In accordance with the transitional treatment set forth in Paragraph 27-2 of Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement, the Company has prospectively adopted the new accounting policy set forth in Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement.

II. Operating and financial review

1. Consolidated operating results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (fiscal 2022)

(1) Operating results

In fiscal 2022, net business profit increased by ¥ 123.6 billion year-on-year to ¥ 1,276.4 billion. The primary reasons were the depreciation of yen, and an increase in interest income from loans for both domestic and international corporate customers and an increase in fees and commissions due to good results of ancillary businesses, etc.

Total credit cost decreased by ¥ 64.2 billion year-on-year to ¥ 210.2 billion because of the reaction to the reserves recorded for large obligors in the previous consolidated fiscal year.

As a result, ordinary profit increased by ¥ 120.3 billion year-on-year to ¥ 1,160.9 billion, and profit attributable to owners of parent increased by ¥ 99.2 billion year-on-year to ¥ 805.8 billion.

(1)	Assets and liabilities
	Total assets as of March 31, 2023 were ¥ 270,428.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of ¥ 12,723.9 billion.

(3)	Cash flows
	The Company used ¥ 5,895.2 billion in cash flows from operating activities including interest received and paid, net changes in loans and bills discounted and deposits, a year-on-year decrease of ¥ 7,440.6 billion, generated ¥ 5,931.1 billion in cash flows from investing activities including purchases and sale of securities and tangible fixed assets, a year-on-year increase of ¥ 8,337.9 billion, and used ¥ 357.8 billion in cash flows from financing activities including payment of dividends, a year-on-year increase of ¥ 127.6 billion.

III. Basic approach to the selection of accounting standards

The Company selects Japanese GAAP as our accounting standards.

Since American depository receipts (ADRs) of the Company are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company separately prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the Company is considering the possibility of application of IFRS in the future.
