Financial Statements with Independent Auditor’s Report6Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Year Ended March 31, 2023

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in
the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related accounting regulations, and in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to theapplication and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made to
the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar toreaders outside Japan. In addition, certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made in the 2022 consolidated
financial statements to conform them to the classifications and presentations used in 2023.
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which Yamato
Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is incorporated and operates. The translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S.
dollar amounts are included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan and have been made at the rate of¥133.53 to $1, the approximate rate of exchange at March 31, 2023. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.

an investment in an equity instrument, where a foreign subsidiary elects to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument.
c. Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Affiliated Companies for the Equity Method—ASBJ
Statement No. 16, “Accounting Standard for Equity Method of Accounting for Investments,” requires adjustments to bemade to conform the affiliate’s accounting policies for similar transactions and events under similar circumstances to thoseof the parent company when the affiliate’s financial statements are used in applying the equity method, unless it is impracticable to determine such adjustments. In addition, financial statements prepared by foreign affiliated companies in accordance with either International Financial Reporting Standards or generally accepted accounting principles in the UnitedStates of America tentatively may be used in applying the equity method if the following items are adjusted so that profit
is accounted for in accordance with Japanese GAAP, unless they are not material: (a) amortization of goodwill; (b) scheduled amortization of actuarial gain or loss of pensions that has been recorded in equity through other comprehensive
income; (c) expensing capitalized development costs of R&D; (d) cancellation of the fair value model accounting for property, plant and equipment and investment properties and incorporation of the cost model accounting; and (e) recording again or loss through profit or loss on the sale of an investment in an equity instrument for the difference between theacquisition cost and selling price, and recording impairment loss through profit or loss for other-than-temporary declines in

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESa. Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023, include the accounts of the Company andits 29 (30 in 2022) significant subsidiaries (together, the “Group”).
Effective from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, Yamato Web Solutions Co., Ltd. has been excluded from thescope of consolidation due to absorption-type mergers in which Yamato System Development Co., Ltd. is the surviving
company.
Under the control and influence concepts, those companies in which the Company, directly or indirectly, is able toexercise control over operations are fully consolidated, and those companies over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.
The unconsolidated subsidiaries, whose combined assets, net sales, profit and retained earnings in the aggregate are
not significant to the consolidated financial statements, have not been consolidated with the Company.
There were 24 (22 in 2022) affiliates accounted for by the equity method.
Effective from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, Sweetmag Solutions (M) Sdn. Bhd. and one other company havebeen included in the scope of equity method due to GDEX BHD., an affiliate accounted for using equity method, newly
acquiring their shares.
Investments in the unconsolidated subsidiaries and several affiliates not accounted for by equity method are stated atcost, less a valuation allowance representing possible losses on the investments that are deemed to be other than temporary. If the equity method of accounting had been applied to the investments in such companies, the effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements would not be material.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All material unrealized
profit included in assets resulting from transactions within the Group is also eliminated.
b. Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated Financial Statements—
Under Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Practical Issues Task Force (“PITF”) No. 18, “Practical Solution
on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated Financial Statements,” theaccounting policies and procedures applied to a parent company and its subsidiaries for similar transactions and events
under similar circumstances should in principle be unified for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
However, financial statements prepared by foreign subsidiaries in accordance with either International Financial Reporting

the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument, where a foreign affiliate elects to present in other comprehensive
income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument.
d. Revenue Recognition—Principal performance obligations in the principal businesses relating to revenues recognizedfrom contracts with customers in the Group and the normal timing of satisfaction of performance obligation (the normal
timing of recognizing revenues) are as follows:(1) Retail Business Unit
Retail Business Unit mainly provides small-parcel delivery services such as TA-Q-BIN. In this service, the Group provides aservice to collect and deliver cargoes at the customer’s request based on a contract with the customer, and revenue fromthis service is recognized in accordance with satisfaction of performance obligations measured by the progress of delivery,
because other companies are not required to perform the transportation process that has already been performed, even if
delivery to the designated delivery destination cannot be completed.
(2) Corporate Business Unit
In addition to the same transportation services as Retail Business Unit, Corporate Business Unit provides logistics support
services, such as cargo storage and logistics services for inbound and outbound shipments, in order to provide value tothe entire supply chain of its customers. The Group provides logistics support services, which include the collection, storage, packing, and delivery of cargo based on contracts with customers, and recognizes each contractually agreed-uponprocess as a performance obligation, and recognizes revenue for each process under contract in accordance with satisfaction of performance obligations measured by the progress of the work, as the customer receives the economic benefit of
the work as it progresses.
e. Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows are short-term investments that arereadily convertible into cash and that are exposed to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and mutual funds investing in bonds that
represent short-term investments, all of which mature or become due within three months of the date of acquisition.

enhance the connection between Officers’ remuneration and performance and share value of the Company, and raise theirmotivation to make contributions to increase the Company’s long-term performance and corporate value by sharing not
only the benefits of a rise in share prices but also the risk of a decline in share prices with shareholders.
The Plan is a performance-based share remuneration plan in which the trust acquires the Company’s shares using
money contributed by the Company as the source of funds, and Officers are provided with the Company’s shares andcash equivalent to the market value of the Company’s shares (“Shares of the Company”) through the trust in accordancewith “Regulation for Benefit of Shares to Officers” established by the Company. As a general rule, Officers shall be entitled to receive Shares of the Company at the time of retirement.

13.		EQUITY
Japanese companies are subject to the Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”). The significant provisions in the
Companies Act that affect financial and accounting matters are summarized below:

a. Dividends
Under the Companies Act, companies can pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution at the shareholders’ meeting. For companies that meet certain criteria such as (1) having a Board of
Directors, (2) having independent auditors, (3) having an Audit & Supervisory Board, and (4) the term of service of thedirectors being prescribed as one year rather than the normal two-year term by its articles of incorporation, the Board of
Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends-in-kind) at any time during the fiscal year if the company has prescribed so in its articles of incorporation. The Company meets all the above criteria.
The Companies Act permits companies to distribute dividends-in-kind (non-cash assets) to shareholders subject to acertain limitation and additional requirements.
Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon resolution by the Board of Directors if the articles ofincorporation of the company so stipulate. The Companies Act provides certain limitations on the amounts available fordividends or the purchase of treasury stock. The limitation is defined as the amount available for distribution to the shareholders, but the amount of net assets after dividends must be maintained at no less than ¥3 million.

gate, resulted in a normal effective statutory tax rate of 30.6% for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

b. Increases/Decreases and Transfer of Common Stock, Reserve and Surplus
The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be appropriated as a legal reserve (a component of retained earnings) or as additional paid-in capital (a component of capital surplus) depending on the equity accountcharged upon the payment of such dividends until the aggregate amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in capitalequals 25% of the common stock. Under the Companies Act, the total amount of additional paid-in capital and legal
reserve may be reversed without limitation. The Companies Act also provides that common stock, legal reserve, additional
paid-in capital, other capital surplus, and retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts within equity undercertain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders.
c. Treasury Stock
The Companies Act also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock and dispose of such treasury stock by resolution of the Board of Directors. The amount of treasury stock purchased cannot exceed the amount available for distribution
to the shareholders, which is determined by a specific formula. The Companies Act also provides that companies canpurchase both treasury stock acquisition rights and treasury stock. Such treasury stock acquisition rights are presented asa separate component of equity.

16.		 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED DISCLOSURES(1) Group Policy for Financial Instruments
The Group uses financial instruments, mainly long-term debt including bank loans and bonds, in order to expand its business based on its investment plan to expand its network. Cash surpluses, if any, are invested in low risk financial assets.
Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes but to manage exposure to interest fluctuation risk. Certain consolidated
subsidiaries conduct installment sales operations.
(2)	Nature and Extent of Risks Arising from Financial Instruments and the Risk Management for Financial
Instruments
Receivables such as notes and accounts receivable and installment sales receivable are exposed to customer credit risk.
Therefore, the Group minimizes customers’ credit risk by monitoring collections and accrued receivables at due dates.
Investment securities are mainly equity securities of the companies with which the Group has business relationships
or capital alliances. Such securities are exposed to the risk of market price fluctuations.
Most payment terms of payables such as notes and accounts payable are less than one year.

The fair value of financial instruments is classified into the following three levels based on the observability and materialityof the inputs used to calculate fair value.
Level 1 fair value: Fair value calculated by the market price of the asset or liability formed in the active market amongobservable inputs
Level 2 fair value: Fair value calculated by observable inputs excluding inputs of Level 1
Level 3 fair value: Fair value calculated by unobservable inputs
When multiple inputs that have a significant influence on the fair value calculation are used, the fair value is classified
into the lowest priority level in the fair value calculation among the levels to which those inputs belong.

as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment. In addition, we obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain, when performing risk assessment procedures, an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to
the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate whether the overall presentation and disclosures of the consolidated financial statements arein accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, as well as the overall
presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities orbusiness activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remainsolely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with Audit & Supervisory Board members and the Audit & Supervisory Board
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide Audit & Supervisory Board members and the Audit & Supervisory Board with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, andcommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with Audit & Supervisory Board members and the Audit & Supervisory
Board, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe thesematters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.
