Summary

<21H1 Result>

  • All of sales, core OP, and profit increased, exceeding our projection (announced in May 2021) and recording high growth rate YoY.

This time, full-year projection for FY21 was revised upward with sales of 346.5 billion yen (+28.5 billion to projection in May) and core OP of 52.5 billion yen (+9.5 billion yen). Core OP of the projection includes 6 billion yen of valuation profit from the Inpria acquisition expected in H2.

  • Both sales and profits increased significantly YoY due to favorable demand conditions. We secured a high margin.
  • SEMI achieved sales growth of +13% YoY. In addition to existing products, EUV photoresist marked more than double sales growth from the previous year.

In the revised full-year projection, the sales of SEMI is expected to grow +15% YoY. Core OP is also expected to increase significantly even without the valuation profit of Inpria . The overall projection of Digital Solutions is revised upward regardless of a downward revision of the Edge Computing business.

Sales for H1 achieved +29% YoY growth. In addition to CDMO and CRO, Bioprocess materials and IVD expanded sales. Core OP increased +20% YoY though CDMO was impacted from advanced investments and adjustment in manufacturing capacity utilization due to materials supply shortage, etc.

Revised full-year projection expects that each sub-segment continues to grow and that CDMO's manufacturing operation is expected to improve to the normal level from October. OP margin ratio of H2 is expected to be 2 digits with continuous sales expansions. The process of capacity expansion for CDMO is in progress and planned to start the engineering run from the end of Q3 in this fiscal year.

  • We announced a business transfer agreement for Elastomers business on May 11, 2021. Elastomers business is classified as a discontinued business from FY21. The process of transferring the business is in progress toward the closing.

We announced the acquisition of Inpria, the U.S. manufacturer of metal-based photoresists for EUV lithography in September 2021 and completed the acquisition process in October. Acquisition price of additional shares was 46.7billion yen.

  • Annual dividend for FY21 ending March, 2022 will be increased from 60 yen to70 yen. (35 yen for each interim dividend and term-end dividend)
