Notice of Revision to Earnings Guidance

Overview of Performance

This document announces an upward revision to the consolidated earnings guidance for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027. The main factors are an expected upside in interest income at the banking standalone level and a projected decrease in corporate income taxes, leading to the expectation that ordinary income, ordinary profit, interim net income, and interim net income per share will exceed the previous forecasts. The full-year earnings guidance will be disclosed at the time of the second quarter financial results announcement in January 2026.

Impact on Shareholders and Outlook

This revision pertains to the outlook through the interim period; the full-year forecast may change depending on future developments. Attention should be paid to the banking segment, which is sensitive to exchange rates, interest rate trends, and economic conditions. The timing for disclosure of the full-year forecast will be announced in the financial summary and related materials, and investors should monitor the second quarter results announcement closely.
