Asahi Group Holdings flagged a material weakness in internal controls for FY2025 after a Sept. 29, 2025 ransomware attack disrupted Japan-region systems.
Disruption blocked timely retrieval and verification of accounting data, forcing an extension to the statutory filing deadline for its Annual Securities Report.
Unauthorized administrative access was traced to gaps in implementing information security rules, including insufficient access-rights management in parts of the infrastructure.
Remediation has begun, including tighter administrative privilege controls and monitoring by an Information Security Committee; full remediation was not completed by year-end.
Consolidated financial statements reflect all required corrections; the auditor issued an unqualified opinion.
