Notice Regarding Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending November 2026 (Undetermined)

The previously announced full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending November 2026 has been changed to “undetermined” for all of revenue, profit and earnings per share. This is because it is difficult to reasonably calculate results from the second half onward due to uncertainty surrounding the situation in the Middle East, raw material prices and demand trends.

Reason for the revision

The surge in crude oil and naphtha prices due to concerns over the escalation and prolongation of military conflict in the Middle East, the resulting increase in raw material procurement costs and risk of supply disruptions, and the risk of production adjustments and declining demand among major customers due to the global economic slowdown caused by soaring energy prices and geopolitical risks make it difficult to reasonably calculate results from the second half onward.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Crude oil and naphtha prices have surged due to concerns over the escalation and prolongation of military conflict in the Middle East, increasing the risk of higher raw material procurement costs and supply disruptions. In addition, the global economic slowdown resulting from soaring energy prices and geopolitical risks has raised concerns over production adjustments and declining demand among major customers, making it difficult to reasonably calculate results from the second half onward.
