Reason for financial forecast revision
Investment in semiconductor production equipment is also becoming more active due to the growing importance of semiconductors, driven by the transition to a data society due to the expansion of communications technologies and efforts toward realizing a decarbonized society. Based on the most recent trends in facilities investments by our customers and the most recent trends in financial results, we would like to amend the consolidated financial forecasts for the full year announced on November 12, 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.

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 1,284 yen per share to 1,336 yen. (Interim dividends : 643 yen, Year-end dividends : 693 yen)
