(hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(hereinafter referred to as “IFRS”) pursuant to the provisions of Article 120, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance on Accounting ofCompanies. Pursuant to the provisions of the second sentence of the same paragraph of the same Ordinance, some disclosure
items required under IFRS are omitted.
(2) Scope of consolidation
Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 223 companies
Major consolidated subsidiaries: TS Network Co., Ltd., Japan Filter Technology, Ltd., JT International S.A., Gallaher Ltd., Torii
Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and TableMark Co., Ltd.
(3) Scope of equity method
Number of affiliates accounted for using the equity method: 14 companies
Major affiliates accounted for using the equity method: Megapolis Distribution B.V.
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
(4) Accounting policies
A. Basis and method of valuation for financial assets other than derivativesi) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified into financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, fair value through othercomprehensive income, and amortized cost. The Group determines the classification at initial recognition.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met.
Otherwise, they are classified as financial assets measured at fair value.
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
For financial assets measured at fair value, each equity instrument is designated as measured at fair value through profit orloss or as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for equity instruments held for trading
purposes that must be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such designations are applied consistently.
All financial assets are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the financial assets, except for thecase of being classified in the category of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
ii) Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial assets are measured based on the classification as follows:(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(b) Other financial assets
Financial assets other than those measured at amortized cost are measured at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value are recognized as profit or loss.
However, changes in the fair value of equity instruments designated as measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income are recognized as other comprehensive income and the amount in other comprehensive income istransferred to retained earnings when equity instruments are derecognized or the decline in its fair value compared to its
acquisition cost is significant. Dividends on the financial assets are recognized in profit or loss for the year.
iii) Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive benefits from them expire or are transferred, or whensubstantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are transferred.

- 12 -

iv) Impairment of financial assets
With respect to financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts for
expected credit losses. The expected credit losses are calculated based on historical loss experience or future recoverable
amounts.
An allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables is always recognized at an amount equal to the lifetime expectedcredit losses. In principle, with respect to financial assets except for trade receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts ismeasured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses. However, the allowance for doubtful accounts ismeasured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if a credit risk on the financial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition.
The Group assesses whether a credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly based on a change of the default risk
considering the past due information, financial difficulties of obligors or downgrades of the internal credit rating.
The Group assesses a whole or part of the financial asset which is deemed extremely difficult to be collected as a default andrecognizes it as a credit-impaired financial asset. If the Group reasonably determines that a whole or part of the financial
asset is uncollectible, the carrying amounts of the financial assets are written-off directly.
The expected credit losses on trade receivables which are not assessed as credit-impaired financial assets are measured
collectively by an asset group consisting of a number of homogeneous counterparties.
An allowance for doubtful accounts for financial assets is recognized in profit or loss. If an event which causes a reduction in
the allowance for doubtful accounts occurs, a reversal of an allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in profit or loss.
B. Basis and method of valuation for derivatives
The Group utilizes derivatives, including forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts, to hedge foreignexchange and interest rate risks. These derivatives are initially measured at fair value when the contract is entered into, and aresubsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized as profit or loss in the
consolidated statement of income. However, the gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of
cash flow hedges and hedges of net investment in foreign operations are recognized as other comprehensive income.
C. Basis and method of valuation for inventories
The cost of inventories includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the costs are determined by using the weightedaverage method. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less theestimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Leaf tobacco which is stored for more than 12 months before being used for production is included in current assets since it isheld within the normal operating cycle.
D. Depreciation methods for significant depreciable assetsi) Property, plant and equipment and investment property (excluding right-of-use assets)
Property, plant and equipment is measured by using the cost model and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation andaccumulated impairment losses.
The acquisition cost includes any costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and dismantlement, removal andrestoration costs, as well as borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Except for assets that are not subject to depreciation such as land, assets are depreciated using the straight-line method overtheir estimated useful lives.
Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.
Investment property is measured by using the cost model and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
The estimated useful lives of major asset items are as follows:• Buildings and structures : 38 to 50 years• Machinery and vehicles : 10 to 15 years
The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at each fiscal year end and if there are any changes made to
the estimated useful lives and depreciation method, such changes are applied prospectively as changes in estimate.

- 13 -

ii) Intangible assets (excluding right-of-use assets)
Intangible assets are measured by using the cost model and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost at the initial recognition, and the costs of intangible assets acquired
through business combinations are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Expenditures on internally generated
intangible assets are recognized as expense in the period when incurred, except for development expenses that satisfy thecapitalization criteria.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and aretested for impairment whenever there is any indication of impairment. The estimated useful lives and amortization method of
intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each fiscal year end, and the effect of any changes in estimate would
be accounted for on a prospective basis.
The estimated useful lives of major intangible assets with finite useful lives are as follows:• Trademarks : 10 to 20 years• Software : 5 years
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets that are not ready to use are not amortized, but they aretested for impairment individually or by cash-generating unit annually or whenever there is any indication of impairment.
iii) Right-of-use assets
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right tocontrol the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group elects not to recognize
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases within 12 months and leases of low-value assets.
If a contract is, or contains, a lease, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes rightof-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position at the commencement date. The Group
recognizes the lease payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
Right-of-use asset is measured by using the cost model and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
An acquisition cost of a right-of-use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs. The right-of-use asset is depreciated using
the straight-line method over its estimated useful life or lease term, whichever is shorter. The lease liability is initiallymeasured at the present value of the lease payment that is not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments areapportioned between the financial cost and the reduction in the lease liability based on the effective interest method. The
financial costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
E. Policy on accounting of significant provisions
The Group has present obligations (legal or constructive) resulting from past events and recognizes provisions when it isprobable that the obligations are required to be settled and the amount of the obligations can be estimated reliably.
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provisions is measured at the present value of theexpenditures expected to be required to settle the obligations. In calculating the present value, the Group uses the pretax
discount rate reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
In accordance with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,” the Group recognizes a provision for
restructuring when it has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that
it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main scheme to those affected by it.
Restructuring provisions include only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which meet both of thefollowing criteria:• necessarily entailed by the restructuring.
• not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.

F. Post-employment benefits
The Group sponsors defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans as employee retirement benefit plans.
The Company is obligated to bear pension expenses for a mutual assistance association incurred with respect to services in or
before June 1956 (prior to the enforcement of the Act on the Mutual Aid Association of Public Corporation Employees). Suchobligations are calculated and included in liabilities related to the retirement benefits.
For each plan, the Group calculates the present value of defined benefit obligations, related current service cost and past
service cost using the projected unit credit method. For a discount rate, a discount period is determined based on the period
until the expected date of benefit payment in each fiscal year, and the discount rate is determined by reference to market yields
for the period corresponding to the discount period at the end of the fiscal year on high quality corporate bonds or government
bonds. Liabilities or assets for defined benefit plans are calculated by the present value of the defined benefit obligation,
deducting the fair value of any plan assets (including adjustments for the asset ceiling for defined benefit plans and minimum
funding requirements, if necessary). Expected interest costs and interest income are recognized as financial costs.
Remeasurements of defined benefit plans are recognized in full as other comprehensive income in the period when they are
incurred and transferred to retained earnings immediately. Past service costs are recognized as profit or loss in the period whenincurred.
The cost for retirement benefits for defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense at the time of contribution.
G. Accounting for revenuei) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognized based on the following five-step approach.
Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Group mainly engages in the sale of tobacco products, prescription drugs, and processed foods. The Group evaluatesthat the performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the products upon delivery and recognizes
revenue upon delivery of the products. Revenue is measured at the consideration promised in a contract with a customer, lessdiscounts, rebates and taxes, including consumption tax.
The tobacco excise taxes and other transactions in which the Group is involved as an agency are excluded from revenue. The
amount after deducting the tobacco excise taxes and other transactions is presented as “Revenue” in the consolidated
statement of income.
ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method.
iii) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
H. Goodwill
Goodwill is stated at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is not amortized. It is allocated to cash-generating units that are identified according to types of businesses andtested for impairment annually or whenever there is any indication of impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill arerecognized in the consolidated statement of income and no subsequent reversal is made.

I. Method of foreign currency translation
Consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Japanese yen, which is the functional currency of theCompany. Each company in the Group specifies its own functional currency and measures transactions based on it.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates oftransactions or an approximation of the rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the fiscal year end date. Differences arising from thetranslation and settlement are recognized as profit or loss. However, exchange differences arising from the translation offinancial instruments designated as hedging instruments for net investment in foreign operations (foreign subsidiaries),
financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and cash flow hedges are recognized as othercomprehensive income.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Japanese yen at the rates of exchange prevailing at the fiscal
year end date, while income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Japanese yen at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the dates of transactions or an approximation to the rate. The resulting translation differences are recognized asother comprehensive income. However, the income and expenses of the Group’s subsidiaries in the hyperinflationary economy
are translated into Japanese yen at the rates of exchange prevailing at the fiscal year end date in accordance with thehyperinflationary accounting. Its details are stated in “M. Hyperinflationary Accounting Adjustments.” In cases where foreign
operations are disposed of, the cumulative amount of translation differences related to the foreign operations is recognized as
profit or loss in the period of disposition.
J. Method of significant hedge accounting
The Group utilizes derivatives, including forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts, to hedge foreignexchange and interest rate risks. These derivatives are initially measured at fair value when the contract is entered into, and aresubsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized as profit or loss in the
consolidated statement of income. However, the gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of
cash flow hedges and hedges of net investment in foreign operations are recognized as other comprehensive income.
At the inception of the hedge, the Group formally designates and documents the hedging relationship to which hedge
accounting is applied and the objectives and strategies of risk management for undertaking the hedge. The documentation
includes identification of the hedging instruments, the hedged items, the nature of the risks being hedged and how the hedging
relationship’s effectiveness is assessed. These hedges are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine whether the hedging
relationship is effective prospectively, even though it is expected that there is an economic relationship between the hedged
item and the hedging instrument, that the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that
economic relationship, and that the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of thehedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge
that quantity of the hedged item.
If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio due to changes in an
economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument but the risk management objective remains thesame, the Group will adjust the hedge ratio so that it meets the qualifying criteria again. The Group discontinues hedge
accounting for the portion that does not meet the requirement when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying
criteria even after adjusting the hedge ratio. The Group performs highly effective hedging, and therefore generally expects thatno significant ineffective portion should arise.
Hedges that meet the stringent requirements for hedge accounting are classified into the following categories and accounted
for in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments.”i) Fair value hedge
The gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized as profit or loss in the consolidated statement of income. However,changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognized as other comprehensive income if the hedging instrument
hedges an equity instrument designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income. Regarding the hedging gain orloss on the hedged item, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted and the change is recognized as profit or loss inthe consolidated statement of income. However, changes in fair value of an equity instruments which the Group elected topresent in other comprehensive income are recognized as other comprehensive income.

- 16 -

ii) Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of gains or losses on hedging instruments is recognized as other comprehensive income in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized immediately as profit or loss inthe consolidated statement of income.
The amounts of hedging instruments recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss when thetransactions of the hedged items affect profit or loss. In cases where hedged items result in the recognition of non-financial
assets or liabilities, the amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are accounted for as adjustments to the original
carrying amount of non-financial assets or liabilities.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative gain or loss that has been recognizedin equity as other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. If the hedged future cash flows are still expected tooccur, amounts that have been recognized in other comprehensive income are continued to be recognized in othercomprehensive income until the future cash flows occur.
iii) Hedge of net investment in foreign operations
Translation differences resulting from the hedge of net investment in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to a cash
flow hedge. The effective portion of gains or losses on hedging instruments is recognized as other comprehensive income,while the ineffective portion is recognized as profit or loss in the consolidated statement of income. At the time of thedisposal of the foreign operations, any related cumulative gain or loss that has been recognized in equity as othercomprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
K. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active financial markets at year end refers to quoted prices or dealer
quotations.
If there is no active market, the fair value of financial instruments is determined using appropriate valuation models.
L. The Company and certain subsidiaries apply for the consolidated taxation system and will transition from the consolidated
taxation system to the group tax sharing system at the beginning of the next fiscal year.
M. Hyperinflationary Accounting Adjustments
As required by IAS 29, ‟Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies,” the Group’s consolidated financial
statements include the operating results and financial condition of the Group’s subsidiaries in the hyperinflationary economy,
restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period.
The Group's subsidiaries in the hyperinflationary economy have restated their non-monetary items held at historical cost, suchas property, plant and equipment, by applying the conversion coefficient at the acquisition date. Monetary items and nonmonetary items held at current cost are not restated, as they are considered to be expressed in terms of the measuring unit
current at the end of the reporting period.
(5) Changes in accounting policies
The Group has adopted the following new accounting standards, amended standards and new interpretations from the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2022.

2. Notes to accounting estimates
The following are estimates that have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year based on
accounting estimates and that will have material impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the next fiscal year.
(1) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Investment Properties
A. Amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year.
Plant and Equipment¥775,957 million
Goodwill
Assets¥2,446,063 million¥246,442 million

Investment Properties¥9,495 million
B. Information that helps understanding of the content of accounting estimates
With regard to property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and investment properties, if there is any indicationthat the recoverable amount has declined below the carrying amount, the Group performs an impairment test.
Such indications include, but are not limited to significant changes with adverse effect on the results of past or projectedbusiness performance, significant changes in the use of acquired assets or in overall business strategy, and significant
deteriorations in industry or economic trends. With regard to goodwill, an impairment test is conducted at least once a year,
regardless of whether there are any indicators of impairment.
An impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying amount to the recoverable amount of the asset under assessment.
If the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount, impairment losses are recognized. The recoverable amount iscalculated based primarily on a discounted cash flow model. Certain assumptions must be made for the useful lives andfuture cash flows of the assets, the applicable discount rates as well as long-term growth rates. These assumptions are basedon the best estimates and judgments made by management. However, there is a possibility that these assumptions will beaffected by changes in uncertain future economic conditions, which may have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements in future periods.
(2) Post-employment Benefits
A. Amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year.
Retirement benefit assets
Retirement benefit liabilities¥57,792 million¥244,116 million

B. Information that helps understanding of the content of accounting estimates
The Group has various types of retirement benefit plans, including defined benefit plans. In addition, the mutual pension
benefits plan of the Company is one of the public pension systems under the jurisdiction of the government of Japan and theCompany is legally obligated to bear a part of the pension costs of the plan.
The present value of defined benefit obligations on each of these plans and the related service costs are calculated based on
actuarial assumptions. These actuarial assumptions make use of estimates and judgments on a number of variables, including
discount rates and inflation rate.
The Group obtains advice from external pension actuaries with respect to the appropriateness of their actuarial assumptions
including the aforementioned variables.
The actuarial assumptions are determined based on the best estimates and judgments made by management. However, there
is a possibility that these assumptions will be affected by changes in uncertain future economic conditions, or by the
publication or amendment of related laws, which may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements infuture periods.

- 18 -

(3) Provisions
A. Amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year.
Provisions¥53,100 million
B. Information that helps understanding of the content of accounting estimates
The Group recognizes various provisions, including provisions for asset retirement obligations and restructuring, in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
These provisions are recognized based on best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the obligations, taking into
account the pertinent risks and uncertainties which exist at the year-end for those obligations.
Expenditures required to settle the obligations are calculated by taking possible results into account comprehensively;
however, they may be affected by the occurrence of unexpected events or changes in conditions which may have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements in future periods.
(4) Income Taxes
A. Amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year.
Income tax payables¥37,470 million
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax liabilities¥91,430 million¥40,061 million

B. Information that helps understanding of the content of accounting estimates
The Group operates business activities around the world, and it recognizes current tax liabilities and income taxes as theestimated amounts to be paid to the tax authorities, based on the estimation in accordance with their laws and regulations.
Calculating current tax liabilities and income taxes requires estimates and judgment on various factors, including theinterpretation of tax regulations by taxable entities and the tax authority in the jurisdiction or the experience of past tax
audits.
Therefore, there may be differences between the amount recognized as tax liabilities and income taxes and the amount of
actual tax liabilities and income taxes. These differences may have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements in future periods.
In addition, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against
which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
In recognizing the deferred tax assets, when judging the possibility of the future taxable income, the Group reasonably
estimates the timing and amount of future taxable income based on the business plan.
The timing when taxable income arises and the amount of such income may be affected by changes in uncertain future
economic conditions. Therefore, this may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements in future periods.
(5) Contingencies
With regard to contingencies, any items that may have a material impact on business in the future are disclosed in light of all
the available evidence as of the year end and by taking into account the probability of these contingencies and their impact onfinancial reporting.
The content of contingencies is described in “9. Contingencies.”(6) Other information
In relation to the recent situation in Russia and Ukraine, there is no material impact on the accounting estimates and judgments
at present.

A. Tobacco Businesses
Tobacco businesses engage in the sale of tobacco products.
The Group evaluates that the performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the products
upon delivery and recognizes revenue upon delivery of the products. Revenue is measured at the consideration
promised in the contract with customers, less discounts, rebates and taxes, including consumption tax. In addition,
where the Group makes payments to the customer, except in the case when consideration payable to the customer isa payment for a distinct product or service from the customer, revenue is measured at the amount which isconsideration promised with the customer, less consideration payable to the customer.
Considerations for transactions are received mainly within one year from the satisfaction of the performanceobligations and includes no significant financing components.
The tobacco excise taxes and other transactions in which the Group is involved as an agency are excluded fromrevenue. The inflow of economic benefits after deducting the tobacco excise taxes and other transactions ispresented as “Revenue” in the consolidated statement of income.
B. Pharmaceutical BusinessPharmaceutical business mainly engages in the sale of prescription drugs and licensing.
The Group evaluates that the performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the products
upon delivery and recognizes revenue upon delivery of the products. Revenue is measured at the consideration
promised in the contract with customers, less discounts, rebates and taxes, including consumption tax. In addition,
where the Group makes payments to the customer, except the case when consideration payable to the customer is apayment for a distinct product or service from the customer, revenue is measured at the amount of consideration
promised with the customer, less consideration payable to the customer.
Revenue from licensing is generated by licensing out the rights to develop and market each compound to licensees
in the development stage, and the Group receives upfront income, milestone revenue and sales-based royalties.
Upfront income is recognized at the time the customer obtains control of the license. Milestone revenue isrecognized at the time the milestone agreed between the parties such as the progress of development is achieved.
Sales-based royalties are measured based on the Group’s licensees’ sales, and recognized by taking into
consideration the timing of occurrence.
Considerations for transactions are received mainly within one year from satisfying their performance obligations
and includes no significant financial component.
C. Processed Foods Business
Processed Foods business engages in the sale of frozen and ambient processed foods, bakery products andseasonings.
The Group evaluates that the performance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the products
upon delivery and recognizes revenue upon delivery of the products. Revenue is measured at the consideration
promised in a contract with a customer, less discounts, rebates and taxes, including consumption tax. In addition,
where the Group makes payments to the customer, except the case when consideration payable to the customer is apayment for a distinct product or service from the customer, revenue is measured at the amount of consideration
promised with the customer, less consideration payable to the customer.
Considerations for transactions are received mainly within one year from satisfying their performance obligations
and includes no significant financial component.
Transactions in which the Group is involved as an agency are excluded from revenue. The inflow of economic
benefits after deducting these transactions is presented as “Revenue” in the consolidated statement of income.
(2) Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
The Group uses the practical expedient and does not disclose information on the remaining performance obligations because it
has no significant transactions with initial expected contractual terms exceeding one year. There are no significant amounts ofconsiderations from contracts with customers that are not included in transaction prices.

6. Financial instruments(1) Status of financial instruments
The Group is exposed to financial risks (credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and market pricefluctuation risk) in the process of its management activities, and it manages risks based on a specific policy in order to avoid or
reduce said risks. The results of risk management are regularly reported by the department having jurisdiction over financial
operations to the president and the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Group policy limits derivatives to transactions for the purpose of mitigating risks from transactions based on actual demand.
Therefore, the Group does not transact derivatives for speculation purposes or trading purposes.
(2) The breakdown of financial instruments by fair value level
The fair value hierarchy of financial instruments is categorized from Level 1 to Level 3 as follows:
Level 1: Fair value measured at the quoted price in the active market
Level 2: Fair value that is calculated using the observable price other than categorized in Level 1 directly or indirectly
Level 3: Fair value that is calculated based on valuation techniques which include inputs that are not based on observable market

Notes to Nonconsolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant accounting policies(1) Basis and method of valuation for securities
Shares of subsidiaries and affiliates:
Stated at cost determined by the moving-average method.
Available-for-sale securities:
Securities with a market price:
Stated at fair value based on market prices on the closing date of the accounting period. (Valuation difference is stated as acomponent of net assets and the cost of securities sold is calculated by applying the moving-average method.)
Securities without a market price:
Stated at cost determined by the moving-average method.
(2) Basis and method of valuation for derivatives
Stated based on the fair value method.
(3) Basis and method of valuation for inventories
Stated at cost as determined by the average cost method.
(Balance sheet amounts are measured at the lower of cost or net selling value.)(4) Depreciation methods for depreciable assetsi) Property, plant and equipment (excluding leased assets)
The declining-balance method is applied. However, the straight-line method is applied for buildings (excluding accompanying
facilities) acquired on or after April 1, 1998 and for accompanying facilities and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016.
The main useful lives are as follows:
Buildings (excluding accompanying facilities):
Machinery and equipment:

38 to 50 years
10 yearsii) Intangible assets (excluding leased assets)
Straight-line method
The main useful lives are as follows:
Patent right:
Right of trademark:

8 years
10 years

Software:
Goodwill:

5 years
10 yearsiii) Leased assets
For finance leases that do not transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee, depreciation expense is mainly computedby the straight-line method over the lease period as the useful life assuming no residual value.

- 30 -

(5) Policy on accounting of provisionsi) Allowance for doubtful accounts
Provided for possible losses from bad debts at an amount determined based on the historical default rate for ordinary
receivables and the individual recoverability of specific doubtful receivables from customers experiencing financial difficulties.
ii) Provision for bonuses
Provided based on the estimated payable amount to provide for the payment of bonuses to employees and directors.
iii) Provision for retirement benefits
Provided in preparation for the payment of retirement benefits to employees based on the estimated retirement benefit
obligations and fair values of plan assets as of the end of this fiscal year. In calculating retirement benefit obligations, thebenefit formula basis is used as the method of attributing expected benefit to periods up to the end of this fiscal year.
Past service cost is amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining years of service of the employees (10years).
Actuarial gains and losses are amortized from the year following the year in which the gains or losses are recognized using thestraight-line method over the average remaining years of service of the employees (10 years).
Also included in the provision for retirement benefits is the portion of public pension expenses for mutual assistanceassociation during certain periods in or before June 1956 (prior to the enforcement of the Act on the Mutual Aid Association of
Public Corporation Employees).
(6) Policy on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency into Japanese yen
Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the rates prevailing at the closing
date of the accounting period with translation differences treated as gains or losses occurring in the corresponding fiscal year.
(7) Policy on accounting of revenue and expense
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognized based on the following five-step approach.
Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company mainly engages in the sale of tobacco products and prescription drugs. The Company evaluates that theperformance obligation is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the products upon delivery and recognizes revenue
upon delivery of the products. Revenue is measured at the consideration promised in a contract with a customer, less discounts,
rebates and taxes, including consumption tax.
The tobacco excise taxes are excluded from revenue. The amount after deducting the tobacco excise taxes and other transactions
is presented as "Net sales" in the nonconsolidated statement of income.
(8) Method of hedge accounting
Deferral hedge accounting is applied.
For interest rates and currency swaps, if they satisfy the requirements for treatment that incorporates swaps into underlying
accounting items (accounting by applying foreign exchange rate stipulated in the contracts; exceptional treatment), they areaccounted for by incorporating swaps into underlying accounting items.
(9) Adoption of consolidated taxation system
The Company applies for the consolidated taxation system.

- 31 -

(10) Application of tax effect accounting for the transition from the consolidated taxation system to the group tax sharing system
Concerning items which transitioned to the group tax sharing system and those for which the non-consolidated tax payment
system was reviewed in line with the transition to the group tax sharing system, which has been established under the “Act for
Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act and Relevant Acts.” (Act No. 8 of 2020), the Company will not apply the provisionsof Paragraph 44 of the “Implementation Guidance on Tax Effect Accounting” (Statement No.28 issued by the AccountingStandards Board of Japan (ASBJ) on February 16,2018), in accordance with Paragraph 3 of the “Practical Solution on theTreatment of the Tax Effect Accounting from the Consolidated Taxation System to the Group Tax Sharing System” (PITF No.39
of March 31, 2020). As a result, the amounts of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reported based on theprovisions of the tax act before the amendment.
From the beginning of the next fiscal year, the Company plans to apply the “Practical Solution on the Accounting and Disclosure
Under the Group Tax Sharing System” (ASBJ PITF No. 42, August 12, 2021), which provides the pronouncement on theaccounting treatment and disclosure of corporate and local income taxes and tax effect accounting in the case where the grouptax sharing system is adopted.
(11) Changes in accounting policies(Application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition)
The Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020; hereinafter, the “AccountingStandard for Revenue Recognition”), etc. has been applied from the current fiscal year. The Company recognizes revenue at theamount expected to be received in exchange for a promised good or service when control of the good or service is transferred toa customer.
Based on the five-step approach described in “(7) Policy on accounting of revenue and expense,” the Company has identified theperformance obligations under contracts with customers. Therefore, a portion of promotion and other expenses paid to customers
by the Company, which were previously recognized in “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” has been deducted from“Net sales” from the current fiscal year.
Also, transportation and storage expenses required to meet performance obligations, which were previously recognized in“Selling, general and administrative expenses,” have been accounted for as “Cost of sales” from the current fiscal year.
In some transactions, the Company has changed the point of recognition of revenue by reviewing the point at which control of agood is transferred to a customer.
The application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition is pursuant to the transitional treatment prescribed in theproviso to Paragraph 84 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition. The cumulative effect of retroactive applicationof the new accounting policy prior to the beginning of the current fiscal year has been added to or subtracted from retained
earnings at the beginning of the current fiscal year, and the new accounting policy has been applied from the said beginningbalance of the current fiscal year.
As a result, compared with the previous accounting standard, Net sales decreased by ¥7,493 million, Cost of sales increased by¥28,482 million, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by ¥35,717 million, and operating income, ordinary
income, and income before income taxes decreased by ¥258 million, respectively, in the current fiscal year.
The beginning balance of retained earnings increased by ¥1,117 million since the cumulative effect was reflected in net assets atthe beginning of the current fiscal year.
(Application of the Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement)
The Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement (ASBJ Statement No. 30, July 4, 2019; hereinafter, the “Fair Value
Measurement Accounting Standard”), etc. has been applied from the beginning of the current fiscal year. In accordance with thetransitional treatment set forth in Paragraph 19 of the Fair Value Measurement Accounting Standard for and Section 44-2 of the
Fair Value Measurement Accounting Standard, these accounting standards have been prospectively applied from the beginningof the current fiscal year.
There is no impact on the financial statements.

2. Notes to accounting estimates
The following are the estimates and assumptions that have material impacts on the amounts recognized in the nonconsolidated
financial statements.
In relation to the recent situation in Russia and Ukraine, there is no material impact on the accounting estimates and judgments atpresent.
Evaluation of shares of subsidiaries and affiliates(1) Amounts recorded in the nonconsolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year
Shares of subsidiaries and affiliates¥1,495,647 million(2) Information that helps understanding of the content of accounting estimates
Of the shares of subsidiaries and affiliates recorded in the balance sheet at the end of the current fiscal year, the shares of JT
International Group Holding B.V., a subsidiary, amounted to ¥1,356,191 million. Whether or not to recognize impairment of
the shares of that company is determined by comparing the carrying amount of those shares to the actual value calculated
based on net assets of that company. In addition, the Company determines whether the actual value of those shares has
declined significantly or not by referring to the result of the impairment test of goodwill allocated to the tobacco cashgenerating unit in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The assumptions used in the impairment test
are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. However, they may be affected by the results of changes in
uncertain future economic conditions, and if a review is necessary, it may have a significant impact on the amounts
recognized in the nonconsolidated financial statements in future periods.
