Cautionary Statement Statements made in this material with respect to Sony’s current plans, estimates, strategies and beliefs and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements about the future performance of Sony.

From time to time, oral or written forward-looking statements may also be included in other materials released to the public. These statements are based on management’s assumptions, judgments and beliefs in light of the information currently available to it. Sony cautions investors that a number of important risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on them. Investors also should not rely on any obligation of Sony to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Sony disclaims any such obligation. Risks and uncertainties that might affect Sony include, but are not limited to: (i) Sony’s ability to maintain product quality and cust omer satisfaction with its products and services; (ii) Sony’s ability to continue to design and develop and win acce ptance of, as well as achieve sufficient cost reductions for, its products and services, including image sensors, game and network platforms, smartphones and televisions, which are offered in highly competitive markets characterized by severe price competition and continual new product and service introductions, rapid development in technology and subjective and changing customer preferences; (iii) Sony’s ability to implement successful hardware, software, an d content integration strategies, and to develop and implement successful sales and distribution strategies in light of new technologies and distribution platforms; (iv) the effectiveness of Sony’s strategies and their execution, including but not limited to the success of Sony’s acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, capital expenditures, restructurings and other strategic initiatives; (v) changes in laws, regulations and government policies in the markets in which Sony and its third-party suppliers, service providers and business partners operate, including those related to taxation, as well as growing consumer focus on corporate social responsibility; (vi) Sony’s continued ability to identify the products, services an d market trends with significant growth potential, to devote sufficient resources to research and development, to prioritize investments and capital expenditures correctly and to recoup its investments and capital expenditures, including those required for technology development and product capacity; (vii) Sony’s reliance on external business partners, including for the procurement of parts, components, software and network se rvices for its products or services, the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of its products, and its other business operations; (viii) the global economic and political environment in which Sony operates and the economic and political conditions in Sony’s markets, particularly levels of consumer spending; (ix) Sony’s ability to meet operational and liquidity needs as a re sult of significant volatility and disruption in the global financial markets or a ratings downgrade; (x) Sony’s ability to forecast demands, manage timely procurement and control inventories; (xi) foreign exchange rates, particularly between the yen and the U.S. dollar, the euro and other currencies in which Sony makes significant sales and incurs production costs, or in which Sony’s assets, liabilities and operating results are denominated; (xii) Sony’s ability to recruit, retain and maintain productive relations with highly skilled personnel; (xiii) Sony’s ability to prevent unauthorized use or theft of inte llectual property rights, to obtain or renew licenses relating to intellectual property rights and to defend itself against claims that its products or services infringe the intellectual property rights owned by others; (xiv) the impact of changes in interest rates and unfavorable cond itions or developments (including market fluctuations or volatility) in the equity and bond markets on the revenue and operating income of the Financial Services segment; (xv) shifts in customer demand for financial services such as life insurance and Sony’s ability to conduct successful asset liability management in the Financial Services segment; (xvi) risks related to catastrophic disasters, geopolitical conflicts, pandemic disease or similar events; (xvii) the ability of Sony, its third-party service providers or business partners to anticipate and manage cybersecurity risk, including the risk of unauthorized access to Sony’s business information and the personally identifiable information of its employees and customers, potential business disruptions or financial losses; and (xviii) the outcome of pending and/or future legal and/or regulatory proceedings. Risks and uncertainties also include the impact of any future events with material adverse impact. The continued impact of developments relating to the situations in Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East, as well as the series of changes in U.S. tariff policy, could heighten many of the risks and uncertainties noted above. Important information regarding risks and uncertainties is also set forth in Sony’s most recent Form 20-F, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
