As a result, the company’s consolidated earnings forecast for fiscal 2022, ending March 31, 2022, has been revised from the announcement on October 28, 2021 as stated below.
Based on a certain premise, the company has taken into consideration the impact of improper testing, including costs for additional inspections and strengthening the quality control system. Depending on the progress of future discussions with customers and investigations, the Group may incur losses exceeding its premise or relating to the discovery of any other improper quality-related conduct.
