【FY23 December Earnings FAQ】Regarding the lifespan of mobile batteries, given that the cumulative number of rentals has reached 30 million, isn’t it expected that they might be deteriorating? How might the handling of deteriorated batteries impact performance?

As a premise, our batteries are designed to withstand 650 charge and discharge cycles.

Moreover, under the current average rate, costs are recovered within about 7-8 uses. Any rentals beyond the 7-8th time generate profit.

While there are batteries that do break, we are continually retrieving and redeploying them, so we do not anticipate a large-scale replacement at any particular time.
