This reflects debts exceeding assets and a substantial decline in the fair value of shares due to the discontinuation of the EV model by joint venture SHM. There is no impact on the consolidated performance, and an additional 44.9 billion yen was recognized as a loss on equity-method investments.\n\n### Future Outlook\nSince these losses are eliminated in consolidated financial statements, they will not affect Sony's consolidated performance. The company will continue monitoring SHM's business developments and managing financial risks. While the recognition of these losses may impact short-term financial indicators, they are not expected to influence medium- to long-term business strategies.","jir_financial_highlights":"Valuation Loss on Investments in Affiliated Companies: 100 billion yen (Newly Recognized)\nProvision for Business Losses in Affiliated Companies: 25.2 billion yen (Newly Recognized)\nLoss on Investments in Equity-method Affiliates (SHM): 44.9 billion yen (Additional Realization)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SonyGroup, #FinancialResults, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Valuation Loss on Investments in Affiliated Companies: 100 billion yen\nProvision for Business Losses in Affiliated Companies: 25.2 billion yen\nLoss on Investments in Equity-method Affiliates (SHM): 44.9 billion yen","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Sony Group\u3011Recognition of Affiliated Company Losses\uff5cMay 2026","jir_meta_description":"Sony recorded a valuation loss of 100 billion yen on its investments in affiliated companies and a business loss provision of 25.2 billion yen in FY2025.
