IHI (7013): Still Engine-Driven – Aero & Turbochargers

Key Points 

  • Above guidance for Q1 but a quarter of OP related to delayed costs.  
  • ¥5bn in eventual higher project costs (mostly processing plants), ¥1bn we estimate due to slow production of PW1100 engine.  
  • On the positive side, management said ¥1.4bn of Q1 OP related to the inclusion of an extra 3 months for certain subsidiaries switching to a Mar-end, whereas earlier guidance assumed no profit from this.  
  • Of the 4 Divisions, Aero-Engines and Industrial / Machinery FY17 OP guidance each raised by ¥2.0bn respectively to ¥39.0bn (-26.5% YoY) and ¥13.0bn (-25.9% YoY). We think this is conservative.  
  • FY17 OP guidance is unchanged as the ¥13bn “buffer” for unforeseen problems has been reduced by ¥2bn, while OP for the Infrastructure / Offshore Division has been raised by ¥1.0bn to ¥8bn on better shield tunnelling profitability.
