We aim to realize continuous growth and create corporate value by solving social and environmental issues through our business activities

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our shareholders and investors for their constant consideration and kindness.

Under our three-year medium-term management plan, "TRANSFORMATION for TOMORROW 2027," the Group has set forth where we want to be in 10 years as "Become an excellent company in the field of functional materials." In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the second year of the plan, we also worked on specific and realistic basic strategies: "Secure a competitive advantage through technology initiatives," "Expand overseas business to strengthen business foundation," "Promote ESG-focused management to realize a sustainable society," "Promote HR strategy and DX," and "Implement capital-efficiency-oriented management (ROE of 9% or more, ROA of 5% or more)" to achieve our mission of "Leverage our technological capabilities in niche markets so we can continue contributing to society" and "Work on finding solutions and create new value for a sustainable society."

Furthermore, in order to achieve our medium to long term management goals, we are currently reviewing the business portfolio and considering measures for company-wide business structural reforms, including improving the efficiency of domestic production, sales, and indirect operations, as well as reorganizing our plants.

Although the situation in the Middle East has affected us through the supply chain, such as rising raw material prices, the Group will aim for sustainable growth as a united team by continuing to powerfully drive forward what we can reliably execute --namely, the basic strategies mentioned above. We sincerely hope that you will place your high expectations on us.

We hope that you will look forward to the future of the Group, and we deeply appreciate your continued understanding and support.
