Results for the First Three Quarters of FY2025
Overview: Both sales and profit decreased. Sales remained on par with the previous year despite a stronger yen compared with the weaker yen in the previous year. Operating profit has been improving since Q1. In Q3, both sales and profit increased year on year. While Polymers and Coatings and Packaging Materials segments were the performance drivers, profit from colorants and functional materials decreased due to the weak performance of CNT dispersions and CF materials.
Overseas, the performance of optical pressure sensitive adhesives for displays and functional films for mobile devices, among other products, remained strong in China. Gravure inks and can coatings remained strong in Japan and other countries. Among CF materials, products for small and midsize panels remained weak. The performance of UV curable inks remained below the year-ago level due to high raw material prices and increased competition in some markets. In Japan, improvements in pigments and functional coatings made progress and contributed to profit.
Profit attributable to owners of parent: Profit declined year on year due to a decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities.
FY2025 outlook
Performance: There are no revisions to the forecast that was announced on August 8, 2025.
Business:
Products including optical pressure sensitive adhesives, functional films, and can coatings are expected to remain strong. No major change is anticipated for CF materials while the performance of sensor-related materials is expected to remain solid. Full-scale shipments of CNT dispersions for LiBs for a major customer in China are expected to begin. For UV curable inks, the aim will be to keep pace with competitive counterpart products.
Prices of naphtha-derived raw materials, which have been declining, are expected to stabilize. Prices of raw materials for UV curable inks and silver, among other products, are expected to remain high. The effects of cost reductions and price revisions are expected to continue.

FY2025 First Three Quarters Summary of Consolidated Business Performance
Net sales
Operating profit
Profit attributable to owners of parent
Decreased Sales and Profit : Looking at the three-month period of Q3, both sales and profit increased year on year, reflecting the strong performance of Polymers and Coatings, as well as Pakaging Materials, sales of which have been growing since Q1.
Pressure sensitive adhesives for displays and functional films saw significant growth, while can coatings remained solid in Japan and other countries. CNT dispersions also increased year on year in terms of volume and sales. Liquid inks remained firm due to a recovery in Turkey, while offset inks remained sluggish in Japan and other countries.
Profit was driven by pressure sensitive adhesives for displays that captured demand related to panel production in China, as well as can coatings that tapped into new overseas demand. Functional coatings for paper containers also grew. Sales of CNT dispersions climbed, but the deficit rose on increased depreciation. Color filter materials also remained weak, with no growth in materials for small and midsize panels. In contrast to the strong performance in the previous fiscal year, UV curable inks saw lower profit due to soaring raw material prices and increased competition in some markets.
Profit declined year on year following a decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities.

Summary
Although demand for LCD resist inks expanded in the Chinese market, intensified competition prevented us from fully capturing the incremental demand, resulting in only modest growth . In Taiwan, sluggish market conditions led to declines in both sales and profit. The Chinese joint venture began providing mass-production prototypes. We are also strengthening our efforts for small- and medium-sized projects . Color filter materials for sensors were strong.
Profitability in solar-cell applications in China declined due to intensified competition . Sales in Southeast Asia remained firm partly
colorants -3%
due to adoption by new customers. Despite solid performances in Japan, efforts will be made to reduce costs, such as replacement partly in consideration of the impact of soaring raw material prices.
-9%
Pigments Profit continued to increase, partly aided by cost cutting and price revisions, although sales in terms of volume, particularly those of pigments for offset printing, continued to fall.
7%
Others Inkjet inks remained solid, but inventory adjustments are expected for Q4. Dispersions for LiBs remained solid in Europe, but weak in
the United States, China and Japan. Full-scale production for a major customer in China is expected to begin in December or later.

Mobility & Battery Related Businesses: CNT dispersions for LiBs-
FY2025Q3 Overview and topics:
Sales stood at 1.2 billion yen in 3Q alone and 3.0 billion yen on a cumulative basis. Europe continued to perform solidly. In North America, market conditions were not favorable. In China, efforts were made to expand sales to the largest battery manufacture, but the timing of full-scale shipments is expected to be postponed.
Hungary: Demand from SKon continued to be strong. The sales volume increased 55% year on year. Facility is being expanded for a new customer, to whom
products will start to be supplied in 2026.
U.S.: Sales, which had increased before the termination of subsidies in September, resulted in the year-ago level due to weak demand from SKon. Market conditions are expected to remain sluggish.
Zhuhai, China: Full-scale shipments for the largest battery manufacturer is scheduled to begin around December. Products for Chinese cars will be shipped, in addition to products for European cars.
Japan: Demand from Toyota Battery related to HEVs remained steady. Other customers delayed plans.
- Business outlook
Preparing for full-scale shipments to our customer in China beginning in December or later . With EV market conditions difficult in North America, the new plant in Kentucky is expected to begin operation in 2027 or later. The evaluation of products for anodes and those for LFP batteries have been evaluated, and we expect results to start being produced around 2027.

Summary
In functional films, products for mobile terminals continued to perform strongly due to the expansion of sales in China, but profit margins decreased given high raw material prices. Shipments of semiconductor-related materials developed by artience continued.
In adhesives, optical pressure-sensitive adhesives for displays continued to expand in China . In India, demand from local converters expanded, and production was supported by transferring workers from other sites . In Japan, sales of label-related products were weak, while industrial applications such as automotive remained solid . For laminating adhesives, price revisions were delayed in Japan, while overseas sales remained firm.
Can coatings achieved growth overseas, mainly in Thailand, due to the sales expansion of can coatings for beverage cans and increased demand for food cans. In Turkey, we have increased our market share for products for vegetable cans, among other products. Domestic profit was secured through sales expansion.

Both sales and profit increased. Products for food packaging applications remained robust thanks to the continued expansion of sales. Despite soaring raw material prices and logistics expenses, efforts were made to streamline production by consolidating the range of models, reducing fixed costs, and implementing price revisions. We anticipate that these efforts will continue to be effective in Q4.

India, where our local market share is rising, we officially decided to boost production at the plant in Gujarat. The new plant in Turkey recovered from Q1 weakness, with volume and sales exceeding last year's levels, but operating profit declined due to higher depreciation and inflation accounting.

Summary
Both sales and profit decreased. In Japan, despite a shrinking market for information-oriented printing, improvements to profit continued, reflecting ongoing reform of production and sales systems, and price revisions that incorporated logistics costs and other factors. Overseas, sheet-fed inks were stagnant due to the shrinkage of markets in China, among other countries, as well as sluggish sales in applications for publication and paper containers.
Functional
inks*
-1%
Both sales and profit decreased. In Japan, UV curable inks remained solid in applications for commercial printing and various types
of cards. Overseas, UV curable inks increased in volume but posted lower profit due to higher raw material costs and customer
losses. North America also posted lower profit due to the high base created by last year's election-related demand. However, overseas UV ink operations overall are expected to improve. Sales of functional coatings for paper containers grew, contributing to profit.
