Regarding Certain Media Reports

Nikkei reported that the Company is expected to record several hundred billion yen in goodwill impairment losses in the fourth quarter of FY2025, that the annual dividend per share for FY2025 will be set at zero, and that a change of its President & Global CEO is planned. However, these matters have not been announced by the Company.

These items are scheduled to be submitted to the meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors to be held today. Should the Board determine any matters requiring disclosure, the Company will make an announcement in a timely and appropriate manner.

Regarding goodwill impairment losses, a proposal to record 310.1 billion yen in the fourth quarter of FY2025 is planned to be submitted to the Board. The Company revised the assumption for impairment test, which is now set at a level where no further goodwill impairment losses are expected. Accordingly, if this impairment is finalized, additional goodwill impairment losses in FY2026 and beyond will be limited.
