Sumitomo Chemical recorded a core operating loss of 149 billion yen in fiscal 2023 due to margin deterioration in petrochemical-related businesses and the impact of patent expiration at Sumitomo Pharma under its 2022-2024 medium-term management plan. However, through intensive short-term performance improvement measures and structural reforms, the company achieved a V-shaped recovery with core operating profit of 140.5 billion yen in fiscal 2024.

The company positions itself as an "Innovative Solution Provider" for the long term, leveraging its technological and business strengths to address four social challenges: "Food," "ICT," "Healthcare," and "Environment." In October 2024, the company reorganized its business divisions to provide innovative solutions addressing these challenges.

Under its 2025-2027 medium-term management plan, the company adopts "Leap Beyond" as its slogan, concentrating management resources in the Agro & Life and ICT & Mobility domains. The company will pursue ROIC-focused management to improve profitability and capital efficiency, targeting core operating profit of 200 billion yen, ROE of 8%, and ROIC of 6% by fiscal 2027.

Sumitomo Chemical is advancing its business portfolio sophistication, positioning Agro & Life and ICT & Mobility as growth drivers while developing Advanced Medical as a future pillar. In Essential & Green Materials, the company will promote environmental burden reduction initiatives to achieve sustainable growth.

The company is advancing structural reforms at Petro Rabigh and Sumitomo Pharma to strengthen business resilience. Furthermore, the company will reinforce ROIC-focused management and improve its financial position to pursue sustained corporate value enhancement. From 2030 onward, the company aims to become a globally prominent enterprise by adding healthcare and environmental solutions.
