For Shareholders and Investors

Dear Shareholders and Investors,
My name is Hiroshi Teshirogi, Representative Director, President, and CEO of ALCONIX CORPORATION.

In FY2025, despite a challenging external environment—marked by a decline in nickel prices and sluggish demand in the automotive sector—we achieved higher sales and profit. Net sales amounted to ¥197.0 billion (+12.6% year-on-year), and ordinary profit to ¥7.5 billion (+38.2% year-on-year), driven by solid demand related to generative AI and structural reforms in our Manufacturing segment. Furthermore, with a year-end dividend of ¥42 per share, we expect to pay a total annual dividend of ¥74 per share, representing an increase of ¥19 from the FY2024 total of ¥55.

The external environment for FY2026 is characterized by increasing uncertainty, reflecting global economic and market volatility caused by factors such as U.S. tariff policy. Nevertheless, supported by efforts to strengthen our resilience to fluctuations in non-ferrous metal markets and to maintain and expand our presence in markets with robust real demand, we forecast consolidated ordinary profit of ¥8.2 billion. We also plan to raise the annual dividend to ¥84 per share. We have raised our DOE (dividend on equity) target from “3% or higher” to “4% or higher,” reinforcing our commitment to delivering stable returns to our shareholders.

FY2026 marks a major milestone for ALCONIX: the 45th anniversary of our founding and the 25th anniversary since our MBO. To serve as a guiding policy within the Group and to communicate our direction to external stakeholders, we have established—and are pleased to announce today—our Group Purpose (our reason for being), Vision (the future we aspire to), and Long-Term Management Plan 2030, which runs through FY2031. This plan outlines a clear roadmap for realizing our Purpose and Vision, and for maintaining and enhancing the sustainability of the Group. As one united team, we will work together to achieve our goal of becoming a company capable of generating consolidated ordinary profit of ¥15.0 billion or more by FY2031.

We sincerely thank our shareholders and investors for your continued warm support.
