(Financial forecast and Dividend forecast)

Due to the global spread of COVID-19, there are many undetermined factors that may affect the AGC Group's performance at this time, and it is difficult to make a reasonable calculation of financial forecasts. Therefore, the AGC Group has temporarily withdrawn its full-year consolidated financial and dividend forecasts which were announced on February 5, 2020 and will disclose them again when reasonable forecasts become available. The consolidated financial forecast for the first half of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 has been calculated based on the information currently available to the AGC Group, based on the assumption that economic activity will continue to be suppressed in many countries and regions due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19.

Accounting Estimates and Errors

October 2018)

"Operating profit" in the Group's Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss is an indicator that facilitates continuous comparisons and evaluations of the Group's business performance. Main items of "other income" and "other expenses" are foreign exchange gains and losses, gains on sale of non-current assets, losses on disposal of non-current assets, impairment losses and expenses for restructuring programs. "Business profit" includes all income and expenses before finance income, finance costs and income tax expenses.

The Group calculated income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the estimated average annual effective tax rate.

(Changes in Accounting Estimates)

In preparing the Group's Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, judgments, estimates and assumptions are made that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Therefore accounting estimates could differ from actual results.

Estimates and assumptions that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements are in principle the same as the preceding fiscal year.

Estimates and their assumptions are reviewed continuously. The effect of reviewing estimates and assumptions are recognized in the period in which those estimates and assumptions were reviewed and in future periods.

(Segment Information)

The Group's reportable segments are components of the Group for which discrete financial information is available, and whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess performance.

The Group had four in-house companies by product and service: Building & Industrial Glass, Automotive, Electronics and Chemicals. Each in-house company operates worldwide, formulating comprehensive domestic and overseas strategies for its products and services.

Building & Industrial Glass and Automotive share the same float glass manufacturing facilities (glass melting furnace) etc., which are the largest assets and situated the highest upstream in the supply chain. The two in- house companies share assets and liabilities, and ratio of utilization is influenced by fluctuations of demand and supply. Considering these situations, it is difficult to divide financial statements for the two in-house companies. Therefore, the Group prepares the financial statements of Building & Industrial Glass and Automotive as the Glass segment. In addition, decisions on assigning management resources are closely tied to the results of each business and inseparable from their performance evaluation. Therefore, with the participation of presidents of both in-house companies, the Group has established a "Glass Segment Council," which primarily functions to maintain synergies and maximize overall production in the Glass segment, and collaborates to maximize profits for the Group. Based on these circumstances, the Group reports the Glass segment as one.

Thus, the Group has three reportable segments: Glass, Electronics, and Chemicals. The main products of each reportable segment are as follows.
