(2) Reasons for difference

Net sales exceeded the forecast primarily due to strong sales in the Industrial Machinery & Environmental Systems segment.

Operating profit and ordinary profit exceeded the forecast due to increased sales and cost reductions.

Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent exceeded the earnings forecast due to an increase in ordinary profit and a decrease in tax expenses.

(2) Reason for revision

In its three-yearmedium-term management plan ending in FY2023, the Company set the target level of shareholder returns at a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40-50%.

Based on this, the Company has revised its year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 to 24 yen per share (previous forecast was 21 yen per share) in light of the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 announced today.

As a result, the annual dividend for the current fiscal year, including the interim dividend, will be 45 yen per share (consolidated dividend payout ratio: 40.5%).
