Sharp, which is about to usher in the "100-year-old life", has recently reported negative news: plans to sell air-conditioners, photocopier business and Japanese headquarters building, layoffs of 5,000 people, and investigations by the Osaka Taxation Bureau of Japan due to suspected tax evasion of $20 million.
The reporter failed to confirm the above information from Sharp (China) Investment Co., Ltd. due to the “Summer Vacation†holiday of Sharp employees. But the rumors are not groundless. After the huge loss in fiscal 2012, the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (April to June this year), Sharp's loss reached 94 billion yen, exceeding expectations, and is expected to lose 250 billion yen in fiscal 2013. This made the Hon Hai’s acquisition of Sharp’s stock signed in March this year delayed. According to foreign media reports, Hon Hai asked to increase the proportion of investment from the original 9.9% to about 20%. Although Sharp does not want Hon Hai to increase the proportion of capital contribution, the conditions for banks to support financing are to promote Hon Hai's shareholding as soon as possible.
Hon Hai asked Sharp to reduce the price of 550 yen per share at the time of signing the contract to nearly 200 yen per share. If the original capital of 66 billion yen is invested, the proportion of shares acquired by Hon Hai will increase, and there will be a possibility that Hon Hai will request the dispatch of directors. Earlier, Hon Hai promised to hold 9.9% of the shares and did not send a director to Sharp.
In order to stabilize Hon Hai as a partner, Sharp is considering transferring color TV assembly plants and LCD module factories outside of Japan to Hon Hai. Obviously, Sharp is facing a dilemma on the road of introducing Hon Hai.
The decline in performance and the delay in the shareholding of Hon Hai have made Sharp very eager for funds. According to foreign media reports, Sharp is considering selling copiers and air-conditioning business to get the plan proposed by the bank's additional financing as soon as possible. In addition, Sharp plans to lay off 5,000 people, sell Japan's headquarters building, and scale the solar cell factory.
Known as the "father of LCD", Sharp has the only LCD tenth generation line in the world. However, following the huge loss in fiscal 2012, the first quarter of fiscal 2013 still failed to reverse the loss. Luo Qingqi, a senior director of Paler Consulting, pointed out that the internal and external factors have made it difficult for Sharp to turn over. “Sharp continues to lose money because of higher costs, poor sales, and insufficient cash inflows.â€
From the inside, Sharp used to adopt a relatively closed strategy based on its technical advantages, and there is not much supply outside the panel. When the LCD panel entered the era of overcapacity, due to the lack of “seaportâ€, the capacity utilization rate of the Sharp 10th generation line has not been able to come up. The huge investment of the 10th generation line has become the “hardest hit†of Sharp’s losses. Sharp is promoting 80-inch LCD TVs this year, but sales of large-size LCD TVs are limited.
Sharp and Hon Hai cooperated to expand the “seaport†through Hon Hai’s huge OEM system and enhance Sharp’s cost competitiveness. However, Luo Qingqi believes that the integration of the two sides will take some time, and the cooperation between the two will not change the unfavorable external factors such as the appreciation of the yen. If the Sharp 10th generation line moves to China, the cost will decrease, but Sharp is hard to make such a decision because of concerns about the loss of core technology.
