The market welcomed the announcement of an annual dividend forecast of 200 yen, up 50 yen from the previous fiscal year.

Profitability is expected to improve, driven by higher sales of high-performance seals for advanced industrial markets and a recovery in demand for general functional resins. The projected dividend consists of an ordinary dividend raised to 170 yen and a 30 yen commemorative dividend marking the company's 100th anniversary.
