Shinichiro Nakamura >>

FY3/26 full-year results: Consolidated PPOP was ¥2,377.3bn (YoY +49% / 106% of Research Analyst

guidance), and consolidated NP was ¥2,427.2bn (YoY +30% / 116% of guidance). Despite BofAS Japan +81 3 6225 8824

recording ¥100bn of bond loss-cutting and ¥200bn of one-off losses from revisions to shinichiro.nakamura@bofa.com

JPY interest-rate hedge operations in 4Q, consolidated NP exceeded our forecast by Yuji Kobayashi >>

11%, driven by strong NII/fee income and equity-method investment gains (also Research Analyst BofAS Japan

contributing to a lower effective tax rate). DPS exceeded guidance by ¥12. Unrealized +81 3 6225 8791

bond gains/losses at end-March (post-hedge) were limited at around -¥100bn combined yuji.kobayashi@bofa.com

for JGBs and foreign bonds. Taisei Okui >> Research Analyst

BofAS Japan

FY3/27 guidance: The company targets consolidated PPOP of ¥2,900.0bn (YoY +22%) +81 3 6225 8947

and NP of ¥2,700.0bn (YoY +11%). While the initial guidance appears realistic, taisei.okui@bofa.com

incorporating one BoJ rate hike (July 2026) and credit costs, NP is 10% above the IFIS

consensus of ¥2,446.0bn, leaving a slightly positive impression (assumptions for a Nikkei

average in the mid-¥50,000 range and equity-related gains appear somewhat Stock Data

conservative).
