Shares of Spotify Technology S.A. (“Spotify”) held by Sony are classified as equity securities required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. The revaluation of the Spotify shares, which reflects costs to be paid to Sony’s artists and distributed labels as well as the changes in the fair value of derivatives utilized to hedge exposure to market fluctuation risk, owned as of March 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026 resulted in an unrealized
gain
of 64,764 million yen (440 million U.S. dollars), 69,019 million yen (443 million U.S. dollars) and 9,919 million yen (74 million U.S. dollars), respectively.
