| With regards to the cumulative unit sales into the third quarter of FY 2024, the unit sales of the motorcycles businesses increased mainly in Brazil and Europe, achieving the highest-ever operating profits and operating margins |
| And we have a well-trusted brand power that is fruit of the cumulative efforts of my predecessors |
| And already, it's a 50-50 sort of a split between the ICE petrol-based cars and hybrids, and hybrid demand is very good and hybrids are available for high-grade models |
| Due to the solid demand in the United States and the production recovery in Japan leading to the incremental unit sales, the entire unit sales increased year-on-year |
| Because of that, we improved our profit structures and we had also improved more contact with the customers with many more models available to them |
| As we've been saying for the past, we are trying to reduce the fixed cost and also improve the revenue of new models, and incorporating these measures, plus the shortage, we are starting to recover from the shortage of semiconductor, and therefore, the revenue of automobile business is improving |
| And then the next 20 years of motorcycle businesses, going forward, our technology power to create attractive models with the cost containment, commercial values, financial power |
| And we have a very good demand |
| And now in South America, in Europe, we have a high-profit businesses, which is a good positive thing for us |
| In the automobile businesses, despite the impact of the warranty expenses, the volume went up mainly in North America, significantly raising the operating profits year-on-year |
| However, at Honda Duo Plus, it’s doing good, and we are getting the shares really high |
| We saw a positive impact on profit of JPY 282.4 billion mainly due to an increase of automobile sales, price, and cost impacts |
| India, Brazil, Turkey, European countries, including Turkey, our positive situation can continue for a while |
| In fact, we've had quite a good know-how since the last earthquake events |
| This is because of the semiconductor, the unit sales is in a positive range |
| It's the highest in terms of the quarterly result of motorcycle business |
| Operating profit marked a record high of JPY 411.5 billion in motorcycle business |
| Sales impacts, a positive profit -- for sales impacts is positive of JPY 360.6 billion, mainly due to an increase in automobile unit sales, price, and cost impacts |
| The pricing that reflects increased products value, a decrease in precious metal prices and other raw material costs had a positive impact of JPY 359.8 billion |
| Although there is labor cost increase,pricing relating to the increased product value plus decrease in raw materials such as precious metals, will result in a JPY 40 billion increase in profit |
| The production situation is very well good now |
| And as a head office, we have a good organization to ensure those control |
| Well, until the third quarter, I think that you are making good progress about the third quarter |
| In spite of the negative impact of warranty expenses, we had incremental sales of automobiles and the pricing scheme that reflects the commercial value of the products and so on due to which the operating profit increased by JPY 342.4 billion year-on-year to reach JPY 1.0763 trillion |
| Therefore, year-on-year, it is a positive because of this |
| And Indonesia sales next term, it will be on the positive side, I believe |
| Honda will accelerate our efforts to improve capital efficiencies in order to enhance corporate values |
| For our hybrid has been really well appraised so far in the United States called CRV |
| But in terms of the hybrid, popularity is quite solid |
| In terms of the cumulative results until third quarter, despite the unit sales fell in Vietnam vehicles because of the economic slowdown, we had a stable demand growth in Indonesia and Brazil, thus the entire result ended up at the equivalent level last year |
| Statement |

| But in the second quarter, there was a rushed issue of the airframes because of which we had a unit sales falling down |
| Increase in warranty expenses plus other factors had a negative impact on profit of JPY 366.6 billion |
| I think the fourth quarter will be showing a slowdown in your operating profit increase |
| R&D expenses, a negative impact of JPY 51 billion on profits |
| Meanwhile, the downside, North America economy and also the impact of the earthquake, these will be the downside factors |
| So, there is this a shift towards that and also, the reduction in ICE market and I think that this situation continues to be tough for us |
| Power products business, total sales amounted to 2,548,000 units led by decrease in North America |
| And in terms of the financial statement, we believe that this is a failure coming from supplier side |
| Motorcycles, a decline to 13,961 million units compared to the same period last year, mainly due to decrease in Asia |
| And if we underperform, then we think that our market performance, as we shift to that, will not be good for us |
| Negative thing could be |
| or the places like that, there were a shortage of the laborers at the supplier and equipment problem because the equipments were not running for quite a long time |
| In terms of the sales forecast of the FY 2024, we are expecting the sales drop in Thailand and Indonesia |
| And in Vietnam, the export businesses are facing with a tough situation because of the economic stagnation |
| R&D expenses had a negative impact of JPY 28.5 billion |
| Sales impacts, negative JPY 11 billion, mainly due to decrease in consolidated unit sales and price and cost impact |
| And so, this was a major challenge |
| And the current situation is, that for a long time, the automobile revenue had dropped and therefore, the share prices were not increasing because of this situation |
| And there was a failure with the seat weight sensor |
| Speaking of the results forecast of FY 2024, we expect unit sales reduction in Vietnam and in Japan |
