      The convertible bond issued on April 28, 2023 is not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of March 31, 2024, as it would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The convertible bond can potentially dilute earnings per share in the future; if the conversion right is exercised, the number of shares would increase by 6,174,761 based on the conversion price as of the balance sheet date (see Chapter 17. Equity).
