Sojitz Corporation - President, CEO & Representative Director

Let us review the financial targets of the Medium-Term Management Plan 2020, which started in April 2018. In MTP 2020, we aimed to achieve in year 3 over JPY 75 billion of profit of the year at 3% or higher ROA and 10% or higher ROE.

Although we had a good start in 2018 with JPY 70.4 billion profit of the year, in 2020, which is the final year of the plan, in addition to being largely impacted by COVID-19, a pandemic, we also front-loaded responses for a part of thermal coal interest and oilfield interest, with an eye on shift towards decarbonization. Thus, we underachieved the target with JPY 27 billion profits of the year, 1.2% ROA and 4.5% ROE. Though single year ROE was below the target, the average in the 3 years of MTP was around 9%, which is above our shareholders' equity cost of 8%. Core cash flow, net DER and shareholder return, did achieve our target even under the COVID calamity, thanks to the disciplined financial management.
