Question
Ayada san from JPMorgan Securities asked about the potential risk from a major North American customer reportedly planning to source chips from a competitor as part of its U.S. procurement efforts, and whether Sony's risk planning and capital expenditure strategies had accounted for such a scenario.
Answer
Naoya Horii, Senior Vice President, acknowledged the situation and stated that while Sony had partly considered such risks, the specific news report was very recent. He explained that the company first needs to verify the accuracy of the report and will debate the matter internally before commenting further, thus limiting his response at this time.
