ITOCHU ENEX CO.,LTD. 伪developing a Wide Range Of Company Research and Analysis Report FISCO Ltd. http://www.fisco.co.jp ITOCHU ENEX CO.,LTD. 伪 Developing a wide range of energy businesses 8133 Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section A member of the ITOCHU Corp. (8001) group, Itochu Enex is an oil trading company that is becoming more involved in different energy businesses. Its business scope now extends from selling fuel to industries to selling gasoline, liquid petroleum (LP) gas and energy equipment to 6-Nov.-14 final consumers. From its founding in 1961 through 2009, the company concentrated on oil and gas businesses, Important disclosures but in 2010, it submitted to the Japanese government an application for starting specified- and disclaimers appear scale electricity business and began retail sales of electricity. In 2011, it purchased JEN at the end of this document. Holdings and entered the business of electric power generation. In 2012, it bought a controlling interest in Tokyo Toshi Service Co. from Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) and entered the FISCO Ltd. Analyst heat supply business. These new businesses are conducted by the company’s Power & Utility Hiroyuki Asakawa Division. This division accounts for a small proportion of the company’s total sales, but it is growing and it is the most profitable division, contributing 23% of the company’s total operating profit in the fiscal year through March 2014, i.e., in FY3/14. It is also increasing its production capacity, and it will probably expand the scope of its business further in FY3/16. The Car-Life Division has been the company’s prime division. In May 2014, it bought the Osaka Car Life Group and made it a consolidated subsidiary. The Osaka Car Life Group generates annual sales of about \100bn, and it also owns the only Nissan car dealership in Osaka Prefecture which is one of the biggest car dealer among Nissan group in Japan. By accumulating this large, new car dealership, the division has developed a line of services for every stage of a car use cycle. Also, this contributed the division to have two stable main sources of income: the sale of gasoline and other fuels derived from oil and the automotive businesses. Itochu Enex has grown through aggressive, recurrent acquisitions, so it could be said that M&A is in its DNA. We will focus on both its regular acquisitions and its maintenance or improvement of asset efficiency. We believe that its asset efficiency is an important factor in enabling its business expansion through acquisitions and its improving ROE. We estimate its FY3/15 ROE at 7.8% and foresee an ROE of more than 8% or even 10% in coming years. This trend should support its share price valuations. 伪 Check Point ・Transforming itself from a fuel trading company into a new type of total energy-related company ・The Power & Utility Division is likely to lead growth in FY3/15–FY3/16 ・Dividends per share will probably increase based on earnings growth and the company plan to maintain a dividend payout ratio of 30% or more We encourage readers to review our complete legal statement on “Disclaimer” page. 1 㻿㼍㼘㼑㼟㻘㻌㻻㼜㼑㼞㼍㼠㼕㼚㼓㻌㻼㼞㼛㼒㼕㼠㻌㼍㼚㼐㻌㻼㼞㼛㼒㼕㼠㻌㼒㼞㼛㼙㻌㻻㼜㼑㼞㼍㼠㼕㼛㼚㼟 㻿㼍㼘㼑㼟㻌㻔㼘㼑㼒㼠㻌㼍㼤㼕㼟㻕 㻻㼜㼑㼞㼍㼠㼕㼚㼓㻌㻼㼞㼛㼒㼕㼠㻌㻔㻶㼍㼜㼍㼚㼑㼟㼑㻌㻳㻭㻭㻼㻘㻌㼞㼕㼓㼔㼠㻌㼍㼤㼕㼟㻕 㻼㼞㼛㼒㼕㼠㻌㼒㼞㼛㼙㻌㻻㼜㼑㼞㼍㼠㼕㼛㼚㼟㻌㻔㻵㼚㼠㼑㼞㼚㼍㼠㼕㼛㼚㼍㼘㻌㻲㼕㼚㼍㼚㼏㼕㼍㼘㻌㻾㼑㼜㼛㼞㼠㼕㼚㼓㻌㻿㼠㼍㼚㼐㼍㼞㼐㼟㻌㻔㻵㻲㻾㻿㻕㻘㻌㼞㼕㼓㼔㼠㻌㼍㼤㼕㼟㻕 㻔¥㼙㼚㻕 㻔¥㼙㼚㻕 㻝㻘㻢㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻢㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻟㻘㻣㻞㻢 㻝㻟㻘㻠㻟㻥 ITOCHU ENEX CO.,LTD. 㻝㻘㻠㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻠㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻘㻞㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻟㻘㻤㻜㻜 㻝㻞㻘㻜㻜㻜 8133 Tokyo Stock Exchange 㻝㻞㻘㻣㻟㻤 㻥㻘㻜㻞㻣 㻤㻘㻥㻣㻟 First Section 㻝㻘㻜㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻝㻘㻤㻡㻥 㻝㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻤㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻢㻘㻜㻥㻡 㻝㻘㻢㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻤㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻘㻠㻝㻠㻘㻝㻢㻝 㻝㻘㻠㻟㻜㻘㻣㻠㻡 㻝㻘㻡㻜㻢㻘㻢㻜㻢 㻢㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻘㻝㻤㻡㻘㻣㻟㻝 㻢㻘㻜㻜㻜 6-Nov.-14 㻠㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻠㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻝㻘㻜㻤㻟㻘㻣㻢㻜 㻞㻜㻜㻘㻜㻜㻜 㻞㻘㻜㻜㻜 Important disclosures 㻜 㻜 㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻜 㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻝 㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻞 㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻟 㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻠 㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻡㼑 and disclaimers appear 㻖㻲㼞㼛㼙㻌㻲㼅㻟㻛㻝㻠㻘㻌㼠㼔㼑㻌㼏㼛㼙㼜㼍㼚㼥㻌㼣㼕㼘㼘㻌㼍㼐㼛㼜㼠㻌㻵㼚㼠㼑㼞㼚㼍㼠㼕㼛㼚㼍㼘㻌㻲㼕㼚㼍㼚㼏㼕㼍㼘㻌㻾㼑㼜㼛㼞㼠㼕㼚㼓㻌㻿㼠㼍㼚㼐㼍㼞㼐㼟 at the end of this document. FISCO Ltd. Analyst Hiroyuki Asakawa 伪 Company Outline Transforming itself from a fuel trading company into a new type of total energy-related company (1) History Itochu Enex took its current name in July 2001. Before that, it had been widely known in the oil distribution market and the stock market as Itochu Fuel Corp. It was established in January 1961 as a spin-off from Itochu Sekiyu K.K., a subsidiary of ITOCHU Corp., when ITOCHU Corp.’s longstanding business partner, Nippon Mining Co., Ltd, (now JX Holdings (5020)) constructed the Mizushima Oil Refinery, to sell the products of this refinery. Initially, Itochu Fuel sold heavy oil products made at the Mizushima Oil Refinery for industrial use. Over the years, it branched into selling gasoline, industrial gases and LP gas. Until the 1990s, Itochu Fuel Corp. concentrated on oil-related businesses, but it attempted to diversify into other businesses. For example, it started a convenience store chain called CicoMart, and it took an equity stake in Tokai Corp., which was restructuring after bankruptcy. Since 2000, Itochu Enex has accelerated the pace of its business expansion, entering the businesses of city (piped) gas supply, electric power supply and heat supply, and strengthening its asphalt business. To improve its profitability, it has branched into sales to individual consumers, not just other companies. In these ways, Itochu Enex is attempting to change from a fuel trader to a company providing new forms of energy. Itochu Enex listed its shares on the Second Sections of the Osaka Securities Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange in February 1978. The following year, its shares were listed on the First Sections on Tokyo Stock Exchanges. Now it is listed on Tokyo Stock Exchanges.

As described in detail below, these divisions supply about equal amounts of operating profit. The Energy Trade Division accounts for about half the company’s total sales, but its total sales include trading oil products domestically and internationally which yields very thin profit margins with the large scale sales amount. In fact, the division’s operating profit margin is as thin as 0.4%. The main business of the Car-Life Division is wholesale sales of gasoline, which is also a low-margin business. Consequently, this division’s operating profit margin is 0.5%. Compared to these two divisions, the Power & Utility Division generates small sales, but it specializes in profitable businesses, such as the electricity and heat supply business. Therefore, its operating profit margin is 8.4%, the highest of the four divisions.

  • CSR for ITOCHU Corporation (PDF 780KB)
    CSR for ITOCHU Corporation ITOCHU Corporation is pursuing multi­facetted corporate activities in various regions of the world and a wide range of fields, and as such, ITOCHU is well aware of how significant its impact on society is. We believe that corporate social responsibility (CSR) lies in corporate thought and action on the question of how to play a role in building sustainable societies through business activities. We also believe that our mission is to fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibility as a global enterprise, always working from the viewpoint of whether we are contributing to the countries of the world and to society. ITOCHU Group Corporate Message ITOCHU founder Chubei Itoh first launched a wholesale linen business in 1858. For more than 150 years since, ITOCHU has passed down the spirit of sampo yoshi (good for the buyer, seller and society), a management philosophy embraced by Ohmi merchants that is the source of its CSR thinking today. After considering ways to demonstrate its commitment to society as an international corporation and to put this commitment into practice, in 1992 ITOCHU formulated “Committed to the Global Good” as a corporate philosophy. The conceptual framework for this philosophy was reorganized in 2009. In order for all employees to properly understand the responsibility that the ITOCHU Group is charged with fulfilling for society and to make this philosophy an integral part of actions everyday, its core element, “Committed to the Global Good,” was set as the ITOCHU Mission for the entire ITOCHU Group. Accompanying this is a new set of five values, called the ITOCHU Values, considered vital for enabling each employee to fulfill their role in realizing the ITOCHU Mission.

  • Boeing's Partnership with Japan—A Unique Market That's Home to Important Customers, As Well As Expertise in Industry—Is Evolving and Strengthening
    Feature Story BOEING FRONTIERS Toward a common benefit Boeing's partnership with Japan—a unique market that's home to important customers, as well as expertise in industry—is evolving and strengthening. Yet one element remains the same: The critical role of personal relationships BY MIK E WI eg AND PHOTO S B Y BO B FE R G U S ON /BO E IN G ike many relationships, the Boeing-Japan relationship had humble beginnings, starting in 1953 with the establishment of Boeing International Corp. Boeing hoped to gain a foothold Lin a promising new market against entrenched competition. The new operation was funded with $1,000 and staffed by five U.S.-based directors. Yet this initial formal presence in Japan was the beginning of a profound partnership and friendship for both the company and Japan. In the past five decades, Boeing and Japan have made aerospace history together—and are setting the pace for defining the future of the industry. “Japan has worked with Boeing over the decades on both commercial and defense pro- grams,” said Hirofumi Katase, former director of the aerospace and defense industry division, manufacturing industries bureau at Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. “Today, Japanese aerospace industry is jointly developing the 787 Dreamliner and Boeing is offering support to Japan’s Mitsubishi Regional Jet program. We have worked together on many defense programs such as Chinook and Tanker.” Japan’s aviation requirements are unique. As a small island nation with dense population cen- ters and high air-traffic demand, Japanese airlines have the highest flight cycles on some of the densest routes in the industry.

    Information Society Trends Issue number: 59 - (1.10.96 - 31.10.96) EDITORIAL Europe Union joins world-wide cyberschool drive Promoting new information society tools in the school environment is an issue that has gained significant momentum in the world's richest countries in the last year. This trend comes in recognition of both the contribution of multimedia to the learning process and of the need to prepare the next generation for the information society. Government-led initiatives and pilot projects to put schools on-line have been launched in North America, Japan and Europe at national, regional and local level. A few striking examples include the US Administration's plan to provide free Internet access for all US schools and libraries by the year 2000, Japan's plans to install 900,000 network-equipped PCs in schools by the year 2000, Germany's three-year "Schools on the network" project, Denmark's plan to put all schools on-line by the year 2000 and Finland's "Education, training and research in the information society" strategy. Industry often supports government initiatives through public-private partnerships, for instance in the framework of the UK's "Superhighway in education" plan or the US National Education Technology Funding Corporation, and sometimes launches its own initiatives, such as the $370 million worth US Technology Learning Challenge. Discrepancies are important at global level: in 1995, one third of all US schools were connected to the Internet compared to only 5% in Japan and in the European Union (EU). They also exist within the EU with school connection rates ranging from two-third in Scandinavia to 15% in the UK, 2% in France and Germany and less in Southern Europe.

    27 Division Companies Over its long 150-year history, ITOCHU has swiftly adapted in response to changing condi- tions. The Company has steadfastly added to and extended its business areas—from Japan to the world; from textiles to natural resource development, machinery, food, consumer-related products, and financial services; and from midstream businesses to upstream and downstream businesses. To make that operational format more effective, we introduced a Division Company System in 1997 to accelerate decision-making speed and increase management efficiency. Further, the company-wide lateral functions of Headquarters maximize overall earnings by strength- ening collaboration among division companies. 28 Division Companies at a Glance 32 Textile Company 34 Machinery Company 36 Aerospace, Electronics & Multimedia Company 38 Energy, Metals & Minerals Company 40 Chemicals, Forest Products & General Merchandise Company 42 Food Company 44 Finance, Realty, Insurance & Logistics Services Company 46 Headquarters 28 Division Companies at a Glance ITOCHU Corporation and Subsidiaries Years ended March 31 Division Companies Net Income Before “Other, Adjustments & Total Assets Before “Other, Adjustments & Major Group Companies Major Products and Services Fiscal 2008 Eliminations” Fiscal 2008 Eliminations” Textile Company Prominent Apparel Ltd. • Textile materials ITOCHU TEXTILE (CHINA) CO., LTD. • Fabrics • Apparel products JOI’X CORPORATION • Fashion goods and accessories 9.6% 7.7% • Industrial textiles • Branded products based on total lifestyle-theme including apparel, food, and living Machinery Company ITOCHU Sanki Corporation • Gas, oil, and petrochemical plants ITOCHU Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. • Ships • Automobiles • Rolling stock • Power-generating equipment MCL Group Limited • Construction machinery • Textile machinery 10.6% 14.6% ITOCHU Automobile America Inc. • Industrial machinery • Food machinery • Plastics/polymer-related equipment Century Leasing System, Inc.
