Reason for financial forecast revision

Net sales for the first half of the current fiscal year of our main-product semiconductor production equipment have exceeded previous projections due to factors such as the acceleration of customer demand and an increase in received orders, and, in terms of profit, operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent, each ultimately exceeded projections.

Furthermore, based on the most recent trends in facilities investments by our customers and the most recent trends in results, we would like to amend the consolidated results projections for the full year announced on August 16, 2021 as above.
 

Note: The financial forecasts and estimates stated in this announcement are based on certain assumptions judged to be reasonable by TEL in light of information currently available concerning economic conditions in Japan and overseas, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other factors that may have an impact on performance. TEL does not promise that the forecasts or estimates will be accurate.

They are therefore susceptible to the impact of many uncertainties, including market conditions, competition, the launching of new products (and their success or failure), and global conditions in the semiconductor related industry. Consequently, actual sales and profits may differ substantially from the projections stated in this announcement.
 

2. Dividends Forecast Revision

 

  Dividend per share
(Yen) 1Q-end 2Q-end 3Q-end Year-end Total
Previous forecast
(August 16, 2021)
562.00 627.00 1,189.00
Revised forecast 641.00 1,284.00
Results for the year ending March 31, 2022 643.00

 

 

Results for the year ended March 31, 2021 360.00 421.00 781.00

 

Reason

The dividend policy of TEL is to link dividend payments to business performance on an ongoing basis. Its basic policy for returning profits to shareholders is to maintain a payout ratio of around 50% based on consolidated net income attributable to owners of parent. As described above, in conjunction with the revision of our consolidated forecasts, TEL has also revised our annual dividends forecast from 1,189 yen per share to 1,284 yen. (Interim dividends : 643 yen, Year-end dividends : 641 yen)
