Overview
We are a company with a robust financial base, high profitability and stability.
Stable Financial Structure
Nissan Chemical has built up a robust financial base, having given careful consideration to a balance between shareholders’ equity and debt. As the figure below shows, our equity ratio remains high.
Although the debt balance has slightly increased recently, we have maintained it at a level that allows us to sustain a high credit rating from the Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR).
Accordingly, our Net D/E ratio which is one of the key financial indicators keeps low.
(Lower Net D/E ratio is preferable).
Stable and high profitability
We have achieved high profitability and stability over an extended period of time thanks to our well-balanced business Portfolio that generates stable income streams and high margin returns that drive our growth.
