Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 9.9% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (9.9% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (237% cash payout ratio).Reported Earnings • Feb 13Full year 2024 earnings: EPS exceeds analyst expectations while revenues lag behindFull year 2024 results: EPS: JP¥225 (up from JP¥421 loss in FY 2023).

This new offering achieves excellent antifoaming properties, thermal stability and durability (shear stability), all of which had previously been difficult with PFAS-free products. Going forward, the Company will seek to broaden its product lineup and will promote the expansion of sales to manufacturers of lubricating oils for EVs in Japan, the United States and Europe. DIC has set a goal for annual sales of these products of ¥2.0 billion by fiscal year 2030. Concerns regarding latent environmental risks associated with PFASs have prompted debate, particularly in Europe and the United States, over the need to further regulate these substances. In a proactive response to the rising global need for sustainable alternatives to fluorosurfactants, DIC began developing a PFAS-free surfactant. In August 2023, the Company announced the development of the MEGAFACE® EFS series of PFAS-free surfactants that deliver a performance rivaling that of fluorosurfactants despite not containing PFASs. MEGAFACE® EFS surfactants are currently sold as viable alternatives to conventional products for diverse applications, including displays, semiconductors, EVs and coatings. For the second product in the MEGAFACE® EFS series, DIC turned its attention to a PFAS-free antifoaming agent for use in lubricating oils for EVs. The combination of environment-friendly raw materials and DIC’S unique molecular design technologies facilitated the development of a PFAS-free antifoaming agent that achieves antifoaming properties, thermal stability and durability (shear stability) equivalent to or better than antifoaming agents containing PFASs. Such conventional antifoaming agents are added to lubricating oils in small amounts to lower surface tension and rupture foam lamellas, with applications ranging from lubricating oils for metal processing to automotive and industrial gear oils. However, developing silicone-based alternatives with a performance comparable to that of antifoaming agents containing PFASs has proven particularly challenging. In contrast, DIC’s new product features superior antifoaming properties in high temperature ranges, which is difficult with ordinary silicone-based PFAS-free agents, as well as superb durability when exposed to heat and mechanical stress (shear) as a lubricating oil ingredient. In the DIC Vision 2030 long-term management plan, DIC sets forth a basic strategy of expanding its operations with a core focus on sustainable products. The Company will continue to augment its selection of PFAS-free products that help address social imperatives, thereby helping promote the sustainability of industry and the reduction of environmental risks.お知らせ • Dec 27DIC Corporation to Report Fiscal Year 2023 Results on Feb 13, 2024DIC Corporation announced that they will report fiscal year 2023 results on Feb 13, 2024Upcoming Dividend • Dec 21Upcoming dividend of JP¥30.00 per share at 2.3% yieldEligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 28 December 2023.

One-off items were 21% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (1.4% operating cash flow to total debt). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 137% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

EFS series of environment-friendly surfactants that deliver a performance rivaling that of conventional fluorosurfactants despite not containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). These new products are suitable alternatives to fluorosurfactants for diverse applications, including displays, semiconductors, automobiles and coatings. The Company will promote the series in Japan, other East Asian markets, Europe and the United States, among others, targeting industries ranging from electronic materials to electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries, and aims to achieve annual sales of Y=5 billion by fiscal year 2030. Fluorosurfactants, added in small amounts, lower the surface tension of liquids, improving emulsification and surface activity. They thus play a key role in detergents, coatings and industrial products, among others. However, concerns regarding latent environmental risks associated with PFASs have prompted debate over regulating these substances, particularly in Europe and the United States. This has driven up demand for the development of PFAS-free alternatives to fluorosurfactant. DIC embarked on the development of a PFAS-free surfactant in a proactive response to rising global needs for sustainable alternatives to fluorosurfactANT. Leveraging its proprietary technologies and environment-friendly raw materials, the Company succeeded in creating the MEGAFACE™, EFS series of products boasting surface activity equal to or better than that of conventional fluorosurfactants. While realizing PFAS-free surfactants that rival fluorosurfactants on the performance front has been seen as a difficult challenge, DIC has achieved this goal with the MEGAFACE™ EFS series of products with an ability to reduce surface tension as good or greater than that of fluorosurfactants, thereby ensuring excellent coating uniformity (leveling behavior). Customers who usually use fluorosurfactants have rated the new series highly. Going forward, DIC will seek to build a market-leading position by offering these products globally as an alternative that contribute to the sustainability of industrial activity and the reduction of environmental risks. In the DIC Vision 2030 long-term management plan, DIC sets forth a basic strategy of expanding its Functional Products business with a focus on sustainable products. The DIC Group will continue to leverage its extensive expertise and technical capabilities in synthetic resins to accelerate product development and sales and contribute to solving social issues.お知らせ • Jun 22DIC Corporation to Report Q2, 2023 Results on Aug 09, 2023DIC Corporation announced that they will report Q2, 2023 results on Aug 09, 2023Upcoming Dividend • Jun 22Upcoming dividend of JP¥50.00 per share at 3.8% yieldEligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 29 June 2023.

New Risk • Feb 14New major risk - Financial positionThe company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 9.9% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (9.9% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (237% cash payout ratio).

お知らせ • Feb 07DIC Develops Antifoaming Agent for Use in Lubricating Oils for EVsDIC Corporation announced that it has developed an antifoaming agent for use in lubricating oils for electric vehicles (EVs) that contains no perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFASs) and boasts exceptional performance features. This new offering achieves excellent antifoaming properties, thermal stability and durability (shear stability), all of which had previously been difficult with PFAS-free products. Going forward, the Company will seek to broaden its product lineup and will promote the expansion of sales to manufacturers of lubricating oils for EVs in Japan, the United States and Europe. DIC has set a goal for annual sales of these products of ¥2.0 billion by fiscal year 2030. Concerns regarding latent environmental risks associated with PFASs have prompted debate, particularly in Europe and the United States, over the need to further regulate these substances. In a proactive response to the rising global need for sustainable alternatives to fluorosurfactants, DIC began developing a PFAS-free surfactant. In August 2023, the Company announced the development of the MEGAFACE® EFS series of PFAS-free surfactants that deliver a performance rivaling that of fluorosurfactants despite not containing PFASs. MEGAFACE® EFS surfactants are currently sold as viable alternatives to conventional products for diverse applications, including displays, semiconductors, EVs and coatings. For the second product in the MEGAFACE® EFS series, DIC turned its attention to a PFAS-free antifoaming agent for use in lubricating oils for EVs. The combination of environment-friendly raw materials and DIC’S unique molecular design technologies facilitated the development of a PFAS-free antifoaming agent that achieves antifoaming properties, thermal stability and durability (shear stability) equivalent to or better than antifoaming agents containing PFASs. Such conventional antifoaming agents are added to lubricating oils in small amounts to lower surface tension and rupture foam lamellas, with applications ranging from lubricating oils for metal processing to automotive and industrial gear oils. However, developing silicone-based alternatives with a performance comparable to that of antifoaming agents containing PFASs has proven particularly challenging.

New Risk • Aug 11New minor risk - Earnings qualityThe company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 21% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (1.4% operating cash flow to total debt). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 137% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results.

お知らせ • Aug 04DIC Corporation Develops the MEGAFACE™ EFS Series of Environment-Friendly High-Performance PFAS-Free SurfactantsDIC Corporation announced the development of the MEGAFACE™? EFS series of environment-friendly surfactants that deliver a performance rivaling that of conventional fluorosurfactants despite not containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). These new products are suitable alternatives to fluorosurfactants for diverse applications, including displays, semiconductors, automobiles and coatings. The Company will promote the series in Japan, other East Asian markets, Europe and the United States, among others, targeting industries ranging from electronic materials to electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries, and aims to achieve annual sales of Y=5 billion by fiscal year 2030. Fluorosurfactants, added in small amounts, lower the surface tension of liquids, improving emulsification and surface activity. They thus play a key role in detergents, coatings and industrial products, among others. However, concerns regarding latent environmental risks associated with PFASs have prompted debate over regulating these substances, particularly in Europe and the United States. This has driven up demand for the development of PFAS-free alternatives to fluorosurfactant. DIC embarked on the development of a PFAS-free surfactant in a proactive response to rising global needs for sustainable alternatives to fluorosurfactANT. Leveraging its proprietary technologies and environment-friendly raw materials, the Company succeeded in creating the MEGAFACE™, EFS series of products boasting surface activity equal to or better than that of conventional fluorosurfactants. While realizing PFAS-free surfactants that rival fluorosurfactants on the performance front has been seen as a difficult challenge, DIC has achieved this goal with the MEGAFACE™ EFS series of products with an ability to reduce surface tension as good or greater than that of fluorosurfactants, thereby ensuring excellent coating uniformity (leveling behavior). Customers who usually use fluorosurfactants have rated the new series highly. Going forward, DIC will seek to build a market-leading position by offering these products globally as an alternative that contribute to the sustainability of industrial activity and the reduction of environmental risks. In the DIC Vision 2030 long-term management plan, DIC sets forth a basic strategy of expanding its Functional Products business with a focus on sustainable products. The DIC Group will continue to leverage its extensive expertise and technical capabilities in synthetic resins to accelerate product development and sales and contribute to solving social issues.
