Financial Risk Management | 45 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The SMBC Group classifies risks into the following categories: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. This note presents information about the SMBC Group’s exposure to credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk, and its policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. On April 1, 2017, the SMBC Group introduced SMBC Group-wide business units and a Group Chief Officers system (“CxO system”). In addition, the SMBC Group transitioned to a company with three statutory committees: a nominating committee, an audit committee and a compensation committee from a board of corporate auditors governance system, following approval at its ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 29, 2017. In connection with the foregoing, the SMBC Group changed its risk management system, including by introducing a Group Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) who reports to the board of directors and its internal committees and conducting various meetings for business executions to centrally identify and manage risks. Risk Management System Top management plays an active role in the risk management process out of recognition for the importance of risk management. The SMBC Group-wide basic policies for risk management are determined by the Management Committee before being authorized by the board of directors. In line with these basic policies for risk management, the functions for managing major risks are consolidated within the Risk Management Unit, which is independent from business units, and the SMBC Group seeks to refine its risk management system through such means as enhancing comprehensive reviews of each risk category. In addition, the Internal Audit Unit conducts internal audits on the status of risk management to verify that risk is appropriately managed. Risk management systems are in place at individual SMBC Group companies that have been established based on the characteristics of their particular businesses and in accordance with the basic policies. Furthermore, the SMBC Group is sharing information on SMBC Group-wide risk management and strengthening related systems through the Group CRO Committee, which consists of the Group CRO and risk management representatives from strategically important SMBC Group companies. The diagram below represents the risk management system of the SMBC Group. Risk Capital Management In managing credit risk, market risk, and operational risk affecting the entire SMBC Group, the SMBC Group applies a uniform standard, risk capital based on value at risk (“VaR”), for use in monitoring and managing risks. This standard is applied while taking into account the characteristics of each risk and of the businesses of SMBC Group companies. Specific risk capital measures include setting upper limits for risk exposure based on SMBC Group-wide and business unit risk appetite and SMBC Group-wide management constitution. Each business unit operates business operation within that limit. Through these precautions, the SMBC Group practices management that maintains an appropriate balance between risks and returns based on a comprehensive perspective and secures sufficient financial soundness. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of incurring losses from decline or loss of the value of an asset (including off-balance off-balance Credit risk management system Credit risk is the most significant risk to which the SMBC Group is exposed. The purpose of credit risk management is to keep the credit risk exposure to a permissible level relative to capital, to maintain the quality of assets and to ensure returns commensurate with risk. At the SMBC Group, the Group CRO formulates credit risk management policies each year on the basis of Group-wide basic policies for risk management. The Credit & Investment Planning Department, responsible for the comprehensive management of credit risk, drafts and administers credit risk regulations including the Group credit policies, manages non-performing The following chart shows the credit risk management system of SMBC, the SMBC Group’s significant banking subsidiary. At SMBC, the Credit & Investment Planning Department within the Risk Management Unit is responsible for the comprehensive management of credit risk. This department drafts and administers credit policies, the internal rating system, credit authority guidelines, and credit application guidelines, and manages NPLs, including impaired loans, and other aspects of credit portfolio management. The department also cooperates with the Corporate Risk Management Department in quantifying credit risk (risk capital and risk-weighted assets) and controls SMBC’s entire credit risk. Further, the Credit Portfolio Management Department within the Credit & Investment Planning Department strives to stabilize the credit portfolio and manage the risk through credit derivatives, loan asset sales and other instruments. The credit departments of SMBC within each business unit conduct credit risk management for loans handled by its unit and manage portfolios of its unit. The credit limits they use are based on the baseline amounts that the Credit & Investment Planning Department establishes for each grading category, with particular attention paid to evaluating and managing customers or loans perceived to have particularly high credit risk. The Corporate Research Department engages in research on industries and analyzes the business and financial conditions of borrower enterprises to detect early signs of problems or growth potential. The Credit Administration Department is responsible for handling NPLs of borrowers classified as potentially bankrupt or lower, and formulates plans for workouts, including write-offs, and corporate rehabilitation. The department closely liaises with SMBC Servicer Co., Ltd., an SMBC Group company, which engages in related services to efficiently reduce the amount of NPLs, including through the sale of loans. The Internal Audit Unit of SMBC, operating independently of the business units, audits asset quality, accuracy of grading and state of credit risk management, and reports the results directly to the board of directors and the Management Committee. SMBC has established the Credit Risk Committee to undertake control of credit risk and to ensure the overall soundness of the loan operations. Credit risk management methods To effectively manage the risk involved in individual loans as well as the credit portfolio as a whole, the SMBC Group first acknowledges that every loan entails credit risk, assesses the credit risk posed by each borrower and loan using an internal rating system, and quantifies that risk for control purposes. Credit risk evaluation At SMBC, the Credit & Investment Planning Department manages an internal rating system for each asset control category set according to portfolio characteristics. For example, credits to commercial and industrial (“C&I”) companies, individuals for business purposes (domestic only), sovereigns, public sector entities, and financial institutions are assigned an “obligor grade,” which indicates the borrower’s creditworthiness, and/or “facility grade,” which indicates the collectability of assets taking into account the transaction conditions such as guarantee/collateral, and tenor. The business units determine an obligor grade by first assigning a financial grade using a financial strength grading model and data obtained from the obligor’s financial statements, including net worth and cash flows. The financial grade is then adjusted taking into account the actual state of the obligor’s financial position and qualitative factors to derive the obligor grade. The qualitative factors mainly include the expected future cash flows taking into account factors such as historical loss information, the appropriateness of the borrower’s business plan or operational improvement plan, the status of progress of its plan, and the overall support from financial institutions. In the event that the borrower is domiciled overseas, internal ratings for credit are made after taking into consideration the country rank, which represents an assessment of the credit quality of each country based on its political and economic situation, as well as its current account balance and external debt. Obligor grades and facility grades are reviewed once a year and as otherwise necessary, such as when there are changes in the credit situation. The SMBC Group’s subsidiaries carry out credit risk evaluations in line with SMBC. The table below shows the corporate obligor grading system of SMBC. Obligor Grade Definition Borrower Category Domestic (C&I), etc. Overseas (C&I), etc. J1 G1 Very high certainty of debt repayment Normal J2 G2 High certainty of debt repayment J3 G3 Satisfactory certainty of debt repayment J4 G4 Debt repayment is likely, but this could change in cases of significant changes in economic trends or business environment J5 G5 No problem with debt repayment over the short term, but not satisfactory over the mid to long term, and the situation could change in cases of significant changes in economic trends or business environment J6 G6 Currently no problem with debt repayment, but there are unstable business and financial factors that could lead to debt repayment problems J7 G7 Close monitoring is required due to problems in meeting loan terms and conditions, sluggish/unstable business, or financial problems Borrowers J7R G7R Obligors with loans that are more than three months past due or with restructured loans within the “Borrowers Requiring Caution” category Substandard J8 G8 Currently not bankrupt, but experiencing business difficulties, making insufficient progress in restructuring and highly likely to go bankrupt Potentially J9 G9 Though not yet legally or formally bankrupt, has serious business difficulties and rehabilitation is unlikely; thus, effectively bankrupt Effectively J10 G10 Legally or formally bankrupt Bankrupt There are also grading systems for loans to individuals such as housing loans and structured finance including project finance, where the repayment source is limited to the cash flows generated by a particular business or asset. For example, the obligor grade of housing loans is determined taking into account various relevant factors such as proportion of the repayment to revenue, proportion of down payment to the value and past due information. The Credit & Investment Planning Department of SMBC centrally manages the internal rating systems, and designs, operates, supervises and validates the grading models. It validates the grading models (including statistical validation) of main assets following the procedure manual once a year to ensure their effectiveness and suitability. Quantification of credit risk At SMBC, credit risk quantification refers to the process of estimating the degree of credit risk of a portfolio or individual loan taking into account not just the obligor’s probability of default (“PD”), but also the concentration of risk in a specific customer or industry and the loss impact of fluctuations in the value of collateral, such as real estate and securities. Specifically, the PD by grade, loss given default (“LGD”), credit quality correlation among obligors, and other parameter values are estimated using the historical data of obligors and facilities stored in a database to calculate the credit risk. Then, based on these parameters, SMBC runs a simulation of simultaneous default using the Monte Carlo Simulation to calculate SMBC’s maximum loss exposure to the estimated amount of the maximum losses that may be incurred. Based on these quantitative results, SMBC allocates risk capital. Risk quantification is also executed for purposes such as to determine the portfolio’s risk concentration or to simulate economic movements (stress tests), and the results are used for making optimal decisions across the whole range of business operations, including formulating business plans and providing a standard against which individual credit applications are assessed. Credit assessment At SMBC, the credit assessment of corporate loans involves a variety of financial analyses, including cash flows, to predict an enterprise’s capability of loan repayment and its growth prospects. These quantitative measures, when combined with qualitative analyses of industrial trends, the enterprise’s research and development capabilities, the competitiveness of its products or services, and its management caliber, result in a comprehensive credit assessment. The loan application is analyzed in terms of the intended utilization of the funds and the repayment schedule. In the assessment of housing loans for individuals, SMBC employs a credit assessment model based on credit data amassed and analyzed by SMBC over many years, taking into account various relevant factors including proportion of the repayment to revenue, proportion of down payment to the value and past due information. Credit monitoring At SMBC, in addition to analyzing loans at the application stage, the Credit Monitoring System is utilized to reassess obligor grades, and review credit policies for each obligor so that problems can be detected at an early stage, and quick and effective action can be taken. The system includes annual monitoring that is carried out each time the financial results of the obligor enterprise are obtained, as well as ad-hoc Credit portfolio management Risk-taking within the scope of capital To keep the credit risk exposure to a permissible level relative to capital, the Corporate Risk Management Department of the Company sets a credit risk capital limit for internal control purposes. Under this limit, sub-limits Controlling concentration risk As the SMBC Group’s equity capital may be materially impaired in the event that the credit concentration risk becomes apparent, the Credit & Investment Planning Department of the Company therefore takes measures to manage concentration risks, such as introducing large exposure limits and conducting intensive loan reviews for obligors with large exposures, with an increased focus on industrial sectors with an excessive concentration of credit risk. Further, to manage country risk, SMBC’s Credit Department of the International Banking Unit has credit limit guidelines based on each country’s creditworthiness. Toward active portfolio management SMBC’s Credit Portfolio Management Department makes use of credit derivatives, loan asset sales, and other instruments to proactively and flexibly manage its portfolio to stabilize credit risk. Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements The following table shows the maximum exposure to credit risk before taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements at March 31, 2018 and 2017. At March 31, 2018 2017 (In millions) Credit risk exposures relating to assets on the consolidated statement of financial position: Deposits with banks ¥ 53,992,931 ¥ 46,207,027 Call loans and bills bought 1,881,880 1,872,209 Reverse repurchase agreements and cash collateral on securities borrowed 8,491,703 8,924,385 Trading assets 2,841,148 3,339,928 Derivative financial instruments 3,885,271 4,063,982 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 1,528,921 1,582,957 Investment securities: Held-to-maturity 372,459 1,173,419 Available-for-sale 14,282,706 12,123,770 Loans and advances 85,129,070 95,273,845 Other financial assets 3,598,642 3,424,591 Financial assets included in assets held for sale 3,099,888 — Credit risk exposures relating to off-balance (1) Loan commitments 60,107,128 62,357,210 Financial guarantees and other credit-related contingent liabilities 8,426,245 7,924,711 Total ¥ 247,637,992 ¥ 248,268,034 (1) The off-balance Based on the table above, excluding loan commitments (refer to Note 41 “Contingency and Capital Commitments”), the majority of the total exposure to credit risk is derived from “Loans and advances” and “Available-for-sale Collateral and other credit enhancements The SMBC Group considers the acquisition of collateral and guarantees as a secondary repayment source to further enhance loan recovery and minimize credit risk. Based on the assessment of a borrower’s real financial condition and potential future cash flows, the SMBC Group shall analyze the borrower’s repayment ability and require sufficient collateral in the form of an asset or third-party obligation. This serves to mitigate the inherent credit risk in the exposure, by either improving recoveries in the event of a default or transferring the borrower’s obligation to guarantors. Collateral received is mainly segregated into (1) financial collateral such as cash, deposits and securities, (2) real estate collateral such as land and buildings, and (3) guarantees received from sovereigns, municipal corporations, credit guarantee corporations and other public entities, financial institutions, and other companies. The SMBC Group’s credit risk management is mainly based on an analysis of the repayment ability from the cash flows of the borrower’s business performance, and the collateral and other credit enhancements are considered as secondary repayment sources in the SMBC Group’s business practice. At the time of the primary lending decision, the SMBC Group evaluates the collateral on an individual borrower basis to consider its financial effect for mitigating credit risk. The re-evaluation The following table shows the financial effect of collateral and other credit enhancements on loans and advances for borrowers requiring caution and impaired loans and advances at March 31, 2018 and 2017. The maximum collateral amounts included in the disclosure are limited to the carrying value of loans and advances where the credit exposure is over-collateralized.

Loans and advances neither past due nor impaired The following tables show the credit quality of the portfolio of loans and advances that were neither past due nor impaired, by geography and by industry based on the corporate obligor grading system of SMBC at March 31, 2018 and 2017. Since the internal rating system of SMBC’s consumer portfolio differs from the corporate obligor grading system, the balances of loans and advances to consumers are included in the grade category of “Other.” Additionally, as the SMBC Group’s subsidiaries are adopting various internal rating systems which differ from SMBC, the grade category of “Other” also includes some balances of loans and advances held by those subsidiaries.

Loans and advances past due but not impaired The SMBC Group assesses the credit quality of loans and advances taking into account past due information on a borrower basis, and does not comprehensively collate the data related to the age analysis of loans and advances that were past due but not impaired on an individual basis. The aggregate balances of loans and advances of borrowers with one or more facilities, where any of the facilities are past due for less than three months but not impaired as at March 31, 2018 and 2017 were ¥163,902 million and ¥167,159 million, respectively. Those aggregate balances therefore include individual loans and advances which are not past due. Thus, in the tables below, the SMBC Group provides the amount of loans and advances where the final payment at contractual maturity is past due, by geography and by industry, at March 31, 2018 and 2017. For reference, since all the loans and advances that are past due over three months are treated as impaired, those loans and advances are not included in the tables below.

These loans and advances are mainly classified as requiring caution in the table of “Loans and advances neither past due nor impaired” in the section “Loans and advances by credit quality category.” The SMBC Group continually assesses the creditworthiness of a borrower for whom terms of the loans and advances have been renegotiated, taking into account the actual state of the borrower’s financial position and qualitative factors. Further details are described in “Credit risk evaluation” in the section “Credit risk management methods.” Loans and advances whose terms have been renegotiated and financial concessions have been provided are reported as impaired and included in the table of “Impaired loans and advances” in the section “Loans and advances by credit quality category.” At March 31, 2018 2017 (In millions) Renegotiated loans and advances ¥292,466 ¥463,092 Trading assets and investment securities The following table shows an analysis of trading assets, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity available-for-sale At March 31, 2018 Trading assets Financial assets at Held-to-maturity Available-for-sale Total (In millions) AAA ¥ 190,650 ¥ — ¥ — ¥ 4,865,723 ¥ 5,056,373 AA- 2,399,644 1,518,748 372,459 8,538,879 12,829,730 A- 192,943 — — 276,042 468,985 Lower than A- 56,458 — — 532,626 589,084 Unrated 1,453 10,173 — 69,436 81,062 Total ¥ 2,841,148 ¥ 1,528,921 ¥ 372,459 ¥ 14,282,706 ¥ 19,025,234 Impaired available-for-sale At March 31, 2017 Trading assets Financial assets at Held-to-maturity Available-for-sale Total (In millions) AAA ¥ 242,240 ¥ — ¥ — ¥ 4,666,664 ¥ 4,908,904 AA- 2,803,467 1,570,904 1,173,419 6,822,953 12,370,743 A- 236,348 — — 132,943 369,291 Lower than A- 39,380 — — 482,097 521,477 Unrated 18,493 12,053 — 19,113 49,659 Total ¥ 3,339,928 ¥ 1,582,957 ¥ 1,173,419 ¥ 12,123,770 ¥ 18,220,074 Impaired available-for-sale Credit risk from derivative financial instruments The SMBC Group maintains control limits on derivative positions, by both amount and term. At any one time, the amount subject to credit risk is limited to the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are favorable to the SMBC Group (i.e., assets where their fair value is positive). The SMBC Group’s credit risk from derivatives is mitigated where possible through netting agreements whereby derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty can be offset. Netting agreements, such as the ISDA master agreement, allow the netting of obligations arising under all of the derivative transactions that the agreement covers upon the counterparty’s default, regardless of maturity and currency, re |
