Showa Denko Revises 2017 Performance Forecast

TOKYO, 2017年12月12日 - (JCN Newswire) - Showa Denko ("SDK"; TSE:4004) hereby announces revised forecast of consolidated financial results for full-year 2017. SDK announced the earlier forecast on July 24, 2017, and decided this time to revise it, taking the recent business trends into consideration. However, the forecast of net income attributable to owners of the parent as shown in the table below remains the same as that in the earlier forecast because it takes time to scrutinize the effect of the business integration between SDK and former SGL GE Holding GmbH (currently SHOWA DENKO CARBON Holding GmbH), which SDK acquired on October 2, 2017.

Reasons for the revision of consolidated performance forecast

Net sales are expected to exceed the earlier forecast. Net sales in the Inorganics segment are expected to exceed the earlier forecast because financial results of former SGL GE Holding GmbH (currently SHOWA DENKO CARBON Holding GmbH) is to be consolidated, starting from the fourth quarter, 2017 due to the business integration. Net sales in the Petrochemicals segment will exceed the earlier forecast because market prices of petrochemical products have been hovering above the earlier forecast due to a rise in raw naphtha price.

Operating income in the Petrochemicals segment is expected to exceed the earlier forecast because the spreads of products have been hovering above the earlier forecast, reflecting the tight supply-demand situation in the Asian market. Operating income in the Inorganics segment is also expected to exceed the earlier forecast because operating income of our subsidiary in China is expected to be higher than the earlier forecast due to a rise in prices of graphite electrodes in the Chinese market.

Ordinary income will be higher than the earlier forecast due to the increase in operating income.

The forecast of net income attributable to owners of the parent remains the same as that in the earlier forecast because it takes time to scrutinize the effect of the business integration between SDK and former SGL GE Holding GmbH (currently SHOWA DENKO CARBON Holding GmbH), which SDK acquired on October 2, 2017.
