First, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our shareholders and investors, for your continued support.
This is to inform you of the Business Report for the Company’s 47th consolidated fiscal year (the period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025). On this occasion, we would like to say a few words.
During this period, although there were phases where the economy was supported by the gradual decline in inflationary pressure and the subsequent move toward monetary easing in major countries, the uncertainty of the economy increased due to prolonged geopolitical risks and the effects of U.S. trade and tariff policies. Overall, the situation remained unclear.
On the other hand, we implemented strategic measures aimed at expanding our business scale, and business activities progressed favorably.
In particular, on the sales front, as the demand for our products remained robust against the backdrop of strong demand for plastic containers, both orders received and sales for this fiscal year reached record highs, and operating macro profit also significantly exceeded that of the previous period. As a result, we have decided to increase the dividend for the current period by 50 yen per share from the previous period to 200 yen, and have been making payments since December 1. We would like to express our gratitude once again for the support and cooperation of our shareholders.
Going forward, the demand for our products based on the living necessities is prospected to show steady growth, and we will strive to further expand our business scale with our outstanding technology and sales strategy.
We also recognize that responding to social issues such as climate change is an important responsibility for us. We will continue to promote environmental initiatives throughout our value chain, and aim to realize a sustainable society through our products, which have strengths in environment-conscious technologies.
We hope our shareholders and investors will look forward to our Company’s further growth, and we would greatly appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
