Plan assumptionsThe plan assumes that mobility will diversify in line with the characteristics of each country and region, including energy conditions, policy and industry trends, and how people live, amid changes in the external environment. Numerical assumptions for foreign exchange rates, market growth rates, and raw material prices are not disclosed.

Risks identified by the company
Actual results and strategies may differ from the forecasts or assumptions described due to the impact of uncertain factors in the future
Reason for revision or withdrawal

The operating margin and ROE did not reach the initially set target levels due to quality-related costs and increased resource allocation aimed at future growth, leaving challenges in strengthening the earnings base. In addition, as changes surrounding mobility accelerate, including advances in advanced safety, autonomous driving, and software-defined vehicles (SDVs), the areas requiring reinforcement for the next phase of growth have become clearer.
