Note: The forecasts of consolidated results for the FY2021 released on August 13, 2021 was the same as those released on May 12, 2021.

2. Reasons for Revision

Since the announcement of the Previous Forecast, the prices of natural resources, such as crude oil and copper, have risen and remain at high levels. In addition, it is expected that sales of high-performance material and thin- film material would continue to increase due to strong demand for data transmission. For these reasons, the operating profit is forecasted to be 470 billion yen, an increase of 210 billion yen from the Previous Forecast.

Of the 210 billion yen increase in operating profit, 130 billion yen is from inventory valuation factors*, and 80 billion yen from operating profit improvement excluding inventory valuation factors.

For the same reason above, the after-tax profit attributable to owners of the Company is also forecasted to increase from the Previous Forecast.

In terms of the Company's business segments, the operating profit excluding inventory valuation factors is expected to increase from the Previous Forecast by 30 billion yen in the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Business, due to the increase of crude oil and gas prices, and 50 billion yen in the Metals Business due to the increase of copper price and sales increase of high-performance material and thin-film material due to strong demand for data transmission.
