However, Sony believes that these disclosures may be useful information to investors. For further details about Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA including their formulas and reconciliations, see pages 23-29 (applies to all following pages). *1 “Sales” is used to mean “sales and financial services revenue” in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (applies to all following pages). *2 Sony conducted a five-for-one stock split of its common stock effective October 1, 2024, with a record date of September 30, 2024. The above figures for Net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders per share of common stock (diluted) are calculated based on the assumption that the stock split was conducted at the beginning of FY23 (applies to all following pages). *3 The differences between Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA on a consolidated basis represent financial income and financial expenses (excluding interest expenses, net, and gains on revaluation of equity instruments, net). Adjusted EBITDA by segment is not calculated and disclosed because Sony does not include financial income and financial expenses in its performance evaluations by segment, mainly due to the fact that Sony manages its foreign exchange exposure centrally and globally, except for the Financial Services segment (applies to all following pages).

Notes Notes about Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted OIBDA (Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) are calculated by the following formulas: Adjusted OIBDA = Operating income + Depreciation and amortization expense* - the profit and loss amount that Sony deems non-recurring Adjusted EBITDA = Net income attributable to Sony Group Corporation’s stockholders + Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests + Income taxes + Interest expenses, net, recorded in Financial income and Financial expense - Gain on revaluation of equity instruments, net, recorded in Financial income and Financial expense + Depreciation and amortization expense* - the profit and loss amount that Sony deems non-recurring * In the above formulas, depreciation and amortization expense excludes amortization for film costs and broadcasting rights, as well as for internally developed game content and master recordings included in Content assets. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, Sony believes that these disclosures may be useful information to investors. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, Sony’s results in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Sales on a Constant Currency Basis and the Impact of Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuations The descriptions of sales on a constant currency basis reflect sales calculated by applying the yen’s monthly average exchange rates from the same period of the previous fiscal year to local currency-denominated monthly sales in the relevant period of the current fiscal year. For Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”) and Sony Music Publishing LLC (“SMP”) in the Music segment, and in the Pictures segment, the constant currency amounts are calculated by applying the monthly average U.S. dollar / yen exchange rates after aggregation on a U.S. dollar basis. Results for the Pictures segment are described on a U.S. dollar basis as the Pictures segment reflects the operations of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. (“SPE”), a U.S.-based operation that aggregates the results of its worldwide subsidiaries in U.S. dollars. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on sales is calculated by applying the change in the yen’s periodic weighted average exchange rate for the same period of the previous fiscal year from the relevant period of the current fiscal year to the major transactional currencies in which the sales are denominated. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on operating income (loss) is calculated by subtracting from the impact on sales the impact on cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses calculated by applying the same major transactional currencies calculation process to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses as for the impact on sales. The I&SS segment enters into its own foreign exchange hedging transactions, and the impact of those transactions is included in the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on sales and operating income (loss) for that segment. This information is not a substitute for Sony’s consolidated financial statements and condensed (semi-annual) consolidated financial statements measured in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, Sony believes that these disclosures provide additional useful analytical information to investors regarding the operating performance of Sony. Notes about Financial Performance of the Music, Pictures and Financial Services segments The Music segment results include the yen-based results of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and the yen-translated results of SME and SMP, which aggregate the results of their worldwide subsidiaries on a U.S. dollar basis. The Pictures segment results are the yen-translated results of SPE, which aggregates the results of its worldwide subsidiaries on a U.S. dollar basis. Management analyzes the results of SPE in U.S. dollars, so discussion of certain portions of its results is specified as being on “a U.S. dollar basis”. The Financial Services segment results include SFGI and SFGI’s consolidated subsidiaries such as Sony Life Insurance Co., Ltd., Sony Assurance Inc., and Sony Bank Inc. The results discussed in the Financial Services segment differ from the results that SFGI and SFGI’s consolidated subsidiaries disclose separately on a Japanese statutory basis. 29

Risks and uncertainties also include the impact of any future events with material adverse impact. The continued impact of developments relating to the situations in Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East could heighten many of the risks and uncertainties noted above. Important information regarding risks and uncertainties is also set forth in Sony’s most recent Form 20-F, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 30
