1. Reporting Entity

   Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited (hereinafter, the "Company") is a company domiciled in Japan. The address of the Company's registered head office and main places of business are presented on the Company's website (URL https://www.sumitomo-chem.co.jp/english/).

   The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the "Group") have a closing date as of March 31 and comprise the financial statements of the Group and the interests in associates and jointly controlled entities of the Group.

   The Group is primarily involved in the manufacturing and sale of "Agro & Life Solutions", "ICT & Mobility Solutions", "Advanced Medical Solutions", "Essential & Green Materials", and "Sumitomo Pharma" products. Details of these businesses are presented in Note 6 Segment Information.

2. Basis of Preparation
   1. Compliance with IFRS

      The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter, "IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The provision of Article 312 of the Ordinance on Terminology, Forms, and Preparation Methods of Consolidated Financial Statements applies, as the Company meets the requirements for a "Specified Company Applying Designated International Financial Reporting Standards" prescribed in Article 1-2-1 of said ordinance.

      The Group's consolidated financial statements were approved on June 22, 2026 by Nobuaki Mito, Representative Director & President.

   2. Basis of measurement

      As presented in 3. Material Accounting Policies, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, the Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

   3. Functional currency and presentation currency

   The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese yen, which is the Company's functional currency, rounded to the nearest million yen.

3. Material Accounting Policies
   1. Basis of consolidation

      ➀ Subsidiaries

      Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group has control over an entity if it has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Accordingly, even in cases where the Group does not own the majority of voting rights of an entity, if the Group is deemed to effectively control its decision-making body, the entity is treated as a subsidiary.

      The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which it is lost.

      Subsidiaries' financial statements are adjusted, if necessary, when their accounting policies differ from those of the Group. All intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

      A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Differences between adjusted non-controlling interest amounts and fair value of the considerations are recognized directly as equity attributed to owners of the parent. In the event of a loss of control, any gain or loss arising from a loss of control is recognized in profit or loss.

      In the case when the closing date of a subsidiary is different from that of the Group, financial statements that are prepared provisionally as of the consolidated closing date are used for such subsidiaries.

      ② Associates and joint control arrangements

      Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence over the financial and operating policies but does not have control or joint control. The Group is presumed to have significant influence over another entity when it holds at least 20% of the voting rights of that entity. In assessing whether the Group has significant influence, other factors are also considered, including representation on the Board of Directors. In such cases, the Group may be deemed to have significant influence over an entity even if it holds less than 20% of the voting rights of that entity.

      Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in joint control arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

      Investments in associates and equity interests in joint ventures are initially recognized at acquisition cost, and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates and joint ventures include goodwill identified on acquisition.

      If the Group holds an interest in a joint operation, the Group recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses generated from the joint operation.

      Financial statements of associates, joint ventures and joint operations are adjusted, if necessary, when their accounting policies differ from those of the Group.

      When it is impracticable to unify the closing date of associates, joint ventures and joint operations due to certain reasons, such as relationships with other shareholders, significant transactions or events between the closing date of the Group and that of the said entities' financial statements are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

      The Company assesses whether there is any indication that investments in associates and joint ventures may be impaired, and if there is an indication of impairment, the Company performs an impairment test. The recoverable amount is calculated using fair value, for which market price is used.

   2. Business combinations

      The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration of acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed and equity securities issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.

      Identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree, excluding the following items, are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

      ・Deferred tax assets/liabilities, and assets/liabilities related to employee benefits;

      ・Share-based payment contracts of the acquiree; and

      ・Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

      Goodwill is recognized as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Conversely, any shortfall is immediately recognized as gain in profit or loss.

      Non-controlling interests are initially measured either at fair value or at a proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

      Acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations, such as advisory fees, attorney fees and due diligence costs, are expensed as incurred.

      If the initial accounting for business combination has not been completed by the reporting date in which the business combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the incomplete items. Those provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date are retrospectively adjusted if new information obtained within one year from the acquisition date (hereinafter, "measurement period") would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized on the acquisition date.

      If a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value, and recognizes any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

      Some changes in the fair value of contingent consideration after the acquisition are adjusted against the recognized consideration if it is regarded as the above-mentioned measurement period adjustment; otherwise, it is recognized as a change in fair value in profit or loss.

      Additional acquisition of non-controlling interests is accounted for as an equity transaction, and therefore goodwill is not recognized with respect to such a transaction.

   3. Foreign currency conversions

      ➀ Foreign currency transactions

      Foreign currency transactions are converted into the respective functional currencies at the spot exchange rate at the date of transaction.

      Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the reporting date.

      Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are converted into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate at the date of transaction.

      Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value is determined.

      Exchange differences arising from conversions and settlements are recognized in profit or loss. However, exchange differences arising from equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedge is effective are recognized in other comprehensive income.

      ② Financial statements of foreign operations

      Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are converted into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rate at the reporting date. Income and expenses are converted into Japanese yen at the average exchange rate, except when the exchange rate fluctuates significantly. Exchange differences arising from conversion of financial statements of the foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income.

      In the case of disposal of foreign operations, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences related to that foreign operation, which is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gains or losses on disposal are recognized.

   4. Financial instruments

      ➀ Non-derivative financial assets

      1. Initial recognition and measurement

         The Group initially recognizes trade receivables and other receivables at the date of occurrence. All other financial assets are recognized initially on the transaction date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

         The Group classifies its financial assets as follows upon initial recognition:

         1. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

            A financial asset is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

            ・The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

            ・Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

         2. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (financial assets measured at FVTOCI)

            ・Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

            A debt instrument meeting both of the following conditions is classified as a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

            1. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

            2. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

               ・Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

               For certain equity instruments held primarily for the purpose of maintaining or strengthening the business relationships with investees, the Group elects these instruments as fair value through other comprehensive income at initial recognition.

         3. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial assets measured at FVTPL)

            Financial assets designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss and other than financial assets mentioned in (a) and (b), are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

            Except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

      2. Subsequent measurement

         After initial recognition, financial assets are measured based on the following classifications:

         1. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

            These financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest income from these financial assets measured at amortized cost is included in finance income in the consolidated statement of income.

         2. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

            Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

            However, dividends from the equity instruments that are designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in finance income when the Group's right to receive payment of the dividends is established. Also, accumulated other comprehensive income in "Other components of equity" is transferred to retained earnings when the fair value of financial assets declines significantly or when financial assets are derecognized.

            Interests accrued on debt instruments are recognized in finance income in the consolidated statement of income. Also, accumulated other comprehensive income in "Other components of equity" is transferred to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments when such instruments are derecognized.

         3. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

            Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

      3. Derecognition of financial assets

         The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Group transfers the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

      4. Impairment

         At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a financial asset measured at amortized cost, a debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or a financial guarantee contract has increased significantly since the initial recognition.

         The Group measures an allowance for doubtful accounts for financial assets at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on those financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial assets has not significantly increased since the initial recognition, the Group measures an allowance for doubtful accounts for financial assets at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. However, the Group always measures an allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade and other receivables without a significant financial component. When determining whether the credit risk of the financial asset has significantly increased since initial recognition, the Group evaluates by comparing the risk of a default occurring on the financial assets at each reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial assets at the date of initial recognition. The Group makes judgement based on reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions as far as it is available without excessive cost or effort, such as the following.

         1. Internal credit rating

         2. External credit rating (if available)

         3. Actual or expected significant change in the results of the borrower's performance

         4. Actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory environment, economic environment or technological environment that causes a significant change in the borrower's ability to fulfill its obligation

         5. Significant increase in credit risk of the other financial instruments of the same borrower

         6. Significant change in the value of collateral underlying debt, third-party guarantee or credit enhancement

            The Group measures a credit loss using the difference between the discounted present value of the contractual amount receivable and the estimated amount receivable, and recognizes it in profit or loss.

            ② Non-derivative financial liabilities

            1. Initial recognition and measurement

               The Group initially recognizes financial liabilities when the Group becomes a contractual party. Financial liabilities, excluding the following items, are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost at the initial recognition.

               1. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial liabilities measured at FVTPL)

               2. Financial guarantee contracts

               3. Contingent consideration associated with business combination

                  All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are measured at fair value after deducting transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial liabilities.

            2. Subsequent measurement

               After initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured based on the following classifications:

               1. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

                  These financial liabilities are measured at fair value and their changes are recognized in profit or loss.

               2. Financial guarantee contracts

                  Financial guarantee contracts are measured at the higher of the following.

                  ・The amount of allowance for doubtful accounts calculated based on the above (iv) Impairment

                  ・The amount initially recognized less accumulated amortization

               3. Contingent consideration associated with business combination

                  Contingent consideration associated with business combination is measured at fair value and its changes are recognized in profit or loss.

               4. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

                  These financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses from these financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are included in finance expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

            3. Derecognition

            The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when they are extinguished; i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled, or expires.

            ③ Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

            The Group uses derivatives, such as forword exchange contracts, to hedge foreign currency risk, etc. For certain forward sales transactions, the Group makes an irrevocable designation as financial instruments to be measured at fair value through profit or loss at the inception of contracts only when it removes or significantly reduces accounting mismatch; they are included in financial instruments as derivatives. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value when contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.

            Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in profit or loss. However, gains or losses on cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective are recognized in other comprehensive income.

            At the inception of the hedge, the Group formally designates and documents hedging relationships to which hedge accounting applies and the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedges. The documentation includes identifying hedging instruments, the hedged items or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the effectiveness of hedging instruments is assessed in offsetting the exposures to the changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items attributable to hedged risks. The Group evaluates whether a derivative used to hedge a transaction is effective to offset the change in fair value or cash flows of a hedged item at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis.

            1. Fair value hedges

               Changes in fair value of hedging instruments are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of hedged items attributable to the hedged risks adjust carrying amounts of hedged items and are recognized in profit or loss.

            2. Cash flow hedges

            The effective portion of gains or losses on hedging instruments is recognized in other comprehensive income as cash flow hedges and the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss.

            After that, accumulated gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments in the same period when cash flows arising from the hedged items affect profit or loss. When the hedged items result in recognition of a non-financial asset, the accumulated gains and losses through other comprehensive income are reclassified and included directly in the initial cost of the non-financial asset.

            Hedge accounting is discontinued when a forecast transaction is not highly probable to occur. Furthermore, if a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the accumulated amount recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss.

   5. Cash and cash equivalents

      Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash and are subjected to insignificant risks of changes in value, and whose maturities are three months or less from the date of acquisition.

   6. Inventories

      Inventories are measured at the lower of acquisition cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make a sale. Acquisition cost is mainly calculated by the periodic average method and comprises purchase costs, processing costs, and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

   7. Property, plant and equipment (except for right-of-use assets)

      Property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

      The acquisition cost includes direct costs of acquisition, estimated costs of dismantlement, land removal and restoration, and borrowing costs that must be capitalized.

      Depreciation of assets other than land and construction in progress is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

      The estimated useful lives of major categories of assets are as follows:

      ・Buildings and structures 5-60 years

      ・Machinery, equipment and vehicles 4-12 years

      Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each fiscal year-end, and any revisions are applied prospectively as changes in accounting estimate.

   8. Goodwill and intangible assets

      ➀ Goodwill

      Goodwill arising on the acquisition of business is recognized and initially measured as stated in (2) Business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at every reporting period and whenever there is an indication that it may be impaired.

      An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and is not reversed in subsequent periods.

      Goodwill is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position at the amount calculated by deducting accumulated impairment losses from acquisition cost.

      As for investee accounted for by using the equity method, goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.

      ② Intangible assets

      Intangible assets are measured at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Individually acquired intangible assets are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Research expenses of an internal project are recognized as cost when they are incurred. Development expenses of an internal project are recognized as intangible assets only when they satisfy all the recognition criteria.

      Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Intangible assets recorded as in-process research and development that are not yet available for use are not amortized, and are tested for impairment at every reporting period or whenever there is an indication of impairment. They are reclassified to patent, marketing rights, or other related accounts when marketing approval from regulatory authorities is obtained and are amortized when they become available for use. Estimated useful lives of major categories of assets are as follows;

      ・Patents 3-20 years

      ・Software 3-10 years

      Estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization method are reviewed at each fiscal year-end, and any revisions are applied prospectively as changes in accounting estimate.

   9. Leases

      The Group determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

      The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the commencement date of the lease, when it has determined whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.

      ➀ Right-of-use assets

      Right-of-use assets are measured at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The acquisition cost comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities adjusted for initial direct costs, plus any costs including restoration obligations of the underlying assets. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of their useful lives and lease terms. Right-of-use assets are included in "Property, plant and equipment" in the consolidated statement of financial position.

      ② Lease liabilities

      Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid as of the lease commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate is used. After the commencement date, lease liabilities are measured by increasing the carrying amounts to reflect interests on the lease liabilities and by reducing the carrying amounts to reflect lease payment made.

      The lease liabilities are included in "Other financial liabilities" in the consolidated statement of financial position.

      In addition, the Group has applied IFRS 16 paragraph 6 for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, and recognized these lease payments as expenses using the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

   10. Impairment of non-financial assets

       The Group assesses whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired at the end of each reporting date. If there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. For goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated annually at a consistent time in each year, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment.

       The recoverable amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (hereinafter, "CGU") is the higher of its value in use or its fair value less disposal costs. In determining value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of each asset individually for the impairment test, such assets are integrated into the smallest CGU that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill would be allocated are aggregated when necessary so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is

       monitored. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the (group of) CGU(s) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.

       Group corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the (group of) CGU(s) to which the corporate assets belong is measured.

       If the carrying amount of assets or the (group of) CGU(s) exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. The impairment loss recognized for the (group of) CGU(s) is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit, and subsequently to other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

       An impairment loss recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of assets other than goodwill, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that the losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or the (group of) CGU(s) is estimated. In cases in which the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the asset or the (group of) CGU(s), the impairment loss is reversed up to the carrying amount less depreciation or amortization that would have been determined if no impairment losses had been recognized in prior periods.

   11. Employee benefits

       ➀ Post-retirement benefits

       The Group sponsors defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans as post-retirement benefits.

       The Group uses the projected unit credit method to determine the present value of its defined benefit obligation and the related current and past service costs.

       The discount rates are determined by referring to the market yield at the fiscal year-end on high-quality corporate bonds for the corresponding periods in which the retirement benefits are to be paid.

       The amount of the net defined benefit liability/asset is calculated by deducting the fair value of plan assets from the present value of defined benefit obligation. However, if the defined benefit plans are overfunded, net defined benefit assets are capped at the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

       Remeasurements of defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income and immediately reclassified to retained earnings in the periods in which they occur.

       Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss for the periods in which they are incurred.

       Payments to defined contribution plans are recognized as expenses in the periods that employees render services.

       ② Short-term employee benefits

       Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis, and are recognized as expenses when the related service is rendered.

       For bonuses and paid absence expenses, when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments, and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made, the estimated amount to be paid based on these plans is accounted for as a liability.

       ③ Other long-term employee benefits

       Long-term benefit obligations other than post-retirement benefit plans include special paid leaves and bonuses granted conditional on a certain period of employment. Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future benefits that are expected to be paid by the Group in exchange for the services rendered by employees up to the reporting date.

   12. Provisions

       Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal obligation or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are stated at the present value of the estimated future cash flows that are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate reflecting the time value of money and the specific risks of the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision to reflect the passage of time is recognized as finance expenses.

       ➀ Provisions for sales rebates

       Provisions for sales rebates mainly related to public programs and contracts with wholesalers are provided based on the amounts expected to be paid subsequent to the fiscal year-end date.

       ② Provisions for asset retirement obligations

   13. Revenue

       ➀ Revenue from contracts with customers

       The Group recognizes revenue when the Group transfers promised goods or services to a customer and the customer obtains control of those goods or services based on the following five-step model.

       Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer

       Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price

       Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

       The Group mainly engages in businesses of such segments as "Agro & Life Solutions", "ICT & Mobility Solutions" , "Advanced Medical Solutions", "Essential & Green Materials", and "Sumitomo Pharma". For sales of products, the performance obligation is judged to have been satisfied and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the products, because the customer obtains control over the products upon delivery. Revenue is measured at the consideration promised in a contract with a customer, less product returns, discounts, rebates and other items to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

       ② Interest income

       Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.

       ③ Dividends

       Dividends are recognized when a right to receive dividend payments is established.

   14. Income taxes

       Income taxes consist of current taxes and deferred taxes. They are recognized as income or expenses and included in profit or loss, except for those related to business combinations and items that are recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

       Current taxes are measured in the amount of the expected tax payable to or receivable from the tax authorities. Calculation of the tax amount is based on the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in countries where the Group conducts business and earns taxable income.

       Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets or liabilities and their tax bases, tax loss carryforwards and tax credits at the reporting date.

       Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized for the following temporary differences:

       ・Temporary differences arising from initial recognition of goodwill.

       ・Temporary differences arising from initial recognition of assets and liabilities from transactions other than business combinations that affect neither accounting income nor taxable income, and do not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of the transaction.

       ・Taxable temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint control arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

       Deferred tax liabilities are recognized, in principle, for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, the carryforwards of unused net operating losses and the carryforwards of unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized against future taxable income.

       The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed each period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realize benefits from all or part of the assets. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

       Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates and tax laws that are expected to apply to the period when the assets are realized or the liabilities are settled based on the statutory tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

       Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and income taxes are levied by the same taxation authority and on the same taxable entity.

       The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries have adopted the group tax sharing system.

       The Group has applied the temporary relief of the "International Tax Reform-Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS12)" announced in May 2023, and does not recognize or disclose deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules announced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

   15. Earnings per share

       Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential shares. When there are potential shares that have an antidilutive effect, such potential shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

   16. Capital

       Ordinary shares are classified as capital.

       Treasury shares are recognized at acquisition cost and deducted from equity. No gains or losses are recognized on the purchase, sale or retirement of the Company's treasury shares. Any differences between the carrying amount and consideration received on the sale of treasury shares are recognized in capital surplus.

   17. Share-based payment

       The Company has introduced a restricted stock compensation plan as a system of incentives for the Company's Board of Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and Outside Directors) and executive officers not concurrently serving as members of the Board of Directors (excluding non-residents of Japan). Compensation under the restricted stock compensation plan is measured with reference to the fair value of the Company's common shares granted as of the grant date, and is expensed from the day when the shares are granted through the vesting period, with the same amount recognized as an increase in equity.

   18. Assets held for sale

       The Group classifies a non-current asset or disposal group that will be recovered principally through a sales transaction rather than through continuing use as assets held for sale only when it is highly probable that the sale will occur and the asset or asset group is available for immediate sale in its present condition.

       Non-current assets or asset group classified as assets held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

       Fixed assets and intangible assets classified assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortized. Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented separately from other assets and liabilities as current items in the consolidated statement of financial position.

   19. Changes in presentation

   (Consolidated statement of cash flows)

   "Gains on business transfers," which was included in "Others, net" under "Cash flows from operating activities" in the previous fiscal year, is presented separately in this fiscal year due to increased quantitative materiality. "Increase in loan receivables" under "Cash flows from investing activities," which was presented separately in the previous fiscal year, is included in "Others, net" in this fiscal year due to decreased quantitative materiality. As a result, "Others, net" of ¥53,416 million under "Cash flows from operating activities" has been reclassified as "Gains on business transfers" of ¥(56,653) million and "Others, net" of ¥110,069 million. In addition, "Increase in loan receivables" of ¥(86) million and "Others, net" of

   ¥(692) million under "Cash flows from investing activities" have been reclassified as "Others, net" of ¥(778) million.

4. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

   Management has made a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions relating to the application of accounting policies, and reporting of income, expenses, assets and liabilities in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Actual results may materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements for FY2026 due to the uncertainties in these estimates and judgments.

   Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated. The effect of changes to accounting estimates is recognized in the reporting period in which the changes are made and in future periods.

   Judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the management that could materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements are included in the following notes:

   ・Impairment of non-financial assets (Note 16 Impairment of Non-financial Assets);

   ・Assessment of investments in associates (Note 17 Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method);

   ・Recoverability of deferred tax assets (Note 18 Income Taxes);

   ・Measurement of provisions (Note 25 Provisions); and

   ・Fair value of financial instruments (Note 36 Financial Instruments).

The impact of applying the new IFRS standards on the Group is currently being assessed and cannot be estimated at this time.

6. Segment Information
   1. Summary (or outline / overview) of reportable segments

      The reportable segments of the Group refer to business units for which separate financial information is available and that are reviewed regularly at the Board of Directors meeting in order to determine the allocation of management resources and evaluate the business performance of each business unit.

      The Group divides its operations into business sectors identified by products and services, which manage manufacturing, sales, and research in an integrated manner. Each business sector is responsible for developing comprehensive domestic and overseas strategies with respect to its products and services, and operates its business activities.

      Principally in accordance with the business sectors, the Group consists of the five reportable segments based on its products and services: "Agro & Life Solutions", "ICT & Mobility Solutions", "Advanced Medical Solutions", "Essential & Green Materials", and "Sumitomo Pharma".

      The major products and services of each reportable segment are as follows:

      Note 1: The amortization of intangible assets is included in "Cost of sales" and "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statement of income.

      Note 2: The assets that are at the research and development stage and have yet to obtain marketing approval from regulatory authorities are not able to be used and the period in which they could deliver economic benefit is unforeseeable, therefore, the assets are classified as intangible assets of which amortization has not started. In addition, there exists a risk of impairment losses to be incurred due to failure in product commercialization due to the inherent uncertainties in the research and development processes, and due to a decrease in the profitability associated with changes in market environment and other factors. The carrying amounts of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are ¥710 million and ¥463 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

      Note 3: "Others" includes customer-related assets for Agro & Life Solutions segment, marketing rights for Sumitomo Pharma segment and others.

   3. Research and development costs

   Research and development costs recognized in the consolidated statement of income are ¥144,661 million and ¥145,192 million for FY2025 and FY2024, respectively.

6. Impairment of Non-financial Assets
   1. Impairment losses Fiscal year 2025

      Impairment losses recognized for FY2025 are ¥34,607 million. Impairment losses are recognized in "Cost of sales," "Selling, general and administrative expenses" and "Other operating expenses" in the consolidated statement of income. Details of the impairment losses by reportable segments are presented in Note 6 Segment Information.

      The major CGU for which impairment losses are recognized is as follows:

      Millions of yen Location Usage Class of assets Reportable segment Impairment losses

      Essential & Green Materials

      Chiba,

      Japan

      production facilities and common facilities

      Machinery and vehicles, etc.

      Essential & Green

      Materials, etc.

      ¥ 17,600

      Details of the impairment losses

      ・Essential & Green Materials production facilities and common facilities ¥17,600 million

      (Buildings and structures ¥4,100 million; Machinery and vehicles ¥10,252 million; Others ¥3,248 million)

      In the Essential & Green Materials segment, etc., the entire carrying amount of Essential & Green Materials production facilities at Chiba Works was impaired mainly because of a decline in profitability due to a deterioration in the business environment. The recoverable amount in the impairment test was measured at value in use, and the disclosure of discount rate is omitted because the future cash flows are negative. Additionally, for common facilities at Chiba Works, because the recoverable amount was less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount was impaired to the recoverable amount of

      ¥3,515 million. The recoverable amount in the impairment test uses value in use, which was calculated by discounting future cash flows at a discount rate of 10.6% (before taxes).

      The major items of individually immaterial impairment losses are related to tangible assets such as machinery, equipment, and vehicles, and intangible assets, such as goodwill, in the Company's business. Impairment losses are recorded because the recoverable amount was less than the carrying amount due to factors including a decline in forecasted revenue.

      At impairment tests for property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets, the recoverable amount is measured as the higher of its value in use or its fair value less costs of disposal after CGUs are determined. The assumptions used to measure the fair value less costs of disposal, or the assumptions, discount rates, and other factors used to estimate future cash flows expected during the period in use and upon their disposal after use for CGUs, which are the basis for measuring the value in use, might be affected by uncertain future changes in economic conditions.

      Fiscal year 2024

      Impairment losses recognized for FY2024 are ¥26,312 million. Impairment losses are recognized in "Cost of sales," "Selling, general and administrative expenses" and "Other operating expenses" in the consolidated statement of income. Details of the impairment losses by reportable segments are presented in Note 6 Segment Information.

      In the Agro & Life Solutions segment, in accordance with the sale of shares in Chinese subsidiaries, the entire carrying amount of the property, plant, and equipment was impaired because the sales price was expected to be lower than the carrying amount. In the impairment test, the recoverable amount was measured based on the fair value less costs of disposal, and the fair value less costs of disposal was based on the sales price. Because the valuation technique uses inputs that are not observable market data, the fair value less costs of disposal is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

      In the Advanced Medical Solutions segment, regarding the multi-plant structure for producing fine chemicals, because of an anticipated deterioration in the business environment and decline in profitability, an impairment test was performed. As a result, because the recoverable amount was less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount was impaired to the recoverable amount of ¥6,909 million. The recoverable amount of the assets was measured by their value in use, and the value in use was calculated by discounting future cash flows at a discount rate of 10.3% (before taxes).

      In the Sumitomo Pharma segment, the profitability of patent right associated with TWYMEEG® (therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes) was no longer expected. As a result, the entire carrying amount was impaired. The recoverable amount was measured based on the fair value less costs of disposal, and the fair value less costs of disposal was determined by the present value of estimated future cash flows based on the past experience and external information. Because the valuation technique uses inputs that are not observable market data, the fair value less costs of disposal is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

      In the Essential & Green Materials segment, etc., regarding the production facilities of Ehime Works, because the profitability of the business declined due to weak demand and lower market prices, the entire carrying amount was impaired. The recoverable amount in the impairment test uses value in use, and the disclosure of discount rate is omitted because the future cash flows are negative.

      The major items of individually immaterial impairment losses are related to tangible assets such as machinery, equipment, and vehicles, and intangible assets, such as patent, in the Company's business. Impairment losses are recorded because the recoverable amount was less than the carrying amount due to a decline in forecasted revenue.

      At impairment tests for property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets, the recoverable amount is measured as the higher of its value in use or its fair value less costs of disposal after CGUs are determined. The assumptions used to measure the fair value less costs of disposal, or the assumptions, discount rates, and other factors used to estimate future cash flows expected during the period in use and upon their disposal after use for CGUs, which are the basis for measuring the value in use, might be affected by uncertain future changes in economic conditions.

   2. Reversal of impairment losses Fiscal year 2025

      There is no material reversal of impairment losses in FY2025.

      Details of reversal of impairment losses by reportable segments are presented in Note 6 Segment information.

      Fiscal year 2024

      There is no material reversal of impairment losses in FY2024.

      Details of reversal of impairment losses by reportable segments are presented in Note 6 Segment information.

   3. Impairment test of goodwill

   Goodwill arising from business combination is allocated at the acquisition to CGUs benefitting from the business combination, and the carrying amounts are ¥275,711 million and ¥257,811 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The carrying amounts of goodwill associated with the Sumitomo Pharma segment are as follows:

   Millions of yen

   	March 31, 2026		March 31, 2025
   North America	¥	211,098	¥	197,406
   Total	¥	211,098	¥	197,406

   An impairment loss of goodwill is recognized when the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount of goodwill is reduced to its recoverable amount, which is calculated based on the fair value less costs of disposal measured based on the approved business plan. The fair value less costs of disposal is measured using estimates of the future cash flows, based on historical experience and external information, discounted to present value. This measurement includes, for products that are already on the market, forecasts of profits and fixed costs based on the sales prices of the products, the market size of the disease area to which the products belong, the market share of the products, and other factors, and for major products under development, forecasts of profits and fixed costs, etc. for the products taking into account the probability of success of research and development activities, and other factors.

   For impairment tests of goodwill for North America in FY2024, fair value less costs of disposal was measured by discounting estimates of the future cash flows, based on forecasts for the next 17 years considering a perpetual growth rate of 2.2%, to present value, then deducting estimated disposal costs. For impairment tests of goodwill for North America in FY2025, fair value less costs of disposal was measured by discounting estimates of the future cash flows, based on forecasts for the next 16 years considering a perpetual growth rate of 2.3%, to present value, then deducting estimated disposal costs. Because this valuation technique uses inputs that are not observable market data, the fair value less costs of disposal is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

   Impairment tests for goodwill use a discount rate based on factors such as the weighted average cost of capital established separately for each CGU. The discount rates used for impairment tests were 10.9% and 12.4% for FY2025 and FY2024, respectively.

   As a result of impairment tests as of March 31, 2025, an impairment loss was not recognized for goodwill in the North America CGU as the fair value less costs of disposal was above the carrying amount of this CGU, including goodwill.

   As a result of impairment tests as of March 31, 2026, an impairment loss was not recognized for goodwill in the North America CGU as the fair value less costs of disposal was above the carrying amount of this CGU, including goodwill.

   For the North America CGU, fair value less costs of disposal substantially exceeds the carrying amount, and management considers it unlikely that an impairment loss would be recognized even if the key assumptions used in the calculation of fair value less costs of disposal fluctuated within a reasonable range.

7. Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
   1. Investments in associates

      ➀ Material associates

      The associate that is material to the Group is as follows:

      Proportion of ownership interest

      Although it holds less than 20% of the voting rights in Petro Rabigh, the Company accounts for Petro Rabigh as an associate, considering the Company's significant influence over Petro Rabigh through representation on the Board of Directors and the provision of technical and financial support. In the previous fiscal year, Petro Rabigh was presented under

      "(2) Investments in joint ventures" ; however, to enhance comparability, it has been reclassified and is presented under

      "(1) Investments in associates."

      Summarized financial information of Petro Rabigh is as follows.

      The Company applies the equity method to financial statements of Petro Rabigh on a three-month time lag, as it is impracticable to unify the reporting period of Petro Rabigh. The summarized financial information of Petro Rabigh disclosed in this Note is therefore for the period ended three months before the Group's reporting date, and adjustments have been made for material differences between the accounting policies applied by Petro Rabigh and the Group as well as for material transactions or events that occurred between the closing date of Petro Rabigh and the closing date of the Group.

      Note 1: Class A Ordinary Shares refer to ordinary shares with voting rights, and as a result of the issuance of the new Class B Ordinary Shares, the name of the existing ordinary shares was changed to Class A Ordinary Shares.

      Note 2: Class B Ordinary Shares have no voting rights and are subject to a dividend deferral period of several years after issuance, with dividend rates set to vary each year from 2028 onward. Class B Ordinary Shares are also subject to certain provisions regarding cumulative dividends and repurchases.

      Note 3: As a measure to improve Petro Rabigh's financial position, the Company and Saudi Aramco have waived shareholder loans of $1,000 million in August 2024 and $500 million in January 2025. The financial statements of Petro Rabigh as of March 31, 2025 have been adjusted for the effect of this debt waiver.

      Note 4: The portion of Total equity attributable to Group's share of equity corresponding to Class B Ordinary Shares is classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and is therefore excluded from Total equity attributable to Group's share of equity, being included in the consolidation adjustment.

      Note 5: The amounts shown relate to Class A Ordinary Shares.

      Note 6: The fair value is based on the market price of the investment and is categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

      Note 8: Petro Rabigh changed its method of presentation during FY2025. Certain expenses that were previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses are now deducted from sales revenue. To reflect this change in presentation, sales revenue for the previous fiscal year has been reclassified. This change has no impact on the carrying amount of the investment.

      For FY2024, Petro Rabigh reported interest income of ¥831 million and interest expenses of ¥87,218 million. Disclosure of these amounts for FY2025 has been omitted, following Petro Rabigh's inclusion as a material associate.
