Kato Works Co.,Ltd., Annual General Meeting, Jun 26, 2026 Kato Works Co.,Ltd., Annual General Meeting, Jun 26, 2026. New Risk • Mar 23
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: JP¥15.9b (US$99.8m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.8% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 5.9% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.9% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Kato Works Co.,Ltd. Revises Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026 Kato Works Co.,Ltd. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. For the year, the company expects net sales to be JPY 57,000 million, operating loss to be JPY 500 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 5,800 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 508.60 against net sales to be JPY 57,000 million, operating loss to be JPY 500 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 200 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 17.42. Reason for the revisions: In connection with the “Notice Regarding the Completion of Transfer of Equity Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary and Recording of Extraordinary Income (Progress of Disclosure)” announced on October 29, 2025, the final transfer price for KATO WORKS (CHINA) LTD., the company subject to the transfer, has been finalized. As a result, the gain on sale of shares of a subsidiary is expected to increase from the previously estimated JPY 1.5 billion to JPY 1.8 billion. In addition, with the completion of the transfer and the deconsolidation of this subsidiary, the foreign currency translation adjustments of JPY 5.3 billion, which had been recorded in the net assets section of the consolidated balance sheet, will be reversed and added to the gain on sale of shares of a subsidiary. Accordingly, the total gain on sale of shares of a subsidiary, which is recorded as extraordinary income, will amount to JPY 7.1 billion. As this significantly exceeds the previous forecast, the company is revising upward Profit attributable to Owners of Parent. This revision to the earnings forecast is primarily due to changes in the amount of extraordinary income resulting from the finalization of accounting treatment associated with the deconsolidation of the overseas subsidiary. There are no changes to net sales, operating profit, or ordinary profit from the previously announced forecast. The foreign currency translation adjustments had been recorded as a positive amount in the net assets section of the consolidated balance sheet, thereby increasing total net assets; however, upon deconsolidation, this amount will be removed from net assets. On the other hand, the amount reversed will be recorded as extraordinary income and will increase retained earnings through Profit attributable to Owners of Parent, resulting in the two effects being offset within the net assets section. Accordingly, the portion of the gain on sale of shares of a subsidiary attributable to the reversal of foreign currency translation adjustments represents a reclassification adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income and has only a limited impact on total net assets. As it does not involve any new cash flows, there is no revision to the dividend forecast accompanying this revision to the earnings forecast. Declared Dividend • Dec 09
