1Q exceeded plan, driven by High-Performance Plastics and Urban Infrastructure &

Environmental Products. Housing performed broadly in line with expectations. That said,

some of the strong 1Q performances reflected demand pull-forward. Management

indicated that inventory build-ups in pipe and building materials within Urban

Infrastructure & Environmental Products, as well as industrial tapes and foams within

High-Performance Plastics, contributed around ¥5bn at the gross profit level from 1Q to

2Q.

Within High-Performance Plastics, binder resins for MLCCs (multilayer ceramic

capacitors), semiconductor-related tapes, and SELFA posted strong growth in 1Q, with

momentum expected to continue in 2Q. Interlayer films for automotive applications

were weak in China, although demand for HUD (Head-Up Display) applications expanded.

In Europe, the company expects market share gains following the resolution of its patent

dispute with Kuraray. Aircraft materials also performed better than planned.

In Housing, orders for both detached houses and apartment buildings remained solid,

with growth in orders outpacing growth in unit sales in both 1Q and 2Q. In Urban

Infrastructure & Environmental Products, price pass-through has progressed faster than

expected, while spreads have remained favorable.
