Future Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

As a result of the public tender offer and delisting procedures, the earnings forecast for fiscal year 2027 has not been announced. Asset levels are on an upward trend, and if demand in the special steel business continues to recover, steady performance is expected in the future. For shareholders, delisting may pose risks of decreased liquidity and stock dilution, but attention should be given to strengthened business fundamentals and improved profitability.
