(2) Reasons for the revision
Net sales hovers around the level of the previous forecast. However, operating income is expected to slightly increase. Ordinary income is also expected to increase by about 4.5 billion yen due to an increase in foreign exchange gain and a slight increase in equity in earnings of affiliates. In addition, an extraordinary loss of about 8.5 billion yen, which was once expected to incur in the year ending on December 31, 2021 as a cost of business structure improvement in the Showa Denko Materials segment, is now expected to incur in 2022. As a result, net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to increase by about 13 billion yen from that in the previous forecast.
With regard to the dividend, we maintain our expectation that the Company will pay 65 yen per share as year-end dividend.
