consolidated operating loss for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 is expected to fall within the range of the full-year consolidated earnings forecast announced on March&nbsp;12, 2026, due to factors such as losses associated with the
reassessment of automobile electrification strategy. However, it is currently under confirmation and is scheduled to be announced on May&nbsp;14, 2026. </P>
