Measures to achieve an ROE of 8% or more
Aiming to achieve an ROE of 8% or more by increasing profits (R) and lowering equity capital (E).
Increase in R: Operating income
(FY2023–FY2027)
Aim for operating income of 65 billion yen
by optimizing business portfolio
Decrease in E: Equity capital
(FY2023–FY2027)
Aim to reduce equity capital to 600 billion yen
by enhancing shareholder returns
- The dividends for FY2026 and FY2027 are assumptions based on the planned level for FY2025, and the dividend plans for the years will be determined based on actual earnings.
- We plan to repurchase a total of 60 billion yen worth of shares during the period of the current mid-term management plan. While the repurchase amount for the FY2026-2027 period is expected to be around 40 billion yen, it will be finally determined based on the shareholder return policy of the next mid-term management plan.
Growth strategy
Optimizing business portfolio
- Allocate more resources to growth areas of the engineering/filling/logistics, steel plate related, and functional materials related businesses.
- Seek appropriate cost pass-through and streamline and restructure unprofitable operations mainly in the domestic packaging business.

Capital & financial strategy
Improving asset efficiency
- Substantially increase returns to shareholders through dividend payment and share buybacks, which we have gradually enhanced.
- Further reduce “strategic shareholdings” (incl. cross-shareholdings).
- Reduce assets in unprofitable operations and streamline real estate management (disposal and adding value).
- The table can be scrolled left or right.
- We plan to repurchase a total of 60 billion yen worth of shares during the period of the current mid-term management plan. While the repurchase amount for the FY2026-2027 period is expected to be around 40 billion yen, it will be finally determined based on the shareholder return policy of the next mid-term management plan.
Cash allocation (FY2023 - FY2027)
Seeking business growth and higher returns on capital, we will strategically allocate funds obtained from operating cash flows and through asset disposal and fundraising to investment activities and shareholder returns.

- The sales targets for FY2025 and FY2030 have remained unchanged since the current sales growth reflects the impact of currency fluctuations and efforts to pass on higher energy costs to customers, among other factors.
- The dividends for FY2026 and FY2027 are assumptions based on the planned level for FY2025, and the dividend plans for the years will be determined based on actual earnings.
