However, a lot of investors are unaware Shinya Yamada that the export spread has rebounded to a 10-year high. The export price 81 3 4550 9910 has risen by ¥1,100 since the start of 2012 (improving the ex-coal price [email protected] spread by ¥1,200), far exceeding the increase in the domestic price. This Kazumasa Okumoto improvement in export business should be a positive surprise for the cement 81 3 4550 7266 [email protected] business, and as such, we maintain our OUTPERFORM rating. ■ Highly competitive in cement exports: We believe that Mitsubishi Materials is highly competitive in exports, as its Kyushu cement works is Japan's largest and is located on the coast, close to the company's customers in Asia. The company exports 29% of its cement output, the highest weighting among the three majors (17% at Taiheiyo Cement, 10% at Sumitomo Osaka Cement), and should therefore benefit the most from the recent rise in the export price. ■ Domestic demand for cement will likely continue to grow: We see the recovery trend in domestic cement demand strengthening over the long term, as the replacement cycle, which can be estimated from cumulative cement volume and annual consumption, is 74 years, far longer than cement's lifespan (60 years). We believe that domestic demand will recover before 60 years, and that there could be major disasters if demand fails to pick up.
