Read a large amount of securities reports using COTOHA

Introduction

I don't know what is written in the securities report, and even if I read the contents of a specific year of one company I want to know, I can not understand it unless I compare it with other companies / other years: frowning2: So I'm going to find out how to use ** COTOHA to read a large amount of securities reports **: wink:

* For basic usage of COTOHA, see @ gossy5454's Article </ font>

Motivation to write this article

――I want to easily perform natural language processing using COTOHA --Not well known? I want to use CoARiJ ――I want to read securities reports efficiently and utilize them for investment.

About COTOHA

NTT Group's natural language processing platform https://api.ce-cotoha.com/contents/index.html

API that looks interesting

- ** Similarity judgment ** </ font> ――It seems that you can compare it with past reports - ** Summary (β) ** </ font> ――I'm wondering what happens when a report that has already been written concisely is summarized. - ** Named entity recognition ** </ font> ――It seems that you can roughly understand what kind of topics are in the report. - ** Sentiment analysis ** </ font> ――It seems that you can see the discrepancy that the expression is negative even though the profit is increasing.

* (β) is a beta function </ font>

Problems with CoARiJ

There are three main problems.

  1. The data may be missing and ** a company that was in one year disappeared in another **.

  2. Since 2017, 2. Business status items have changed and ** files may be empty ** * This is an EDINET issue rather than CoARiJ => Reference < / font>

  3. ** Total sales and operating income figures that should be in data / interim / \ <year > /documents.csv may be missing ** * As confirmed by TOPIX Core 30, 10 out of 30 companies have data from 2014 to 2018. Was missing </ font>

This time I would like to deal with existing data only </ font> without worrying about it: relaxed:

Analyzing the [Business Status] of the securities report using COTOHA

The securities report has various items, but how do you read it?

In my case ** 1. [Overview of the company] ** Read the changes in total sales, operating income, ordinary income, and capital adequacy ratio. ** 2. Read [Business Status] ** carefully ** 3. Read afterwards **

Is taking the style So this time, I will pay attention to ** 1. [Company overview] ** and ** 2. [Business status] ** </ font>.

In CoARiJ ** 1. [Company overview] ** is because it is organized in a .csv file, ** 2. [Business status] * * .Txt file will be input to COTOHA

* Since the .csv file contains individual results, the holding company (Holdings) may have an unusually high profit margin (80% or more for Konami and NTT). There is </ font>

Items that are likely to change every year

-[Management policy, business environment and issues to be addressed] - business_policy_environment_issue_etc.txt -[Risks of business, etc.] - business_risks.txt

This item often does not change significantly, so ** similarity judgment </ font> ** to check if it is different from the previous year, and if it is different * * Use Summary (β) </ font> ** to shorten sentences

I wanted to handle the text as it is if possible, but when I request text that exceeds ** 3000 characters (too long url?), I sometimes get 500 (Internal Server Error) **, so I split the text.

main.py


...
def GetDividedSubstring(text: str, max_length: int) -> List[str]:
    if len(text) < max_length:
        return [text]

    index = text.rfind('。', 0, max_length)
    if index < 0:
        index = text.rfind('\n\n', 0, max_length)  # try to find double newlines
    if index < 0:
        if len(text) < max_length:
            return [text]
        else:
            index = max_length

    head = text[: index + 1]
    tail = text[index + 1:]
    result: List[str] = [head]
    for text in GetDividedSubstring(tail, max_length):
        result.append(text)
    return result
...

I compare the similarity between the divided character strings, but the number of divisions may be different, so in that case ** 0 is returned without comparison ** * This string division is also used in the following sentiment analysis, named entity extraction and summary </ font>

Items that change every year

-[Analysis of financial position, operating results and cash flow status](before 2017) - business_analysis_of_finance.txt -[Analysis of financial condition, operating results and cash flow by management](2018 or later) - business_management_analysis.txt -[R & D activities] - business_research_and_development.txt

For ** cash flow **, check if it is positive with ** sentiment analysis </ font> ** and judge it as negative even though operating income or ordinary income is increasing. If so, use the original text, otherwise use ** Summary (β) </ font> ** to shorten the text. As for ** R & D activities **, unfamiliar words are lined up, so I did ** named entity extraction </ font> ** and roughly checked what kind of content was included. Then use ** Summary (β) </ font> **

** Named Entity Extraction </ font> ** has various named entity classes, but ** Unique Name (ART) ** and ** Personal Name (PSN) as shown below. By filtering to ** and ** location (LOC) **, we try not to include numerical values such as amounts that do not make sense even if extracted individually.

* Sentence (1 sentence) and document (multiple sentences) are used without distinction, but it seems that they are separated due to API design. </ Font>

...
    for dict_index in range(len(ne['result'])):
        word_class = ne['result'][dict_index]['class']
        if word_class == 'ART' or word_class == 'PSN' or word_class == 'LOC':
            if word not in words:  # Unique

Business risks

## Summary
If a quality problem occurs, we will make a comprehensive judgment based on its hazard and diffusivity, and take appropriate measures. However, if a large-scale product collection that exceeds expectations occurs, the Group's business performance will be serious. It may have an impact. Therefore, we are working on promotion of work style reform, improvement of working environment, automation of work, labor saving and labor saving. (5) Information system Although the Group has established an appropriate system management system, there is a possibility that business operations may be hindered due to problems in system operation. (7) Fluctuations in crude oil prices In the processed food business, fluctuations in crude oil prices affect the procurement costs of commodities, raw materials, and fuels such as heavy oil. In addition, legal regulations, etc. in the relevant country are applied to the development of overseas business. If the cost burden for responding to environmental law revisions increases significantly in the future, it may have a significant impact on the Group's business performance. (13) Holding of fixed assets The Group owns a large number of distribution centers and production plants that require a large amount of capital investment. Regarding these strategically held stocks, we verify the medium- to long-term economic rationality for each individual stock, and sell the stocks that we judge to be of little significance.

In terms of profits, although cargo handling costs increased, profits increased due to continued promotion of measures such as business improvement and transportation efficiency. Overseas European regions saw a decrease in chicken imports and an increase in transportation and delivery costs due to the Brazilian meat fraud problem, but sales and profits increased due to steady capture of transportation demand such as transportation operations for retail stores and expansion of handling of imported fruit juice. I did. (E) Real estate business << Points of business performance >> In order to strengthen the competitiveness of rental office buildings, we carried out renewal work to maintain and improve the occupancy rate, but the end of residential land sales in Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture and some rental offices Sales and profits declined due to the cost of acquiring earthquake-resistant marks in buildings. (F) Other businesses << Points of business performance >> Of the other businesses, the bioscience business established a new production / R & D base (although sales of biopharmacy raw materials and rapid diagnostics increased steadily, but sales increased.

Non-operating income decreased by 2.8 billion yen from the previous consolidated fiscal year due to an increase in expenses related to suspended facilities. Ordinary income decreased by 17.8 billion yen (11.7%) to 134.5 billion yen. (Textile business) In Japan, demand for industrial applications such as automobiles is generally strong, but clothing applications are affected by unseasonable weather. While cargo movements have been sluggish, in addition to expanding sales in various applications, we have promoted expansion of the cotton / textile / product integrated business and focused on strengthening our business structure. The production scale of major products is ahead of nylon yarn.

Name of segment by business type Production performance (million yen) Increase / decrease compared to the previous consolidated fiscal year (%) Passive parts 430,631 △ 4.4 Sensor application products 81,1501.8 Magnetic application products 268,227 △ 20.7 Energy application products 558,91646.3 Others 60,89711.4 Total 1,399,8217.2 (Note) 1. The amount is calculated based on the selling price. b. Orders received The table below shows the order results for the current consolidated fiscal year by business segment. The Group is reviewing its book value based on past demand and future forecasts, taking into consideration the possibility of excess inventories and obsolescence. Accounting for business combinations The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill and other intangible assets with unspecified useful lives are not amortized and are subject to impairment testing annually or whenever there are signs or changes in fair value below book value. It will be carried out. Management has determined that future cash flow and fair value estimates are reasonable, but future cash flows and fair value estimates are below initial estimates due to unpredictable changes in business performance. In this case, the valuation of the asset may be adversely affected. The Group sets long-term expected rates of return based on long-term expected operating income forecasts for various asset categories to be invested. Decreasing the discount rate can increase pension benefit obligations and increase pension costs by amortizing actuarial gains and losses. Considering the past level of taxable income and the outlook for future taxable income during the period in which deferred tax assets can be deducted, the Group considers that deferred tax assets after deduction of valuation allowances are not expected to be realized.

#### Business risks
## Summary
Matters concerning the future in the text are based on the judgment of the Group as of the date of submission of the securities report (June 27, 1st year of Reiwa). 1. 1. Rapid fluctuations in the world economy and economy (1) Economic conditions The demand for products and services of the Group is strongly influenced by the economic conditions of the countries or regions that provide them. If there are sudden fluctuations that exceed expectations, it may affect the Group's business performance and financial condition, such as deterioration of business performance and opportunity loss. In addition, it is expected that the center of added value will shift from the performance of the car as hardware to the software, such as what kind of experience can be provided to customers, including services related to the car. In addition, the Group may conduct derivative transactions for the purpose of avoiding the risk of exchange rate fluctuations of foreign currency-denominated debts and credits, avoiding the risk of interest rate fluctuations of interest-bearing debt procured at floating interest rates, and avoiding the risk of commodity price fluctuations. However, if an unexpected large-scale change occurs in the market environment, it may hinder the financing as originally planned and may have a negative impact on the Group's business performance and financial condition. .. (5) Risk of sales finance business The sales finance business is one of the important businesses of the Group. If the actual results differ from the assumptions, or if the assumptions are changed, the effects will be cumulative and will be recognized regularly in the future and will generally affect the costs and liabilities recognized in the future period. May be given. However, due to unexpected changes in the environment, changes in world needs, and a decline in relative development competitiveness, there is a possibility that the new technology will not be accepted by customers in the end, and as a result, the Group's business performance will be affected. It can have a big impact. However, the adoption of new technology to offer higher added value, even if it is thoroughly scrutinized, can later raise unexpected quality issues such as product liability and product recalls. is there. In particular, the amount of CO2 emitted when using a car is significantly higher than the amount emitted by corporate activities, accounting for more than 80% of the total, so there is a possibility that there will be risks such as regulations due to climate change (value). Of the 216,351 kton-CO2 CO2 emissions of the entire chain, the emissions of the sold cars when used are 190,261 kton-CO2, both of which were actual results in FY2017). Through such efforts, the "Nissan Green Program 2022" aims to reduce CO2 emissions per new vehicle by 40% in the 4th year of Reiwa. (8) Limitations of intellectual asset protection The Group possesses technologies and know-how that can be differentiated from other companies' products. (9) Securing excellent human resources We consider human resources to be the most important asset, and we hire excellent human resources globally, and at the same time, enhance human resource development and have high fairness and transparency so that we can fully demonstrate our abilities. We are also focusing on the realization of an evaluation system. On the other hand, from 2018 to 2019, the former representative director of the Company was indicted for violating the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (crime of submitting a false securities report), and the former chairman of the board was indicted for violating the Companies Act (special offense of impersonation). ) But was also charged. It is assumed that it is the second and third or later suppliers and sellers who have performed inappropriate acts in light of corporate social responsibility, or those related to products distributed through sales channels other than those envisioned by the Group. Even so, if the Group itself is pursued social responsibility and the content and speed of response are insufficient, it will adversely affect the Group's social credibility and reputation, resulting in a decrease in sales, etc. May affect the performance of. However, if a large-scale earthquake that exceeds expectations causes great damage and the operation must be interrupted, it may have a significant impact on the Group's business performance and financial condition. In the wake of disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Kumamoto Earthquake, the following various risks that were not previously assumed have become apparent. (3) Dependence on a specific supplier In order to procure higher quality and technology at a more competitive price, orders may have to be concentrated on a specific supplier. (4) Risks related to information systems Almost all operations of the Group depend on information systems, and the systems and networks are becoming more complex and sophisticated year by year.
#### Analysis of financial position, operating results and cash flow situation
Summary
(1) Financial status and operating results Global overall demand for the current consolidated fiscal year decreased by 1.5% from the previous year to 92.09 million units. Operating income was 318.2 billion yen, a decrease of 256.6 billion yen (44.6%) from the previous consolidated fiscal year. In addition, as a result of a decrease of 38.3 billion yen due to the conversion difference related to cash and cash equivalents and an increase of 1.1 billion yen due to the change in the scope of consolidation, the balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the current consolidated fiscal year was the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. It increased by 153.1 billion yen (12.7%) to 1,359.1 billion yen. b. Order status Since the Group's build-to-order manufacturing is very small, the description of the order status is omitted. (2) Contents of analysis / examination regarding the status of business performance from the perspective of management The content of analysis / examination regarding the status of business performance of the Group from the perspective of management is as follows, and is based on the consolidated financial statements in principle. It is an analysis. The important accounting policies adopted in the Group's consolidated financial statements are described in "Basic matters for preparing consolidated financial statements" in the fifth [Accounting Status] consolidated financial statements. We believe that important accounting policies will have a significant impact on the judgment of important estimates in the consolidated financial statements. In the future, if a customer's financial condition deteriorates and their solvency declines, additional provisions may be recorded or bad debt losses may occur. It decreased by 256.6 billion yen (44.6%) from the operating income of the previous consolidated fiscal year. In the automobile business, sales (including internal sales between segments) were 10,584.1 billion yen, a decrease of 443.8 billion yen (4.0%) from the previous consolidated fiscal year. The main factors behind the decline in profits were a decrease in unit sales and an increase in development costs, although there was an increase in profits due to a reduction in purchasing costs. Operating income was 72.1 billion yen, a decrease of 128 billion yen (64.0%) from the previous consolidated fiscal year. c. Europe European market overall demand increased 0.3% year-on-year to 20.03 million units, but the Group's sales volume in the European market excluding Russia decreased 17.8% year-on-year to 530,000 units due to the impact of environmental regulations. The number of vehicles was 6,000, and the market share decreased by 0.6 points from the previous year to 3.0%. Sales in the Latin American market were strong, rising 8.1% year-on-year to 225,000 units, and sales in African markets such as South Africa increased 6.1% year-on-year to 101,000 units. Investing activities Expenditures from investing activities were 1,133.5 billion yen, a decrease of 14.2 billion yen from 1,147.7 billion yen in the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in income from the issuance of corporate bonds. The Group's financial policy is to secure appropriate funds, maintain optimal liquidity and maintain a sound balance sheet in order to invest in R & D activities, capital investment and financial business.

in conclusion

Attempts were made to convert a large amount of securities reports into an easy-to-read form by analyzing / summarizing CoARiJ data with COTOHA. As a result, I think that ** "Judgment whether to read the original text of the securities report" </ font> ** can be done. ~~ * It seems that you can judge that the scale of the business is so big that you do not know what is written. </ Font> ~~

Since there is a character limit in the request to be sent to COTOHA, it is necessary to divide the sentence and call the API multiple times, so be careful when handling large amounts of data: sweat_smile: * In this article, 429 (Too Many Requests) was issued and verification did not proceed ... </ font>
