Reasons for the revision of the consolidated financial forecasts

In view of the operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the recent
development of business performance, the Company has revised its consolidated earnings
forecast for the first half and full year.
Both net sales and operating profit for the first half and full year are expected to exceed
the previous forecasts (announced on May 14, 2024) due to strong sales of products forautomobiles, home appliances and electronics-related products, and housing andinfrastructure in the Chemicals business. The revisions to ordinary profit and profit areattributable to an increase in operating profit.
As for the full-year consolidated financial results forecast, the initial forecast for thesecond half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 remains unchanged due to factors thatare extremely uncertain at this point, including the effects of rapid foreign exchange rate
fluctuations and trends in raw material prices.
Comparison with initial forecast is as follows.
・Net sales and operating profit for polymer additives and functional chemicals (both in theChemicals business) were revised upward.
・In the Electronics and IT materials and Food products segments, net sales were revised
downward and operating profit was revised upward.
・The life science has not changed.
The dividend forecast has not been revised from the previous announcement on 14 May,2024. Exchange rate assumptions for 2Q-4Q are ¥140/USD and ¥152/EUR.
(NOTE)
The forecast performance and business plans specified in this document have been prepared based on
information available as of the date of publication, as well as on various prerequisites; therefore, the actual
results may differ from these forecasts or plans depending on various factors that may arise hereafter.
