ON MABUCHI MOTOR CO. LTD.: ICON GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD. PUBLISHES VERTICAL ANALYSIS AND LABOR UTILIZATION BENCHMARKS San Diego —-- Two of the most comprehensive vertical gap analysis and labor productivity benchmarks were released today by ICON Group International Ltd. on Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. (TYO: 6592). The methodologist for this unique study is Philip Parker, Eli Lilly Chair Professor of Innovation, Business and Society at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France and Singapore). According to Professor Parker, “We created these reports in response to two inescapable trends: a return to fundamentals and globalization.” The aim of these reports is to assist consultants, financial managers, strategic planners and corporate officers in gauging indicators of Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd.’s financial and human resource structure. Professor Parker adds, “With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of barriers to entry, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company’s financial indicators on a worldwide basis.” The report has benchmarked Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. against competing firms in the Motors and Generators industry worldwide—going beyond traditional methods of company benchmarking. The results are two specialized reports: (1) global financial benchmarks using common-size statement ratios (vertical analysis), and (2) labor-productivity and utilization measures collected across borders. Coverage of the Reports The vertical analysis report considers such concerns as: How does Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd.’s balance sheet structure differ from global benchmarks? Does Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. hold more cash and short-term assets, or does it concentrate its assets in physical plant and equipment? Does it have a higher percent of payables compared to the benchmarks? Does it hold a higher concentration of long-term debt? Does Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. have a relatively higher cost of goods sold, operating costs, income taxes, or profit margins compared to global benchmarks? Are workers at Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. productive? While there is no absolute answer to this economic question, the labor utilization analysis considers how labor deployment and productivity indicators for Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. differ from the global benchmarks. It looks at the amount of labor required to operate Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. and the resulting return on human investment. What is the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee? What are comparative capital-labor ratios? What are the average sales and net profits per employee in Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. compared to benchmarks in the same economic sector? Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. and other Motors and Generators companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for instance, varied from -4.61 to 30.18 within the group. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.” Reports for over 26 Motors and Generators companies are available now, including the following:
Methodology of the Reports While most vertical analyses focus on benchmarking against domestic ratios, often published by government agencies or commercial sources, ICON Group calculates thousands of industry norms by looking at firms at the global level. Statistics are pooled on tens of thousands of companies across over 40 countries, and a seven-stage methodology is applied: (1) identification of industry classifications, (2) firm-level data collection and aggregation, (3) standardization of raw statistics, (4) filtering outliers, (5) calculation of global norms, (6) projection of deviations and gaps, and (7) projection of ranks and percentiles. For each part of the financial statement, the larger structural differences and gaps between Mabuchi Motor Co. Ltd. and the global benchmarks are provided with summary tables of ranks and percentiles. Previously available only through booksellers such as Barnes and Noble , Amazon.com, and Hoovers, two studies are now available direct from the publisher at a 50% discount off the cover price. This special offer includes International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis and Labor Productivity Benchmarks and International Gap Analysis at US$ $420 ($210 each). E-mail
