We will steadily implement strategies set in the medium-term management plan and strive to further enhance our corporate value.

　

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support. 

I would like to report the business summary and other details for the 65th fiscal year (from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025) of the Shin-Etsu Polymer Group.

During the consolidated fiscal year under review, net sales totaled 110,582 million yen (up 5.9% year on year), operating profit was 13,271 million yen (up 20.1%), ordinary profit came to 13,218 million yen (up 14.6%) and profit attributable to owners of parent came to 9,430 million yen (up 8.7%).

The Shin-Etsu Polymer Group addresses the business strategy and financial- and non-financial strategies set forth in the Shin-Etsu Polymer Global & Growth 2027 medium-term management plan and will steadily implement them for achieving our targets. We will seek to respond to new demand in the growth areas of semiconductor-related containers and automobile-related products where expansion is anticipated, and in base areas to strengthen our sale capabilities, primarily for our own unique products and to improve productivity, aiming at linking these efforts to higher earnings, meeting the expectations of all shareholders and further enhancing our corporate value.

Regarding the year-end dividend for the fiscal year under review, we have decided to pay dividends of 27 yen per share, comprehensively considering business results, future business development and dividend payout ratios. Accordingly, the total dividend for the fiscal year including the interim dividend will be 52 yen per share, which will be an increase of 6 yen compared to the previous fiscal year and seven consecutive years of dividend increases.

I look forward to the continued support and encouragement of all our shareholders in the future.

 

June 2025
