The earnings call highlighted strong performance in several segments like High Performance Plastics and UIEP, with record highs in net profit and dividends. However, significant challenges were noted in the Housing and Medical segments, alongside delayed market recovery impacting overall growth expectations.

Company Guidance

In the Q3 2024 earnings call, Futoshi Kamiwaki provided comprehensive guidance, highlighting several key financial metrics. The company reported net sales of JPY 312.6 billion, an operating profit of JPY 24.7 billion, and a net profit of JPY 14 billion, with all levels exceeding initial plans. The High Performance Plastics Company witnessed a notable increase in sales and profits, slightly surpassing forecasts, while the Housing Company saw sales and operating profit exceed expectations. However, the Medical business underperformed due to sluggish sales in Japan and the U.S. Looking ahead, the company expects global automobile production and smartphone shipments to exceed previous forecasts, although new housing starts remain below expectations. For the full fiscal year, total sales and profits are projected to rise, with record-high profits anticipated in the HPP and UIEP segments. The year-end dividend is expected to be JPY 36 per share, totaling JPY 71 for the year, an increase of JPY 12. Additionally, EBITDA is forecasted to reach a record JPY 148 billion, with ROIC and ROE at 7.6% and 10%, respectively.

UIEP Business Achievements

In the UIEP segment, despite sluggish market conditions, net sales and profits increased as planned, due to maintaining spreads and controlling fixed costs.

Dividend Increase

Year-end dividends are expected to be JPY 36 per share, leading to a total of JPY 71 per share for the year, an increase of JPY 12.
