Launch of New Business Center Set to
Accelerate Value Creation
We spent the past year exploring potential new businesses
to transform Tokuyama into a value-creative company,
and ultimately identified three clear-cut areas where ourtechnological prowess is aligned with societal needs: alkaline
water electrolyzers (AWEs): thermal materials and biomass
fuels. To expedite monetization of our efforts in these threeareas, we established the New Business Center, a neworganization independent from both business divisions andthe Research & Development Division, in April 2022.
Capitalizing on our vast operational know-how andexpertise in electrolysis technologies, we aim to develop theworld’s most energy-efficient hydrogen-producing AWEs
that produce hydrogen. We are seeing strong interestin such AWEs from around the world, and so will swiftly
commercialize them with our sights set on an overseas rollout.
Thermal materials under development include ceramicmetal composite substrates with high thermal conductivity,and fillers for exothermic resins. We aim to commercialize
such high-value-added thermal management materials forapplications with promising growth prospects, including nextgeneration mobility. Next, I will discuss biomass fuels.

Message from the President

Net Sales of Growth Businesses

We are gaining share in the plastic lens-related materials
and dental material markets, mainly in Europe and the U.S.
New product development and investment are proceedingas planned. In May 2022, we completed an expansion of
raw material processing capacity at our Kashima Factory,
where we produce dental materials/equipment. Despite
the adverse impact of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, we will
increase production capacity through additional capex.
The Life Science Business’ priority goal is to lay thegroundwork for healthcare operations over the next five toten years, during Medium-Term Management Plan 2025’s
term. This plan comprises several components. First, inthe medical diagnostics space, our focus is on generatingsynergies with A&T Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiaryacquired in 2021. We have already begun to reciprocallyshare researchers with A&T, and are working on combining
our respective strengths to develop biochemical testing
reagents and improve testing hardware. In addition toshoring up the foundation of the medical diagnostics
business, we must broaden our reagent product line, andare exploring options to do so, including M&A.
Next, we will enhance the competitiveness of ourpharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates by leveraging
our strengths, namely process development and thorough
GMP* 1 compliance. Meanwhile, we will keep capex
down by entirely outsourcing manufacturing to overseas
producers. Additionally, we will utilize a consultative sales
approach to inform pharmaceutical companies involved indiscovery and development of new drugs how to achieve
stable yields by using new process technologies we havedeveloped.
Lastly, we are starting to supply spherical porous silica,
a highly oil-absorbent material that feels pleasant on theskin, to the cosmetics industry. We will focus on expanding
silica’s applications as well as cultivating new sources ofdemand by strengthening our marketing.

■

Of our three Focus Areas, the biggest growth driver in
Medium-Term Management Plan 2025 is the Electronic
Materials Business. Its strengths include purification
and analytical technologies that facilitate semiconductor
miniaturization, and technologies for sintering thermal
management materials to maintain performance bydischarging heat from electronic parts and materials.
Proprietary technologies like these that we have beeninternally amassing for over two decades are driving theongoing expansion of the Electronic Materials Business. To
broaden our thermal management materials product line,
we opened the Center for Commercialization of Advanced
Technology in Yanai, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in July 2021.
We are also preparing to launch mass production of silicon
nitride, a project that is progressing roughly as planned.

Socially Responsible Management
and Governance

Progress toward carbon neutrality has been
accelerating globally in recent years. In April 2022, theIntergover nmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
published the third installment of its Sixth Assessment
Report, in which it discussed the prospects and ways oflimiting global warming to no more than a 1.5°C increase in
the global average temperature relative to the pre-industrial
era. Given such developments, chemical companies
like Tokuyama cannot hope to survive, much less grow,over the long term without being in harmony with theenvironment. Based on this awareness, last year we
updated our Mission and Vision, and formulated MediumTerm Management Plan 2025 to foster our transformation
into a value-creative company. Our Mission and Visionencompass our goal of creating new value our customers
seek by placing priority on R&D and marketing; on pursuitof coexistence with communities and societies worldwide
through CO 2 emission reductions and environmentallyfriendly products; and on employees who take prideand find fulfillment in their work. We are proud that thisconception articulates the identity that Tokuyama has
cultivated as well as its future direction in order to offer aclearer picture to our employees.
However, reflecting our Mission and Vision in our dayto-day operations has proved challenging. Although ourworkforce as a whole is generally supportive of our plan
to overhaul our business portfolio by shifting our profit
structure away from dependence on energy-intensive
businesses, there are still not enough employees willing to

For the Eco Business, we have designated Medium-Term
Management Plan 2025’s term as a foundation-building
phase to develop the business into a new pillar that willplay a major role in Tokuyama’s future.
Environmental regulatory tightening is driving growthin demand for wastewater purification and recovery ofvaluable substances using our ion exchange membranes,
which are garnering strong interest from China in particular.
Thus, we are planning to expand production capacity. We
plan to forge ahead with further technological development
and laterally expand into new businesses such as
extracting resources from seawater.
Tightening of residential energy efficiency standards isa tailwind for our plastic window sashes. In this area, we
aim to capture demand in the high-performance multifamily
housing market in addition to the high-performancedetached housing market.
As for gypsum board, we have decided to build a third
waste gypsum board recycling facility, in Hokkaido. Waste
gypsum board is classified as intractable waste. Given thechallenges its disposal poses, we selected the new facility’ssite out of a desire to benefit the region by deploying our
proprietary technology there. With desulfurized gypsum
emissions from coal-fired power plants expected todecrease going forward, demand for recycled gypsum
powder is growing. Against such a backdrop, the gypsum
board market is increasingly counting on Tokuyama’s
technologies. Additionally, we are focusing on the impending
problem presented by large quantities of photovoltaics
panel waste. To this end, we are researching separation andrecycling technology in collaboration with NEDO*2.

employees to eagerly embrace challenges.
We will reallocate management resources to the threedomains we have designated as growth businesses:
electronics, healthcare and the environment. Our progressin executing this growth strategy, which leverages
Tokuyama’s unique strengths, is being watched especiallyclosely by our stakeholders. The keys to realizing our
Vision while increasing these growth businesses’ share of
consolidated net sales to over 50% are the resolve anddecision-making of management on the one hand, and theability of employees to take action informed by a reshaped
mindset on the other.

Building Foundations for the Eco BusinessTokuyama Value Creation

We have designated electronics, healthcare and the environment as growth businesses. The keys to increasing
their share of consolidated net sales to over 50% are the resolve and decision-making of management on the
one hand, and the ability of employees to take action informed by a reshaped mindset on the other.

Additionally, we are planning to expand into downstream
market segments by partnering with companies thatpossess technologies we lack.
The Electronic Materials Business’ customers, mostof which are concentrated in Asia, want us to be able
to provide quick-turnaround production and technicalsupport by locating production facilities in their proximity.
Consequently, as a first step, a joint venture we formed
with a Taiwanese company is commissioning a high-purity
isopropyl alcohol (IPA) plant that will commence production
in 2022. We have also decided to expand our production
capacity in Korea, and are starting to research expansion
opportunities in other countries/regions as well. Throughthese efforts, we intend to raise our profile as the top
electronic materials supplier in Asia.

Since its establishment in 1918, Tokuyama has worked to accumulate technologies and create new products bycultivating our inorganic chemicals business and, since the 1970s, by promoting the development of fine chemicals
and specialty businesses, mainly in organic and polymer chemistry. Over the course of more than a century, we haveestablished technologies that have become the cornerstone of our growth. We will continue to evolve our technologies
as we strive to create value that meets the needs of today.

The Company was founded as a soda ash business and utilized the byproducts to expand into the cement business.
It proceeded to diversify into the petrochemical business, such as PVC resin, in the 1960s, and developed into adiversified chemicals manufacturer. Following the second oil shock that occurred around 1980, the Company expanded
its business to include high-performance products such as electronic materials and fine chemicals. It made a full-scale
entry into the recycling business in 2000.

Separation technology using ion exchange
membranes

High-purity and high-sensitivity analysis
technology

Our semiconductor-grade polycrystalline silicon, which is used as a raw material
for silicon wafers, is of the highest level of purity in the world. In addition, theCompany’s isopropyl alcohol, a chemical used to clean electronic components,
is characterized by its low level of impurities
due to a unique process for the direct
hydration of propylene. Our high-purity
and high-sensitivity analysis technology,
which detects even the smallest amount of
impurities, facilitates the development andmanufacture of these products.

The Company has advanced technological capabilities in molecular design, which
involves designing and controlling the chemical structure of photochromic dyematerials according to their intended purpose, such as color tone and color development and fading. In addition, we haveadvanced organic synthesis technology to
manufacture products according to design,
and we have a track record of delivering
numerous products in the field of plastic

Financial and Non-Financial Highlights
Cash FlowsIn FY2021, sales of semiconductor-related products andhealthcare-related products remained solid, but increases
in costs such as raw material and fuel prices and logistics
expenses resulted in operating profit decreasing year on year.
Meanwhile, profit attributable to owners of parent increased
due to a decrease in tax expenses resulting from additional
recording of deferred tax assets, and ROE was maintained at
the same level as the previous fiscal year.
Revenue is forecast to increase year on year in FY2022,
backed by strong demand for products such as semiconductor-

related products and petrochemical products. However, it
is anticipated that instability will continue in the environment
surrounding the business, such as raw material and fuel prices
and exchange rates, with operating profit expected to remain
at the same level as the previous fiscal year. We will endeavor
to secure earnings by continuing to revise prices and proceedwith cost reductions. Furthermore, to achieve the goals of

We are promoting energy conservation as a measure
to mitigate global warming.
In FY2021, our plants worked to reduce electricity
and steam usage, and we managed to cut energy usage
by 253,000 GJ. While this accounts for 0.5% of our totalenergy usage, we are making steady efforts each year to
reduce energy consumption. In FY2020, there werefears that the energy consumption rate would worsen
significantly due to a decline in facility operation caused
by COVID-19. However, we were able to maintain thesame level as the previous year by steadily implementing
energy-saving measures and promoting the use ofalternative energy sources to coal. As a result, weachieved our target of a 3% improvement in the energy
consumption rate based on FY2005 standards.

efficient planning without the know-how of experienced
employees. Analysis of accumulated operational datafrom the plants is a first step towards this scenario.
Furthermore, the Company is also working to introduce
image recognition technology and AI for early detection ofabnormal conditions in plant operations.
One task, to strengthen data linkage throughout theentire supply chain, has already been started to improve
quality traceability from raw materials to finished products.
This measure is important from a quality assurance
perspective to meet customers’ requirements, and canalso be a trigger to make strategic proposals to customers.
“Workstyle DX” aims to create an efficient and flexible
environment for employees through shifting to paperlesswork from conventional formats. The key purpose of thisshift is not only introducing digital tools, but also realizing
ideal working conditions through all possible means. In
addition, a DX education program is being planned to help
train all employees to actively participate in these activities.
In “R&D DX,” development of new materials has
been started using materials informatics (MI), which has
generated some remarkable achievements in fields suchas semiconductors. In addition, digitization of experimental
data is contributing to research efficiency, because it canincrease collaboration among researchers which may thenlead to innovations in R&D areas.

Promoting DX in the Tokuyama Group, under the heading“Tokuyama DX Project,” is one of the most importantmeasures for the entire Group to pursue in order totransform its business portfolio. DX is being carried out inorder to establish highly efficient business operations on acompany-wide level, and is also necessary for innovation in
R&D and supply chain management (SCM). Furthermore,digital technology can speed up decision-making andenable the succession of knowledge among various
divisions in the Company.
Management resources such as cash and surplus
personnel generated by DX promotion will be injected into
the three growth business areas to enhance corporate
value. During Medium-Term Management Plan 2025,
individual DX measures are planned to be implemented
through investing a maximum of ¥10 billion by FY2025.
In April 2021, the DX Promotion Department wasestablished in the Corporate Planning Division. Key
DX personnel, selected as individuals responsible fordriving DX activities in each division, have been deployed
across the company. The purpose of this is to strengthen
information sharing across divisions to optimize various
company-wide activities. Following that, several task teams
have been launched under the Tokuyama DX Project,which consists of eight categories, such as manufacturing,R&D and supply chain, and so forth.
For example, one goal of “Manufacturing DX” ischanging from conventional factories to “smart factories.”
Realizing this transition requires stable operations andImprovement of management efficiency, risk management,

As a new lineup in the thermal management materials
field, we are engaged in the commercialization of silicon
nitride, expected to be used in insulated substrates for
power semiconductors in EVs and so forth. Tokuyama’s
silicon nitride helps disperse heat from power
semiconductors and insulates several kilovolts of highvoltage, contributing to the extension of driving range
and the enhancement of durability. Furthermore, as EVs
call for components that contribute to the reduction ofenvironmental impact, we believe our products will bechosen by the global market due to our unique, energyefficient manufacturing processes that do not use anyorganic solvents.
In July 2021, we completed the construction of
manufacturing facilities for silicon nitride within theCenter for Commercialization of Advanced Technology.
We aim to provide a stable supply of products byproviding integrated production, from high-purity powder

A&T conducts business related to clinical testing
carried out in hospitals. Since the company was
founded, we have consistently worked on development,
manufacturing and after-sales support for products
essential to processes including the acceptance andautomated transportation of specimens, analysis anddata processing. The know-how for centrally managing
and utilizing information generated in each process,such as the state of specimens and analysis data, andcomprehensive consulting capabilities are strengths that
other companies simply do not have.
In Japan, there has been a prominent expansionof medical expenses associated with the aging ofsociety. Furthermore, no time can be lost in handling
qualitative changes in home medical care and nursing.
One method leading to the resolution of such issues
is the analysis and utilization of clinical test data.
We believe we will be presented with new business

Capture growing demand in the global market whileproviding value not offered by competing products
Efforts have been made to shorten treatment timeand reduce costs in dental care in recent years due tothe spread of COVID-19 infections. For this reason, I
feel there has been heightened demand for products
enabling the simplification of clinical tasks andoperations.
Tokuyama Dental has positioned OMNICHROMA,a filling material for teeth after treatment of cavities, as
one of the pillars for driving growth. Its ability to blend
with any color of tooth simply by filling and hardening
eliminates the time required by dentists to selectfilling material, and also provides value not offered bycompeting products, such as the effect of reducing
inventory costs. Overseas markets such as Europe
and the United States account for 65% of Tokuyama
Dental’s net sales (FY2021), and we plan to raise thislevel to 75% by 2026. Furthermore, we are currently
making large-scale capital expenditures to increase

The solar power generation systems initially introducedwith the commencement of the FIT scheme* 1 are
anticipated to generate large volumes of waste fromused modules in the 2030s.
Photovoltaics modules are made up of 60% glass
by weight. Technologies already exist for reusing thisglass portion as glass wool and pavement material,
and these have also been commercialized. However,these applications lack the capacity to accept
recycled glass, meaning there is a need for technology
enabling recycling into sheet glass.
Recycling business operators handling recycling
into products such as glass wool primarily use
equipment for mechanically crushing glass. However,this method is unable to recycle materials into sheet
glass, which does not allow contamination by evensmall amounts of cells or organic matter. To address
this, Tokuyama has developed an innovative separation
method for photovoltaics module materials, which

Tokuyama’s Cement Business Division has a history of
being the earliest in Japan to engage in industrial waste
recycling. In the past, the byproducts generated within
the company were used as cement feedstock, but wenow accept a large volume of waste from outside thecompany as well, and utilize it as recycling material.
In 1999, we established a plant able to process
large volumes of waste plastic recycled as alternative

Opening of “You You Terrace” Facility for
People with Disabilities

Conclusion of J-PPP ESG/SDGs Project
Promotion Partnership Agreement

Tokuyama established You You Terrace (Yu Yu
Terasu in Japanese) within a building adjacent to theTokuyama Factory as a facility for the employment ofpeople with disabilities in October 2021. In addition to
supporting career fulfillment and independence by fully
utilizing the aptitude of each person with disabilities,
its objective is to actively create employment.
The name of the facility in Japanese is derived
from yu (結う, connection), yu (優う, care) and terasu(照らす, to shine) based on the idea of placing
importance on connections, kindly watching overeveryone, and shining a light on the surroundings.

Tokuyama has concluded a J-PPP ESG/SDGs Project
Promotion Partnership Agreement with Renofa
Yamaguchi, a professional soccer team in the J2 League,
for the achievement of ESG/SDGs and the realization ofa sustainable local community through sport.
We will utilize the resources of both Tokuyama
and Renofa for engaging in solutions to issues in thelocal community and promotion of ESG and SDGs, bycoexisting and co-creating with the community andlocal governments through such efforts as the formation
and utilization of a local economy ecosystem and sounddevelopment of the local community through sport.

by conducting business in harmony with the environment
and working to create the future together with its customers

Directors every year.
Evaluation Process

ReportHelpline Committee

Executive Committee

Human Resources
Committee

Corporate Social Responsibility DivisionCorporate Planning Division, etc.

In regard to the Board’s evaluation for the period ended March 2022, theCompany conducted a questionnaire survey and interview of all directors,
after which the Board members held discussions based on the results of
the interviews.
Along with verifying those matters considered to be of material
importance to the Board’s ability to effectively fulfill its roles andresponsibilities (composition and operation of the Board of Directors,
discussions involving strategies, etc.), during the year under review the
Company also confirmed the ways in which the Board should contributeto advancing Medium-Term Management Plan 2025, as well as related
perspectives and measures. In order to objectively ascertain theopinions of each director, the evaluation utilized an external organization
to conduct the questionnaire survey and interviews. In addition, theCompany requested the external organization facilitate the discussions
in order to objectively organize the issues and obtain opinions that would
enhance the Board’s effectiveness.

Overview of Evaluation Results
The evaluation results confirmed that the Company's Board of Directors
consists of a diverse range of members and is characterized by a respect
for free and open discussion against the backdrop of a corporate culture
with a positive atmosphere. The results also confirmed that the Board
functions effectively, owing to the concrete accumulation of initiatives
intended to improve the effectiveness of corporate governance.
One future issue for the Board of Directors, of which the Board
members share a common awareness, is the need in particular to holddeeper discussions regarding the twin management challenges of carbon
neutrality initiatives and business portfolio transformation, as raised in
Medium-Term Management Plan 2025. The Company has confirmedthat backing self-critical and self-reforming management, as well as
deepening discussions from a strategic and overarching perspective, isan important responsibility of the Board with regard to how the Company
addresses these management challenges.
In order to engage these issues, the Company's Board of Directors
will advance initiatives to enhance its effectiveness, including, (1)deepening insight regarding changes in the business environment inwhich the Company is situated, and creating opportunities to debate
measures for handling the important management challenges of carbon
neutrality initiatives and business portfolio transformation; (2) effectively
monitoring the progress of priority measures, including human capital
strategies and technology development strategies, in order to support
achievening the goals set by Medium-Term Management Plan 2025; and(3) rationalizing the Board's operation method, including Board meeting
agendas, materials, presentations, and so forth, in order to fulfill these
responsibilities.
