Message from the President

The financial results for the Furukawa Electric Group during the first half of the current fiscal year (consolidated cumulative period through the end of the second quarter) progressed steadily based on overall recovering demand, and we achieved increased profit on higher revenue compared to the same period last year.

Although net sales of data center related products in the Communications Solutions and Functional Products businesses increased, we have left the full-year forecast unchanged due to the impact of the stronger Taiwan dollar and demand changes among major customers in the Functional Products business.

Going forward, we will continue to strengthen production and sales of the product lineups for the growing data center market, and by further expanding the Communications Solutions and Functional Products businesses, we will aim to achieve the targets in the Medium-term Management Plan “Road to Vision 2030- Transform and Challenge” set to end at the end of this fiscal year.

In addition, we will accelerate the growth strategy directed at achieving our Furukawa Electric Group Vision 2030, including the establishment of stable electrical power infrastructure that will support increased electricity demand as data center capacity expands, provision of solutions that will realize energy savings and increased performance at data centers and the creation of new businesses aimed at contributing to increased safety, stability and prosperity of daily life.

In order to embody our Furukawa Electric Group Purpose “Composing the core of a brighter world”, we will continue working to solve the social issues.

Concerning the dividend for the current fiscal year, we will forego issuing an interim dividend, but there is currently no change to the planned year-end dividend of JPY 120 per share as announced on May 13, 2025.

I kindly ask our shareholders for their continued support and encouragement.

December 2025
