| * | Effective October 1, 2025, Sony Group Corporation executed a partial spin-off of Sony Financial Group Inc. (“SFGI”), a formerly wholly-owned subsidiary which operates the Financial Services business (the “Spin-off”). As a result of the resolution of Sony Group Corporation’s Board of Directors on May 14, 2025 on a plan for the execution of the Spin-off, the Financial Services business has been classified as a discontinued operation and presented separately from continuing operations, comprised of Sony’s businesses excluding the Financial Services business, from the three months ended June 30, 2025, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, the above figures for net income, net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders, total comprehensive income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended September 30, 2025 represent the results for continuing operations. The year-on-year percentage changes of net income, net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders and total comprehensive income for the six months ended September 30, 2026 are calculated using the figures for continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2025. As net income (loss) from discontinued operations was not recorded in the six months ended September 30, 2026, there is no difference between the figures for continuing operations and the consolidated figures for the six months ended September 30, 2026. For details of discontinued operations, please refer to “Notes to Condensed Semi-annual Consolidated Financial Statements - Accounting Policy and Other Information (Discontinued operations)” on page 19 of the Appendix. |

However, the above dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 do not include such dividends in kind. |

| * | The year-on-year percentage change of net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders is calculated using net income from continuing operations attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. As net income (loss) from discontinued operations is not expected to be incurred in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, there is no difference between the figure for net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders for continuing operations and the consolidated figure in the forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. |
