Tosoh Corporation - Revised the full-year fiscal 2022 consolidated financial results

Reasons for the differences and revisions

Net sales, operating income, and all other profit indicators are expected to surpass the previously issued forecast. This is primarily because rising overseas market prices for the company's principal chlor-alkali products will more than offset rising prices for raw materials and fuels, such as naphtha and coal.

Note: Forecasts are based on information available to the company as of the date of this news release. Actual results may differ because of unforeseeable factors.

Reasons for the differences and revisions

Tosoh regards the return of profits to its shareholders as one of its most important capital policies. It is a basic company policy, therefore, to provide its shareholders with continuous and stable dividends.

Pursuant to this basic policy and after comprehensively considering trends in its business performance and its dividend payout ratio and other factors, the company intends to increase its March 31 fiscal 2022 year-end dividend JPY20 over the JPY30 it initially forecast, to JPY50 per share. Tosoh Corporation thus plans to pay an annual dividend of JPY80 per share to its shareholders.
