Tosoh Holds Dividend and Strengthens Cash Position as Leadership Transition Signals Stability Tosoh reported lower net sales and profit for FY2026 but kept margins relatively stable and ended the year with a stronger balance sheet and higher cash and equivalents.
The company maintained its annual dividend at ¥100 per share despite the profit decline.
Executive vice president Takafumi Kiuchi is set to become representative director on June 25, 2026, following the planned retirement of Toru Adachi, with Kiuchi bringing long experience across key divisions, including China operations.
The combination of lower earnings, unchanged dividend and improved cash generation points to a focus on financial stability and shareholder returns while the company withholds formal guidance due to uncertain business conditions.
Leadership continuity through Kiuchi’s promotion may reassure you that existing priorities, including capital allocation and regional strategy, are likely to remain consistent, although the lack of earnings guidance leaves less visibility on near-term performance. Reported Earnings • May 14

Tosoh Corporation Revises Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2025 Tosoh Corporation revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. For the period, the company now expects net sales of JPY 1,070,000 million against previous guidance of JPY 1,090,000 million; Operating income of JPY 98,000 million against previous guidance of JPY 94,000 million; Profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 61,000 million or JPY 191.55 basic per share against previous guidance of JPY 53,000 million JPY 166.44 basic per share. Reason for revisions: Despite the positive impact of yen depreciation beyond the assumed exchange rate and increased sales in the Engineering Group's water treatment business, sales volumes are expected to decline due to the stagnation of the Chinese economy and slower-than-anticipated recovery in semiconductor-related demand. As a result, net sales are projected to fall short of the previous forecast. Operating income is expected to exceed the previous forecast, as the strong performance of the water treatment business and improvements in the difference between inventory receipts and payments more than offset the impact of decreased sales. Furthermore, non-operating income is anticipated to improve due to foreign exchange gains resulting from the weaker yen. Consequently, both ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent are expected to surpass the previously forecasted figures. Reported Earnings • Feb 07
