Cautionary Statement
Statements made in this supplemental information with respect to Sony’s current plans, estimates, strategies and beliefs and other
statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those
statements using such words as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and similar words, although some forwardlooking statements are expressed differently. Sony cautions investors that a number of important risks and uncertainties could cause actual
results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and therefore investors should not place undue reliance
on them. Investors also should not rely on any obligation of Sony to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. Sony disclaims any such obligation.
Pictures Segment
■ Pictures Segment Aggregated U.S. Dollar Information
Management analyzes the results of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. (“SPE”) in U.S. dollars, so discussion of certain portions of its results is specified as being
on “a U.S. dollar basis.” The underlying U.S. dollar aggregated results, which differ from the U.S. dollar convenience translation information presented in the
earnings release, and the change in U.S. dollars, are described below. The underlying U.S. dollar aggregated results for Pictures are not reflected in Sony’s
consolidated financial statements and are not measured in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Sony does not
believe that these measures are a substitute for the U.S. GAAP measures. However, Sony believes that disclosing the underlying U.S. dollar aggregated results
provides additional useful analytical information to investors regarding the operating performance of Sony and the Pictures segment.
