Summary of Financial Results for FY2023

Business Environment

  • Geopolitical risks heightened such as with the war in Ukraine and the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.
  • Europe and North America continued to implement high interest rate policies to curb inflation.
  • The recovery in the Chinese economy was slow. There was an influx into the Southeast Asian market of cheap general-purpose chemicals produced in China .
  • The rise in raw material and fuel prices pushed up general consumer goods prices in Japan. The pace of wage raises also accelerated.

Financial Results for FY2023

  • We continued to revise prices to secure profits in response to the sharp rise in raw material and fuel prices.
  • Acrylic ester overseas market conditions and semiconductor market conditions were sluggish. That meant the shipment volume of products decreased.
  • The sales volume of adhesives for automotive batteries increased significantly. Earnings from instant glues for consumers improved.
  • Sales decreased. Operating income decreased. Including gains on sales of investment securities, net income was 12.1 billion yen (down 0.3 billion yen).
  • We took measures to raise PBR to over 1x.
    • Total shareholder returns of 100% during the period of the Medium-term Management Plan
    • Strengthening of profitability (2027: operating income of 24 billion yen, ROE of 8% or more, strengthened R&D capabilities and overseas expansion)
  • We bought back approximately 4.7 million shares of treasury stock (3.9% of the number of outstanding shares as of the end of 2022; approximately 6.0 billion yen). We canceled approximately 5 million shares.
  • We increased our year-end dividend to 33 yen.
  • We increased an annual dividend by 17 yen to 53 yen (payout ratio: 51.6%).

Total shareholder returns were 100.5%.
