Notice Regarding Postponement of Financial Results Announcement for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Reason for Postponement of Financial Results Announcement

Tokai Rika Co., Ltd. will postpone the financial results announcement for the fiscal year ending March 2026, originally scheduled for April 24, 2026. The reason is the discovery of an error in the tax effect accounting treatment related to retirement benefits of prior fiscal years, revealing that deferred tax assets were overstated from the fiscal year ending March 2019 through March 2025. As a result of these corrections, it is expected to take additional time to rectify the consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements for prior fiscal years. The impact on the performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is anticipated to be minor.

Future Plans and Impact on Shareholders

The new date for the financial results announcement will be promptly disclosed once it is determined. They apologize for the considerable inconvenience caused to shareholders, investors, and related parties. Since the impact on earnings is minor, it is believed there will be no significant effect on investment decisions; however, attention should be paid to the progress of the correction work.
