Chemical Sector Research Analysts SECTOR REVIEW 24 January 2014 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Major Chemicals (Chemicals/Textiles (Japan)) / MARKET WEIGHT Chemical sector Research Analysts SECTOR REVIEW Masami Sawato 81 3 4550 9729 [email protected] Keyword: Innovation Maiko Saito Investment strategy 81 3 4550 9936 [email protected] ■ In 2014, we believe "green innovations" and "life innovations" are key to the longer term growth of chemical makers. ■ Green innovation: In the environment/energy field, solar cells and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LiB) should attract greater attention, while lightweight carbon fiber composite materials (CFRP) and their contribution to improving the fuel efficiency of automobiles and aircraft become increasingly important to efforts to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. We believe companies to watch include Toray Industries (3402), Teijin (3401), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings (4188), Kuraray (4023), Hitachi Chemical (4217), and Ube Industries (4208). ■ Life innovation: For their prospective innovations that could promote greater use of generics and help lower the cost of pharmaceuticals, we are focusing on Nippon Kayaku (4272), a major domestic maker of generic anti- cancer drugs and biosimilars, and Denki Kagaku Kogyo (4061), which we expect to expand its diagnostic reagent business. In addition, we look for Asahi Kasei (3407) to expand its pharmaceuticals business and, over the medium term, its home dialysis business. We think JSR (4185) is interesting for the medium-term growth potential of its drug discovery support business. Finally, Sanyo Chemical Industries (4471) and Nippon Shokubai (4114), two producers of super absorbent polymers (SAP) used in absorbent materials, should benefit from the global growth in demand that we expect for disposable diapers. Focus stocks ■ Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (4182, OUTPERFORM, TP ¥1,050): Likely to see profits rise in FY3/15 on higher prices of methanol and expanded market share for its bismaleimide-triazine (BT) materials. Our top pick for 2014. ■ Kureha (4023, OUTPERFORM, TP ¥660): Should benefit from expanding demand for its polyglycolic acid (PGA) as a material for molded products used in shale gas extraction. ■ Sanyo Chemical Industries (4471, OUTPERFORM, TP ¥1,010): A pioneer in SAP. Sales growth should outstrip overall market growth owing to a new grade of SAP for disposable diapers. ■ Toray (3402, OUTPERFORM, TP ¥850): As well as carbon fibers, expansion of North American business and strengthening of the life innovation businesses are likely to enhance medium-term prospects. ■ Asahi Kasei (3407, OUTPERFORM, TP ¥920): Continues to post record profits; over medium term, could use its extensive network of homeowners to build its home dialysis business.

CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES RESEARCH & ANALYTICS BEYOND INFORMATION® Client-Driven Solutions, Insights, and Access 24 January 2014 2013 sector review Share price performance during 2013 Our chemical sector coverage universe had a tough year in 2013, underperforming TOPIX Tosoh was the year’s best by 14% for the entire period and 8% for the second half. Just seven of 22 stocks performer, followed by outperformed for the year, with the other 15 underperforming. The top performer was Tokuyama Tosoh on a strong bounce-back in profits as fallout from the Nanyo plant fire tapered off and the company streamlined its urethane operation. Next was Tokuyama, which was coming off the sector’s worst performance in 2012. Tokuyama’s gains were driven by a restructuring plan that included a full writedown of domestic polysilicon facilities and looks set to boost free cash flow and reduce financial risk. The best performer for 2H alone was Kureha. We attribute this to investors’ expectations Kureha was the top for a medium-term contribution from polyglycolic acid (PGA) resins after President Yutaka performer in 2H Kobayashi said at last November’s 1H results briefing that they are being increasingly used in shale gas extraction.

Innovations in The Japanese government’s new economic growth strategy centers in part on “green environment/energy and innovation” policies targeting energy and the environment and “life innovation” policies healthcare/medical targeting healthcare, and chemical technology is becoming increasingly crucial for both. technology are key to We see innovation in these areas as the key to chemical makers’ longer-term growth. longer-term growth Green innovation The creation of environmentally friendly products and technologies supports both Expectations high for environmental protection and economic growth, but it also requires innovation. Japan and advances in other countries are positioning energy and the environment as a growth area and therefore environmental/energy promoting the development of related technologies and the creation of related markets. technology Companies have also embraced this as a growth field and are currently concentrating management resources there. Industry made progress in developing new products and technologies in 2013 in such segments as renewable energy, energy-saving, resource cycles, biomass, and water treatment. The chemical sector is part of this effort, and we expect it to make further advances in environmental/energy technology in 2014. A key aspect of green innovation is energy generation and storage. Development of new Progress in developing new products and technologies here—including solar cells and rechargeable lithium-ion solar cells and LiBs batteries (LiB)—is gathering momentum, with some companies offering solutions that combine these two battery types. Companies have also begun full-scale development of hydrogen technologies needed to make effective use of solar and other renewable energy. Another key aspect of green innovation is energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions. CFRP poised for full-scale The focus here is on lightweight materials that contribute to better fuel efficiency in take-up automobiles and aircraft. In particular, advances in manufacturing technology for carbon- fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) have set the stage for full-scale take-up, in our view. The market for bioplastics has expanded sharply over the past few years, reflecting their ability to not only reduce

    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

(JCR)’s perception of the current status and highlights for rating concerning the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2021 (FY2020) and earnings forecasts for FY2021 of Japan’s 7 general chemical manufacturers: ASAHI KASEI CORPORATION, Showa Denko K.K. (with January-December accounting period), SUMITOMO CHEMICAL COMPANY, LIMITED, TOSOH CORPORATION, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation (“Mitsubishi Chemical HD”) and Ube Industries, Ltd. 1. Industry Trend In recent years, business environment of chemical industry has been somewhat severe. Since 2018, trade friction between the U.S. and China has been a negative factor, and in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on social and economic activities around the world. Although uncertainty about the future of economic trend has lessened compared to the time when the pandemic broke out, the containment cannot still be foreseen. With regard to bulk chemicals, average utilization rate of domestic ethylene centers in fiscal 2020 was 93.9% (compared to an average of 94.2% in fiscal 2019), falling below the full utilization level of 95% for the second consecutive year.
