This presentation includes forward-looking statements (that include those within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) about Panasonic and its Group
companies (the Panasonic Group). To the extent that statements in this presentation do not relate to historical or current facts, they
constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current assumptions and beliefs of the
Panasonic Group in light of the information currently available to it, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Such risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the Panasonic Group's actual results, performance, achievements or financial
position to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements or financial position expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. Panasonic undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements after the date of this
presentation. Investors are advised to consult any further disclosures by Panasonic in its subsequent filings under the Financial Instrument
and Exchange Act of Japan (the FIEA) and other publicly disclosed documents.
The risks, uncertainties and other factors referred to above include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, particularly consumer
spending and corporate capital expenditures in the Americas, Europe, Japan, China and other Asian countries; volatility in demand for
electronic equipment and components from business and industrial customers, as well as consumers in many product and geographical
markets; the possibility that excessive currency rate fluctuations of the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan and other currencies
against the yen may adversely affect costs and prices of Panasonic’s products and services and certain other transactions that are
denominated in these foreign currencies; the possibility of the Panasonic Group incurring additional costs of raising funds, because of
changes in the fund raising environment; the possibility of the Panasonic Group not being able to respond to rapid technological changes
and changing consumer preferences with timely and cost-effective introductions of new products in markets that are highly competitive in
terms of both price and technology; the possibility of not achieving expected results or incurring unexpected losses in connection with the
alliances or mergers and acquisitions; the possibility of not being able to achieve its business objectives through joint ventures and other
collaborative agreements with other companies, including due to the pressure of price reduction exceeding that which can be achieved by
its effort and decrease in demand for products from business partners which Panasonic highly depends on in BtoB business areas; the
possibility of the Panasonic Group not being able to maintain competitive strength in many product and geographical areas; the possibility
of incurring expenses resulting from any defects in products or services of the Panasonic Group; the possibility that the Panasonic Group
may face intellectual property infringement claims by third parties; current and potential, direct and indirect restrictions imposed by other
countries over trade, manufacturing, labor and operations; fluctuations in market prices of securities and other financial assets in which the
Panasonic Group has holdings or changes in valuation of non-financial assets, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and
deferred tax assets; future changes or revisions to accounting policies or accounting rules; the possibility of incurring expenses resulting
from a leakage of customers’ or confidential information from Panasonic Group systems due to unauthorized access or a detection of
vulnerability of network-connected products of the Panasonic Group; as well as natural disasters including earthquakes, prevalence of
infectious diseases throughout the world, disruption of supply chain and other events that may negatively impact business activities of the
Panasonic Group. The factors listed above are not all-inclusive and further information is contained in the most recent English translated
version of Panasonic’s securities reports under the FIEA and any other documents which are disclosed on its website.
