2. Reasons for the differences

In the "Notice of Revisions to Consolidated Financial Results Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023" dated January 25, 2024, the Company announced that, although net sales, operating profit and ordinary profit remained generally as expected, profit attributable to owners of parent was expected to be significantly lower than the previous forecast. As the specific impact of relevant matters described below on the profit attributable to owners of parent was under close examination, it was announced as undetermined at the time of the above announcement. Recently, the Company finalized the amount of profit attributable to owners of parent which had been left unsettled, as it determined the total amount of extraordinary losses to be 10,307 million yen (mainly reflecting decreased profitability in the manufacturing and sales of battery terminals in the automobile products business, extraordinary losses caused by the transfer of consolidated subsidiaries associated with Chapter 11 filing and legal fees, etc. related to litigation against the Company and its US subsidiaries, and impairment losses of goodwill related to OCM Manufacturing LLC that operates building materials manufacturing business in the United States) and the amount of relevant income tax, etc.

For an outline of the extraordinary losses, please refer to the following announcements.
