      Overview of Operating Results, Etc.

      1. Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year under Review
        1. Economic Environment and Initiatives

          During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (hereinafter referred to as the “fiscal year under review”), the Japanese economy continued its recovery trend with a pick-up in personal consumption due to an improvement in the income environment, and an increase in capital investment against the backdrop of robust corporate earnings and other factors. However, the outlook remained uncertain due to geopolitical risks arising from the escalating tension in the Middle East and the stalemate in Japan-China relations.

          Under these circumstances, Iwatani (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) expanded its business to achieve its basic policies of “solutions to social issues” and “sustained growth” in accordance with its five-year medium-term management plan, “PLAN27,” which started in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

          Amid the escalating tension in the Middle East, we worked to ensure stable supply for our customers such as by utilizing diversified procurement sources for LPG, while using storage facilities in Japan and overseas for helium.

          In order to realize a hydrogen energy-based society, Japan Suiso Energy, Ltd., an investee of the Company, signed a ship building contract with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. to build a 40,000m3 liquefied hydrogen carrier, which will be the largest in the world. We continue to work on initiatives to build a system able to steadily supply large volumes of hydrogen. In addition, jointly with OBAYASHI CORPORATION and Komatsu Ltd., we have conducted Japan’s first on-site proof-of-concept test for a medium-sized hydraulic excavator equipped with a fuel cell system. We will further develop equipment towards practical application and contribute to the expanded use of hydrogen in areas including construction sites, such as by giving consideration to large capacity and fast filling mobile hydrogen refueling systems.

          In our carbon-free strategies, for the cutting gas “Hydrocut” that mixes hydrogen and ethylene, we used hydrogen derived from renewable energy manufactured at the Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field and supplied the demolition work of welded tanks inside the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. This promotes the use of hydrogen through local production for local consumption and contributes to decarbonization of the manufacturing process stage.

          In our overseas strategies, Coburn Resources Pty Ltd, which the Company acquired in Australia, started producing mineral sands, while Nordic Mining ASA, an investee of the Company in Norway, also made progress in preparations to produce and ship green titanium ore. In addition, the Company is working to diversify the supply chain for critical mineral resources and to build a stable supply system for the future such as by investing in Caremag SAS of France and proceeding with the construction of a plant to refine rare earths.

        2. Earnings

        During the fiscal year under review, despite the negative impact of LPG import price fluctuations and the weakening of the helium market, the recording of a gain on sale of non-current assets resulted in net sales of

        908.522 billion yen (+25.510 billion yen year-on-year), operating profit of 38.318 billion yen (-7.903 billion yen year-on-year), ordinary profit of 55.220 billion yen (-6.260 billion yen year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 47.666 billion yen (+7.2 billion yen year-on-year).

      2. Segment Information Integrated Energy

        In the Integrated Energy Business, LPG import prices remained low, resulting in a decrease in revenue. As for profits, as LPG sales volume decreased in the wholesale sector despite improved profitability in the retail sector, and there was a negative impact of LPG import price fluctuations (-5.927 billion yen year-on-year), profit declined. Furthermore, despite the strong sales of energy-related equipment, sales of portable gas cooking stoves and cassette gas canisters remained sluggish in Japan and overseas.

        As a result, net sales in this segment were 367.732 billion yen (-11.050 billion yen year-on-year) and operating profit was 13.498 billion yen (-6.021 billion yen year-on-year).

        Industrial Gases & Machinery

        In the Industrial Gases & Machinery Business, sales of hydrogen and hydrogen-related equipment increased. In addition, sales volume of air separation gases remained strong for the electronic component and optical fiber industries. Meanwhile, the profitability of specialty gases declined due to the weakening of helium markets, and in the gas-related equipment, shipments of equipment for the automobile industry decreased.

        As a result, net sales in this segment were 288.730 billion yen (+17.280 billion yen year-on-year) and operating profit was 15.414 billion yen (-2.158 billion yen year-on-year).

        Materials

        In the Materials Business, sales grew as a result of efforts to ensure stable supply amid continued export restrictions from China on rare earths and other items. The sales of eco-friendly PET resin and food packaging resin products, in addition to biomass fuels and rechargeable battery materials, remained strong. In addition, sales of stainless steel increased due to the impact of new consolidation. On the other hand, the mineral sands business saw declining profitability of our mining sites in Australia, and sales volume of high-performance film materials decreased.

        As a result, net sales in this segment were 218.377 billion yen (+16.691 billion yen year-on-year) and operating profit was 11.613 billion yen (-0.134 billion yen year-on-year).

        Others

        Net sales were 33.681 billion yen (+2.588 billion yen year-on-year), and operating profit was 3.517 billion yen (+0.210 billion yen year-on-year).

      3. Overview of Financial Position for the Fiscal Year under Review Total Assets

        Total assets at the end of the fiscal year under review increased by 26.728 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 899.772 billion yen. This was mainly due to increases of 25.647 billion yen in investment securities and 7.570 billion yen in property, plant and equipment, respectively, despite a decrease of 11.390 billion yen in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets.

        Total Liabilities

        Total liabilities at the end of the fiscal year under review decreased by 25.058 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 450.777 billion yen. This was mainly due to decreases of 35.632 billion yen in “Other” under “Current liabilities,” including commercial papers, 7.086 billion yen in electronically recorded obligations -operating, 6.564 billion yen in notes and accounts payable - trade, and 6.388 billion yen in current portion of longterm borrowings, respectively, despite increases of 13.615 billion yen in short-term borrowings, 8.676 billion yen in deferred tax liabilities, and 8.634 billion yen in long-term borrowings, respectively.

        Interest-bearing debt, including lease liabilities, etc., at the end of the fiscal year under review decreased by 17.088 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 247.358 billion yen.

        Total Net Assets

        Total net assets at the end of the fiscal year under review increased by 51.786 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 448.995 billion yen. This was mainly due to increases of 32.188 billion yen in retained earnings, 12.5 billion yen in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities, and 4.096 billion yen in foreign currency translation adjustment, respectively.

      4. Overview of Cash Flows for the Fiscal Year under Review

        Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter referred to as “cash”) at the end of the fiscal year under review increased by

        0.072 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 27.660 billion yen.

        (Operating Activities)

        Net cash provided by operating activities in the fiscal year under review increased in revenue by 6.712 billion yen from the previous fiscal year to 59.132 billion yen. This was mainly due to an increase in cash resulting from profit before income taxes of 70.712 billion yen, depreciation of 30.667 billion yen and a decrease in accounts receivable

        - trade, and contract assets of 12.683 billion yen, and a decrease in cash resulting from income taxes paid of 20.782 billion yen, a decrease in trade payables of 15.222 billion yen, share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method of 12.198 billion yen, and a gain on sale and retirement of non-current assets of 11.141 billion yen.

        (Investing Activities)

        Net cash used in investing activities in the fiscal year under review decreased in expenditure by 34.629 billion yen from the previous fiscal year to 23.784 billion yen. This was mainly due to an increase in cash resulting from the sale of property, plant and equipment of 23.389 billion yen, and a decrease in cash resulting from the purchase of property, plant and equipment of 38.380 billion yen and the purchase of intangible assets of 7.430 billion yen.

        (Financing Activities)

        Net cash used in financing activities in the fiscal year under review increased in expenditure by 35.050 billion yen from the previous fiscal year to 37.067 billion yen. This was mainly due to an increase in cash resulting from a net increase in borrowings of 14.812 billion yen, and a decrease in cash resulting from a net decrease in commercial papers of 33.0 billion yen and dividends paid of 16.204 billion yen.

    The future outlook is uncertain with ongoing concerns about the impact of the escalating tensions in the Middle East, despite projections that a gradual recovery will persist due to robust capital investment in addition to rising personal consumption accompanying improvement in the income environment.

    In the Integrated Energy Business, we continue to work on stable supply of LPG, which is an important part of the energy infrastructure. Moreover, we will work to increase the number of LPG direct sales customers through M&A and other such initiatives, and will strive to improve profitability by streamlining logistics. With regard to the transition to low-carbon energy, we will promote the development of green LPG, in addition to the encouragement of fuel conversion and sale of carbon offset LPG. For portable gas cooking stoves and cassette gas canisters, we aim to expand our business in Japan and overseas through the development of new products and other measures.

    In the Industrial Gases & Machinery Business, we will strengthen measures to cope with the rising procurement and logistics cost and enhance the establishment of a stable supply system of air separation gases and specialty gases, and focus our efforts on expanding sales to the optical fiber and electronic component industries, which are expected to grow. In addition, in order to realize a hydrogen energy-based society, we will promote business development of low-carbon hydrogen supply chains in addition to reinforcing our sales of hydrogen and ammonia in relation to decarbonization.

    In the Materials Business, we will commence sales of green titanium ore produced in Norway and promote the recycled PET business. In the stainless steel business, we will seek to expand the business scale by leveraging our processing locations in Japan. In the Australian mineral sands business, we will work on improving stable operation and increasing productivity, including newly acquired mining areas. In Europe, the United States, and Asia, we will strengthen efforts to ensure stability of critical mineral resources.

    As a result, regarding the consolidated financial results forecast for the next fiscal year, we are expected to achieve net sales of 960.0 billion yen (up 5.7% year-on-year), operating profit of 48.8 billion yen (up 27.4% year-on-year), ordinary profit of 59.0 billion yen (up 6.8% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 45.5 billion yen (down 4.5% year-on-year).

  2. Basic Policy on Earnings Distribution and Dividend for FY2025 and FY2026

The Company’s basic policy on earnings distribution calls for meeting shareholders expectations by maximizing corporate value in various ways, including investing to support growth strategies while returning earnings to shareholders through stable and uninterrupted dividend payments. The Medium-Term Management Plan “PLAN27” targets a payout ratio of 20% or higher in FY2027, which is the final fiscal year of the Plan, based on profit* excluding impact of LPG import price fluctuations, and strives for progressive dividend payout without any dividend rollbacks.

Based on the policy presented above, the Company plans to pay a dividend of 23.50 yen per share with respect to the year-end dividend for the fiscal year under review. As a result, the annual dividend will be 47 yen per share, including the interim dividend of 23.50 yen.

For the next fiscal year, the Company plans to pay a dividend of 47 yen per share (consisting of an interim dividend and a year-end dividend, each amounting to 23.50 yen per share).

Note: *Profit attributable to owners of parent

Basic Policy on Selection of Accounting Standards

For the time being, the Group’s policy is to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Japanese GAAP, taking into consideration the comparability of consolidated financial statements from period to period and the comparability among companies. The Group’s policy is to adopt IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as appropriate, taking into consideration various conditions in Japan and overseas.

(Notes to Changes in Accounting Policies) (Changes in method of valuating inventories)

Previously, the Company principally used the first-in first-out method for valuation of products related to the Integrated Energy Business. From the third quarter of the current fiscal year, however, the Company has changed the principal method to the gross average method. This change was made with the purpose of more appropriately calculating the valuation of inventories and periodic profit or loss on the occasion of changes to the core system. Furthermore, since a portion of the required data for previous fiscal years is not available and the principle-based treatment pertaining to the retrospective application is not practically possible, the carrying amount at the end of the previous fiscal year is calculated as the balance at the beginning of the current fiscal year.

Additionally, this change has been applied since the third quarter of the current fiscal year, when the core system began operation. The impact of this change is immaterial.

(Notes to Segment Information, Etc.)

  1. General information about reportable segments

    2. Adjustments for segment assets is mainly assets in cash, deposits and investments in securities of the Company along with general and administrative departments of the Company.

    3. Adjustments for depreciation and amortization are mainly depreciation and amortization for general and administrative departments of the Company.

    4. Adjustments for impairment loss on fixed assets are mainly impairment loss within the general and administrative departments of the Company.

    5. Adjustments for increases in fixed assets and intangible assets are increases in fixed assets and intangible assets for general and administrative departments of the Company.

    6. “Depreciation and amortization” and “Increase in fixed assets and intangible assets” include long-term prepaid expenses and their amortization.

*3. Segment income is adjusted with operating profit of the consolidated statements of income.

*4. The Company finalized the provisional accounting treatment for business combination in the fiscal year under review. As a result, figures for the previous fiscal year reflect the finalization of the provisional accounting treatment.

(Notes on Business Combinations, Etc.)

(Significant revision of the initial allocation of acquisition costs in comparative information)

Although the Company applied provisional accounting treatment for the business combination with ISG, Inc. conducted on November 29, 2024, in the previous fiscal year, it finalized the provisional accounting treatment in the fiscal year under review. As a result of accordingly having finalized the provisional accounting treatment, significant revisions to the amount initially allocated to acquisition cost have been reflected in the comparative information included in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review.

Consequently, the provisionally calculated amount of goodwill, initially 4,082 million yen, has decreased by 1,872 million yen due to the finalization of the accounting treatment, resulting in a revised amount of 2,210 million yen. The decrease in goodwill was due to increases of 2,729 million yen in other intangible assets (customer-related intangible assets) and 856 million yen in deferred tax liabilities.

In addition, on the consolidated balance sheet for the previous fiscal year, goodwill decreased by 1,802 million yen, while other intangible assets (customer-related intangible assets), deferred tax liabilities, and retained earnings increased by 2,653 million yen, 833 million yen, and 17 million yen, respectively.

The impact on the consolidated statements of income for the previous fiscal year is immaterial.
