(Flood damage in Brazil)
In Brazil, heavy rain from late April to May 2024 caused large-scale flooding in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Isla Sementes Ltda., a consolidated subsidiary located in the state, was damaged by the flooding and suspended its operations until mid-June. "Loss on disaster", including loss on disposal of inventories, loss on disposal of machinery and equipment, as well as restoration costs and fixed costs incurred until restoration, were recorded as extraordinary losses of 263 million yen. This amount may increase in the second quarter, but in the latest forecast for the consolidated results for the fiscal year ending May 2025, the total "Loss on disaster" has been estimated at 700 million yen.
