Effective October 1, 2025, Sony Group Corporation executed a partial spin-off of Sony Financial Group Inc. (“SFGI”), a formerly wholly-owned subsidiary which operates the Financial Services business (the “Spin-off”). As a result of the resolution of Sony Group Corporation’s Board of Directors on May 14, 2025 on a plan for the execution of the Spin-off, the Financial Services business has been classified as a discontinued operation and presented separately from continuing operations, comprised of Sony’s businesses excluding the Financial Services business, from the three months ended June 30, 2025, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, the above figures for net income, net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders, total comprehensive income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 represent the results for continuing operations. The year-on-year percentage changes of net income, net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders and total comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are calculated using the figures for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025. As net income (loss) from discontinued operations was not recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2026, there is no difference between the figures for continuing operations and the consolidated figures for the three months ended June 30, 2026. For details of discontinued operations, please refer to “Notes to Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements - Accounting Policy and Other Information (Discontinued operations)” on page 13 of the Appendix.

Note: Revisions to the forecast of dividends most recently announced: No

Upon the execution of the above-mentioned Spin-off, Sony Group Corporation distributed dividends in kind to shareholders appearing in its register of shareholders as of the record date, September 30, 2025, at the rate of one share of common stock of SFGI to one share of common stock of Sony Group Corporation held by each shareholder. However, the above dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 do not include such dividends in kind.

3. Forecast for Consolidated Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027 (from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027)

(Percentages indicate year-on-year changes.)

	Yen in millions		%		Yen in millions		%		Yen in millions		%		Yen in millions		%
Full year		12,500,000		0.2		1,720,000		18.8		1,710,000		20.2		1,210,000		17.4

Notes:

Revisions to the forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 most recently announced: Yes

The impact of the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake, which occurred on July 28, 2026, on Sony Group Corporation’s consolidated financial results has not been incorporated into the above results forecast, as it is currently difficult to reasonably estimate such impact.

The year-on-year percentage change of net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders is calculated using net income from continuing operations attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. As net income (loss) from discontinued operations is not expected to be incurred in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, there is no difference between the figure for net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders for continuing operations and the consolidated figure in the forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

Accounting Policy and Other Information

(Changes in accounting policies)

Sony newly adopted the following accounting standards from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027:

Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”

In May 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and 7).” These amendments relate to clarifications on the classification of financial assets and the derecognition of financial liabilities, as well as disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, among other matters. Sony has applied these amended standards since April 1, 2026. The application of these standards does not have a material impact on Sony’s results of operations and financial position.

(Significant changes in the scope of consolidation and the scope of equity method application during the period）

Upon the conclusion of the General Meeting of Shareholders of Sony Financial Group Inc. (“SFGI”) held on June 25, 2026, after considering factors including the composition of the board of directors of SFGI, Sony Group Corporation concluded that it no longer had significant influence over SFGI. Accordingly, during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, SFGI was excluded from the scope of equity method application, and the common stock of SFGI (“SFGI share(s)”) was reclassified from an investment in an associate to an equity instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The gain or loss resulting from the exclusion of SFGI from the scope of equity method application is not material.

(Discontinued operations)

At a meeting of Sony Group Corporation’s Board of Directors held on May 14, 2025, Sony Group Corporation resolved the plan regarding the execution of a partial spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of SFGI. Consequently, Sony Group Corporation determined that the distribution of SFGI shares was highly probable and the Financial Services business was classified as a discontinued operation, in accordance with IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. As a result, from the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, in the condensed quarterly consolidated statements of income, condensed quarterly consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and condensed quarterly consolidated statements of cash flows; revenue, expenses, other comprehensive income and cash flows of the Financial Services business, among other items, are separated from continuing operations, comprised of Sony’s businesses excluding the Financial Services business, and presented as net income or loss from discontinued operations, other comprehensive income from discontinued operations, and net cash from discontinued operations, respectively.

Subsequently, Sony Group Corporation executed the Spin-off effective October 1, 2025.
