Performance Overview
Chubu Steel Plate Co., Ltd. significantly expanded sales in the cumulative second quarter year-over-year; however, it could not fully absorb rising costs such as surging steel scrap prices, and narrowing metal spreads ultimately resulted in an operating loss. In September the company announced a downward revision to its full-year forecast, but in November it announced additional price increases for contracted volumes and is continuing price revisions. By segment, steel-related businesses remain the main contributor, while rental, logistics, and engineering businesses showed steady growth. The company has adopted a stable dividend policy using DOE and is pursuing a capital policy to reduce consolidated shareholders' equity to around 70 billion yen by the end of fiscal 2027.
Shareholder Returns and Outlook
Dividends remain as initially forecast, with a policy target of DOE of 3.5% or higher. Additional returns (such as share buybacks) will be considered depending on performance. Through a review of capital policy, the company aims to reduce consolidated shareholders' equity to approximately 70 billion yen by the end of fiscal 2027, aiming to optimize financial leverage and improve capital efficiency. The recent earnings trend and price revisions may affect next fiscal year's selling price trends and cost movements.
