2. Reasons for Revisions
With regard to the full-year forecast for consolidated operating results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, MGC expects net sales and each profit indicator to exceed previous forecasts. This projection is based on continued high prices for crude oil and methanol, in addition to other positive factors whose impact is likely to exceed previous forecasts, such as the improved profitability of engineering plastics due to the successful transfer of raw material costs to sales prices, the effect of upward revisions to prices of BT materials for IC plastic package substrates, and the higher sales volume of chemicals for use in semiconductor manufacturing.
With regard to the full-year forecast for non-consolidated operating results, MGC anticipates that operating profit will remain on par with the previous forecast, despite expected growth in net sales on the back of continued high prices for crude oil and methanol, and other factors. In addition, net profit is expected to fall short of the previous forecast due primarily to losses on valuation of stocks of affiliates recorded in the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 in connection with a subsidiary engaged in meta-xylenediamine manufacturing in the Netherlands.
The above forecasts assume exchange rates of JPY155=USD1 (an appreciation of JPY5 from the previous forecast) and JPY175=EUR1 (an appreciation of JPY10 from the previous forecast) for the remaining months of the fiscal year.
