    1. Financial position and operating results

      During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, Japanese economy showed a gradual recovery against a backdrop of an improvement in the employment and income environment. Meanwhile, the situation has been unpredictable, mainly due to the impact of U.S. tariff policies on the business performances of certain manufacturing industries centered on the automobile industry, and an increase in tension between Japan and China. The forex market saw yen appreciation at the start of the fiscal year, mainly driven by uncertainty around the U.S. trade policies; however, the yen subsequently began to depreciate, mainly due to trends in the Japan-U.S. interest rate differential. Furthermore, oil prices remained soft overall, affected by background factors such as production policies by OPEC+ and the demand forecast. In the global economy, the outlook remains uncertain due to factors such as an economic slowdown against the backdrop of U.S. trade policies, stagnation of the Chinese economy, the prolonged situation between Russia and Ukraine, and the geopolitical risks surrounding the Middle East region.

      In the chemical industry, the business environment is undergoing irreversible changes, such as the continued influx of Chinese products into the Japanese and Asian markets as a result of sluggish Chinese domestic demand and oversupply, and the progression of large-scale business restructuring and collaborations aimed at strengthening competitiveness in the domestic petrochemicals business, among others. In response to these changes, the Company has been working to enhance profitability for its core businesses through the implementation of our business portfolio reform aimed at shifting to high-value-added businesses set out in the “New Medium-Term Management Plan 2025.” Additionally, it is also focusing on the continuous promotion of “Monozukuri Transformation” aimed at streamlining the entire supply chain and the promotion of “Production Restructuring” which works toward the divestiture, integration, and consolidation of production facilities, among others.

      Under these circumstances, net sales for the period under review decreased by 13.1% year on year to

      ¥96,600 million primarily due to the impact of withdrawal from the superabsorbent polymer business and intensified competition with low-cost products made in China. In terms of profit, operating profit was

      ¥7,558 million (an increase of 10.0% year on year) and ordinary profit was ¥9,393 million (an increase of 9.4% year on year), mainly due to an improvement in profitability resulting from the abovementioned business withdrawal and streamlining of the entire supply chain, as well as favorable conditions in the advanced semiconductor field. Additionally, profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥12,807 million (an increase of 251.8% year on year) mainly due to a recording of taxes expenses (profit), which includes income taxes and income taxes - deferred, resulting from careful consideration of the recoverability of deferred tax assets for the tax loss carry forwards and deductible temporary differences and the like carried over from the Company’s consolidated subsidiary SDP Global Co., Ltd. in connection with the absorption-type merger of said company.

      In the Toiletries segment and the Health Care segment, sales declined significantly as a result of the withdrawal from the superabsorbent polymer business.

      As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 50.0% year on year, to ¥12,976 million. Operating loss was ¥142 million (compared to operating profit of ¥209 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year).

      In the Petroleum segment, while demand for lubricant additives was strong, due to a temporary increase in demand in the same period of the previous fiscal year, sales remained flat.

      In the Automotives segment, sales decreased as the business environment became more challenging due to the inflow of low-cost products from overseas, which adversely affected the market for raw materials for polyurethane foams used in automobile seats and other applications, leading to sluggish sales both in Japan and overseas.

      As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 1.7% year on year, to ¥36,905 million. Operating profit was ¥4,376 million (an increase of 41.5% year on year).

      In the Plastics segment, although sales remained strong due to demand for permanent antistatic agents recovering, sales decreased due to sluggish sales of paint coating agents.

      In the Textiles segment, sales decreased because sales of chemicals for carbon fibers used in wind turbines for wind power generation were sluggish, despite demand for urethane resins for synthetic leather and elastomer fiber for automotive interior recovering.

      As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 3.9% year on year, to ¥19,643 million. Operating profit was ¥1,764 million (a decrease of 21.8% year on year).

      In the Information segment, sales of polymerization toner-related materials were weak, mainly due to the withdrawal from production operations in China. However, demand for toner resins showed a recovery trend, resulting in flat overall sales.

      In the Electrics/Electronics segment, sales of electrolyte for aluminum electrolytic capacitors had been sluggish for automotive applications due to the slow recovery of the EV market, but performed favorably following an increase in demand for the non-automotive market. In addition, as the advanced semiconductor market remained strong, sales of related materials increased, driving an increase in net sales.

      As a result, total net sales in this segment increased by 7.7% year on year, to ¥17,107 million. Operating profit was ¥2,622 million (an increase of 25.7% year on year).

      In the Environmental Protection segment, sales remained flat due to low demand for heavy metal immobilizers, despite favorable sales of cationic monomers used in polymer flocculants.

      In the Construction segment, sales decreased significantly as the business environment became more challenging due to the inflow of low-cost products from overseas, which adversely affected the market for raw materials for polyurethane foams used in furniture, insulation agents, and other applications.

      As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 11.9% year on year, to ¥9,966 million. Operating loss was ¥44 million (compared to operating profit of ¥40 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year).

      The Group’s financial position at the end of the period under review was as follows:

      Total assets increased by ¥16,843 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, amounting to

      ¥193,209 million.

      Net assets increased by ¥17,182 million from the end of the previous fiscal year, to ¥155,484 million. Equity ratio rose by 2.1 percentage points from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 78.9%.

    2. Cash flows

      Cash and cash equivalents (“cash”) as of the end of the period under review amounted to ¥30,871 million. This marked an increase of ¥6,860 million compared with the end of the previous fiscal year.

      The cash flow movements during the period under review and the factors influencing them were as follows:

      Cash flows from operating activities

      Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥15,059 million (compared to ¥9,441 million in net cash provided during the same period of the previous fiscal year). This result was mainly due to the cash inflow from profit before income taxes of ¥7,952 million and depreciation of ¥6,883 million, which outweighed the cash outflow mainly from income taxes paid of ¥1,559 million and payment for business restructuring of ¥1,173 million.

      Cash flows from investing activities

      Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥4,644 million (compared to ¥8,458 million in net cash used during the same period of the previous fiscal year). This result was mainly due to the cash outlay of

      ¥4,881 million for purchase of non-current assets.

      Cash flows from financing activities

      Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥4,535 million (compared to ¥11,475 million in net cash used during the same period of the previous fiscal year). This result was mainly due to the cash outflow from dividends paid of ¥3,750 million.

    3. Information concerning future forecast such as consolidated earnings forecasts

      Among the full-year consolidated earnings forecasts announced on November 5, 2025, profit attributable to owners of the parent is now expected to be lower than the forecast. The full-year consolidated earnings forecasts have therefore been revised as follows.

Significant changes in the scope of consolidation during the period

During the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, SDP Global Co., Ltd., which was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was dissolved in an absorption merger with the Company as the surviving company, and it has therefore been excluded from the scope of consolidation in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

Notes on significant changes in the amount of shareholders’ equity

None

Application of special accounting methods for the preparation of quarterly consolidated financial statements

(Calculation of income tax expense)

After applying tax effect accounting to profit before income taxes for the fiscal year, which includes the third quarter under review, the Company makes a reasonable estimate of the effective tax rate and multiplies the profit before income taxes by that estimated effective tax rate. However, if the calculation of tax using such estimated effective tax rate would significantly lack rationality, the statutory tax rate is used after adjusting for important items in profit before income taxes among items that are not categorized as temporary differences, etc. Furthermore, income tax adjustments are included in the presentation of income taxes.
