Reason for revision

In Coke business, net sales is expected to exceed the previous forecast due to an increase in coke sales volume, but under the continuing downturn in market conditions, we were forced to produce Coke with high-priced raw material inventory that had been idle due to a fire accident, and the effects of major profit improvement measures will be realized in the second half of the fiscal year. Therefore, for the consolidated profit forecast for the six months of the fiscal year ending March 2026, operating profit, ordinary profit/loss, and net profit/loss attributable to parent company shareholders are expected to fall short of the forecast.

Regarding the consolidated performance forecast for the full fiscal year ending March 2026, we anticipate improvements in sales revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders, as the impact of the high-cost inventory is expected to improve in the second half and the effects of cost-saving measures are anticipated. We are continuing to explore options for optimizing future production capabilities, including measures to address aging furnaces.
