Our Group marked a major milestone in August 2025, celebrating the 150th anniversary of its founding. In fiscal 2025, the final year of our Medium-Term Business Plan 2025, which represents the culmination of efforts toward realizing our long-term vision, “FURUKAWA Power & Passion 150,” we achieved increases in both revenue and profit. Net sales reached ¥211.0 billion, operating income totaled ¥11.2 billion, and profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to ¥12.7 billion.

However, we fell short of the consolidated operating income target of ¥13.0 billion set forth in the Medium-Term Business Plan 2025, and recognize that challenges remain in certain areas of our initiatives.

With respect to the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2026, we plan to pay ¥50 per share after comprehensively considering our dividend policy and recent business performance. Combined with the interim dividend paid in December 2025, the annual dividend will amount to ¥80 per share, representing an increase of ¥10 from the previous fiscal year. As part of management initiatives that emphasize capital efficiency and share price, we also conducted a share repurchase program totaling approximately ¥10 billion between February 2025 and February 2026.

In addition, with a view to achieving non-continuous growth in the future, we are actively pursuing alliances and M&A from a medium- to long-term perspective. To further strengthen collaboration with Mitsui Miike Machinery Co., Ltd., an equity-method affiliate, we acquired additional shares in the company. Furthermore, in April 2026, we acquired 60% of the issued shares of EarthTechnica Co., Ltd., making it a consolidated subsidiary.

We position sustainability as one of our highest management priorities and are committed to promoting highly transparent and reliable disclosure. Going forward, we will continue to address increasingly complex social issues through our business activities, placing emphasis on effectiveness and tangible outcomes.

In recent years, the business environment surrounding companies has undergone significant structural changes, and achieving sustainable growth requires new ideas and strategies that go beyond conventional approaches. In light of these changes, our Group has established the Furukawa Company Group Management Philosophy and newly formulated “Vision F 2035,” a long-term vision aimed at realizing this philosophy.

Looking ahead, while sincerely listening to the opinions and feedback of all our stakeholders, each and every officer and employee will demonstrate the creative problem-solving capabilities that have supported social infrastructure since our founding. Together, we will strive with full commitment to realize a safe, comfortable, and environmentally harmonious society. We look forward to your continued support as we take on new challenges ahead.
