(2) Reasons for the Revisions

In the business environment of the Dowa Group in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, demand of automobile-related products and services have continued to recover from the second quarter of the current fiscal year, and have been firm since the third quarter of the current fiscal year. In the foreign exchange market and metal prices, Japanese yen has been depreciated and metal prices have risen for copper, zinc, silver and platinum group metals. In addition, due to the change in the equity interest of the Los Gatos mine announced on March 9, 2021 (*1), it is expected that a gain on the sale of interests (extraordinary income) will be generated in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year.

As a result, the full-year consolidated financial forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 of the Dowa Group are expected to exceed the previous forecasts.

Furthermore, regarding Fujita Kanko Inc., an affiliate accounted for by the equity method, the revised forecasts reflect their financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020).
