Executive Summary
2017 marks 100th year since founding; core competency in marine paints
Chugoku Marine Paints (CMP) was founded in 1917 as an early domestic pioneer in anti-fouling paints. This coating is
applied to ships to slow subaquatic growth, making for a smoother hull and thus increasing fuel efficiency. At the
company’s founding, the majority of anti-fouling paints for both public and private use were sourced from overseas. A
focus on research and prioritizing technology remains part of the company’s DNA. By leveraging its core marine paint
technologies, CMP has grown in tandem with Japan’s shipping industry, while expanding into industrial and container
paints.
Leveraging technology, expanding market share by being an early mover in environmental solutions
Even within marine paints, anti-fouling paints require the ability to develop technology. As environmental concerns grow,
the company has led development of environmentally compliant anti-fouling paints, and strengthened its product lineup.
This has increased its brand recognition. Coupled with strengthened sales activities, this resulted in the company
expanding its domestic market share xx% in FY2005. (Note: FY refers to the Japanese fiscal year ending on March 31.)
Maintaining a leading global market share in anti-fouling and container paints
CMP holds almost 30% of the global market share in anti-fouling paints for new ships, and almost 20% of the ship repair
market. It has made steady market share gains over the past two decades. In anti-fouling paint for new ships, it has
increased its share in Japan to 60% (from over 40% prior to 2000), Korea to 20% (from 10%), and China to 30%
(following the taking off of the Chinese shipbuilding industry). Over the same period, CMP’s share of container paints has
grown to almost 30% (from about 20%) in China, which accounts for 95% of global container production.
Medium-term target: 12.4% increase in sales and 34.4% increase in operating profit
The company targets sales growth of 12.4% to JPY120bn (up JPY13.3bn from FY03/15) and operating profit growth of
34.4% to JPY10bn (up JPY2.6bn from FY03/15).
Target sales mix for paints: 60% ships, 20% containers, and 20% industrial
To achieve its medium-term targets, CMP aims to establish a leading market share in ship and container products; expand
into offshore structures; cultivate new markets in the industrial paint sector; and improve profitability. Its sales mix of paint
as of FY03/15 was 75% for ships, 13% for containers, and 12% for industrial. Still, it aims for 20% in both containers and
industrial, which it considers key growth areas.
Even without this sales mix, given FY03/16 forecasts (revised up on October 29, 2015), the company could achieve its
medium-term sales targets. However, to grow sales beyond that, accelerated growth in container and industrial paints is
necessary. Other important conditions include a recovery of container paint market and developing new markets in
industrial paints.
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths: Accumulated expertise from 100 years in core technologies、global network、and improving brand recognition.
Weaknesses: Capturing repair demand in anti-fouling paints to stabilize earnings, lack of experience in businesses other
than marine paints, and late start in offshore structures led to opportunity loss.

Earnings summary
Mainstay marine paints capture demand; favorable exchange rates also contribute to 18.0% YoY sales growth
In 1H FY03/16, sales were JPY59.6bn (up 18.0% YoY; up about 11% excluding forex effects) and operating profit was
JPY5.0bn (up 52.2% YoY). In mainstay marine paints, production volume of new ships continued to bottom in key
shipbuilding countries (such as Japan, Korea, and China), while demand was steady in ship repairs. By capturing steady
demand in these markets, the company saw sales in marine paints rise by 24.6% YoY to JPY46.6bn, bolstering overall
consolidated results.
Industrial paints stagnant in domestic and overseas markets; momentum declining in container paints
Sales of industrial paints were down 5.5% YoY, to JPY5.9bn, caused by stagnant demand in the construction sector in
Japan due to the lingering effects of the consumption tax hike, alongside sluggish performance overseas. Although
container paints were strong at the beginning of FY03/16, the market began to lose momentum from Q2 onward, leading
to sales of JPY6.9bn, up 4.1% YoY.
Improved profitability absorbs effects of VOC tax hike in China; operating profit up 52.2% and OPM up 1.9pp YoY
Operating profit grew by 52.2% YoY, the result of higher sales and improved profitability. GPM improved by 2.3pp to
30.1% as lower raw materials costs offset the effects of an increase in the Chinese volatile organic compound (VOC) tax,
which pushed down profits by more than JPY200mn. The lower raw material costs were primarily caused by lower oil
prices and measures to cut procurement costs. The company’s initial estimates included the effects of the higher VOC tax.
Chinese VOC tax: A consumption tax of 4% is applied to compounds with a VOC value that exceeds 420g/l. The tax applies to products
manufactured or imported on or after February 1, 2015.

LAST UPDATE【2015/12/24】
SG&A expenses increased due to higher sales commission fees and personnel expenses. Risk from customers
defaulting––initially seen as a concern at the beginning of FY03/16––did not prove to be a major issue. As a result,
operating profit was JPY5.0bn (up JPY1.7bn YoY), and OPM was 8.4% (up 1.9pp YoY).

In marine paints, although the overall new ship production market was showing signs of bottoming out, credit risk was
rising in the ship production industry in China and Korea. This credit risk was incorporated into the company’s initial
estimates for FY03/16, but was not an issue during 1H.
Japan
Sales were JPY16.6bn, up 14.0% YoY. In the domestic market, the company expected paint for new ships to see slightly
lower demand in 2015 than in 2014. The domestic shipping market is seeing price competition is intensifying against a
backdrop of a weaker yen, and the bulk shipping market is subject to a slowing Chinese economy and concerns of
economic stagnation in emerging markets. Still, the domestic market saw less of an effect compared to other markets by
shifting from bulk ships to ships such as tankers. CMP’s market share was on par with FY03/15, slightly increasing to over
60%.
China
Sales were JPY10.4bn, up 20.2% YoY. The company forecasts the Chinese market to be smaller than it initially expected
due to the effects of a downturn in bulk shipping. Still, CMP also sees that the market hit bottom in fiscal 2013 and 2014,
and is recovering. CMP’s sales grew significantly, and it maintained its market share amid the recovering market and forex
impact.
Korea
Sales were JPY8.4bn, up 59.1% YoY. The Korean shipbuilding industry was struggling, pressured by technological
competition and the weaker yen from Japan, and cost competitiveness in China. The company was focusing on marine
resource development, given the drop in oil prices and resulting market stagnation. In 2015, marine paint demand was
boosted due to an increase in completed ships, but the company forecasts demand to decrease in 2016. Despite this
market environment, CMP’s sales activities to shipowners expanded its market share and bolstered sales.
Repair demand
A rush in repair demand in spring 2015 boosted CMP’s 1H FY03/16 results. Demand was spurred by the impending
adoption of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, which

seeks to prevent the movement of harmful organisms and pathogens within ballast water.* However, this demand was
cooling as of November 2015.
*International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments: Ratified by the International Maritime
Organization in February 2004, the conditions for activation have not yet been satisfied as of November 2015. The conditions are ratification
by 30 or more countries (satisfied) and the total shipping tonnage of the ratified countries to achieve 35% of global volume (32.86% as of
August 2015). The convention will go into effect 12 months from the day the conditions are satisfied. Key countries that have yet to ratify and
are possible candidates to do so in the near future are Italy (1.39% of global shipping tonnage), Indonesia (1.14%), and India (0.78%).

Industrial paints were weak, both in Japan and abroad. In the domestic market, recovery was sluggish for
construction-related paints, which account for about two-thirds of the company’s sales. Overseas sales were weak given a
significant portion of sales coming from petrochemical plants (with sluggish performance) in Southeast Asia.
The company appears to have adopted a cautious stance for 2H, in light of the sluggish trends in Japan and overseas
during 1H.

Container paints show volatile performance. Demand appeared to be softening from Q2 onward, and CMP was expecting
it to decelerate in 2H, as some demand from 2H was pushed forward to 1H. Still, full-year figures for 2015 are expected to
be on par with 2013.

Revised company forecasts
On October 29, 2015, CMP made upward revisions to its 1H FY03/16 and full-year FY03/16 forecasts. It cited the
following reasons:
◤
Robust demand for marine paints for new ships, and a rush in demand for ship repairs due to the impending
adoption of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments;
◤
◤
Improved profitability overall;
No issues regarding clients defaulting, initially expected for 1H.
In 2H forecasts, however, sales and profits were revised down. The company stated the following reasons:
◤
Some 2H demand may have been pushed forward to 1H, given the robust repair demand;

Decelerating demand for container paints, which was robust in Q1;
In industrial paints, caution regarding construction demand in Japan and plant demand in Southeast Asia;
Concerns regarding recovering liabilities in the hundreds of millions of yen;
Possible effects of lower oil prices and raw materials costs not included in domestic forecasts.
Market forecasts for 2016 (CMP’s FY03/17)
Marine paints
CMP’s 2016 market forecasts (November 2015)
Japan: The company estimates that the 2016 domestic market will be on par with 2015. This is due to increased
competitiveness from the weaker yen and the shift away from bulk shipping.
China: Although 2015 undershot initial expectations due to a decline in bulk shipping, the company has not changed its
view that the Chinese market has been recovering after bottoming in 2013 and 2014. It appears that CMP expects market
in 2016 to be on par with or higher than the 2012 market.
Korea: The Korean shipbuilding industry was struggling, pressured by the weaker yen from Japan, and cost
competitiveness in China. In particular, recent focus placed on offshore structures combined with lower oil prices was
hurting the Korean marine paint market. In 2015, marine paint demand was boosted due to an increase in completed
ships, but the company forecasts demand to decrease in 2016.
Repairs
As the compliance deadline approaches, 2016 may see the same rush demand as in the previous year. Despite that
possibility, Shared Research believes that the company was expecting the same level of demand in 2016 as in the latter
half 2015, based on the fact that the rush demand had subsided in the second half of 2015.

Outlook
Targeting sales of JPY120bn and operating profit of JPY10bn
In the medium-term, CMP target sales of JPY120bn (up 12.4%, or JPY13.3bn, versus FY03/15) and operating profit of
JPY10bn (up 34.4%, or JPY2.6bn).
Target sales mix for paint: 60% ships, 20% containers, and 20% industrial-use
CMP sees the following factors as key to reaching its targets:
▶
▶
▶
▶
Establish a leading market share in paint for ships and containers;
Expand into offshore structures;
Cultivate new markets in the industrial sector;
Improve profitability.
The company’s sales mix as of FY03/15: 75% ships, 13% containers, and 12% industrial. But the company wants to make
paint for containers and industrial reach 20% each.
Even without the 60:20:20 sales mix, given FY03/16 forecasts (revised up on October 29, 2015), the company could
achieve its medium-term sales targets. But to grow sales beyond JPY120bn, accelerated growth in container and industrial
paints is necessary. Other important conditions include a recovery of the container paint market and developing new
markets in industrial paints.
Top market share in ship and container paint
Aim for top market share by improving weaker areas
CMP has top global market shares for marine and container paints. Yet certain regions and markets pose challenges, and it
seeks to improve in these areas. The company’s market share estimates for paint (as of FY03/15) stand at under 30% for
new ships, about 20% for ship repairs, and under 30% for containers. Plans seek to increase these figures to over 30% for
new ships and containers, and almost 30% for repairs.

Repair demand
According to company estimates, in the overall market, marine paint demand comprises about 40% for new ships and
60% for ship repairs in 2015. In contrast, for CMP, new ships accounted for about 55% of sales, demonstrating CMP’s
strength in the new ship market, but also space to capture demand in the ship repair market.

Aim to establish its brand
CMP has been able to acquire a high market share in the new ship market due to its connections with ports and
shipowners, combined with strong sales activities. In the ship repair market, however, customer needs vary—some value
cost while others value functionality. Customers in Europe tend to be particularly sensitive to costs.
To further increase market share in marine paint for new ships, CMP plans to focus on sales activities to shipowners, and
strengthening brand recognition leveraging its position as a market leader. New products that demonstrate functionality
and quality are essential, as is a strong track record.

LAST UPDATE【2015/12/24】
CMP was able to provide efficient and quality products, and to strengthen its track record. It was one of the first marine
paint companies to adapt its products to meet environmental needs. The company introduced its SEAFLO NEO series of
anti-fouling paints in 2010. SEAFLO NEO significantly reduces VOC (volatile organic compounds), and improves fuel
efficiency through reduced friction. As of 1H FY03/16, its NEO series—including SEAFLO NEO Z, introduced in
2014—accounted for over half of marine paint sales. CMP plans to increase market share through sales activities
leveraging the track record of its SEAFLO NEO series.
Strengthening partnerships
CMP has made creating a global structure a top priority, and has created a global service network for production (plants),
supply (storage locations), and marketing (sales offices). As of October 2015, it had a presence in about 30 countries and
80 bases (production, supply and marketing). Its network includes local subsidiaries, as well as technological partnerships
with companies overseas. CMP has already extended its network into key regions, and it plans to continue expansion into
locations with potential long-term demand, such as areas with potential natural resources or economic growth.
Responding to environmental concerns through VOC products for container paint
The company has a container paint market share of almost 30%, and is focusing on further growth through development
of environmentally compliant paint. It thinks that stricter regulations will mean an industry shift to water-based paints, and
began test sales of a water-based paint in 2013. China is seeing tightening environmental regulations, such as added
taxation on paints with VOC over a certain level. According to the company, all major marine paint manufacturers have
developed water-based paints for containers, although performance varies. The industry has yet to transition to
water-based paints due to cost issues such as creating facilities for organic solvents, but this could change with stricter
VOC policies in China.
Chinese VOC tax: A consumption tax of 4% is applied to compounds with a VOC value that exceeds 420g/l. The tax applies to products
manufactured or imported on or after February 1, 2015.
Expansion into offshore structures
Winning orders for large-scale projects, despite slow start of Japanese companies (CMP’s customers)
CMP’s market share in offshore structures is small. While Japanese companies (CMP’s primary customers) were slow to
develop offshore structures for marine resource development, non-Japanese companies were actively entering the
market. As a result, rival firm International Paint (subsidiary of Akzo Nobel N.V.; Euronext: AKZA) captured a large global
market share, compared to CMP, which relied on Japanese companies. Although development projects around the world
are being postponed or canceled due to low oil prices, it is still a large market, and remains on the company’s radar.

To enter marine development, the company established a marine development department in 2012. In 2013, its products
were chosen for use in the MOSE project, large-scale mobile gates to prevent flooding in Venice, Italy.
Anti-flooding gates are typically installed underwater to prevent damage to the surrounding environment. This requires
materials with high levels of anti-corrosion and anti-fouling functions. After evaluating various coating materials and

systems for more than 10 years, the MOSE project selected CMP’s products—primarily Bioclean. The company’s paints
were delivered in line with construction progress, and sales were recorded on a quarterly basis during FY03/15. The
company expects continued demand from the second stage of construction. Maintenance is to be conducted every five
to ten years, for 100 years.
In 2014, the company’s anti-corrosion products—primarily BANNOH 2000—were selected for use in the construction,
maintenance, and operation of the Uruguay-based Floating LNG Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), undertaken by
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (TSE1: 9104). As of October 2015, the FSRU project was under construction by Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (Korea-based KRX: 042660), and had the largest LNG storage tank in the
world, with capacity of 263,000 cubic meters. It is slated for operation in mid 2017.
CMP’s has high market share when considering sales solely to Japanese companies. It is particularly strong in offshore
wind power generation, where it holds 90% domestic market share. If the market share of Japanese companies grows,
then CMP’s market share should follow suit. Still, amid a decline in oil prices, more time may be required until global
investment in marine resource development and LNG gain momentum.
Development and sales department to market new applications and coordinate industrial and marine segments overseas
In July 2015, the company established a development and sales department to oversee the existing marine department
and overseas industrial sales department. This new department serves to win new projects and lead development of new
product applications, in addition to coordinating operations between the industrial and marine segments. CMP’s market
share in offshore structures is small, so Shared Research sees significant potential to expand market share.

Seeking new markets in industrial paints
CMP aims to increase industrial paints to 20% of sales, by leveraging its core technologies in new areas. Its heavy
anti-corrosion technology includes anti-fouling paint for use in offshore structures and offshore wind power plants, as well
as CONTECT (to prevent peeling of concrete in humid environments).
CMP began sales of CONTECT in 2013. In June 2015, CONTECT WE100 (with additional special fibers) was registered on
the New Technology Information System (NETIS) of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
NETIS is a system to evaluate and promote technologies for public works projects. CONTECT is used to prevent and repair
concrete peeling in public infrastructure such as highways and railroads. According to the information registered in
NETIS, this product reduces lead times by as much as 50% compared with previous methods of attaching layers of fiber
sheets, cutting total costs by more than 20% on lower personnel and facilities expenses. Although sales for this product as
of FY03/15 were still in the tens of millions of yen, the company anticipates future growth.

Enter the automotive market leveraging its paints for woodwork
Apart from the heavy anti-corrosion sector, CMP is seeking to break into the high function paint market. A key product is
PHOLUCID—a hard coating material intended for use in automotive headlight covers. This product takes CMP’s UV
curable paint technology for woodwork and applies it to plastics. Headlight covers typically use polycarbonate materials,
which become opaque and yellow, and are easy to scratch. The company provides hard coatings to protect these
polycarbonate materials. As of November 2015, evaluations had been completed in the US, and the company had applied
for regulatory approval. It was expecting the product to enter the market in 2016.
Strengths of PHOLUCID (per CMP):
1.
Curing starts immediately after ultraviolet light irradiation, leading to faster production lines
2.
Large-scale drying ovens are not necessary, leading to compact facilities and simpler production lines
3.
High hardness properties, contributes to durability
4.
Various functions can be incorporated to meet customer needs
5.
Possible to apply to various materials including ABS and PET plastics
The company does not expect PHOLUCID to reach the target of 20% of sales in the near future given the small scale of
sales of high function paints. Still, through the development and sales department CMP seeks to expand its products and
their applications. Other products that saw new applications include CMP LINER (uses technology from the CUS product,
a railway caulking resin to fill gaps between beams and crossties which has been sold to bullet train and railway operators
both in Japan and abroad for more than 40 years), and EVATRON (a radio wave absorbing paint that can reduce
interference and prevent corrosion).

PHOLUCID
Improving profitability
Targeted sales of JPY120bn and operating profit of JPY10bn imply a target OPM of 8.3%. Using the revised FY03/16
forecasts (sales of JPY115bn, operating profit of JPY9bn, OPM of 7.8%), Shared Research calculates that CMP may be able
to post an operating profit of JPY10bn if it hits its sales targets. The company thinks it can improve profitability even
further, if it can increase efficiency and lower costs.
CMP is exploring initiatives such as unmanned factories, inventory cost reductions, and consolidation and discontinuation
of certain products and raw materials.
Unmanned factories
CMP is exploring the implementation unmanned factories. This initiative was triggered by environmental factors
(measures to combat VOC), and cost factors (personnel expenses). Plans call for tests in Europe, followed by expansion
into its key production bases in Shanghai and Japan.

Business expansion
History
2017 marks 100th anniversary since founding; core competency in marine paints
The company was founded in 1917 by a former technical officer of the Kure Naval Arsenal as a domestic pioneer in
anti-fouling paint. At that time, the majority of anti-fouling paints for both public and private use were sourced from
overseas. In its initial year, the company acquired patents in Japan, the UK, and the US, and was registered as a naval
supplier in 1926. In addition to anti-fouling paints, the company acquired patents for products such as oxygen-generating
agents and synthetic resins. A focus on research and prioritizing technology remains part of the company’s DNA.

CMP’s anti-fouling paints were chosen as a “superior domestic product” by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in
September 1930, and designated as a “standard paint” by the Ministry of the Navy of Japan in March 1931. CMP grew in
tandem with Japan’s postwar shipping industry, expanding into industrial and container paints.
Expanding from marine paints to container paints; shifting production locations to capture top market share
In the 1973, CMP established a main overseas base in Hong Kong, and expanded into container paints. It shifted its
production of container paints from Japan to Korea, Taiwan, and China. CMP held about 30% share in the container paint
market.

Local production for local consumption; creating overseas network through partnerships
In 1985, the Plaza Accord caused a rapid appreciation in the yen, and the company took advantage of this opportunity to
establish production bases overseas, working throughout the 1990s and 2000s to consolidate its network. In contrast
with standard overseas production models, the company aimed for local production for local consumption. By partnering
with local firms to license its technology, the company filled regional gaps, leading to its current overseas network. CMP
still uses this model of localized production and consumption.
In the industrial paints sector, which has various applications, the company narrowed its focus during the 1990s to
concentrate resources on heavy anti-corrosion (anti-rust) and wooden materials (construction materials).

Technology responding to environmental concerns
Leveraging technology to expand; core competency in anti-fouling paints
Anti-fouling paints are a segment of marine paints where technological ability is particularly valuable. As environmental
concerns grow, the company has prioritized developing environmentally compliant anti-fouling paints. In the late 1980s,
organotin compounds (particularly tributyltin), frequently used in anti-fouling paints, were discovered to have
detrimental effects on marine life. CMP swiftly responded by terminating anti-fouling paints that contained organotin
compounds, and worked to develop more environmentally friendly products.
Swift response to global tin-free movement; success in gaining market share
Organotin compounds are suitable for use as biocides, but in 2001an international agreement adopted by the
International Maritime Organization banned new coats of anti-fouling paints containing organotin from 2003 onward.
From 2008, the organotin compounds were banned outright. This meant either complete removal of the compounds
from ships, or a protective coat to prevent them from leaking into the environment. This tin-free movement significantly
impacted the marine paints industry. In the 1980s International Paint was the market leader, followed by five smaller firms,
but Japanese companies were able to quickly catch up and expand market share due to their early development of tin-free
paints. In Japan a voluntary ban on the compounds was enacted by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association in the
1990s.
In the 2000s, hydrolysable paints that react with seawater to become hydrophilic resins became the industry standard.
Hydrophilic resins dissolve with seawater, demonstrating anti-fouling properties. Competition for development of tin-free
paints is heated among Japanese companies, especially between Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. (TSE1: 4612), NOF
Corporation (TSE1: 4403), and CMP. CMP strengthened its product lineup through development of all types of
hydrolysable paints, including acrylic polymer and silyl polymer. These strengths in development and product variety
contributed to strong brand recognition, and in combination with improved sales activities, CMP gained the leading
position in the domestic market.

at all of its bases. Container paints are manufactured in China, where demand is highest. Industrial paints are
manufactured in Southeast Asia, China, and Japan, where demand is high. Production capacity of marine paints is about
25,000 metric tons per month, with almost half produced in Shanghai and Guangdong, China, and less than 40% in
Japan. Utilization rates are about 90%, and particularly busy months are managed through overtime production.
No significant investments expected, excluding unmanned plants
The company’s production capacity is increasing, and investment is not likely to spike in the immediate future. However,
it is considering building unmanned plants, and related investment may be made at plants in Europe, Shanghai, and
Japan. The company stated that about JPY1.5bn is required to establish a plant with monthly output of 2,000–5,000 tons.
Factoring in the additional investment required for an unmanned factory, the figure could be JPY2.0–2.5bn.

Development structure: Hiroshima (marine, containers) and Shiga (industrial) as backbones; possible aggressive investment
Production is concentrated in Hiroshima (marine paints, container paints, resins) and Shiga (industrial paints). Marine
paints are developed in Hiroshima and produced in areas such as Kyushu. Container paints are developed in Hiroshima
and produced in China. Industrial paints are both developed and produced in Shiga.
Technology departments are located in Shanghai, Korea, Singapore, and the Netherlands, and serve to adjust formulas to
local conditions, and customize products to meet local needs. While master formulas are created in Japan, each local
market has different materials that may be used, materials that may be bought at lower costs, and demand, so the local
departments optimize and adjust the master recipes to meet local needs. The Netherlands base also gathers data on
CMP’s European competitors. R&D expenses are almost JPY2.0bn, mainly from personnel expenses. As it has sufficient
funds, the company plans to actively invest in R&D.

* Made a consolidated subsidiary given its substantial performance
As of FY03/15, the company had 24 consolidated subsidiaries. Aside from Kobe Paints, Ltd., all have a financial year-end in
December. Although the company’s stake in its Thai subsidiary is 49.0%, CMP controls operations and so it is
consolidated.
When analyzing income from equity-method affiliates, focus on Thailand, Korea, and China
Income from equity-method affiliates is heavily influenced by the performance of consolidated subsidiaries in Thailand
(49.0% stake; mainly industrial paints) and Korea (59.5% stake; mainly marine paints). Performance of the Shanghai
subsidiary (92% stake) is also a factor, as container paints are volatile and almost entirely target the Chinese market.
All joint ventures are local companies.

The company’s reportable segments are divided by region. CMP also releases sales by region and market. As regional
segments have a combination of marine, industrial, and container paints, the data can be difficult to decipher. It is more
effective to consider the company’s performance by product category—marine paints, industrial paints, and container
paints.

Summary
Marine paints primarily used in large ships such as tankers
Marine paints are used primarily for large ships such as tankers, bulk ships, and container ships, but also for pleasure boats
and fishing boats. This business has built upon core technologies developed since the company’s founding, and has high
margins compared with other product categories. In particular, CMP has been able to add value in anti-fouling paints.
The following describes the company’s business structure for paints for large ships, which account for the majority of
sales.
Demand: new ships and repairs (averaging three years)
Demand for large ships can be divided into new ships and ship repairs. Shipbuilding is done primarily in China, Japan, and
Korea. Repair demand is centered in Southeast Asian areas such as Singapore, given the location along global shipping
lanes and the concentration of shipping and maintenance companies in those countries. Global demand for marine paints
is about 40% for new ships and 60% for ship repairs. CMP is a global market leader, with almost 30% share in new ships
and more than 20% in ship repairs. The sales composition is split 55:45 between new ships and ship repairs.
Demand for new ships occurs at various stages during the shipbuilding process, but the initial stages show the most
demand. The ship repair cycle is two to five years, with an average of three years. Demand is heavily influenced by global
shipping tonnage. During repairs, anti-fouling paints are completely reapplied. Each repair cycle sees the re-emergence
of competition, so a high market share in new ships does not translate into a high share in repairs. Generally, it seems that
about 1% of a ship’s overall manufacturing cost is earmarked for paint.

LAST UPDATE【2015/12/24】
New ship demand
The marine transport industry has continued to grow amid global economic growth and globalization. Increased marine
transport volume has boosted demand for shipping. Increased shipping tonnage (number of ships multiplied by average
capacity per ship) have led to demand for new ships. Demand for new ships was particularly robust from 2003, in line
with China’s rapid economic growth.
Shipbuilding orders fell sharply during the global financial crisis. In the shipbuilding industry, after 2010–2012, when
orders received in 2007–2008 were completed, the number of orders for new ships was on a downtrend. This surplus
shipping capacity led to falling prices, compressing margins in the marine transport industry, and leading to fewer new
ships being built.
In 2013, orders received began to recover, and it appears that conditions have bottomed out in core shipbuilding
countries such as Japan, China, and Korea. The number of orders on hand in these countries at end 2014 has been steady
for about two years, leading CMP to expect shipbuilding demand to be steady. Still, paint prices have declined due to
constrained spending on shipbuilding following the global financial crisis, and this effect has remained through FY03/15.

Repair demand
Repair demand for paint is driven by bottom paint, which deteriorates with age. Demand fluctuates less for ship repair
than for new ships, although there is some volatility. In addition, demand can spike with stricter regulations, as companies
rush to comply. On the whole, demand for repairs is steady.
When repairing ships, anti-fouling paints are reapplied to the entire bottom. The ship repair cycle is about two to five
years, with an average of three years. The amount of paint is driven by surface area but also by how much shipping
volume. As a result, more shipping volume means more paint.

Interior: Anti-corrosion paint, water-resistant paint, living quarters paint, etc.

Business structure
From receiving orders to booking sales
The construction of a large ship requires between three to four years from contract signing to completion. After the
contract is signed, stages include planning and design, ship block construction, block installation, launch and rigging,
testing, and delivery. The keel must be laid about six months prior to delivery, and contracts for paint must be signed
about one to two years before the keel is laid. As most of marine paint sales are booked during the stage when the keel is
laid, from receiving an order to recording sales can take between one and two years.
Block installation is done either on a berth or in a construction dock. The official beginning of construction of a ship either on a berth or in a
construction dock is called laying the keel. Launch entails floating the ship that was previously in a berth or construction dock. Completion
refers to the completion of all construction work .

Customers: ports and shipowners for new ships, shipowners for repairs
Customers for new ships and ship repairs vary slightly. For new ships, shipowners contract with shipyards to build a ship.
Unless requested by the future owner, the shipyard chooses paints based upon a standardized list according to the
intended use of the ship. However, when paint reapplication is required for ship repairs, shipowners contract directly
with paint manufacturers. The shipowner can request a certain paint type, even those not on the list, so sales to
shipowners become essential. In paint for new ships, the company aims to be included on the standard list and to be
requested by shipowners. In paint for repairs, the company is directly targeting shipowners, including operators.
Maintaining and increasing market share requires strong connections with shipyards and shipowners
The company has gained a high market share in the new shipbuilding market due to its connections with shipyards and
shipowners, which it strengthens through sales activities. Yet in the ship repair market, customer needs vary—some value
cost while others value functionality. Customers in Europe are particularly cost sensitive.

Where are sales booked?
New ships: sales are booked in the country of the shipyard where the ship is built. Paints are delivered to the shipyard.
Ship repairs: sales are booked in the country where the shipowner is based. The shipowner places the order.
Geographic segment profits
In international shipping, shipowners and shipyards are unevenly distributed geographically. In response, CMP has
established a group to unify its global network and win orders. Although localized production and consumption is a core
policy for CMP, raw materials may be sourced from and operating expenses concentrated in certain regions. This can
cause geographic segment profits to show up as losses.

Japanese companies have global market share of 20% (new ships); CMP holds 60% domestic share in new ships, top in repairs
Based on completed projects, Japan has a global market share of about 20% in the market for new ships (2014). New
ships comprise 38% of marine paint sales (FY03/15). In new ships, the company holds a market share of about 60% in
Japan. For repairs it faces fierce competition for the top market share. As of 2014, it was second to NKM Coatings Co., Ltd.
(wholly owned subsidiary of Kansai Paint; partnered with Jotun).
CMP has relative strength in large ocean-going vessels, but as the bulk of domestic demand comes from coastal vessels, it
cannot use this strength in Japan. However, Shared Research thinks that the company is more focused on competing for
ocean-going vessel demand, which represents a larger market. Competition for Japanese coastal vessel repair is limited to
domestic competitors, but in overseas ocean-going vessels it is competing with International, Jotun, Hempel, and PPG.

Domestic new ship and repair demand
Although domestic repair demand fell in 2000–2005, CMP’s sales were gently rising. This was due to the company
shifting its ship repair docks for ocean-going vessels, such as to China and Singapore. As of 2015, domestic ship repair
demand was centered on coastal vessels. Shared Research does not foresee any further decline in domestic repair
demand.

China has a global market share of about 35% for new ships (completed) in 2014. CMP’s sales composition of marine
paints is 25% for new ships (FY03/15). The company has a market share in Chin of almost 30% for new ships, and jostles
with Jotun for the prime position. Shipbuilding in China grew in tandem with the country’s rapid economic development.
Yet a limited number of Chinese companies have the necessary shipbuilding technology to shift away from the bulk
shipping market, meaning the Chinese market could be hit if the bulk shipping market declines. Many Japanese
companies, by contrast, can use their technologies to shift from manufacturing bulk ships to tankers or other ships.
Jotun—which competes with CMP for the top position—established Jotun Ocean Paint in 1993 in partnership with
COSCO. As such, for new ships and ship repairs involving COSCO, order will go to Jotun. However, CMP has been
successful in acquiring other customers, and its share in China has been about 30% from 2005.

LAST UPDATE【2015/12/24】
Korea had a global market share of about 35% for new ships (completed) in 2014. CMP’s sales composition for marine
paints is 14% for new ships (as of FY03/15). The company had a market share of about 10% for new ships until 2013, but
sales measures to capture demand from southern European shipowners were successful. Market share was 20–30% in
2014.
Competitors include Jotun, International, and KCC, rounding out the top four companies in the country (including the
company). However, shipyards in Korea tend to use domestic KCC products, and CMP is aiming to increase its market
share through stronger sales activities to shipowners. Additionally, Korean firms are strong in marine resource
development (offshore structures), and if the oil and energy market gains momentum, demand for related anti-fouling
materials may increase. Still, as of 2015 demand for offshore structures was soft on relatively low oil prices.

Key products
Anti-fouling paints
Anti-fouling paints (to prevent degradation of ship bottoms) have long been a core technology for the company.
Anti-fouling paints cut friction with water by acting as a protective coating to prevent shellfish and algae from attaching to
ship bottoms. This boosts fuel efficiency. Wave drag resistance, viscous pressure resistance, and friction all effect marine
vessel operation. Of these, viscous pressure and friction accounts for 60–80% of total resistance. Smoothing the painted
surface can further decrease friction and increase fuel efficiency. As shipping companies look to increase efficiency, the
company is focusing on providing high-performance anti-fouling paints that are environmentally compliant.

Anti-fouling paint sale activities focus on track record, plus price and efficiency
SEAFLO NEO, which went on sale in 2010, was used on more than 200 vessels in three years. The product has continued
to enjoy steady sales growth. In 2013, the company unveiled SEAFLO NEO Z, with further improvements in performance.
SEAFLO NEO Z lasts up to 60 months, and has proven to be a smooth, stable paint. SEAFLO NEO Z leads to a 5–8%
improvement in fuel efficiency (SEAFLO NEO is 3–5%) when compared with traditional hydrolysable anti-fouling paints,
according to the company. The paint also addresses environmental concerns such as reducing carbon dioxide and VOC
emissions. It received recognition in 2014 by the Ministry of the Environment and the Nihon Keizai Shimbun for
combating global warming.
In anti-fouling paints, the company has been focusing on its track record, in addition to price and functionality. The NEO
series, including SEAFLO NEO Z, already makes up 50% of mainstay anti-fouling paint sales. The company can use this
solid track record when winning new customers.

Demand
Container demand closely correlated to shipping volume; demand for container paints almost all new
The total number of shipping containers has continued to increase in proportion to shipping volume growth. The average
lifespan of a container is 12–13 years. The price of a new container is about USD1,500. Old containers are sold as scrap
material or converted for other uses. As a result, repair demand is low, so container coating sales hinge on new unit
production. Global economic downturn can prompt a big drop in demand for container paint.

Container ships on key shipping routes continue to get bigger, supporting container paint demand
Shipping containers must first be installed in a container terminal, for temporary storage. Then containers are stacked on
the appropriate container ship, carried on a container vessel capable of carrying several thousand TEUs along key
shipping routes, and transferred to smaller container vessels, which transport them to their final destination.
The construction of new container vessels was previously expected to lead to 3x container demand, as it would require
one container for the starting point, for transport, and for the destination. But now, due to efficiency gains, construction
to new container vessels leads to under 2x container demand. Trends of building vessels with increased capacity have led
to vessels carrying more than 10,000 TEUs, and vessels with 20,000-plus TEU capacity are slated for completion in 2017.
TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units): TEUs are units used to express a container's carrying capacity, with 1 TEU corresponding to a single 20ft
container. Containers are typically 20ft by 40ft; a 40ft container is classified as 2 TEU.

Business structure
Sales and customers
Key customers for container paint are container manufacturers. CMP also sells to shipowners who own containers, and
container leasing companies. Using its existing sales network and local support facilities has enabled it to maintain its
market share.
Container production centered on China, where CMP has almost 30% market share
Almost 95% of global production of containers is centered on China. As such, the company sells almost all of its container
paint in China. The worldwide container handling volume is increasing in net terms by 15mn to 20mn units annually. In
line with this, container demand is estimated at around 2.5mn to 3mn containers per year, and company forecasts
suggest that demand will continue to be around 2.5mn a year, plus or minus 10% (although demand for new containers
could increase to more than 3mn, as it did in 2007 and 2014).
The company was an early entrant to the Chinese market, and has been able to maintain a market share of almost 30%.
CMP is one of the top groups, alongside COSCO Kansai. Demand spiked in FY03/07 and FY03/08, after which sales
declined significantly, mainly due to a decline in paint prices that followed a slowdown in the overall container industry.
The company's market share also dropped from more than 30% to under 30%.
Competitor COSCO Kansai has captured demand from the COSCO Group. Yet CMP captured demand from companies
other than COSCO, enabling it to increase market share in FY03/07 and FY03/08.

Summary
Resources concentrated in anti-corrosion and wooden materials during the 1990s; high domestic market share
Industrial paints use the company’s experience gained in marine paints. In the 1990s CMP focused on heavy
anti-corrosion (anti-rust) and wooden construction materials.
By region, sales in Southeast Asia were JPY4.5bn in FY03/15. Domestically, construction sales are 2x heavy anti-corrosion
sales. In construction, products for wooden floors comprise about half of sales. For heavy anti-corrosion, products for
manufacturing plants account for one third of sales, and anti-fouling paint for electricity generation about one quarter.
CMP has been able to strengthen its technological ability through focusing on certain businesses. Its domestic share of
anti-fouling paint for electricity generation is almost two thirds of the overall market; in wooden flooring it holds over half.

Measures for new markets
In industrial paints, the company wants to expand into new fields using its core technologies. Heavy anti-corrosion paint
technologies include anti-corrosion paint BIOCLEAN intended for offshore structures and wind power generation, and
CONTECT, which can prevent the peeling of concrete in humid conditions.
Apart from the heavy anti-corrosion sector, CMP is also seeking to enter high function paints. For example, PHOLUCID—a
hard coating material for use in automotive headlight covers—uses the company’s core technologies in UV curable paints
for woodwork, and applies them to plastics.

Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
◤
100 years’ experience in core technologies: After being founded in 1917, the company focused on marine
paints as its core technology, beginning sales to the Japan’s Navy before the WWII, and expanding to the civil
shipbuilding market domestically as well as to China and Korea after the war. It has been successful in maintaining a
leading market share. Shared Research views this success as a result of CMP’s focus on technology and leveraging
the technology to quickly respond to evolving market needs such as demand for environmentally compliant and fuel
efficient paints. Capitalizing on its core technology, the company has expanded to include container paints and
industrial paints, and is now searching for a profitable niche in industrial paints.
◤
Global network: Shipbuilding is concentrated in Japan, China, and Korea, while repairs are centered in Southeast
Asia. The majority of shipowners are located in Europe and the Americas. As such, a global network in each major
area of the world is important to success in marine paints. CMP’s model is “local production for local
consumption”—the company was early to expand overseas through joint ventures and partnerships, allowing it to
build a global production, storage, and distribution network. While the number of partners still lags that of its
western rivals, CMP’s coatings are sought by shipowners, and its paints have been placed on standard lists of
shipyards. This allowed the company to expand and maintain a high market share.
◤
Growing brand recognition: Both sales capabilities and a strong brand are prerequisite to expand market share,
with functionality, cost, and track record being the key to successful customer acquisition. The company has been
developing fuel efficient and environmentally compliant products since 2010. During FY03/15, about 1/2 of CMP’s
marine paint sales were from new products introduced from 2010 or later, and its brand recognition has been rising.
Shared Research believes that if the company could further lower its cost base, it would be able to increase its
market share in repairs, particularly in anti-fouling paints.
Weaknesses
◤
Need to capture repair demand in anti-fouling paints to stabilize earnings: CMP leads the market in the
marine paints industry for new ships, at almost 30%. However, its market share in repairs is lower, at about 20%. For
the industry overall, the market for new ships vs. repairs is roughly 2:3. The repair market is less influenced by the
vagaries of the industry cycle compared to the new ship market. Gaining ground in the market for repairs would
lead to increased earnings stability.
◤
Limited experience outside of the marine paints domain: The company targets a sales mix of 60% marine
paints, 20% container paints, and 20% industrial paints. As of FY03/15, these figures were 75%, 13%, and 12%,
respectively. Although the company has introduced new products using its existing core technology, such as
anti-peeling paints for concrete, and hard coatings for automobile headlights, their contributions to earnings as of
FY03/16 was limited. In Shared Research’s view, these new areas are requiring time to accumulate technologies and
marketing experience, and to build sales and customer networks.
◤
Late entry into offshore structures leading to opportunity losses: Although CMP has a market share of
between 20% and 30% in marine paints, its share in offshore structures (marine resource development) is low
despite a substantial addressable market. International Paint, a major rival, has had a head start in this area, while
CMP is yet to gain any meaningful traction. In the Korean shipbuilding industry, where the market is concentrated,
total orders outstanding for the top three companies as of October 2015 stood at USD127.9bn, of which 46%
(USD59.4bn) was for offshore structures. CMP, on the other hand, had only one order from a Japanese company,
highlighting its late start.

Effects of market environment changes
Until FY03/13, for the parent company, material costs accounted for almost 90% of CoGS. Owing to the impact of the
naphtha market, market prices overseas became increasingly volatile, and domestically forex played a role as well. Resin
takes up a large share of costs by value and has a high processing cost—which allows CMP to add value—meaning that the
naphtha market has an indirect impact, although delayed. This trend becomes even stronger for materials that use special
resins like anti-fouling paints.

Exchange rates
CMP has created a world-wide network for both manufacturing and sales. The company aims for localized production and
consumption. It does not experience effects from exchange rates on a sales or operating profit level like a normal
exporting company. These effects are typically felt from conversion rates when forming a new partnership. Raw material
prices are affected but the impact on the company is not significant. Forex gains and losses in non-operating profit mainly
comprise both settlement and valuation differences. Note that the impact of Chinese subsidiaries when they borrow
dollars is significant.

The following describe elements of the income statement unique to CMP.
SG&A expenses
The main components of SG&A expenses are semi-fixed costs like personnel expenses, and variable costs like
transportation expenses and sales commissions. A big overseas footprint means exchange rates have a big impact.
Royalties received—non-operating profit
Licensees of its technology are part of its global supply network. The following table shows the major overseas
partnerships. From partners, CMP gets an initial royalty plus a percentage of sales.
Technological training fee—non-operating profit
After application the paint becomes like a film coating and starts to exhibit its properties. The company receives
technological training fees when aiding in the process. As the amount of work increases as the number of people
associated with a project increases, this may impact SG&A expenses.

Income from equity-method affiliates
Income from equity-method affiliates is heavily influenced by the performance of consolidated subsidiaries in Thailand
(49.0% stake; mainly industrial paints) and Korea (59.5% stake; mainly marine paints). Performance of the Shanghai
subsidiary (92% stake) is also a factor, as container paints are volatile and almost entirely target the Chinese market.
All joint ventures are local companies.
Geographic segment profits
In international shipping, shipowners and shipyards are unevenly distributed geographically. In response, CMP has
established a group to unify its global network and win orders. Although localized production and consumption is a core
policy for CMP, raw materials may be sourced from and operating expenses concentrated in certain regions. This can

Accounts payable and accrued expenses—current liabilities
Accounts payable for sales commissions are recorded in this item. Unpaid portions are recorded according to
construction progress. The difference between accounts payable and accrued expenses lies in whether or not the liability
has been determined. We note that the government’s recognition of this can be different.
Guaranteed obligations
In contingent liabilities, guaranteed obligations for Mitsubishi Corporation Chemical (JPY869mn at end FY03/15) are
listed, to lower the risk of customers defaulting.

investment for production capacity increases, capital investment has annual demand for renewal of about JPY1.0bn.
Operating cash flow continues to exceed investment cash flow, underpinning debt repayment. FY03/14 was
cash-positive, and this trend has continued.

About paints
Characteristics of paint industry
These include:
▶
▶
▶
Broad user base;
Specialized safety and environmental awareness;
Low barriers to entry, so small companies can enter the market—leading to many manufacturers.
However, in the company’s mainstay marine paints sector or heavy anti-corrosion sector, development and manufacture
for specialized uses and a global supply network (marine paints) is essential. Regulatory approval needs to be acquired for
each country and customers like strong track records. As such, new entrants struggle.
Paint products in these sectors are “products” and “half products”. For coatings to work, correct application is key and so
CMP conducts application training onsite.
Composition of paints
Paints contain resins, pigments, additives, and solvents. Resins are a key ingredient for coatings, and determine the
properties of the coating. Pigments add color, and can act as a determinant in coating thickness, or as a protective layer.
Additives improve coating functionality. Solvents adjust the density of resins. Solvents evaporate, so are not part of
coatings.
Composition of coatings
Coatings are separated into lower, middle, and upper layers. Development is ongoing to formulate a single coating that
incorporates the features of each layer. Lower layer coatings protect the underlying material. Middle layer coatings aid in
the function of the finished product and bond the lower and upper layers. The upper layer coatings have either cosmetic
or functional roles, like anti-fouling.
