Printed circuit board (PCB) makers in Japan are feeling the brunt of the global recession. Most companies have posted full-year results with significant losses. For instance, Kyoden Co. Ltd, a maker of prototypes of PCBs, posted sales of 37.72 billion yen for the full-year ended March 31, 2009. Its operating profit was down 66.5 percent at 843 million yen; and net loss was 3.04 billion yen, compared to year-ago loss of only 279 million yen.
For Airex Inc., a major specialized maker of industrial-use PCBs, sales during the same period reached 7.37 billion yen. Its operating profit totaled 360 million yen, and net profit, 1.07 billion yen, down 28.4 percent and 54.5 percent, respectively.
PWB maker Shirai Electronics Industrial Co. Ltd, meanwhile, generated sales of 26.57 billion yen for the full year ended March 31, 2009, compared to sales 32.99 billion yen in 2008. Its operating loss reached 88 million yen, down 19.5 percent, compared to a 3.9 percent growth in operating profit, which was put at 77 million yen, last year.
On the other hand, some companies still have positive outlook. For instance, PCB maker Meiko Electronics Co. Ltd forecasts net earnings of 180 million yen for the full-year ended March 31, 2009, compared to initial forecasts of 80 million yen. Sales are expected to reach 44.04 million yen for the said period, compared to previous forecast of 43 million yen.
