確認メモ(原文・英語)Consolidated Financial Results for the three months ended 30 June 2026, in English, 6 August 2026 - 14 pages with the segment note and the cash flow statement. Every quarter from FYE 3/2022 to FYE 3/2027 is there.
確認メモ(原文・英語)English 'Consolidated Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026' (6 Aug 2026): 13 pages against the Japanese 11. It has the summary pages, the qualitative section (operating results, financial position, forecast), balance sheet, income and comprehensive income statements, and the notes: going concern, shareholders' equity, tax accounting, the segment note for both years and the cash-flow note. The full-year English tanshin for FY3/2026 runs 21 pages against the Japanese 19, with the qualitative section, cash-flow overview, outlook, all four statements and the notes: segment overview and figures, per-share data and subsequent events. A page-for-page translation of the whole tanshin: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)The latest period (Q1 FY3/2027, 6 Aug 2026) has its statements in English with the quarterly notes, including segment information and the cash-flow note. The year end (FY3/2026, English tanshin posted 18 May 2026) has full statements (BS, P&L, comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows) with notes: segment overview, segment figures, per-share information, subsequent events. Full statements and notes for the latest period: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)The English IR Library has exactly three sections - financial results, general meeting of shareholders, business results. No securities report, and the company reports none to TSE.
確認メモ(原文・英語)Two reportable segments (High-purity Chemical, Transportation) plus Other. The English tanshin segment note gives external sales, inter-segment sales and segment profit every quarter (Q1 FY3/2027: 8,383 / 1,350 sales, profit 902 / 337). The FY tanshin states the segment definitions (organized by business element; segment profit = operating profit; inter-segment at market prices). The deck adds a High-purity Chemical sales breakdown by product line (Semiconductors 22,204, Energy, Electronic Materials, General Products, Industrial HF, Purchased Goods) and segment forecasts. Every period, defined: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)Searched the English IR top, Financial Highlights, IR Library, Stock information and sitemap for xls/xlsx/csv links and found none. What exists instead: a five-year HTML table with charts on Financial Highlights, and a bilingual PDF 'Fact Book (FYE3/2017-FYE3/2026)' (8 pages, ten years of P&L/BS/CF summaries) linked from it. Neither is a downloadable data file.
確認メモ(原文・英語)The FY3/2027 forecast (sales 39.1bn, OP 4.8bn, net 3.4bn) is in the English tanshin (18 May 2026). The tanshin's 'Future Outlook' gives the basis: AHF raw-material cost up on yen depreciation, semiconductor sales up overseas, price pass-through. It also says the Middle East/Hormuz sulfuric-acid impact is excluded from the forecast. The English FY deck (14 May) adds segment forecasts (High-purity 34,390 / OP 3,770; Transportation 4,590 / 1,020), a product-line forecast (Semiconductors 24,310 etc.), an OP bridge by volume/price/other, and capex, D&A, R&D, dividend and ROE forecasts. The 24 Mar 2026 revision notice is in English with its reasons (AI-semiconductor demand, cost pass-through, potassium fluoride for data centres). No numeric FX rate is stated; everything else is there: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)'Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan - FYE 3/2026-FYE 3/2028' (9 May 2025) in English, 25 pages against the Japanese 25, same day, linked from Company > Medium Term Management Plan. Targets for FYE3/2028: sales 42bn, OP 5.5bn, OP margin 13.1%, ROE 8% or more, cumulative total return ratio 100% or more, minimum dividend 170 yen. It also sets semiconductor-related sales and volume plans (20.9bn/72kt to 26.8bn/90kt). The Japanese page adds an explanatory video, which is a medium, not content: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)Business Results deck in English, 25 pages, published with the results on 6 August 2026 - performance highlights and topics - with a deck for every quarter back to FYE 3/2017.
確認メモ(原文・英語)No 'why invest', investment-highlights or at-a-glance page on the English IR site. The IR menu runs Top Message (a results recap), Disclosure Policy, Financial Highlights, Stock information, IR Library and IR Calendar. Strengths are described in company-overview material not framed for an investor. The High-purity Chemical Business page says the ultra-high-purity HF is 'highly evaluated ... by semiconductor manufacturers worldwide'. The deck's 'Introduction of Our Business' reference section gives 12N purity grades, 105,000 t/year HF capacity across three plants and Japan's first mass production of enriched boron. Overview doing the job: 3.
確認メモ(原文・英語)Named drivers with numbers. In the English MTP: semiconductor-related sales 20.9bn to 26.8bn and volume 72kt to 90kt by FYE3/2028, with sales mix by market (Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe/US, China, Korea) and North American expansion. The MTP also gives sales plans for high-purity boron trifluoride, potassium fluoride (data-centre/AI demand) and concentrated boric acid (nuclear). The deck adds 105kt HF capacity by plant, shipment volumes by half-year and the FY3/2027 product-line forecast (Semiconductors +9.5%, Electronic Materials +17.7%): 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)No English transcript or Q&A: the Business Results library holds decks only, and the English IR Calendar lists the half-year and full-year webinars for institutional investors, run through Minsetsu. The Japanese side publishes none either. Its 決算説明資料 page has decks, a business-introduction video and slides, and no 質疑応答 or transcript. The only Japanese Q&A posts are AGM Q&A summaries (第83期定時株主総会 質疑応答要旨, 25 Jun 2026, since withdrawn), not results briefings.
確認メモ(原文・英語)No annual or integrated report in English. The IR Library has three sections and none of them is one; the only sustainability material on the English site is a policies page.
確認メモ(原文・英語)The English MTP opens with the third plan's results. Page 4 'Changes in Management Indicators' sets the FYE3/2025 targets (as revised 26 Dec 2024: sales 35.5bn, OP 4.2bn, ROIC 6.2%) against charted actuals (sales 36.2bn, OP 4.3bn, ROIC 6.0%), and page 11 tabulates FYE3/2022 and FYE3/2025 actuals. Pages 5-8 review the initiatives by business qualitatively. The ROIC shortfall and the earlier downward revision of the targets are not explained. Reconciliation without the variance explanation: 4.
確認メモ(原文・英語)The English notice of the 83rd AGM (29 May 2026; Proposals 1-2 elect all 12 directors: 7 directors and 5 Audit and Supervisory Committee members) covers every director. Each profile gives date of birth, full career history with dates, years of service as director, board attendance, shareholdings, share-based compensation points and reasons for nomination. Outside directors are flagged [Outside][Independent], with the TSE independent-officer designation and the company's own independence standards (Reference 3). The skill matrix repeats years of service for all twelve: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)'[Reference] 1. Directors' Skill Matrix/Reasons for Selecting Skills' in the English 83rd AGM notice (May 2026). It shows the post-AGM board of 12 against corporate management, production technology, R&D, sales/marketing, financial accounting, personnel/human resource development, legal/compliance and global, with gender, years of service, independence and a page on why each skill is needed. Current matrix in English: 5.
確認メモ(原文・英語)No English CG report, yuho, integrated report or business report: the English AGM notice carries only the reference documents. What English exists covers one component. The 19 May 2025 'Notice of Partial Revision of Share-Based Compensation Plan for Eligible Directors' sets base points at 10% of standard annual compensation by position, a 250m yen / 75,000-share cap per five years, and delivery on retirement. The governance page mentions the Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee. Not stated: the overall fixed/bonus/stock structure (the balance sheet shows a directors' bonus provision), any KPIs or weights, and amounts paid. Between a mention and the structure only; floor: 2.
確認メモ(原文・英語)Notice of the 83rd AGM, electronic provision from 29 May 2026 for a meeting on 19 June - 21 days - running to 27 pages with the Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders attached in English. Re-checked 23 Oct 2026 (G5 voting-site sweep, after the independent audit): the Japanese notice names the voting website, www.web54.net (Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank), which is in Japanese only, with no English option, as for ESPEC (6859) and Nitto Boseki (3110). Every proposal in English, but a Japanese-only voting route, so 4.

確認メモ(原文・英語)No single library page.
