Consolidated Results Forecasts

（Billions of yen）

With regard to full-year forecasts for consolidated operating results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the MGC Group believes that net sales will remain virtually unchanged from previous forecasts, taking into account such factors as the downward revision of the year-end assumed exchange rates for the Japanese yen and ongoing robustness of sales from BT materials for IC plastic packaging, despite consistently low methanol market prices. Moreover, in light of the positive factors mentioned above, the Group expects operating profit and ordinary profit to exceed previous forecasts. However, the Group anticipates that profit attributable to owners of parent will fall short of the previous forecast due mainly to extraordinary losses arising from the impairment of noncurrent assets recorded in the third quarter, despite the projected recording of extraordinary gains from the divestment of non-business assets in the fourth quarter.

The above forecasts assume exchange rates of ¥155=$1 (a depreciation of ¥10 from the previous forecast) and¥180=€1 (a depreciation of ¥10 from the previous forecast) for the remaining months of the fiscal year.
