ＮＥＣ、国内外１万人規模削減へ 通期１千億円純損失に
 |
ＮＥＣは２６日、国内外の計１万人を削減する合理化計画を発表した。携帯電話事業の不振やタイの洪水、欧州危機による景気の落ち込みで業績回復が見込め ないとして、人件費を減らして収益改善をめざす。２０１２年３月期連結決算の純損益見通しは１千億円の赤字に下方修正した。
１０月時点では１５０億円の黒字を予想していた。ＮＥＣは１１年３月期も純損益が１２５億円の赤字で、２年連続の赤字となる。リストラ費用に約４００億 円を計上したほか、収益予想が悪化して将来戻ってくると予想していた「繰り延べ税金資産」が７４０億円目減りしたことが響いた。
削減する１万人のうち、正社員は半分の５千人で、グループ全体の正社員１１万３千人（１１年末時点）のうち約４％にあたる。残る５千人はおもに外部委託 が対象。国内が７千人（うち正社員約２千人）、海外が３千人（正社員）にのぼる。９月までに早期退職を募るなどして年４００億円分のコストを減らす考え だ。
Japan's NEC to slash 10,000 jobs
TOKYO |
(Reuters) - NEC Corp said Thursday it will slash 10,000 jobs, almost one in 10 of its workers, in a bid to cut costs as competition from foreign rivals including Apple Inc pushes it deep into the red.
NEC blamed its poor performance on weak demand for its smartphones amid the popularity of Apple's iPhone in Japan, as well as on inroads by foreign rivals into the domestic IT infrastructure business and difficulty in expanding overseas.
It warned it would post a net loss of 100 billion yen ($1.3 billion) for the year to March 31, much bigger than its previous forecast of a 15 billion yen profit and a similar average estimate from eight analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
For the three months ended December 31 it booked a net loss of 87 billion yen.
It also slashed its projection for annual mobile phone sales by nearly a quarter to 5 million phones and most of the job cuts will be in its mobile phone business.
Headcount will be reduced by the end of September and around 7,000 layoffs will be in Japan, Nobuhiro Endo said at a news conference in Tokyo.
Endo said NEC will miss a target to raise overall sales to 4 trillion yen next business year but would still try to reach a goal of boosting its operating profit margin to 5 percent.
The restructuring would result in a charge of 40 billion yen this financial year but would add 40 billion yen to income in the next financial year, Endo added.
Shares of NEC finished unchanged from Wednesday's close at 168 yen. In the past 52 weeks, its shares have plummeted 32 percent. The company announced its results and restructuring plan after the market closed.
