Notice Regarding Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Guidance and Dividend Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Regarding Revision of Earnings Guidance

The full-year consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026 has been revised upward to net sales of 81,000 million yen (1.3% increase from previous forecast), operating income of 9,600 million yen (17.1% increase), ordinary income of 9,500 million yen (20.3% increase), and net income attributable to owners of parent of 5,300 million yen (17.8% increase). This reflects favorable performance in the third quarter consolidated cumulative period and strong contributions from the 'Electronics & Information' segment’s low-dielectric resin materials for high-end servers and the 'Environment & Energy' segment’s battery materials. Net sales and each profit item are expected to reach new record highs.

Regarding Revision of Dividend Forecast

The dividend forecast has been revised upward by 10 yen from the previous year-end forecast of 80 yen to 90 yen, resulting in an annual dividend forecast of 150 yen, including the interim dividend of 60 yen. This revision takes into account earnings exceeding prior expectations with profits expected to reach record highs in the fiscal year ending March 2026, and the projection of achieving the net income target of 5 billion yen in the first year of the new medium-term management plan 'SMART 2030'.
