Dear Shareholders,

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our shareholders for your continued support.

While the Japanese economy is showing signs of recovery as economic activity normalises following the easing of restrictions on new coronavirus infections, the outlook remains difficult to predict due to rising prices of raw materials and fuels, exchange rate volatility, as well as ongoing geopolitical risks in overseas economies from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In the Company's flagship Titanium business, in addition to a gradual recovery in demand for aerospace and replacement demand for Russian titanium, demand for general industrial applications also began to increase gradually. In the Company's High-Performance Materials business, demand for high-purity titanium and spherical titanium alloy powder (alloy TILOP) also increased. As a result, sales increased in both the Titanium and High-Performance Materials businesses for the Company. Furthermore, improved earnings due to better product prices and cost reduction efforts have also helped the business to turn around and become profitable for the first time in three years since the financial year ending March, 2020.

In this business environment, in order to steadily return to the growth strategy envisioned by the Company and build a strong corporate foundation for sustainable development, the Company will further strengthen its profitability in the Titanium business by maximising production capacity utilisation, continuing efforts to improve product prices and by improving the production technology.

In the High-Performance Materials, the Company will accelerate the growth of high-purity titanium, strengthen the growth and profitability of alloy TILOP for its full-scale commercialisation and promote the early development of silicon monoxide (SiO) anode materials. The Company will also work to develop new businesses that use the Company's specialised technologies to transform its business portfolio.

In addition, the Company will further enhance its corporate value by promoting various activities to reduce its environmental impact, such as its recent carbon-neutral response, and by actively promoting the use of IT technology.

Based on current performance, the year-end dividend will be JPY 25 per share, which, together with the interim dividend of JPY 10 per share, will result in an annual dividend of JPY 35 per share.

The Company will continue to make every effort to maintain and improve its performance and would like to thank you shareholders for your continued support and encouragement.
