As of the date of disclosure of this quarterly earnings report, the review

(1) Operating Environment
In the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the global economy continued to
rebound, with the U.S. and China leading the overall trend.
In the U.S., the pace of growth increased, especially in consumption,
benefiting from large-scale economic stimulus measures and progress in
vaccination. It is expected that the effects of the economic resumption will
run their course in the second half of the year, but that corporate capital
investment will recover and that the recovery will continue to be supported by
robust consumption. In Europe, progress in vaccination and the easing of
restrictions on activities led to a recovery in consumption. The economic
recovery is expected to strengthen in the second half of the year, partly due
to allocations from the European Recovery Fund. In Japan, although exports
continued to recover, consumption weakened against the backdrop of
intermittent declarations of a state of emergency, which weighed on the
economic recovery. However, the economy is expected to rebound from autumn
onwards due to progress in vaccination and recovery in capital investment. In
China, the recovery continued to be supported by exports and investment. In
the future, the special demand for Chinese products in exports is expected to
fade away, and the growth of investment is expected to slow down due to the
government’s restraint measures. Nevertheless, moderate growth is expected
to continue overall. In Russia and Brazil, exports are expected to increase
against the backdrop of rising prices for resources, energy, and food.
Going forward, it is expected that, while China and the U.S., which have
already recovered to the level before the spread of COVID-19 will continue to
lead the global economic recovery although the pace of growth will slow down,
Europe and Japan are also expected to return to a recovery track in the second
half of the year due to progress in vaccination. Japan is expected to return
to its pre-COVID-19 level by the end of this year, and Europe by the first
half of next year.

(2) Profit Distribution Policy
Our profit distribution policy is as follows:
・ In order to increase corporate value and maximize shareholder value, we
seek to maintain an optimal balance between (a) meeting investment demand in
our core and growth areas through re-investments of our retained earnings, and
(b) directly providing returns to shareholders by paying out cash dividends.
・ In addition to the above, share buy-backs aimed at improving capital
efficiency should be decided in a prompt and flexible manner as needed
concerning buy-back timing and amount by taking into consideration the
business environment such as, future investment activity trends, free cash
flow and interest-bearing debt levels, and return on equity.
For the current period, we had repurchased our own stock for ¥24.6 billion
from April 1 to April 26, 2021 and ¥50.0 billion from May 6 to June 23, 2021
following the announcements "Notification of Stock Repurchase" on February 24,
2021 and April 30, 2021. Furthermore, on August 3, 2021, we announced a new
buy-back program up to ¥50.0 billion of our own shares from August 4, 2021 to
October 29, 2021. For details, please refer to the "Notification of Stock
Repurchase and Cancellation of Treasury Stock" on our website.
We will continue to flexibly and strategically allocate funds for investment
in growth and additional shareholder returns (additional dividends and share
buy-backs) according to the business performance during the Medium-term
Management Plan period.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, we plan to pay an annual dividend
of ¥90 per share (an increase of ¥5 from the previous fiscal year).

provision as of June 30, 2021 are immaterial.

(8) Taxation on Capital Gain in India
Earlyguard Limited (“EG”), a UK subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd.,
received a tax payment notice dated January 21, 2020 which requested payment
of 24.0 billion Indian Rupees (¥36.0 billion) from Indian tax authority.
The taxable income of this notice is the capital gain on sales of Finsider
International Company Limited (a UK company that owned 51% of Sesa Goa, an
Indian iron ore company) shares held by EG in April 2007. Although EG treated
the capital gain properly according to the tax laws at that time, the tax
payment notice has been issued. On February 17, 2021, EG commenced arbitration
under the UK-India bilateral investment treaty in order to dispute this tax
payment notice.
The company does not expect a significant impact on our consolidated financial
position, operating results and cash flow at this stage.
(9) Impact of the Security Situation in Northern Mozambique on LNG Project
The Company participates in the Mozambique LNG Project through Mitsui E&P
Mozambique Area 1 Limited, its joint venture in the Energy Segment. In April
2021, all project personnel evacuated the project site due to the
deteriorating security situation in northern Mozambique where the project site
is located, and on April 26, the project operator, TotalEnergies SE of France,
announced that it had declared force majeure under the Joint Operating
Agreement.
While the prospect of this project is still under examination, the company do
not expect a significant impact on our consolidated financial position,
operating results and cash flow at this stage.
