Partial Business Transfer Accompanying Withdrawal from the Automotive Parts Businesses of Wells Vehicle Electronics Holdings Corp. and Wells Vehicle Electronics, L.P.
Wells Vehicle Electronics Holdings Corp. and Wells Vehicle Electronics, L.P., consolidated subsidiaries of Niterra Co.,Ltd.
Wells' automotive parts business, particularly the procurement, manufacture and sale of electronic repair parts for automobiles
Performance growth has remained constrained due to the increasingly challenging market environment, making it difficult to expect the earnings and synergies originally anticipated in the future. In addition, in light of the policy of optimizing the business portfolio, the Company determined that continuing to invest management resources would not align with its overall corporate strategy.
The Company expects to record approximately ¥15 billion in operating expenses, including a loss on the transfer and provisions related to withdrawal from the automotive parts business. On the other hand, the reduction in income taxes is expected to increase net income for the current fiscal year by approximately ¥3 billion.
Fiscal year ending March 2027
Regarding revisions to the earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2027, the Company will promptly disclose any matters requiring disclosure, including impacts other than those related to this matter.

The company will promptly disclose any matters that should be disclosed in the future.
