1. Summary

1.1 Overview of FY2017

In FY 2017, operating income was 33.7 billion yen, and ordinary income was 31.5 billion yen, net income attributable owners of parent was 23.0 billion yen, all of them were record high profit because shipment of chloroprene rubber, electronics & innovative products increased, in addition, sales price revisions corresponding to rising raw material cost and the skip of shutdown maintenance of styrene monomer plant, although R&D expenses increased mainly in the healthcare field.

1.2 The result of FY2017 by segment

Elastomers & Performance Plastics : Earnings were much higher YOY because of price revision of chloroprene rubber and no shutdown maintenance of styrene monomer plant.

The Infrastructure & Social Solutions : However shipment of alumina fiber, underground drainpipes for agriculture and civil engineering were increased, earnings were lower YOY due to rise in the price of row material.

Electronics & Innovative Products : Earnings were higher YOY because shipment of electronic packing materials, fused silica filler for semiconductor sealants and spherical alumina were increased in addition to increased shipment of high conductive acetylene black "Denka Black" for Lithium-ion battery and High-voltage transmission cable.

Living & Environmental Products : Although sales price revisions corresponding to rising raw material cost of food packing, earning were lower YOY due to intensified price competition of PVDF based alloyed film "DX film" for photovoltaic modules backsheet.

Life Innovation : However sales volume of reagent increased, earnings were lower YOY because production and sales of influenza vaccines declined YOY owing to the delay in the selection of vaccine production strains, and R&D expenses increased.

Note; On 1st April 2018 Denka has shifted its segment of "Denka Black" from Elastomers & Performance Plastics to Electronics & Innovative Products and the products belongs to the segment in this summary.

1.3 Forecast of FY2018

We estimate our operating income of this year 36.0 billion yen, ordinaly income of 34.0 billion yen and net profit attributable to oweners of parent of 25.0 billion yen, they are highest for the second consecutive year.

We expect that growing demand for Electronics & Innovative Products and sales price revision of chloroprene rubber and styrene derivatives will contribute to increase in profit although there are negative impacts such as hike of raw material prices, yen appreciation, shutdown maintenance of styrene monomer plant and growing burden of R&D expenses and labor cost .
