Sales, Operating Income and
Adjusted OIBDA
Because of our cautious view of the growth of the sensor market, due to our view that the trend toward larger- sized
sensors for smartphones will moderate and the uncertainty regarding the impact of memory market conditions will remain,
we have incorporated into our FY26 forecast a slight year- on-year decrease in the overall sales of mobile sensors.
 Reflecting the benefit of our efforts to address low -profitability businesses in Q4 FY25, our operating income forecast in
FY26 is essentially flat compared to the previous fiscal year if restructuring costs in FY25 are excluded.

Notes
Notes about Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA (Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization) iscalculated by the following formula:
Adjusted OIBDA = Operating income + Depreciation and amortization expense* -the profit and loss amount that Sony deems non- recurring
* In the above formula, depreciation and amortization expense excludes amortization for film costs and broadcasting rights, as well as forinternally developed game content
and master recordings included in Content assets.
Adjusted OIBDA is not a measure in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, Sony believes that this disclosure may beuseful information to investors. Adjusted
OIBDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, Sony’s results in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standar ds.
Sales on a Constant Currency Basis and the Impact of Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The descriptions of sales on a constant currency basis reflect sales calculated by applying the yen’s monthly average exchang e rates from the same period of the previous fiscal
year to local currency -denominated monthly sales in the relevant period of the current fiscal year. For Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”) and Sony Music Publishing LLC (“SMP”)
in the Music segment, and in the Pictures segment, the constant currency amounts are calculated by applying the monthly average U.S. dollar / yen exchange rates after
aggregation on a U.S. dollar basis.
Results for the Pictures segment are described on a U.S. dollar basis as the Pictures segment reflects the operations of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. (“SPE”), a U.S. -based
operation that aggregates the results of its worldwide subsidiaries in U.S. dollars.
The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on sales is calculated by applying the change in the yen’s periodic weighted average exchange rate for the same period of the
previous fiscal year from the relevant period of the current fiscal year to the major transactional currencies in which the sale s are denominated. The impact of foreign exchange
rate fluctuations on operating income (loss) is calculated by subtracting from the impact on sales the impact on cost of sale s and selling, general and administrative expenses
calculated by applying the same major transactional currencies calculation process to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses as for the impact on sales.
The I&SS segment enters intoits own foreign exchange hedging transactions, and the impact of those transactions is included in the impact of foreign exchan ge rate
fluctuations on sales and operating income (loss) for that segment.
This information is not a substitute for Sony’s consolidated financial statements and condensed (semi -annual) consolidated financial statements measured in accordance with
IFRS Accounting Standards. However, Sony believes that these disclosures provide additional useful analytical information to investors regarding the operating performance of
Sony.
Notes about Financial Performance of the Music
and Pictures segments
The Music segment results include the yen- based results of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and the yen- translated results of SME and SMP, which aggregate the results
of their worldwide subsidiaries on a U.S. dollar basis.
The Pictures segment results are the yen- translated results of SPE, which aggregates the results of its worldwide subsidiaries on a U.S. dollar basis. Management analyzes the
results of SPE in U.S. dollars, so discussion of certain portions of its results is specified as being on “a U.S. dollar basi s.”
