Supplementary Explanatory Materials for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, operating profit exceeded the previous year as products for agriculture and other offerings grew. However, revenue declined due to weak performance in automotive products and food packaging materials, and both revenue and operating profit fell short of the company's forecasts. The forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2027, including the earnings and dividend forecasts, were left undetermined due to uncertainty in the business environment.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

Automotive sales declined due to the expiration of North American EV subsidies, tariffs and inventory adjustments in the Chinese market, among other factors, while food packaging materials for convenience stores performed poorly as demand weakened amid higher prices. Meanwhile, heat-shielding and light-blocking products for agriculture and horticulture, as well as the ground-source heat business, performed strongly and contributed to operating profit. Net profit included income from the equity method, while expenses related to the tender offer were also recorded. The forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2027 were left undetermined because of uncertainty surrounding the situation in the Middle East, crude oil prices, supply chains, procurement of raw materials, logistics and energy costs, and the timing and extent of changes in demand and the pass-through of higher prices.
