The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Because ソニーネットワークコミュニケーションズ株式会社 is a wholly owned subsidiary of ソニー株式会社, and ソニー株式会社 is a wholly owned subsidiary of SONY GROUP CORPORATION, SONY GROUP CORPORATION is described as the parent company that has the greatest influence on our group. Transaction terms are set at levels equivalent to those offered to other advertisers, and terms are determined appropriately, in the same manner as for general business partners, to protect minority shareholders.
