eREX Co.,Ltd. Provides Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027 eREX Co.,Ltd. provided consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. For the year, the company expects net sales to be JPY 240,693 million, operating income to be JPY 7,807 million, net income attributable to the owners of the Parent Company to be JPY 5,409 million and EPS (Basic) to be JPY 69.32 per share. the Company announced its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, which had previously been undetermined in the Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026 (IFRS) released on May 12, 2026. Also, the same revision has also been reflected in the "Notice Regarding Revision to the Mid-Term Business Plan" released on May 12, 2026. Reasons for the Revision: The Company had deferred the disclosure of its earnings forecast due to significant fluctuations in fuel and electricity prices arising from geopolitical risks in the Middle East, as well as uncertainty regarding future electricity demand stems from concerns over the negative impact on the real economy in the Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026 (IFRS) released on May 12, 2026. Since then, the Company has closely monitored developments in the market environment. As it has now become possible to establish certain assumptions regarding electricity prices and demand, the Company has decided to disclose its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Net sales are expected to increase year on year, driven mainly by higher electricity prices. However, operating income is expected to decrease from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, primarily due to timing differences caused by fluctuations in electricity market prices. Profit before income tax is projected to increase due to changes in foreign exchange gains and losses. Quarterly Net Income Attributable to the Owners of the Parent Company is also expected to rise year on year, mainly due to a reduction in income tax expenses. Duyuru • Jun 26

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 223% Dividend yield: 1.8% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 31% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (31% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 39% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 39% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.0% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (25% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Currently running at an operating cash loss. This is considered a major risk.

It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario.
