2. Reason for revision

Net sales, operating income, and ordinary income are expected to be lower than previously forecasted with major products among fibers, engineering plastics, and synthetic rubber impacted by an economic slowdown in China and by sluggish automotive-related markets, while lithium-ion battery separator shipment volumes were reconsidered. Net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to be lower than previously forecasted as an effect of the decrease in ordinary income.
