Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has been selected as one of the "Noteworthy Digital Transformation (DX) Companies" for the fourth consecutive year under the "DX Stocks 2026" program, jointly organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), and the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA).

The "DX Stocks" program selects leading companies listed on the TSE that have established internal frameworks to promote DX aimed at enhancing corporate value and have demonstrated excellence in the utilization of digital technologies. The program aims to promote DX by widely sharing role-model companies and encouraging greater awareness of DX among business leaders, while enabling evaluations from a wide range of stakeholders.

In the DX Stocks 2026 program, 30 companies were selected as "DX Stocks" (including 3 "DX Grand Prix Companies"), 17 companies as "Noteworthy DX Companies," and 2 companies as a "DX Platinum Company 2026-2028." These companies have been recognized for their continuous outstanding efforts not only in implementing advanced information systems and leveraging data, but also in boldly transforming their models and management practices based on digital technologies, including AI.

In line with Our Commitment of "For people, society and the earth, circulating resources for a sustainable future," we have set out the basic policy of becoming a company committed to "creating the future through resource circulation" in our Medium-term Management Strategy (FYE March 2027 - 2029). To realize this policy, the Group's digital strategy is positioned as one of the key initiatives for strengthening its management foundation. Our digital strategy, Mitsubishi Materials Digital Business Transformation (MMDX), has been updated from version 2.0 to 2.1, with a focus on expanding the use of AI, contributing to the growth of resource circulation businesses, IT system modernization, and enhanced security. Through MMDX 2.1, we are accelerating the utilization of AI to support the expansion of our resource circulation businesses, while further improving the quality and speed of operations, and advancing our evolution into a more competitive corporate group.

Key Evaluation Points for Selection as "Noteworthy DX Companies"

• A clearly defined DX strategy and roadmap that are well aligned with the management strategy, with strong management commitment serving to further drive effective execution, as well as initiatives that promote bottom-up adoption and utilization of digital transformation across the organization.
• Continuous opportunities to communicate with stakeholders through a variety of channels, clearly and concisely communicating DX initiatives, including the use of AI.
• Strengthening both the business transformation and the creation of new business models — such as the E-Scrap business platform MEX (Mitsubishi Materials E-Scrap EXchange) — as well as deepening existing business models, including enhanced market intelligence to strengthen customer engagement, through the introduction and effective utilization of AI.
