(hereinafter referred to as "the Matter"), the details of financial statements regarding the financial results for such quarter, including the impact of the Matter, remain uncertain. As a result, KDDI has decided to postpone the disclosure of the earnings report for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026. Next steps At present, KDDI has confirmed that the investigation report by the Special Investigation Committee is scheduled for the end of March 2026. Upon receiving the investigation report, KDDI also plans to disclose it publicly at the end of March 2026. Based on this schedule, KDDI intends to release the earnings report for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 by the end of March 2026. Regarding the explanation of the financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 to be held today, KDDI has determined that it is important to inform its investors and other stakeholders of (i) the facts currently recognized by KDDI as being related to the Matter and (ii) an update on the progress of its businesses unrelated to the Matter, on a timely basis rather than after the impact on the consolidated financial statements becomes certain as a result of the completion of the investigation by the Special Investigation Committee, and, therefore, KDDI holds this explanation under the revised title "Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Q3 Preliminary Results Explanation."
