Qualitative Information on Financial Results for the Term (1) Business Performance Performance Overview During the consolidated fiscal year under review (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026; the same applies hereinafter), the global economy saw the impact of US trade policies spread to various regions worldwide. The global economy nevertheless maintained generally solid growth, buoyed by robust US consumer spending, capital investment stemming from AI-related demand, and capital investment driven by improving corporate earnings and a recovery in personal consumption due to the improving employment and income environment in Japan, as well as by China's economic stimulus measures and stable personal consumption supported by a robust employment environment in Europe. Since March 2026, however, the outlook has remained uncertain due to rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East and elsewhere that have led to surging prices for certain raw materials and fuels. Against this backdrop, compared to the previous consolidated fiscal year (April 1, 2024 - March 31, 2025; same hereafter), sales revenue of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group (the MCG Group) decreased ¥243.6 billion, or 6.2% to ¥3,704.0 billion. In the profit front, core operating income declined ¥3.8 billion, or 1.7%, to ¥225.0 billion. Meanwhile, operating income was down ¥111.5 billion, or 78.8%, to ¥30.1 billion. Income before taxes decreased ¥98.5 billion, or 99.3%, to ¥0.7 billion. Net income attributable to owners of the parent dropped ¥33.2 billion, or 73.7% to ¥11.8 billion. Overview of Business Segments The overview of financial results by business segment for the consolidated fiscal year ended 2025 is shown below. Segment gains or losses are stated as core operating income, which excludes gains or losses from non-recurring factors such as losses from business withdrawals, streamlining, and other factors. Specialty Materials Segment In comparison with the previous fiscal year, sales revenue decreased ¥11.7 billion, to ¥1,059.6 billion and core operating income rose ¥8.4 billion, to ¥32.3 billion. In the Advanced Films & Polymers sub-segment, selling prices were maintained or increased, but revenue declined due to the transfer of shares in J-Film Corporation and the transfer of the triacetate fiber and other businesses, as well as the impact of customer inventory adjustments reflecting a decline in demand for display applications from the strong demand seen in the previous fiscal year. In the Advanced Solutions sub-segment, too, selling prices for a variety of products were maintained or raised, but revenue fell due to the transfer of shares in certain subsidiaries, a decrease in sales volume resulting from waning demand for EV applications in Europe and the United States, and a decline in sales volume for housing and construction materials, primarily in the domestic market. In the Advanced Composites & Shapes sub-segment, sales volume dropped due to the partial suspension of general-purpose firing lines in the carbon fiber business, but revenue was up due to rising demand for high-performance engineering plastics-primarily for semiconductor manufacturing equipment-as well as expanded sales of carbon fiber composite parts and favorable foreign exchange effects. Core operating income in this segment increased despite the recognition of an impairment loss on Soarnol-related fixed assets in the UK and cost increases due to inflation and other factors. This increase was due to the absence of the impairment losses on production facilities and intangible assets at Gelest, Inc. in the current fiscal year, an improvement in gross margins resulting from higher selling prices across semiconductor-related and other businesses, greater demand for high-performance engineering plastics-primarily for use in semiconductor manufacturing equipment-and higher sales of carbon fiber composite parts, and rationalization effects resulting from the revamping of production sites across numerous businesses. ―2-
