(1) Overview of Operating Results
During the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Japanese economy as a whole experienced a gradual recovery, driven by improvements in corporate profits as well as employment and income conditions. At the same time, the prices of raw materials and fuels have been affected by rising prices, the fluctuation of interest and exchange rates, U.S. trade policy, and ongoing geopolitical risks, such as the situation in the Middle East. As a result, the economic outlook remains uncertain.
Under these circumstances, the Group has begun implementing its new Medium-term Management Plan (fiscal year ended March 2026 to fiscal year ending March 2028). The basic policy of the plan is "130 years as a 'SHINKA' company
and ever evolving." The following provides a basic policy of the Medium-term Management Plan and the Group's initiatives to enhance its corporate value.SHINKA (sophistication) of technologies and research to expand our array of distinctive functional and environmentally friendly products and accelerate productivity improvement
The Group is utilizing its technologies and research and development capabilities to enhance added value and drive sales through the global expansion of the functional materials business, which is a growth business. The Group is increasing its sales of environmentally friendly products and improving productivity in the sustainable fiber materials business. The Group is generating synergies between both businesses in the areas of marketing and technology to expand them. The Company has begun renovating the Advanced Technology Center (previously known as the Kyoto R&D Center) to strengthen its innovation base and enhance its research and development capabilities.
In its functional materials business, the Group aims to boost sales and improve profitability, and to establish itself as a leader in functional materials, which include base materials for water treatment membrane support substrates, separators for energy storage devices, tape base paper, and filters. The Group is taking steps to achieve these goals, including focusing investments on growth areas and enhancing production efficiency at the Takasago, Kyoto, and Fuji Mills. The Group discontinued the operation of a paper milling machine and a converting machine at the Fuji Mill due to brand integration and equipment consolidation. Meanwhile, at our core Takasago Mill, we have fully launched the "Beyond" next-generation transformation project, aiming to evolve into a global core plant that leverages its unique technological capabilities. Mitsubishi HiTec Paper Europe GmbH, a consolidated subsidiary in Germany, offered a voluntary retirement program to enhance production efficiency. The Group will continue to advance these structural reforms of its businesses to increase profitability.
In the sustainable fiber materials business, the Group ceased the operation of the N1 paper milling machine at the Kitakami Mill and focuses on high-efficiency production machinery to reduce fixed costs, improve production efficiency, and enhance profitability. The Hachinohe Mill is carefully considering the project and then putting it into action step by step.
.
SHINKA (evolution) in our contributions to the global environment
The Group is accelerating initiatives aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. This includes improving fossil fuel energy intensity and driving a green transformation. The Group is also contributing to creating a recycling-oriented society by utilizing forestry resources, increasing the recycling rate of plastic resources, expanding operations that help achieve the SDGs, and pursuing initiatives to address the climate change risks.
Murabi Company Forest has been designated a Nature Symbiosis Site under the new Act on the Promotion of Activities for Biodiversity Enhancement by the Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Household paper brand nacre has won a 2026 Social Products Award. This product is made entirely from domestic wood pulp certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). It has been acclaimed for its environmental friendliness and local sourcing of raw materials. The Company is committed to contributing to creating environmental value and a sustainable global environment in accordance with the Mitsubishi Paper Mills Environmental Charter. This commitment includes the maintenance and preservation of biodiversity.
SHINKA (intemalization) of governance andhuman capital management
The Group is undergoing a governance hansformahon and seeks to enhance its human capital and oyanizational capabilihes.
After reflecting on the improper quality management of heat-resistant elechically insiilated pressboaid products, management has been visiting production facilities and subsidiaries to conduct briefings to increase awareness of the importance of qiuility management and compliance. On Novmnber 28, 2025, the Company announced that its system vas accessed withDilt authorizahon. The Co any collaborated with external experts to investigate the incident and proiiiptly implement riieasures to prevent any fiuther damage. This incident has not impacted the Company's business operations. To strengthen informaoon security. the Company all implement addiaonal measures to prevent fuhire incidents.
The Company has begun relocating certain head o&ce funchons (the Planning and Management Division) to the premises of the Kyoto Mill. The Kyoto Mill will be en innovation hub where research and development, piodiiction. planning, and ruanageriient functions are integrated. It w'ill playa central role in advancing future reforms.
TD enhance capital e8iciency and improve governance, the CDmpany will rediice its cross-shareholdings to 20% or less ofnet assets during the Mediiun-term Management Planperiod, in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code. To show' its appreciation for the ongoing support of its shareholders and to encoiuage them to hold the Company's stock ox-er the iuediiun to long to the Company has launched a shareholder benefit program (providing gifts of the CDmpany's hoiisehold paper products).

As a result, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year were 1 f7,455 million yen (does 10.5% year on year).
On the profitability side, the Company recorded a consolidated operating profit of 264 million yen (compared to 4,567 million yen in the previous fiscal year) anda consolidated ordinary pro fit of 1,720 million yen (compared to 4,548 million yen). These results are primarily athibutable to lDV'er raw rtiateiials and energy costs, as well as cost rediichons in the German business. These posihve factor were partially offset by losses from the earthquake that shuck off the east coast ofAoinoii Prefecture on December 8, 2025, an increase in large regular repairs at the Hachinohe Mill, issues arising from the aging of equipment, end a decrease in sales volumes in Germany. Profit attributable to o*ners ofparent was 1,900 million yen (compared to 4,343 million yen in the previous fiscal year), supported by gains from the sale of policy-held shares and other factors, despite the recording of restructuring costs for the German biisiness.
