    *Appropriate Use of Earnings Forecast and Other Important Information

    The above forecasts are based on the assumptions of management in light of information available as of the release date of this report. GS Yuasa Corporation makes no assurances as to the actual results, which may differ from forecasts due to various factors such as changes in the business environment. For information related to the earnings forecast, please see "(1) Operating Results" in section "4. Qualitative Information on Operating Results, etc." on page 5.

  4. Qualitative Information on Operating Results, etc.
    1. Operating Results

      1. Overview

        During the fiscal year under review, the global economy remained generally resilient. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to geopolitical risks stemming from the situations in the Middle East and Ukraine, the impact of U.S. tariff policies, and fluctuations in financial markets.

        In this economic environment, the GS Yuasa Group's consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 totaled ¥608,995 million, up ¥28,655 million or 4.9%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This increase in Group sales reflects an increase in sales of industrial batteries and power supplies, automotive lithium-ion batteries, and automotive batteries-Japan. In line with this, operating profit came to ¥60,172 million (operating profit before amortization of goodwill came to ¥61,008 million), up ¥10,143 million or 20.3% from the previous fiscal year. Ordinary profit came to ¥58,229 million, up ¥11,883 million or 25.6% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in profit at operating profit level and a decrease in foreign exchange losses. Profit attributable to owners of parent came to ¥41,863 million, up ¥11,446 million or 37.6% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in gain on sale of investment securities and a decrease in impairment losses.

      2. Business Segment Results (Automotive Batteries)

      Net sales in Japan for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 totaled ¥108,006 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥6,083 million or 6.0%, due to the increase in sales volume, and the measures to revise sales prices. Segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥11,682 million, up ¥1,013 million or 9.5% from the previous fiscal year.

      Overseas net sales totaled ¥264,511 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥4,435 million or 1.7%, due to the increase in sales volume in Southeast Asia and Europe. Segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥24,485 million, up ¥5,782 million or 30.9% from the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the impacts of the increase in net sales and subsidies under US Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA).

      As a result of the above factors, the automotive batteries segment's combined net sales in Japan and overseas totaled ¥372,518 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥10,519 million or 2.9%. Overseas automotive batteries segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥36,168 million, up

      ¥6,795 million or 23.1% from the previous fiscal year.

      (Industrial Batteries and Power Supplies)

      As a result of increased demand for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage systems and large orders received for emergency power supply systems, net sales in the industrial batteries and power supplies segment totaled ¥124,093 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥10,958 million or 9.7%. In line with this, segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥18,409 million, up ¥554 million or 3.1% from the previous fiscal year.

      (Automotive Lithium-ion Batteries)

      Net sales in the automotive lithium-ion batteries segment totaled ¥89,928 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥7,137 million or 8.6%, due to an increase in sales volume of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid vehicles, lithium-ion batteries for plug-in hybrid vehicles, etc. Segment profit (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥4,927 million, up ¥3,543 million or 256.1% from the previous fiscal year, which had been affected by lower sales prices, etc. due to falling raw material market prices.

      (Other)

      Net sales in the other segment totaled ¥22,454 million, a year-on-year increase of ¥39 million or 0.2%, due to an increase in sales volume of lithium-ion batteries for space, etc. Segment profit after adjustments for corporate expenses, etc. (before goodwill amortization) came to ¥1,502 million, down

      ¥634 million or 29.7% from the previous fiscal year.

      (Consolidated Earnings Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027)

      Looking at our consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, we anticipate an increase in net sales of ¥660,000 million, driven by increased sales of lithium-ion batteries for electrified vehicles such as plug-in hybrid vehicles and hybrid vehicles, as well as increased sales in regular field such as ESS and in emergency field power supplies.

      We plan on responding to the various cost increases, such as personnel expenses and logistics costs by continuing to promote efforts to increase sales of automotive batteries and industrial battery and power supplies, as well as measures to revise sales prices.

      On the other hand, with the continued uncertainty due to events such as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, there are downside risks to our performance. Taking these impacts into account, we expect operating profit of ¥60,000 million, ordinary profit of ¥56,000 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥36,000 million.

    2. Financial Condition

      Total assets amounted to ¥740,985 million, an increase of ¥47,246 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflects increases in trade receivables, inventories, machinery, equipment and vehicles construction in progress, and retirement benefit asset, despite a decrease in cash and deposits.

      Liabilities decreased to ¥296,886 million, down ¥5,864 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflects a decrease in borrowings, despite increases in provision for loss on liquidation of subsidiaries and associates and deferred tax liabilities.

      Net assets totaled ¥444,098 million, an increase of ¥53,110 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This mainly reflects an increase due to the recording of profit attributable to owners of parent, which outweighed outflows from dividends paid.

    3. Cash Flows

      Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, amounted to ¥31,975 million, a decrease of

      ¥24,705 million or 43.6%, from the end of the previous fiscal year.

      The main factors affecting cash flows are described below.

      (Cash Flows from Operating Activities)

      Net cash provided by operating activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, amounted to

      ¥49,543 million, compared with net cash provided of ¥39,296 million in the previous fiscal year. The main cash inflow was from profit before income taxes, partially offset by an increase in income taxes paid and other factors.

      (Cash Flows from Investing Activities)

      Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥44,898 million, compared with net cash used of ¥58,824 million in the previous fiscal year. The main cash outflow from investments was the purchase of property, plant, and equipment.

      (Cash Flows from Financing Activities)

      Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥31,758 million, compared with net cash provided of ¥14,235 million in the previous fiscal year. The main cash outflows were repayments of borrowings and dividends paid.

      The following are trends in consolidated cash flow indices for the GS Yuasa Group.

      Ratio of interest-bearing liabilities to cash flow: Interest-bearing liabilities / Cash flow from operating activities

      Interest coverage ratio: Cash flow from operating activities / Interest paid

      • All indices are calculated using consolidated financial data.

      • Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the fiscal year-end share price by the total number of outstanding shares (after deducting treasury shares).

      • Calculations involving cash flow use cash flows from operating activities shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest-bearing liabilities include all liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets for which interest is paid.

      The amount of interest paid is the figure used in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

    4. Basic Policy on Profit Distribution and Dividends for the Current and Next Fiscal Year

    The Company considers the return of profits to shareholders to be its priority management issue. As a general policy, the Company decides the level of dividends based on a comprehensive analysis of consolidated earnings results, the financial condition, and the dividend payout ratio. Internal reserves are used to improve future earnings by maintaining and enhancing investments and competitiveness. Based on these initiatives, the Company aims to continue its growth into the future and secure long -term stable returns to shareholders.

    For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company achieved the initial profit target for profit attributable to owners of parent. Accordingly, the Company plans to pay an annual dividend per share of ¥90 (as ¥30 was provided as an interim dividend in the second quarter, ¥60 will be provided for the year-end dividend). The consolidated payout ratio will therefore be 21.6%.

    For dividends for the year ending March 31, 2027, assuming that the forecast profits are achieved, the Company plans to pay an interim dividend per share of ¥30 and a year-end dividend per share of ¥68 to provide an annual dividend per share of ¥98.

  5. Basic Policy on Selecting Accounting Standards

    The GS Yuasa Group currently adopts Japanese accounting standards for its financial reporting in view of comparability between fiscal years on financial statements and comparability with other companies. Regarding the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, the Group will respond appropriately in consideration of circumstances in and outside Japan.

      1. Number of consolidated subsidiaries: Forty-seven (47) companies Names of major consolidated subsidiaries:

        GS Yuasa International Ltd. GS Yuasa Battery Ltd.

        GS Yuasa Energy Co., Ltd. GS Yuasa Technology Ltd.

      2. Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries: Four (4) companies

      The major non-consolidated subsidiary is GS Yuasa Chuo Sales Ltd. (Reason for excluding from the consolidation)

      These non-consolidated subsidiaries are small in scale and have no material impact on consolidated financial statements in terms of their total assets, net sales, profit/loss (amounts attributable to the equity) and retained earnings (amounts attributable to the equity), and are therefore excluded from the scope of consolidation.

    2. Application of the equity method

      1. Non-consolidated subsidiaries and associates accounted for under the equity method: Thirteen (13) companies

        Major non-consolidated subsidiaries and associates accounted for under the equity method:

        SEBANG GLOBAL BATTERY Co., Ltd.

        PT. GS Battery

      2. Four (4) non-consolidated subsidiaries and six (6) associates are not accounted for under the equity method because they are insignificant in terms of their impact on the Company's profit/loss (amounts attributable to the equity) and retained earnings (amounts attributable to the equity), as well as in terms of their importance to the Group.

      3. For equity method-applied companies with fiscal year-end dates that differ from the consolidated fiscal year-end date, the financial statements that were closed at their fiscal year-end dates or provisionally closed at the consolidated fiscal year-end date were used for consolidation.

    3. Fiscal year-end date of consolidated subsidiaries and related matters

      The fiscal year-end date for Yuasa Battery (Thailand) Pub. Co., Ltd. is December 31. Consolidated financial statements were prepared using the financial statements as of its fiscal year-end date instead of using its financial statements provisionally closed at the consolidated fiscal year-end date. However, for important transactions that took place between the fiscal year -end date of the company and the consolidated year-end date, adjustments necessary for consolidation were performed.

    4. Accounting policies

    1. Valuation standards and methods for principal assets

      1. Securities

        1. Subsidiaries' and associates' shares:

          The moving-average cost method is used.

        2. Available-for-sale securities

          Those other than shares, etc. with no market price:

          Market value method (The differences between market price and acquisition cost are incorporated into net assets in full. Costs of securities sold are computed with the moving-average cost method.)

          Shares, etc. with no market price:

          The moving-average cost method is used.

      2. Derivatives

        The market value method is used.

      3. Inventories

      Merchandise and finished goods, work in process, raw materials and supplies: Periodic average method is mainly used (for the book value on the balance sheets, devaluation is applied based on reduction of profitability).

    2. Depreciation/amortization of principal non-current assets

      1. Property, plant and equipment (except for leased assets) The straight-line method is used.

        Assets held by the Company or its domestic consolidated subsidiaries with acquisition price of

        ¥100 thousand or more and less than ¥200 thousand are depreciated using the straight-line method over three years.

        The principal useful lives are as follows. Buildings and structures: 5 to 50 years

        Machinery, equipment and vehicles: 2 to 18 years

      2. Intangible assets (except for leased assets) The straight-line method is used.

      3. Leased assets

        (Finance leases for which ownership of the leased assets does not transfer to the lessees) These assets are depreciated with the straight-line method assuming the lease period equals the estimated useful life and the residual value at the end of the lease term is nil.

      4. Right-of-use assets

      The straight-line method is used based on the lease term.

    3. Accounting standards for principal provisions and allowances

      1. Allowance for doubtful accounts

        The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries provide allowances for the amount not expected to be recovered from doubtful receivables based on the historical loan-loss ratio. For loans and receivables requiring special attention, an allowance is provided for the estimated uncollectible amounts after reviewing collectability of receivables individually.

        Foreign consolidated subsidiaries provide allowances for doubtful accounts mainly estimated through analysis of individual receivables.

      2. Provision for bonuses for directors (and other officers)

        To prepare for the payment of bonuses to directors, a provision is recorded based on the amount expected to be paid.

      3. Provision for retirement benefits for directors (and other officers)

        To prepare for the payment of retirement benefits for directors and executive officers, the necessary amount at the end of the fiscal year is recorded in accordance with internal regulations of certain consolidated subsidiaries.

      4. Provision for loss on liquidation of subsidiaries and associates

      To prepare for loss on liquidation of subsidiaries and associates, we have recorded the expected amount of the loss.

    4. Accounting treatment for retirement benefits

      To prepare for the payment of employee retirement benefits, retirement benefit liability is recorded in the amount calculated by subtracting the value of plan assets from the amount of retirement benefit obligations estimated on March 31, 2026.

      1. The method for attributing expected pension benefits to periods of employee service

        For calculation of retirement benefit obligations, the benefit formula is applied to attribute expected pension benefits for the period up to the end of the fiscal year under review (March 31, 2026).

      2. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service cost

      The amounts of retirement benefit plans of some subsidiaries with an established retirement benefits trust are recorded to expenses.

      Prior service cost is amortized using mainly the straight-line method over a certain number of years, which is within the average remaining service periods of employees at the time when the service cost incurred.

      Actuarial gains or losses are amortized from the fiscal year that starts after the accrual of the gains or losses using the straight-line method over a certain number of years (mainly 7 to 14 years) within the average remaining service periods of the employees who will receive the benefits.

      Unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and unrecognized prior service cost are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income of the net assets under the account "remeasurements of defined benefit plans" after being adjusted with tax effects.

    5. Standards for recognition of significant revenues and expenses

      The details of the main performance obligations related to revenues generated from contracts with customers of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and the normal timing for satisfying the performance obligations (normal timing for recognizing revenues), etc. are as follows.

      Compensation for these performance obligations is received within approximately one year after they are fulfilled, and does not include any significant financial factors.

      1. Sale of goods and products

        The main business of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is the manufacture and sale of batteries, power supplies, lighting equipment, and other battery and electrical equipment. We recognize revenue from the sale of such goods and products once our obligations have been fulfilled and control has been transferred to the customer. As a rule, this is the time at which the goods and products have been delivered or the time as specified in International Commercial Terms. The Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment for domestic transactions when control over the product is transferred to customers in a normal period after the shipment, in line with paragraph 98 of the Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition.

        Sales contracts for batteries and other items include variable consideration because they are sold with discounts based on the sales volume. When selling with a discount, the transaction price is calculated by deducting the estimated amount of the discount, etc. from the consideration promised to the customer in the contract.

      2. Provision of services

      The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries provide services such as work related to the installation of batteries and power supplies. With regard to such installation work, etc., the performance obligation is considered to have been satisfied once the service provision is completed, and revenue is recognized at that time.

      Batteries, devices, equipment, etc. and contract work, etc. are usually sold together. For products where delivery and installation work are identified as separate performance obligations, transaction prices are allocated to each obligation according to the ratios of the observable prices such as the contract amount and the stand-alone selling price estimated by the sum of the estimated cost of the product plus an appropriate margin.

    6. Standards for translating principal assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into Japanese yen

      Foreign currency denominated claims and liabilities are translated into Japanese yen at the

      spot rate prevailing on the consolidated balance sheet date. Currency translation gains or losses are recorded on the statement of income as such. The assets and liabilities of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are also translated into Japanese yen at the spot rate prevailing on their balance sheet date, while their revenues and expenses are translated into Japanese yen at the average rate for the period. Any translation gains or losses are recorded in the net assets under the account "foreign currency translation adjustment" and "non-controlling interests."

      However, revenues and expenses of subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies are translated into Japanese yen at the spot rate prevailing on their balance sheet date, as hyperinflationary accounting will be applied.

    7. Method of significant hedge accounting

      1. Hedge accounting

        Deferred hedge accounting is adopted. Exchange forward contracts that meet specific conditions are converted at a preset rate, while interest rate swap contracts that meet specific conditions are handled with a specific accounting method.

      2. Hedging instruments and hedged transactions

        Hedging instruments: Interest rate swaps, exchange forward contracts, commodity swaps, and currency swaps

        Hedging transactions: Interest on borrowings, foreign currency denominated claims and liabilities, and trade payables

      3. Hedging policy

        1. In accordance with internal rules and in order to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations, the Company utilizes interest rate swap hedging instruments in which the contract amounts, conditions for receiving and paying interests, and contract terms match those for the hedged transactions.

        2. The Company utilizes exchange forward contracts and currency swap contracts with an aim to reduce risks associated with future interest rate fluctuations against import/export transactions and foreign currency denominated debt that are conducted or incurred in the ordinary business process.

        3. The Company utilizes commodity swaps to reduce price fluctuation risks for lead, etc., the principal raw material for its business.

      4. Method for evaluating effectiveness of hedges

      The Company evaluates the effectiveness of hedges by comparing the accumulated change in market values of the hedging instrument and of the targeted hedged transaction over the period from the commencement of the hedge transaction to the time for evaluatio n. For interest rate swaps which adopt a specific accounting method, evaluation is omitted.

    8. Amortization method and period for goodwill

      In principal, goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over five years.

    9. Scope of cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows

      Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows are composed of cash on hand, bank deposits able to be withdrawn on demand, and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition and that represent a minor risk of fluctuation in value.

    10. Other important information on preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

    1. Accounting procedures in hyperinflationary economies

      During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, since the cumulative three-year inflation rate in Turkey exceeded 100%, the GS Yuasa Group determined that its subsidiary in Turkey, whose functional currency is the Turkish lira, is operating in a hyperinflationary economy. Therefore, the GS Yuasa Group has made accounting adjustments to the financial statements of its Turkish subsidiary in accordance with the requirements set forth in IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" from the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of subsidiaries in a hyperinflationary economy be restated by applying the unit of measurement as of the end of the reporting period before inclusion in the consolidated financial statements. The Group uses conversion factors calculated from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of Turkey published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) for the purpose of adjusting the financial statements of its subsidiary in Turkey. For the subsidiary in Turkey, non-monetary items such as property, plant, and equipment presented at cost are adjusted using conversion factors based on the acquisition date or the reevaluation date. Monetary and non-monetary items presented at current cost are not adjusted, since they are considered to be presented in the unit of measurement as of the end of the reporting period. The effect of inflation on net monetary items is presented in non-operating income/loss in the consolidated statements of income. The financial statements of the Turkish subsidiary are translated into Japanese yen at the spot rate prevailing on the last day of the quarter and reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the GS Yuasa Group.

    2. Application of the group tax sharing system

    The Company and certain domestic subsidiaries apply the group tax payment system.

    (Segment and other information) Segment information

    1. Overview of reportable segments

      The Company's reportable segments are components of the Company about which separate financial information is available. These segments are subject to periodic examinations to enable the Company's board of directors to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance.

      The GS Yuasa Group consists of segments based on business units, and the reportable segments comprised Automotive Batteries-Japan, Automotive Batteries-Overseas, Industrial Batteries and Power Supplies, and Automotive Lithium-ion Batteries.

      The Automotive Batteries-Japan segment consists of the manufacturing and marketing of lead-acid storage batteries for automobiles. The Automotive Batteries-Overseas segment consists of the manufacturing and marketing of batteries overseas. The Industrial Batteries and Power Supplies segment consists of the manufacturing and marketing of industrial batteries and power supplies. The Automotive Lithium-ion Batteries segment consists of the manufacturing and marketing of lithium-ion batteries for automobiles.

    2. Calculation of net sales, profit/loss, assets, and other amounts by reportable segment Accounting methods applied in the reportable segments are largely in line with those presented under "Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements."

      Reportable segment profit is based on operating profit (before goodwill amortization). Inter-segment sales and transfers are mainly based on market price and cost of goods manufactured.

    3. Net sales, profit/loss, assets, and other amounts by reportable segment

    Note: The Company has introduced the Performance-Based Stock Compensation Plan for its directors (excluding outside directors) and set up the Officer Stock Grant Trust. The Company's own shares held by the trust are included in the number of treasury shares presented in the consolidated financial statements. In line with this, for the calculation of basic earnings per share, the number of the Company's own shares held by the trust was included in the number of treasury shares that is subtracted from the average number of common stock shares during the term. In addition, for the calculation of net assets per share, the number of the Company's own shares held by the trust was included in the number of treasury shares that is deducted from the total number of shares issued at the end of the period.

    The average number of treasury shares during the term deducted in the calculation of basic earnings per share was 71,785 shares in the previous fiscal year and 131,278 shares in the current fiscal year. For the calculation of net assets per share, the number of treasury shares deducted at the end of the period was 143,100 shares in the previous fiscal year and 123,700 shares in the current fiscal year.
