UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED JAPANESE GAAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

On November 29, 2023, we published our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2023 prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, or Japanese GAAP, as part of our quarterly securities report (shihanki hokokusho) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 filed by us with the relevant Japanese authorities. This document is an English translation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in such quarterly securities report. Japanese GAAP differs in certain respects from International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IFRS, and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For a description of certain differences between IFRS and Japanese GAAP, see “Item 5.A Operating Results—Reconciliation with Japanese GAAP” in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Basis of presentation)

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was established on December 2, 2002 as a holding company for the SMBC Group (“the Group”) through a statutory share transfer (kabushiki iten) of all of the outstanding equity securities of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) in exchange for the Company’s newly issued securities. The Company is a joint stock corporation with limited liability (Kabushiki Kaisha) incorporated under the Companies Act of Japan. Upon formation of the Company and completion of the statutory share transfer, SMBC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The accounts of overseas subsidiaries and affiliated companies are, in principle, integrated with those of the Company’s accounting policies for purposes of consolidation unless they apply different accounting principles and standards as required under U.S. GAAP or IFRS, in which case a certain limited number of items are adjusted based on their materiality.

These interim consolidated financial statements are translated from the interim consolidated financial statements contained in the interim securities report filed under the Financial Instrument and Exchange Act of Japan (“FIEA based financial statements”) except for the addition of the non-consolidated financial statements and U.S. dollar figures.

Amounts less than ¥1 million have been rounded down. As a result, the totals in Japanese yen shown in the financial statements do not necessarily agree with the sum of the individual amounts.

The translation of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars is included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate at September 30, 2023 which was ¥149.58 to US$1. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at that rate.

4.  Accounting policies

 

(1)

Standards for recognition and measurement of trading assets/liabilities and trading income/losses

Transactions for trading purposes (seeking gains arising from short-term changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or market prices of securities and other market related indices or from variation among markets) are included in “Trading assets” or “Trading liabilities” on the interim consolidated balance sheets on a trade date basis. Profits and losses on trading-purpose transactions are recognized on a trade date basis, and recorded as “Trading income” and “Trading losses” on the interim consolidated statement of income.

Securities and monetary claims purchased for trading purposes are stated at the interim period-end market value, and financial derivatives such as swaps, futures and options are stated at amounts that would be settled if the transactions were terminated at the interim consolidated balance sheet date.

“Trading income” and “Trading losses” include interest received or paid during the interim period. The valuation differences of securities and monetary claims between the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and the six months ended September 30, 2023 are also recorded in the above-mentioned accounts. As for the derivatives, assuming that the settlement will be made in cash, the valuation differences between the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and the six months ended September 30, 2023 are also recorded in the above-mentioned accounts.

In terms of the evaluation of specific market risks and credit risks for derivative transactions, those fair values are calculated by group basis of the financial assets and liabilities based on net asset or liability after offsetting.

 

(2)

Standards for recognition and measurement of securities

 

  1)

Debt securities that consolidated subsidiaries have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and are carried at amortized cost (based on straight-line method) using the moving-average method. Investments in affiliates that are not accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost using the moving-average method. Securities other than trading purpose securities, held-to-maturity securities and investments in affiliates are classified as “other securities” (available-for-sale securities). Other securities are carried at their interim period-end market prices (cost of securities sold is calculated using primarily the moving-average method). Stocks with no market prices are carried at cost using the moving-average method.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on other securities, net of income taxes, are included in “Net assets” except for the amount reflected on the gains or losses by applying fair value hedge accounting.

 

  2)

Securities included in money held in trust are carried in the same method as in (1) and (2) 1) above.

 

(3)

Standards for recognition and measurement of derivative transactions

Derivative transactions, excluding those classified as trading derivatives, are carried at fair value.

In terms of the evaluation of specific market risks and credit risks for derivative transactions, those fair values are calculated by group basis of the financial assets and liabilities based on net asset or liability after offsetting.

(4)

Depreciation

 

  1)

Tangible fixed assets (excluding assets for rent and lease assets)

Buildings owned by the Company and SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, are depreciated primarily using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of major items are as follows:

 

  

 

Buildings:

 

7 to 50 years

 

Others:

 

2 to 20 years

Other consolidated subsidiaries depreciate tangible fixed assets primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

 

  2)

Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. Capitalized software for internal use owned by the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries is depreciated over its estimated useful life (5-10 years).

 

  3)

Assets for rent

Assets for rent are depreciated using the straight-line method, assuming that lease terms are, in principle, their depreciation period and the salvage values are estimated disposal values when the lease period expires.

 

  4)

Lease assets

Lease assets with respect to non-transfer ownership finance leases, which are recorded in “Tangible fixed assets,” are depreciated using the straight-line method, assuming that lease terms are their expected lifetime and salvage values are zero.

 

(5)

Reserve for possible loan losses

The reserve for possible loan losses of major consolidated subsidiaries is provided as detailed below in accordance with the internal standards for write-offs and provisions.

For claims on borrowers that have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation proceedings or similar legal proceedings (“Bankrupt borrowers”) or borrowers that are not legally or formally insolvent but are regarded as substantially in the same situation (“Effectively bankrupt borrowers”), a reserve is provided based on the amount of claims, after the write-off stated below, net of the expected amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees. For claims on borrowers that are not currently bankrupt but are perceived to have a high risk of falling into bankruptcy (“Potentially bankrupt borrowers”), a reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on an overall solvency assessment of the claims, net of the expected amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees.

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) method for claims of large borrowers exceeding a certain amount, of which borrowers categories are bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers and whole or part of loans are classified as “Past due loans (3 months or more)” or “Restructured loans” requiring close monitoring, and whose cash flows from collection of principals and interest can be rationally estimated. SMBC establishes a reserve for possible loan losses using the DCF method for such claims in the amount of the difference between the present value of principal and interest (calculated using the rationally estimated cash flows discounted at the initial contractual interest rate) and the book value.

For other claims, they are recorded by estimating the amount of expected loss in the next one year or three years. The estimated amount of expected loss is calculated by using average ratio of loan-loss ratio or probability of bankruptcies for certain periods in the past based on actual loan losses or bankruptcies in the past one year or three years, and by making necessary adjustments including future estimations.

Table of Contents

In addition, in light of the latest economic situation and risk factors, for potential losses for specific portfolios that are based on the future prospects with high probability, but cannot be reflected in actual loan losses in the past and in any individual borrower’s classification, a reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment.

For claims originated in specific overseas countries, an additional reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on the assessment of political and economic conditions.

Branches and credit supervision departments assess all claims in accordance with the internal rules for self-assessment of assets, and the credit review department, independent from these operating sections, audits their assessment.

The reserve for possible loan losses of other consolidated subsidiaries for general claims is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on the historical loan-loss ratios, and for doubtful claims in the amount deemed uncollectible based on assessment of each claim.

For collateralized or guaranteed claims on bankrupt borrowers and effectively bankrupt borrowers, the amount exceeding the estimated value of collateral and guarantees is deemed to be uncollectible and written off against the total outstanding amount of the claims. The amount of write-off were ¥242,619 million and ¥161,492 million at September 30 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

(16)

Hedge accounting

 

  1)

Hedging against interest rate changes

As for the hedge accounting method applied to hedging transactions for interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities, SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies deferred hedge accounting.

SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in “Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry” (JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No. 24, March 17, 2022) to portfolio hedges on groups of large-volume, small-value monetary claims and debts.

As for the portfolio hedges to offset market fluctuation, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges by classifying the hedged items (such as deposits and loans) and the hedging instruments (such as interest rate swaps) by their maturity. As for the portfolio hedges to fix cash flows, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges by verifying the correlation between the hedged items and the hedging instruments.

As for the individual hedges, SMBC also assesses the effectiveness of such individual hedges.

 

  2)

Hedging against currency fluctuations

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing Concerning Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in Banking Industry” (JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No. 25, October 8, 2020) to currency swap and foreign exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of lending or borrowing funds in different currencies.

Pursuant to JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No. 25, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of currency swap and foreign exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of offsetting the risk of changes in currency exchange rates by verifying that there are foreign-currency monetary claims and debts corresponding to the foreign-currency positions.

In order to hedge risk arising from volatility of exchange rates for stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates and other securities (excluding bonds) denominated in foreign currencies, SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting or fair value hedge accounting, on the conditions that the hedged securities are designated in advance and that sufficient on-balance (actual) or off-balance (forward) liability exposure exists to cover the cost of the hedged securities denominated in the same foreign currencies.

 

  3)

Hedging against share price fluctuations

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary, applies fair value hedge accounting to individual hedges offsetting the price fluctuation of the shares that are classified under other securities, and accordingly evaluates the effectiveness of such individual hedges.

 

—20—


Table of Contents
  4)

Transactions between consolidated subsidiaries

As for derivative transactions between consolidated subsidiaries or internal transactions between trading accounts and other accounts (or among internal sections), SMBC manages the interest rate swaps and currency swaps that are designated as hedging instruments in accordance with the non-arbitrary and strict criteria for external transactions stipulated in JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guidelines No. 24 and No. 25. Therefore, SMBC accounts for the gains or losses that arise from interest rate swaps and currency swaps in its earnings or defers them, rather than eliminating them.

Certain other consolidated subsidiaries apply the deferred hedge accounting, fair value hedge accounting or the special treatment for interest rate swaps.

 

(17)

Amortization of goodwill

Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a period in which its benefit is expected to be realized, not to exceed 20 years. Immaterial goodwill is charged or credited to income directly when incurred.

 

(18)

Scope of “Cash and cash equivalents” on interim consolidated statements of cash flows

For the purposes of presenting the interim consolidated statements of cash flows, “Cash and cash equivalents” are cash on hand, non-interest earning deposits with banks and deposits with the Bank of Japan.

 

(19)

Adoption of the group tax sharing system

The Company and certain consolidated domestic subsidiaries apply the group tax sharing system.

(Additional information)

1.  The estimates of reserve for possible loan losses related to the impact of the current international situation involving Ukraine.

Considering the uncertain business environment caused by the current international situation involving Ukraine, estimation of the reserve for possible loan losses associated with the Russia-related credits is reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements by the following method. The Russia-related credits are mainly related to corporate customers in Russia.

For losses expected to be incurred in connection with individual borrowers based on the impact of economic sanctions imposed by governments of each country and the countermeasures taken by the Russian government, etc., a reserve for possible loan losses is provided by reviewing, as necessary, borrower categories based on the most recent available information. In addition, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded as a reserve for claims originated in specific overseas countries at an amount deemed necessary in consideration of the political and economic situation in Russia.

Furthermore, in light of the probability of delays in principal or interest payments and the easing of payment terms, etc., due to the prolonged impact of such economic sanctions and countermeasures, and deterioration in the credit status of Russia including interest payments on Russian government bonds, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded at an amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment.

Also, regarding certain funds of repayment from customers in Russia, given the prolonged difficulty in collecting the funds through overseas remittances as a result of the Russian Presidential decree and instructions of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the impact of the countermeasure is estimated, and a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded at an amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment.

As a result, a reserve for possible loan losses at a total of ¥81,665 million was recorded for the Russia-related credits.

2.  The estimates of reserve for possible loan losses related to the impact of the tightening monetary policies overseas.

Considering the increasing burden of interest payments for companies due to tightening monetary policies in various countries following suppressed inflationary pressures overseas, estimation of the reserve for possible loan losses associated with such impact is reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements by the following method.

For potential losses expected to be incurred related to individual borrowers due to deterioration in business performance and funding, a reserve for possible loan losses is provided by reviewing, as necessary, borrower category based on the most recent available information.

In addition, for potential losses which cannot be reflected in any of individual borrower category, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded at an amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment. The assessment includes specifying the portfolios that are considered to be easily affected by rising interest rates, and estimating the impact of changes in the market condition and the rising interest rates.

As a result, an additional reserve for possible loan losses at a total of ¥23,076 million was recorded for such portfolio.

3.  The estimates of reserve for possible loan losses based on the current situation of the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The current situation regarding the spread of COVID-19 appeared to have stabilized to some extent as the Japanese government has downgraded its classification of COVID-19 under the Infectious Diseases Control Law to Class V. However, for certain portfolios, considering concerns over the future deterioration in credit conditions due to cease of government financial support and establishment of the new normal way of life, the estimation of the reserve for possible loan losses associated with such impact is reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements by the following method.

For potential losses expected to be incurred related to individual borrowers due to deterioration in business performance and funding, a reserve for possible loan losses is provided by reviewing, as necessary, borrower category based on the most recent available information.

In addition, for potential losses which cannot be reflected in any of individual borrower category, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded at an amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment. The assessment includes specifying the portfolios that are considered to be easily affected by the abovementioned factors from perspectives of industry and ability of debt repayment, and estimating the impact of changes in the market condition, etc.

Bankrupt and quasi-bankrupt loans are claims to borrowers who have fallen into bankruptcy due to reasons such as commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, commencement of reorganization proceedings, or petition for commencement of rehabilitation proceedings, and other similar claims.

Doubtful loans are claims to borrowers who have not yet become bankrupt but whose financial condition and business performance have deteriorated and it is highly probable that the loan principal cannot be collected and interest cannot be received in accordance with the contract, excluding bankrupt and quasi-bankrupt loans.

Past due loans (3 months or more) are loans for which the payment of principal or interest has been delayed for three months or more from the day after the agreed-upon payment date, excluding bankrupt and quasi-bankrupt loans and doubtful loans.

Restructured loans are loans on which terms and conditions have been amended in favor of the borrower with the objective of assisting the borrower’s financial recovery, such as by reducing or exempting interest, postponing interest payment and principal repayment, and forgiving debts, excluding bankrupt and quasi-bankrupt loans, doubtful loans, and past due loans (3 months or more).

Normal loans are loans that do not fall under the classification of bankrupt and quasi-bankrupt loans, doubtful loans, past due loans (3 months or more), and restructured loans, and where the borrower has no financial or business performance problems.

The amounts of loans presented above were the amounts before deduction of reserve for possible loan losses.

Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans

Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans are agreements to lend to customers, up to a prescribed amount, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. The amounts of unused commitments at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:

 

     Millions of yen  
       March 31, 2023              September 30, 2023

The amounts of unused commitments whose original contract terms are within 1 year or unconditionally cancelable at any time

     51,277,207        54,629,336  

Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of unused commitments does not necessarily affect actual future cash flow. Many of these commitments include clauses under which an application from customers can be rejected or contract amounts can be reduced in the event that economic conditions change, necessity for securing claims, or other events occur. In addition, at the time of contract, collateral such as premises and securities are requested to be pledged. Also after concluding the contracts, customer’s financial positions are monitored regularly based on internal procedures, and necessary measures such as revising contracts and securing claims are taken when such needs arise.

   Branches (5 items)    Land and buildings, etc.      26  
   Idle assets (10 items)         104  

As for land and buildings, etc., each branch which continuously manages and determines its income and expenses is the smallest unit of asset group for recognition and measurement of impairment loss of fixed assets. Intangible fixed assets and assets such as corporate headquarters facilities, training facilities, data and system centers, and health and recreational facilities which do not produce independent cash flows are treated as corporate assets. Some subsidiaries such as SMBC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, utilized management accounting framework to identify corporate assets that are reasonably deemed to be used solely by each business unit as each business unit’s corporate assets, and conducted impairment assessments on a business unit basis together with other related fixed assets.

As for idle assets, each individual property is treated as an asset group for recognition and measurement of impairment. The carrying amounts of idle assets are reduced to their recoverable amounts, and the decreased amounts are included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets,” if there are indicators that the invested amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount is calculated using net realizable value, which is basically determined by subtracting the expected disposal cost from the real estate appraisal value.

(Notes to financial instruments)

Matters concerning fair value of financial instruments and breakdown by input level

The amounts on the interim consolidated balance sheet (the amounts on the consolidated balance sheet) and the fair value of financial instruments as well as the difference between them by input level are as follows.

The amounts shown in the following tables do not include stocks with no market price, etc., and investments in partnerships (refer to Note 3).

The fair values of financial instruments are classified into the following three levels depending on the observability and significance of the input used in the fair value measurement.

Level 1: Fair value determined based on the (unadjusted) quoted price in an active market for the same asset or liability

Level 2: Fair value determined based on directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs

Level 3: Fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs

If multiple inputs with a significant impact are used for the fair value measurement of a financial instrument, the financial instrument is classified to the lowest priority level of fair value measurement in which each input belongs.

Table of Contents

(Note 1)  Description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value

Assets

Monetary claims bought

The fair values of subordinated trust beneficiary interests related to securitized housing loans among monetary claims bought are determined by estimating future cash flows using the probability of default, loss given default and prepayment rate, and assessing the value by deducting the value of senior beneficial interests, etc. from the value of underlying housing loans. The fair values of other transactions are, in principle, based on methods similar to the methods applied to Loans and bills discounted.

These transactions are mainly classified into Level 3.

Trading assets

The fair values of bonds and other securities held for trading purposes are, in principle, based on their market prices at the end of the period. The fair values of such bonds and other securities are mainly classified into Level 1 depending on the level of market activity. When fair value is determined based on either the prices quoted by the financial institutions, or future cash flows discounted using observable inputs such as interests, spreads, and others, they are classified into Level 2.

Money held in trust

The fair values of money held in trust are, in principle, fair values of securities in trust property calculated by the same method for securities that the Company owns. They are classified into Level 2.

In principle, the fair values of stocks (including foreign stocks and listed investment trusts) are based on the market price as of the six months ended September 30, 2023. They are mainly classified into Level 1 depending on the level of market activity. The fair values of securities with market prices other than stocks are based on the market price as of the six months ended September 30, 2023. Japanese Government bonds, etc., are mainly classified into Level 1 and other bonds are classified into Level 2.

The fair values of privately-placed bonds with no market prices are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, taking into account the borrower’s probability of default, loss given default, etc. Those present values are discounted by a rate comprising a risk-free interest rate with certain adjustments. However, the fair values of bonds, such as privately-placed bonds issued by bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers are based on the bond’s book value after the deduction of the expected amount of a loss on the bond computed by using the same method applied to the estimation of a loan loss. The fair values of investment trusts with no market prices are based on the net asset value.

These transactions are mainly classified into Level 2.

Loans and bills discounted, and Lease receivables and investment assets

Of these transactions, considering the characteristics of these transactions, the fair values of overdrafts with no specified repayment dates are based on their book values as they are considered to approximate their fair values.

For short-term transactions, the fair values are also based on their book values as they are considered to approximate their fair values.

The fair values of long-term transactions are, in principle, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows taking into account the borrower’s probability of default, loss given default, etc. Those present values are discounted by a rate comprising a risk-free interest rate with certain adjustments. At certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company, the fair values are calculated based on the present values of estimated future cash flows, which are computed based on the contractual interest rate. Those present values are discounted by a rate comprising a risk-free rate and a credit risk premium.

Table of Contents

Regarding claims on bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers, expected losses on such claims are calculated based on either the expected recoverable amount from disposal of collateral or guarantees, or the present value of expected future cash flows. Since the claims’ interim consolidated balance sheet amounts (consolidated balance sheet amounts) minus the expected amount of loan losses approximate their fair values, such amounts are considered to be their fair values.

These transactions are mainly classified into Level 3.

Liabilities

Trading liabilities

The fair values of bonds sold for short sales and other securities for trading purposes are, in principle, based on their market prices as of the end of the period. They are mainly classified into Level 1.

Deposits, Negotiable certificates of deposit, and Due to trust account

Out of these transactions, the fair values of demand deposits and deposits without maturity are based on their book values. The fair values of transactions with a short-term remaining maturity are also based on their book values, as their book values are regarded to approximate their fair values. The fair values of transactions with a long-term remaining maturity are, in principle, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted by the interest rate assuming that the same type of deposit is newly accepted until the end of the remaining maturity.

The fair values of borrowings from the trust account related to covered bond issued by the trust account are based on the amount calculated in accordance with the price quoted by industry associations, etc.

These transactions are classified into Level 2.

Borrowed money and Bonds

The fair values of short-term transactions are based on their book values, as their book values are considered to approximate their fair values. For long-term transactions, their fair values are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows calculated using the refinancing rate applied to the same type of instruments for the remaining maturity.

For transactions with the price quoted by industry associations, etc., fair value is based on the amount calculated by using the published price data, yield data, etc.

These transactions are mainly classified into Level 2.

Derivative transactions

The fair values of listed derivatives are based on their closing prices. The fair values of over-the-counter derivative transactions are based on the present value of the future cash flows, option valuation models, etc., calculated using inputs such as interest rate, foreign exchange rate, stock price, commodity price, etc.

Over-the-counter derivative transactions take into account the counterparty’s and the Company’s credit risks, and the liquidity risks of the unsecured lending funds. Listed derivative transactions are mainly classified into Level 1. Over-the-counter derivative transactions are classified into Level 2 if observable inputs are available or impact of unobservable inputs to the fair values is not significant. If impact of unobservable inputs to the fair values is significant, they are classified into Level 3.

Description of the fair value valuation process

At the Group, the middle division establishes policies and procedures for the calculation of fair value, and the front division develops valuation models in accordance with such policies and procedures. The middle division verifies the reasonableness of the fair value valuation models, the inputs used, and the appropriateness of the classified fair value level of the calculated fair value.

Observable data is utilized as much as possible for the valuation model. If quoted prices obtained from third parties are used, those values are verified by comparison with results recalculated by the Group using the inputs for the valuation.

Description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in significant unobservable inputs

Probability of default

Probability of default represents the likelihood that the default will occur, and is calculated based on actual defaults in the past. A significant increase (decrease) in the default rate would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value.

Loss given default

Loss given default is the proportion of estimated losses in the event that default occurs to the total balance of bonds or loans and bills discounted, and is calculated based on actual defaults in the past. A significant increase (decrease) in loss given default would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value.

Prepayment rate

Prepayment rate is the proportion of estimated principals of assuming that prepayment is made in each period, and is calculated based on actual payment in the past. In general, a significant change in prepayment rate would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value according to the contractual terms and conditions of the financial instruments.

Volatility

Volatility is an indicator that represents the estimation of severity of change over a certain period in values of inputs and market values. Volatility is estimated based on actual results in the past, information derived from third parties and other analysis approach. Volatility is mainly used in valuation of derivatives that refer to potential changes of interest rate, foreign exchange rate, stock price, etc. In general, a significant increase (decrease) in volatility would result in a significant increase (decrease) in a fair value.

Correlation

Correlation is an indicator of the relation of variables such as interest rate, foreign exchange rate, Credit Default Swap (CDS) spread and stock price. Correlation is estimated based on actual results in the past, and is mainly used in valuation technique of complex derivatives, etc. In general, a significant change in correlation would generally result in a significant increase or decrease in a fair value according to the contractual terms and conditions of the financial instruments.

3. Write-down of securities

Bonds classified as held-to-maturity and other securities (excluding other securities whose interim consolidated balance sheet amounts are not measured at fair value) are considered as impaired if the fair value decreases materially below the acquisition cost and such decline is not considered as recoverable. The fair value is recognized as the interim consolidated balance sheet amount (consolidated balance sheet amount) and the amount of write-down is accounted for as valuation loss for the period. Valuation losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and for the six months ended September 30, 2023 were ¥408 million and ¥31,602 million, respectively. The rule for determining “material decline” is as follows and is based on the classification of issuers under the rules of self-assessment of assets.

 

Bankrupt/Effectively bankrupt/Potentially bankrupt issuers:

 

    Fair value is lower than acquisition cost.

Issuers requiring caution:

 

    Fair value is 30% or lower than acquisition cost.

Normal issuers:

 

    Fair value is 50% or lower than acquisition cost.

Bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are legally bankrupt or formally declared bankrupt.
Effectively bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are not legally bankrupt but regarded as substantially bankrupt.
Potentially bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are not bankrupt now, but are perceived to have a high risk of falling into bankruptcy.
Issuers requiring caution: Issuers that are identified for close monitoring.
Normal issuers: Issuers other than the above 4 categories of issuers.

Accounting methods applied to the reported business segment are the same as those described in “(Significant accounting policies for preparing interim consolidated financial statements).” In case several business units cooperate for transactions, profit and loss, and expenses related to the transactions are recognized in the business units cooperating for the transactions and those amounts are calculated in accordance with internal managerial accounting policy.

The Company does not assess assets by business segments.
