  1. Reasons of revision:

an expected increase in the sales price of crude oil and natural gas resulting from an increase in the crude oil price, and increase in the sales volume of natural gas (Japan).

The amount increased in ordinary profit is expected to shrink, due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains.

Loss attributable to owners of parent is expected to decrease, due to an expected gain on sale of investment securities as an extraordinary income, as disclosed in "JAPEX to Book Extraordinary Income from Participation in INPEX Off-Auction Own Share Repurchase Trading (ToSTNeT-3"dated November 8, 2021.
