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.\n\n### Shareholder Returns and Outlook\nDividends 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.","jir_financial_highlights":"Consolidated Revenue: 29,164 (Year-over-Year +5,901 million yen)\nConsolidated Operating Profit\/Loss: -343 (Year-over-Year -903 million yen)\nConsolidated Ordinary Profit\/Loss: -139 (Year-over-Year -792 million yen)\nInterim Net Profit\/Loss Attributable to Owners of Parent: -121 (Year-over-Year -563 million yen)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ChubuSteelPlate, #ShareBuyback, #CapitalPolicy, #Earnings","jir_key_figures":"Revenue: 29,164 million yen (Year-over-Year +5,901 million yen)\nOperating Profit\/Loss: -343 million yen\nOrdinary Profit\/Loss: -139 million yen\nInterim Net Profit\/Loss: -121 million yen\nNet Income per Share: 11.30 yen","jir_meta_title":"Chubu Steel Plate Co., Ltd.
