Reason for the Revision

Projected consolidated operating income for full year 2016 is 81 billion yen, up by 33 billion yen from the previous forecast announced on November 11, 2016. The revision reflects higher than forecast Oil and Chemical products margins in 4Q16 as well as 8 billion yen of inventory gains compared to 20 billion yen inventory losses in the prior forecast. The Company reaffirms the full year dividend forecast of

47.5 yen per share (Regular dividend 38.0 yen, Special dividend 9.5 yen) stated in our previous announcement.
