Disclosing Information to Shareholders & Investors

Efforts for Improving Corporate Value

The NICHIAS Group places importance on shareholders’ profit and aims for sustainable improvement of corporate values and profit return. We believe this will contribute to management that takes into account capital costs and stock prices.

We will continuously improve the operating income ratio, ROE, and ROIC through executing the Group challenges such as “increasing profitability” and “business selection and focus,” which are included in the medium-term management plan. NICHIAS’s basic policy on profit return is to maintain DOE of 3.5% or higher and to pay progressive dividends while considering expeditious share buybacks in light of capital efficiency.

Communication with stakeholders

Investor Relations Activities

The NICHIAS Group recognizes the importance of taking opinions from all its shareholders and investors seriously and making effective use of them in its management. Therefore, it has established an IR team to serve as a department in charge of enhancing communication with shareholders and investors from the perspective of fair disclosure.

For example, in addition to holding financial results briefings for analysts and institutional investors, factory study tours, and company briefings for individual investors, the Nichias Group also conducts daily meetings and participates in conferences sponsored by brokerage companies, as well as visiting institutional investors overseas. The opinions acquired from such exchanges with analysts and institutional investors lead to in-house feedback from the people in charge of IR at Management Meetings, etc., and help improve management and business activities. NICHIAS will continue its efforts to strengthen its communication with shareholders and investors both inside and outside Japan, as well as forming a broad spectrum of shareholders.

Financial results briefing

FY2023 IR activities

In order to ensure timely and appropriate communication with analysts and institutional investors, the NICHIAS Group held financial results briefings online upon the announcement of end-of-term and second-quarter-term financial results. These financial results briefings provided good opportunities to explain the management policies and strategies, outline its business operations, and provide financial information. Also, dialogue between executives and investors was held proactively.

In our daily work, we held 139 IR meetings In FY2023, including in-person, online, and via teleconference system. And, as COVID-19 settled, factory and Research Laboratory tours restarted.

NICHIAS will continue to enthusiastically engage in dialogues regarding not only financial information, but such non-financial information as the environment, society, governance, etc.
