Significant events
- “The Company and Asahi Kasei Corporation established Mitsui Chemicals Asahi Life Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "MAL") on October 2, 2023, and each company transferred their nonwovens businesses to MAL. The investment ratio in MAL is 60.62% by the Company and 39.38% by Asahi Kasei. MAL is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.”
- “Based on the company integration agreement concluded on June 29, 2023, we have split the protective film business and industrial film and sheet business off from the consolidated subsidiary MCTI, transferring these businesses to a newly established subsidiary on April 1, 2024. Also, based on the same agreement, MCTI merged its PS business with SunTox Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Rengo and Tokuyama Corporation, with MCTI as the surviving integrated company handling the PS business. By transferring a portion of the Company's shares in MCTI to Rengo, we lost control over MCTI, resulting in this integrated company handling the PS business and its subsidiaries becoming equity-method affiliates.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
