Reasons for the revision for the financial forecast

In Battery EV related business, extreme price competition in Chinese EV market is likely to continue and it may spoil the market fairness, and the Company has shifted the strategy to put first priority on its profitability, such as limiting orders for unprofitable models.

In light of this, the Company has revised its fiscal 2023 earnings forecast in anticipation of recording the restructuring costs to restore the financial soundness and improve the profitability of the Battery EV related business.

Notes:

  1. The provided financial forecast assumes the exchange rates of ¥120 against the U.S. dollar and ¥130 against the euro, the same exchange rates used for the preparation of the previously announced forecast.
  2. During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed the provisional accounting treatment for business combination. As a result, figures for the year ended March 31, 2023 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price.

Reasons for the revision for dividend projection

The Company upholds shareholder-oriented management and places importance on regular dividend payments, seeking to increase its dividend payout to around 30% of the consolidated net profit. Based on this policy and in view of the current financial condition, profit level, and dividend payout ratio, the Company decided to revise upward its year-end dividend projection for the year ending March 31, 2024 from 35.00 yen per share to 40.00 yen per share, making the projected aggregate annual dividend 75.00 yen per share.
