1. Due to organizational changes as of April 1, 2021, from Q1 FY21, Sony will transfer some of the businesses and functions previously included within All Other and Corporate and elimination to the EP&S segment, and make changes to the business segment classification for performance reporting. As a result of this segment change, sales and operating income for EP&S, All Other and Corporate and elimination for FY20 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for FY21.
   This reclassification is not a measure in accordance with US GAAP. However, Sony believes that this disclosure may be useful information to investors. For the reconciliation of figures in accordance with U.S. GAAP, see pages 7 and 8 of the "Consolidated Financial Statements for FY20."
2. All Other + Corp. Elim
3. Sales and operating revenue to external customers.
