Consolidated Financial Results

April 1, 2007 – March 31, 2008

May 9, 2008

In preparing its consolidated financial information, ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries have complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except as modified to account for stock splits in accordance with the usual practice in Japan.

U.S. Dollar amounts have been calculated at Yen 100.19 to $1.00, the approximate exchange rate prevailing at March 31, 2008.

These documents may contain forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial results that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and under “4. Risk Factors” of the “Summary of Consolidated Financial Results” herein.

The Company believes that it will be considered a “passive foreign investment company” for United States Federal income tax purpose in the year to which these consolidated financial results relate and for the foreseeable future by reason of the composition of its assets and the nature of its income. A U.S. holder of the shares or ADSs of the Company is therefore subject to special rules generally intended to eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. Federal income tax that a holder could derive from investing in a foreign corporation that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. Investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to such rules, which are summarized in the Company’s annual report.

1. Analysis of Financial Highlights

1-1. Financial Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008

Economic Environment

The world economy maintained an underlying trend of expansion during the present fiscal year, however signs of a slowdown have increased as an effect of instability in the financial system and the credit crunch caused by the U.S. subprime loan problem.

The U.S. economy maintained its growth supported by brisk capital investment and exports, but a sense of uncertainty concerning the future has begun to arise with the sharp reduction in residential investment and a continuing decreasing trend in consumer spending. The European economy also showed signs of continued expansion although growth rates are slowing due to stagnation in consumer spending. In Asia, while China continued to record high growth and other countries across Asia also showed signs of economic expansion, concerns are growing regarding the effects of the slowing U.S. economy.

The Japanese economy maintained its trend of gradual economic recovery supported by expansion in capital investment and exports, however due to the effects of a decline in residential investment, increases in energy and raw material prices and the strong yen, a slowdown trend has become clear and signs of an adjustment have increased.

Overview of Business Performance (April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008)

Revenues: 1,154,054 million yen (Up 3% year on year)

Revenues increased 3% to 1,154,054 million yen compared with the previous fiscal year. Although revenues from “direct financing leases,” “brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities,” “life insurance premiums and related investment income” and “gains on sales of real estate under operating leases” decreased year on year, revenues from “operating leases,” “interest on loans and investment securities,” “real estate sales,” and “other operating revenues” were up compared to the previous fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Revenues from “direct financing leases” decreased 13% to 78,592 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year. In Japan, revenues from “direct financing leases” were down 14% to 53,727 million yen compared to 62,442 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to a lower level of operating assets resulting from securitizations made in the latter half of the previous fiscal year and our prudent selectiveness of new projects, in addition to decreases in revenues from cancellations and revenues from sales of direct financing lease assets and a decrease in gains from securitizations. Overseas, revenues were down 11% to 24,865 million yen compared to 27,830 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the lower level of operating assets.

Revenues from “operating leases” increased 16% to 290,743 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year. In Japan, revenues were up 13% to 214,422 million yen compared to 189,563 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to an expansion in automobile, real estate operating leases and precision measuring and other equipment rental operations. Overseas, revenues were up 23% to 76,321 million yen compared to 61,919 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to factors including an expansion of automobile operating leases in the Asia, Oceania and Europe segment.

Revenues from “interest on loans and investment securities” increased 13% to 227,020 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year. In Japan, “interest on loans and investment securities” increased 18% to 182,314 million yen compared to 154,034 million yen in the previous fiscal year due primarily to an expansion of loans to corporate customers, including non-recourse loans. Overseas, revenues were down 6% to 44,706 million yen compared to 47,497 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in contributions from interest on investment securities recorded in the previous fiscal year, despite an expansion of loans to corporate customers mainly in The Americas segment.

Revenues from “brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities” decreased 67% to 23,521 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year. Brokerage commissions decreased 12% year on year. Net gains on investment securities decreased 74% year on year due to a decrease in revenues from the venture capital operations and market valuation losses from deterioration in the credit markets in The Americas segment. In addition, gains on the sale of a portion of our shares in Aozora Bank, Ltd. (herein referred to as “Aozora Bank”) in connection with its listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange were recorded in the previous fiscal year.

“Life insurance premiums and related investment income” were down 3% year on year to 128,616 million yen due to a decrease in life insurance premiums compared to the previous fiscal year and a decrease in life insurance related investment income.

Although the number of condominiums sold to buyers in Japan decreased compared to the previous fiscal year, “real estate sales” increased 1% year on year to 88,445 million yen due to gains from sales recorded in the Oceania region. Residential condominiums developed through certain joint ventures are recorded under “equity in net income of affiliates” net of revenues and costs.

“Gains on sales of real estate under operating leases” were down 27% year on year to 16,756 million yen due to a decrease in gains on sales of office buildings and other real estate not classified under discontinued operations (refer to (Note 1) below).

“Other operating revenues” increased 12% year on year to 300,361 million yen. In Japan, revenues were up 16% to 236,341 million yen compared to 203,823 million yen in the previous fiscal year due mainly to an increase in revenues associated with real estate management operations including golf courses and training facilities, and contributions from the beginning of this fiscal year from companies in which we invested in the previous fiscal year. Overseas, revenues were flat at 64,020 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year.

 

Note 1:   Subsidiaries, business units, and certain rental properties sold or to be disposed of by sale, are reported under continuing operations or discontinued operations, and are dependent on the existence of significant continuing involvements. In the absence of significant continuing involvements, they are reported under discontinued operations and the related amounts that had been previously reported have been reclassified retroactively.

Expenses: 964,853 million yen (Up 15% year on year)

Expenses increased 15% to 964,853 million yen compared with the previous fiscal year. Although “interest expense,” “costs of operating leases,” “costs of real estate sales,” “other operating expenses,” “selling, general and administrative expenses,” “provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses,” “write-downs of long-lived assets” and “write-downs of securities” increased year on year, “life insurance costs” were down year on year.

“Interest expense” was up 31% year on year to 106,140 million yen due mainly to an increase in Japan. In Japan, “interest expense” increased 50% year on year due to higher interest rates as well as higher average debt levels. Overseas, “interest expense” increased 6% year on year due mainly to higher average debt levels.

“Costs of operating leases” were up 14% year on year to 185,278 million yen accompanying the increase in operating lease assets.

“Life insurance costs” were down 2% year on year to 112,869 million yen.

“Costs of real estate sales” were up 10% year on year to 81,056 million yen due to a recognition of write-downs resulting from factors including an increase in development costs for units under development in the condominium operations.

“Other operating expenses” were up 21% year on year to 170,476 million yen resulting from factors including the recognition of expenses from the beginning of this fiscal year from companies in which we invested in the previous fiscal year, as previously mentioned in “other operating revenues.”

“Selling, general and administrative expenses” were up 7% year on year to 265,863 million yen due to an increase in general and administrative expenses for write-downs of intangible assets, in addition to recorded expenses associated with companies in which we invested in the previous fiscal year from the beginning of this fiscal year, and expenses associated with the expansion of existing operations.

“Provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses” more than doubled year on year to 33,226 million yen reflecting factors including a recent slowdown in the economy, and due in addition to some reversals in the previous fiscal year and an increase in installment loans.

“Write-downs of long-lived assets” were up 70% year on year to 1,742 million yen.

“Write-downs of securities” were up 48% year on year to 8,290 million yen due mainly to a decline in the domestic securities market in Japan.

Net Income: 169,597 million yen (Down 14% year on year)

“Operating income” was down 33% year on year to 189,201 million yen due to the reasons noted above.

“Equity in net income of affiliates” increased 51% to 48,343 million yen due to an increase in profits from equity method affiliates based in Japan and earnings from investments in residential condominiums developed through certain joint ventures, despite a decrease in profits from overseas due to sales of affiliates.

“Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses” were up more than six times year on year to 12,222 million yen, due to gains on sales of affiliates mainly in the Asian region and sales of affiliates in the corporate rehabilitation business in Japan.

As a result, “income before income taxes, minority interests in earnings of subsidiaries, discontinued operations and extraordinary gain” decreased 21% year on year to 249,766 million yen.

“Minority interests in earnings of subsidiaries, net” decreased 19% year on year to 3,918 million yen.

“Income from continuing operations” decreased 21% year on year to 146,864 million yen.

“Discontinued operations (refer to (Note 1) on page 2), net of applicable tax effect” more than doubled year on year to 21,800 million yen due mainly to an increase in gains on sales of real estate under operating leases in Japan, despite the recognition of losses from subsidiaries in the corporate rehabilitation business in Japan.

As a result of the foregoing changes, “net income” decreased 14% year on year to 169,597 million yen.

Table of Contents

Other Segment:

Although contributions were recorded from the beginning of this fiscal year from companies in which we invested in the previous fiscal year, segment revenues decreased 13% year on year to 126,343 million yen due to a decrease in revenues from venture capital operations, in addition to gains on the sale of a portion of our shares in Aozora Bank which were recorded in the previous fiscal year.

Segment profits decreased 59% to 24,720 million yen compared to 60,387 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to a large decrease in segment revenues and the recognition of losses from subsidiaries in the corporate rehabilitation business in Japan despite an increase in contributions from equity method affiliates in Japan.

Segment assets decreased 4% on March 31, 2007 to 745,318 million yen.

Overseas Operations

The Americas Segment:

Although the U.S. subprime mortgage loan problem had no direct impact, market valuation losses were recognized from deterioration in the credit markets. Furthermore, despite an increase in revenues associated with corporate loans and an increase in gains from sales of real estate under operating leases, there were one-off contributions made by gains on investment securities and interest on investment securities in the previous fiscal year. As a result, segment revenues decreased 15% year on year to 101,739 million yen.

Segment profits decreased 48% to 16,198 million yen compared to 31,315 million yen in the previous fiscal year accompanying a decrease in segment revenues and an increase in “provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses.”

Segment assets decreased 7% on March 31, 2007 to 452,976 million yen due mainly to factors including the strong yen and a decrease in investment in direct financing leases, despite an increase in corporate loans.

Asia, Oceania and Europe Segment:

Segment revenues were up 18% year on year to 121,988 million yen due to an expansion of operating leases, including automobile leasing, and the recognition of real estate sales and ship finance-related revenues this fiscal year, despite the absence of a recognition of gains on the sale of operations in the Oceania region in previous fiscal year.

Although contributions from equity method affiliates decreased due to the sale of our interest in Korea Life Insurance Co., Ltd, segment profits increased 20% to 45,391 million yen compared to 37,763 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to an increase in segment revenues, in addition to factors including the recognition of gains on the sale of our interest in Korea Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

“Interest expense” was up year on year due to higher average debt levels and higher interest rates. “Costs of operating leases” were up year on year in line with the increase in operating assets. “Life insurance costs” were down compared with the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. “Costs of real estate sales” increased year on year in line with the higher “real estate sales.” “Other operating expenses” increased in line with the higher “other operating revenues.” “Selling, general and administrative expenses” were up year on year. “Provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses” increased compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, reflecting factors including the recent slowdown in the economy, and due in addition to some reversals in the same period of the previous fiscal year and an increase in installment loans. “Write-downs of long-lived assets” and “write-downs of securities” were up year on year.

The foregoing changes resulted in a decrease in “operating income” by 12,816 million yen to 47,056 million yen compared with the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

“Equity in net income of affiliates” increased due to contributions from affiliates based in Japan and residential condominiums developed through certain joint ventures, despite a decrease in profits from overseas affiliates. “Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses” also increased. However, “income before income taxes, minority interests in earnings of subsidiaries, discontinued operations and extraordinary gain” decreased by 309 million yen compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year to 70,332 million yen.

“Minority interests in earnings of subsidiaries” of 418 million yen were recorded, and “income from continuing operations” decreased by 899 million yen compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year to 43,092 million yen.

“Discontinued operations, net of applicable tax effect” added 4,644 million yen due mainly to an increase in gains on sales of real estate under operating leases in Japan, despite the recognition of losses from subsidiaries in the corporate rehabilitation business in Japan. As a result, “net income” in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year increased by 3,144 million yen to 48,669 million yen compared with “net income” of 45,525 million yen in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

1-2. Outlook and Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2009

In terms of the business environment for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, there is increasing uncertainty for the outlook of the world economy as an effect of instability in the financial system and the credit crunch caused by the U.S. subprime loan problem. Furthermore, a slowdown trend is expected also for the Japanese economy due to increases in energy and raw material prices and the strong yen.

While the ORIX Group’s medium- and long-term growth path has not fundamentally changed, we have concluded that presently we must prioritize soundness. We will continue to take a prudent approach on taking credit risk, while we aim to achieve overall profit growth by maintaining and improving profitability in each business segment including the expansion of interest margins on loans in our Corporate Financial Services segment.

Under the above-mentioned economic environment and management policies, we are forecasting for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, “total revenues” of 1,271,000 million yen (up 10.1% compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008), and “net income” of 175,000 million yen (up 3.2%).

Although forward-looking statements in this document such as forecasts are attributable to current information available to the Company as well as on assumptions deemed rational, actual financial results may differ materially due to various factors.

The ORIX Group has been diversifying its business expansion into areas centering on its financial service operations, including real estate-related and investment-related operations. Due to the characteristics of these operations, which are affected by changes in economic conditions in Japan and overseas, our operating environment, as well as market trends, it has become difficult to accurately estimate figures, such as earnings forecasts.

Therefore, readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these figures as they may differ materially from the actual financial results.

Various factors causing these figures to differ materially are discussed, but not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in the Form 20-F submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and additional items listed on page 10 of “4. Risk Factors” of the “Summary of Consolidated Financial Results.”

2. Analysis of Financial Condition

2-1. Analysis of Assets, Liabilities, Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows

Operating Assets: 7,203,473 million yen (Up 9% on March 31, 2007)

Operating assets were up 9% on March 31, 2007 to 7,203,473 million yen. As a result of our continuing selectiveness of projects, “investment in direct financing leases” was down on March 31, 2007, while “installment loans,” “investment in operating leases,” “investment in securities” and “other operating assets” increased.

We expect to ascertain risk and accumulate high-quality operating assets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased by 105,492 million yen to 320,655 million yen compared to March 31, 2007.

“Cash flows from operating activities” provided 156,287 million yen in this fiscal year. The adjustments of “net income” include “depreciation and amortization” and “provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses,” while there are outflows such as “increase in loans held for sale,” “increase in inventories” and “decrease in security deposits.”

“Cash flows from investing activities” used 838,331 million yen in this fiscal year and used 802,278 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to factors including an increase in outflows associated with the increase in “installment loans made to customers,” as a result of the expansion of loans to corporate customers, and the increase in “purchases of available-for-sale securities.”

“Cash flows from financing activities” provided 792,966 million yen in this fiscal year and provided 545,014 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to an increase in debt accompanying the increase in operating assets.

3. Profit Distribution Policy and Dividends for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008

ORIX believes that securing profits from its businesses primarily as retained earnings, and utilizing them for strengthening its base of operations and making investments for growth, assists in sustaining profit growth while maintaining financial stability, leading to increased shareholder value. ORIX’s current policy is to meet the needs of its shareholders by increasing shareholder value through medium- and long-term profit growth and suitable profit distribution.

ORIX determines dividends with the dividend-on-equity ratio as a principal indicator (herein referred to as “DOE”). Based on the recent economic environment, ORIX presently aims at a DOE ratio of approximately 2%. Regarding share buybacks, ORIX will take into account the adequate level of retained earnings and act flexibly and accordingly by considering factors such as changes in the economic environment, trend in stock prices, and financial situation.

Under the above policy, and based on current business conditions, a dividend of 260 yen per share, an increase of 130 yen is scheduled for this fiscal year. Dividend distribution is scheduled once a year as a year-end dividend.

4. Risk Factors

With the announcement of our results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, additional items have arisen concerning “Risk Factors” found in our latest Form 20-F submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2007, and the changes are shown below.

 

2. Risk related to our business overall
(1) Operational Risk
(ii) Risks related to computer and other information systems

We are highly reliant on computer systems and other information systems for financial transactions, personal information management, business monitoring and processing and as part of our business decision-making and risk management activities. Furthermore, we have developed data center services and began to offer a system environment to our customers as of November 1, 2007. System shutdowns, malfunctions or failures due to unexpected contingencies, the mishandling or fraudulent acts of employees or third parties, or infection by a computer virus could have an adverse effect on our operations, such as hindered receipt and payment of monies, leak or loss of confidential information or personal information, the generation of errors in information used for business decision-making and risk management, the leak or loss of information belonging to our customers, and the suspension of services provided to our customers. In such event, our liquidity or that of the customer who relies on us for financing or payment, as well as the business of the customer who utilizes our data center services, and our relationship with our customers could be adversely affected. As a result, we could be sued or subject to administrative penalty or our reputation or credibility could be adversely affected.

Our information system equipment could suffer damage from a large-scale natural disaster or terrorism. Since information systems serve an increasingly important role in business activities, the risk of stoppage of the network or information system due to disaster or terrorism is increasing. If the network or information system stops, we could experience interruption of business activity, delay in payment or sales, or substantial costs for recovery of the network or the information system.

3. Risks related to our external environment

 

(4) Our business may be adversely affected by economic fluctuations and political disturbances

We conduct business operations in Japan as well as overseas, including in the United States, Asia, Oceania and Europe. Economic deterioration, turmoil in financial markets, changes in commodities markets, political instability or religious strife in any such region could adversely affect our operations.

For example, if as a result of the U.S. sub-prime loan problem and other factors, unstable market conditions continue and global financial market conditions deteriorate further, valuation of our securities, loans and other commitments could be subject to greater uncertainty. Notwithstanding our attempt to minimize these risks through risk management procedures, our financial condition could be adversely affected by such conditions.

Furthermore, due to continuing turmoil in such financial markets, it is possible that risks related to our liquidity could significantly increase in the event that concerns emerge related to potential bankruptcies of financial institutions. Such developments may result in an increase in uncertainty in financial systems, increases in market interest rates, additional credit exposure or weak investor

sentiment that could adversely affect our access to funding, business activities, financial condition and operating results.

Furthermore, the item “4. Risks related to specific business (11) Risk related to legal proceedings against Korea Life Insurance Co.” found in “Risk Factors” will be deleted due to the sale of all of our shares in Korea Life Insurance Co. on September 28, 2007.

3. Medium- and Long-Term Corporate Management Strategies

The ORIX Group is aiming to achieve sustained growth under a medium- and long-term perspective. With the continued evolution of the economy and society, market demands for innovative products and services increasingly impact the financial services sector, the ORIX Group’s principal operating domain. Accordingly, the ORIX Group has identified management’s ability to promptly and flexibly respond to changing market needs as critical to achieving medium- and long-term growth.

To realize this objective, the ORIX Group is undertaking operations based on the following policies.

 

-  

Expand sales network developed through financial services, including leases and loans, and further strengthen base of operations for growth through diverse business expansion.

 

-  

Utilize sales network to promote investment banking operations such as principal investments, including corporate rehabilitation and business succession, and advisory services related to M&A and financial restructuring.

 

-  

Utilize the ORIX Group’s strengths in the fields of both finance and real estate to further expand real estate-related operations within a market environment where real estate’s evolvement into a financial product continues.

 

-  

Diversify overseas operations from existing businesses focusing on financing for SMEs to real estate-related operations and investment banking operations, as well as expansion into new regions.

With the business year beginning from April 2008, we have changed certain elements of its organization and business will be managed under a new structure. Segments in which strategic planning, allocation of management resources, and portfolio balance decisions are taken will be realigned into the following six categories: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment Banking, Retail and Overseas Business.

In light of the ORIX Group’s rapid expansion and transformation during the past four to five years, management believes the consolidation into six segments to be a vital factor in ensuring a position of strategic advantage and maximizing corporate value.

Through the effective allocation and the monitoring of equity, capital, and human resources amongst these six segments, we look to maximize corporate value.

The overview of operations and operating strategies of the six new segments are shown below.

4. Challenges to be Addressed

The ORIX Group understands that a robust and dynamic corporate structure is integral to achieving sustained growth. In specific terms, we intend to implement the following four measures.

 

1. Accumulate transactions that satisfy both social and economic conditions

 

2. Further improve our financial position

 

3. Establish a workplace environment that is valued by employees

 

4. Enhance risk management

In an effort to accumulate transactions, the ORIX Group aims to provide quality products and services for its customers, and seeks to increase corporate profitability, as well as to engage in those transactions that comply with relevant laws and regulations while also taking environmental issues into consideration.

From the perspective of further improving the ORIX Group’s financial position, during the past number of years, financial position and credit ratings have been commensurate with results, but in order to secure new growth opportunities, we will strive for further improvements. In light of the present environment of increasing global credit instability and uncertainty, we will pay particular attention to maintaining an appropriate balance sheet.

We will strive to establish a rewarding and motivating workplace in which employees can fulfill their potential irrespective of nationality, age, gender, career, education and employment type, thereby increasing the strength of the organization as a whole.

In relation to enhancing risk management, we will look to steadily achieve management goals through timely and comprehensive enterprise risk management programs incorporating capital management, individual business risk, procurement of funds and personnel strategies in order to flexibly adapt to changes in the business environment and the diversifications of our businesses.

Note: 1.     The results of the reported segments from the first quarter of this fiscal year reflect the revised business classification of the Company. Accordingly, leasing operations of the affiliates, which had been included in the “Other” segment, have been included in the “Corporate Financial Services” segment from the first quarter of this fiscal year. Therefore, certain related amounts that had been previously reported are reclassified.

 

          2.     The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on income before income taxes as well as results of discontinued operations, minority interests in earnings of subsidiaries and extraordinary gain, before applicable tax effect. Tax expenses are not included in segment profits.

[Significant Accounting Policies]

(New Accounting Pronouncement)

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”) on April 1, 2007. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 did not have a significant effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

Other than the above, there were no significant changes from the latest report.
