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 66th fiscal year (from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) of the Shin-Etsu Polymer Group.

 

 

During the consolidated fiscal year under review, net sales totaled 115,116 million yen (up 4.19% year on year), operating profit was 14,040 million yen (up 5.8%), ordinary profit came to 14,008 million yen (up 6.0%) and profit attributable to owners of parent came to 9,899 million yen (up 5.0%). The Company will pay year-end dividends of 32 yen per share, bringing total annual dividends, including interim dividends, to 62 yen per share, a 10 yen increase from the previous fiscal year. This is the eighth consecutive year that dividends have increased.

 

The Shin-Etsu Polymer Group addresses the business strategy and financial- and non-financial strategies set forth in the Shin-Etsu Polymer Global & Growth 2029 medium-term management plan, which was revised last year, and will steadily implement them for achieving our targets. In growth areas, we aim to capture growing new demand for AI-related products, specifically semiconductor-related containers and automotive products. In base areas, we will focus on strengthening our sales capabilities, primarily for our proprietary products, and enhancing productivity. We will appropriately address rapidly changing international circumstances by swiftly gathering and analyzing information. We will utilize these initiatives to enhance our performance to meet our shareholders’ expectations. We strive to improve corporate value.

 

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

 

June 2026
