3. Notes to quarterly consolidated financial statements

(Changes in accounting policies)

Application of Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes, etc.

The Company applied the “Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes” (ASBJ Statement No.27, October 28, 2022), the “Accounting Standard for Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASBJ Statement No.25, October 28, 2022) and the “Implementation Guidance on Tax Effect Accounting” (ASBJ Guidance No.28, October 28, 2022) from the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2024.

As for the revision of accounting classification of current income taxes (imposed on Other comprehensive income) in accordance with the transitional treatment stipulated in the proviso of Paragraph 20-3 of the Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes and Paragraph 65-2, Item 2 of the Implementation Guidance on Tax Effect Accounting, the cumulative effects by the retroactive application of the new accounting policies prior to the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2024, were adjusted to “Retained earnings” at the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2024. Furthermore, the corresponding amounts were appropriately allocated among “Capital surplus”, “Valuation and translation adjustments” and “Total accumulated other comprehensive income,” and new accounting standards were applied from the beginning balance of the three months ended June 30, 2024. As a result, “Retained earnings” increased by ¥59,330 million and “Net unrealized gains on other securities” decreased by ¥59,330 million at the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2024.

As for the revision to review the treatment of gains or losses on sales arising from the sale of subsidiaries’ stocks and others between consolidated companies in the consolidated financial statements, in cases where the gains or losses on sales is deferred for tax purposes, the Company applied the Implementation Guidance on Tax Effect Accounting from the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2024. There were no significant effects on the consolidated financial statements due to the application of the Implementation Guidance.

(Application of special accounting methods used for preparing quarterly consolidated financial statements)

The Company and certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries calculated tax expenses by multiplying Income before income taxes by an effective tax rate that was reasonably estimated by applying tax effect accounting to estimated Income before income taxes for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 including the period for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Amounts of Income taxes include Income taxes-deferred.
