinary loss.

      The overall conditions of the Group by segment are as follows. Chemicals & Plastics Segment

      Business of polyamide resins remained strong as a whole, because of a steady increase in sales of the products used for food wrap films. Price falls of auxiliary materials such as ammonia contributed to business of caprolactam, which is a material used for synthesize polyamide, but the market condition as a whole was still weak due to the continued supply excess in the China market. Shipment of ammonia products continued to be strong, thanks to shift in frequency of periodic inspection of the factories to every two years. Shipment of polybutadiene rubber (synthetic rubber) was steady as a whole, represented by that of the products used for eco tires.

      Shipment of both electrolyte and separators for lithium-ion batteries remained strong, thanks to usage of the former in commercial-off-the-shelf products such as personal computers, as well as application of the latter on vehicles such as eco-cars, but business of the both products were affected by price falls. Shipment of fine chemicals and polyimide films were steady as a whole, but profitability of the latter was low.

      Please take note that we recorded an impairment loss incurred in the polyimide business and in the electrolyte business of AET Electrolyte Technologies (Zhangjiagang), our consolidated subsidiary in China, as an extraordinary loss.

      Pharmaceutical Segment

      Among the drugs developed by UBE, shipment of active ingredients was weak, because distributors' inventories of hypotensive agents, antiallergic drugs and antiplatelet agents continued to be on adjustment phase. Shipment of active ingredients and intermediates for drugs manufactured under contract increased as a whole.

      Cement & Construction Materials Segment

      While shipment of cement and ready-mixed concrete decreased slightly in comparison with the previous fiscal year due to sluggish demand in the Japanese market, overall business of the products was steady, thanks to the improved energy cost. Shipment of calcia and magnesia products was also steady, especially in the business of refractories. Fall in fuel prices also contributed to the business performance of the products.

      Machinery & Metal Products Segment

      Shipment of industrial machines such as vertical mills and conveyers was steady in the domestic market, but shipment of the products exported to emerging countries including Southeast Asian countries decreased. Shipment of molding machines mainly supplied to the automobile industries was steady in the domestic and North America markets, but the shipment to China and Southeast Asian countries decreased. Business of machinery services for those products continued to expand, and shipment of steel products remained steady.

      Energy & Environment Segment

      In the coal business, both coal sales volume and coal dealing volume at UBE's Coal Center (a coal storage facility) were maintained at a steady level. In the power producer business, volume of selling electricity increased, thanks to recovery of the IPP electric power plant.

      Main measures implemented in the current term

      Chemicals Segment

      • Ube Industries, Ltd. integrated the Chemicals & Plastics segment and the Specialty Chemicals & Products segment into the "Chemicals Segment" for reorganization. (April 2015)

      • Ube Industries, Ltd. decided and started to expand production capacity of lithium-ion battery separators (restructuring of its existing facilities at the Ube Chemical Factory and new installation of manufacturing facilities at the Sakai Factory). (September 2015)

      • Ube Industries, Ltd. announced that it decided to switch to a new manufacturing process for cyclohexanone, intermediate material for caprolactam, at the Ube Chemical Factory. (January 2016).

      • Ube Industries, Ltd. reached agreement with CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang Co., Ltd. of China to establish a joint venture to manufacture and sell high-purity dimethyl carbonate (DMC). (March 2016)

        Pharmaceutical Segment

      • "TALION® Tablets" and "TALION® OD Tablets," anti-allergic agents jointly developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation and Ube Industries, Ltd. received approval for additional pediatric indications in Japan. (May 2015)

      • Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd. and Ube Industries, Ltd. started joint development of a therapeutic agent for itches caused by intractable pruritus. (September 2015)

        Cement & Construction Materials Segment

      • Heat emission and power generation facilities became fully operational in the Kanda Cement Factory of Ube Industries, Ltd. (January 2016)

      • Sales and logistic functions of the limestone-related business were consolidated into Ube Material Industries, Ltd. (April 2015)

        Machinery & Metal Products Segment

      • Ube Machinery Corporation, Ltd. launched new die casting machines jointly developed with Toyo Machinery & Metal Co., Ltd.. (July 2015)

        Energy & Environment Segment

      • Ube Industries, Ltd. collaborated with The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc. for joint transportation of imported coal. (March 2016)

      Forecast for the next Fiscal Year (April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017)

      Looking into future economic conditions, we expect that while Japanese economy would continue modest recovery, the global economy would experience greater uncertainty for the reasons of future fluctuation of foreign exchange rate and fuel prices, slowdown in economic growth in emerging countries including China and resource-rich countries, and changes in economic and financial policies in the U.S. and European countries.

      Considering the present economic condition and on the assumption that the dollar-yen exchange rate would hover at a level of 110 yen /dollar, and the prices of domestic product naphtha and Australian coal would be around 34,900 yen per 1kl and 7,597 yen per ton, respectively, from April 2016 through March 2017, we forecast the earnings as follows.

      We expect that consolidated net sales would increase to 655.0 billion yen thanks to a revenue growth mainly resulting from an increase in sales volumes in the Chemicals segment. It is forecasted that consolidated operating income would decrease to 35.0 billion yen, mainly due to an increase in cost for periodic inspection of our ammonia factories. Consolidated ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent are forecasted to come respectively to 33.0 billion yen and 20.0 billion yen.

      (2)Analysis of Financial Condition

      Situation with assets, liabilities, and net assets

      Total assets decreased by 31.7 billion yen to 679.7 billion yen. While cash on hand and in banks increased by 4.3 billion yen, notes and accounts receivable, and tangible fixed assets decreased respectively by 5.4 billion yen and 23.6 billion yen.

      Total liabilities decreased by 31.7 billion yen to 390.1 billion yen, mainly because notes and accounts payable-trade, and interest-bearing debt decreased respectively by 9.5 billion yen and 23.0 billion yen.

      Net assets increased by 0.01 billion yen to 289.6 billion yen. While foreign currency translation adjustments and noncontrolling interests decreased respectively by 7.9 billion yen and 3.2 billion yen, profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 19.1 billion yen in spite of a 5.3 billion yen decrease in retained earnings resulted from payment of dividends.

      Situation with cash flow

      Net cash provided by operating activities totaled 68.6 billion yen, which was mainly comprised of income before income taxes and minority interests for the year of 27.6 billion yen, reversing entries of 35.5 billion yen and 9.0 billion yen respectively from depreciation and amortization, which is a non-fund entry, and from an impairment loss, and income taxes paid of 6.5 billion yen.

      Net cash used in investment activities totaled 33.7 biilion yen, which was mainly comprised of purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of 34.4 billion yen.

      Net cash used in financing activities totaled 31.0 billion yen, which was mainly comprised of repayment of long-term loans payable of 28.4 billion yen.

      The balance of interest-bearing debt at the end of the term decreased by 23.0 billion yen compared to the end of the previous term to 216.6 billion yen.

      The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the term increased by 4.2 billion yen compared to the end of the previous term to 41.1 billion yen.

      Forecast for the next Fiscal Year (April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017)

      The free cash flow for the next term (sum total of the net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investment activities) is expected to decrease compared with the current term as a result of increase in cost for purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

      The term-end balance of the interest-bearing debt is expected to decrease by 6.6 billion yen compared with the end of this term to 210.0 billion yen.

      (3) Basic policy on profit-sharing and dividends for the current and the next term

      Recognizing that payment of dividends is our key responsibility for shareholders, we set a basic policy to pay the dividends corresponding to the business performance to shareholders. On the other hand, we think that it is also important for us to accumulate sufficient internal reserves to strengthen our financial standings and expand our business further. Considering the above policies in a comprehensive manner, we develop the proposal for the stock dividends to be resolved at the general meeting of shareholders.

      In the three-year midterm plan to be concluded in the current term, we set a policy to target the consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or more of current consolidated net income, and plan to pay the year-end dividends of 5 yen per share for the current term.

      For the next term, we plan to the year-end dividends of 6 yen per share, setting out to achieve a dividend increase steadily in conjunction with improvement of our business performance.
