During the earnings call for Sumitomo Chemical's fiscal 2023 third quarter, President Keiichi Iwata provided guidance reflecting a challenging financial landscape.

The management also revised the year-end dividend forecast from JPY 6 to JPY 3 per share, a reduction from the previously planned JPY 12 annual dividend. Efforts to address these challenges include structural reforms and cash generation strategies, with a focus on immediate-term measures to achieve a V-shaped recovery in fiscal 2024.Cash Generation Progress
