1. Qualitative information regarding financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2021

1. Information regarding operating results
   During the first nine months (April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 in the Japanese economy, amid a move toward the normalization of economic activities due to progressing COVID-19 vaccinations, private consumption fluctuated, and challenging conditions continued amid factors such as the prolonged stagnation in inbound demand, despite a continued trend of increasing exports. In the global economy, although there are signs that the expansion of the Chinese economy has plateaued, in the US and Europe, the easing of restrictions on economic activities with progress in the dissemination of vaccinations led the economy to a track of recovery.
   In the chemical industry, the forex market is experiencing a trend of yen depreciation mainly due to the start of reduced easing in US monetary policy, and raw material costs are rising due to higher oil prices and the recovery in demand. Amid these conditions, the business environment remains unpredictable.
   Under these circumstances, net sales for the period under review increased by 13.6% year on year, to ¥120,846 million. In terms of profit, operating profit was ¥9,600 million (an increase of 8.5% year on year) mainly due to an increase in net sales, and ordinary profit was ¥11,373 million (an increase of 29.0% year on year) mainly due to an increase in share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method. Profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥7,502 million (an increase of 71.4% year on year).
