F1Quarterly and full-year results summaries (tanshin) published in English3/5

Summary of Consolidated Financial Statements for Q1 fiscal 2026 in English, 29 July 2026, the same day as the Japanese, and every quarter is in English. But the English cuts the notes: the segment-information note, the balance-sheet note and the tax-accounting note are in the Japanese only (the segment table survives in the narrative section). A content cut: 3 (was 5; re-checked 14 Oct 2026 against the Japanese page by page, as for TOCALO and RS Technologies). Source document →

F2English results summary is a full translation, not an excerpt3/5

Q1 FY2026 Summary of Consolidated Financial Statements, 29 Jul 2026: English 18 pages against the Japanese 2027年3月期第1四半期決算短信 at 16. The English has the summary pages, the full qualitative section (business results with a segment sales/operating-profit table and segment commentary, financial position, capital resources, R&D, forecast), the balance sheet, income statement and comprehensive income statement. Its notes are cut. The Japanese notes (pp.11-14) have the quarterly-specific tax accounting note, the balance-sheet note (guarantees, receivables-securitisation repurchase obligation, endorsed notes) and the segment-information note (セグメント情報等, with revenue disaggregation and adjustment notes). None of these three is in the English, which goes from Additional Information straight to the cash-flow and business-combination notes. The full-year FY2025 English tanshin (27pp vs 32pp) likewise leaves out the statement of changes in equity, the balance-sheet note and the per-share note, as well as the Japanese sections on strategy and issues to address, group overview and choice of accounting standards. Part of the notes, the segment note above all, exists only in Japanese, so 3. Source document →

F3Financial statements including notes available in English4/5

For the year to March 2026 the full statements and notes are in English in 'The 162nd Annual Securities Report (Financial Section)' (56pp, 9 Jul 2026). It has the consolidated balance sheet, income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, and notes covering significant accounting policies, financial instruments, retirement benefits, segment information, related parties and per-share information. It is AI-translated and has no auditor's report (see F4/R4). The FY2025 English tanshin carries the statements with a segment note. For the latest quarter (Q1 FY2026), the English tanshin has the statements but only some of the notes: no segment note and no balance-sheet note. Full notes at the year end only, so 4.

Published as the 'Financial Section' only, and the contents bear that out: no company overview, no management's analysis, no corporate governance part - and no independent auditor's report.

F5Segment revenue and profit disclosed in English, consistent definitions5/5

Every English tanshin gives net sales and operating profit for the five reportable segments (Chemicals, Cement, Electronic & Advanced Materials, Life Science, Eco Business) plus Others and adjustments, with a commentary for each segment. In Q1 FY2026, for example, Electronic & Advanced Materials had sales of ¥22,303m and OP of ¥3,126m. The FY2025 English tanshin's Segment Information note defines the segments and lists each one's main products. The decks add segment sales/OP, margins and full-year segment forecasts. The definitions are stated and consistent across periods; the cement sale (effective 1 Oct 2026) is flagged as excluded from the forecasts. So 5. Source document →

It shows FY2021-FY2025 actuals plus the FY2026 forecast, with a 'Download Excel Data' link (final_ExcelData_publication.xlsx); following the link in the browser starts a download. Five years of P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and per-share data, with segments, so 5.

F7Guidance disclosed in English with the basis explained5/5

The FY2026 forecast was withheld at the full year and then announced with Q1 on 29 Jul 2026: net sales ¥392.0bn, OP ¥34.0bn, ordinary ¥34.0bn, profit ¥26.0bn, EPS ¥361.38, dividend ¥132. It appears in the English tanshin and in the English release 'Notice concerning Performance and Dividend Forecasts for Fiscal 2026'. The English Q1 deck explains why the forecast is now given (uncertainty over raw-material procurement has eased) and states the assumptions: ¥160/USD and domestic naphtha at ¥86,000/kl for Q2-Q4. It also gives a year-on-year bridge of the main factors, forecasts by segment, notes that the cement business transfer is excluded, and the dividend forecast. So 5. Source document →

Strategic disclosure
S1Medium-term management plan in English with numerical targets3/5

Five-year Business Plan 2030 (FY2026-FY2030) was announced on 29 May 2026. In English there is a 2-page 'Notice concerning the Company's Five-year Business Plan' with the seven final-year targets (net sales ¥407.5bn, OP ¥57.0bn, OP margin 14.0%, EPS ¥551, ROE 10.6%, ROIC 9.1%, DOE 4.0%) and the FX/naphtha assumptions, plus a 1-page Q&A. Tokuyama Report 2026 (English, 1 Oct) repeats these targets and the ~54% business-investment capital allocation. The plan document itself is Japanese-only: the 36-page 中期経営計画2030 deck. The English MTP page still says 'The English version of the materials is scheduled for release in mid-June' and links the Japanese file '*Japanese version' four months later. That deck's segment targets (e.g. Electronic & Advanced Materials sales ¥91.6bn→¥175.4bn, OP ¥15.6bn→¥37.1bn, and each other segment) are not in any English document we found. An English summary carrying only some of the targets, so 3. Source document →

S3English equity-story or investment-highlights page5/5

No dedicated 'why invest' page. The English 'Tokuyama Value Creation' IR page is one paragraph and an image of the target business model. Tokuyama Report 2026 (English) opens with an introduction that does quantify strengths: competitive products in semiconductor processes with global positions (polycrystalline silicon about 20% worldwide share, high-purity IPA, fumed silica and aluminium nitride powder each No.1 worldwide or in Asia, soda ash No.2 at 20%, sole Japanese producer of an ion-exchange-membrane product), and a 'Tokuyama's Strengths' value-creation page. The Japanese side has a 個人投資家の皆さまへ hub with no English counterpart. Re-checked 21 Oct 2026 under the rule as written: a section in an investor document counts the same as a page, and a named market rank counts as a quantified strength. A dedicated section with quantified strengths, so 5. Source document →

S4Growth drivers identified and quantified in English4/5

Growth drivers are named in English: semiconductor materials (polysilicon from the new Vietnam and Malaysia bases, high-purity IPA in Taiwan and Korea, thermal-management materials) and healthcare/IVD. Some are quantified: Life Science sales targeted at about 3x the FY2025 level by FY2035, growth businesses' OP CAGR of 18.7% under the previous plan, the 30% aluminium nitride capacity expansion (10 Sep 2026 release), roughly 54% of FBP 2030 cash outflow to business investment, and FY2026 segment forecasts in the decks. The FY2030 contribution of each segment (sales/OP targets) is only in the Japanese plan deck, and the Japanese January 2026 business briefing (202601_zigyo.pdf) has no English version (the English page stops at 2025). Named, some quantified, so 4. Source document →

S5Results-briefing transcripts or Q&A published in English4/5

Every quarterly briefing has an English 'Q&A' (major questions and answers) next to the Japanese 主な質疑応答, back to FY2013. The Japanese side publishes the same kind of summary and no full transcript. Recent pairs by PDF creation date: Q1 FY2026 30 Jul / 30 Jul (English 2pp, 4,469 chars; Japanese 2pp); FY2025 13 May / 11 May; Q3 2 Feb / 2 Feb; Q2 30 Oct / 30 Oct. The Five-year Business Plan briefing (1 Jun) and the 2025 management briefing also have English Q&A. The only lag was two days on the full-year Q&A. Re-scored 23 Oct 2026 under the owner's S5 lag ruling (two days or more is late, judged per briefing, by PDF creation date where no listing date exists): the FY2025 English Q&A came two days after the Japanese. Every period, one late, so 4. Source document →

S7Progress against the previous plan, including misses, explained in English5/5

Tokuyama Report 2026 (English), 'Looking Back on Medium-Term Management Plan 2025', sets each target against the actual with the gap: OP target ¥45.0bn vs ¥37.0bn actual (−¥8.0bn); net sales ¥400.0bn vs ¥349.4bn (−¥50.5bn); growth-business sales CAGR 10.0%+ vs 9.6%; ROE 11.0%+ vs 8.2% (−2.8pt). It gives the FX/naphtha assumptions against actuals (¥105 vs ¥151/USD), the portfolio-shift ratios and the cash-flow allocation. The causes of the shortfall are explained in the report and in the English plan notice: the mid-plan semiconductor correction, weaker domestic chemicals and cement demand, raw-material and fuel costs, and personnel/R&D/IT costs. So 5. Source document →

Every candidate has date of birth, shares held, 'Tenure as Director' in years (e.g. Yokota 11 years), board attendance (e.g. 18/18), career history, the reasons for nomination (and expected roles for external directors), and independent-executive status with the related-party and transaction tests.

G4Executive remuneration structure and its performance linkage explained in English4/5

In English, the Corporate Governance Report (29 Jun 2026) and Tokuyama Report 2026 set out the structure: basic pay, a bonus at 0-150% of a standard amount by position, and performance-linked share-based remuneration at 0-150% over the plan period, with outside directors on basic pay only. The AGM notice (Proposal 5) names the KPIs for the share plan from FY2026 (consolidated operating margin and ROE) and the revised mix at 100% achievement (directors 55:25:20 basic:bonus:stock, from 60:30:10). FY2025 amounts are given only as category totals: ¥183m for five directors, ¥49m for two internal A&SC directors, ¥66m for six external directors, of which ¥9m is stock compensation expense. The bonus KPIs are only 'main financial and non-financial targets ... and individual targets', the weights between the share-plan KPIs are not stated, and there is no split of the amounts by pay element. Structure and KPIs, with weights and amounts incomplete, so 4. Source document →
