2. Details of the results forecasts

The Company expects that the business environment will remain challenging, although it assumes a certain level of recovery in demand for automobile-related products and services resulting from the normalization of the number of vehicles produced.

In addition, it expects no improvements in the share of loss of entities accounted for using an equity method. Reflecting such impacts in forecasting, the Company expects that consolidated results for the first half of the current fiscal year will fall short of the actual results for the first half a year ago.

With respect to full-year forecasts for the consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, the Company has determined that it is unable to make the forecasts due to difficulties in anticipating demand for its products and services or the outlook for the share of profit (loss) of entities accounted for using the equity method in long term given the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will make an announcement promptly as soon as it is able to prepare the forecasts.
