Sony's Forecast Factors In U.S. Tariffs As Of April But Excludes The May 12 China Tariff Changes; The Company Noted The Actual Impact May Vary With Future Policy Shifts

The estimated impact from the series of changes in U.S. tariff policy at this time is reflected in the above forecasts for operating income, income before income taxes and net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation's stockholders. The estimated impact is calculated based on the assumptions that the reciprocal tariff rates announced on April 2, 2025 will be applied after the end of the temporary suspension announced on April 9, and that other tariffs will remain unchanged from the end of April. The impact of the partial removal and temporary suspension of the additional and reciprocal tariffs on China by the U.S. announced on May 12 is not included in the assumptions used for estimating the relevant impact. The actual impact could vary significantly from this estimation if future tariff policy or other factors are changed.
