Reasons for revision

We have revised upward our consolidated earnings forecast for both the first half and full fiscal year, reflecting the results of the three months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, and the future business environment.

We are revising our earnings forecast, as the yen is expected to remain depreciation than initially assumed at the beginning of the fiscal year.

In this revised earnings forecast, the assumed exchange rates for the full fiscal year are 150 yen to the US dollar and 162 yen to the euro. Compared with the initial assumptions, this represents a 5 yen depreciation against the US dollar and a 7 yen depreciation against the euro.

It should be noted that while there was front-loaded demand in Japan during the period under review due to price revisions, we anticipate a resultant softening of demand to produce a decline in sales in the second quarter.
