SoftBank Group Corp. Consolidated Financial Report
For the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2020
Changes in presentation of Consolidated Statement of Income and reportable segments
SoftBank Group Corp. ("SBG") is a strategic investment holding company managing a portfolio of investments, made either directly (including investments through subsidiaries) or through investment funds (such as SoftBank Vision Fund), in a wide range of companies. On April 1, 2020, Sprint ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company following the completion of the merger between Sprint and T-Mobile US, Inc. Given that investment activities have taken on greater importance in the Company's overall consolidated financial results, the Company has revised the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Income from the first quarter.
Specifically, "operating income" will no longer be presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Instead, "gain (loss) on investments" will be used in order to show investment performance in the consolidated financial results. This change in presentation was made because the previously used "operating income" excluded gain and loss on investments, other than gain and loss on investments included in "operating income from SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds." The Company determined "operating income" was not useful in appropriately presenting the consolidated financial results of a strategic investment holding company. The newly established "gain (loss) on investments" includes (1) realized gain and loss on sales of investment securities (financial assets at FVTPL) and investments accounted for using the equity method; (2) unrealized gain and loss on valuation of financial assets at FVTPL; (3) dividend income from investments; and (4) derivative gain and loss related to financial assets at FVTPL and other investments. Derivative gain and loss not included in the above "gain (loss) on investments" is shown as "derivative gain (loss) (excluding gain (loss) on investments)." Income on equity method investments, which recognizes the Company's equity interest in the net income and loss of applicable portfolio companies, is presented as "income on equity method investments" as before. The Consolidated Statement of Income for the same period of the previous fiscal year has been restated and presented in the same manner.
In light of the greater importance of investment activities to the Company's overall consolidated financial results, as mentioned above, the Company has also changed its segment classifications from the first quarter. There are now five reportable segments: Investment Business of Holding Companies, SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds, SoftBank, Arm, and Brightstar. See "OVERVIEW" under "(a) Investment Business of Holding Companies Segment" in "b. Results by Segment" on page 14 for the overview of the newly established Investment Business of Holding Companies segment. In line with ending the presentation of "operating income" in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Company has revised segment income in each reportable segment to "income before income tax." Segment information for the same period of the previous fiscal year has also been restated to conform to the revised reportable segments.

PROGRAM TO SELL OR MONETIZE ¥4.5 TRILLION OF ASSETS (¥4.5 TRILLION PROGRAM)
On March 23, 2020, SBG announced a program to sell or monetize ¥4.5 trillion of assets held. The funds obtained from the sale and monetization will be used to repurchase up to ¥2 trillion of the Company's common stock, with the balance to be used for debt redemptions, bond buybacks, and to increase cash reserves (collectively, the "¥4.5 trillion program"). Of this, ¥4.3 trillion of assets held were sold or monetized as of August 3, 2020, as shown in the table below. Meanwhile, the share repurchases of up to ¥2 trillion were originally intended to be executed over four quarters from March 23, 2020; however, in light of the uncertainty in market trends and other factors, it is possible that the repurchases may not be completed by the end of March 2021, as originally scheduled.
Given the current concern for a second or third wave of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), SBG believes that it needs to further enhance its cash reserves. SBG is investing the funds raised until such cash reserves are used for the planned share repurchases and debt reductions, together with other surplus funds, in high-quality, highly liquid marketable securities and other instruments, in addition to holding the funds in cash and deposits, while being firmly committed to its existing financial policies on LTV (loan-to-value, the ratio of liabilities to holding assets) and cash on hand.

a. Completion of the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile US, Inc.
The merger of Sprint, which had been a U.S. subsidiary of the Company, and T-Mobile US, Inc. in an all-stock transaction (the "Merger") was completed on April 1, 2020. As consideration for the Merger, the Company received 304,606,049 T-Mobile shares and the right to acquire 48,751,557 T-Mobile shares for no additional considerations if certain conditions are met (the "Contingent Consideration"). As of the same date, Sprint ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company, and the combined new company, T-Mobile, became an equity method associate of the Company with a 24.7% shareholding. See "3. Discontinued operations" under "(6) Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements" in "3. Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes" for details.

As a result of the decrease in voting rights following the sale of shares on June 26, 2020, the Company lost its significant influence over T-Mobile and, on the same date, T-Mobile was removed as an equity method associate of the Company.

- For a call option over 44,905,479 shares out of the 101,491,623 shares, the strike price is $103.00 per share. Deutsche Telekom can exercise this option at any time after the option grant date.

considered as the amount of assets monetized under the ¥4.5 trillion program (after deducting the $2.08 billion cap on the guaranteed obligations). As a precondition for SBG to fulfill its guarantee obligations, the lenders are obligated to first recover, to the maximum extent possible, from Alibaba shares held that have been pledged as collateral for the margin loan.
2. Partial monetization of Alibaba shares through prepaid forward contracts
From April to June 2020, SBG's wholly owned subsidiaries, West Raptor Holdings 2, LLC, Skybridge LLC, and Skylark 2020 Holdings Limited, entered into several prepaid forward contracts using Alibaba shares with financial institutions. The Company procured an aggregate amount of $13.7 billion. Alibaba remains an equity method associate of the Company following these transactions.
In addition, Scout 2020 Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of SBG, entered into a prepaid forward contract using Alibaba shares with financial institutions in July 2020, procuring $0.9 billion.
3. Partial sale of SoftBank Corp. shares
On May 22, 2020, SBG sold 240,000,000 shares of common stock of its subsidiary SoftBank Corp. (out of the 3,182,919,470 shares held through SoftBank Group Japan Corporation) for ¥310.2 billion through several securities companies. Since SoftBank Corp. continues to be a subsidiary of SBG following this sale, the amount equivalent to the after-tax gain on the sale was recorded as capital surplus in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. In addition, a credit of income taxes (profit) was recorded, mainly due to the determination that the transaction has increased the probability of generating taxable income at SoftBank Group Japan Corporation that is available for the use of loss carryforwards, to which deferred tax assets had not been recognized.

IMPACT FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
There is still no sign of an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collected by Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. indicate that as of August 2, 2020, the total number of COVID-19 cases worldwide surpassed 18 million. The number of infections continues to increase in countries such as the U.S., India, Brazil, and African nations. Global stock markets, which had plunged from late February 2020, are starting to rebound to their pre-plunge levels, but continue to be volatile due to concerns about a second or third wave of the virus.
SoftBank Vision Fund recorded gain on investments of ¥296,577 million in the first quarter, an improvement of ¥1.4 trillion from the prior quarter, supported by a recovery in fair value of investments centered on listed portfolio companies due to a rebound in public equity markets. The impact on portfolio companies from the COVID-19 pandemic varies significantly across sectors. Online businesses such as e-commerce and food delivery have seen an increase in customer engagement, while businesses such as travel and hospitality remain adversely impacted. The pandemic is expected to continue to affect each portfolio company differently in the future.

- Net Sales
Net sales increased in the SoftBank and Arm segments, but decreased in the Brightstar segment.

Gain relating to sales of T-Mobile shares of ¥421,863 million was recorded. In the same period of the previous fiscal year, a gain of ¥1,218,527 million relating to settlement of prepaid forward contract using Alibaba shares was recorded. See "(a) Investment Business of Holding Companies Segment" under "b. Results by Segment" for details.
- Gain on Investments at SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds
Realized gain on sales of investments of ¥111,425 million was recorded as a result of the sale by SoftBank Vision Fund of a portion of its shares in four listed portfolio companies' and all shares of three unlisted portfolio companies (including share exchanges with the shares of affiliated portfolio companies). In addition, unrealized gain on valuation of ¥258,056 million (net) from 86 investments held at the first quarter-end was recorded. See "(b) SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds Segment" under "b. Results by Segment" for details.
Primarily as a result of B and C, gain on investments was ¥982,952 million, a decrease of ¥664,081 million (40.3%) year on year.
- Finance Cost
Interest expenses increased ¥2,039 million in the Investment Business of Holding Companies segment, ¥2,699 million in the SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds segment, and ¥2,243 million in the SoftBank segment.
- Income on Equity Method Investments
Income on equity method investments of ¥24,736 million related to T-Mobile for the period from April 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020 was recorded, which was not recorded for the same period of the previous fiscal year. On the other hand, loss on equity method investments related to Alibaba deteriorated ¥107,586 million to ¥18,472 million. This was mainly due to the recording of investment loss on investments classified as financial assets at FVTPL during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020,2 following the fall in stock markets due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
- Derivative Gain (Loss) (Excluding Gain (Loss) on Investments)

2 The Company applies equity method to Alibaba's consolidated financial statements for a reporting period staggered by three months in the past, since it is impractical to align reporting periods with Alibaba due to factors such as contracts with the company. Necessary adjustments have been made to reflect important transactions and events announced by Alibaba during the staggered three-month period.

The Company's reportable segments are the components of its business activities for which decisions on resource allocation and assessment of performance are made.

For the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2020
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
While COVID-19 continues to impact global economies and financial markets, SoftBank Vision Fund has seen significant variation in impact across sectors. Online businesses such as e-commerce and food delivery have seen an increase in customer engagement, while businesses such as travel and hospitality remain adversely impacted. In the Company's Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the fair value measurement of portfolio companies was based on expected company-specificCOVID-19 impact as of June 30, 2020, liquidity positions of each company, market conditions and comparables, and increased market volatility. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to affect each portfolio company differently in the future.
As a result, SBIA has worked with individual portfolio companies to establish a customized roadmap to recovery and share advice on how to reduce costs, assess various approaches globally for recovery, retain flexibility, develop scenario plans for disruptions in global supply chains, and analyze changes in customer behaviors. In some industries SBIA is working with companies to capitalize on growth opportunities, whereas in others, it is guiding them towards a more cautious approach to focus on optimizing cash reserves. Across the entirety of the portfolio, regardless of sector or geography, SBIA has encouraged all companies to use this time to reassess their expenses, optimize and streamline their businesses, preserve business flexibility and maintain clear contingency plans. While the duration of COVID-19 is unpredictable, SBIA is committed to helping the SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio companies get through the crisis and continues to believe the majority of its companies are well positioned to emerge from this difficult time stronger and with best practices in place.

Note:
1. This refers mainly to loss on equity method investments related to PayPay Corporation. At SoftBank Corp., PayPay Corporation is classified as an equity method affiliate, however, PayPay Corporation has consistently been classified as a subsidiary at SBG since its founding in June 2018 and with its financial results included in "Other." For this reason, loss on equity method investments related to PayPay Corporation recognized in the SoftBank segment is eliminated in the "Reconciliations" account of segment information.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Segment income decreased ¥2,447 million (0.9%) year on year, to ¥259,249 million. Although Z Holdings Corporation and the enterprise business underpinned the growth, they could not fully offset the negative impact of lower income in the retail consumers business, decreased gain on investments, and increased loss on equity method investments.
Income increased in Z Holdings Corporation and in the enterprise business, respectively. For Z Holdings Cor- poration, this was mainly due to the consolidation of ZOZO, Inc. in November 2019 and an increase in revenue of the existing e-commerce business. For the enterprises business, it was due to an increase in net sales of cloud services and security solutions, following the expansion of telework to address the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, income decreased year on year due to factors including the impact of discounts for price plans, despite continued steady growth in the cumulative number of smartphone subscribers.
Business integration of Z Holdings Corporation and LINE Corporation
In December 2019, Z Holdings Corporation and LINE Corporation, along with SoftBank Corp. and NAVER Cor- poration, concluded a four-way definitive agreement regarding a business integration (the "Business Integration"). Z Holdings Corporation, as the listed integrated company resulting from the Business Integration, is expected to become a subsidiary of the Company and SoftBank Corp. As part of the transactions to realize the Business Inte- gration, on August 3, 2020, SoftBank Corp. and a wholly owned subsidiary of NAVER Corporation decided to commence a tender offer for shares of LINE Corporation. The tender offer commenced on August 4, 2020. In line with this decision, the Business Integration is expected to be completed around March 2021.

Note: Segment income includes amortization expenses of ¥12,215 million for the first quarter and ¥12,868 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year. These expenses are related to intangible assets recognized in the purchase price allocation at the time of the acquisition of Arm.
OVERVIEW
Arm's operations are primarily the licensing of semiconductor intellectual property (IP), including the design of energy-efficient microprocessors and associated technologies. Arm has accelerated investment in R&D by hiring more engineers. With the expansion of its engineering capability, Arm can develop new technologies that will help it maintain or increase its share of the existing markets and expand into new markets.
Industry trends and their impact
Semiconductor industry trends can have a significant impact on Arm's financial results. The industry is vulnerable to external factors, including trade disputes and sanctions against specific companies, and also the impact from reduction in economic activity caused by COVID-19. For this fiscal year, from these impacts, if shipments of consumer electronics devices continue to be weak, it may lead to lower technology royalty revenue, and if licensees that face reduced revenues continue to delay licensing decisions, it may lead to lower technology licensing revenue. However, it is difficult to anticipate the negative impact on the whole semiconductor industry or Arm at this point.
Although those risks still remain, as market conditions improve, Arm expects that its business will continue to grow again. In addition, Arm is expecting that as technology becomes more advanced, its technology will be further utilized and opportunities will expand over the long term.

Technology licensing
Technology licensing revenue decreased $3 million (2.4%) year on year. Despite having the increased uncertainty around the semiconductor industry from the impact of COVID-19, the number of licenses signed in the first quarter remained solid at 42. Although some customers delayed signing new licenses, Arm expects that if economic conditions improve, most of these customers will resume licensing Arm technology.
Technology royalty
Technology royalty revenue increased $42 million (17.5%) year on year. Shipments of 5G smartphones and networking equipment by the licensees increased, which contributed to increasing technology royalty revenue.
Software and services
Software and services revenues were flat year on year.
Segment income
Segment loss was ¥13,340 million, deteriorating by ¥2,167 million year on year. This was due to an increase in personnel expenses as a result of the ongoing hiring of employees, mainly technology-related personnel, to enhance the R&D capabilities. The number of Arm employees increased 744 (12.3%) from the end of the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 6,808 at the first quarter-end.

Growth rate (yoy) | (9.4%) | 0.2% | 3.2% | 11.1% | 14.6% |
Arm's licensees reported shipments of 5.5 billion Arm-based chips for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. Arm's unit shipments increased 14.6% year on year, while shipments by the Arm relevant part of the semiconductor industry increased 4.3%8 during the same period. However, as mentioned in "Industry trends and their impact" above, it is likely that fewer chips will be sold this fiscal year than otherwise would be due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and other impacts. Despite fewer chips being sold, as the use of Arm technology increases, Arm still expects to continue to maintain or gain share in its target end markets.

2. Notes to Summary Information
- Significant Changes in Scope of Consolidation for the Three-month Period Ended June 30, 2020 (Specified subsidiary (three entities) excluded from the scope of consolidation)
On April 1, 2020 (EST), the merger of Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") and T-Mobile US, Inc. in an all-stock transaction ("the Transaction") was completed. Upon completion of the Transaction, Starburst I, Inc. and Sprint which were specified subsidiaries of the Company, and Sprint Communications, Inc. which was a subsidiary of Sprint, were no longer subsidiaries of the Company. The details are described in "Note 3. Discontinued operations" in "(6) Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements" under "3. Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes."
(2) Changes in Accounting Estimates
(Changes in estimate for use of loss carryforwards)
On May 22, 2020, SoftBank Group Japan Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, transferred a portion of SoftBank Corp. shares (ownership percentage: 5.0%)
As a result of the transaction, it was probable that taxable income would be available for a loss carry forward whose deferred tax asset was not recognized in SoftBank Group Japan Corporation. Accordingly, a credit of income taxes (profit) was recorded due to the change in estimate. The details are described in "Note 7. Income taxes" in "(6) Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements" under "3. Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes."
(Allowance for loan commitment losses)
As of June 30, 2020, expected credit losses for a loan commitment for WeWork, an equity method associate of the Company, were estimated. As a result, reversal of allowance was recorded for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. The details are described "Note" in "Note 15. Other gain (loss)" in "(6) Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements" under "3. Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes."

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Changes in presentation
(Condensed interim consolidated statement of income)
a. Continuing operations and discontinued operations are presented separately for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. In order to reflect the change, the presentation has been reclassified similarly for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The details are described in "Note 3. Discontinued operations."
b. SoftBank Group Corp. is a strategic investment holding company that conducts investments and manages investment portfolios in a number of companies directly (including investments through subsidiaries) or through investment funds (such as SoftBank Vision Fund). The Company has been focusing on the investment activities including those led by SoftBank Vision Fund that began its operation in 2017, thereby transforming business structures.
Following the completion of the merger between Sprint and T-Mobile US, Inc. on April 1, 2020, Sprint has been no longer a subsidiary of the Company from that date. As a result, the materiality of the investment activities has increased even further for the overall consolidated financial results of the Company. Consequently, the Company has revised the presentation of the consolidated statement of income from the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. "Operating income," as previously presented, did not include gain and loss on investments other than those included in "Operating income from SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds." Therefore, the Company determined that it was no longer meaningful to appropriately present the consolidated financial results of the Company as a strategic investment holding company. For these reasons, the Company determined not to present "Operating income" in the consolidated statement of income from the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.
In connection with this change, the Company also determined to present "Gain (loss) on investments" in the consolidated statement of income from the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 in order to clearly present investment performance in the consolidated financial results of the Company. "Gain (loss) on investments" includes realized gain and loss from sales of investments in financial assets at FVTPL for which investment performance is measured at fair value, unrealized gain and loss on valuation of investments, dividend income from investments, derivative gain and loss relating to financial assets at FVTPL, and realized gain and loss from sales of investments accounted for using the equity method.
Furthermore, the Company determined to present, as component of "Gain (loss) on investments," "Gain (loss) on investments at Investment Business of Holding Companies," "Gain (loss) on investments at SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds," and "Gain (loss) on other investments." Investment Business of Holding Companies segment is included in the reportable segments from the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. The details are described in "Note 4. Segment information." Derivative gain and loss other than those mentioned above are presented as "Derivative gain (loss) (excluding gain (loss) on investments)." In addition, income or loss on equity method investments arising from recognizing the Company's share in profit or loss of the investees is presented as "Income on equity method investments" as previously presented.
In order to reflect these changes in presentation, similar reclassifications have been made to the condensed interim consolidated statement of income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. Details of the reclassifications are as follows.

2. Significant accounting policies
Significant accounting policies applied to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as the accounting policies applied to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, except for the following. In addition, income taxes for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 are calculated based on the estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year.
(Significant accounting policies for the SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds segment)
For SoftBank Vision Fund, the Company applies the following accounting policies.
a. Consolidation of SoftBank Vision Fund by the Company
SoftBank Vision Fund is a limited partnership established by its general partner which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and by its form of organization, qualifies as a structured entity. SoftBank Vision Fund is consolidated by the Company for the following reasons.
The various entities comprising SoftBank Vision Fund make investment decisions through its investment committee, which was established as a committee of SBIA. SBIA is an advisory company and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As such, the Company has power as defined under IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" over SoftBank Vision Fund. Furthermore, SBIA receives performance fees and the Company receives distributions attributable to limited partners based on the investment performance as returns from SoftBank Vision Fund. The Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over SoftBank Vision Fund, and therefore, the Company is deemed to have control as stipulated in IFRS 10 over SoftBank Vision Fund.
Inter-company transactions such as management fees and performance fees to SBIA paid or to be paid from SoftBank Vision Fund are eliminated in consolidation.
b. Portfolio company investments made by SoftBank Vision Fund
-
Investments in subsidiaries
Of the portfolio company investments made by SoftBank Vision Fund, the portfolio companies that the Company is deemed to control under IFRS 10 are subsidiaries of the Company. Accordingly, their results of operations, assets and liabilities are included in the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Gain and loss on investments in the subsidiaries of the Company which are recognized in SoftBank Vision Fund are eliminated in consolidation. - Investments in associates and joint ventures
Of the portfolio company investments made by SoftBank Vision Fund, the portfolio companies over which the Company has significant influence under IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" are associates of the Company, and the portfolio companies that are joint ventures of SoftBank Vision Fund when, as defined under IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements," SoftBank Vision Fund has joint control with other investors under contractual arrangements and the investors have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
The investments in associates and joint ventures of the Company made by SoftBank Vision Fund are accounted for as financial assets at FVTPL in accordance with paragraph 18 of IAS 28, and presented as "Investments from SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds accounted for using FVTPL" in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position. The payments for these investments are presented as "Payments for
53
SoftBank Group Corp. Consolidated Financial Report
For the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2020
acquisition of investments by SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds" under cash flows from investing activities in the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows.
(c) Other investments
Investments other than those in associates or joint ventures of the Company made by SoftBank Vision Fund are accounted for as financial assets at FVTPL. The presentation of these investments in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position and the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows are the same as the above "(b) Investments in associates and joint ventures."
c. Contribution from limited partners to SoftBank Vision Fund
SoftBank Vision Fund issues capital calls to its limited partners ("Capital Call").
(a) Contribution from limited partners other than the Company
The interests attributable to limited partners other than the Company ("Third-Party Investors") are classified as financial liabilities, "Third-party interests in SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds" in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position, due to the predetermined finite life and contractual payment provision to each of the limited partners at the end of the finite life within the limited partnership agreement. The liabilities are classified as "financial liabilities measured at amortized cost" upon initial recognition. The carrying amounts attributable to Third-Party Investors represent the amounts that would be distributed in accordance with the limited partnership agreement in a theoretical liquidation scenario at the end of each quarter.
"Third-party interests in SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds" fluctuates due to the results of SoftBank Vision Fund in addition to contributions from Third-Party Investors in satisfaction of Capital Call, and distributions and repayments of investments to Third-Party Investors. The fluctuations due to the results of SoftBank Vision Fund are presented as "Change in third-party interests in SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds" in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income.
Contributions from Third-Party Investors to SoftBank Vision Fund are included in "Contributions into SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds from third-party investors" under cash flows from financing activities in the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows. The distributions and repayments of investments to Third-Party Investors are included in "Distribution/repayment from SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds to third-party investors" under cash flows from financing activities in the condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows.
Uncalled committed capital from Third-Party Investors is not subject to IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments," and, therefore, such amount is not recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position.
(b) Contribution from the Company
Contributions from the Company as limited partners are eliminated in consolidation.

3. Discontinued operations
As of March 31, 2020, it was highly probable that Sprint would merge with T-Mobile US, Inc. and would no longer be a subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, assets, liabilities, and accumulated other comprehensive income of Sprint were reclassified as a disposal group classified as held for sale. The disposal group classified as held for sale was measured at the carrying amount as the fair value of T-Mobile US, Inc. shares which the Company acquired from the merger transaction was higher than the carrying amount of Sprint shares.
On April 1, Starburst I, Inc. which held Sprint shares and Galaxy Investment Holdings, Inc. were merged with and into Huron Merger Sub LLC, a U.S. subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc. and directly owned by T-Mobile US, Inc., with Huron Merger Sub LLC as the surviving company. In addition, Superior Merger Sub Corp., a U.S. subsidiary of Huron Merger Sub LLC and directly owned by Huron Merger Sub LLC, was merged with and into Sprint, with Sprint as the surviving company. As a result of the transactions, Sprint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile which was a new company after the merger and owned Sprint indirectly.
As a result, Sprint was no longer a subsidiary of the Company and T-Mobile became an equity method associate of the Company from that date. The difference between the total fair value less costs to sell as of April 1, 2020 for acquired T-Mobile shares as consideration of the merger transaction and acquiring shares when certain contingency is satisfied (the "contingent consideration"), and the carrying amount of Sprint (assets, liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income, and non-controlling interests in Sprint) was recorded as gain relating to loss of control for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. In addition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests in Sprint at the time of loss of control over Sprint is ¥424,746 million.
The Company surrendered to T-Mobile an aggregate of 48,751,557 shares of T-Mobile common stock, of the 353,357,606 shares to be received from the Transaction, effective immediately following the closing of the Transaction. If the trailing 45-dayvolume-weighted average price per share of T-Mobile common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is equal to or greater than $150 at any time during the period commencing on the second anniversary of the closing date and ending on December 31, 2025, T-Mobile will re-issue to the Company, for no additional consideration, a number of shares of T-Mobile common stock equal to the abovementioned number of shares to be surrendered, subject to the terms and conditions included as part of the Business Combination Agreement.
The Company recognizes the fair value of the contingent consideration as "Derivative financial assets (non-current)" in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position and ¥196,313 million is recorded as of the acquisition date. In addition, changes in the fair value after the acquisition date is recognized as "Gain on investments at Investment Business of Holding Companies" in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income.
Operating results related to Sprint for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 and gain relating to loss of control over Sprint for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 are presented as discontinued operations, separately from continuing operations, in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income.
In addition, of 304,606,049 shares of T-Mobile common stock held, 173,564,426 shares were transferred by the Company on June 26, 2020. As a result of the transaction, due to the decrease in voting rights ratio resulted from the share transfer, the Company had no significant influence over T-Mobile and T-Mobile was no longer considered as an equity method associate of the Company. The details are described in "Note 17. Additional information."

4. Segment information
(1) Description of reportable segments
The Company's reportable segments are components of business activities for which discrete financial information is available, and such information is regularly reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors in order to make decisions about the allocation of resources and assess its performance.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had four reportable segments, the SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds segment, the SoftBank segment, the Arm segment, and the Brightstar segment. Following the completion of the merger between Sprint and T-Mobile US, Inc. on April 1, 2020, Sprint has been no longer a subsidiary of the Company from that date. As a result, the materiality of the investment activities has increased even further for the overall consolidated financial results of the Company. Consequently, business segments that are regularly reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors have been changed. Accordingly, from the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company has revised its segment classifications to the following five reportable segments: the Investment Business of Holding Companies segment, the SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds segment, the SoftBank segment, the Arm segment, and the Brightstar segment.
The Investment Business of Holding Companies segment conducts, mainly through SoftBank Group Corp. as a strategic investment holding company, investment activities in a wide range of sectors in Japan and overseas directly or through subsidiaries of the Company. The Investment Business of Holding Companies segment consists of SoftBank Group Corp., SoftBank Group Capital Limited, SoftBank Group Japan Corporation, and certain subsidiaries of the Company that conduct investment or funding. Gain and loss on investments at Investment Business of Holding Companies consists of gain and loss arising from investments held directly by SoftBank Group Corp. or through subsidiaries of the Company. However, gain and loss on investments relating to investments in subsidiaries including dividend income from subsidiaries and impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries are excluded.
The SoftBank Vision Fund and Other SBIA-Managed Funds segment conducts, mainly through SoftBank Vision Fund, investment activities in a wide range of technology sectors. Gain and loss on investments at SoftBank Vision Fund and other SBIA-managed funds consists of gain and loss arising from investments held by SoftBank Vision Fund including the investment in the Company's subsidiary.
The SoftBank segment provides, mainly through SoftBank Corp., mobile communications services, sale of mobile devices, fixed-line telecommunication services such as broadband services in Japan, and through Z Holdings Corporation, internet advertising and e-commerce business.
The Arm segment provides, through Arm, designs of microprocessor intellectual property and related technology, the sale of software tools, and software services.
The Brightstar segment provides, through Brightstar, distribution of mobile devices overseas.
Information on business segments which are not included in the reportable segments is classified in "Other." "Other" includes mainly PayPay Corporation, Fortress, the investment fund business in Latin America, and the Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS-related operations.
"Reconciliations" includes an elimination of intersegment transactions, as well as an elimination of income on equity method investments recognized relating to PayPay Corporation, which is included in segment income of the Softbank segment. Such income on equity method investments is eliminated because the Company consolidates PayPay Corporation as its subsidiary and related amounts are also included in "Other."
Segment information for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 is presented based on the reportable segments after the aforementioned change.
58
SoftBank Group Corp. Consolidated Financial Report
For the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2020
(2) Net sales and income of reportable segments
Income of reportable segments is defined as "Income before income tax." In accordance with the change in presentation of the consolidated statement of income where "Operating income" is no longer presented, which has been implemented from the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, income of reportable segments to be reported to the Company's Board of Directors in order to make decisions about the allocation of resources and assess its performance has been changed from "Operating income" to "Income before income tax." The details are described in "Note 1. Changes in presentation." As in the consolidated statement of income, "Gain (loss) on investments" included in segment income includes realized gain and loss from sales of investments in financial assets at FVTPL for which investment performance is measured at fair value, unrealized gain and loss on valuation of investments, dividend income from investments, derivative gain and loss relating to investments in financial assets at FVTPL, and realized gain and loss from sales of investments accounted for using the equity method. The Investment Business of Holding Companies segment calculates its segment income by eliminating gain and loss on investments relating to investments in subsidiaries, including dividend income from subsidiaries and impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries.
Intersegment transaction prices are determined under the same general business conditions as applied for external customers.

a. Terms and conditions of contribution from/ distribution to limited partners
Contributions by the limited partners are classified as "Equity" and "Preferred Equity" depending on the terms and conditions of distribution. Preferred Equity is prioritized over Equity with regard to distribution and return of contribution.

Those performance-based distributions and performance fees attributed to SBIA will be allocated using the method specified in the limited partnership agreement. The amount of performance-based distribution attributed to limited partners will be allocated to each limited partner based on the proportion of their respective Equity contribution. The amount of performance-based distributions is paid to each limited partner after SoftBank Vision Fund receives cash through dividend, or disposition or monetization of investments.
Fixed distributions are defined as distributions of Preferred Equity holders which are calculated equal to a 7% rate per annum based on their contributions. The fixed distributions are made every last business day of the months June and December.
In the following table, Third-Party Investors contributing Equity are defined as "Investors entitled to performance- based distribution" and Third-Party Investors contributing Preferred Equity are defined as "Investors entitled to fixed distribution."

Derivative financial assets (non-current)
The increase was primarily due to the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of T-Mobile shares and the prepaid forward contracts using Alibaba shares. The details are described in "Note 3. Discontinued operations" and "Notes 2" in "(1) Components of interest-bearing debt" under "Note 8. Interest-bearing debt." - Income taxes
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020
On May 22, 2020, as part of "SoftBank announces ¥4.5 trillion ($41 billion) program to repurchase shares and reduce debt" announced on March 23, 2020 (the "¥4.5 trillion program"), SoftBank Group Japan Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, transferred a portion of SoftBank Corp. shares (ownership percentage 5.0%) and received ¥310,200 million of proceeds. As a result, the ownership percentage in SoftBank Corp. by the Company has changed from 67.1% to 62.1%. As SoftBank Corp. remains a subsidiary, ¥96,081 million, the equivalent amount of income taxes for gain on sales of SoftBank Corp. shares on a consolidation basis, is deducted from capital surplus as "Changes in interests in subsidiaries."
As a result of the transaction, it was probable that taxable income would be available for a loss carry forward whose deferred tax asset was not recognized in SoftBank Group Japan Corporation and a credit of income taxes (profit) was recorded for ¥37,933 million. Furthermore, a deductible temporary difference, associated with an investment in SoftBank Corp. whose deferred tax asset was not recognized, was reversed and a credit of income taxes (profit) was recorded for ¥20,214 million.

In addition to the prepaid forward contracts, the call spread (combination of long position of call option and short position of call option with different strike prices) contract is entered into in preparation for Alibaba shares price rise. A portion of the procured amount is used for the payment of option premium.
The above prepaid forward contracts are classified as hybrid financial instruments with embedded derivatives and the embedded derivatives are measured at fair value and the call spread is measured at fair value as well. Embedded derivatives are recognized for ¥113,966 million as "Derivative financial assets (non-current)" and for ¥28,107 million as "Derivative financial liabilities (non-current)" and the call spread is recognized for ¥28,032 million as "Derivative financial assets (non-current)" in the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2020.
