ー During the fourth quarter, losses were recorded in multiple businesses, including impairment loss at a super-pure hydrogen peroxide production subsidiary in Taiwan
ー We decided on PC production capacity reduction as part of structural reform of the PC business. We will continue to improve the profitability and capital efficiency of this business. As for other businesses that recorded a loss, we will quickly take measures to improve profitability
Site/Business | Details | Amount | Overview |
Super-pure hydrogen peroxide production subsidiary in Taiwan (MGC Pure Chemicals Taiwan, INC.) | Impairment loss | 10.6 billion yen | Recorded impairment loss on fixed assets due to ongoing severe profitability conditions caused by increased fixed costs with the new construction of a plant for raw material hydrogen peroxide, and delays in receiving certification from customer |
MGC's PC business (MGC's Kashima Plant, etc.) | Impairment loss | 5.3 billion yen | As part of the restructuring of the PC business- a business requiring intensive management-we decided to discontinue production at the PC plant of the Kashima Plant around March 2028. Accordingly, impairment loss was recorded for noncurrent assets related to the business |
Methanol production company in Trinidad and Tobago (Caribbean Gas Chemical Limited) | Impairment loss (*Recorded in non-operating expenses as share of loss of entities accounted for using the equity method) | 4.2 billion yen | Recorded impairment loss (7.4 billion yen) last time in FY2023. Subsequently, profitability did not improve, and further impairment loss was recorded |
MXDA production subsidiary in the Netherlands (MGC Specialty Chemicals Netherlands B.V.) | Impairment loss | 1.9 billion yen | Due to impairment loss recorded on non-current assets newly acquired in the fourth quarter, as well as a reassessment of foreign exchange valuation amounts previously recorded during FY2025 |
Losses on termination of construction work | 1.0 billion yen | Discontinuation of construction was decided in February 2026. Provision for removal of plant and other losses on termination of facility construction was recorded. From FY2026 onward, we expect to record contract penalty payments, however, the impact should be mitigated by a reduction in tax expenses due to recording deferred tax assets |

Impact of Middle East Situation
High fuel and raw material costs and supply chain disruption expected to continue for the time being (note)FY2026 Assumed crude oil prices: Full-year $90/bbl. (1H $100 /bbl., 2H $80/bbl.)
Based on the above assumptions, reflected the factors that can currently be incorporated into the forecast
Manufacturing costs are on a rising trend, but we will pass through costs to avoid a decline in profitability
Assumed exchange rate (FY): $1=¥155, €1=¥180
Sensitivity (USD, rough estimate): with an appreciation (depreciation) of ¥1 against the USD, annual operating profit falls (increases) by ¥0.5bn, while annual ordinary profit falls (increases) by ¥0.4bn
Sensitivity (EUR, rough estimate): with an appreciation (depreciation) of ¥1 against the EUR, annual operating profit falls (increases) by ¥0.1bn, while annual ordinary profit falls (increases) by ¥0.1bn.
Assumed crude oil prices (FY): $90/bbl. (Sensitivity is currently under reexamination) *Crude oil sensitivity in the FY2025 earnings forecasts was disclosed as $1/bbl. Drop (increase) in crude oil raises (reduces) income by 0.3bn yen/year
Methanol: Market price forecast at $375. ($1/MT increase (drop) in market price raises (reduces) equity in earnings of affiliates by ¥0.1 bn.)

Natural Gas | Methanol | Decreases in both net sales and earnings due mainly to lower market prices compared with the previous fiscal year. (FY2024 $334→FY2025 $317) | Full-year market prices of $375 are expected, reflecting improvement in supply and demand and impact of the Middle East situation. Earnings are expected to increase year on year as profit and loss are projected to improve due to rising market prices. | ||
Methanol and ammonia-based chemicals | Increased in earnings, despite lower sales prices, thanks to such positive factors as the higher sales volume of MMA-related products and lower fixed costs. | Earnings are expected to increase, driven by solid sales of MMA related products, despite an expected year on year increase in fixed costs. | |||
The energy resources and environme ntal business | Operating profit on par with the previous fiscal year, backed by the robustness of iodine sales, even though net sales declined due to the lower sales volume of LNG for power generation use. | Earnings are expected to decrease due to factors such as contracting spreads on LNG for power generation use and the electric power business, and increased fixed costs for the iodine-related business, etc. | |||
Aromatic | MXDA*,aro matic aldehydes and polymer materials * including derivatives | Decreased in net sales and earnings, reflecting such factors as intensifying competition and a resulting decline in sales prices, along with higher fixed costs. | Earnings are expected to increase, driven by MXDA demand recovery associated with response to aging infrastructure in Europe, and strong sales of aromatic aldehydes. Decrease in operation scale at the Netherlands site due to discontinued construction of the new plant. | ||
Xylene separators and derivatives | Decreased in net sales due to the withdrawal from the ortho-xylene chain. However, earnings from these offerings were on par with the previous fiscal year thanks to lower repair costs, with no major periodic repair conducted in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. | Profits are expected to decline due mainly to increased fixed costs in meta-xylene, despite expected improvement in the spread for PIA. | |||
FY2025 Results
Net sales, operating profit: Sales and profits are forecast to increase due to strong demand in BT materials, and brisk sales of products for advanced semiconductors (hybrid chemicals, OPETM)
Extraordinary loss: Impairment losses were recorded at inorganic chemical operations in Taiwan and China, along with impairment losses associated with discontinuation of PC production at MGC's Kashima Plant.
FY2026 Forecast
Net sales, operating profit: Sales and profits are forecast to grow, reflecting the effects of a recovery in demand for chemicals for use in semiconductor manufacturing, price revision and new expanded adoption of BT materials, and a decrease in depreciation following impairment of non-current assets in FY2025, despite expectation of increased fixed costs associated with growth investments in the inorganic chemicals and electronic materials fields.
