Message from the CVO and CIOO

AMITA HOLDINGS CO., LTD. convened its Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders for the 16th Term on March 26, 2026. At the meeting, the appointment of seven directors to the board, including two new directors, was approved as proposed. KUMANO Eisuke will continue to serve as Chairman and CVO, while SUETSUGU Takahide will continue as President and CIOO. Both of us are fully prepared to lead the AMITA Group's efforts to achieve its Vision 2030. The two newly appointed directors possess the requisite experience and expertise to implement the Group's growth strategies and strengthen its operational foundation; they are expected to assume pivotal roles in accelerating the Group's long-term growth.

In addition, at this shareholder meeting, an extension of the term of a board director from the previous one year to two years and the change of accounting auditor of record were approved. These changes are anticipated to enhance the Company's governance. The AMITA Group engages in investment-driven business management that prioritizes upfront investment in developing solutions to unmet social needs. This approach will necessarily take several years to generate positive returns. The extended term of directors holds each member of the leadership team more accountable for the successful implementation of the investment-driven business management, as well as for the enhancement of the Group's enterprise value in the long term.

In the face of today's unpredictable and volatile operating environment, the revised corporate management structure will enhance the Group's ability to implement business strategies from a long-term perspective and improve its corporate governance and sustainability. Concurrently, we will provide timely disclosure of our business and financial performance, as well as progress in strategy implementation. This initiative is a key component of our ongoing efforts to enhance the transparency and accountability of our corporate management.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (FY 2025), the Group's financial performance fell short of its guidance announced at the beginning of the year. This was primarily attributed to our ineffectiveness in adapting promptly to changes in corporate clients' management priorities brought about by the U.S. administration's fluctuating tariff policy, China's deflationary export practices, and diminished corporate interest in ESG disclosure. Despite this less-than-stellar performance, the Company has set its year-end dividend rate for FY 2025 at 5.00 yen, unchanged from the initial guidance, to maintain its commitment to returning a consistent level of profit to shareholders.

In FY 2026 and beyond, the global business environment is predicted to become increasingly unpredictable and volatile. This is attributed to the rapid advancement of AI technologies, demographic shifts, prevailing climate change, the diminishing availability of natural resources, and escalating geopolitical risks. In Japan, businesses are facing growing pressure from regulatory requirements for sustainability-related financial disclosures. Consequently, they are expected to become more serious in transitioning to enhanced corporate sustainability. Capitalizing on this positive development, the Group has completed the Groundwork Phase and entered the growth stage in FY 2026.

During FY 2026, the first year of the Business Expansion Phase as outlined in our long-term management plan, our primary objectives are:

• To expand the scope and scale of our Cyano Project sustainability service suite
• To operate smart plants for the production of circular materials
• To enhance the geographic coverage of our MEGURU STYLE sustainable community model
• To expand our business in the ASEAN region and other overseas markets

Our consolidated financial targets for FY 2026 are as follows:

• Net sales: 5,200 million yen
• Operating profit: 500 million yen
• Ordinary profit: 566 million yen
• After-tax profit: 363 million yen

To effectively address the escalating social and environmental challenges, every business must prioritize pursuing corporate sustainability while fostering stakeholder engagement. Under the guiding principle of "designing the future," the AMITA Group is committed to implementing stakeholder-centric corporate management, thereby achieving AMITA Vision 2030 through its core Social Systems Design Business. We sincerely appreciate your continued support and collaboration in this challenging yet promising endeavor.
