Notice of Extraordinary Loss (Impairment), Differences between 1H Forecasts/Results, and Revision of Full-Year Forecasts

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC) hereby announces the recording of extraordinary losses for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (July 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025). Moreover, differences have been recognized between the previous forecasts announced on August 7,2025 for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31,2026 and actual operating results announced today for the same period and, accordingly, MGC hereby discloses these differences. In addition, MGC announces the revision of its forecasts announced for full-year consolidated operating results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, which was announced on August 7, 2025, and full-year non-consolidated operating results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, which was announced on May 12, 2025. Details follow.

  1. Recording of Extraordinary Losses in Terms of Consolidated Operating Results

    As announced on September 17, 2025, MGC Specialty Chemicals Netherlands B.V. (MSCN), a Netherlands-based consolidated subsidiary of MGC, has temporarily suspended the construction of its meta-xylenediamine (MXDA) manufacturing facility due to the deterioration of the business environment. Given this, MGC has examined the recoverable value of noncurrent assets possessed by MSCN. As a result, MGC decided to record impairment losses totaling ¥50.2 billion for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

  2. Recording of Extraordinary Losses in Terms of Non-Consolidated Operating Results

    Taking the above into account, MGC recorded loss on valuation of shares of subsidiaries and associates totaling

    ¥29.9 billion as well as provision for loss on business of subsidiaries and associates totaling ¥21.9 billion as part of non-consolidated operating results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. These two items totaled ¥51.9 billion and were recognized as extraordinary losses. In addition, the above extraordinary losses are expected to be eliminated in the course of consolidation and, accordingly, have no impact on consolidated profit or loss.

  5. Reasons for Revisions

Main reasons for revising the forecasts as described above include a projection that full-year earnings will fall short of the previous forecasts due to the recording of impairment losses during the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The detail of the impairment losses is as presented in "1. Recording of Extraordinary Losses in Terms of Consolidated Operating Results" and "2. Recording of Extraordinary Losses in Terms of Non-Consolidated Operating Results" above.
