The State of Corporate Japan...in Numbers - Operating and Value Performance

2016-01-15

With corporate governance and return on capital firmly in the spotlight, now is the time for companies to look long and hard at how they are managing their capital base.

This study examines the recent operating, value and capital market performance of the non-financial constituents of the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 and is targeted at senior executives tasked with dealing with critical business issues. Throughout this study, we have focused on return on capital, the drivers of such return (operating margin and capital efficiency) and the impact of different levels of return on value creation and capital market performance.

The analysis included herein, while primarily undertaken at the market or sector level, is punctuated by key questions that senior executives may wish to consider in relation to their own individual organizations.
