Results of CSV management
◼ Non-financial goals were set as indicators for practicing CSV. Overall, steady progress was made toward our targets for the final year of the medium-term management plan by steadily practicing CSV.
◼ Initiatives to finance decarbonization promotion and save our customers' working hours led to expanding the customer base and capturing new sales opportunities. Fuyo Circular Economy Lease® and the region-specific healthcare fund launched jointly with other financial institutions.
Our results are substantial, both in quality and quantity.
◼ External ratings on these CSV practices that we have built up are steadily improving (see next page).

Changes in the management environment

◼ Society is increasingly demanding sustainability management that addresses climate change, investments in human capital, and other issues
◼ Return to "a world with interest rates" following shift in monetary policy by the Bank of Japan (discontinuance of
YCC / negative interest rates, etc.)
While we are not being forced to make fundamental shifts in our management strategy in order to continue practicing CSV management, the environment is changing more rapidly than we foresaw at the time it was formulated
At the time of plan formulation
