Unknown Analyst's questions to Hitachi Ltd (HTHIY) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
An unknown analyst asked for the company's view on Japan's seventh strategic energy plan and for an explanation of the change in foreign exchange sensitivity compared to the first quarter.
Answer
Executive Tomomi Kato expressed hope that the government's new energy plan would maintain a stable and consistent policy direction. He clarified that the foreign exchange sensitivity figure changed because the Q2 forecast applies to the remaining six months of the fiscal year, whereas the Q1 forecast applied to nine months, naturally reducing the absolute impact.
