I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of our Lexus customers around the world. Despite the continuing impact of the spread of the COVID-19 and the tight parts supply chain, we were able to recover sales to a record level in 2021, selling approximately 760,000 units. In 2022, we will continue to refine Lexus' unique design and driving taste that appeals to the sensibilities of our customers, based on our thoughts to "be the brand that people who know the real thing choose at the end of the day". We will also accelerate the development of electric vehicles starting with the BEV exclusive model "RZ" in spring, we will release a series of new models that will accompany the lifestyles of a variety of customers. Please look forward to the future of Lexus.
