CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS, CONVENTIONS AND

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

As used in this annual report, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” and “ORIX” refer to ORIX Corporation, and “ORIX Group,” “Group,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

In this annual report, “subsidiary” and “subsidiaries” refer to consolidated subsidiaries of ORIX, generally companies in which ORIX owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock and exercises effective control over the companies’ operations; and “affiliate” and “affiliates” refer to all of our affiliates accounted for by the equity method, generally companies in which ORIX has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operations by way of 20-50% ownership of the outstanding voting stock or other means.

 

The consolidated financial statements of ORIX have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For certain entities where we hold majority voting interests but noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights to decisions that occur as part of the ordinary course of the business, the equity method is applied. In addition, the consolidated financial statements also include variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company and its subsidiaries are primary beneficiaries. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, all amounts in such financial statements are expressed in Japanese yen.

 

References in this annual report to “¥” or “yen” are to Japanese yen and references to “US$,” “$” or “dollars” are to United States dollars.

 

Certain monetary amounts and percentage data included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments for the convenience of the reader. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in tables may not be equal to the arithmetic sums of the figures that precede them.

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 is referred to throughout this annual report as “fiscal 2017,” and other fiscal years are referred to in a corresponding manner. References to years not specified as being fiscal years are to calendar years.

 

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of shares of its common stock and amended its unit share system such that one hundred shares constitute one unit. The total number of authorized shares of ORIX’s common stock increased from 259,000,000 shares to 2,590,000,000 shares, and the total number of shares of ORIX’s common stock issued increased from 124,871,476 shares to 1,248,714,760 shares. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs (which may be evidenced by one or more American Depositary Receipts or “ADRs”) to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per 1 ADS to 5 underlying shares per 1 ADS. Unless indicated otherwise, numbers of Shares of ORIX’s common stock, per Share information for ORIX’s common stock, for example historical dividend information, and ORIX’s ADS information in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split effective on April 1, 2013.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This annual report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When included in this annual report, the words “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and similar expressions, among others, identify forward looking statements. Such statements, which include, but are not limited to, statements contained in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors,” “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” inherently are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such statements.

Table of Contents

These forward-looking statements are made only as of the filing date of this annual report. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release any update or revision to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as all the other information in this annual report, including, but not limited to, our consolidated financial statements and related notes and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” Our business activities, financial condition and results of operations and the trading prices of our securities could be adversely affected by any of the factors discussed below or other factors. Even if we do not incur direct pecuniary loss, our reputation may be adversely affected. This annual report also contains forward-looking statements that involve uncertainties. Our actual results could differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this annual report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Forward-looking statements in this section are made only as of the filing date of this annual report.

 

1. Risks Related to our External Environment

 

(1) Global economic weakness and instability could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Our business is affected by general economic conditions and financial conditions in Japan and in foreign countries.

 

The economy of the United States has been on a continuing trend of recovery with improvements in employment and income environments. The economy of Europe has picked up moderately, the Chinese economy

Table of Contents

is still in a correction phase and the economies of emerging and resource-rich countries have bottomed out. Although interest rates remain low worldwide, the prospect of rising interest rates has been strong in the United States. In addition, there are political and geopolitical tensions in certain regions that need to be monitored carefully.

 

The Japanese economy on the whole has been in a moderate recovery phase despite some areas of weakness.

 

Despite our attempts to minimize the adverse effect of an unstable economic climate on our overall business through, for example, improving our risk management procedures, instability in the global economy could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(2) We may lose market share or suffer reduced profitability as a result of competition based on pricing and other terms

 

We compete on the basis of pricing, transaction structure, service quality and other terms. It is possible that our competitors may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing and other terms through their advantageous funding costs or without regard to their profitability. As a result of such aggressive competition by our competitors, our market share or our profitability may decline.

 

(3) Negative rumors could affect our business activities, financial condition, results of operations and share price

 

Our business is built upon the confidence of our customers and market participants. Whether based on facts or not, negative rumors about our activities, our industries or the parties with whom we do business could harm our reputation and diminish confidence in our business. In such an event, we may lose customers or business opportunities, which could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our share price.

 

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

 

We conduct business operations in Japan as well as in the United States, Asia excluding Japan, Oceania, the Middle East and Europe. Outside Japan, we have large operations in the United States, Asia, Oceania and Europe. Recessions, fluctuations or shifts in commodity market prices and consumer demand, political, social or economic instability or acts of violence or war in these and other regions could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(5) Our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by unpredictable events

 

Our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by unpredictable events or any continuing effects caused by such events. Unpredictable events include man-made events, such as accidents, war, terrorism and insurgency, and natural events, such as earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, fires and outbreaks of infectious diseases. If any such event occurs, it may, among other things, cause unexpectedly large market price movements or an unexpected deterioration of economic conditions in a country or region, or cause major injuries to our staff or damages to our facilities, equipment and other property, which could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(6) Dispositions of Shares may adversely affect market prices for our Shares

 

As of June 27, 2017, two of our shareholders have filed large shareholder reports pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (“FIEA”) indicating, at the time of filing, beneficial ownership, as that term is

 

5


Table of Contents

used in the FIEA, of more than five percent of the total number of our outstanding Shares by the relevant shareholder. Such and other of our shareholders may, for strategic, investment or other reasons, decide to reduce their shareholdings in ORIX. Dispositions of Shares, particularly dispositions of large numbers of Shares by major shareholders, may adversely affect market prices for our Shares. For information on major shareholders, see “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

 

If foreign investors reduce their investment in Japanese stocks due to changes in global or domestic economic or political conditions, market prices for our Shares could be adversely affected because a large percentage of our Shares are owned by investors outside of Japan.

 

2. Credit Risk

 

Our credit-related costs might increase

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses. However, we cannot be sure that the allowance will be adequate to cover future credit losses. This allowance may be inadequate due to unexpected adverse changes in the Japanese and overseas economies in which we operate, or deterioration in the conditions of specific customers, industries or markets.

 

While we constantly strive to improve our portfolio management, we may be required to make additional provisions in the future depending on economic trends and other factors.

 

Furthermore, if adverse economic or market conditions affect the value of underlying collateral and guarantees, our credit-related costs other than the allowance might increase. If any such event occurs, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

3. Business Risk

 

(1) We are exposed to risks from our diverse and expanding range of products and services, acquisitions of companies and assets, and entry into joint ventures and alliances

 

We are engaged in a broad range of businesses in Japan and overseas and continue to expand such range, including through acquisitions of companies and businesses. Such expansion may expose us to new and complex risks that we may be unable to fully control or foresee, and, as a result, we may incur unexpected and potentially substantial costs or losses. In addition, we may not achieve targeted results if business opportunities do not develop or increase as expected or if competitive pressures undermine profitability.

 

As part of our business expansion, we may acquire companies or businesses. If the results of operations of an acquired company or business are lower than what we expected at the time we made such acquisition, we could be required to make large write-downs of goodwill or other assets.

 

We have a wide range of investments in business operations, including operations that are very different from our financial services business. If we fail to manage our investee companies effectively, we may experience financial losses as well as losses of future business opportunities. In addition, we may not be able to sell or otherwise dispose of investments at times or prices we initially expected or at all. We may also need to provide financial support, including credit support or equity investments, to some investee companies if their financial condition deteriorates.

 

From time to time we also enter into joint ventures and other alliances, and the success of these alliances is often dependent upon the operational capabilities, the financial stability and the legal environment of our counterparties. If an alliance suffers a decline in its financial condition or is subject to operational instability because of a change in applicable laws or regulations, we may be required to pay in additional capital, reduce our investment at a loss, or terminate the alliance.

Table of Contents

If any such events occur, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(2) We are exposed to risks related to asset value volatility

 

In the management of our businesses, we hold various classes of assets and investments, including ships, aircraft, real estate, equipment and other assets in Japan and overseas. The market values of our assets and investments are volatile and may decline substantially in the future.

 

Asset valuation losses are recorded based on the fair market values at the time when revaluation is conducted in accordance with applicable accounting principles. However, losses from the sale of these assets, including as a result of a sudden need for liquidity, may exceed the amount of recorded valuation losses.

 

We estimate the residual value for certain operating leases at the time of contract. Our estimates of the residual value of equipment are based on current market values of used equipment and assumptions about when and to what extent the equipment will become obsolete; however, we may need to recognize additional valuation losses if our estimates differ from actual trends in equipment valuation and the secondhand market, and we may incur losses if we are unable to collect such estimated residual amounts.

 

If any event described above occurs, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(3) Risks related to our other businesses

 

We operate a wide range of businesses in Japan and overseas, including financial services businesses.

 

Entry into new businesses, and the results of operations following such entry, are accompanied by various uncertainties, and if any unanticipated risk does occur, it may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

4. Market Risk

 

(1) Changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates could adversely affect our assets and our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Our business activities are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates in Japan and overseas. Although we conduct asset-liability management (“ALM”), changes in the yield curve and currency exchange rates could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

When fund procurement costs increase due to actual or perceived increases in market interest rates, financing lease terms and loan interest rates for new transactions may diverge from the trend in market interest rates.

 

Changes in market interest rates could have an adverse effect on the credit quality of our assets and our asset structure. For example, with respect to floating-rate loan assets, if market interest rates increase, the repayment burdens of our customers may also increase, which could adversely affect the financial condition of such customers and their ability to repay their obligations to us. Alternatively, a decline in interest rates could result in increased prepayments of loans and a decrease in our assets.

 

Though we enter into derivative investments to hedge our market interest and currency risks, we may not be able to perfectly hedge against all risks arising from our business operations in foreign currencies and overseas investments. As a result, a significant change in interest rates or currency exchange rates could have an adverse impact on our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

7


Table of Contents

(2) Our use of derivatives may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

We may use derivative instruments to reduce fluctuations in the value of our investments and to hedge against interest rate and currency risks. However, it is possible that this risk management strategy may not be fully effective in all circumstances due to our failure to appraise the value of assets being hedged or execute such derivative instruments properly or at all, or our failure to achieve the intended results of such hedging due to the unavailability of offsetting or roll-over transactions in the event of sudden turbulence in the market or otherwise. Furthermore, our derivatives counterparties could fail to honor the terms of their contracts with us. Our existing derivative contracts and new derivative transactions may also be adversely affected in case our credit ratings are downgraded.

 

In such instances, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

(3) Fluctuations in market prices of stocks and bonds may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

We hold investments in shares of private and public company stock, including shares of our equity method affiliates, and corporate and government bonds in Japan and overseas. The market values of our investment assets are volatile and may fluctuate substantially in the future. A significant decline in the value of our investment assets could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

5. Liquidity Risk (Risk Relating to Fund Procurement)

 

Our access to liquidity and capital may be restricted by economic conditions, instability in the financial markets or changes in our credit ratings

 

Our primary sources of financing include: borrowings from banks and other institutional lenders, funding from capital markets (such as through issuances of bonds, medium-term notes or commercial paper (“CP”) and securitization of leases, loans receivables and other assets) and deposits. Such sources include a significant amount of short-term debt, such as CP and other short-term borrowings from various institutional lenders, and the portion of our long-term debt maturing in the current fiscal year. Some of our committed credit lines require us to comply with financial covenants.

 

Adverse economic conditions or financial market instability, among other things, may adversely affect our ability to raise new funds or to renew existing funding sources, and may subject us to increased funding costs or credit market volatility. If our access to liquidity is restricted, or if we are unable to obtain our required funding at acceptable costs, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be significantly and adversely affected.

 

We obtain credit ratings from ratings agencies. Downgrades of our credit ratings could result in increases in our interest expenses and could have an adverse effect on our fund-raising ability by increasing costs of issuing CP and corporate debt securities, increasing our bank borrowing costs, reducing the amount of bank credit available to us or decreasing the attractiveness of our equity securities to investors. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be significantly and adversely affected.

 

6. Compliance Risk

 

A failure to maintain adequate controls to comply with regulations may harm our reputation and adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Our efforts to implement and maintain thorough internal controls for compliance and legal risk management, as well as compliance education programs for our staff, and to prevent violations of applicable

 

8


Table of Contents

laws, regulations and our internal rules may not be fully effective in preventing all violations. In addition, we engage in a wide range of businesses, and our expansion into new businesses through acquisitions may cause our current internal controls to cease to function adequately. If we are unable to implement and maintain robust internal controls to prevent any such violations, we may be subject to sanctions or penalties, which could apply to our officers or employees. Such events could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. In such cases, the ORIX Group, or our executives and employees, may be subject to sanctions and penalties, which could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

 

7. Legal Risk

 

(1) We are subject to various laws and regulations in Japan and overseas which may restrict our business activities, subject us to legal liability or otherwise put us at a disadvantage

 

Our business and employees in Japan are subject to laws, as well as regulatory oversight by government authorities who implement those laws, relating to the various sectors in which we operate. These include laws and regulations applicable to specific industries, such as the Moneylending Business Act, the Installment Sales Act, the Insurance Business Act, the Banking Act, the Trust Business Act, the Building Lots and Buildings Transaction Business Act and the Building Standards Act, as well as laws applicable to our business activities, such as the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade and the Act on the Protection of Personal Information.

 

Our businesses outside of Japan are also subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate and are subject to oversight by the regulatory authorities of those jurisdictions. For example, in addition to being subject to U.S. securities laws, we are also subject to the USA Patriot Act, which prohibits us from entering into any transactions with countries listed as state sponsors of terrorism, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits us from offering bribes to foreign public servants.

 

In addition, certain of our businesses are subject to industry-specific laws and regulations in Japan and overseas, including requirements to obtain appropriate licenses and permits to operate. A total or partial suspension of operations, whether due to an actual or alleged violation of applicable law or regulation, failure to obtain or maintain necessary licenses or permits or otherwise, may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Regardless of whether we have violated any laws, if we become the subject of a governmental investigation, litigation or other proceeding in connection with our businesses, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(2) Enactment of, or changes in, laws, regulations and accounting standards may affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Enactment of, or changes in, laws and regulations may adversely affect the way that we conduct our business and the products or services that we may offer, as well as our customers, borrowers, invested companies and funding sources. Such enactment or changes may increase our compliance costs. If accounting standards are changed, even if such changes do not directly affect our profitability or financial soundness, industries related to our businesses, our clients or the financial market may be negatively affected. As a result of such enactments or changes, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

8. Information Asset Risk

 

(1) Risks relating to loss, alteration, falsification or leakage of information

 

We maintain various information assets such as customer information including information on individuals, accounting information and personnel information. We have implemented internal rules and training programs to

 

9


Table of Contents

properly manage such information assets. However, in spite of such efforts, our measures may not be always effective and it is possible that our information assets may be lost, damaged or leaked.

 

In such event, we may be penalized for violating applicable laws and regulations and may be sued for damages. In addition, our operations, financial standing and performance may be adversely affected due to, but not limited to, loss of customer and market confidence in us and deterioration of our reputation.

 

(2) Failures in our computer and other information systems could interfere with our operations and damage our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

We use information systems for financial transactions, personal information management, business monitoring and processing and as part of our business decision-making and risk management activities. Some of these information systems may be outsourced.

 

System shutdowns, malfunctions or failures, the mishandling of data or fraudulent acts by employees, vendors or other third parties, or attack by a computer virus, could have adverse effects on our operations, by causing, for example, delays in the receipt and payment of funds, the leakage, loss or destruction of confidential or personal information of our customers or employees, the generation of errors in information used by our management for business decision-making and risk management evaluation and planning, or the suspension of certain products or services we provide to our customers. In such event, our liquidity or the liquidity of customers who rely on us for financing or payment could be adversely affected.

 

Our information system equipment could suffer damage from a large-scale natural disaster or from terrorism, such as hacking or other unauthorized access. If networks or information systems fail, we could experience interruption of business activity, delay in the receipt and payment of funds, or substantial costs for recovery of functionality. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

9. Operational Risk

 

(1) We may not be able to hire or retain qualified personnel

 

Our businesses require a considerable investment in human resources and the retention of qualified personnel in order to successfully compete in markets in Japan and overseas. If we cannot develop, hire or retain the necessary qualified personnel, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(2) If our internal control over financial reporting is insufficient, our share price, reputation and business activities may be adversely affected

 

We have established and assessed our internal control over financial reporting in a manner intended to ensure compliance with the requirements of various laws and regulations. However, in future periods we or our independent registered public accounting firm may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and such finding may cause us and our accountants to disclose that our internal control over financial reporting are ineffective, which could cause a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and cause our share price to fall. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(3) Our risk management may not be effective

 

We continuously seek to improve our risk management function. However, due to the rapid expansion of our business or significant changes in the business environment, our risk management may not be effective. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

10


Table of Contents

(4) Other operational risks

 

Our business entails many types of operational risks. Examples include inappropriate sales practices; inadequate handling of client and customer complaints; inadequate internal communication of necessary information; misconduct of officers, employees, agents, franchisees, trading associates, vendors or other third parties; errors in the settlement of accounts and conflicts with employees concerning labor and workplace management.

 

When we offer new products or services, we must ensure that we have the capacity to properly undertake and perform such operations. If we are unable to do so successfully, we may lose the confidence of the market and our customers which may cause us to suffer decreased profitability or force us to withdraw from such operations.

 

Our management attempts to control operational risk and maintain it at a level that we believe is appropriate. However, operational risk is part of the business environment in which we operate, and despite our control measures, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected at any time due to this risk.

 

10. Risks Related to Holding or Trading our Shares and ADRs

 

(1) Rights of shareholders under Japanese law may be different from those under the laws of other jurisdictions

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, the regulations of our board of directors and the Companies Act govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles relating to matters such as the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duties and shareholders’ rights are different from those that would apply if we were incorporated elsewhere. Shareholders’ rights under Japanese law are different in some respects from shareholders’ rights under the laws of jurisdictions within the United States and other countries. You may have more difficulty in asserting your rights as a shareholder than you would as a shareholder of a corporation organized in a jurisdiction outside Japan. For a detailed discussion of the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and our Articles of Incorporation, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation.”

 

(2) It may not be possible for investors to affect service of process within the United States upon ORIX or ORIX’s directors or executive officers, or to enforce against ORIX or those persons judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States

 

ORIX is a joint stock corporation formed in Japan. Most or all of ORIX’s directors and executive officers are residents of countries other than the United States. Although some of ORIX’s subsidiaries have substantial assets in the United States, substantially all of ORIX’s assets and the assets of ORIX’s directors and executive officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to affect service of process within the United States upon ORIX or ORIX’s directors and executive officers or to enforce against ORIX or those persons, in U.S. courts, judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws. ORIX has been advised by its Japanese counsel that there is doubt, in original actions or in actions to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, as to the enforceability in Japan of civil liabilities based solely on U.S. securities laws. A Japanese court may refuse to allow an original action based on U.S. securities laws.

 

The United States and Japan do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitration awards, in civil or commercial matters. Therefore, if you obtain a civil judgment by a U.S. court, you will not necessarily be able to enforce such judgment directly in Japan.

 

11


Table of Contents

(3) We may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors

 

We believe that we may have been a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the year to which this report relates because of the composition of our assets and the nature of our income. In addition, we may be a PFIC in the foreseeable future. Assuming this is the case, U.S. investors in our Shares or ADSs will be subject to special rules of taxation in respect of certain dividends or gains on such Shares or ADSs, including the treatment of gains realized on the disposition of, and certain dividends received on, the Shares or ADSs as ordinary income earned pro rata over a U.S. investor’s holding period for such Shares or ADSs, taxed at the maximum rate applicable during the years in which such income is treated as earned, with the resulting tax liability subject to interest charges for a deemed deferral benefit. In addition, in the case of any dividends that are not subject to the foregoing rule, the favorable rates of tax applicable to certain dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. investors would not be available. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Taxation.” Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the income tax consequences of investing in our Shares or ADSs.

 

(4) If you hold fewer than 100 Shares, you will not have all the rights of shareholders with 100 or more Shares

 

One “unit” of our Shares is comprised of one hundred Shares. Each unit of the Shares has one vote. A holder who owns Shares other than in multiples of one hundred will own less than a whole unit (i.e., for the portion constituting of fewer than one hundred Shares.) The Companies Act imposes significant restrictions on the rights of holders of shares constituting less than a whole unit, which include restrictions on the right to vote. Under the unit share system, a holder of Shares constituting less than a unit has the right to require ORIX to purchase its Shares and the right to require ORIX to sell it additional Shares to create a whole unit. However, a holder of ADRs is not permitted to withdraw underlying Shares representing less than one unit, which is equivalent to 20 ADSs, and, as a practical matter, is unable to require ORIX to purchase those underlying Shares. The unit share system, however, does not affect the transferability of ADSs, which may be transferred in lots of any number of whole ADSs.

 

(5) Foreign exchange fluctuations may affect the value of our securities and dividends

 

Market prices for our ADSs may decline if the value of the yen declines against the dollar. In addition, the dollar amount of cash dividends or other cash payments made to holders of ADSs will decline if the value of the yen declines against the dollar.

 

(6) A holder of ADRs has fewer rights than a shareholder and must act through the depositary to exercise those rights

 

The rights of shareholders under Japanese law to take various actions, including voting shares, receiving dividends and distributions, bringing derivative actions, examining a company’s accounting books and records and exercising dissenters’ rights, are available only to holders of record on a company’s register of shareholders. The Shares represented by our ADSs are registered in the name of a nominee of the depositary, through its custodian agent. Only the depositary is able to exercise those rights in connection with the deposited Shares. The depositary will make efforts to vote the Shares represented by our ADSs as instructed by the holders of the ADRs representing such ADSs and will pay to those holders the dividends and distributions collected from us. However, a holder of ADRs will not be able to directly bring a derivative action, examine our accounting books and exercise dissenters’ rights through the depositary unless the depositary specifically undertakes to exercise those rights and is indemnified to its satisfaction by the holder for doing so.

Item 4. Information on the Company

 

GENERAL

 

ORIX is a joint stock corporation (kabushiki kaisha) formed under Japanese law. Our principal place of business is at World Trade Center Building, 2-4-1 Hamamatsu-cho, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-6135, Japan, and our phone number is: +81 3 3435 3000. Our general contact URL is https://ssl.orix-form.jp/ir/inquiry_e/ and our corporate website URL is: http://www.orix.co.jp/grp/en. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report. ORIX USA Corporation (“ORIX USA”) is ORIX’s agent in the United States, and its principal place of business is at 1717 Main Street, Suite 1100, Dallas, Texas 75201, USA.

 

CORPORATE HISTORY

 

ORIX was established in April, 1964 in Osaka, Japan as Orient Leasing Co., Ltd. by three trading companies and five banks that included Nichimen Corporation, Nissho Corporation and Iwai Corporation (presently Sojitz Corporation), the Sanwa Bank (presently The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), Toyo Trust & Banking (presently Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation), the Industrial Bank of Japan and Nippon Kangyo Bank (presently Mizuho Bank, Ltd.), and the Bank of Kobe (presently Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation).

 

Our initial development occurred during the period of sustained economic growth in Japan during the 1960s and the early 1970s. We capitalized on the growing demand in this period by expanding our portfolio of leasing assets.

 

During this time, our marketing strategy shifted from a focus on using the established networks of the trading companies and other initial shareholders to one that concentrated on independent marketing as the number of our branches expanded. In April 1970, we listed our Shares on the second section of the Osaka Securities Exchange. Since February 1973, our Shares have been listed on the first sections of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange (which was integrated into Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2013). ORIX was also listed on the first section of the Nagoya Stock Exchange from February 1973 to October 2004.

 

ORIX set up a number of specialized leasing companies to tap new market potential, starting with the establishment of Orient Auto Leasing Corporation (presently ORIX Auto Corporation) in 1973 and Orient Instrument Rentals Corporation (presently ORIX Rentec Corporation), Japan’s first electric measuring equipment rental company, in 1976. With the establishment of the credit company Family Consumer Credit Corporation (presently ORIX Credit Corporation, concentrating on card loans) in 1979, ORIX began to move into the retail market by offering financing services to individuals.

 

It was also during this time that ORIX began expanding overseas, commencing with the establishment of its first overseas office in Hong Kong in 1971, followed by Singapore (1972), Malaysia (1973), Indonesia (1975), the Philippines (1977) and Thailand (1978).

 

In the 1980s and early 1990s, ORIX established offices in Sri Lanka (1980), the United States (1981), Australia (1986), Pakistan (1986) and Taiwan (1991). The Japanese company Budget Rent-a-Car (presently ORIX Auto Corporation) was also established in 1985.

 

In 1989, we introduced a corporate identity program and changed our name to ORIX Corporation from Orient Leasing Co., Ltd. to reflect our increasingly international profile and diversification into financial services other than leasing.

 

In 1991, ORIX established ORIX Aviation Systems Limited in Ireland. In the same year, ORIX established ORIX Omaha Life Insurance Corporation (presently ORIX Life Insurance Corporation) and entered the life

Table of Contents

insurance business. In 1998, ORIX purchased Yamaichi Trust & Bank, Ltd. (presently ORIX Bank Corporation). In 1998, ORIX listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker Symbol: IX) and, through registration with the SEC, has worked to further strengthen its corporate governance regulations. ORIX Real Estate Corporation was established in 1999 to concentrate on condominium development that was first begun in 1993 as well as develop office buildings in pursuit of improved real estate expertise. In 1999, we established ORIX Asset Management and Loan Services Corporation.

 

Since 2000, we have actively expanded our automobile-related operations by acquiring companies and assets. We combined seven automobile-related companies into ORIX Auto Corporation in 2005.

 

We have also continued our overseas expansion. In China, we established a rental company in Tianjin in 2004 and in 2005 established a leasing company in Shanghai. In 2009, we established a Chinese Headquarters in Dalian. We also set up local subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia (2001), and the United Arab Emirates (2002).

 

In 2006, we entered the investment banking field in the United States with the acquisition of Houlihan Lokey, Inc. (“Houlihan Lokey”) (whose shares we partially sold through our wholly-owned subsidiary ORIX USA in August 2015). In 2010, we acquired RED Capital Group, a U.S.-based company that provides financing for multi-family, senior living and healthcare-related real estate development projects in the United States. In 2010, we also acquired Mariner Investment Group LLC, a leading independent SEC-registered hedge fund manager.

 

We managed ORIX Credit Corporation (“ORIX Credit”) over a continuous three-year period jointly with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation pursuant to an alliance established in July 2009. In June 2012, ORIX purchased all the shares of ORIX Credit, making ORIX Credit a wholly-owned subsidiary of ORIX.

 

In July 2013, ORIX acquired Robeco Groep N.V. (“Robeco”), a global asset management company based in the Netherlands, to pursue a new business model by combining finance with related services.

STRATEGY

 

Operating Environment

 

The economy of the United States has been on a continuing trend of recovery with improvements in employment and income environments. The economy of Europe has picked up moderately, the Chinese economy is still in a correction phase and the economies of emerging and resource-rich countries have bottomed out. Although interest rates remain low worldwide, the prospect of rising interest rates has been strong in the United States. In addition, there are political and geopolitical tensions in certain regions that need to be monitored carefully.

 

The Japanese economy on the whole has been in a moderate recovery phase despite some areas of weakness.

Medium- Term Management Targets

 

ORIX Group continues to provide innovative and flexible solutions to address changes in the market environment and customer needs. ORIX Group’s diversified business portfolio consists of six business segments: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail, and Overseas Business. These business segments are closely integrated with each other to create greater value through sharing know-how and expertise.

 

ORIX Group, using its diversified business portfolio as a basis, intends to capitalize on its business foundation, client base, industry know-how and accumulated expertise, to continuously improve profitability by providing high value-added services to the market. Furthermore, under our mid-term strategy of “Expansion in Non-Finance Business,” ORIX Group aims to achieve sustainable profit growth.

 

Our strategy of “Expansion in Non-Finance Business” consists of “Organic growth” and “New investment in key areas.” With these principles, we will pursue new business arising from the changing business environment.

 

“Organic growth”: Deepen our strengths and expertise to further expand our existing operations both in Japan and abroad. Those in Japan include fee business, automobile-related business, facility operation business, and life insurance business. Those abroad include automobile-related business, and further diversification towards non-finance business.

Development of business structure toward the realization of management strategies

 

It is vital for ORIX Group to continue to maintain and develop a business structure that can be flexibly and swiftly adapted to the changing business environment. ORIX will take the following three steps in order to achieve the aforementioned Medium-Term Management Targets.

 

Further advancement of risk management: Recognizing that business expansion and growth has diversified and globalized our risk, support our growth by strengthening the business foundation by readily and continuously utilizing our risk management structure and our ability to assess risks.

 

Pursue transactions that are both socially responsible and economically viable: Pursue transactions that are socially responsible from a social and environmental standpoint while providing products and services that are valued by clients and improve ORIX Group’s overall profitability.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

These six business segments are: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail and Overseas Business.

Table of Contents

An overview of operations, operating environment and operating strategy for each of the six segments follows.

 

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

Overview of Operation

 

Operating through a nationwide network, ORIX provides leasing and loans and engages in various other fee businesses by providing products and services aligned with customer needs to its core customer base of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”). The Corporate Financial Services segment functions as the central point of contact for the entire ORIX Group by gathering information on customers and products/services and responding to customer needs, including in connection with business succession and overseas expansion.

 

This segment has its origin in the leasing business developed at the time of ORIX’s establishment in 1964. Even today, this segment serves as the foundation for the entire ORIX Group’s sales activities.

 

This segment promotes consolidated management by collaborating with other business segments and Group companies, both domestic and foreign. In this way, this segment creates cross-functional tie ups with Group customers in order to swiftly provide wide-ranging services backed by expertise.

 

Operating Environment

 

See “Item 5. Segment Information.”

 

Mid-term Strategic Directions

 

   

Diversify the source of services income

 

   

Maximize synergy potential with Yayoi Co. Ltd.

 

   

Utilize domestic network to target growth areas

 

Operating Strategy

 

Through various transactions, sales personnel in the Corporate Financial Services segment deepen their understanding of the segment’s customers, including their specific needs and management issues. With this segment constituting ORIX’s sales platform, sales personnel develop and deliver optimum solutions to customers by leveraging the high-level expertise of the Group’s business segments to expand the Group’s business opportunities. We seek to enhance the profitability of the Group as a whole by expanding the customer base through stronger cooperation with Group companies. Moreover, we seek to increase revenues from fee business by providing products and services aligned with customer needs.

 

The launch of the solar panel business has enabled the Corporate Financial Services segment to generate new customer relationships. This segment endeavors to expand transactions with customers who actually purchased solar panels and with potential customers to whom solar panels are marketed by offering solutions to management issues that lead to sales of the Group’s products and services. The segment will also focus on aquiring fee business such as Life insurance and Corporate pension consulting service. Moreover, the segment will continue to promote consolidated management by sharing business targets with other business segments and Group companies, both domestic and foreign, particularly ORIX Auto Corporation, and ORIX Rentec Corporation. By promoting consolidated management, we seek to strengthen customer relations so that the customers of our Group companies, including the customers of ORIX Auto Corporation, will also become customers for other products and services offered by other Group companies.

 

This segment seeks to develop new businesses and services to expand the Group’s customer base and build a more stable revenue base.

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

Overview of Operation

 

The Maintenance Leasing segment consists of ORIX’s automobile and rental operations, both of which possess a high level of expertise.

 

In its automobile leasing business, ORIX engages in leasing, automobile rental and car sharing businesses. Automobile leasing operations began by offering leases including maintenance to corporate clients. Today, the segment’s services include a complete range of vehicle maintenance outsourcing services requiring high-level expertise that encompasses solutions that meet clients’ compliance, environmental and safety management needs. This segment also offers a broad spectrum of tailor-made services that address both corporate and individual client needs.

 

Having initially specialized in precision measuring equipment rentals for corporate customers, the rental business has greatly expanded the range of offered products and currently includes IT-related equipment and medical equipment, environmental analysis equipment as well as tablet computers. The rental business also offers a diverse range of services such as technical support, sales of software packages, equipment calibration and asset management.

 

Operating Environment

 

See “Item 5. Segment Information.”

 

Mid-term Strategic Directions

 

   

Further expansion of the business while maintaining high profitability

 

   

Capitalize on competitive advantage to increase market shares

 

   

Deepen expertise and develop solution business

 

Operating Strategy

 

The automobile business aims to increase its leased assets to reinforce and expand its customer base. In Japan, while the leasing rate of vehicle fleets for enterprises that own more than 30 vehicles is relatively high, it is very low for enterprises and individuals that own 30 vehicles or fewer. Instead, these smaller enterprises and individuals account for a large proportion of the vehicles owned in Japan. Therefore, the automobile business will strive to increase the proportion of the customer base consisting of smaller enterprises and individuals while continuing to grow the large-enterprise customer base. Moreover, we will strive to reinforce relationships with customers through cross-functional marketing activities with corporate sales departments in Japan that cut across the Group.

 

The automobile business is strengthening the provision of high value-added services. Seeking to ensure a stable revenue stream and differentiate itself from competitors, the automobile business leverages its consulting capabilities to select and offer optimum services to customers, including from a wide range of vehicle management services. While continually reviewing the line-up of products and services in response to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs, the automobile business develops new products and services to create new market segments. In addition, to promote the retail business, we will propose a wide range of approaches to car use, such as car rental and car sharing, to meet individual customer’s diverse needs and provide elaborate services.

 

In the equipment rental business, while working to maintain our high market share, we intend to expand and strengthen our revenue base by increasing the number of new customers by focusing on growth areas, increasing

 

18


Table of Contents

rental of high margin products and introducing new rental items. We will also expand our customer base and range of products in the fields of environment and energy, environmental analysis, electronic components and next-generation automobile development and promote medical equipment rentals that require a high level of expertise and other high value-added rentals by providing applications and cloud services designed to meet the needs of customers renting tablet computers. We will seek tie-ups with manufacturers and system companies in order to expand our products and services.

 

All of our businesses in the Maintenance Leasing segment will seek to continue strengthening business management and cost control to maintain their high profitability and competitiveness.

 

Real Estate Segment

 

Overview of Operation

 

The Real Estate segment is mainly comprised of the real estate development and rental, facility operation, REIT asset management, and real estate investment advisory services.

 

In the real estate development and rental business, ORIX Group is involved not only in developing and leasing properties such as office buildings, commercial properties, logistics centers and residences but also in asset management, where ORIX Group has a high level of expertise.

 

The facilities operations business handles accommodations, aquariums, golf courses, training facilities, senior housings, baseball stadiums, and theaters.

 

Operating Environment

 

See “Item 5. Segment Information.”

 

Mid-term Strategic Directions

 

   

Continue to shift business model towards one with higher stability and profitability

 

   

Strengthen value added services in operation business

 

   

Expansion of asset management business

 

Operating Strategy

 

In the real estate development business, we will promote the development of complex facilities not only in major urban areas but also in areas abundant in tourism resources.

 

In the real estate rental business, we will enhance our portfolio by selling properties at appropriate times and by promoting new investments in properties continuously.

 

Additionally, we will make the most of our customer base and expertise through such as the real estate development and operating and as that asset management, to expand our fee business.

 

In the facilities operation business, we will selectively invest in accommodations. In operating our existing facilities, we believe ORIX can add value through providing attractive accommodations that our customers are satisfied with and want to revisit.

 

Through these measures, we will enable this business to generate high and stable revenue levels.

Investment and Operation Segment

 

Overview of Operation

 

In the Investment and Operation business segment, ORIX is engaged in three core business activities: environment and energy business, principal investments and concession.

 

For more than ten years, ORIX has been actively involved in the environment and energy business through the collection and disposal of waste generated from end-of-lease assets. In addition to waste processing, recycling and energy-saving services our environment and energy business includes renewable energy such as mega-solar and electric power retailing. Overseas, we have invested in projects including a wind power generation business in India and in the large private hydropower company in Vietnam to further strengthen the energy business in Asia.

 

The principal investment business invests in private equity both in Japan and overseas and capitalizes on the expertise and collective strength of the Group to increase the corporate value of investees.

 

On April 1, 2016, Kansai Airports, established by a consortium anchored by ORIX and VINCI Airports, a French company, commenced operation of the Kansai and Osaka International Airport as a concession. Balancing the ingenuity, dynamism, and the social responsibilities for managing public infrastructure as the first private company in our country, Kansai Airports will contribute to the ongoing development.

 

Operating Environment

 

See “Item 5. Segment Information.”

 

Mid-term Strategic Directions

 

   

Push the environment and energy business forward to the next stage; deepen in domestic and expand in overseas business

 

   

Investment in new business fields

 

   

Aim for an advantageous position as a concessionaire

 

Operating Strategy

 

In our environment and energy business, we will increase investment in renewable energy. In Japan, we will focus on the development of energy sources other than solar power, such as wind power, geothermal power and biomass, and will work together with our domestic sales and marketing divisions to become one of Japan’s leading renewable energy power companies. We also seek to expand the business of the deregulation of the electricity retail market. As for overseas, we will also use the experience and expertise cultivated in Japan to strengthen its electric power generation and renewable energy business in emerging countries, in which energy demand is expected to the expanded.

 

In the principal investment business, we will leverage our track record to carefully select and actively invest in foreign and domestic business operations. After investing, we will provide hands-on support backed by specialists, use our business platform of the Group to develop a base of customers and business partners and implement other measures to improve the corporate value of investees in a manner unique to ORIX. We will seek opportunistic investments without limiting the industries we invest in. In Japan, we emphasize domestic investment in medical-related fields, IT services and the food industry.

 

As for concession business, we will push forward examination about not only the airport operation but also the public infrastructure such as roads, water and sewerage services.

Retail Segment

 

Overview of Operation

 

The Retail business segment consists of life insurance business, banking business and card loan business.

 

ORIX Life Insurance was founded in 1991 and operates mainly through agencies and mail order sales. On July 1, 2014, ORIX Life Insurance acquired HLIKK, and the two companies merged on July 1, 2015. Regarding the banking business, ORIX Bank Corporation (“ORIX Bank”) inherited the housing loan business ORIX began handling in 1980 and is now involved in corporate lending and other services. ORIX Bank began card loan operations in March 2012.

 

Operating Environment

 

See “Item 5. Segment Information.”

 

Mid-term Strategic Directions

 

   

Grow from mid-size insurer to a major insurer

 

   

Develop new business fields of ORIX Bank

 

Operating Strategy

 

In this segment, as an overall strategy, we will continue to provide products with a high level of customer satisfaction and seek to develop a new market aimed at individual customers while continuing to enhance our efficiency and unique expertise in niche markets.

 

ORIX Life Insurance will continue to enhance its product lineup with new insurance products developed to meet customer needs. In addition to third-sector insurance such as cancer and medical treatment insurance, the company will focus on first-sector insurance such as life insurance and increasing the number of contracts. Regarding sales channels, while supporting continuous growth in the existing agency channel, we intend to expand our direct distribution channels. We will also seek to improve our financial strength by improving overall business efficiency.

 

ORIX Bank will keep operating and raising funds efficiently with high loan-deposit-ratio in order to meet active demand for money. In the housing-loan business, the company will increase its loan balance by making full use of its networks and know-how accumulated over many years. ORIX Bank will also enter new business fields such as the investment trust business.

 

The card loan business plans to expand in two ways to acquire potential demand in the shrinking market. The first is to increase card loan balance through the collaboration of ORIX Bank and ORIX Credit by taking advantage of their human and knowledge resources. The second is to expand card loan guarantee to other financial institutions by utilizing ORIX Credit’s know-how of credit screening.

 

Overseas Business Segment

 

Overview of Operation

 

In the Overseas Business segment, mainly in the United States, asset management is at the heart of efforts to expand non-finance business and boasts a high level of expertise in the fields of corporate finance, securities investment, principal investment, loan origination and servicing and also fund management.

 

Since first expanding into Hong Kong in 1971, ORIX Group has established an overseas network spanning 700 bases in 36 countries and regions. Underpinned by a leasing, automobile leasing and corporate finance

Aggressively develop aircraft and shipping business

 

Operating Strategy

 

In the United States, in addition to maintaining a stable presence in our traditional business of investing in municipal bonds, CMBS and other fixed-income securities and providing corporate finance services, we seek to enhance Red Capital Group’s loan structuring and servicing services and Mariner Investment Group’s fund management services. Since the acquisition of Boston Financial Investment Management LP, which develops businesses as a syndicator and portfolio and asset manager of low income apartment properties that benefit from the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Creditair in July 2016, we continue to expand fee businesses. In addition, we endeavor to invest in the field of infrastructure and healthcare and, to use our local subsidiary in Brazil as base, to expand into fields such as asset management, structured finance and investment banking through M&A and capital participation in South America.

 

In Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Europe, while seeking to maintain stable profits from the financial services business platform of our existing local subsidiaries, which offer locally based lending and leasing, we plan to diversify our business into related fields. We will promote new investment activities in as-yet unexplored areas.

 

In the aircraft business, we will make new investments by carefully selecting aircraft types, age and other important factors for our portfolio. In addition to pursuing opportunities to profit from Company-owned assets, we will seek to generate fees from our services relating to the management of the aircraft to investors and financial institutions.

 

In addition to the sustained growth of Robeco, we will endeavor to expand the asset management business and also consider new investments.

BUSINESS REGULATION

 

ORIX and its group companies in Japan are incorporated under, and our corporate activities are governed by, the Companies Act. However, ORIX and its group companies are involved in diverse businesses in overseas jurisdictions, including in Asia, North America, the Middle East and Europe, and are therefore subject to various regulations and supervision in each jurisdiction in which they operate, including, but not limited to, regulations relating to business and investment approvals, antitrust, anti-bribery, consumer and business taxation, foreign exchange controls, intellectual property and personal information protection.

 

The next section describes the laws and regulations of our business in Japan and the United States and Europe, our major areas of operation outside Japan.

 

JAPAN

 

There is no general regulatory regime which governs the conduct of our direct financing lease and operating lease businesses in Japan, although various laws regulate certain aspects of particular lease transactions, depending on the type of leased property.

 

The major regulations that govern our businesses are as follows:

 

Moneylending Business

 

ORIX and certain of our group companies are engaged in the moneylending business in Japan. The moneylending business is regulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act, the Act Regulating the Receipt of Contributions, the Receipt of Deposits and Interest Rates and the Moneylending Business Act. The Moneylending Business Act requires that all companies engaged in moneylending business register with the Prime Minister and the relevant prefectural governors. Registered moneylenders are regulated by the Financial Services Agency (“FSA”), and are required to report to or notify the FSA, providing specified documents such as their annual

 

24


Table of Contents

business reports. Accordingly, pursuant to the Moneylending Business Act, ORIX and certain of our group companies have registered with the Prime Minister and various prefectural governors and provide the necessary reporting and notification to the FSA. The FSA has the power to issue business improvement orders to suspend all or part of a money lender’s activities, or to revoke the registration of a moneylender that has violated the law.

 

Real Estate Business

 

ORIX and certain of our group companies, including ORIX Real Estate Corporation and DAIKYO, are engaged in the real estate business in Japan, including buying and selling land and buildings. Companies engaged in such operations are required to be licensed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (“MoLIT”) and relevant prefectural governors under the Building Lots and Buildings Transaction Business Act, and their operations are regulated by such laws, including the maintenance of registered real estate transaction managers on staff and the provision and delivery of material information to counterparties. DAIKYO has a Construction Business License from MoLIT. Inns and hotels operated by ORIX Group have licenses from relevant prefectural governors under the Inns and Hotels Act, etc.

 

Car Rental Business

 

ORIX Auto Corporation (“OAC”) is registered with MoLIT under the Road Transportation Law to engage in the car rental business in Japan and is subject to the requirements of this law and is licensed by the Minister of MoLIT.

 

Insurance Business

 

ORIX Life Insurance is engaged in the life insurance business and has a license from the Prime Minister under the Insurance Business Act. The FSA has broad regulatory powers over the life insurance business of ORIX Life Insurance, including the authority to grant or, under certain conditions, revoke its operating license, to request information regarding its business or financial condition and to conduct on-site inspections. ORIX Life Insurance generally must also receive FSA approval for the sale of new products and to set new pricing terms. In addition, under the Insurance Business Act regulations, any party attempting to acquire voting rights in an insurance company at or above a specified threshold must receive approval from the Prime Minister. We have received such approval as a major shareholder of ORIX Life Insurance. Insurance solicitation, which we and our group companies conduct, is also governed by the Insurance Business Act. We and certain of our group companies, such as OAC, are registered as insurance agents with the Prime Minister.

 

Financial Instruments Exchange Business

 

Certain businesses conducted by ORIX and our group companies in Japan are governed by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the main purpose of which is to establish comprehensive and cross-sectional protection for investors. “The financial instruments business” as defined in the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act has four classifications, depending on the type of business: (1) First Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business, (2) Second Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business, (3) Investment Management Business, and (4) Investment Advisory and Agency Business. All companies engaged in such businesses are required to register with the Prime Minister, after which they designated “registered financial instruments traders.” Along with registered financial instruments traders, companies engaged in the financial instruments intermediary business, which is also governed by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, are regulated by the FSA and are required to file certain reports or notifications with the FSA.

Market Environment

 

The economy of the United States has been on a continuing trend of recovery with improvements in employment and income environments. The economy of Europe has picked up moderately, the Chinese economy is still in a correction phase and the economies of emerging and resource-rich countries have bottomed out. Although interest rates remain low worldwide, the prospect of rising interest rates has been strong in the United States. In addition, there are political and geopolitical tensions in certain regions that need to be monitored carefully.

 

The Japanese economy on the whole has been in a moderate recovery phase despite some areas of weakness.

 

Results Overview

 

Net Income Attributable to ORIX Corporation Shareholders for fiscal 2017 increased 5% to ¥273,239 million compared to fiscal 2016, primarily due to a significant increase in profits from the Real Estate segment, Investment and Operation segment, and Retail segment, although profits from the Corporate Financial Services segment, the Maintenance Leasing segment, the Overseas segment decreased.

 

The main factors underlying our performance in fiscal 2017 are outlined below.

 

The Corporate Financial Services segment’s profits decreased due to a decrease in finance revenues in line with decreased average investment balance and a decrease in gains on sales of securities, despite an increase in services income.

 

The Maintenance Leasing segment’s profits decreased due to decreases in operating leases revenues primarily resulting from lower gains on sales of automobiles.

 

The Real Estate segment’s profits increased due primarily to an increase in gains on sales of rental properties.

 

The Investment and Operation segment’s profits increased due to the recognition of gains on sales of shares of subsidiaries and affiliates, and a bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of a subsidiary.

 

The Retail segment’s profits increased due to increases in insurance premiums and related investment income.

 

The Overseas Business segment’s profits decreased due to the recognition of a gain on the partial divestment of Houlihan Lokey Inc. (hereinafter, “HL”) shares in fiscal 2016, and the impact from strong yen, despite gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates in the Americas.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. Note 1 of “Item 18. Financial Statements” includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements and the possibility that future events affecting the estimates may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We consider the accounting estimates discussed in this section to be critical for us for two reasons. First, the estimates require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. Second, different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the relevant period, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies and estimates.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, a number of significant judgments, assumptions and estimates may be required. If observable market prices are not available, we use internally-developed valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow methodologies, to measure fair value. These valuation techniques involve determination of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This determination involves significant judgment, and the use of different assumptions and/or valuation techniques could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Significant assumptions used in measuring fair values have a pervasive effect on various estimates, such as estimates of the allowance for real estate collateral-dependent loans, measurement of impairment of investments in securities, measurement of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, measurement of impairment of long-lived assets and recurring measurements of loans held for sale, investments in securities and derivative instruments.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries classify and prioritize inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into the following three levels:

 

   

Level 1—Inputs of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries differentiate between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (recurring) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (nonrecurring). We mainly measure loans held for sale, trading securities, available-for-sale securities, other securities, derivatives, reinsurance recoverables in other assets and variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts in policy liabilities and policy account balances at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain subsidiaries measure certain loans held for sale, certain foreign government bonds and equity securities in available-for-sale securities, certain fund investments in other securities, certain reinsurance recoverables, and variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts at fair value on a recurring basis as they elected the fair value option.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2017, the amount of financial assets classified as Level 3 was ¥179,666 million, financial assets that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets represent 2% of our total assets.

 

Available-for-sale securities classified as Level 3 are mainly CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities and debt securities. CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities and debt securities classified as Level 3 available-for-sale securities were ¥57,858 million and ¥63,953 million as of March 31, 2017, which are 46% and 51% of total Level 3 available-for-sale securities, respectively.

 

When evaluating the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan, we estimate the fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate based on market interest rates and a risk premium. The future cash flows for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan are estimated based on contractual principal and interest repayment schedules on each of the specified bonds issued by the SPEs. Since the discount rate is not observable for the specified bonds, we use an internally developed model to estimate a risk premium considering the value of the real estate collateral (which also involves unobservable inputs in many cases when using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies) and the seniority of the bonds. Under the model, we consider the loan-to-value ratio and other relevant available information to reflect both the credit risk and the liquidity risk in our own estimate of the risk premium. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the larger the risk premium we estimate under the model. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan rises when the fair value of the collateral real estate rises and the discount rate declines. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan declines when the fair value of the collateral real estate declines and the discount rate rises.

 

With respect to the CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities, we determined that due to the lack of observable trades for older vintage and below investment grade securities we continue to limit the reliance on independent pricing service vendors and brokers. As a result, we established internally developed pricing models (Level 3 inputs) using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies in order to estimate fair value of these securities and classified them as Level 3. Under the models, we use anticipated cash flows of the security discounted at a risk-adjusted discount rate that incorporates our estimate of credit risk and liquidity risk that a market participant would consider. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or default rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities.

 

In determining whether a market is active or inactive, we evaluate various factors such as the lack of recent transactions, price quotations that are not based on current information or vary substantially over time or among market makers, a significant increase in implied risk premium, a wide bid-ask spread, significant decline in new issuances, little or no public information (e.g., a principal-to-principal market) and other factors.

 

For more discussion, see Note 2 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES ON DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND

PROBABLE LOAN LOSSES

 

The allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The estimate made in determining the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses is a critical accounting estimate for all of our segments.

 

In developing the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses, we consider, among other things, the following factors:

 

   

business characteristics and financial condition of the obligors;

 

   

current economic conditions and trends;

 

33


Table of Contents
   

prior charge-off experience;

 

   

current delinquencies and delinquency trends; and

 

   

value of underlying collateral and guarantees.

 

We individually develop the allowance for credit losses for impaired loans. For non-impaired loans, including loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment, and direct financing leases, we evaluate prior charge-off experience, segmented by industry of the debtor and the purpose of the loans, and develop the allowance for credit losses based on such prior charge-off experiences as well as current economic conditions.

 

Impaired loans are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or, if the loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral securing the loan. For a non-recourse loan, in principle, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, as such loan is collateral-dependent. Further, for certain non-recourse loans, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows from each loan. The fair value of the real estate collateral securing the loans is determined using appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. We generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, we periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions that may materially affect its fair value. For impaired purchased loans, we develop the allowance for credit losses based on the difference between the book value and the estimated collectible amount of such loans.

 

We charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal based upon an evaluation of the relevant debtors’ creditworthiness and recoverability from the collateral.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES

 

We recognize impairment of investment in securities (except trading securities) as follows.

 

For available-for-sale securities, we generally recognize losses related to equity securities for which the fair value has been significantly below the acquisition cost (or current carrying value if an adjustment has been made in the past) for more than six months. Also, we charge against income losses related to equity securities in situations where, even though the fair value has not remained significantly below the carrying value for six months, the decline in the fair value of an equity security is based on the issuer’s specific economic conditions and not just general declines in the related market and where it is considered unlikely that the fair value of the equity security will recover within six months.

 

For debt securities, where the fair value is less than the amortized cost, we consider whether those securities are other-than-temporarily impaired using all available information about their collectability. We do not consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if (1) we do not intend to sell the debt security, (2) it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and (3) the present value of estimated cash flows will fully cover the amortized cost of the security. On the other hand, we consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if any of the above mentioned three conditions are not met. When we deem a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired, we recognize the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities in earnings if we intend to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. However, if we do not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, we separate the difference between the amortized cost

 

34


Table of Contents

and the fair value of the debt securities into the credit loss component and the non-credit loss component. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes.

 

In assessing whether available-for-sale debt securities are other-than-temporarily impaired, we consider all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including but not limited to the following factors:

 

   

duration and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis;

 

   

continuing analysis of the underlying collateral, age of the collateral, business climate, economic conditions and geographical considerations;

 

   

historical loss rates and past performance of similar assets;

 

   

trends in delinquencies and charge-offs;

 

   

payment structure and subordination levels of the debt security;

 

   

changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and

 

   

subsequent changes in the fair value of the security after the balance sheet date.

 

For other securities, when we determine the decline in value is other than temporary, we reduce the carrying value of the security to the fair value and charge against income losses related to these other securities in situations.

 

Determinations of whether a decline in value is other than temporary often involve estimating the outcome of future events that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made. Management’s judgment, mainly based on objective factors, is required in determining whether there are any fact that an impairment loss should be recognized at the balance sheet date. In view of the diversity and volume of our shareholdings, the highly volatile equity markets make it difficult to determine whether the declines are other than temporary.

 

If the financial condition of an investee deteriorates, its forecasted performance is not met or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, we may charge against income additional losses on investment in securities.

 

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of investment in securities could affect all segments.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS THAT HAVE INDEFINITE USEFUL LIVES

 

We perform an impairment test for goodwill and any intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives at least annually. Additionally, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, we test for impairment when such events or changes occur.

 

We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we do not perform the two-step impairment test. However, if we conclude otherwise, we proceed to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The first step of goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, calculates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit falls below its carrying amount, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares implied fair value of goodwill

with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner used to determine the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. We test the goodwill either at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segments. We perform the qualitative assessment for some goodwill but bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the two-step impairment test for other goodwill.

 

We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired, then we do not perform the quantitative impairment test. However, if we conclude otherwise, we calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We perform the qualitative assessment for some indefinite-lived intangible assets but bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment for other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

The fair value of a reporting unit under the first step and the second step is determined by estimating the outcome of future events and assumptions made by management. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are used in determining the fair value of any intangible asset that have indefinite useful lives. When necessary, we refer to an evaluation by a third party in determining the fair value of a reporting unit; however, such determinations are often made by using discounted cash flows analyses performed by us. This approach uses numerous estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows of a reporting unit, discount rates reflecting the inherent risk and growth rate. If actual cash flows or any items which affect a fair value are less favorable than those projected by management due to economic conditions or our own risk in the reporting unit, we may charge additional losses to income.

 

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of goodwill and any intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives could affect all segments.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

We periodically perform an impairment review for long-lived assets held and used in operations, including tangible assets, intangible assets being amortized and real estate development projects. The assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that those assets might be impaired, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

significant decline in the market value of an asset;

 

   

significant deterioration in the usage range and method, or physical condition, of an asset;

 

   

significant deterioration of legal regulatory or business environments, including an adverse action or assessment by a relevant regulator;

 

   

acquisition and construction costs substantially exceeding estimates;

 

   

continued operating loss or actual or potential loss of cash flows; or

 

   

potential loss on a planned sale.

 

When we determine that assets might be impaired based upon the existence of one or more of the above factors or other factors, we estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Our estimates of the future cash flows are based upon historical trends adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions. Our estimates also include the expected future periods in which future cash flows are expected. As a result of the recoverability test, when the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets is less than its carrying amount, and when its fair value is less than its carrying amount, we determine the amount of impairment based on the fair value of those assets.

 

36


Table of Contents

If the asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds fair value. We determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. If actual market and operating conditions under which assets are operated are less favorable than those projected by management, resulting in lower expected future cash flows or shorter expected future periods to generate such cash flows, additional impairment charges may be required. In addition, changes in estimates resulting in lower fair values due to unanticipated changes in business or operating assumptions could adversely affect the valuations of long-lived assets.

 

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of long-lived assets could affect all segments.

 

UNGUARANTEED RESIDUAL VALUE FOR DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND OPERATING LEASES

 

We estimate unguaranteed residual values of leased equipment except real estate, which is explained in “Impairment of Long-lived Assets” described above, when we calculate unearned lease income to be recognized as income over the lease term for direct financing leases and when we calculate depreciation amounts for operating leases that carry inherently higher obsolescence and resale risks. Our estimates are based upon current market values of used equipment and estimates of when and how much equipment will become obsolete, and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment. If actual demand for re-lease or actual market conditions of used equipment is less favorable than that projected by management, write-downs of unguaranteed residual value may be required.

 

The accounting estimates relating to unguaranteed residual value for direct financing leases and operating leases affect mainly the Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing and Overseas Business segments.

 

INSURANCE POLICY LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

 

A certain subsidiary writes life insurance policies to customers. Policy liabilities and policy account balances for future policy benefits are measured using the net level premium method, based on actuarial estimates of the amount of future policyholder benefits. The policies are characterized as long-duration policies and mainly consist of whole life, term life, endowments, medical insurance and individual annuity insurance contracts. For policies other than individual annuity insurance contracts, computation of policy liabilities necessarily includes assumptions about mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, future yields on related investments and other factors applicable at the time the policies are written. The subsidiary continually evaluates the potential for changes in the estimates and assumptions applied in determining policy liabilities, both positive and negative, and uses the results of these evaluations to adjust recorded liabilities as well as underwriting criteria and product offerings. If actual assumption data, such as mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, investment returns and other factors, do not properly reflect future policyholder benefits, we may establish a premium deficiency reserve.

 

A certain subsidiary elected the fair value option for the entire variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. The changes in fair value of the variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts are linked to the fair value of the investment in securities managed on behalf of variable annuity and variable life policyholders. Additionally, the subsidiary provides minimum guarantees to variable annuity and variable life policyholders under which it is exposed to the risk of compensating losses incurred by the policyholders to the extent contractually required. Therefore, the subsidiary adjusts the fair value of the underlying investments by incorporating changes in fair value of the minimum guarantee risk in the evaluation of the fair value of the entire variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. The fair value of the minimum guarantee risk is measured using discounted cash flow methodologies based on discount rates, mortality, lapse rates, annuitization rates and other factors.

 

Certain subsidiaries ceded a portion of its minimum guarantee risk related to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts to reinsurance companies in order to mitigate the risk and elected the fair value option for

 

37


Table of Contents

the reinsurance contracts with the remaining risk economically hedged through derivative contracts. The reinsurance contracts do not relieve the subsidiary from the obligation as the primary obligor to compensate certain losses incurred by the policyholders, and the default of the reinsurance companies may impose additional losses on the subsidiary.

 

Policy liabilities and policy account balances for fixed annuity insurance contracts are measured based on the single-premiums plus interest based on expected rate and fair value adjustments relating to the acquisition of a subsidiary, less withdrawals, expenses and other charges.

 

Certain costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, or deferred policy acquisition costs, are deferred and amortized over the respective policy periods in proportion to anticipated premium revenue. These deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of first-year commissions, except for recurring policy maintenance costs and certain variable costs and expenses for underwriting policies. Periodically, deferred policy acquisition costs are reviewed to determine whether relevant insurance and investment income are expected to recover the unamortized balance of the deferred acquisition costs. When such costs are expected to be unrecoverable, they are charged to income in that period. If the historical data, such as lapse rates, investment returns, mortality, morbidity, expense margins and surrender charges, which we use to calculate these assumptions, do not properly reflect future profitability, additional amortization may be required.

 

The accounting estimates relating to insurance policy liabilities and deferred policy acquisition costs affect the Retail segment.

 

ASSESSING HEDGE EFFECTIVENESS AND MEASURING INEFFECTIVENESS

 

We use foreign currency swap agreements, interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts for hedging purposes and apply fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or net investment hedge accounting to measure and account for subsequent changes in their fair value.

 

To qualify for hedge accounting, details of the hedging relationship are formally documented at the inception of the arrangement, including the risk management objective, hedging strategy, hedged item, specific risks that are to be hedged, the derivative instrument and how effectiveness is being assessed. Derivatives for hedging purposes must be highly effective in offsetting either changes in fair value or cash flows, as appropriate, for the risk being hedged and effectiveness needs to be assessed at the inception of the relationship.

 

Hedge effectiveness is assessed quarterly on a retrospective and prospective basis. Ineffectiveness is also measured quarterly, with the results recognized in earnings. If specified criteria for the assumption of effectiveness are not met at hedge inception or upon quarterly testing, then hedge accounting is discontinued. To assess effectiveness and measure ineffectiveness, we use techniques including regression analysis and the cumulative dollar offset method.

 

The accounting estimates used to assess hedge effectiveness and measure ineffectiveness could affect our primarily Overseas Business segment.

 

PENSION PLANS

 

The determination of our projected benefit obligation and expense for our employee pension benefits is mainly dependent on the size of the employee population, actuarial assumptions, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate used in the accounting.

 

Pension expense is directly related to the number of employees covered by the plans. Increased employment through internal growth or acquisition would result in increased pension expense.

 

38


Table of Contents

In estimating the projected benefit obligation, actuaries make assumptions regarding mortality rates, turnover rates, retirement rates and rates of compensation increase. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, affect expense in future periods.

 

We determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets annually based on the composition of the pension asset portfolios and the expected long-term rate of return on these portfolios. The expected long-term rate of return is designed to approximate the long-term rate of return actually earned on the plans’ assets over time to ensure that funds are available to meet the pension obligations that result from the services provided by employees. We use a number of factors to determine the reasonableness of the expected rate of return, including actual historical returns on the asset classes of the plans’ portfolios and independent projections of returns of the various asset classes.

 

We use March 31 as a measurement date for our pension assets and projected benefit obligation balances under all of our material plans. If we were to assume a 1% increase or decrease in the expected long-term rate of return, holding the discount rate and other actuarial assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2017 would decrease or increase, respectively, by approximately ¥2,004 million.

 

Discount rates are used to determine the present value of our future pension obligations. The discount rates are reflective of rates available on long-term, high-quality fixed-income debt instruments with maturities that closely correspond to the timing of defined benefit payments. Discount rates are determined annually on the measurement date.

 

If we were to assume a 1% increase in the discount rate, and keep the expected long-term rate of return and other actuarial assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2017 would decrease by approximately ¥2,103 million. If we were to assume a 1% decrease in the discount rate, and keep other assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2017 would increase by approximately ¥2,462 million.

 

While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our pension accounting are appropriate, differences in actual results or changes in these assumptions or estimates could adversely affect our pension obligations and future expenses.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we make estimates relating to income taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The process involves estimating our actual current income tax position together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for income tax reporting and financial reporting purposes. Such differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood of whether our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that realizability is not more likely than not, we must establish a valuation allowance. When we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance during a period, we must include an expense within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Significant management judgments are required in determining our provision for income taxes, current income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. We file tax returns in Japan and certain foreign tax jurisdictions and recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, and measure tax positions that meet the recognition threshold at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. Management judgments, including the interpretations about the application of the complex tax laws of Japan and certain foreign tax jurisdictions, are required in the process of evaluating tax positions; therefore, these

 

39


Table of Contents

judgments may differ from the actual results. We have recorded a valuation allowance due to uncertainties about our ability to utilize certain deferred tax assets, primarily certain net operating loss carryforwards, before they expire. Although utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, will be realized. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. If actual results differ from these estimates or if we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish additional valuation allowances, which could materially impact the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

DISCUSSION WITH AND REVIEW BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

Our management discussed the development and selection of each critical accounting estimate with our Audit Committee in June 2017.

 

FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT AND RENTAL PROPERTY

 

We own real estate such as rental office buildings, rental logistics centers, rental commercial facilities other than office buildings, rental condominiums and land which is utilized for development as operating leases. A large portion of our real estate held for investment and rental is located around major cities in Japan such as Tokyo. The following table sets forth the carrying amount of investment and rental property as of the beginning and end of fiscal 2017, as well as the fair value as of the end of fiscal 2017.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

GUIDE TO OUR CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

 

The following discussion and analysis provide information that management believes to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this annual report. See “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Our consolidated results of operations are presented in the accompanying financial statements with sub-categorization of revenues and expenses designed to enable the reader to better understand the diversified operating activities contributing to our overall operating performance.

 

As further described in “Item 4. Information on the Company,” after developing the Japanese leasing market in 1964, we extended the scope of our operations into various types of businesses which have become significant contributors to our consolidated operating results. Our initial leasing business has expanded into the provision of broader financial services, including direct lending to our lessees and other customers. Initial direct lending broadened into diversified finance such as housing loans, loans secured by real estate, unsecured loans and non-recourse loans. Through our lending experience, we developed a loan servicing business and a loan securitization business. Through experience gained by our focusing on real estate as collateral for loans, we also developed our real estate leasing, development and management operations.

 

Furthermore, we also expanded our business by adding securities-related operations, to generate capital gains. Thereafter, we established and acquired a number of subsidiaries and affiliates in Japan and overseas to expand our operations into businesses such as banking, life insurance, real estate and asset management. The Investment and Operation Headquarters selectively invests in companies and actively seeks to fulfill the needs of companies involved in or considering M&A activity, including, among other things, management buyouts, privatization or carve-outs of subsidiaries or business units and business succession.

 

The diversified nature of our operations is reflected in our presentation of operating results through the categorization of our revenues and expenses to align with operating activities. We categorize our revenues into finance revenues, gains on investment securities and dividends, operating leases, life insurance premiums and related investment income, sales of goods and real estate and services income, and these revenues are summarized into a subtotal of “Total revenues” consisting of our “Operating Income” on our consolidated statements of income.

 

The following provides supplemental explanation of certain account captions on our consolidated statements of income:

 

Finance revenues include primarily direct financing leases, interest on loans and interest on investment securities because we believe that capital we deploy is fungible and, whether used to provide financing in the form of loans and leases or through investment in debt securities, the decision to deploy the capital is a banking-type operation that shares the common objective of managing earning assets to generate a positive spread over our cost of borrowings.

 

Securities investment activities originated by the Company were extended to certain group companies, including our subsidiaries operating in the Americas. As a result, gains on investment securities and dividends have grown and become one of our major revenue sources.

 

Services income consists of revenues derived from various operations that are considered a part of our recurring operating activities, such as asset management and servicing, real estate management and contract work, facilities management related business, commissions for advisory services, automobile related business, and environment and energy related business.

 

41


Table of Contents

Similar to our revenues, we categorize our expenses based on our diversified operating activities. “Total expenses” includes mainly interest expense, costs of operating leases, life insurance costs, costs of goods and real estate sold, services expense and selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Services expense is directly associated with the sales and revenues separately reported within services income. Interest expense is based on monies borrowed mainly to fund revenue-generating assets, including to purchase equipment for leases, extend loans and invest in securities and real estate operations. We also consider the principal part of selling, general and administrative expenses to be directly related to the generation of revenues. Therefore, they have been included within “Total expenses” deducted to derive “Operating Income.” We similarly view the provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses to be directly related to our finance activities and accordingly have included it within “Total expenses.” As our principal operations consist of providing financial products and/or finance-related services to our customers, these expenses are directly related to the potential risks and changes in these products and services. See “Year Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2016” and “Year Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2015.”

 

We have historically reflected write-downs of long-lived assets under “Operating Income” as related assets, primarily real estate assets, representing significant operating assets under management or development. Accordingly, the write-downs were considered to represent an appropriate component of “Operating Income” derived from the related real estate investment activities. Similarly, as we have identified investment in securities to represent an operating component of our financing activities, write-downs of securities are presented under “Operating Income.”

 

We believe that our financial statement presentation, as explained above, with the expanded presentation of revenues and expenses, aids in the comprehension of our diversified operating activities in Japan and overseas and supports the fair presentation of our consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

Total revenues for fiscal 2017 increased 13% to ¥2,678,659 million compared to ¥2,369,202 million during fiscal 2016. Operating leases revenues increased mainly due to an increase in gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, and sales of goods and real estate increased due to an increase in revenues generated by subsidiaries in the principal investment business. In addition, life insurance premiums and related investment income increased due to increases in insurance premiums in line with an increase in new insurance contracts and investment income in ORIX Life Insurance, and an improvement in investment income from assets under variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts originally held by HLIKK compared to fiscal 2016 during which investment income decreased due to deterioration of the market environment.

 

Total expenses for fiscal 2017 increased 13% to ¥2,349,435 million compared to ¥2,081,461 million during fiscal 2016. Costs of goods and real estate sold increased in line with the aforementioned increased revenues. In addition, life insurance costs increased due to an increase in a provision of liability reserve in line with the aforementioned increase in new insurance contracts and the improvement in investment income from assets under variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.

 

Equity in net income of affiliates for fiscal 2017 decreased due to an impact from an increase in income from the affiliates in the Americas during fiscal 2016.

 

As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes for fiscal 2017 increased 9% to ¥424,965 million compared to ¥391,302 million during fiscal 2016, and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders increased 5% to ¥273,239 million compared to ¥260,169 million during fiscal 2016.

On the other hand, investment in operating leases decreased due primarily to sales of rental properties and investment in securities decreased due primarily to sales of investment in securities in ORIX Life Insurance as well as the surrender of contracts originally held by HLIKK. In addition, segment assets remained flat at ¥8,956,872 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2016.

result, long- and short-term debt decreased and deposits increased compared to the balance as of March 31, 2016. In addition, policy liabilities and policy account balances decreased due primarily to the aforementioned surrender of contracts.

 

Shareholders’ equity increased 9% to ¥2,507,698 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2016 due primarily to an increase in retained earnings.

 

Details of Operating Results

 

The following is a discussion of certain items in the consolidated statements of income, operating assets in the consolidated balance sheets and other selected financial information, including on a segment by segment basis.

 

Segment Information

 

Our business is organized into six segments that are based on major products, nature of services, customer base, and management organizations to facilitate strategy formulation, resource allocation and portfolio rebalancing at the segment level. Our six business segments are: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail and Overseas Business.

 

Financial information about our operating segments reported below is separately available to, and evaluated regularly by, management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on income before income taxes and discontinued operations, adjusted for results of discontinued operations, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests before applicable tax effect. Tax expenses are not included in segment profits.

 

For a description of the business activities of our segments, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Segments.” See Note 34 of “Item 18. Financial Statements” for additional segment information, a discussion of how we prepare our segment information and the reconciliation of segment totals to consolidated financial statement amounts.

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

This segment is involved in lending, leasing and fee business.

 

The Japanese economy on the whole entered a moderate recovery phase despite some areas of weakness. While interest rates overall increased along with the United States economy, the balance of outstanding loans at financial institutions continues to increase and interest rates on loans remain at low levels.

 

Segment revenues decreased 4% to ¥102,979 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥107,150 million during fiscal 2016 due to a decrease in finance revenues in line with decreased average investment balance and a decrease in gains on sales of securities, despite an increase in services income resulting primarily from revenue generated by Yayoi Co. Ltd. (hereinafter, “Yayoi”), and from our stable fee business to domestic small-and medium-sized enterprise customers.

Segment expenses increased due primarily to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, segment profits decreased 10% to ¥38,032 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥42,418 million during fiscal 2016.

 

Segment assets decreased 2% to ¥1,032,152 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 due primarily to a decrease in installment loans.

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

This segment consists of automobile leasing and rentals, car sharing, and test and measurement instruments and IT-related equipment rentals and leasing.

 

While demand in corporate capital investment has been gradually increasing, concerns about uncertainty in the domestic and overseas economic outlook has deterred new investment. The volume of new auto-leases in Japan increased slightly compared to fiscal 2016.

Table of Contents

Segment revenues remained flat at ¥270,615 million during fiscal 2017 compared to during fiscal 2016 due to less gains on sales in operating leases revenues, offsetting an increase in finance revenues.

 

Segment expenses increased due primarily to increases in costs of operating leases in line with increased average investment asset balance in the auto-business and selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, segment profits decreased 7% to ¥39,787 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥42,935 million during fiscal 2016.

 

Segment assets increased 3% to ¥752,513 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 due primarily to an increase in new auto-leases in the auto-business.

Land prices remain high and vacancy rates in the Japanese office building market continue to show improvements, especially in the Greater Tokyo Area due primarily to the quantitative easing policies implemented by the Bank of Japan, including the low interest rate. However, we are also seeing a trend where sales prices of condominiums are no longer increasing. Changes in tourism style such as uses of vacation rentals are affecting hotels and Japanese inns’ operation.

 

Segment revenues increased 11% to ¥212,050 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥191,540 million during fiscal 2016 due primarily to an increase in gains on sales of rental properties, which are included in operating leases revenues.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2016 due primarily to a decrease in costs of operating leases in line with a decrease in assets and write-downs of long-lived assets.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 70% to ¥72,841 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥42,902 million during fiscal 2016.

 

Segment assets decreased 11% to ¥657,701 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 due primarily to a decrease in investment in operating leases, which resulted from sales of rental properties.

Investment and Operation Segment

 

This segment consists of environment and energy business, principal investment, loan servicing (asset recovery), and concession business.

 

Investment in infrastructure, especially energy infrastructure, is diversifying in Japan. In the energy business, among renewable energy, investment is expanding beyond solar power to wind and geothermal power. In addition, business structures are also diversifying. In infrastructure investment markets, the use of private funds is expanding in the public facilities management. In emerging countries, infrastructure demand is growing rapidly with economic growth, and Japanese companies are expected to increase infrastructure investment. In the capital markets, the number of mergers and acquisitions by Japanese companies has remained high.

 

Segment revenues increased 24% to ¥1,271,973 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥1,028,355 million during fiscal 2016 due to increases in sales of goods and services income from the environment and energy business and subsidiaries in the principal investment business.

 

Segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2016 due to an increase in expenses in line with the aforementioned revenues expansion and recognition of write-downs of securities.

 

As a result of the foregoing and the recognition of gains on sales of shares of subsidiaries and affiliates, and the recognition of a bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of a subsidiary, segment profits increased 49% to ¥85,000 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥57,220 million during fiscal 2016.

 

Segment assets increased 9% to ¥768,675 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 due primarily to an increase in property under facility operations in the environment and energy business.

Retail Segment

 

This segment consists of life insurance, banking and card loan business.

 

The life insurance business in Japan is currently affected by macroeconomic factors such as domestic population decline. However, we are seeing a rise in demand for medical insurance and an increasing number of companies developing new products in response. On the other hand, we are also seeing suspensions of the sales of certain products and an increase in insurance premiums on new contracts due primarily to the Bank of Japan’s negative interest rate policy. In the card loan business for individuals, banks and other lenders are expanding their assets and competition in the lending business continues to intensify in the current low interest rate environment.

 

Segment revenues increased 45% to ¥368,665 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥254,289 million during fiscal 2016 mainly due to increases in insurance premiums in line with an increase in new insurance contracts and investment income in ORIX Life Insurance, and an improvement in investment income from assets under variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts originally held by HLIKK compared to fiscal 2016 year during which investment income decreased due to deterioration of the market environment.

 

Segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2016 due to an increase in a provision of liability reserve in line with the aforementioned increase in new insurance contracts and the improvement in investment income from assets under variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 41% to ¥72,865 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥51,756 million during fiscal 2016.

 

Segment assets decreased 5% to ¥3,291,631 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 due primarily to sales of investment in securities at ORIX Life Insurance as well as the surrender of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts originally held by HLIKK, offsetting an increase in installment loans in the banking business.

Overseas Business Segment

 

This segment consists of leasing, lending, investment in bonds, asset management and ship- and aircraft-related operations.

 

The economy of the United States has been on a continuing trend of recovery with improvements in employment and income. The economy of Europe has picked up moderately, the Chinese economy is still in a correction phase and the economies of emerging and resource-rich countries have bottomed out. Although interest rates remain low worldwide, the prospect of rising interest rates has been strong in the United States. The asset management industry is expected to increase AuM due to the increase in pension assets and the high-income class population over the mid- and long-term. Also, the aviation industry is expected to continue to expand its market size against the backdrop of increasing passenger demand mainly in emerging countries. In addition, there are political and geopolitical tensions in certain regions that need to be monitored carefully.

 

Segment revenues decreased 13% to ¥458,912 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥526,008 million during fiscal 2016 due to decreases in services income resulting primarily from the deconsolidation of Houlihan Lokey Inc. (hereinafter, “HL”) in line with the partial divestment of its shares in fiscal 2016, and decreases in sales of goods due to a sale of a subsidiary during fiscal 2017, despite an increase in finance revenues from the Americas and in Asia.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2016 due primarily to the deconsolidation of HL.

Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing and due to the recognition of a gain on the partial divestment of HL shares in fiscal 2016 and the impact from strong yen, despite gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates in the Americas, segment profits decreased 21% to ¥112,312 million during fiscal 2017 compared to ¥142,879 million during fiscal 2016.

 

Segment assets increased 7% to ¥2,454,200 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 due to increases in installment loans in Asia and the Americas and investment in securities in the Americas as well as an increase in investment in operating leases of aircraft-related operations.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2017, ¥340,398 million, or 12%, of the balance of installment loans were to real estate companies in Japan and overseas. Of this amount, ¥7,212 million, or 0.3% were loans individually evaluated for impairment. We recognized an allowance of ¥1,638 million on these impaired loans. As of March 31, 2017, we had installment loans outstanding in the amount of ¥95,926 million, or 3% of the balance of installment loans, to companies in the entertainment industry. Of this amount, ¥1,736 million, or 0.1% were loans individually evaluated for impairment. We recognized an allowance of ¥637 million on these impaired loans.

 

The balance of installment loans to consumer borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2017 increased 11% to ¥1,560,246 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the balance of housing loans. The balance of installment loans to corporate borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2017 increased 1%, to ¥623,773 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the balance of loans to real estate companies. The balance of installment loans overseas, as of March 31, 2017 increased 12%, to ¥606,892 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2016, primarily due to increased lending activity in the Americas.

* Average balances are calculated on the basis of fiscal beginning balance and fiscal quarter-end balances.

 

The balance of 90+ days past-due direct financing leases decreased ¥956 million to ¥11,600 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016. As a result, the ratio of 90+ days past-due direct financing leases decreased 0.10% from March 31, 2016 to 0.96%.

 

We believe that the ratio of allowance for doubtful receivables to the balance of investment in direct financing leases provides a reasonable indication that our allowance for doubtful receivables was appropriate as of March 31, 2017 for the following reasons:

 

   

lease receivables are generally diversified and the amount of realized loss on any particular contract is likely to be relatively small; and

 

   

all lease contracts are secured by collateral consisting of the underlying leased equipment, and we can expect to recover at least a portion of the outstanding lease receivables by selling the collateral.

Revenues from operating leases in fiscal 2017 increased 7% to ¥398,655 million compared to fiscal 2016 primarily due to an increase in gains on sales of real estate leasing, which are included in operating leases revenues, partially offset by a decrease in gains on sales in operating leases revenues in the auto-business. In fiscal 2016 and 2017, gains from the disposition of operating lease assets were ¥38,340 million and ¥69,265 million, respectively.

 

Costs of operating leases decreased 1% to ¥243,537 million in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016 primarily due to a decrease in costs from real estate leasing, despite an increase in depreciation expenses resulting from a year on year increase in the average balance of investment in the auto-business.

 

New equipment acquisitions related to operating leases decreased 13% to ¥401,913 million in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016 primarily due to a decrease in purchases of aircraft overseas.

Life insurance-related investment income was gains of ¥48,513 million in fiscal 2017 compared to losses of ¥19,699 million in fiscal 2016 due to an increase in net income on investment securities. Net income on investment securities increased due to gains on sales of JGBs and a significant increase in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK, caused by the significant market improvement in fiscal 2017. On the other hand, net gains or losses from derivative contracts held to economically hedge the minimum guarantee risk relating to these variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts decreased. In addition, interest on loans, income on real estate under operating leases, and others increased.

 

Life insurance costs increased 65% to ¥200,158 million in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016 due to an increase in the number of policies in force and a provision of liability reserve in line with the aforementioned increase in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK.

Services income remained flat at ¥737,903 million in fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 primarily solid contributions of the environment and energy business, in spite of sales of subsidiaries.

 

Services expense increased 1% to ¥451,277 million in fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 mainly resulting from the recognition of expenses from the environment and energy business.

 

New assets added for other operating transactions include property under facility operations and real estate for sale, such as residential condominiums. New assets added for other operating transactions were down 1% to ¥162,476 million in fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 despite purchases of electric power facilities and completion of property under facility operations.

 

Property under facility operations as of March 31, 2017 increased 22% to ¥398,936 million compared to as of March 31, 2016 due to purchases of electric power facilities and the newly acquired subsidiaries.

Employee salaries and other personnel expenses accounted for 57% of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2017, and the remaining portion consists of other expenses, such as rent for office space, communication expenses and travel expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2017 decreased 1% year on year mainly due to the deconsolidation of Houlihan Lokey, despite an increase in the number of consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Write-downs of long-lived assets

 

As a result of impairment reviews we performed in fiscal 2017 for long-lived assets in Japan and overseas, such as golf courses, office buildings, commercial facilities other than office buildings, condominiums, and land undeveloped or under construction, write-downs of long-lived assets decreased 32% to ¥9,134 million in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. These write-downs, which are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets, consisted of impairment losses of ¥1,307 million on six office buildings, ¥3,398 million on eight commercial facilities other than office buildings, ¥386 million on two condominiums, ¥786 million on five parcels of lands undeveloped or under construction, and ¥3,257 million on other long-lived assets, because the assets were classified as held for sale or the carrying amount exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. In addition, write-downs of other long-lived assets in fiscal 2017 include write-downs of ¥1,156 million of two aircraft. For further information, see Note 26 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Write-downs of securities

 

Write-downs of securities in fiscal 2017 were mainly for marketable equity securities. In fiscal 2017, write-downs of securities increased 46% to ¥6,608 million in fiscal 2017 compared to ¥4,515 million in fiscal 2016. For further information, see Note 9 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Equity in net income of affiliates

 

Equity in net income of affiliates decreased in fiscal 2017 to ¥26,520 million compared to ¥45,694 million in fiscal 2016 primarily due to less contributions from investment in affiliates in the Americas as compared to fiscal 2016. For further information, see Note 12 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net

 

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net increased to ¥63,419 million in fiscal 2017 as compared to ¥57,867 million in fiscal 2016, due to the favorable profit from sales in the Americas in fiscal 2016 and 2017 and the favorable profit from sales in Japan in fiscal 2017. For further information, see Note 3 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Bargain Purchase Gain

 

We recognized a bargain purchase gain of ¥5,802 million associated with one of the acquisitions in fiscal 2017 compared to no bargain purchase gain in fiscal 2016. For further information, see Note 3 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Provision for income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased to ¥144,039 million in fiscal 2017 as compared to ¥120,312 million in fiscal 2016 primarily due to higher income before income taxes and discontinued operations. For discussion of income taxes, see Note 16 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Discontinued operations

 

In fiscal 2017, there was no income or loss from discontinued operations. For further information, see Note 27 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

The amounts have been adjusted for the retrospective application of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”—ASC 835-30 (“Interest—Imputation of Interest”)) on April 1, 2016.

 

Total revenues for fiscal 2016 increased 9% to ¥2,369,202 million compared to ¥2,174,283 million during fiscal 2015. Finance revenues increased due primarily to an increase in the average balance of installment loans. In addition, sales of goods and real estate increased due primarily to revenues generated by subsidiaries acquired during fiscal 2015. Meanwhile, given the significant market improvement during fiscal 2015, life insurance premiums and related investment income for fiscal 2016 decreased on a year-on-year basis, due to a significant decrease in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK. HLIKK was merged into ORIX Life Insurance on July 1, 2015.

 

Total expenses for fiscal 2016 increased 9% to ¥2,081,461 million compared to ¥1,917,454 million during fiscal 2015. Costs of goods and real estate sold increased in line with the aforementioned revenue increases. On the other hand, life insurance costs decreased due to a reversal of liability reserve in line with the aforementioned decrease in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK. In addition, write-downs of long-lived assets decreased compared to fiscal 2015 in which an impairment of large-scale properties under facility operation and leased real estate was recorded.

Table of Contents

Equity in net income of affiliates increased due primarily to an increase in the income from the affiliates in the Americas. Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net increased compared to fiscal 2015 due primarily to the recognition of a gain on the partial divestment of shares of Houlihan Lokey, in connection with its initial public offering in the United States and its becoming an equity method affiliate.

 

As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes and discontinued operations for fiscal 2016 increased 14% to ¥391,302 million compared to ¥344,017 million during fiscal 2015, and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders increased 11% to ¥260,169 million compared to ¥234,948 million during fiscal 2015.

Total assets decreased 4% to ¥10,992,918 million compared to ¥11,439,874 million as of March 31, 2015. Installment loans increased due primarily to an increase in the banking business in Japan and an increase in corporate lending in the Americas and installment loans resulted from the acquisition of an auto loan company in Asia. In addition, investment in operating leases increased due primarily to purchases of aircraft in the Overseas Business segment. Meanwhile, investment in securities decreased due primarily to surrender of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK and a decrease in investment income from these contracts. Segment assets decreased 2% to ¥8,972,449 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015.

 

We manage our balance of interest-bearing liabilities at an appropriate level taking into account the condition of assets, our liquidity on hand as well as the domestic and overseas financial environments. As a result, long- and short-term debt decreased and deposits increased compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015. In addition, policy liabilities and policy account balances decreased compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015 due to the surrender of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK and a reversal of liability reserve in line with the decrease in investment income as mentioned above.

 

Shareholders’ equity increased 7% to ¥2,310,431 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015 due primarily to an increase in retained earnings.

Details of Operating Results

 

The following is a discussion of certain items in the consolidated statements of income, operating assets in the consolidated balance sheets and other selected financial information, including on a segment by segment basis.

 

Segment Information

 

Our business is organized into six segments that are based on major products, nature of services, customer base, and management organizations to facilitate strategy formulation, resource allocation and portfolio rebalancing at the segment level. Our six business segments are: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail and Overseas Business.

 

Financial information about our operating segments reported below is separately available to, and evaluated regularly by, management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on income before income taxes and discontinued operations, adjusted for results of discontinued operations, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests before applicable tax effect. Tax expenses are not included in segment profits.

 

For a description of the business activities of our segments, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Segments.” See Note 34 of “Item 18. Financial Statements” for additional segment information, a discussion of how we prepare our segment information and the reconciliation of segment totals to consolidated financial statement amounts.

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

This segment is involved in lending, leasing and fee business.

 

The Japanese economic outlook is becoming increasingly unclear due primarily to economic slowdown in emerging countries and the adoption of negative interest rate policy by the Bank of Japan in the second half of fiscal 2016 despite positive corporate earnings during the first half. The balance of outstanding loans at financial institutions continues to increase and interest rates on loans remain at low levels.

 

Segment revenues increased 25% to ¥107,150 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥85,502 million during fiscal 2015 due to increases in services income and sales of goods primarily from revenue generated by Yayoi, which we acquired on December 22, 2014, and a robust fee business that serves domestic small- and medium-sized enterprise customers. In addition, gains on sales of investment securities were recognized during fiscal 2016, which offset a decrease in finance revenues in line with the decreased average balance of installment loans.

Table of Contents

While segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2015 due primarily to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses following the consolidation of Yayoi, segment profits increased 66% to ¥42,418 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥25,519 million during fiscal 2015.

 

Segment assets decreased 7% to ¥1,049,867 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 due primarily to decreases in installment loans and investment in direct financing leases.

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

This segment consists of automobile leasing and rentals, car sharing, and test and measurement instruments and IT-related equipment rentals and leasing.

 

Revenues have been growing through the high value-added services provided towards the demands in capital investment for boosting competitiveness and further cost reduction while corporate capital investment in general has been decreasing. The volume of new auto leases in Japan during fiscal 2016 was similar to the level of fiscal 2015.

Table of Contents

Segment revenues increased 3% to ¥271,662 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥263,499 million during fiscal 2015 due primarily to increases in operating leases revenues and finance revenues resulting from the steady expansion of assets in the automobile business and in services income derived from value-added services such as maintenance.

 

Despite an increase in segment expenses due primarily to increases in the costs of operating leases, services expense, and selling, general and administrative expenses, which were in line with revenue growth, segment profits increased 6% to ¥42,935 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥40,366 million during fiscal 2015.

 

Segment assets increased 10% to ¥731,329 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 due primarily to an increase in leasing assets, mainly in the automobile business.

Real Estate Segment

 

This segment consists of real estate development and rental, facility operation, REIT asset management, and real estate investment advisory services.

 

The real estate market has remained active due primarily to the quantitative easing policy of the Bank of Japan, including the adoption of negative interest rates. Land prices have been high and office rents and vacancy

rates in the Japanese office building market continue to show signs of improvement especially in the Greater Tokyo area. Furthermore, due to an increase in the number of tourists from abroad, we are seeing increases in the occupancy rates and average daily rates of hotels and Japanese inns. Meanwhile, we are also seeing a trend where sales prices of condominiums stopped rising and domestic property acquisitions by foreign funds decreasing.

 

Segment revenues increased 5% to ¥191,540 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥182,321 million during fiscal 2015 due primarily to an increase in services income from the facility operation business, despite a decrease in rental revenues, which are included in operating leases revenues, in line with a decrease in the balance of real estate assets.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2015 due primarily to a decrease in write-downs of longlived assets and decreases in interest expense and costs of operating leases in line with decreased asset balance.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased significantly by approximately twelve times to ¥42,902 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥3,484 million during fiscal 2015.

 

Segment assets decreased 11% to ¥739,592 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 due primarily to a decrease in investment in operating leases, which resulted from sales of rental properties, and a decrease in installment loans and investment in securities.

Investment and Operation Segment

 

This segment consists of environment and energy-related business, principal investment, and loan servicing (asset recovery).

 

In Japan, while the government is reassessing its renewable energy purchase program, the significance of renewable energy in the mid- to long-term is on the rise with investment targets expanding beyond solar power generation projects to include wind and geothermal power generation projects. In the capital market, since January 2016, size of M&A transactions appear to have decreased despite an increase in the total number of M&A transactions closed during fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 in which several large cross-border M&A transactions took place.

 

Segment revenues increased 54% to ¥1,028,355 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥666,120 million during fiscal 2015 due primarily to a significant increase in sales of goods and real estate contributed by subsidiaries acquired during fiscal 2015 and an increase in gains on sale of condominium by DAIKYO. An increase in the amount of services income from the environment and energy-related business also contributed.

 

Segment expenses also increased compared to fiscal 2015 due to an increase in expenses in connection with subsidiaries including DAIKYO and the environment and energy-related business, each of which increased in line with segment revenues expansion.

 

As a result of the foregoing and the recognition of gains on sales of shares of subsidiaries, segment profits increased 35% to ¥57,220 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥42,414 million during fiscal 2015.

 

Segment assets increased 7% to ¥704,156 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 due primarily to an increase in property under facility operations in the environment and energy-related business and investment in affiliates resulting from the investment in the facility operation business of the Kansai and Osaka International Airports. Meanwhile, installment loans, investment in securities and inventories decreased.

Retail Segment

 

This segment consists of life insurance, banking and card loan business.

 

Although the life insurance business in Japan is affected by macroeconomic factors such as population decline, we are seeing an increasing number of companies launching new insurance products in response to the rising demand for medical insurance. On the other hand, with the introduction of negative interest rate policy, we are also seeing certain discontinued products and increased insurance premium for new contract. In the consumer finance sector, banks and other lenders are expanding their assets to further secure new revenue streams, and competition in the lending business continues to intensify on the back of the current low interest rate environment.

Table of Contents

Segment revenues decreased 40% to ¥254,289 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥425,977 million during fiscal 2015 due to a significant decrease in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK, offsetting a steady increase in life insurance revenue generated by ORIX Life Insurance and an increase in finance revenues in the banking business.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2015 due primarily to a reversal of liability reserve for the aforementioned decrease in investment income of HLIKK.

 

As a result of the foregoing and the recognition of a bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of HLIKK during fiscal 2015, segment profits decreased 57% to ¥51,756 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥120,616 million during fiscal 2015.

 

Segment assets decreased 6% to ¥3,462,772 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 due primarily to a substantial decrease in investment in securities held by HLIKK, offsetting an increase in installment loans in the banking business.

The world economy has been suppressed with low level of growth due primarily to falling commodity prices such as the price of crude oil and fluctuations in financial markets. While moderate economic growth is expected among developed countries, economic growth in emerging and developing countries is expected to be weak overall and disparity in economic growth among such countries continues to widen. In addition, political and geopolitical tensions in certain regions need to be monitored carefully.

 

Segment revenues decreased 6% to ¥526,008 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥561,893 million during fiscal 2015 due to a decrease in gains on sales of investment securities and the deconsolidation of Houlihan Lokey, despite increases in sales of goods and finance revenues in the Americas, and increases in operating leases revenues in Asia.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2015 due to the deconsolidation of Houlihan Lokey, despite an increase in costs of operating leases.

 

Segment profits increased 37% to ¥142,879 million during fiscal 2016 compared to ¥104,143 million during fiscal 2015 due primarily to the recognition of a gain on the partial divestment of Houlihan Lokey shares in connection with its initial public offering in the United States and an increase in income from affiliates in the Americas.

 

Segment assets increased 5% to ¥2,284,733 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 due primarily to an increase in investment in operating leases by the aircraft-related operations and an increase in corporate lending in the Americas and an increase in installment loans resulted from the acquisition of an auto loan company in Asia.

As of March 31, 2016, ¥15,917 million, or 1%, of our portfolio of installment loans to consumer and corporate borrowers in Japan related to our life insurance operations. We reflect income from these loans as life insurance premiums and related investment income in our consolidated statements of income.

 

As of March 31, 2016, ¥290,848 million, or 11%, of the balance of installment loans were outstanding to real estate companies in Japan and overseas. Of this amount, ¥8,612 million, or 0.3% of the balance of installment loans, were loans individually evaluated for impairment. We recognized an allowance of ¥2,140 million on these impaired loans. As of March 31, 2016, we had installment loans outstanding in the amount of ¥101,281 million, or 4% of the balance of installment loans, to companies in the entertainment industry. Of this amount, ¥2,429 million, or 0.1% of the balance of installment loans, were loans individually evaluated for impairment. We recognized an allowance of ¥840 million on these impaired loans.

 

The balance of installment loans to consumer borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2016 increased 7% to ¥1,406,087 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in the balance of housing loans. The balance of installment loans to corporate borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2016 decreased 8%, to ¥615,323 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in the balance of non-recourse loans. The balance of installment loans overseas, as of March 31, 2016 increased 20%, to ¥540,299 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2015, primarily due to increased lending activity in the Americas.

The balance of 90+ days past-due direct financing leases decreased ¥2,817 million to ¥12,556 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. As a result, the ratio of 90+ days past-due direct financing leases decreased 0.2% from March 31, 2015 to 1.06%.

 

We believe that the ratio of allowance for doubtful receivables as a percentage of the balance of investment in direct financing leases provides a reasonable indication that our allowance for doubtful receivables was appropriate as of March 31, 2016 for the following reasons:

 

   

lease receivables are generally diversified and the amount of realized loss on any particular contract is likely to be relatively small; and

 

   

all lease contracts are secured by collateral consisting of the underlying leased equipment, and we can expect to recover at least a portion of the outstanding lease receivables by selling the collateral.

We determine the allowance for our other items on the basis of past loss experience, general economic conditions and the current portfolio composition.

Costs of operating leases increased 3% to ¥245,069 million in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 primarily due to an increase in depreciation expenses resulting from a year on year increase in the average balance of investment in transportation equipment operating leases, despite a decrease in costs from real estate leasing.

 

New equipment acquisitions related to operating leases increased 48% to ¥463,770 million in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 primarily due to an increase in purchases of aircraft overseas.

Table of Contents

Life insurance premiums increased 12% to ¥209,120 million in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 due to an increase in the number of policies in force.

 

Life insurance-related investment income was losses of ¥19,699 million in fiscal 2016 compared to gains of ¥164,946 million in fiscal 2015 due to a decrease in net income on investment securities. Net income on investment securities decreased due to a significant decrease in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK, caused by the significant market improvement in fiscal 2015. On the other hand, net gains or losses from derivative contracts held to economically hedge the minimum guarantee risk relating to these variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts increased. In addition, interest on loans, income on real estate under operating leases, and others decreased due to recognition of gains on sales of real estate under operating leases in fiscal 2015.

 

Life insurance costs decreased 55% to ¥121,282 million in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 due to a reversal of liability reserve in line with the aforementioned decrease in investment income from variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held by HLIKK.

Write-downs of long-lived assets

 

As a result of impairment reviews we performed in fiscal 2016 for long-lived assets in Japan and overseas, such as golf courses, office buildings, commercial facilities other than office buildings, condominiums, and land undeveloped or under construction, write-downs of long-lived assets decreased 61% to ¥13,448 million in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015. These write-downs, which are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets, consist of impairment losses of ¥8,038 million on eleven office buildings, ¥2,061 million on five commercial facilities other than office buildings, ¥780 million on one condominium, ¥22 million on one parcel of lands undeveloped or under construction, and ¥2,547 million on other long-lived assets, because the assets were classified as held for sale or the carrying amount exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. In addition, write-downs of other long-lived assets in fiscal 2016 include write-downs of ¥2,338 million of two aircraft. For further information, see Note 26 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Funding Activities

 

We prioritize funding stability, maintaining adequate liquidity, and reducing capital costs. We formulate and execute on funding policies that are resilient to sudden deterioration in financial markets, and then execute funding activities in accordance with the actual circumstances of our assets and changes in financial markets. In preparing our management plan, we project funding activities to maintain a balanced capital structure based on projected cash flows, asset liquidity and our liquidity on hand. In implementation, we adjust our funding plan based on changes in the external funding environment and our funding needs in light of our business activities, and endeavor to maintain flexibility in our funding activities.

 

In our funding activities during fiscal 2017, we have tried to reinforce our funding structure by diversifying our funding resources, promoting longer maturities, staggering redemption dates and maintaining sufficient liquidity. We also undertook various international funding activities, such as bond offerings outside Japan. We also have enhanced our use of longer maturities, employed staggered interest and principal repayment dates and

We maintain adequate levels of liquidity and monitor liquidity risk to minimize the effect a sudden market deterioration may have on us and to enable us to sustain our operations.

 

Our ratio of long-term debt to total debt (excluding deposits) reached 92% as of March 31, 2016 and 93% as of March 31, 2017.

 

For more information regarding our liquidity risk management, see “Risk Management” under this Item 5.

 

Group Liquidity Management

 

ORIX is primarily responsible for accessing liquidity for ORIX Group and for managing the allocation of liquidity to subsidiaries. In managing our capital resources and controlling liquidity risk, we employ various measures, including a cash management system for supplying funds to, and receiving funds from, our major domestic subsidiaries, other than regulated subsidiaries like ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance. Our overseas subsidiaries rely primarily on local funding sources such as borrowings from local financial institutions and issuing bonds in local capital markets, but they may also obtain loans from ORIX. We also support liquidity of overseas subsidiaries by establishing local commitment lines and maintaining a multi-currency commitment line available to ORIX and certain of its overseas subsidiaries.

 

ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are our main regulated subsidiaries in terms of liquidity controls, although several other subsidiaries also operate under such regulations. ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are regulated by Japanese financial authorities. Under relevant regulations, each of them employs prescribed measures to monitor liquidity risk at the entity level and maintains internal policies to manage its portfolios and capital resources on a standalone basis. Each of these subsidiaries met the relevant regulatory threshold relating to measures for monitoring its liquidity risk as of March 31, 2017.

 

ORIX Bank obtains most of the funds it needs to operate its business through deposit taking. Although ORIX Bank provides loans to several of our domestic subsidiaries in the ordinary course of its business, such loans are subject to a maximum limit set by the Japanese Banking Act. Under such regulations, ORIX Bank may not make loans to other members of ORIX Group in an aggregate amount exceeding a regulatory limit. ORIX Life Insurance underwrites insurance, receives insurance premiums from policyholders, and conducts financing and investment activities, including lending. Lending from ORIX Life Insurance to other members of ORIX Group is subject to regulation, including under the Japanese Insurance Business Act. For these reasons, ORIX Group manages its liquidity separately from ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance.

 

Ratings

 

As of the date of this filing, Standard & Poor’s has assigned an “A-” as our counterparty credit rating, Fitch has assigned a “A-” as our long-term issuer rating, Moody’s has assigned a “Baa1” as our long-term issuer rating, and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has assigned an “A+” as our issuer rating.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Borrowings from Financial Institutions

 

ORIX Group borrows from a variety of sources, including major banks, regional banks, foreign banks, life insurance companies, casualty insurance companies and financial institutions associated with agricultural cooperatives. As of March 31, 2017, the number of our lenders exceeded 200. We have promoted regular face-to-face communications and established positive working relationships with financial institutions in Japan

and overseas. The majority of our loan balances consists of borrowings from Japanese financial institutions. We procured financing through a subordinated syndicated loan (hybrid loan) which has similar characteristics to capital as of March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, short-term debt from Japanese and foreign financial institutions was ¥247,263 million and ¥233,371 million, respectively, while long-term debt from financial institutions was ¥2,723,320 million and ¥2,724,856 million, respectively.

 

Committed Credit Facilities

 

We regularly enter into committed credit facilities agreements, including syndicated agreements, with financial institutions to secure liquidity. The maturity dates of these committed credit facilities are staggered to prevent an overlap of contract renewal periods. The total amount of our committed credit facilities as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 was ¥464,677 million and ¥463,643 million, respectively. Of these figures, the unused amount as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 was ¥389,903 million and ¥393,968 million, respectively. A part of the facilities are arranged to be drawn down in foreign currencies by ORIX and certain of our subsidiaries.

 

The decision to enter into a committed credit facility is made based on factors including our balance of cash and repayment schedules of short-term debt such as CP.

 

Debt from the Capital Markets

 

Our debt from capital markets is mainly composed of bonds, MTNs, CP, and securitization of leases, loans receivables and other assets.

 

Bonds and MTNs

 

We regularly issue straight bonds and MTNs domestically and internationally to diversify our funding sources and maintain longer liability maturities. In fiscal 2017, we issued ¥40,000 million bonds in Japan. We also issued amounts equal to ¥163,780 million of bonds and MTNs outside Japan.

 

The total balance of straight bonds and MTNs issued as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 was ¥938,066 million and ¥885,058 million, respectively, of which straight bonds and MTNs amounting to ¥40,597 million and ¥55,845 million, respectively, were issued by foreign subsidiaries.

 

As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, the balance of straight bonds issued by ORIX for domestic institutional investors was ¥254,323 million and ¥254,440 million, respectively, while the balance of straight bonds issued by ORIX for individual investors was ¥529,658 million and ¥379,166 million, respectively. The balance of straight bonds and MTNs issued outside Japan was ¥109,400 million and ¥193,744 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

 

We plan to continue to issue straight bonds and MTNs in a balanced manner to institutional and individual investors both inside and outside Japan in line with our strategy of maintaining longer maturities and diversified funding sources.

 

CP

 

We offer CP as a direct financing source, and have successfully obtained a diverse range of investors such as investment trusts, life insurance companies, casualty insurance companies and other financial institutions, as well as private corporations. We consider our liquidity levels and stagger the dates of issuance and the maturity over time so as to avoid significant overlap. The balance of outstanding CP as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 was ¥102,361 million and ¥50,096 million, respectively.

 

Securitization

 

We securitize leases and loan receivables and other assets in Japan and securitize loan receivables outside Japan. We recognize liabilities consolidated with such investments as our liabilities when required under

Table of Contents

applicable accounting standards. The total amount of payables under securitized lease and loan receivables and other assets as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 was ¥275,532 million and ¥245,070 million, respectively.

 

Deposits

 

ORIX Bank and ORIX Asia Limited each accept deposits from customers. These deposit taking subsidiaries are regulated institutions, and loans from these subsidiaries to ORIX Group entities are subject to maximum regulatory limits.

 

The majority of deposits are attributable to ORIX Bank, which attracts both corporate and retail deposits, and which has seen sustained growth in deposits outstanding. Deposit balances of ORIX Bank as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 were ¥1,396,547 million and ¥1,611,759 million, respectively.

Long-term debt as of March 31, 2017 was ¥3,854,984 million, representing 93% of total debt (excluding deposits) as of March 31, 2017, while the ratio was 92% of total debt excluding deposits as of March 31, 2016. Borrowings from financial institutions comprised 71% of the long-term debt as of March 31, 2017.

 

Approximately 47% of interest paid on long-term debt in fiscal 2017 was fixed rate interest, with the remainder being floating rate interest based mainly on TIBOR or LIBOR.

 

For information regarding the repayment schedule of our long-term debt and interest rates for long and short-term debt, see Note 14 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

We have entered into interest rate swaps and other derivative contracts to manage risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates. For information with respect to derivative financial instruments and hedging, see Note 29 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

For further information with respect to deposits, see Note 15 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

CASH FLOWS

 

In addition to the payment of operating expenses, such as selling, general and administrative expenses, as a financial services company, our primary uses of cash are for:

 

   

payment and repayment of interest on and principal of short-term and long-term debt; and

 

   

purchases of lease equipment, making of installment loans to customers, purchases of investment in securities and cash outlays for real estate development projects.

 

The use of cash, therefore, is heavily dependent on new business volumes for our operating assets. When new business volumes for such assets as leases and loans increase, we require more cash to meet these requirements, while a decrease in new business volumes results in a reduced use of cash for new assets and an increase in debt repayment.

 

92


Table of Contents

We have cash inflows from the principal payments received under direct financing leases and installment loans and proceeds from sales of investment securities and operating lease assets. For cash flow information regarding interest and income tax payments, see Note 4 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Year Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2016

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥309,450 million to ¥1,039,870 million compared to March 31, 2016.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥583,955 million during fiscal 2017, up from ¥510,562 million during fiscal 2016, primarily resulting from a change from an increase to a decrease in trade notes, accounts and other receivable and a decrease in a decrease in trade notes, accounts and other payable.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥237,608 million during fiscal 2017, down from ¥552,529 million during fiscal 2016, primarily resulting from a decrease in purchases of available-for-sale securities.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities were ¥33,459 million during fiscal 2017, down from ¥48,001 million during fiscal 2016, primarily resulting from an increase in deposits due to customers.

 

Year Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2015

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥97,098 million to ¥730,420 million compared to March 31, 2015.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥510,562 million during fiscal 2016, up from ¥257,611 million during fiscal 2015 due primarily to an increase in net income, a decrease in a previous decrease in policy liabilities and policy account balances and an increase in income taxes payable, net.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥552,529 million during fiscal 2016, up from ¥467,801 million during fiscal 2015. This change was primarily due to increases in purchases of lease equipment and investment in affiliates, in addition to decreases in proceeds from sales of operating lease assets and principal collected on installment loans.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities were ¥48,001 million during fiscal 2016 compared to the inflow of ¥213,432 million during fiscal 2015. This change was primarily due to an increase in repayment of debt with maturities longer than three months.

 

COMMITMENTS FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had commitments for the purchase of equipment to be leased in the amount of ¥706 million. For information on commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities, see Note 33 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

USE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES

 

We periodically securitize various financial assets such as lease receivables and loan receivables. These securitizations allow us to access the capital markets, provide us with alternative sources of funding and diversify our investor base and help us to mitigate, to some extent, credit risk associated with our customers and risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates.

 

93


Table of Contents

In the securitization process, the assets for securitization are sold to SPEs, which issue asset-backed securities to investors.

 

We expect to continue to utilize SPE structures for securitization of assets. For further information on our securitization transactions, see Note 10 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Investment Products

 

We provide investment products to our customers that employ a contractual mechanism known in Japan as a kumiai, which is in effect a type of SPE. We arrange and market kumiai products to investors as a means to finance the purchase of aircraft, ships or other large-ticket items to be leased to third parties. A portion of the funds necessary to purchase the item is contributed by such investors, while the remainder is borrowed by the kumiai from one or more financial institutions in the form of a non-recourse loan. The kumiai investors (and any lenders to the kumiai) retain all of the economic risks and rewards in connection with the purchase and leasing activities of the kumiai, and all related gains or losses are recorded on the financial statements of investors in the kumiai. We are responsible for the arrangement and marketing of these products, and may act as servicer or administrator in kumiai transactions. Fee income for arranging and administering these transactions is recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In most kumiai transactions, excluding some kumiai and SPE, we do not guarantee or otherwise have any financial commitments or exposure with respect to the kumiai or its related SPE and, accordingly, their assets are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

Other Financial Transactions

 

We occasionally enter into loans, equity or other investments in SPEs in connection with finance transactions related to aircraft, ships and real estate, as well as transactions involving investment funds, in addition to real estate purchases and development projects. All transactions involving use of SPE structures are evaluated to determine whether we hold a variable interest that would result in our being defined as the primary beneficiary of the SPE. When we are considered to own the primary beneficial interest in the SPEs, the SPEs are fully consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. In all other circumstances our loan, equity or other investments are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as appropriate.

 

See Note 11 of “Item 18. Financial Statements” for further information concerning our SPEs.

One of our U.S. subsidiaries is authorized to underwrite, originate, fund and service multi-family and senior housing loans without prior approval from Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program. As part of this program, Fannie Mae provides a commitment to purchase the loans.

 

In return for this delegated authority, the subsidiary guarantees the performance of certain housing loans transferred to Fannie Mae and has the payment or performance risks of the guarantees to absorb some of the losses when losses arise from the transferred loans. The amount attributable to the guarantee included in the table above is ¥167,799 million as of March 31, 2017.

 

The subsidiary makes certain representations and warranties in connection with the sale of loans through Fannie Mae, including among others, that: the mortgage meets Fannie Mae requirements; there is a valid lien on the property; the relevant transaction documents are valid and enforceable; and title insurance is maintained on the property. If it is determined that a representation and warranty has been breached, the subsidiary may be required to repurchase the related loans or indemnify Fannie Mae for any related losses incurred. The subsidiary had no such repurchase claims during fiscal 2017.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

 

In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued. The core principle of this Update is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue, and in what amount. The five steps to apply the model are:

 

   

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

 

   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Determine the transaction price

 

   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

This Update requires an entity to disclose more information about contracts with customers than under the current disclosure requirements.

 

In April 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-10 (“Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued as an amendment of the new revenue standard. This Update adds further guidance on identifying performance obligations and also improves the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606.

 

In May 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-12 (“Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued as an amendment of the new revenue standard. This Update (1) clarifies the objective of the collectibility criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permits an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specifies that the measurement date for non-cash consideration is contract inception; (4) provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarifies that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarifies that an entity that retrospectively applies ASC 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption.

 

These Updates are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within the fiscal year. An entity should apply the amendments in these Updates using either a retrospective method or a cumulative-effect method. The entity may elect some optional practical expedients when applying these Updates. The entity using the cumulative-effect method would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying these Updates as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or net assets at the date of initial application. Currently, the Company and its subsidiaries plan to adopt these Updates on April 1, 2018, using the cumulative-effect method. And these Updates require a number of new disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The scope of these Updates excludes lease contracts, financial instruments and other contractual rights and obligations within the scope of other ASC Topics including loans, investments in securities and derivatives and also excludes contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 944

(“Financial Services—Insurance”). Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries’ such revenues will not be affected by these Updates. However, the Company and its subsidiaries have been in process of evaluating the impact of these Updates on our consolidated financial statements around other revenue streams. Based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ initial assessment and best estimates to date, the impact of the application of these Updates will likely result in a change in the timing of revenue recognition and accounting policy for performance fees received from customers regarding asset management business. Currently, certain subsidiaries recognize such fees when earned based on the performance of the asset under management, while other subsidiaries recognize the fees on accrual basis over the period in which services are performed. New guidance requires recognizing such fees as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Other than the impact that have been currently identified, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of these Updates will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position, as well as changes in disclosures required by these Updates.

 

In July 2015, Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 (“Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”—ASC 330 (“Inventory”)) was issued.

Additionally, this Update defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis.

eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. This Update also requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and requires that an entity that has an available-for sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively.

This Update is effective for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operation or financial position will depend on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.

 

RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Group-Wide Risk Management System

 

Risk Management System

 

ORIX Group monitors and manages the risks relating to the Group businesses through its risk management system. In addition to the credit department, which primarily monitors risks related to individual transactions and each business unit has designated staff responsible for managing risks at the business unit level. The results are reported to the Investment and Credit Committee at meetings held three times a month, to the Group Executive Officer Committee at meetings held once every two months and to the board of directors at meetings held on a regular basis for evaluation, and the relevant executive officers take measures deemed appropriate to address identified risks.

 

Risk Control

 

ORIX Group allocates management resources by taking into account Group-wide risk preferences based on management strategies as well as the strategy of individual business units. Our board of directors and executive officers evaluate the performance and profitability of each business unit, and the executive officers take responsive measures they deem necessary to control risk. This process enables us to control our balance sheet and allocate more management resources to business units viewed as having greater growth potential.

 

ORIX Group, in addition to monitoring by business unit, monitors risks on an individual transaction and total portfolio basis.

Table of Contents

For individual transactions relating to business transactions, the credit department evaluates the operating environment, strategies, and potential risks and profitability of each transaction prior to execution, and reports on such individual transactions to the Investment and Credit Committee for review. Changes to the operating environment and cash flow are monitored after transaction execution, and transactions for which there has been a major change in circumstances or strategy are then reported to the appropriate executive officers. In addition, individual business units conduct their own risk analysis by analyzing trends in relevant industries to control risks for individual transactions.

 

In analyzing a portfolio, the credit department monitors the following characteristics from a Group-wide perspective: business type, region, transaction type, risk type, asset quality status and concentration status of major debtors. The corporate planning department monitors risks at the corporate level, including market risk and liquidity risk in cooperation with the treasury department and the credit department.

 

Main Risk Management

 

We recognize that credit risk, business risk, market risk, liquidity risk (risk relating to funding), compliance risk, legal risk information asset risk and operational risk are the main risks we face, and we manage each of these risks according to its characteristics.

 

Credit Risk Management

 

We define credit risk as uncertainty regarding future recovery of investments caused by fluctuations in cash flow from debtors and investees.

 

To analyze credit risk, we evaluate the adequacy of collateral and guarantees, the securitization of receivables and the diversification of debtors and their business types. We conduct a comprehensive customer credit evaluation based on the customer’s financial position, cash flow, underlying security interests, profitability and other factors of individual credit transactions. Moreover, an analysis of our portfolio and measures to establish appropriate credit limits allow us to control exposure to markets with potentially high risks.

 

We recognize certain assets that require extra monitoring, including credit extended to debtors who have petitioned for bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation or other insolvency proceedings, or whose bank transactions have been suspended, bills have been dishonored, or debts have not been collected for three months or more. The relevant business units, in cooperation with the credit department, take steps to secure collateral or other guarantees and to begin the collection process. The accumulated collection knowhow from sending an initial reminder to actively seizing collateral is consolidated in the credit department and is reflected in our evaluation criteria for individual credit transactions and portfolio analysis.

 

Business Risk Management

 

We define business risk as uncertainties related to new business areas, potential obsolescence of the products or services we offer or a decline in their quality, and variability in market prices for the types of products or services we offer.

 

To address uncertainties related to new business areas, we monitor business plans and operations using scenario analyses and stress tests, and we also evaluate and verify the cost of withdrawal from a business.

 

For products and services we offer, in addition to monitoring quality, we review the content of our lineup of products and services in response to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs and endeavor to maintain or improve their quality.

 

A principal risk relating to operating leases is fluctuation in the residual value of leased properties. To control this risk, we monitor our leased properties inventory, market environments and the overall business

environment. We generally limit our operating leases to leased properties with high versatility that are comparatively easy to re-lease, and evaluate the sale of such properties depending on changes in market conditions.

 

We endeavor to reduce the risk related to fluctuation in market prices for real estate by strengthening our cash flow through careful management of our rental income, vacancy rates and expenses related to capital expenditures.

 

Market Risk Management

 

We define market risk as the risk of changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities caused by changes in market variables, such as interest rates, exchange rates and stock prices.

 

We endeavor to comprehensively verify and understand market risks and have established and maintain Group-wide ALM rules to address such risks.

 

Interest rate risk is comprehensively evaluated factoring in the expected impact of interest rate changes on periodic profit and loss and/or the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities positions and the funding environment. These analysis methods are modified, as required, depending on the situation.

 

We generally manage exchange rate risk by using foreign currency-denominated loans, foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps to hedge exchange rate volatility in our business transactions in foreign currencies and overseas investments. We monitor and manage exchange rate risk of unhedged foreign currency-denominated assets and retained earnings of foreign subsidiaries using indicators such as VaR (value at risk) and adjusting hedge positions as needed based on changes in the market environment at any given time.

 

We manage counterparty credit risk and other risks involved in hedging derivative transactions in accordance with internal rules on derivative transaction management.

 

For assets under management in our banking business, our life insurance business and our overseas operations, we regularly monitor monetary policies, macroeconomic indicators and securities and financial market trends and country risk, and we manage our asset portfolios by analyzing individual security price movements (both gains and losses). Market volatility is managed according to guidelines that include fixed loss amounts and decreases in position. Our credit department monitors our compliance with the guidelines.

 

For quantitative and qualitative analysis information on market risk, please see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

Liquidity Risk Management (Risk Management Relating to Funding)

 

We define liquidity risk as the risk that we will be unable to obtain required funds or that we will be forced to procure funds at an unusually high rate of interest due to market turmoil, a sharp decline in the financial condition of the ORIX Group or other reasons.

 

To reduce liquidity risk, we diversify fund procurement methods and sources and constantly monitor liquidity on hand. To manage liquidity on hand, we project future cash flows and analyze liquidity risk using hypothetical stress scenarios. We take necessary measures so that our businesses may withstand adverse market changes.

 

The effect on the business of each subsidiary is monitored by ascertaining liquidity risk in each subsidiary and in every country in which ORIX operates. We take appropriate measures to mitigate liquidity risk, including through such action as parent-to-subsidiary lending.

Table of Contents

ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are engaged in retail financial activities for individual customers and are regulated by Japanese financial authorities. They are required to manage liquidity risk independently from other ORIX Group companies based on their internal regulations formulated according to the relevant regulations.

 

ORIX Bank maintains liquidity levels required by Japanese financial regulations by holding highly liquid assets such as cash and government and corporate bonds and by setting an upper limit for capital markets-based funding. In addition, ORIX Bank regularly monitors the status of its liquidity, estimates the tightness of cash flows under different scenarios and conducts stage-by-stage management of liquidity risk accordingly.

 

ORIX Life Insurance conducts stress tests on insured events and manages its liquidity requirements by holding highly liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents and securities above a certain ratio against the balance of a liability reserve and by setting maximum limits for holding held-to-maturity securities.

 

Compliance Risk Management

 

We define compliance risk as the risk of financial loss, regulatory sanction or damage to our reputation resulting from a failure by ORIX Group to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding ORIX Group’s business activities and ORIX Group’s corporate philosophy, internal policies, social norms rules and procedures which may also encompass legal risk when applicable laws and regulations are violated.

 

It is the policy of ORIX Group to promote a culture of compliance, emphasizing high standards of ethical behavior at all levels of the organization, and to comply fully with applicable laws and regulations as well as corporate policies through robust and comprehensive compliance programs developed and maintained across all business units, corporate departments and support areas of the organization.

 

In order to lower the levels of risks that we deem significant at the Group level, the compliance department requires each department of the ORIX Group to formulate an annual compliance plan, detects compliance risks within ORIX Group thereby eliminating, reducing or taking preventive measures against such risks. By implementing programs that sustain a culture of compliance, the compliance department seeks to mitigate compliance risk and prevent the occurrence of serious incidents, and thereby realize to the sound business and management of the ORIX Group.

 

In addition, ORIX Group strives to raise awareness for compliance matters among its executives and employees by establishing and disseminating various regulations in accordance with ORIX Group’s Principles of Conduct, which sets forth the ORIX Group’s principles of compliance.

 

Legal Risk Management

 

We define legal risk as legal restrictions on business activities and legal liability as well as disadvantages that may araise due to laws and regulations applicable to ORIX Group’s business and corporate management, the establishment and amendment of such laws and regulations and regulatory oversight.

 

To avoid, reduce and prevent transactional legal risk in Japan, we generally require that the credit department, the legal department and the compliance department be involved in evaluating and/or executing transactions. In addition to establishing and maintaining internal rules designed to facilitate compliance with applicable laws that are currently in effect, we take steps to ensure that we are in compliance with revisions to laws as they take effect.

 

For transactional agreements relating to business transactions, we have established an approval process involving the legal department in accordance with our prescribed internal rules. In addition, depending on the size and importance of a given transaction, we may also seek advice from outside counsel. To ensure that proper

legal procedures are followed in connection with actual or potential disputes and litigation, we require that the legal department, the compliance department and the credit department be involved in the management of such disputes and litigation, including lawsuits that have been, or are expected to be, brought against us and lawsuits that we bring, or expect to bring, against third parties.

 

The Group corporate administration department manages intellectual property rights and takes necessary measures if and immediately when an actual or potential infringement of ORIX Group’s intellectual property rights is discovered.

 

Overseas, each Group company works to avoid, reduce and prevent legal risks by utilizing in-house legal functions and, when necessary, by engaging outside lawyers and other advisers.

 

Information Asset Risk Management

 

We define information asset risk as the risk of loss caused by loss, damage or leakage of information or failure of our information systems.

 

ORIX Group has established policies regarding the use of information systems and information management systems for the proper handling of information assets and information about officers and employees.

 

The IT planning department and ORIX Computer Systems Corporation endeavor to reduce the risk of system failure within the ORIX Group, including from cyber-attack and damage to information security, through the maintenance and management of internal systems.

 

We have also established internal regulations concerning our information security management system, basic policy, management standards, education and audits.

 

Operational Risk Management

 

We define operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from damages, losses, adverse effects or damage to our reputation caused by inadequate or failed internal processes for business execution or prevention of human error or by a failure in operations due to external events such as natural disasters. We also include risk that we fail in our fiduciary responsibility by not properly exercising discretionary rights for those customers and clients for whom we are acting as a fiduciary, which may lead to reputational and other damage.

 

We have established internal rules to manage risks associated with natural disasters, which are designed to protect management resources and minimize losses while giving priority to the safety of our executives and employees.

 

The internal audit department conducts monitoring activities based on an annual internal audit plan that also focuses on material operational risks. The department endeavors to prevent the occurrence of events that could negatively affect Group management and seeks to strengthen the risk management function through monitoring activities.

 

Individual Business Risk Management

 

We engage in a broad spectrum of businesses, including financial service operations. We perform complete and transparent monitoring and risk management according to the characteristics of each business segment.

 

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

Credit risk is the main risk of the Corporate Financial Services segment.

 

103


Table of Contents

After individual transactions have been executed, the Corporate Financial Services segment regularly monitors the transaction’s performance and related collateral, as well as collection from customers whose balances exceed specified levels. The credit department regularly evaluates customers with large credit balances.

 

Within this segment, we analyze current conditions and the outlook for specific business types and industries, including the potential impact on customers while making decisions about future transactions in that specific business type or industry.

 

For assets requiring extra monitoring, particularly in transactions secured by real estate, we take various measures such as capitalizing on our network of real estate-related departments to sell properties or introduce tenants.

 

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

Business risk and credit risk are the main risks of the Maintenance Leasing segment.

 

To manage the risk of changes in the market value of property under operating leases, we continuously monitor market environments and fluctuation in the resale value of leased property and adjust residual value estimates of leased property in new transactions accordingly.

 

Cost fluctuation is the risk of providing various services such as outsourcing. In response to this, we analyze initial cost planning and performance, monitor future forecasts and control costs at an appropriate level.

 

In addition, the services might fall short of customer expectations due to changes in the operating environment or changes in and diversification of client needs, we monitor our service quality quantitatively and qualitatively and continuously strive to improve our services in line with the operating environment.

 

We also conduct credit examinations of individual transactions to manage credit risk.

 

Real Estate Segment

 

Business risk is the main risk of the Real Estate segment, which includes real estate development, rental, management, asset management and operation of real estate investment trust and real estate investment advisory business.

 

With respect to our real estate investment, before making an investment decision we evaluate the actual cash flow performance of the target as against the initial plan and forecasts, and monitor investment strategies and schedules after execution. Upon a major divergence from the initial forecast, we reevaluate our strategy. In addition, when we invest in large scale or long term projects, we consider diversifying risk by making joint investments with our partners.

 

For development and leasing properties, we monitor development and retention schedules and net operating income yield. We capitalize on the Group’s network to improve occupancy rates and promote sales.

 

In our facility operation business, we monitor performance indicators such as occupancy and utilization rates and profitability. We conduct market analysis and take initiatives to improve the desirability of our facilities, such as through renovations. To improve the quality of our services and facilities, we take into consideration customers’ feedback and also implement training programs for our employees.

 

Investment and Operation Segment

 

Credit risk, market risk and business risk are the main risks of the Investment and Operation segment.

 

104


Table of Contents

In the environment and energy-related businesses, for renewable energy, energy conservation and resource and waste processing operations, we endeavor to minimize business risk by deploying appropriate equipment and technology, forming alliances with expert operators and arranging our business structure to allow for changes in the business environment and the business content.

 

When making investment decisions in the principal investment business, we conduct a credit evaluation, analyzing the investee’s credit risk and assessing its cash flow, as is done for credit examinations. In addition, we perform a multi-faceted evaluation of the characteristics of the business operation and investment scheme, in which administrative departments such as the accounting and legal are also involved. After the initial investment, individual transactions are monitored for divergence from the initial scenario.

 

We emphasize credit risk when increasing the corporate value of a company since cash flow is a key-factor during such period. We also monitor market risk as the time for collection nears, measuring corporate value by referencing the corporate value of similar business types. The frequency of monitoring may increase based on changes in the business environment, and we simultaneously verify the adequacy of investment scenarios and take any necessary action. Furthermore, for investments that have a significant impact on the profitability of the ORIX Group, we work to strengthen management through measures such as the secondment of management personnel.

 

We conduct our concession business together with business partners in public facilities such as airports. The main risks of such business are business and operational risks. The long-term nature of this business adds uncertainty and, therefore, we conduct stress tests on the effect of disaster recovery and business withdrawal costs on operating revenue and cash flow based on demand forecasts and regularly monitor business planning and operations.

 

In the loan servicing business, we seek to reduce credit and operational risk by conducting periodic internal auditing and monitoring and by implementing business operations based on work procedures in accordance with the applicable supervision and guidance from regulatory authorities. In addition, OAMLS has appointed a lawyer as a director, has streamlined its organization to place legal and compliance-related affairs under the legal and compliance department. This approach allows OAMLS to employ expert advice and other perspectives in addressing stakeholder related legal issues.

 

Retail Segment

 

The main risk in the life insurance business is business risk and market risk, in particular, the risk associated with underwriting insurance contracts.

 

While ORIX Life Insurance implements strict assessment standards based on documents such as statements of health condition and medical examination reports, when underwriting insurance contracts, it also cultivates employees with expert knowledge and hires sufficient staff, checks the status of insurance solicitation and takes rigorous measures to prevent the underwriting of fraudulent contracts. In addition, ORIX Life Insurance educates and instructs representative branch staff and agents to enhance compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy of personal information, as well as insurance sales practices, and regularly checks whether these measures are carried out.

 

Credit risk is the main risk of the housing loan business, the corporate loan business and the card loan business.

 

Regarding each housing loan we extend for the purchase of condominiums and apartments for investment purposes, we conduct screenings through individual interviews, which consist of a comprehensive evaluation including not only the client’s ability to repay but also the cash flows that can be derived from the property and its collateral value. Throughout this process, we utilize the real estate market information, industry know-how and network we have built over many years.

 

105


Table of Contents

Decision making for corporate loans is based on an investigation of the client’s performance, business plan, purpose of the loan, expected source of repayment and industry trends. We also reduce risk by avoiding overconcentration in any particular business types and products in our portfolio.

 

The card loan business uses a proprietary scoring system incorporating a credit model. We set interest rates and credit limits in line with each customer’s credit risk profile, after evaluating their creditworthiness based on an analysis of certain customer attributes or payment history, as well as other factors that might affect the ability of the borrower to repay. Also, we undertake subsequent credit evaluations at regular intervals to monitor changes in the customer’s financial condition.

 

Overseas Business Segment

 

In the Overseas Business segment, credit risk is the main risk of the leasing and loan businesses operated by local subsidiaries which are located mainly in Asia.

 

Individual transactions in this segment are conducted in a manner similar to those in the domestic business segments. The credit department monitors the portfolio according to country risk. Information regarding the portfolio of the respective local subsidiaries, the business condition of major clients, the condition of those assets requiring extra monitoring and the clients of particular concern is shared internally.

 

Risk management in the principal investment business and the automobile-related business is conducted in a similar manner to that in the domestic business segments.

 

In addition, in the aircraft and ship-related business, we monitor market conditions and the overall business environment for business risk. We generally limit our operating leases to ships and aircraft with high versatility that are comparatively easy to re-lease and evaluate sales depending on changes in market conditions.

 

Credit risk and market risk are the main risks for the investment and finance business such as corporate loans and securities investment in the United States.

 

Regarding credit risk, at the time an investment is made, we assign an internal credit rating to each investment or loan taking into consideration the credit status and the collateral status and continuously monitor the credit status. For any investments and/or loans of which the rating has reached or exceeded the cautionary level, our policy requires management to determine the necessity of a provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses or an impairment.

 

Regarding market risk, we monitor market values while referring to credit risk information and manage risk by pursuing early sales as appropriate to secure profits or minimize losses.

 

Operational risk is the main risk for the loan servicing business in the United States. We arrange loans and conduct servicing operations thereof under public financing schemes such as the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Housing Administration. We conduct our operations based on the designated operating procedures set forth by these public financial institutions, and monitor and manage service quality through internal auditing.

 

Business risk and operational risk, in particular, the risk associated with fiduciary responsibility are the main risks for the asset management business and the advisory business.

 

Regarding business risk, in addition to monitoring to maintain and ensure satisfactory quality levels, we review the content of our products and services to constantly maintain and improve quality in response to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs.

 

106


Table of Contents

Regarding operational risk in the asset management business, regarding risk arising from acting as a trustee for customer and client property, we promote the standardization of business processes and regulations and manuals related to, and seek to prevent, omissions and mistakes in conducting business operations and to improve efficiency generally. In addition, we ensure proper risk management by clarifying operating procedures and the authority and the responsibilities of administrators and supervisor in business operations.

 

To ensure high-quality advice and evaluation services in the advisory business, we, through an internal quality control committee and other forms of oversight, maintain operating procedures that meet the standards set forth by authorities.

 

GOVERNMENTAL AND POLITICAL POLICIES AND FACTORS

 

Other than as outlined below, in our opinion, no current governmental economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies or factors have materially affected, or threaten to materially affect, directly or indirectly, our operations or the investments in our Shares by our U.S. shareholders.

 

In January 2014, the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”)—an international standard-setting authority—proposed a methodology for assessing and designating non-bank non-insurer global systemically important financial institutions (“NBNI G-SIFIs”). In March 2015, the FSB and the International Organization of Securities Commissions, jointly published a revised proposal for public comment; and in July 2015, the FSB announced its decision to wait to finalize the assessment methodologies until it completes its assessment of financial stability risks from asset management activities. It is currently unclear if or when the assessment methodologies framework will be finalized, what form a final framework may take, what policy measures will be recommended to apply to NBNI G-SIFIs, and whether ORIX or any of its affiliates ultimately would be designated as a NBNI G-SIFI.

 

Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees

 

DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM

 

We believe that a robust corporate governance system is a vital element of effective and enhanced management and have established sound and transparent corporate governance to carry out appropriate business activities in line with our core policies and to ensure objective management.

 

ORIX’s corporate governance system is characterized by:

 

   

separation of operation and oversight through a “Company with Nominating Committee, etc.” board model;

 

   

Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees composed entirely of non-executive directors and an Audit Committee composed entirely of outside directors;

 

   

all outside directors satisfying strict conditions for independence; and

 

   

all outside directors being qualified in their respective fields.

 

Rationale behind adopting ORIX’s Corporate Governance System and history of the system

 

We believe that swift execution of operations is vital to effectively responding to changes in the business environment. Furthermore, we believe that ORIX’s governance system promotes improved management transparency through a system in which outside directors, who are experts in their respective fields monitor and advise on legal compliance and the appropriate execution of operations.

 

107


Table of Contents

Based on these principles, our board of directors possesses oversight function and, under the “Company with Nominating Committee, etc.” board model which we adopted in June 2003, delegates certain responsibilities to the three committees (Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees) to carry out the role of effective governance. Please see the history of ORIX’s corporate governance system below.

 

Oversight by directors is separate from the execution of operations within the three committees that form the heart of the board of directors. Each committee is formed entirely by non-executive directors to help avoid conflicts of interest with our shareholders.

 

In addition, all outside directors must meet the conditions for director independence as set forth by the Nominating Committee (described below under “Nominating Committee”).

 

Below is a summary of the history of ORIX’s corporate governance system;

 

June 1997

   Established Advisory Board

June 1998

   Introduced Corporate Executive Officer System

June 1999

   Introduced Outside Directors

June 2003

   Adopted the “Company with Committees” board model

May 2006

   Adopted the new “Company with Committees” board model in line with the enactment of the Companies Act of Japan

May 2015

   Adopted the new “Company with Nominating Committees, etc.” board model in line with the amendment of the Companies Act of Japan

 

The “Company with Nominating Committees, etc.” board model, as stipulated under the Companies Act of Japan, requires the establishment of three board of director committees: the Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees. Each committee is required to consist of three or more directors, a majority of whom must be outside directors. Directors may serve on more than one committee. The term of office of committee members is not stipulated under the Companies Act of Japan. However, as a committee member must be a director of the Company, the term expires at the close of the first annual general meeting of shareholders after his or her election. Under the Companies Act of Japan, an outside director is defined as a director who does not have a role in executing the Company’s business, meaning an individual who has not assumed in the past ten years the position of a representative director or a director with the role of executing the business, executive officer (shikkou-yaku), manager or any other employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and who does not currently assume such position of the company or any of its subsidiaries. (See Item 16G “Corporate Governance”.)

 

Board of Directors

 

The board of directors has ultimate decision-making authority for our important affairs. It also monitors the performance of the directors and executive officers and receives performance reports from the executive officers and others. Our Articles of Incorporation provide for no fewer than three directors. Directors are elected at general meetings of shareholders. The term of office for any director, as stipulated under the Companies Act of Japan, for companies that adopt a “Company with Nominating Committees, etc” board model, expires at the close of the first annual general meeting of shareholders after his or her election.

 

The board of directors carries out decisions related to items that, either as a matter of law or pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, cannot be delegated to executive officers, and important items as determined by the regulations of the board of directors. The board of directors is responsible for deciding and monitoring ORIX’s policies on a regular basis, which include corporate planning such as capital management, fund procurement, hiring and recruitment strategies and internal controls. Aside from such items, the board of directors delegates decision-making regarding operations to representative executive officers to facilitate better efficiency and swiftness of such process. The board of directors also receives reports from executive officers and committees regarding the status of business operations and finances.

Table of Contents

With the exception of the aforementioned items, the board of directors may delegate substantial management authority to representative executive officers. Representative executive officers make decisions on management issues as delegated by the board of directors and execute the business of the Company. For example, the board may delegate to representative executive officers the authority to approve issuances of shares of capital stock and bonds. In addition, the Companies Act of Japan permits an individual to simultaneously be a director and a representative executive officer of the Company.

 

From April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017, the board of directors met eight times. The attendance rate of directors for these meetings was 98%.

 

The board of directors as of June 29, 2017 included 12 members, six of whom are outside directors.

 

Composition and size of Board of Directors

 

The board of directors is composed of directors, including outside directors, that possess broad knowledge and experience. The number of directors on the board is also maintained at the level we consider to be appropriate for effective and efficient board discussion.

 

Structure and Activities of the Three Committees

 

As of June 29, 2017, all three committees (Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees) consisted of non-executive directors, and the Audit Committee consisted entirely of outside directors. The members of each committee along with the number of committee meetings and attendance rates are shown below.

Nominating Committee

 

The Nominating Committee is authorized to propose the slate of director appointments or dismissals to be submitted to the annual general meeting of shareholders. Directors are appointed and dismissed by a resolution of the annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, the Nominating Committee deliberates on the agenda concerning appointment or dismissal of our executive officers to be resolved at the board of directors meeting, although this is not required under the Companies Act of Japan.

 

Furthermore, the Nominating Committee ensures that the board of directors possesses the appropriate levels of and diversity in knowledge, experience, and expertise, through an established decision making process for directors’ appointments. The Nominating Committee also nominates executive officer candidates to the board of directors following an assessment of candidates’ past experience, knowledge, and suitability for the position to execute business decisions in the company’s existing and new businesses.

Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee monitors the operational execution of the directors and executive and prepares audit reports. In addition, the Audit Committee proposes the appointment or dismissal of, or the passage of resolutions refusing the reappointment of the Company’s independent certified public accountants to the annual general meeting of shareholders. Eiko Tsujiyama, chairperson of the Audit Committee, is qualified as a certified public accountant and has extensive knowledge in finance and accounting as a professional accountant.

 

Under the “Company with Nominating Committees, etc.” board model, the directors who compose the Audit Committee are not permitted to be executive officers, executive directors, managers, any other employees or accounting counselors (kaikei san-yo) of the Company or its subsidiaries. Under the “Company with Nominating Committees, etc.” board model, the Audit Committee generally has powers and duties to monitor the performance of the directors and executive officers in the performance of their responsibilities, as well as the right to propose the appointment or dismissal of, or to pass resolutions for refusing reappointment of the Company’s independent certified public accountants at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Any proposal for appointment or dismissal of a certified public accountant needs to be submitted to a general meeting of shareholders for approval. In furtherance of its responsibilities, the Audit Committee also has the power to request a report of business operations from any director, executive officer, manager or other employee at any time, and to inspect for itself the details of the Company’s business operations and financial condition.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee has the authority to set the policy for determining compensation for directors and executive officers in accordance with the Companies Act of Japan and to set the specific compensation for each individual director and executive officer. Director and executive officer compensation information is disclosed in accordance with the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

 

Executive Officers

 

Under the “Company with Nominating Committees, etc.” board model, and within the scope of laws and ordinances, corporate decisions made at board of directors meetings are delegated to the executive officers to accelerate and achieve efficiency in business operations. The representative executive officer makes important business execution decisions after deliberations by the Investment and Credit Committee (“ICC”) in accordance with the Company’s internal policies. The business execution duties of executive officers are decided by the board of directors and the representative executive officer and these duties are carried out based upon the Company’s internal policies. Group executives are appointed by the board of directors from among directors and executive officers of Group companies.

 

111


Table of Contents

Important decision-making related to business execution, monitoring, discussions, and information sharing is carried out by the following bodies:

 

Investment and Credit Committee

 

The ICC, which includes members of top management and the executive officers involved with a given transaction, is held primarily to deliberate and decide on credit transactions and investments that exceed certain specified investment or credit amounts, important matters related to the management of the Company and matters that have been entrusted to the representative executive officer by the board of directors. Matters considered crucial to our operations are decided by the ICC and reported to the board of directors as appropriate.

 

Group Executive Officer Committee

 

The Group Executive Officer Committee, in which executive officers and group executives of the Company participate, discusses important matters relate to the business execution of ORIX Group.

 

Monthly Strategy Meetings

 

Monthly Strategy Meetings include meetings between top management and the management in charge of individual departments and business units to discuss matters such as the status for achieving of strategic targets and changes in the business environment. Matters of key importance discussed at Monthly Strategy Meetings are then deliberated and decided by the ICC and reported to the board of directors as necessary.

 

Information Technology Management Committee

 

The Information Technology Management Committee includes members of top management and the executive officer in charge of information technology (“IT”) systems. It meets to deliberate and approve important matters concerning fundamental policies for IT operations and IT systems. The committee determines the needs of and priorities for IT investment based on ORIX Group’s fundamental IT strategies. This method enables ORIX to ensure that IT decisions are consistent with its business strategies and to make IT investments that contribute to business growth and help reduce risk.

 

Disclosure Committee

 

The Disclosure Committee, which plays a key role in our disclosure control, is chaired by the CFO and consists of the executive officers in charge of various departments, including: Treasury and Accounting Headquarters, Credit and Investment Management Headquarters, Enterprise Risk Management Headquarters, Group Human Resources and Corporate Administration Headquarters and Group Internal Audit Department. Upon receiving material information from an executive officer of ORIX Group or the person in charge of an ORIX Group company department, the committee discusses whether or not any timely disclosure is necessary, and takes steps to appropriately disclose such information.

 

Policies on Auditing and Auditing System

 

The Audit Committee has established the following five items as its fundamental policies:

 

   

The Committee shall always emphasize a consolidated management standpoint in auditing.

 

   

The Committee shall monitor and verify the formulation and status of operations of the Group’s internal control systems. In particular, it shall consider the validity and effectiveness of compliance systems, systems to ensure the credibility of financial reporting, and risk management systems.

 

112


Table of Contents
   

The Committee shall monitor and verify whether directors, executive officers, and employees under the supervision of executive officers are complying with laws, ordinances, and the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation in fulfilling their obligations of loyalty and due diligence, as well as any other legal obligations to the Group.

 

   

The Committee shall monitor and verify whether executive officers are determining the execution of their duties and carrying out said duties appropriately and efficiently in accordance with basic management policies, medium-term management plans, and other plans and policies established by the Board of Directors.

 

   

To ensure the fairness and credibility of audits, the Committee shall monitor and verify whether the accounting auditor is maintaining its independent position and conducting appropriate audits as a professional expert.

 

Based on these fundamental policies, the Audit Committee verifies the status of the performance of duties and the formulation and status of operations of internal control systems with the representative executive officer and the heads of internal control-related and accounting departments, and shares information with the executive officers responsible for the Group Internal Audit Department, the accounting auditor, and others as necessary.

 

The Auditing functions of the Company are as follows.

 

Audit Committee

 

Audit Committee which consists of four outside directors evaluates the Company’s internal control systems from an independent standpoint and may appoint outside experts to conduct its duties if necessary.

 

Audit Committee Secretariat

 

Audit Committee Secretariat which includes three staff members, supports the work of the Audit Committee under the Audit Committee’s instructions. The appointment and evaluation of, changes to, and disciplinary action toward the staff of the Audit Committee Secretariat are carried out by the executive officer responsible for the Group Internal Audit Department with the approval of the Audit Committee.

 

Executive Officer Responsible for Group Internal Audit Department

 

Executive Officer Responsible for Group Internal Audit Department supports the Audit Committee in collecting information. They are entrusted by the Audit Committee with attending important meetings within the ORIX Group and accurately reporting information essential to auditing activities to the Audit Committee in a timely manner.

 

Group Internal Audit Department and Group Corporate Auditors

 

Group Internal Audit Department, which includes 31 staff (as of the end of May 2017), performs internal audits on the effectiveness of internal control systems, and the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, compliance, and other factors pertaining to the management of the ORIX Group through a risk-based approach. It also jointly monitors critical risk through cooperation with 16 full-time corporate auditors (as of the end of May 2017) and internal audit functions at group companies and works to maintain and enhance the ORIX Group’s internal auditing system

 

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE

 

ORIX Group must appoint independent certified public accountants, who have the statutory duty of examining the nonconsolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally

 

113


Table of Contents

accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”). The independent certified public accountants must present an auditor’s report to the Audit Committee and the executive officers specified by the board of directors. The independent certified public accountants are also responsible for auditing financial statements that are submitted to the Kanto Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance (“Kanto Local Finance Bureau”). The board of directors is required to submit the audited consolidated and nonconsolidated financial information to the annual general meeting of shareholders, and this information is also required to be submitted to the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Kanto Local Finance Bureau.

 

Presently, our independent certified public accountants are KPMG AZSA LLC. The independence of KPMG AZSA LLC has been evaluated by our Audit Committee.

 

In addition to the nonconsolidated financial statements that are prepared under Japanese GAAP, we also prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP consolidated financial information is used by management for evaluating our performance and forms the basis for presentation of financial information to our shareholders. The consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are included in this annual report filed with the SEC have been audited by KPMG AZSA LLC, which is registered with the PCAOB in the United States.

 

In the opinion of management, the provision of non-audit services did not impair the independence of KPMG AZSA LLC.

EMPLOYEES

 

As of March 31, 2017, we had 34,835 full-time employees, compared to 33,333 as of March 31, 2016 and 31,035 as of March 31, 2015. We employ 2,693 staff in the Corporate Financial Services segment, 2,684 staff in the Maintenance Leasing segment, 4,542 staff in the Real Estate segment, 12,648 staff in the Investment and Operation segment, 2,742 staff in the Retail segment, 8,268 staff in the Overseas Business segment and 1,258 staff as part of our headquarters function as of March 31, 2017. With the exception of the Overseas Business segment, all other staff are located in Japan. As of March 31, 2017, we had 20,613 temporary employees. Some of our employees are represented by a union. We consider our labor relations to be excellent.

 

The mandatory retirement age for our employees is 65, but for our subsidiaries and affiliates the retirement age varies. ORIX and major domestic subsidiaries introduced a system for retirement at age 65 from April 2014. By implementing the system alongside the current re-employment system at retirement age, the system will allow employees to choose how they will work from age 60 according to their lifestyles. In April 2010, ORIX introduced an early voluntary retirement program that is available to ORIX employees who are at least 45 years old. Employees who take advantage of this program receive their accrued retirement package plus an incentive premium.

 

ORIX and some of its subsidiaries have established contributory and noncontributory funded pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. The contributory funded pension plans include defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump sum payments at the time of termination of their employment or, if enrollment period requirements have been met, to pension payments. Defined benefit pension plans consist of a cash balance plan and a plan in which the amount of the payments are determined on the basis of length of service and remuneration at the time of termination. Our funding policy in respect of these plans is to contribute annually the amounts actuarially determined to be required. Assets of the plans are invested primarily in interest-bearing securities and marketable equity securities. In July 2004, ORIX introduced a defined contribution pension program. In November 2004, we received permission from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to transfer the substitutional portion of benefit obligation from our employer pension fund to the government and these assets were transferred back to the government in March 2005. Total costs (termination or pension plans for both employees and directors and corporate auditors) charged to income for all benefit plans (including defined benefit plans) were ¥13,032 million, ¥9,417 million and ¥9,136 million in fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

SHARE OWNERSHIP

 

As of June 29, 2017, the directors, executive officers and group executives of the Company directly held an aggregate of 309,333 Shares, representing 0.02% of the total Shares issued as of such date.

 

COMPENSATION

 

To promote greater management transparency in our governance, we had established the Executive Nomination and Compensation Committee in June 1999. Its functions included recommending executive remuneration. In June 2003, we adopted a “Company with Committees” board model and replaced the Executive Nominating and Compensation Committee with separate Nominating and Compensation Committees. For discussion of these committees, see “Item 6.—Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Nominating Committee” and “—Compensation Committee.”

 

Along with the adoption of the “Company with Committees” board model, ORIX terminated its program for retirement payments to directors and corporate auditors. In connection with the termination of this program, shareholders approved payments of an aggregate maximum amount of ¥3,250 million to directors and ¥50 million to corporate auditors for accumulated payments. The amount, timing and method of payment was approved for each director and corporate auditor by the then newly established Compensation Committee. The payments to individual directors and corporate auditors were based on the length of service and remuneration at the time of termination.

 

Compensation for directors, executive officers and group executives in fiscal 2017 was as follows (in millions of yen);

As stated in “Compensation policy for Executive Officers” below, from fiscal 2017, the method for deciding the annual portion of this prescribed number of points for the share component of the compensation system for executive officers was revised. Before the revision the provided number of points was uniformly decided by position. However after the change, the standard number of points to be provided according to position held was changed to reflect the consolidated operating performance and the division operating performance of the relevant division for which the executive officer is responsible for fiscal 2017. In accordance with these changes, the method of disclosure was revised to provide a clearer relationship between the share component of the compensation listed above and the performance for fiscal 2017. Up until fiscal 2016, the amount paid listed in the table above was the amount of the share component of compensation actually paid at the time a director or executive officer retired. However from fiscal 2017 onward, the amount paid listed in the table above is calculated by multiplying the number of points confirmed to be provided as the portion for fiscal 2017 by the stock market price paid by the trust (“Board Incentive Plan Trust”) when ORIX’s shares were acquired (¥1,544 per share).

Compensation for Makoto Inoue, Representative Executive Officer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ORIX, for fiscal 2017 was ¥91 million in fixed compensation, ¥79 million in performance-linked compensation and ¥79 million in share component of compensation.

The actual total amount of the share component of compensation paid in fiscal 2017 was ¥643 million paid to three executive officers who retired during fiscal 2017, one executive officer and one group executive officer who retired before the end of fiscal 2016. The following individuals retired during fiscal year 2017 and were paid share component of compensation totaling over ¥100 million. Compensation for Hiroaki Nishina, currently Advisor of ORIX Corporation and President of ORIX Baseball Club Co., Ltd., as Vice Chairman of ORIX, for fiscal 2017 was ¥35 million in fixed compensation, ¥15 million in performance-linked compensation and ¥308 million in share component of compensation. Compensation for Tetsuo Matsumoto, currently Advisor of ORIX Real Estate Corporation, as Corporate Senior Vice President of ORIX, for fiscal 2017 was ¥21 million in fixed compensation, ¥9 million in performance-linked compensation and ¥128 million in share component of compensation.

 

The Compensation Committee sets the following “Policy of Determining Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers.”

 

Policy of Determining Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

 

ORIX’s business objective is to increase shareholder value over the medium- to long- term. ORIX believes in the importance of each director’s and executive officer’s responsibly performing his or her duties and cooperation among different business units in order to achieve continued growth of the ORIX Group. The Compensation Committee believes that in order to accomplish such business objectives, directors and executive officers should place emphasis not only on business performance during the current fiscal year, but also on medium- to long-term results. Accordingly, under the basic policy that compensation should provide effective incentives. ORIX takes such factors into account when making decisions regarding the compensation system and compensation levels for directors and executive officers. Taking this basic policy into consideration, we have established separate policies for the compensation of directors and executive officers in accordance with their respective roles.

 

Compensation Policy for Directors

 

The compensation policy for directors who are not also executive officers aims for composition of compensation that is effective in maintaining supervisory and oversight functions of executive officers’ performance in business operations, which is the main duty of directors. Specifically, ORIX’s compensation structure for directors consists of fixed compensation and share-based compensation*. In addition, the Company strives to maintain a competitive level of director compensation according to the role fulfilled, and receives third-party research reports on director compensation for this purpose.

 

Fixed compensation is, in principal, a certain amount that is added to the compensation of the chairperson and member of each committee. Share-based compensation reflecting medium- to long- term performance is granted at the time of retirement in the form of ORIX’s shares, which is calculated based on the number of points earned and accumulated by the individual while in office until the end of his or her directorship.

Compensation Policy for Executive Officers

 

The compensation policy for executive officers, including those who are also directors, aims for a level of compensation that is effective in maintaining business operation functions, while also incorporating a component that is linked to current period business performance. Specifically, ORIX’s compensation structure for executive officers consists of fixed compensation, performance-linked compensation, and share-based compensation* as described above. In addition, based on a research report from a third-party compensation consultant, the Company strives to maintain a competitive level of compensation with executive officer compensation functioning as an effective incentive.

 

Fixed compensation is determined for each individual based on a standard amount for each position. For executive officers, compensation linked to business performance for fiscal 2017 uses the level of achievement of the consolidated net income target as a performance indicator, adjusting 50% of the position-based standard amount within the range of 0% to 200% while, at the same time, using the level of achievement of the target of the division for which the relevant executive officer was responsible, adjusting 50% of the position-based standard amount within the range of 0% to 200%. In the case of the representative executive officers, the consolidated net income target is used as a performance indicator, adjusting the standard amount within the range of 0% to 200%. For share component of compensation reflecting medium- to long-term performance, executive officers are granted points on an annual basis based on their position for their period of service, and they are granted ORIX shares corresponding to the amount of points they have accumulated at the time of retirement. The points received each year shall be the result of adjusting 50% of the position-based standard points within the range of 0% to 200% based on the level of achievement of the consolidated net income target, which is used as the consolidated performance indicator, while at the same time adjusting 50% of the position-based standard points within the range of 0% to 200% based on the level of achievement of the operating results target of the division for which the relevant executive officer was responsible. In the case of the representative executive officers, the points received each year shall be the result of adjusting the standard points within the range of 0% to 200% based on the level of achievement of the consolidated net income target, which is used as the consolidated performance indicator.

 

* In June 2005, we introduced the share-based component of compensation, which is a program in which points are annually allocated to directors and executive officers based upon prescribed standards while in office, and the actual number of ORIX’s shares calculated based on the number of accumulated points is provided at the time of retirement. In July 2014, we started to provide these shares through a trust established by the Company (“ The Board Incentive Plan Trust ”)**. Points granted to the members of each position are determined based on title and seniority in accordance with guidelines set by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has not set a fixed term in which directors and executive officers must retain the shares after their retirement. The Compensation Committee may restrict the awarding of stock-based compensation to directors and executive officers in the event that such individuals engage in inappropriate behavior while in office that would inflict harm on the Company.
** The Company entrusts money to the “ Board Incentive Plan Trust ”, which acquires ORIX’s shares from the stock market for directors and executive officers at the end of his or her tenure using money contributed in advance.

 

In addition, in June 2005, we established guidelines for ownership of our shares for directors, executive officers and group executives.

 

The total number of points of the shares component of compensation granted to directors, executive officers and group executives for fiscal 2017 is equivalent to 350,290 points. Under this system, ¥643 million, which is equivalent to 416,541 points accumulated up to the end of tenure, was paid to executive officers and group executives who left their positions during fiscal 2017 and before the end of fiscal 2016. As a result, the balance to directors, executive officers and group executives as of March 31, 2017 was 1,576,708 points.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

To our knowledge, no individual beneficially owns 5% or more of any class of the Shares that might give that individual significant influence over us. In addition, we are not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or under common control with, any enterprise.

 

We may enter into transactions with shareholders or potential large investors in the ordinary course of our business. We may also enter into transactions in the ordinary course of our business with certain key management personnel or with certain companies over which we, or our key management personnel, may have a significant influence. Our business relationships with these companies and individuals cover many of the financial services we provide our clients generally. We believe that we conduct our business with these companies and individuals in the normal course and on terms equivalent to those that would exist if they did not have equity holdings in us, if they were not our key management personnel, or if we or our key management personnel did not have significant influence over them, as the case may be. None of these transactions is or was material to us or, to our knowledge, to the other party.

 

Other than as outlined below, since the beginning of our last full fiscal year, there have been no transactions or outstanding loans, including guarantees of any kind, and there are none currently proposed, that are material to us, or to our knowledge, to the other party, between us and any (i) enterprises that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or are under common control with, us; (ii) associates; (iii) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of us that gives them significant influence over us, and close members of any such individual’s family; (iv) key management personnel, including directors and senior management of companies and close members of such individuals’ families; or (v) enterprises in which a substantial interest in the voting power is owned, directly or indirectly, by any person described in (iii) or (iv) or over which such a person is able to exercise significant influence.

 

There are no outstanding loans (including guarantees of any kind) made by us or any of our subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any of the persons listed in clauses (i) through (v) in the foregoing paragraph other than those listed in the table below. Certain of our affiliates may fall within the meaning of a related party under clauses (i) or (ii) of the foregoing paragraph. The amount of outstanding loans (including guarantees of any kind) made by us to or for the benefit of all our affiliates, including those which may fall within the meaning of a related party, totaled ¥38,721 million as of March 31, 2017 and did not exceed ¥39,000 million at any time during fiscal 2017.

TOKYO STOCK EXCHANGE

 

The primary market for the Shares is the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Shares have been traded on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange since 1973.

 

The following table shows the reported high and low closing sales prices of the Shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, excluding off-floor transactions. High and low sales price quotations from the Tokyo Stock Exchange have been translated in each case into dollars per ADS at the noon buying rate for yen expressed in yen per $1.00 in New York City for cable transfer in foreign currencies on the relevant date or the noon buying rate for yen on the next business day if the relevant date is not a New York business day. On April 1, 2013, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of common stock held by shareholders registered on the Company’s register of shareholders as of March 31, 2013. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per one ADS to five underlying shares per one ADS. In the following tables and elsewhere in this document unless indicated otherwise, numbers of shares of ORIX’s common stock, per share, including price per share, information for ORIX’s common stock and ORIX’s ADS information in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split on April 1, 2013.

Directors and Board of Directors, and Committees

 

There shall be no less than three directors of the Company (Article 16). The term of office of a director is for one (1) year and expires upon conclusion of the annual General Meeting of Shareholders relating to the last fiscal year ending within one year after election of director (Article 18). Resolutions of the Board of Directors are adopted by a majority vote of the directors present at a meeting attended by a majority of the directors who may participate in making resolutions (Article 21).

 

There is no provision in our Articles of Incorporation as to a director’s power to vote on a proposal or arrangement in which the director is materially interested, but, under the Companies Act or Regulations of the board of directors, the director must refrain from voting on such matters at meetings of the board of directors. Under the Companies Act, the board of directors may, by resolution, delegate to the executive officers its authority to make decisions with regard to certain important matters, including the incurrence by ORIX of a significant amount of loan, prescribed by law.

 

We are required to maintain a Nominating Committee, an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee (Article 10). The Compensation Committee sets the specific compensation for each individual director and executive officer based on the policy for determining compensation for directors and executive officers (see Item 6). No member of the Compensation Committee may vote on a resolution with respect to his or her own compensation as a director.

 

Neither the Companies Act nor our Articles of Incorporation includes special provisions as to the retirement age of directors, or a requirement to hold any shares of capital stock of ORIX to qualify him or her as a director of ORIX.

 

Stock

 

Our authorized share capital is 2,590,000,000 shares. Currently our Articles of Incorporation provide only for the issuance of shares of common stock. All shares of capital stock of us have no par value. All issued shares are fully-paid and non-assessable.

 

Unless shareholders’ approval is required as described in “Voting Rights,” the shares will be issued under a resolution approved by the board of directors and a decision made by the executive officer under delegation by the board of directors.

 

For changes in the number of shares issued for the past three fiscal years, see Note 21 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Under the Act on Book-Entry Transfer of Corporate Bonds, Shares, Etc. of Japan and regulations thereunder, or the Book-Entry Law, in Japan, every share which is listed on any of the stock exchanges in Japan

 

131


Table of Contents

shall be transferred and settled only by the central clearing system provided by Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. (“JASDEC”) and all Japanese companies listed on any Japanese stock exchange no longer issue share certificates. Shareholders of listed shares must have accounts at account management institutions to hold their shares unless such shareholder has an account at JASDEC, and any transfer of shares is effected through book entry, and title to the shares passes to the transferee at the time when the transferred number of the shares is recorded in the transferee’s account at an account managing institution under the Book-Entry Law. The holder of an account at an account managing institution is presumed to be the legal owner of the shares recorded in such account. Under the Companies Act and the Book-Entry Law, in order to assert shareholders’ rights against us, the transferee must have his or her name and address registered on our Register of Shareholders, except in limited circumstances. Foreign shareholders may file specimen signatures in lieu of seals. Nonresident shareholders are required to appoint a standing proxy in Japan or designate a mailing address in Japan. The registration of transfer and the application for reduced withholding tax on dividends can usually be handled by a standing proxy. See “Taxation—Japanese Taxation.” Japanese securities companies and commercial banks customarily will act as standing proxies and provide related services for standard fees.

 

Our transfer agent is Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, located at 4-5, Marunouchi 1-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8212, Japan.

 

In general, there are no limitations on the right to own shares of our common stock, including the rights of nonresidents or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the securities imposed under Japanese law or by our Articles of Incorporation.

 

Settlement of transactions for shares listed on any of the stock exchanges in Japan will normally be effected on the fourth trading day from and including the transaction date. Settlement in Japan shall be made through JASDEC as described above.

 

Distributions of Surplus

 

Ordinary Dividends and Interim Dividends may be distributed by us in cash to shareholders or pledgees of record as of March 31 (in the case of Ordinary Dividends) or September 30 (in the case of Interim Dividends) of each year in proportion to the number of shares held by each shareholder or registered pledgee, as the case may be.

 

We may make distributions of surplus to the shareholders any number of times per fiscal year, subject to certain limitations as described below. Under our Articles of Incorporation, distributions of cash dividends need to be declared by a resolution of the board of directors. Distributions of surplus may be made in cash or in kind in proportion to the number of shares held by respective shareholders. A resolution of the board of directors authorizing a distribution of surplus must specify the kind and aggregate book value of the assets to be distributed, the manner of allocation of such assets to shareholders, and the effective date of the distribution. If a distribution of surplus is to be made in kind, we may, pursuant to a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, grant a right to the shareholders to require us to make such distribution in cash instead of in kind. If no such right is granted to shareholders, the relevant distribution of surplus must be approved by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders.

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation, if Ordinary Dividends are distributed for common shares, we treat the shareholders or share pledgees registered or recorded on the Register of Shareholders as of March 31 of each year as the people having rights to receive such dividends. In case of the distribution of Interim Dividends, we distribute these to the shareholders or share pledgees registered or recorded on the Register of Shareholders as of September 30 each year. Dividends or other distributable assets shall not incur interest thereon. If the relevant distributed assets are not received within a full three years from the date on which the distribution of relevant distributed assets became effective, we may be released from its obligation to distribute such assets.

 

132


Table of Contents

Under the Companies Act, when we make distributions of surplus, if the sum of our capital reserve (shihonjunbikin) and earned surplus reserve (riekijunbikin) is less than one-quarter of our stated capital, we must, until such sum reaches one-quarter of the stated capital, set aside in our capital reserve and/or earned surplus reserve an amount equal to one-tenth of the amount of surplus so distributed as required by ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

The amount of surplus at any given time must be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

A + B + C + D – (E + F + G)

 

In the above formula:

 

  “A” = the total amount of other capital surplus and other earnings surplus, each such amount being that appearing on our nonconsolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year;

 

  “B” = (if we have disposed of our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of the consideration for such treasury stock received by us less the book value thereof;

 

  “C” = (if we have reduced our stated capital after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of such reduction less the portion thereof that has been transferred to capital reserve or earned surplus reserve (if any);

 

  “D” = (if we have reduced our capital reserve or earned surplus reserve after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of such reduction less the portion thereof that has been transferred to stated capital (if any);

 

  “E” = (if we have cancelled our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the book value of such treasury stock;

 

  “F” = (if we have distributed surplus to our shareholders after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of the assets distributed to shareholders by way of such distribution of surplus;

 

  “G” = certain other amounts set forth in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, including (if we have reduced surplus and increased stated capital, capital reserve or earned surplus reserve after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of such reduction and (if we have distributed surplus to our shareholders after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount set aside in capital reserve or earned surplus reserve (if any) as required by ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

Under the Companies Act, the aggregate book value of surplus distributed by us may not exceed a prescribed distributable amount, as calculated on the effective date of such distribution. Our distributable amount at any given time shall be the amount of surplus less the aggregate of: (a) the book value of our treasury stock; (b) the amount of consideration for any of our treasury stock disposed of by us after the end of the last fiscal year; and (c) certain other amounts set forth in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, including (if the total of the one-half of goodwill and the deferred assets exceeds the total of stated capital, capital reserve and earned surplus reserve, each such amount being that appearing on our nonconsolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year) all or certain part of such exceeding amount as calculated in accordance with the ordinances of the Ministry of Justice. If we have opted to become a company that applies the restriction on distributable amounts on a consolidated basis (renketsu haito kisei tekiyo kaisha), we will further deduct from the amount of surplus a certain amount which is calculated based on our nonconsolidated and consolidated balance sheets as of the end of the last fiscal year as provided in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

If we have prepared interim financial statements as described below after the end of the last fiscal year, and if such interim financial statements have been approved by our board of directors or (if so required) by a general meeting of our shareholders, then the distributable amount must be adjusted to take into account the amount of profit or loss as set forth in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice, and the amount of consideration for any of our

 

133


Table of Contents

treasury stock disposed of by us, during the period in respect of which such interim financial statements have been prepared. Under the Companies Act, we are permitted to prepare nonconsolidated interim financial statements consisting of a balance sheet as of any date subsequent to the end of the last fiscal year and an income statement for the period from the first day of the current fiscal year to the date of such balance sheet. Interim financial statements prepared by us must be reviewed by our accounting auditor, as required by an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice.

 

In Japan, the ex-dividend date and the record date for dividends precede the date of determination of the amount of the dividend to be paid. The price of the shares generally goes ex-dividend on the second business day prior to the record date.

 

Capital and Reserves

 

When we issue new shares, the amount of the cash or assets paid or contributed by subscribers for the new shares (with some exceptions) is required to be accounted for as stated capital, although we may account for an amount not exceeding one-half of the cash or assets as capital reserve by resolutions of the board of directors.

 

We may at any time transfer the whole or any part of our additional paid-in capital and legal reserve to stated capital by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. The whole or any part of surplus which may be distributed as Ordinary Dividends or Interim Dividends may also be transferred to stated capital by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. We may, by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders (in the case of the reduction of stated capital, a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders, see “Voting Rights”) reduce stated capital, additional paid-in capital and/or legal reserve.

 

Stock Splits

 

We may at any time split the shares into a greater number of shares by resolution of the board of directors. When the board of directors resolves on the split of shares, it may also amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to be issued in proportion to the relevant stock split. We must give public notice of the stock split, specifying the record date therefore, not less than two weeks prior to such record date.

 

On October 26, 2012, the board of directors adopted a resolution on a ten-for-one stock split, effective as of April 1, 2013. The record date for the stock was one day prior to the effective date of the stock split. Our Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized share capital to cover the number of shares increased by the stock split, which amendment became effective simultaneously with the effectiveness of the stock split.

 

Unit Share System

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that one hundred shares constitute one “unit” of shares. The number of shares constituting a unit may be altered by amending our Articles of Incorporation. The number of shares constituting a unit is not permitted to exceed 1,000 shares.

 

A shareholder may not exercise shareholders’ rights in relation to any shares that it holds that are less than one unit other than the rights set forth below under the Companies Act and the Articles of Incorporation.

 

  (i) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc., when the Company distributes the money, etc. in exchange for acquiring one class of shares subject to terms under which the Company shall acquire all of such class shares;

 

  (ii) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc., in exchange for acquisition of shares subject to terms under which the Company shall acquire such shares;

 

134


Table of Contents
  (iii) The right to receive allocation of shares when the Company allocates its shares without having a shareholder make new payment;

 

  (iv) The right to demand that the Company purchase shares that are less than one Unit held by the shareholder;

 

  (v) The right to receive distribution of remaining assets;

 

  (vi) The right to demand review of the Articles of Incorporation and the Register of Shareholders and delivery of their copies or a document describing registered matters, etc.;

 

  (vii) The right to demand registration or recordation of matters to be registered or recorded on the Register of Shareholders when the shareholder acquired the shares;

 

  (viii) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc. pursuant to reverse stock split, stock split, allocation of stock acquisition right for free (which means that the Company allocates its stock acquisition right without having a shareholder make new payment), distribution of dividends from retained earnings or change of corporate organization;

 

  (ix) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc. to be distributed pursuant to merger, share exchange or share-transfer effected by the Company;

 

  (x) The right to subscribe to Offering Shares and Offering Stock Acquisition Rights on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares held by the shareholder; and

 

  (xi) The right to demand that the Company sell to the shareholder the number of additional shares necessary to make the number of shares of less than one Unit held by the shareholder, equal to one Unit.

 

Under the book-entry transfer system operated by JASDEC, shares constituting less than one unit are generally transferable. Under the rules of the Japanese stock exchanges, however, shares constituting less than one unit do not comprise a trading unit, except in limited circumstances, and accordingly may not be sold on the Japanese stock exchanges.

 

A holder of shares constituting less than one unit may require us to purchase such shares at their market value in accordance with the provisions of our Share Handling Regulations. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that a holder of shares constituting less than one unit may request us to sell to such holder such amount of shares which will, when added together with the shares constituting less than one unit held by such holder, constitute one unit of shares, in accordance with the provisions of the Share Handling Regulations.

The ordinary general meeting of our shareholders is usually held in Tokyo in June of each year. In addition, we may hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders whenever necessary. Notice of a shareholders’ meeting stating the place, time and purpose thereof must be dispatched to each shareholder (or, in the case of a nonresident shareholder, to its resident proxy or mailing address in Japan) having voting rights at least two weeks prior to the date of such meeting. The record date for an ordinary general meeting of shareholders is March 31 of each year. General meetings of shareholders can be called by a director pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors.

 

Any shareholder or group of shareholders with at least 3.0% of the total number of voting rights for a period of six months or longer may require the convocation of a general meeting of shareholders for a particular purpose by showing such a purpose and reason for convocation to one of our directors. Unless such shareholders’ meeting is convened promptly or a convocation notice of a meeting which is to be held not later than eight weeks from the day of such demand is dispatched, the requiring shareholder may, upon obtaining a court approval, convene such shareholders’ meeting.

Table of Contents

Any shareholder or group of shareholders holding at least 300 voting rights or 1.0% of the total number of voting rights for six months or longer may propose a matter to be considered at a general meeting of shareholders by submitting a written request to one of our directors at least eight weeks prior to the date of such meeting.

 

Under the Companies Act, any of minimum percentages, time periods and number of voting rights necessary for exercising the minority shareholder rights described above may be decreased or shortened if the articles of incorporation of a joint stock corporation so provide.

 

Voting Rights

 

A holder of shares constituting one or more units is entitled to one vote for each unit. However, we do not have voting rights with respect to our own shares and if we directly or indirectly own 25% or more of voting rights of a corporate or other entity which is a shareholder, such corporate shareholder cannot exercise its voting rights. Except as otherwise provided by law or in our Articles of Incorporation, a resolution can be adopted at a general meeting of shareholders by a majority of the number of voting rights represented at the meeting. The quorum for election of directors is one-third of the total number of voting rights. Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our shareholders may exercise their voting rights through proxies, provided that the proxies are also shareholders having voting rights.

 

Under the Companies Act and our Articles of Incorporation, any amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (except for certain amendments, see “Stock Splits”) and certain other instances require approval by a “special resolution” of shareholders, where the quorum is one-third of the total number of voting rights and the approval by at least two-thirds of the number of voting rights represented at the meeting is required. Other instances requiring such a “special resolution” include (i) the reduction of its stated capital, (ii) the removal of a director, (iii) the dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, merger and corporate split or (iv) the formation of a parent company by way of share exchange or share transfer, (v) the transfer of the whole or a substantial part of its business, (vi) the acquisition of the whole business of another company, (vii) the issue to persons other than the shareholders of new shares at a “specially favorable” price or the issue or transfer to persons other than the shareholders of stock acquisition rights (including those incorporated in bonds with stock acquisition rights) under “specially favorable” conditions, (vii) consolidation of shares and (ix) acquisition of its own shares from a specific party other than its subsidiaries.

 

Subscription Right

 

Holders of the shares have no pre-emptive rights. The board of directors may, however, determine that shareholders be given subscription rights to new shares, in which case such rights must be given on uniform terms to all shareholders as of a record date of which not less than two weeks’ prior public notice must be given. The issue price of such new shares must be paid in full.

 

Stock Acquisition Rights

 

We may issue stock acquisition rights (shinkabu yoyakuken) and bonds with stock acquisition rights (shinkabu yoyakuken-tsuki shasai). Except where the issue would be on “specially favorable” conditions, the issue of stock acquisition rights or bonds with stock acquisition rights may be authorized by a resolution of the board of directors. Upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights, the holder of such rights may acquire shares by way of payment of the applicable exercise price or, if so determined by a resolution of the board of directors, by way of substitute payments in lieu of redemption of the bonds. If our Articles of Incorporation prohibit us from delivering shares, it will pay a cash payment equal to the market value of the shares.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of our liquidation, the assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes will be distributed among shareholders in proportion to the respective number of shares which they hold.

Reports to Shareholders

 

We currently furnish to our shareholders notices of shareholders’ meetings, annual business reports, including financial statements, and notices of resolutions adopted at the shareholders’ meetings, all of which are in Japanese. Public notice shall be electronic public notice, provided, however, that if the Company is unable to give an electronic public notice due to an accident or any other unavoidable reason, public notices of the Company shall be given in the “Nihon Keizai Shinbun.”

 

Record Date of Register of Shareholders

 

As stated above, March 31 is the record date for the payment of Ordinary Dividends and the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders. In addition, we may set a record date for determining the shareholders entitled to other rights and for other purposes by giving at least two weeks’ prior public notice. Under the Book-Entry Law, JASDEC is required to give us a notice of the names and addresses of the shareholders, the number of shares held by them and other relevant information as of each such record date, and the register of our shareholders shall be updated accordingly.

 

Repurchase of Own Shares

 

We may acquire our shares, including shares of our common stock: (i) by way of purchase on any Japanese stock exchange or by way of tender offer (pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors); (ii) from a specific shareholder other than any of our subsidiaries (pursuant to a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders); or (iii) from any of our subsidiaries (pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors).

 

In the case of (ii) above, any other shareholder of such class may make a request to a director, at least five days prior to the relevant shareholders’ meeting, to include such shareholder as a seller in the proposed purchase. However, no such right will be available if the relevant class of shares is listed on any Japanese stock exchange and the purchase price or any other consideration to be received by the relevant specific shareholder does not exceed the then market price of the shares calculated in a manner set forth in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

Any such acquisition of our shares must satisfy certain requirements that the total amount of the purchase price may not exceed the distributable amount, as described in “—Distributions of Surplus.” We may hold our shares acquired in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, and may generally cancel such shares by a resolution of the board of directors, although the disposal of such shares is subject to the same proceedings for the issuance of new shares, in general.

 

Stock Options

 

Under the Companies Act, a stock option plan is available by issuing stock acquisition rights.

 

Generally, a stock option plan may be adopted by a resolution of the board directors. However, if the conditions of such stock acquisition rights are “specially favorable,” a special resolution at a general meeting of shareholders is required. The special resolution must set forth the class and number of shares to be issued or transferred on exercise of the options, the exercise price, the exercise period and other terms of the options.

 

MATERIAL CONTRACTS

 

None.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND OTHER REGULATIONS

 

Foreign Exchange

 

The Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law of Japan, as amended, and the cabinet orders and ministerial ordinances thereunder (the “Foreign Exchange Regulations”) govern the acquisition and holding of shares of capital stock of ORIX by “exchange nonresidents” and by “foreign investors” (as defined below). The Foreign Exchange Regulations currently in effect do not, however, regulate transactions between exchange nonresidents who purchase or sell shares outside Japan for non-Japanese currencies.

 

“Exchange nonresidents” are defined as individuals who are not resident in Japan and corporations whose principal offices are located outside Japan. Generally, the branch and other offices of nonresident corporations located within Japan are regarded as residents of Japan and branch and other offices of Japanese corporations located outside Japan are regarded as exchange nonresidents. “Foreign investors” are defined to be (i) individuals who are exchange nonresidents, (ii) corporations which are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside Japan, and (iii) corporations (1) of which 50% or more of their voting rights are held, directly or indirectly, by (i) and/or (ii) or (2) a majority of the officers (or officers having the power of representation) of which are nonresident individuals.

 

In general, the acquisition of a Japanese company’s stock shares (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) by an exchange nonresident from a resident of Japan is not subject to any prior filing requirements. In certain limited circumstances, however, prior notification or report to the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers for an acquisition of this type may be required. While prior notification, as described above, is not required, in the case where a resident of Japan transfers shares of a Japanese company (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) for consideration exceeding ¥100 million to an exchange nonresident, the resident of Japan who transfers the shares is required to report the transfer to the Minister of Finance within 20 days from the date of the transfer, unless the transfer was made through a bank, securities company or financial future trader licensed under the Japanese laws.

 

If a foreign investor acquires shares of a Japanese company listed on a Japanese stock exchange (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) or that are traded on an over-the-counter market in Japan and as a result of the acquisition the foreign investor in combination with any existing holdings directly or indirectly holds 10% or more of the issued shares of the relevant company, the foreign investor is, in general, required to report such acquisition to the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers by the 15th day of the calendar month following the date of such acquisition. In certain exceptional cases, prior notification is required with respect to such an acquisition.

 

The acquisition of shares by exchange nonresidents by way of stock split is not subject to the foregoing notification requirements.

 

Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, dividends paid on, and the proceeds of sales in Japan of, Shares held by nonresidents of Japan may in general be converted into any foreign currency and repatriated abroad.

 

Large Shareholdings Report

 

The Financial Instruments and Exchange Act requires any person who has become, beneficially and solely or jointly, a holder of more than 5% of the total issued shares of capital stock of a company listed on any Japanese financial instruments exchange (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) or whose shares are traded on the over-the-counter markets in Japan, to file with the Prime Minister within five business days a report concerning such shareholdings. An alteration report must also be made in respect of any subsequent change of 1% or more in any such holding or any change in material matters set out in reports previously filed, with certain exceptions. For this purpose, shares issuable to such person upon his exchange of exchangeable securities or exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights are taken into account in determining both the size of his holding and the issuer’s total issued share capital.

 

138


Table of Contents

Filing of Share Acquisition Plan

 

The Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade requires any company (including a foreign company) which crosses certain domestic sales thresholds and newly acquires a holder of more than 20% or 50% of the total issued voting shares of capital stock (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) or the shares of a company (including a foreign company) which meets certain conditions, to file a share acquisition plan concerning such shares with the Fair Trade Commission at least 30 days prior to the closing or the acquisition.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY AND DIVIDENDS

 

ORIX has paid dividends on the Shares on an annual basis in each year since 1967. With the adoption of a “Company with Committees” board model in June 2003, the board of directors has been responsible for setting the annual dividend per common share since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The board of directors approves annual dividends at the board of directors’ meeting customarily held in May of each year. Following such approval, dividends are paid to holders of record as of the preceding March 31. We have implemented an interim dividend starting from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 (dividend calculation based on the retained earnings recorded on September 30, 2015).

 

The following table shows the amount of dividends applicable to fiscal year per share for each of the fiscal years indicated, which amounts are translated into dollars per ADS at the noon buying rate for Japanese yen in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies on the relevant dividend payment date as published by the Federal Reserve Bank. On April 1, 2013, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of common stock held by shareholders registered on the Company’s register of shareholders as of March 31, 2013. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per one ADS to five underlying shares per one ADS. In the following tables and elsewhere in this document unless indicated otherwise, numbers of shares of ORIX’s common stock, per share, including price per share, information for ORIX’s common stock and ORIX’s ADS information in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split on April 1, 2013.

ORIX aims to increase shareholder value by utilizing profits earned from business activities that were secured primarily as retained earnings, to strengthen its business foundation and make investments for future growth. At the same time, ORIX strives to make stable and sustainable distribution of dividends at the level in line with its business performance.

 

Based on this fundamental policy, the annual dividend is 52.25 yen per share (interim dividend paid was 23.00 yen per share and year-end dividend is 29.25 yen per share) from 45.75 yen per share in the previous fiscal year.

 

For the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, we will continue to focus on the optimal balance of securing capital for investment in future profit growth and providing an appropriate level of dividends to shareholders. The interim dividend for the next fiscal year is projected at 27.00 yen per share. The year-end dividend for the next fiscal year is to be determined.

With regards to the decision of share buyback, ORIX aims to act with flexibility and swiftness while considering various factors such as the adequate level of the Company’s retained earnings, the soundness of financial condition and external factors such as changes in the business environment and share price valuation and its trend.

 

Pursuant to the amendment to the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation, dividends paid to U.S. Holders of Shares or ADSs are generally subject to a Japanese withholding tax. The tax rate can be found in “Item 10 TAXATION, JAPANESE TAXATION—Shares.

TAXATION

 

JAPANESE TAXATION

 

The following is a summary of the principal Japanese tax consequences for owners of the Shares or ADSs who are nonresident individuals of Japan or non-Japanese corporations without a permanent establishment in Japan (“nonresident Holders”). The statements regarding Japanese tax laws set forth below are based on the laws in force and as interpreted by the Japanese taxation authorities as of the date hereof and are subject to changes in the applicable Japanese laws or conventions for the avoidance of double taxation occurring after that date. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations that may apply to a particular investor and potential investors are advised to consult with their own tax advisors to satisfy themselves as to:

 

   

the overall tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Shares or ADSs, including specifically the tax consequences under Japanese law;

 

   

the laws of the jurisdiction of which they are resident; and

 

   

any tax treaty between Japan and their country of residence.

 

Shares

 

Generally, a nonresident Holder is subject to Japanese withholding tax on dividends on Shares or ADSs paid by us. Stock splits are not subject to Japanese income or corporation tax.

 

Pursuant to the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation and the Act on Special Measures Concerning the Securing of Financial Resources for Reconstruction Measures Involving the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Japanese withholding tax rate applicable to dividends on Shares or ADSs paid to nonresident Holders by us is 15.315% for dividends. However, where an individual nonresident Holder who holds 3% or more of the total number of shares issued by us, the withholding tax rate applicable will be 20.42% for dividends. Japan has entered into income tax treaties, conventions and agreements where this withholding tax rate is, in some cases, reduced to a lower percentage for portfolio investors. Nonresident Holders who are entitled under an applicable treaty, convention, or agreement to this reduced Japanese withholding tax rate are required to submit an Application Form for the Income Tax Convention regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax on Dividends in advance through us to the relevant Japanese tax authority before the payment of dividends. A standing proxy for a nonresident Holder may provide such application service. Nonresident Holders who do not submit an application in advance will be entitled to claim the refund from the relevant Japanese tax authority of those withholding taxes withheld in excess of the rate of an applicable tax treaty.

 

The Convention between the United States of America and Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “Tax Convention”) provides for a maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax which may be imposed on dividends paid to an eligible United States resident not having a permanent establishment in Japan. Under the Tax Convention, the maximum withholding rate is generally limited to 10% of the relevant dividends.

 

Gains derived from the sale outside Japan of Shares or ADSs by a nonresident Holder, are, in general, not subject to Japanese income or corporation taxes.

 

Japanese inheritance and gift taxes, at progressive rates, may be payable by an individual who has acquired Shares or ADSs as a legatee, heir or donee.

 

UNITED STATES TAXATION

 

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of Shares or ADSs held as capital assets by U.S. Holders (described below).

 

141


Table of Contents

This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a U.S. holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances (including the application of the provisions of the code known as the Medicare contribution tax) or to holders subject to special rules, such as:

 

   

certain financial institutions;

 

   

insurance companies;

 

   

dealers and traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;

 

   

persons holding Shares or ADSs as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction;

 

   

persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

tax-exempt entities, including “individual retirement accounts” and “Roth IRAs”;

 

   

regulated investment companies;

 

   

persons that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company;

 

   

persons holding the shares or ADSs in connection with a trade or business carried on outside the United States; or

 

   

persons who acquired Shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation.

 

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding Shares or ADSs and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of Shares or ADSs.

 

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, and the Tax Convention, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this annual report may affect the tax consequences described herein. It is also based in part on representations by the depositary and assumes that each obligation under the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

 

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Shares or ADSs that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof; or

 

   

an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

 

We believe we may have been a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for the year to which this annual report relates. However, because of uncertainties in the manner of application of the PFIC rules, including uncertainties as to the valuation and proper characterization of certain of our assets as passive or active, our PFIC status is uncertain. In addition, we may be a PFIC in the foreseeable future.

 

Persons considering the purchase of Shares or ADSs should consult their tax advisors with regard to the PFIC rules described below as well as the application of other U.S. federal income tax laws relevant to their particular situations and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

 

142


Table of Contents

In general, a U.S. Holder of ADSs will be treated as the owner of the underlying shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if the U.S. Holder exchanges ADSs for the underlying shares represented by those ADSs.

 

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom American depositary shares are released prior to delivery of shares to the depositary (“pre-release”), or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between U.S. Holders and the issuer of the security underlying the American depositary shares, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders of American depositary shares. Accordingly, the creditability of Japanese taxes, described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

Subject to the PFIC rules described below, distributions paid on Shares or ADSs, other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares, will generally be treated as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Assuming that we are a PFIC, dividends paid by us will not be eligible for the preferential dividend tax rate otherwise available to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders. The amount of a dividend will include any amounts withheld by us or our paying agent in respect of Japanese taxes, as discussed above under “Taxation—Japanese Taxation—Shares.” The amount of the dividend will be treated as foreign source dividend income to U.S. Holders and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code.

 

Dividends paid in yen will be included in the income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of the U.S. Holder’s (or, in the case of ADSs, the depositary’s) receipt of the dividend, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize a foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have a foreign currency gain or loss if such holder does not convert the amount of such dividend into U.S. dollars on the date of its receipt. Any foreign currency gain or loss resulting from the conversion of the yen will generally be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

 

Subject to the PFIC rules described below and to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon the U.S. Holder’s circumstances, and subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, Japanese taxes withheld from dividends on Shares or ADSs at a rate not exceeding the applicable rate provided for by the Tax Convention will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder pursuant to the Tax Convention is 10%. As discussed under “Taxation—Japanese Taxation—Shares” above, under current Japanese law, the statutory rate is higher than the maximum Tax Convention rate. Japanese taxes withheld in excess of the rate applicable under the Tax Convention will not be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances. Instead of claiming a credit, U.S. Holders may, upon election, deduct such otherwise creditable Japanese taxes in computing taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

If we are a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Shares or ADSs, and the U.S. Holder has not made a mark-to-market election for the Shares or ADSs, as described below, the holder will be 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. Upon a disposition of Shares or ADSs (including under certain circumstances, a pledge, and under

 

143


Table of Contents

proposed Treasury regulations, a disposition pursuant to certain otherwise tax-free reorganizations) gain recognized by a U.S. Holder would be allocated ratably over its holding period for the Shares or ADSs. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other exchange and to any year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations for such year, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability allocated to such taxable year. Similar rules would apply to any distribution in respect of Shares or ADSs to the extent it exceeds 125 percent of the average of the annual distributions on Shares or ADSs received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter (any such distribution, an “excess distribution”). Any loss realized on a disposition of Shares or ADSs will be capital loss, and will be long-term capital loss if the U.S. Holder held the Shares or ADSs for more than one year. The amount of the loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares or ADSs disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. Such loss will generally be U.S.-source loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

 

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Shares or ADSs, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds Shares or ADSs, even if we cease to meet the threshold requirements for PFIC status.

 

Under certain attribution rules, if we are a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate shares of our subsidiaries that are PFICs and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax according to the rules described above on (i) certain distributions by subsidiary PFICs and (ii) a disposition of shares of a subsidiary PFIC, even though holders have not received the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions directly.

 

If the Shares or ADSs are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange,” a U.S. Holder of Shares or ADSs would be eligible to make a mark-to-market election that would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above. The Shares or ADSs will be treated as “regularly traded” in any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of the Shares or ADSs are traded on a qualified exchange for at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. A “qualified exchange” includes the NYSE, on which our ADSs are traded, and a foreign exchange that is regulated by a governmental authority in which the exchange is located and with respect to which certain other requirements are met. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has not yet identified specific foreign exchanges that are “qualified” for this purpose. Under current law, the mark-to market election may be available to holders of ADSs because the ADSs will be listed on the NYSE, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs will be “regularly traded” for purposes of the mark-to-market election. However, even if a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our Shares or ADSs, a U.S. Holder will not be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to any of our subsidiaries that are PFICs.

 

If a U.S. Holder is eligible and makes the mark-to-market election, the U.S. Holder will include each year, as ordinary income, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over their adjusted basis, and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). If a U.S. Holder validly makes the election, the holder’s basis in the Shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of Shares or ADSs in a year when the Company is a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income.

 

We do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a “qualified electing fund” election, which is sometimes available to shareholders of a PFIC.

 

Special rules apply to determine the foreign tax credit with respect to withholding taxes imposed on excess distributions on shares of a PFIC. These rules could limit the amount of the foreign tax credit that would otherwise have been available.

 

144


Table of Contents

If a U.S. Holder owns Shares or ADSs during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will generally be required to file IRS Form 8621 with its federal income tax return with respect to us and with respect to each of our subsidiaries that is a PFIC, subject to certain exceptions.

 

We urge U.S. Holders to consult their tax advisors concerning our status as a PFIC and the tax considerations relevant to an investment in a PFIC, including the availability and consequences of making the mark-to-market election discussed above.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

 

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities closely held by individuals) may be required to report information relating to their ownership of an interest in certain foreign financial assets, including stock of a non-U.S. person, generally on Form 8938, subject to exceptions (including an exception for financial assets held through a U.S. financial institution). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding their reporting obligations with respect to the Shares or ADSs.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

MARKET RISKS

 

Our primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and risk of market prices in stocks. We enter into derivative transactions to hedge interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. Our risk management for market risk exposure and derivative transactions are described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Risk Management.”

 

The following quantitative information about the market risk of our financial instruments does not include information about financial instruments to which the requirements under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) do not apply, such as investment in direct financing leases, investment in operating leases, and insurance contracts. As a result, the following information does not present all the risks of our financial instruments. We omitted the disclosure of financial instruments for trading purposes because the amount is immaterial.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Many of our assets and liabilities are composed of floating and fixed rate assets and liabilities. Movements in market interest rates affect gains and losses in those assets and liabilities. Accordingly, we endeavor to reduce interest rate risk through techniques such as funding interest rate bearing assets through liabilities with similar interest rate characteristics, e.g., financing floating-rate assets with floating-rate liabilities and financing fixed-rate assets with fixed-rate liabilities.

 

We manage asset and liability through various methods including conducting gains and losses impact analysis and balance sheet fair value analysis when market interest rates fluctuate, constructing balance sheets for fixed rate assets and liabilities, and those for floating rate, testing interest rate sensitivities.

 

The table of interest rate sensitivity for financial instruments summarizes installment loans, investment in securities (floating and fixed rate) and long- and short-term debt. These instruments are further classified under fixed or floating rates. For such items, the principal collection and repayment schedules and the weighted average interest rates for collected and repaid portions are disclosed. Concerning interest rate swaps, under derivative instruments, the estimated notional principal amount for each contractual period and the weighted average of swap rates are disclosed. The average interest rates of financial instruments as of March 31, 2017 were: 4.1% for installment loans, 2.2% for investment in securities (floating and fixed rate), 1.2% for long- and short-term debt and 0.2% for deposits. As of March 31, 2017, the average payment rate of interest rate swaps was 0.9% and the average receipt rate was 0.3%. The average interest rates of financial instruments as of March 31, 2016 were: 4.2% for installment loans, 1.9% for investments in securities (floating and fixed rate), 1.1% for long- and short-term debt and 0.3% for deposits. As of March 31, 2016, the average payment rate of interest rate swaps was 1.0% and the average receipt rate was 0.5%. As of March 31, 2017, there was no material change in the balance or in the average interest rate of financial instruments from March 31, 2016. The table below shows our interest rate risk exposure and the results of our interest rate sensitivity analysis.

The above table excludes “purchased loans,” for which there is which are exposed to interest rate , because it is difficult to estimate the timing and extent of collection of such loans. “Purchased loans” are deteriorated credit loans which we acquire at a discount and for which full collection of all contractually required payments from the debtors is unlikely under ASC 310-30 (“Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”). The total book value of our purchased loans as of March 31, 2017 was ¥24,795 million.

 

Long-term debt (floating rate) in the table above include the amount of the ¥94,000 million of subordinated syndicated loan (hybrid loan, whose maturity date is year 2076) conducted in fiscal 2017, of which ¥60,000 million and ¥34,000 million can be repaid after 5 years and 7 years respectively.

 

We are also exposed to interest rate risks on life insurance businesses, because revenues from life insurance related investment income fluctuates based on changes in market interest rates, while life insurance premiums and costs do not.

Exchange Rate Risk

 

We hold foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and deal in foreign currencies. It is our policy to match balances of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as a means of hedging exchange rate risk. There are, however, cases where a certain part of our foreign currency-denominated investments are not hedged for such risk.

 

We have identified all positions subject to exchange rate including retained earnings accumulated in foreign currencies in our overseas subsidiaries, which is translated to Japanese yen upon consolidation, as a major position subject to exchange rate risk. ORIX shareholders’ equity is accordingly subject to exchange rate risk arising from such translations. For other positions, potential losses in future earnings are calculated using several hypothetical scenarios with 10% changes in the relevant currencies. Based on these scenarios, exchange losses in future earnings were estimated to be ¥1,069 million and ¥635 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The largest such losses were estimated in scenarios where the euro appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar from the rate in effect on March 31, 2016 and 2017.

 

Risk of Market Prices in Stocks

 

We have marketable stocks that are subject to price risk arising from changes in their market prices. Our shareholders’ equity and net income bear risks due to changes in the market prices of these securities. To manage these risks of market price fluctuations, we assume a scenario of a 10% uniform downward movement in stock prices compared with stock prices as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and under such circumstances estimate ¥11,135 million and ¥9,303 million decrease in the fair value of our equity securities as of March 31, 2016 and 2017.

None.

 

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

 

In order to improve the convenience and liquidity of our securities on exchanges where our shares are listed, in accordance with “Action Plan for Consolidating Trading Units” issued in November 2007 by the securities exchanges in Japan, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of shares of its common stock on March 31, 2013, pursuant to which one hundred shares constitutes one unit as of April 1, 2013. The change resulted in no substantive change in trading unit price levels. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per one ADS to five underlying shares per one ADS. The change has not affected ADS unit price levels or other material ADS terms.

 

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2017, the ORIX Group, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the ORIX Group’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of management’s control objectives. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Act, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There has been no change in the ORIX Group’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The internal control over financial reporting process of the ORIX Group was designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

   

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the ORIX Group;

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the ORIX Group are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the ORIX Group’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017 by using the criteria set forth in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2017.

 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by KPMG AZSA LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, who also audited our consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2017, as stated in their attestation report which is included in Item 18 (page F-3).

Item 16G. Corporate Governance

 

Our ADSs have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, since 1998. As an NYSE-listed company, we are required to comply with certain corporate governance standards under Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. However, as a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of certain provisions of Section 303A.

 

Our corporate governance practices differ in certain significant respects from those that U.S. companies must adopt in order to maintain a NYSE listing and, in accordance with Section 303A.11 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, we provide a brief, general summary of such differences.

 

The composition of our board of directors and its committees differs significantly in terms of independence from the composition requirements for boards and committees that U.S. companies must satisfy in order to maintain a NYSE listing. We are not required to meet the NYSE’s independence requirements for individuals on our board of directors or our Nominating, Audit, and Compensation Committees. Under Japanese law, a majority of the membership on our committees must be “outside directors”—a Japanese law concept that shares similarities with the U.S. concept of “independent director.” However, we are not required to include on our board of directors a majority of outside directors, nor are we required to compose our committees exclusively from outside directors. Six of our 12 directors are considered outside directors. We have adopted a written charter for our Compensation Committee that addresses committee member appointment and removal, committee structure and operations, and reporting to the board. However, our Compensation Committee has not retained, or obtained the advice of, a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser.

 

Under the Companies Act, an outside director is a director (i) who is not an executive director, executive officer (shikko-yaku), manager or any other kind of employee (collectively called “Executive Directors and Employees”)of the Company or its subsidiaries and who has not been the Executive Directors and Employees in the past 10 years of the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) who has not been the Executive Directors and Employees of the Company or its subsidiaries for the past 10 years from the assumptions of any of the position of director, accounting advisor, or auditor; (iii) who is not a person with a controlling stake in the management of the Company, such as a holder of 50 percent or more of the Company’s shares, etc., or has not been the Executive Directors and Employees of the parent company of the Company; (iv) who has not been the Executive Directors and Employees of any other company with same parent company; and (v) who has not been the spouse or the kin (within the second degree) of any director, manager or any other kind of important employee of the Company, or a person with a controlling stake in the management of the Company, such as a holder of 50 percent or more of the Company’s shares etc.

 

In addition to differences in composition requirements for our board of directors and its committees, we are not required to:

 

   

make publicly available one or more documents that summarize all aspects of our corporate governance guidelines or prepare a written code that states the objectives, responsibilities, and performance evaluation criteria of our Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees in a manner that satisfies the NYSE’s requirements;

 

   

adopt a code of business conduct and ethics for our directors, officers, and employees that addresses fully the topics necessary to satisfy the NYSE’s requirements;

 

   

hold regularly scheduled executive sessions for our outside directors;

 

   

obtain shareholder approval for all equity compensation plans for employees, directors or executive officers of ORIX or for material revisions to any such plans;

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ORIX Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ORIX Corporation (a Japanese corporation) and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2017. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement Schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated June 29, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ORIX Corporation:

We have audited ORIX Corporation’s (a Japanese corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, included in Item 15 “Controls and Procedures” of the accompanying Form 20-F. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, ORIX Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2017, and our report dated June 29, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

1. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, ORIX Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), except for the accounting for stock splits. Significant accounting and reporting policies are summarized as follows:

(a) Basis of presenting financial statements

The Company and its subsidiaries in Japan maintain their books in conformity with Japanese accounting practices, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and, therefore, reflect certain adjustments to the books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries. The principal adjustments relate to initial direct costs to originate leases and loans, use of a straight-line basis of depreciation for operating lease assets, deferral of life insurance policy acquisition costs, calculation of insurance policy liabilities, accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in business combinations, accounting for contingent consideration in business combinations, accounting for pension plans, accounting for sales of the parent’s ownership interest in subsidiaries, accounting for securitization of financial assets, reflection of the income tax effect on such adjustments and reclassification of discontinued operations.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates, where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence by way of 20%  – 50% ownership or other means, are accounted for by using the equity method. Where the Company holds majority voting interests but noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights to decisions that occur as part of the ordinary course of their business, the equity method is applied. In addition, the consolidated financial statements also include variable interest entities to which the Company and its subsidiaries are primary beneficiaries.

A lag period of up to three months is used on a consistent basis for recognizing the results of certain subsidiaries and affiliates.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has identified ten areas where it believes assumptions and estimates are particularly critical to the financial statements. The Company makes estimates and assumptions to the selection of valuation techniques and determination of assumptions used in fair value measurements, the determination and periodic reassessment of the unguaranteed residual value for direct financing leases and operating leases, the determination and reassessment of insurance policy liabilities and deferred policy acquisition costs, the determination of the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses, the recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived assets, the recognition and measurement of impairment of investment in securities, the determination of the valuation

allowance for deferred tax assets and the evaluation of tax positions, the assessment and measurement of effectiveness in hedging relationship using derivative financial instruments, the determination of benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost and the recognition and measurement of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives.

(d) Foreign currencies translation

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in their functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the entity’s functional currency based on the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date.

The financial statements of overseas subsidiaries and affiliates are translated into Japanese yen by applying the exchange rates in effect at the end of each fiscal year to all assets and liabilities. Income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the fiscal year. The currencies in which the operations of the overseas subsidiaries and affiliates are conducted are regarded as the functional currencies of these companies. Foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) arise from the translation of foreign currency financial statements into Japanese yen.

(e) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or the goods have been delivered to the customer, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the policies as specifically described hereinafter are applied for each of the major revenue items.

Finance Revenues—Finance revenues mainly include revenues for direct financing leases and installment loans. The policies applied to direct financing leases and installment loans are described hereinafter.

(1) Revenues from direct financing leases

Direct financing leases consist of full-payout leases for various equipment types, including office equipment, industrial machinery and transportation equipment. In providing leasing services, the Company and its subsidiaries execute supplemental services, such as paying insurance and handling taxes on leased assets on behalf of lessees. The excess of aggregate lease rentals plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value over the cost of the leased equipment constitutes the unearned lease income to be taken into income over the lease term by using the interest method. The estimated residual values represent estimated proceeds from the disposition of equipment at the time the lease is terminated. Estimates of unguaranteed residual values are based on market values of used equipment, estimates of when and how much equipment will become obsolete, and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment. Initial direct costs are being deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of the related lease by using interest method. The unamortized balance of initial direct costs is reflected as a component of investment in direct financing leases.

(2) Revenues from installment loans

Interest income on installment loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Certain direct loan origination costs, net of origination fees, are being deferred and amortized over the contractual term of the loan as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield using the interest method.

Interest payments received on impaired loans other than purchased loans are recorded as interest income unless the collection of the remaining investment is doubtful at which time payments received are recorded as reductions of principal. For purchased loans, although the acquired assets may remain loans in legal form, collections on these loans often do not reflect the normal historical experience of collecting delinquent accounts, and the need to tailor individual collateral-realization strategies often makes it difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or nature of collections. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries use the cost recovery method of income recognition for such purchased loans regardless of whether impairment is recognized or not.

(3) Non-accrual policy

In common with all classes, past-due financing receivables are receivables for which principal or interest is past-due 30 days or more. Loans whose terms have been modified are not classified as past-due financing receivables if the principals and interests are not past-due 30 days or more in accordance with the modified terms. The Company and its subsidiaries suspend accruing revenues on past-due installment loans and direct financing leases when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more, or earlier, if management determines that their collections are doubtful based on factors such as individual debtors’ creditworthiness, historical loss experience, current delinquencies and delinquency trends. Accrued but uncollected interest is reclassified to investment in direct financing leases or installment loans in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and becomes subject to the allowance for doubtful receivables and probable loan loss process. Cash repayments received on non-accrual loans are applied first against past due interest and then any surpluses are applied to principal in view of the conditions of the contract and obligors. The Company and its subsidiaries return non-accrual loans and lease receivables to accrual status when it becomes probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these loans and receivables, as evidenced by continual payments from the debtors. The period of such continual payments before returning to accrual status varies depending on factors that we consider are relevant in assessing the debtor’s creditworthiness, such as the debtor’s business characteristics and financial conditions as well as relevant economic conditions and trends.

Gains on investment securities and dividendsGains on investment securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded when right to receive dividends is established.

Operating leasesRevenues from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract terms. Investment in operating leases is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated over their estimated useful lives mainly on a straight-line basis. The estimated average useful lives of principal operating lease assets classified as transportation equipment is 9 years, measuring and information-related equipment is 4 years, real estate (other than land) is 29 years and other is 5 years. Depreciation expenses are included in costs of operating leases. Gains or losses arising from dispositions of operating lease assets are included in operating lease revenues.

Estimates of residual values are based on market values of used equipment, estimates of when and the extent to which equipment will become obsolete and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment.

Sales of goods and real estate—

(1) Sales of goods

The Company and its subsidiaries sell to their customers various types of goods, including precious metals and jewels, and aftermarket parts and accessories for vehicles. Revenues from such sales of goods are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, and collectability is reasonably

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer has taken title to the goods and assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Revenues are recognized net of estimated sales returns and incentives.

(2) Real estate sales

Revenues from the sales of real estate are recognized when a contract is in place, a closing has taken place, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property and the Company and its subsidiaries do not have a substantial continuing involvement in the property.

Services incomeRevenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered to the customer, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The policies applied to asset management, servicing and automobile maintenance services are described hereinafter.

(1) Revenues from asset management and servicing

The Company and its subsidiaries provide to our customers investment management services for investments in financial assets, and asset management as well as maintenance and administrative services for investments in real estate properties. The Company and its subsidiaries also perform servicing on behalf of our customers. The Company and its subsidiaries receive fees for those services from our customers.

Revenues from asset management and servicing primarily include management fees, servicing fees, and performance fees. Management and servicing fees are recognized when transactions occur or services are rendered and the amounts are fixed or determinable and collectability of which is reasonably assured. Management fees are calculated based on the predetermined percentages of the market value of the assets under management or net assets of the investment funds in accordance with contracts. Certain subsidiaries recognize revenues from performance fees when earned based on the performance of the asset under management while other subsidiaries recognize revenues from performance fees on an accrual basis over the period in which services are performed. Performance fees are calculated based on the predetermined percentages on the performance of the assets under management in accordance with the contracts.

(2) Revenues from automobile maintenance services

The Company and its subsidiaries provide automobile maintenance services to lessees. Where under terms of the lease or related maintenance agreements the Company and its subsidiaries bear the favorable or unfavorable variability of cost, revenues and expenses are recorded on a gross basis. For those arrangements in which the Company and its subsidiaries do not have substantial risks and rewards of ownership, but instead serve as an agent in collecting from lessees and remitting payments to third parties, the Company and its subsidiaries record revenues net of third-party services costs. Revenues from automobile maintenance services are recognized over the contract period in proportion to the estimated service costs to be incurred.

(f) Insurance and reinsurance transactions

Premium income from life insurance policies, net of premiums on reinsurance ceded, is recognized as earned premiums when due.

Life insurance benefits are recorded as expenses when they are incurred. Policy liabilities and policy account balances for future policy benefits are measured using the net level premium method, based on actuarial estimates of the amount of future policyholder benefits. The policies are characterized as long-duration policies

and mainly consist of whole life, term life, endowments, medical insurance and individual annuity insurance contracts. For policies other than individual annuity insurance contracts, computation of policy liabilities necessarily includes assumptions about mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, future yields on related investments and other factors applicable at the time the policies are written. A certain subsidiary continually evaluates the potential for changes in the estimates and assumptions applied in determining policy liabilities, both positive and negative and uses the results of these evaluations both to adjust recorded liabilities and to adjust underwriting criteria and product offerings.

The insurance contracts sold by the subsidiary also includes variable annuity, variable life and fixed annuity insurance contracts. The subsidiary manages investment assets on behalf of variable annuity and variable life policyholders, which consist of equity securities and are included in investments in securities in the consolidated balance sheets. These investment assets are measured at fair value with realized and unrealized gains or losses recognized in life insurance premiums and related investment income in the consolidated statements of income. The subsidiary elected the fair value option for the entire variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts with changes in the fair value recognized in life insurance costs.

The subsidiary provides minimum guarantees to variable annuity and variable life policyholders under which it is exposed to the risk of compensating losses incurred by the policyholders to the extent contractually required. To mitigate the risk, a portion of the minimum guarantee risk related to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts is ceded to reinsurance companies and the remaining risk is economically hedged by entering into derivative contracts. The reinsurance contracts do not relieve the subsidiary from the obligation as the primary obligor to compensate certain losses incurred by the policyholders, and the default of the reinsurance companies may impose additional losses on the subsidiary. Certain subsidiaries have elected the fair value option for certain reinsurance contracts relating to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, which is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Policy liabilities and policy account balances for fixed annuity insurance contracts are measured based on the single-premiums plus interest based on expected rate and fair value adjustments relating to the acquisition of a subsidiary, less withdrawals, expenses and other charges. The credited interest is recorded in life insurance costs in the consolidated statements of income.

Certain costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, or deferred policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the respective policy periods in proportion to anticipated premium revenue. These deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of first-year commissions, except for recurring policy maintenance costs and certain variable costs and expenses for underwriting policies.

(g) Allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses

The allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses is maintained at a level which, in the judgment of management, is appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in lease and loan portfolios. The allowance is increased by provision charged to income and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Developing the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. In evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance, management considers various factors, including the business characteristics and financial conditions of the obligors, current economic conditions and trends, prior charge-off experience, current delinquencies and delinquency trends, future cash flows expected to be received from the direct financing leases and loans and value of underlying collateral and guarantees. Impaired loans are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance based on the

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. For non-impaired loans, including loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment, and direct financing leases, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate prior charge-off experience segmented by the debtors’ industries and the purpose of the loans, and then develop the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses considering the prior charge-off experience and primarily current economic conditions.

The Company and its subsidiaries charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal considering debtors’ creditworthiness and the liquidation status of collateral.

(h) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company and its subsidiaries perform a recoverability test for long-lived assets to be held and used in operations, including tangible assets and intangible assets being amortized, consisting primarily of office buildings, condominiums, golf courses and other properties under facility operations, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the assets might be impaired. The assets are considered not recoverable when the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. The carrying amount of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than the carrying amount. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate.

(i) Investment in securities

Trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income.

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, except investments which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income by electing the fair value option.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost.

Other securities are recorded at cost or carrying value that reflects equity income and loss based on the Company’s share, except investments which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income by electing the fair value option.

For available-for-sale securities, the Company and its subsidiaries generally recognize losses related to equity securities for which the fair value has been significantly below the acquisition cost (or current carrying value if an adjustment has been made in the past) for more than six months. Also, the Company and its subsidiaries charge against income losses related to equity securities in situations where, even though the fair value has not remained significantly below the carrying value for six months, the decline in the fair value of an equity security is based on the issuer’s specific economic conditions and not just general declines in the related market and where it is considered unlikely that the fair value of the equity security will recover within six months.

For debt securities, where the fair value is less than the amortized cost, the Company and its subsidiaries consider whether those securities are other-than-temporarily impaired using all available information about their

collectability. The Company and its subsidiaries do not consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if (1) the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the debt security, (2) it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and (3) the present value of estimated cash flows will fully cover the amortized cost of the security. On the other hand, the Company and its subsidiaries consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if any of the above mentioned three conditions are not met. When the Company and its subsidiaries deem a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities in earnings if the Company and its subsidiaries intend to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiary will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. However, if the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the Company and its subsidiaries separate the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities into the credit loss component and the non-credit loss component. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes.

For other securities, when the Company and its subsidiaries determine the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company and its subsidiaries reduce the carrying value of the security to the fair value and charge against income losses related to these other securities.

(j) Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is “more likely than not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in Japan and certain foreign tax jurisdictions and recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, and measure tax positions that meet the recognition threshold at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company and its subsidiaries present an unrecognized tax benefit as either a reduction of a deferred tax asset, a reduction of an amount refundable or a liability, based on the intended method of settlement. The Company and its subsidiaries classify penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as part of provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company and certain subsidiaries have elected to file a consolidated tax return for National Corporation tax purposes.

(k) Securitized assets

The Company and its subsidiaries have securitized and sold to investors various financial assets such as lease receivables and loan receivables. In the securitization process, the assets to be securitized are sold to trusts or SPEs that issue asset-backed beneficial interests and securities to the investors.

 

F-18


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

Trusts or SPEs used in securitization transactions are consolidated if the Company and its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the trusts or SPEs, and the transfers of the financial assets to those consolidated trusts and SPEs are not accounted for as sales. Assets held by consolidated trusts or consolidated SPEs continue to be accounted for as lease receivables or loan receivables, as they were before the transfer, and asset-backed beneficial interests and securities issued to the investors are accounted for as debt. When the Company and its subsidiaries have transferred financial assets to a transferee that is not subject to consolidation, the Company and its subsidiaries account for the transfer as a sale if control over the transferred assets is surrendered.

A certain subsidiary originates and sells loans into the secondary market, while retaining the obligation to service those loans. In addition, it undertakes obligations to service loans originated by others. The subsidiary recognizes servicing assets if it expects the benefit of servicing to more than adequately compensate it for performing the servicing or recognizes servicing liabilities if it expects the benefit of servicing to less than adequately compensate it. These servicing assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently accounted for using the amortization method whereby the assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss. On a quarterly basis, servicing assets and liabilities are evaluated for impairment or increased obligations. The fair value of servicing assets and liabilities is estimated using an internal valuation model, or by obtaining an opinion of value from an independent third-party vendor. Both methods are based on calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration discount rates, prepayments and servicing costs. The internal valuation model is validated at least semiannually through third-party valuations.

(l) Derivative financial instruments

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting treatment of subsequent changes in the fair value depends on their use, and whether they qualify as effective “hedges” for accounting purposes. Derivatives for the purpose of economic hedge that are not qualified for hedge accounting are adjusted to fair value through the consolidated statements of income. If a derivative is a hedge, then depending on its nature, changes in its fair value will be either offset against changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities through the consolidated statements of income, or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

If a derivative is held as a hedge of the variability of fair value related to a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge), changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

If a derivative is held as a hedge of the variability of cash flows related to a forecasted transaction or a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge), changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that the derivative is effective as a hedge, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.

If a derivative is held as a hedge of a foreign-currency fair-value or cash-flow hedge (“foreign currency” hedge), changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in either earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether the hedged transaction is a fair-value hedge or a cash-flow hedge. However, if a derivative is used as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, changes in its fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments account within other comprehensive income (loss).

The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify as a hedge are recorded in earnings.

 

F-19


Table of Contents

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

For all hedging relationships that are designated and qualified as hedging, at inception the Company and its subsidiaries formally document the details of the hedging relationship and the hedged activity. The Company and its subsidiaries also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedge relationship. The Company and its subsidiaries cease hedge accounting prospectively when the derivative no longer qualified for hedge accounting.

(m) Pension plans

The Company and certain subsidiaries have contributory and non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. The costs of pension plans are accrued based on amounts determined using actuarial methods, with assumptions of discount rate, rate of increase in compensation level, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and others.

The Company and its subsidiaries also recognize the funded status of pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in that funded status are recognized in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes.

(n) Stock-based compensation

The Company and its subsidiaries measure stock-based compensation expense as consideration for services provided by employees based on the fair value of the grant date. The costs are recognized over the requisite service period.

(o) Stock splits

Stock splits implemented prior to October 1, 2001 had been accounted for by transferring an amount equivalent to the par value of the shares from additional paid-in capital to common stock as required by the Japanese Commercial Code (the “Code”) before amendment. However, no such reclassification was made for stock splits when common stock already included a portion of the proceeds from shares issued at a price in excess of par value. This method of accounting was in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

As a result of a revision to the Code before amendment effective on October 1, 2001 and the Companies Act implemented on May 1, 2006, the above-mentioned method of accounting required by the Code became unnecessary.

In the United States, stock splits in comparable circumstances are considered to be stock dividends and are accounted for by transferring from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital amounts equal to the fair market value of the shares issued. Common stock is increased by the par value of the shares and additional paid-in capital is increased by the excess of the market value over par value of the shares issued. Had such stock splits made prior to October 1, 2001 been accounted for in this manner, additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2017 would have increased by approximately ¥24,674 million, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. Total ORIX Corporation shareholders’ equity would remain unchanged. Stock splits on May 19, 2000 were excluded from the above amounts because the stock splits were not considered to be stock dividends under U.S. GAAP.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits placed with banks and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(q) Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of trust accounts under securitization programs and real estate, deposits related to servicing agreements, deposits collected on the underlying assets and applied to non-recourse loans and others.

(r) Property under facility operations

Property under facility operations consist primarily of operating facilities (including golf courses, hotels and training facilities and senior housings) and environmental assets (including mega solar), which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and depreciation is calculated mainly on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expenses in fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 were ¥13,239 million, ¥16,321 million and ¥20,976 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was ¥67,055 million and ¥85,255 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. Estimated useful lives range up to 50 years for buildings, up to 60 years for land improvement and up to 30 years for others.

(s) Trade notes, accounts and other receivable

Trade notes, accounts and other receivable primarily include accounts receivables in relation to sales of assets to be leased, inventories and other assets and payment made on behalf of lessees for property tax, maintenance fees and insurance premiums in relation to direct financing lease contracts.

(t) Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of residential condominiums under development, completed residential condominiums (including those waiting to be delivered to buyers under the contract for sale), and merchandise for sale. Residential condominiums under development are carried at cost less any impairment losses, and completed residential condominiums and merchandises for sale are stated at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. The cost of inventories that are unique and not interchangeable is determined on the specific identification method and the cost of other inventories is principally determined on the average cost method. As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, residential condominiums under development were ¥81,859 million and ¥60,920 million, respectively, and completed residential condominiums and merchandises for sale were ¥58,091 million and ¥56,943 million, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries recorded ¥5,241 million of write-downs principally on residential condominiums under development for fiscal 2015, resulting from an increase in development costs. These write-downs were principally recorded in cost of goods and real estate sold and included in the Real Estate segment. The Company and its subsidiaries recorded ¥168 million and ¥916 million of write-downs principally on completed residential condominiums and merchandise for sale for fiscal 2016 and 2017, respectively, primarily resulting from a decrease in expected sales price. These write-downs were principally recorded in costs of goods and real estate sold and included in the Investment and Operation segment.

(u) Office facilities

Office facilities are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a declining-balance basis or straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expenses in fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 were ¥4,711 million, ¥5,110 million and ¥5,380 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was ¥45,310 million and ¥47,534 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. Estimated useful lives range up to 65 years for buildings and fixtures and up to 20 years for machinery and equipment.

(v) Other assets

Other assets consist primarily of the excess of purchase prices over the net assets acquired in acquisitions (goodwill) and other intangible assets, reinsurance recoverables in relation to reinsurance contracts, deferred insurance policy acquisition costs which are amortized over the contract periods, leasehold deposits, advance payments made in relation to purchases of assets to be leased and construction of real estate for operating lease, prepaid benefit cost, derivative assets and deferred tax assets.

(w) Goodwill and other intangible assets

The Company and its subsidiaries account for all business combinations using the acquisition method. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize intangible assets acquired in a business combination apart from goodwill if the intangible assets meet one of two criteria—either the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. Goodwill is measured as an excess of the aggregate of consideration transferred and the fair value of noncontrolling interests over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the business combination measured at fair value. The Company and its subsidiaries would recognize a bargain purchase gain when the amount of recognized net assets exceeds the sum of consideration transferred and the fair value of noncontrolling interests. In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company and its subsidiaries remeasure their previously held equity interest at their acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in earnings.

The Company and its subsidiaries perform an impairment test for goodwill and any intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives at least annually. Additionally, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, the Company and its subsidiaries test for impairment when such events or changes occur.

The Company and its subsidiaries have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company and its subsidiaries perform the qualitative assessment for some goodwill but bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the two-step impairment test for other goodwill. For the goodwill for which the qualitative assessment is performed, if, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company and/or subsidiaries determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company and/or subsidiaries do not perform the two-step impairment test. However, if the Company and/or subsidiaries conclude otherwise or determine to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company and/or subsidiaries proceed to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The first step of goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, calculates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit falls below its carrying amount, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company and its subsidiaries test the goodwill either at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segments.

The Company and its subsidiaries have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company and its subsidiaries perform the qualitative assessment for some indefinite-lived intangible assets but bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment for other indefinite-lived intangible assets. For those indefinite-lived assets for which the qualitative assessment is performed, if, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company and/or subsidiaries conclude that it is not more likely than not that the

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

indefinite-lived asset is impaired, then the Company and/or subsidiaries do not perform the quantitative impairment test. However, if the Company and/or subsidiaries conclude otherwise or determine to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company and/or subsidiaries calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and tested for impairment. The Company and its subsidiaries perform a recoverability test for the intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The intangible assets are considered not recoverable when the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets, and the net carrying amount of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than the carrying amount.

(x) Trade notes, accounts and other payable

Trade notes, accounts and other payable include primarily accounts payable in relation to purchase of assets to be leased, merchandise for sale and other assets, accounts payable in relation to construction work of residential condominiums and deposits received mainly for withholding income tax.

(y) Other Liabilities

Other liabilities include primarily interest, bonus accrued expense and accrued benefit liability, advances received from lessees in relation to lease contracts, deposit received from real estate transaction and derivative liabilities.

(z) Capitalization of interest costs

The Company and its subsidiaries capitalized interest costs of ¥1,369 million, ¥1,639 million and ¥1,066 million in fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, related to specific long-term development projects.

(aa) Advertising

The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. The total amounts charged to advertising expense in fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 were ¥20,329 million, ¥21,276 million and ¥25,309 million, respectively.

(ab) Discontinued operations

In April 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”—ASC 205 (“Presentation of Financial Statements”) and ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to report a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if it represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries early adopted this Update on April 1, 2014. The Company and its subsidiaries report a disposal of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift which has (or will have) a major effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ operations and financial results when the component or group of components is disposed by sale or classified as held for sale on or after April 1, 2014.

Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 does not apply retrospectively to a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries which have previously

been reported in the financial statements. Accordingly, during fiscal 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to report gains on sales and the results of operations of subsidiaries and business units, which were classified as held for sale at March 31 2014, as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

(ac) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of outstanding common stock in each period and diluted earnings per share, which reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts issuing common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

(ad) Additional acquisition and partial sale of the parent’s ownership interest in subsidiaries

Additional acquisition of the parent’s ownership interest in subsidiaries and partial sale of such interest where the parent continues to retain control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. On the other hand, in a transaction that results in the loss of control, the gain or loss recognized in income includes the realized gain or loss related to the portion of ownership interest sold and the gain or loss on the remeasurement to fair value of the interest retained.

(ae) Redeemable noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests in a certain subsidiary are redeemable preferred shares which are subject to call and put rights upon certain shareholder events. As redemption of the noncontrolling interest is not solely in the control of the subsidiary, it is recorded between liabilities and equity on the consolidated balance sheets at its estimated redemption value.

(af) Issuance of stock by an affiliate

When an affiliate issues stocks to unrelated third parties, the Company and its subsidiaries’ ownership interest in the affiliate decreases. In the event that the price per share is more or less than the Company and its subsidiaries’ average carrying amount per share, the Company and its subsidiaries adjust the carrying amount of its investment in the affiliate and recognize gain or loss in the consolidated statements of income in the year in which the change in ownership interest occurs.

(ag) New accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued. The core principle of this Update is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue, and in what amount. The five steps to apply the model are:

 

    Identify the contract(s) with a customer

 

    Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

    Determine the transaction price

 

    Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

    Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

This Update requires an entity to disclose more information about contracts with customers than under the current disclosure requirements.

In April 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-10 (“Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued as an amendment of the new revenue standard. This Update adds further guidance on identifying performance obligations and also improves the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606.

In May 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-12 (“Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued as an amendment of the new revenue standard. This Update (1) clarifies the objective of the collectibility criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permits an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specifies that the measurement date for non-cash consideration is contract inception; (4) provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarifies that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarifies that an entity that retrospectively applies ASC 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption.

These Updates are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within the fiscal year. An entity should apply the amendments in these Updates using either a retrospective method or a cumulative-effect method. The entity may elect some optional practical expedients when applying these Updates. The entity using the cumulative-effect method would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying these Updates as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or net assets at the date of initial application. Currently, the Company and its subsidiaries plan to adopt these Updates on April 1, 2018, using the cumulative-effect method. And these Updates require a number of new disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The scope of these Updates excludes lease contracts, financial instruments and other contractual rights and obligations within the scope of other ASC Topics including loans, investments in securities and derivatives and also excludes contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 944 (“Financial Services—Insurance”). Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries’ such revenues will not be affected by these Updates. However, the Company and its subsidiaries have been in process of evaluating the impact of these Updates on our consolidated financial statements around other revenue streams. Based on the Company and its subsidiaries’ initial assessment and best estimates to date, the impact of the application of these Updates will likely result in a change in the timing of revenue recognition and accounting policy for performance fees received from customers regarding asset management business. Currently, certain subsidiaries recognize such fees when earned based on the performance of the asset under management, while other subsidiaries recognize the fees on accrual basis over the period in which services are performed. New guidance requires recognizing such fees as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Other than the impact that have been currently identified, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of these Updates will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position, as well as changes in disclosures required by these Updates.

In June 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-12 (“Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”—ASC 718 (“Compensation—Stock Compensation”)) was issued. This Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2016. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In August 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-13 (“Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity”—ASC 810 (“Consolidation”)) was issued. This Update permits the parent of the consolidated collateralized financing entity (“CFE”) within the scope of this Update to measure the CFE’s financial assets and liabilities based on either the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever has the more observable inputs. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2016. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In August 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 (“Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”—ASC 205-40 (“Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to perform a going concern assessment by evaluating their ability to meet obligations for a look-forward period of one year from the financial statement issuance date (or date the financial statements are available to be issued). Disclosures are required if it is probable an entity will be unable to meet its obligations within the look-forward period. Incremental substantial doubt disclosure is required if the probability is not mitigated by management’s plans. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on this fiscal year end. The Update only relates to certain disclosure requirements and the adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In November 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-16 (“Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity”—ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”)) was issued. This Update requires an issuer or an investor of hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share to determine whether the nature of the host contract is more akin to debt or to equity by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2016. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In January 2015, Accounting Standards Update 2015-01 (“Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”—ASC 225-20 (“Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items”)) was issued. This Update eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP, but does not change the current presentation and disclosure requirements for material events or transactions that are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2016. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In February 2015, Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 (“Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”—ASC 810 (“Consolidation”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to change the way to evaluate whether reporting entities should consolidate limited partnerships and similar legal entities, fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interest in a VIE, and variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting entity require the reporting entity to consolidate the VIE. Additionally, the amendments in this Update rescind the indefinite deferral of FASB Statement No.167 (“Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.46(R)”), included in Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASC 810 (“Consolidation”)) for certain investment

companies and similar entities. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2016. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position. See Note 11 “Variable Interest Entities” where the required disclosure has been provided.

In April 2015, Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”—ASC 835-30 (“Interest—Imputation of Interest”)) was issued. This Update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts or premiums. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update retrospectively to prior period financial statements on April 1, 2016. The effect of the retrospective adoption on the financial position as of March 31, 2016 was a decrease of approximately ¥3,988 million in other assets and a decrease of approximately ¥3,988 million in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

In July 2015, Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 (“Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”—ASC 330 (“Inventory”)) was issued. This Update applies to all inventory except for which is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method, and requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Additionally, this Update defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In September 2015, Accounting Standards Update 2015-16 (“Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”—ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”)) was issued. This Update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2016. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In January 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 (“Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”—ASC 825-10 (“Financial Instruments—Overall”)) was issued. This Update revises accounting related to the classification and measurement of equity investments. This Update also revises the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Additionally, this Update amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application to financial statements of fiscal years or interim periods that have not yet been issued is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments in this Update should be applied by means of cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. And the amendments relate to equity investments without readily determinable fair value are to be applied prospectively. The Company and its subsidiaries will adopt this Update on April 1, 2018. The Company and its subsidiaries continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position, as well as changes in disclosures required by this Update.

In February 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (ASC 842 (“Leases”)) was issued. This Update requires a lessee to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP but with some important changes. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified

retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company and its subsidiaries will adopt this Update on April 1, 2019. The Company and its subsidiaries continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position, as well as changes in disclosures required by this Update.

In March 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-07 (“Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method Accounting”—ASC 323 (“Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures”)) was issued. This Update eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. This Update also requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and requires that an entity that has an available-for sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

In June 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”—ASC 326 (“Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”)) was issued. This Update significantly changes how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The new current expected credit loss model requires companies to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets that are within the scope of this Update. This Update also makes targeted amendments to the current impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early application is permitted for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within the fiscal year. The Company and its subsidiaries continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position, as well as changes in disclosures required by this Update.

In August 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 (“Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”—ASC 230 (“Statement of Cash Flows”) was issued. This Update amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-16 (“Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory”—ASC 740 (“Income Taxes”) was issued. This Update eliminates the exception to defer the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory until the assets are ultimately sold to an outside party and requires the recognition of the current and deferred tax consequences when those transfers

occur. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In October 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-17 (“Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control”—ASC 810 (“Consolidation”) was issued. This Update amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a VIE should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company and its subsidiaries have already adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 and accordingly would be required to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively to all relevant prior periods beginning with the fiscal year in which the amendments in that Update 2015-02 initially were applied. The adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

In November 2016, Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 (“Restricted Cash”—ASC230 (“Statement of Cash Flows”)) was issued. This Update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, Accounting Standards Update 2017-04 (“Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”—ASC350 (“Intangible—Goodwill and Other”)) was issued. This Update eliminates Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test. Instead, goodwill impairments would be measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This Update also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This Update is effective for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operation or financial position will depend on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.

(ah) Elimination of a lag period

Since its acquisition on February 27, 2014, the Company had been consolidating DAIKYO INCORPORATED (hereinafter, “DAIKYO”) on a lag basis. In order to reflect DAIKYO’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in a concurrent manner, the Company eliminated the lag period and has aligned the fiscal year end of DAIKYO with the Company’s fiscal year end of March 31 during fiscal 2015.

Because the elimination of a lag period represents a change in accounting principle, the Company retrospectively adjusted the prior year’s consolidated financial statements for the effects of the lag accounting.

Below are the effects of this change in accounting principle on major line items and earnings per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2015. The segment information in the Note 34 “Segment Information” has been restated giving effect to these changes to conform to DAIKYO’s current fiscal year end.

2. Fair Value Measurements

The Company and its subsidiaries classify and prioritize inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into the following three levels:

Level 1—Inputs of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

The Company and its subsidiaries differentiate between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (“recurring”) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (“nonrecurring”). The Company and its subsidiaries mainly measure certain loans held for sale, trading securities, available-for-sale securities, certain investment funds, derivatives, certain reinsurance recoverables, certain contingent consideration, and variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts at fair value on a recurring basis.

Changes in economic conditions or valuation methodologies may require the transfer of assets and liabilities from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the transfer at the beginning of the quarter during which the transfers occur. The Company and its subsidiaries evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. For fiscal 2016 and 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The following tables present the reconciliation of financial assets and liabilities (net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017:

In fiscal 2015, CMBS in the Americas totaling ¥20,438 million were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2, since the inputs such as trading price and/or bid price became observable due to the market returning to active and the bonds invested being more liquid with actual observable trades of the similar financial instruments and/or active dealer bids. In addition equity securities totaling ¥788 million were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3, since the inputs became unobservable.

In fiscal 2016, equity securities totaling ¥869 million were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2, since the inputs became observable.

In fiscal 2017, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.

The following is a description of the valuation process and the main valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Valuation process

The Company and its subsidiaries determine fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities by using valuation techniques, such as internally developed models, or using third-party pricing information. Internally developed models include the discounted cash flow methodologies and direct capitalization methodologies. To measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities, the Company and its subsidiaries select the valuation technique which best reflects the nature, characteristics and risks of each asset and liability. The appropriateness of valuation methods and unobservable inputs is verified when measuring fair values of the assets and liabilities by using internally developed models. The Company and its subsidiaries also use third-party pricing information to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. In that case, the Company and its subsidiaries verify the appropriateness of the prices by monitoring available information about the assets and liabilities, such as current conditions of the assets or liabilities, as well as surrounding market information. When these prices are determined to be able to

reflect the nature, characteristics and risks of assets and liabilities reasonably, the Company and its subsidiaries use these prices as fair value of the assets and liabilities.

Loans held for sale

Certain loans, which the Company and its subsidiaries have the intent and ability to sell to outside parties in the foreseeable future, are considered held-for-sale. The loans held for sale in the Americas are classified as Level 2, because the Company and its subsidiaries measure their fair value based on a market approach using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets such as treasury rate, swap rate and market spread.

Real estate collateral-dependent loans

The valuation allowance for large balance non-homogeneous loans is individually evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. According to ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”), measurement for impaired loans determined using a present value technique is not considered a fair value measurement. However, measurement for impaired loans determined using the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the collateral-dependent loans are fair value measurements and are subject to the disclosure requirements for nonrecurring fair value measurements.

The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value of the real estate collateral of real estate collateral-dependent loans using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. The Company and its subsidiaries generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions, which may materially affect the fair value of the collateral. Real estate collateral-dependent loans whose fair values are estimated using appraisals of the underlying collateral based on these valuation techniques are classified as Level 3 because such appraisals involve unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates and cap rates as well as future cash flows estimated to be generated from real estate collateral. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or cap rate and a decrease (increase) in the estimated future cash flows would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of real estate collateral-dependent loans.

Investment in operating leases and property under facility operations and land and buildings undeveloped or under construction

Investment in operating leases measured at fair value is mostly real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value of investment in operating leases and property under facility operations and land and buildings undeveloped or under construction using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or the Company’s own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. The Company and its subsidiaries classified the assets as Level 3 because such appraisals involve unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates as well as future cash flows estimated to be generated from the assets or projects. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate and a decrease (increase) in the estimated future cash flows would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of investment in operating leases and property under facility operations and land and buildings undeveloped or under construction.

Trading securities, Available-for-sale securities and Investment in affiliates

If active market prices are available, fair value measurement is based on quoted active market prices and, accordingly, these securities are classified as Level 1. If active market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as prices for similar assets and accordingly these securities are classified as Level 2. If market prices are not available and there are no observable inputs, then fair value is estimated by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies and broker quotes. Such securities are classified as Level 3, as the valuation models and broker quotes are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market. If fair value is based on broker quotes, the Company and its subsidiaries check the validity of received prices based on comparison to prices of other similar assets and market data such as relevant bench mark indices.

The Company and its subsidiaries classified CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities as Level 2 if the inputs such as trading price and/or bid price are observable. The Company and its subsidiaries classified CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities as Level 3 if the company and subsidiaries evaluate the fair value based on the unobservable inputs. In determining whether the inputs are observable or unobservable, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate various factors such as the lack of recent transactions, price quotations that are not based on current information or vary substantially over time or among market makers, a significant increase in implied risk premium, a wide bid-ask spread, significant decline in new issuances, little or no public information (e.g. a principal-to-principal market) and other factors. With respect to certain CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities, the Company and its subsidiaries judged that there has been increased overall trading activity, and the Company and its subsidiaries classified these securities as Level 2 for those securities that were measured at fair value based on the observable inputs such as trading price and/or bit price. But for those securities that lacked observable trades because they are older vintage or below investment grade securities, the Company and its subsidiaries limit the reliance on independent pricing service vendors and brokers. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries established internally developed pricing models using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow model using Level 3 inputs in order to estimate fair value of these securities and classified them as Level 3. Under the models, the Company and its subsidiaries use anticipated cash flows of the security discounted at a risk-adjusted discount rate that incorporates our estimate of credit risk and liquidity risk that a market participant would consider. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or default rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities.

The Company and its subsidiaries classified the specified bonds as Level 3 because the Company and its subsidiaries measure their fair value using unobservable inputs. Since the specified bonds are not traded in an open market, no relevant observable market data is available. Accordingly the Company and its subsidiaries use the discounted cash flow methodologies that incorporates significant unobservable inputs to measure their fair value. When evaluating the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate based on market interest rates and a risk premium. The future cash flows for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan are estimated based on contractual principal and interest repayment schedules on each of the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan. Since the discount rate is not observable for the specified bonds, the Company and its subsidiaries use an internally developed model to estimate a risk premium considering the value of the real estate collateral (which also involves unobservable inputs in many cases when using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies) and the seniority of the bonds. Under the model, the Company and its subsidiaries consider the loan-to-value ratio and other relevant available information to reflect both the credit risk and the liquidity risk in our own estimate of the risk premium. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the larger the risk premium the Company and its subsidiaries estimate under the model. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs

in Japan rises when the fair value of the collateral real estate rises and the discount rate declines. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan declines when the fair value of the collateral real estate declines and the discount rate rises.

Investment funds

Certain subsidiaries elected the fair value option for investments in some funds. These investment funds for which the fair value option is elected are classified as Level 3, because the subsidiaries measure their fair value using discounting to net asset value based on inputs that are unobservable in the market. A certain subsidiary measures its investment held by the investment company which is owned by the subsidiary at fair value.

Derivatives

For exchange-traded derivatives, fair value is based on quoted market prices, and accordingly, classified as Level 1. For non-exchange traded derivatives, fair value is based on commonly used models and discounted cash flow methodologies. If the inputs used for these measurements including yield curves and volatilities, are observable, the Company and its subsidiaries classify it as Level 2. If the inputs are not observable, the Company and its subsidiaries classify it as Level 3. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of derivatives.

Reinsurance recoverables

Certain subsidiaries have elected the fair value option for certain reinsurance contracts related to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts to partially offset the changes in fair value recognized in earnings of the policy liabilities and policy account balances attributable to the changes in the minimum guarantee risks of the variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. These reinsurance contracts for which the fair value option is elected are classified as Level 3 because the subsidiaries measure their fair value using discounted cash flow methodologies based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

Contingent consideration

The Company will be required to pay certain contingent consideration described in Note 3 “Acquisitions and divestitures” depending on the future performance of a certain asset management business of the acquired subsidiary, and the Company recognizes a liability for the contingent consideration at its estimated fair value. The fair value of the contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 because the Company measures its fair value using a Monte Carlo model based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

Variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts

A certain subsidiary has elected the fair value option for the entire variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts held in order to match earnings recognized for changes in fair value of policy liabilities and policy account balances with the earnings recognized for gains or losses from the investment assets managed on behalf of variable annuity and variable life policyholders, derivative contracts and changes in fair value of reinsurance contracts. The changes in fair value of the variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts are linked to the fair value of the investment in securities managed on behalf of variable annuity and variable life policyholders. These securities consist mainly of equity securities traded in the market and are categorized as trading securities. In addition, variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts are exposed to the minimum guarantee risk, and the subsidiary adjusts the fair value of the underlying investments by incorporating changes

in fair value of the minimum guarantee risk in the evaluation of the fair value of the entire variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. The variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts for which the fair value option is elected are classified as Level 3 because the subsidiary measures the fair value using discounted cash flow methodologies based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

The Company and its subsidiaries generally use discounted cash flow methodologies or similar internally developed models to determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on the fair value.

Certain of these unobservable inputs will have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the asset or liability for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the asset or liability may move in

an opposite direction for a given change in another input. Where multiple inputs are used within the valuation technique of an asset or liability, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change in another input having a potentially muted impact to the overall fair value of that particular asset or liability. Additionally, a change in one unobservable input may result in a change to another unobservable input (that is, changes in certain inputs are interrelated to one another), which may counteract or magnify the fair value impact.

For more analysis of the sensitivity of each input, see the description of the valuation process and the main valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

3. Acquisitions and divestitures

(1) Robeco Groep N.V. acquisition

On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired approximately 90.01% of the total voting equity interests of Robeco Groep N.V. (Head office: Rotterdam, the Netherlands, hereinafter, “Robeco”) from Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (Head office: Utrecht, the Netherlands). As a result, Robeco has become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Furthermore, the Company acquired additional voting equity interests of Robeco during fiscal 2017. Therefore, Robeco has become the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Robeco, a mid-size global asset manager, offers a mix of investment solutions in a broad range of strategies to institutional and private investors worldwide.

In accordance with the share purchase agreement, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration depending on the future performance of a certain section of asset management business for each of Robeco’s fiscal years until the fiscal year ending in December 2015. The estimated fair value of such contingent consideration was ¥5,176 million, which is included in the total consideration transferred. During fiscal 2017, the Company settled ¥2,398 million which had been included in trade notes, accounts and other payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016.

(2) Hartford Life Insurance K.K. acquisition

(Head office: Simsbury, Connecticut, U.S.A.), a subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. as of April 28, 2014 in order to enhance its capital strength and improve the soundness of its management, in view of accelerating its growth.

The total cost of acquisition consideration was ¥98,355 million, of which cost, ¥97,676 million was paid in cash on July 1, 2014. In addition, an additional consideration of ¥679 million was paid in cash on December 3, 2014, as a result of the acquisition price adjustment calculated based on HLIKK’s net assets as of June 30, 2014 pursuant to the share purchase agreement.

Transaction costs were ¥224 million and ¥1,217 million for fiscal 2014 and 2015, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

reasonably calculate their fair values prior to the acquisition date as if the fair value option were retrospectively applied. Thus, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is prepared without applying the fair value option accounting.

(3) Other acquisitions

During fiscal 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired entities other than HLIKK which were individually immaterial business combinations but were considered collectively material. The total cost of the acquisitions consideration was ¥102,621 million which was paid mainly in cash.

The Company allocated the acquisition consideration to the entities’ respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and records the identified assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest based on their fair values at the acquisition date by the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of noncontrolling interest is estimated based on the acquisition consideration taking into account an appraisal value using a binominal option pricing model.

Goodwill with a value of ¥79,872 million and other intangible assets of ¥60,839 million that were identified in connection with the acquisitions are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016. The goodwill is calculated as the excess of considerations transferred and the fair value of noncontrolling interest over the net assets recognized at fair value. The Company calculated the amount of goodwill based on estimates of fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest. The goodwill represents the future growth of the ORIX Group from new revenue streams arising from the consolidation of the entities and synergies with the existing Company’s assets and businesses. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions are included in the Corporate Financial Services segment, the Investment and Operation segment and the Overseas Business segment.

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as though the acquisitions had occurred as of April 1, 2013, the beginning of fiscal 2014:

 

     Millions of yen  
     2015  

Total revenues

   ¥ 2,345,327  

Income from Continuing Operations

     255,219  

Total revenues and income from continuing operations of newly consolidated subsidiaries included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for fiscal 2015 are ¥234,030 million and ¥5,033 million, respectively.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is based on estimates and assumptions, that the Company believes are reasonable and should not be taken as indicative of what the Company’s consolidated financial results would have been had the acquisition been completed on that date.

During fiscal 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired entities for a total cost of the acquisition consideration of ¥51,786 million, which was paid mainly in cash. In accordance with the finalization of purchase price allocation during fiscal 2017, the amount of goodwill was ¥34,319 million and the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The amount of acquired intangible assets other than goodwill was ¥11,238 million. The acquisitions were mainly included in the Investment and Operation segment and the Overseas Business segment.

During fiscal 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired entities for a total cost of the acquisition consideration of ¥97,090 million, which was paid mainly in cash. Goodwill initially recognized in these transactions amounted to ¥33,370 million and the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The amount of acquired intangible assets other than goodwill recognized in these transactions was ¥35,559 million. The Company reflected certain preliminary estimates with respect to the fair value of the underlying net assets of these entities in determining amounts of the goodwill. The amount of the goodwill and intangible assets other than goodwill could possibly be adjusted because certain of these acquisitions were made near the fiscal year-end and the purchase price allocations have not been completed yet. The acquisitions were mainly included in the Investment and Operation segment and the Overseas Business segment.

The Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of ¥5,802 million associated with one of its acquisitions in the Investment and Operation segment for fiscal 2017. The bargain purchase gain could possibly be adjusted because the purchase price allocation has not been completed yet.

The segment in which goodwill is allocated is disclosed in Note 13 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

(4) Divestitures

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net for fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 amounted to ¥20,575 million, ¥57,867 million and ¥63,419 million, respectively. Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net for fiscal 2015 mainly consisted of ¥18,510 million in the Overseas Business segment. Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net for fiscal 2016 mainly consisted of ¥47,994 million in the Overseas Business segment and ¥9,145 million in the Investment and Operation segment. Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net for fiscal 2017 mainly

consisted of ¥30,583 million in the Overseas Business segment, ¥29,378 million in the Investment and Operation segment, and ¥2,234 million in the Corporate Financial Services segment. The details of significant divestitures are as follows.

During fiscal 2015, the Company sold 71.9% of the common shares of a consolidated subsidiary, STX Energy Co., Ltd. (presently GS E&R Corp., hereinafter, “STX Energy”) to a third-party. The Company retains a 25% interest in STX Energy, which became an equity method affiliate from fiscal 2015. The sale of the controlling interest resulted in a gain of ¥14,883 million, and the remeasurement of the retained interest to its fair value resulted in a gain of ¥1,329 million, both of which were included in earnings as gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net during fiscal 2015. The fair value of the retained interest was remeasured based on the sale proceed adjusted for a control premium.

During fiscal 2016, ORIX USA Corporation (hereinafter, “ORIX USA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold 14.7% of its shares of Class A common stock of Houlihan Lokey, Inc. (hereinafter, “Houlihan Lokey”), a subsidiary of ORIX USA, through the initial public offering (hereinafter, “IPO”), concurrently allotting its shares to Houlihan Lokey’s management and other employees. ORIX USA retained a 33.0% interest in Houlihan Lokey’s Class B common stock and thus Houlihan Lokey became an equity method investee during fiscal 2016. The partial sale of the ownership interest resulted in a gain of ¥10,498 million, and the remeasurement of the retained interest to its fair value due to a loss of control resulted in a gain of ¥29,087 million, both of which were included in earnings as gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net for fiscal 2016. The fair value of the retained interest was remeasured based on the sale price in the IPO.

During fiscal 2017, gains on the sale of a subsidiary that runs the automotive supply wholesale business of ORIX USA were included in the amount of ¥30,583 million of gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net in the Overseas Business segment.

mainly consist of long-term debt. Derecognition of these assets and liabilities were not included in cash flows from investing activities or financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows because they did not involve cash transactions.

Certain loans, for which the Company and its subsidiaries have the intent and ability to sell to outside parties in the foreseeable future, are considered held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or market value determined on an individual basis, except loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected. A subsidiary elected the fair value option on its loans held for sale originated on or after October 1, 2011. The subsidiary enters into forward sale agreements to offset the change in the fair value of loans held for sale, and the election of the fair value option allows the subsidiary to recognize both the change in the fair value of the loans and the change in the fair value of the forward sale agreements due to changes in interest rates in the same accounting period.

Loans held for sale are included in installment loans, and the outstanding balances of these loans as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 were ¥21,867 million and ¥22,548 million, respectively. There were ¥20,673 million and ¥19,232 million of loans held for sale as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, measured at fair value by electing the fair value option.

Purchased loans acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries are generally loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable at acquisition that collection of all contractually required payments from the debtors is unlikely and characterized by extended period of non-performance by the borrower, and it is difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or nature of collections. Because such loans are commonly collateralized by real estate, the Company and its subsidiaries may pursue various approaches to maximizing the return from the collateral, including arrangement of borrower’s negotiated transaction of such collateral before foreclosure, the renovation, refurbishment or the sale of such loans to third parties. Accordingly, although the acquired assets may remain loans in legal form, collections on these loans often do not reflect the normal historical experience of collecting delinquent accounts, and the need to tailor individual collateral-realization strategies often makes it difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or nature of collections. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries use the cost recovery method of income recognition for such purchased loans. The total carrying amounts of these purchased loans were ¥30,524 million and ¥24,795 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and the fair value at the acquisition date of purchased loans acquired during fiscal 2016 and 2017 were ¥7,799 million and ¥6,326 million, respectively.

When it is probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be unable to collect all book value, the Company and its subsidiaries consider purchased loans impaired, and a valuation allowance for the excess amount of the book value over the estimated recoverable amount of the loans is provided. For most cases, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the collateral value. Purchased loans for which valuation allowances were provided amounted to ¥11,013 million and ¥7,443 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses. The Company and its subsidiaries classify our portfolio segments by instruments of loans and direct financing leases. Classes of financing receivables are determined based on the initial measurement attribute, risk characteristics of the financing receivables and the method for monitoring and assessing obligors’ credit risk, and are defined as the level of detail necessary for a financial statement user to understand the risks inherent in the financing receivables. Classes of financing receivables generally are a disaggregation of a portfolio segment, and the Company and its subsidiaries disaggregate our portfolio segments into classes by regions, instruments or industries of our debtors.

*4 Other mainly includes foreign currency translation adjustments and decrease in allowance related to deconsolidated subsidiaries.

In developing the allowance for credit losses, the Company and its subsidiaries consider, among other things, the following factors:

 

    business characteristics and financial conditions of obligors;

 

    current economic conditions and trends;

 

    prior charge-off experience;

 

    current delinquencies and delinquency trends; and

 

    value of underlying collateral and guarantees.

The Company and its subsidiaries individually develop the allowance for credit losses for impaired loans. For non-impaired loans, including loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment, and direct financing leases, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate prior charge-off experience as segmented by debtor’s industry and the purpose of the loans and develop the allowance for credit losses based on such prior charge-off experience as well as current economic conditions.

In common with all portfolio segments, a deterioration of debtors’ condition may increase the risk of delay in payments of principal and interest. For loans to consumer borrowers, the amount of the allowance for credit losses is changed by the variation of individual debtors’ creditworthiness and value of underlying collateral and guarantees, and the prior charge-off experience. For loans to corporate other borrowers and direct financing leases, the amount of the allowance for credit losses is changed by current economic conditions and trends, the value of underlying collateral and guarantees, and the prior charge-off experience in addition to the debtors’ creditworthiness.

The decline of the value of underlying collateral and guarantees may increase the risk of inability to collect from the loans and direct financing leases. Particularly for non-recourse loans for which cash flow from real estate is the source of repayment, their collection depends on the real estate collateral value, which may decline as a result of decrease in liquidity of the real estate market, rise in vacancy rate of rental properties, fall in rents and other factors. These risks may change the amount of the allowance for credit losses. For purchased loans, their collection may decrease due to a decline in the real estate collateral value and debtors’ creditworthiness. Thus, these risks may change the amount of the allowance for credit losses.

In common with all portfolio segments, the Company and its subsidiaries charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal, mainly based upon an evaluation of the relevant debtors’ creditworthiness and the liquidation status of collateral.

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize installment loans other than purchased loans and loans to consumer borrowers as impaired loans when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more, or it is probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements due to various debtor conditions, including insolvency filings, suspension of bank transactions, dishonored bills and deterioration of businesses. For non-recourse loans, in addition to these conditions, the Company and its subsidiaries perform an impairment review using financial covenants, acceleration clauses, loan-to-value ratios, and other relevant available information.

For purchased loans, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize them as impaired loans when it is probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be unable to collect book values of the remaining investment due to factors such as a decline in the real estate collateral value and debtors’ creditworthiness since the acquisition of these loans.

The Company and its subsidiaries consider that loans to consumer borrowers, including housing loans, card loans and other, are impaired when terms of these loans are modified as troubled debt restructurings.

Interest payments received on impaired loans other than purchased loans are recorded as interest income unless the collection of the remaining investment is doubtful at which time payments received are recorded as reductions of principal. For purchased loans, although the acquired assets may remain loans in legal form, collections on these loans often do not reflect the normal historical experience of collecting delinquent accounts, and the need to tailor individual collateral-realization strategies often makes it difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or nature of collections. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries use the cost recovery method of income recognition for such purchased loans regardless of whether impairment is recognized or not.

In common with all classes, impaired loans are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. For non-recourse loans, in principle, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the fair value of the collateral securing the loans as they are collateral-dependent. Further for certain non-recourse loans, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows. The fair value of the real estate collateral securing the loans is determined using appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. We generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, we periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions which may materially affect its fair value. For impaired purchased loans, the Company and its subsidiaries develop the allowance for credit losses based on the difference between the book value and the estimated collectible amount of such loans.

Note: Loans held for sale are not included in the table above.

In common with all classes, the Company and its subsidiaries monitor the credit quality indicators as performing and non-performing assets. The category of non-performing assets includes financing receivables for debtors who have filed for insolvency proceedings, whose bank transactions are suspended, whose bills are dishonored, whose businesses have deteriorated, whose repayment is past-due 90 days or more, financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings, and performing assets include all other financing receivables. Regarding purchased loans, they are classified as non-performing assets when considered impaired, while all the other loans are included in the category of performing assets.

Out of non-performing assets, the Company and its subsidiaries consider smaller balance homogeneous loans, including housing loans, card loans and other, which are not restructured and direct financing leases, as 90 days or more past-due financing receivables not individually evaluated for impairment, and consider the others as loans individually evaluated for impairment. After the Company and its subsidiaries have set aside provision for those non-performing assets, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to monitor at least on a quarterly basis the quality of any underlying collateral, the status of management of the debtors and other important factors in order to report to management and develop additional provision as necessary.

In common with all classes, the Company and its subsidiaries consider financing receivables as past-due financing receivables when principal or interest is past-due 30 days or more. Loans whose terms have been modified are not classified as past-due financing receivables if the principals and interests are not past-due 30 days or more in accordance with the modified terms.

The Company and its subsidiaries suspend accruing revenues on past-due installment loans and direct financing leases when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more, or earlier, if management determines that their collections are doubtful based on factors such as individual debtor’s creditworthiness, historical loss experience, current delinquencies and delinquency trends. Cash repayments received on non-accrual loans are applied first against past due interest and then any surpluses are applied to principal in view of the conditions of the contract and obligors. The Company and its subsidiaries return to accrual status non-accrual loans and lease receivables when it becomes probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these loans and lease receivables, as evidenced by continual payments from the debtors. The period of such continual payments before returning to accrual status varies depending on factors that we consider are relevant in assessing the debtor’s creditworthiness, such as the debtor’s business characteristics and financial conditions as well as relevant economic conditions and trends.

A troubled debt restructuring is defined as a restructuring of a financing receivable in which the creditor grants a concession to the debtor for economic or other reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties.

The Company and its subsidiaries offer various types of concessions to our debtors to protect as much of our investment as possible in troubled debt restructurings. For the debtors of non-recourse loans, the Company and its subsidiaries offer concessions including an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for a debt with similar risk characteristics. For the debtors of all financing receivables other than non-recourse loans, the Company and its subsidiaries offer concessions such as a reduction of the loan principal, a temporary reduction in the interest payments, or an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for a debt with similar risk characteristics. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries may acquire collateral assets from the debtors in troubled debt restructurings to satisfy fully or partially the loan principal or past due interest.

In common with all portfolio segments, financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings are recognized as impaired and are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance. In most cases, these financing receivables have already been considered impaired and individually evaluated for allowance for credit losses prior to the restructurings. However, as a result of the restructuring, the Company and its subsidiaries may recognize additional provision for the restructured receivables.

The following table provides information about financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months from March 31, 2015 and for which there was a payment default during fiscal 2015:

The Company and its subsidiaries consider financing receivables whose terms have been modified in a restructuring as defaulted receivables when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more in accordance with the modified terms.

In common with all portfolio segments, the Company and its subsidiaries suspend accruing revenues and may recognize additional provision as necessary for the defaulted financing receivables.

As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, there were no foreclosed residential real estate properties.

Gains and losses realized from the sale of trading securities and net unrealized holding gains (losses) on trading securities are included in net gains on investment securities and life insurance related investment income. For further information, see Note 22 “Gains on investment securities and dividends” and Note 23 “Life Insurance Operations.” For fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, net unrealized holding gains (losses) on trading securities were gains of ¥137,704 million, losses of ¥84,678 million and gains of ¥19,049 million, respectively.

During fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries sold available-for-sale securities for aggregate proceeds of ¥511,868 million, ¥464,232 million and ¥549,865 million, respectively, resulting in gross realized gains of ¥32,206 million, ¥32,593 million and ¥33,804 million, respectively, and gross realized losses of ¥129 million, ¥467 million and ¥3,103 million, respectively. The cost of the securities sold was based on the average cost of each such security held at the time of the sale.

During fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries charged losses on securities of ¥8,997 million, ¥4,515 million and ¥6,608 million, respectively, to the accompanying consolidated statements of income for declines in market value of securities where the decline was considered as other than temporary.

Other securities consist mainly of non-marketable equity securities, preferred capital shares carried at cost and investment funds carried at an amount that reflects equity income and loss based on the investor’s share. The aggregate carrying amount of other securities accounted for under the cost method totaled ¥27,349 million and ¥25,597 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. Investments with an aggregate cost of ¥27,125 million and ¥25,396 million respectively, were not evaluated for impairment because the Company and its subsidiaries did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of those investments and it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments.

A certain subsidiary elected the fair value option for investments in foreign government bond securities included in available-for-sale securities, which as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, were fair valued at ¥988 million and ¥1,015 million, respectively.

A certain subsidiary elected the fair value option for investments in foreign corporate debt securities included in available-for-sale securities, which as of March 31, 2017, were fair valued at ¥1,026 million.

A certain subsidiary elected the fair value option for certain investments in equity securities included in available-for-sale securities to mitigate volatility in the consolidated statements of income caused by the differences in classification of recognized gain or loss that would otherwise exist between the equity securities and the derivatives used to manage the risk of changes in fair value of these equity securities. As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, these equity securities were fair valued at ¥16,227 million and ¥15,400 million, respectively.

Certain subsidiaries elected the fair value option for certain investments in a trust and investment funds included in other securities whose net asset values do not represent the fair value of investments due to the illiquid nature of these investments. The subsidiaries manage these investments on a fair value basis and the election of the fair value option enables the subsidiaries to reflect more appropriate assumptions to measure the fair value of these investments. As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, the fair values of these investments were ¥10,152 million and ¥7,453 million, respectively.

The number of investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 were 259 and 325, respectively. The gross unrealized losses on these securities are attributable to a number of factors including changes in interest rates, credit spreads and market trends.

For debt securities, in the case of the fair value being below the amortized cost, the Company and its subsidiaries consider whether those securities are other-than-temporarily impaired using all available information about their collectability. The Company and its subsidiaries do not consider a debt security to be other-than-

temporarily impaired if (1) the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the debt security, (2) it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and (3) the present value of estimated cash flows will fully cover the amortized cost of the security. On the other hand, the Company and its subsidiaries consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if any of the above mentioned three conditions are not met.

Debt securities with unrealized loss position mainly include corporate debt securities in Japan, CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities.

The unrealized loss associated with corporate debt securities is primarily due to changes in the market interest rate and risk premium. Considering all available information to assess the collectability of those investments (such as the financial condition of and business prospects for the issuers), the Company and its subsidiaries believe that the Company and its subsidiaries are able to recover the entire amortized cost basis of those investments. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017.

The unrealized loss associated with CMBS and RMBS in the Americas and other asset-backed securities is primarily caused by changes in credit spreads and interest rates. In order to determine whether a credit loss exists, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the present value of anticipated cash flows, discounted at the current yield to accrete the security. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. Then, a credit loss is assessed by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the security’s amortized cost basis. Based on that assessment, the Company and its subsidiaries expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis and no credit impairment was identified. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2017.

For equity securities with unrealized losses, the Company and its subsidiaries consider various factors to determine whether the decline is other-than-temporary, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value and the issuer’s specific economic conditions as well as the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover the securities’ carrying amounts. Based on our ongoing monitoring process, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2017.

The total other-than-temporary impairment with an offset for the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 are as follows:

 

     Millions of yen

During fiscal 2015 and 2016, other-than-temporary impairment losses related to debt securities are recognized mainly on certain other asset-backed securities. Other asset-backed securities have experienced credit losses due to a decline in value of the underlying assets. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. The credit loss assessment is made by comparing the securities’ amortized cost basis with the portion of the estimated fair value of the underlying assets available to repay the specified bonds, or with the present value of the expected cash flows from the mortgage-backed securities, that were estimated based on a number of assumptions such as seniority of the security.

Roll-forwards of the amount related to credit losses on other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities recognized in earnings for fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 are as follows:

The Company and its subsidiaries recorded other-than-temporary impairments related to the non-credit losses arising from foregoing debt securities for CMBS and RMBS in the Americas. These impairments included the amount of unrealized gains or losses for the changes in fair value of the debt securities after recognition of other-than-temporary impairments in earnings. As of March 31, 2015, an unrealized gain of ¥234 million and an unrealized loss of ¥58 million, before taxes, were included and an unrealized gain of ¥149 million and an unrealized loss of ¥37 million, net of taxes, were included in unrealized gains or losses of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2016, an unrealized gain of ¥61 million and an unrealized loss of ¥6 million, before taxes, were included and an unrealized gain of ¥39 million and an unrealized loss of ¥4 million, net of taxes, were included in unrealized gains or losses of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2017, an unrealized gain of ¥57 million, before taxes, were included and an unrealized gain of ¥36 million, net of taxes, were included in unrealized gains or losses of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2017, no unrealized loss was included in unrealized gains or losses of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Securities not due at a single maturity date, such as mortgage-backed securities, are included in the above table based on their final maturities.

Certain borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. This right may cause actual maturities to differ from the contractual maturities summarized above.

Included in finance revenues in the consolidated statements of income is interest income on investment securities of ¥12,391 million, ¥12,712 million and ¥14,031 million for fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively.

The Company and a certain foreign subsidiary acquired debt securities with evidence of deterioration of credit quality at the time of acquisition, and it was not probable the Company and a certain foreign subsidiary were able to recover all contractual amounts of those debt securities. The Company and the subsidiary determined the expected future cash flows taking into account historical cash collections for debt securities with similar characteristics as well as expected prepayments and the amount and the timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for each pool of debt securities. Accretable yield represents the excess of expected future cash flows over carrying value of the debt securities, which is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the debt securities. For a debt security for which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the Company and a certain foreign subsidiary estimates the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security and compares it with the amortized cost basis of the security to determine whether a credit loss exists. If, based on current information and events, the Company and the subsidiary determine a credit loss exists for that security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. For a debt security for which an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred, the Company and the subsidiary recognize the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value in earnings if the Company and the subsidiary intend to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that the Company and the subsidiary will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. On the other hand, if the Company and the subsidiary do not intend to sell the debt security

and it is not more likely than not that the Company and the subsidiary will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the Company and the subsidiary separate the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities into the credit loss component and the non-credit loss component. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. The carrying amounts and the nominal value of debt securities acquired with evidence of deterioration of credit quality were ¥319 million and ¥1,057 million as of March 31, 2016, and ¥18 million and ¥355 million as of March 31, 2017. The outstanding balance of accretable yield was ¥743 million and ¥402 million as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

10. Securitization Transactions

The Company and its subsidiaries have securitized various financial assets such as lease receivables and installment loans (commercial mortgage loans, housing loans and other).

In the securitization process, these financial assets are transferred to SPEs, such as trusts and special-purpose companies that issue beneficial interests of the securitization trusts and securities backed by the financial assets to investors. The cash flows collected from these assets transferred to the SPEs are then used to repay these asset-backed beneficial interests and securities. As the transferred assets are isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries, the investors and the SPEs have no recourse to other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries in cases where the debtors or the issuers of the transferred financial assets fail to perform under the original terms of those financial assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries often retain interests in the SPEs in the form of the beneficial interest of the securitization trusts. Those interests that continue to be held include interests in the transferred assets and are often subordinate to other tranche(s) of the securitization. Those beneficial interests that continue to be held by the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk on the securitized financial assets. With regards to these subordinated interests that the Company and its subsidiaries retain, they are subordinated to the senior investments and are exposed to different credit and prepayment risks, since they first absorb the risk of the decline in the cash flows from the financial assets transferred to the SPEs for defaults and prepayment of the transferred assets. If there is any excess cash remaining in the SPEs after payment to investors in the securitization of the contractual rate of returns, most of such excess cash is distributed to the Company and its subsidiaries for payments of the subordinated interests.

Trusts or SPEs used in securitization transactions have been consolidated if the Company and its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the trusts or SPEs.

During fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, there was no securitization transaction accounted for as a sale.

11. Variable Interest Entities

The Company and its subsidiaries use special purpose companies, partnerships and trusts (hereinafter referred to as SPEs) in the ordinary course of business.

These SPEs are not always controlled by voting rights, and there are cases where voting rights do not exist for these SPEs. The Company and its subsidiaries determine a variable interest entity (hereinafter referred to as VIE) among those SPEs when (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including the equity holders or (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have (1) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance through voting rights or similar rights, (2) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or (3) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity.

The Company and its subsidiaries perform a qualitative analysis to identify the primary beneficiary of VIEs. An enterprise that has both of the following characteristics is considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore results in the consolidation of the VIE:

 

    The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance

 

    The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE

All facts and circumstances are taken into consideration when determining whether the Company and its subsidiaries have variable interests that would deem it the primary beneficiary and therefore require consolidation of the VIE. The Company and its subsidiaries make ongoing reassessment of whether they are the primary beneficiaries of a VIE.

The following are the items that the Company and its subsidiaries are considering in a qualitative assessment:

 

    Which activities most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and who has the power to direct such activities

 

    Characteristics of the Company and its subsidiaries’ variable interest or interests and other involvements (including involvement of related parties and de facto agents)

 

    Involvement of other variable interest holders

 

    The entity’s purpose and design, including the risks that the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders

The Company and its subsidiaries generally consider the following types of involvement to be significant when determining the primary beneficiary:

 

    Designing the structuring of a transaction

 

    Providing an equity investment and debt financing

 

    Being the investment manager, asset manager or servicer and receiving variable fees

 

    Providing liquidity and other financial support

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have the power to direct activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance if that power is shared among multiple unrelated parties, and accordingly do not consolidate such VIEs.

*2 The amounts as of March 31, 2016 were disclosed according to ASC 810 (“Consolidation”) before amendment, and were not adjusted to reflect the Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 (“Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”—ASC 810 (“Consolidation”)).
*3 On April 1, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted the Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 (“Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”—ASC 810 (“Consolidation”)), issued in February 2015. As a result of the adoption, the effect on the non-consolidated VIEs as of April 1, 2016 was an increase of ¥2,401,930 million in total assets, an increase of ¥56,931 million in investments and an increase of ¥69,660 million in maximum exposure to loss. This was due primarily to the increases of ¥2,021,460 million in total assets, ¥49,275 million in investments and ¥62,003 million in maximum exposure to loss, included in “(e) VIEs for investment in securities.”

(a) VIEs for liquidating customer assets

The Company and its subsidiaries may use VIEs in structuring financing for customers to liquidate specific customer assets. The VIEs are typically used to provide a structure that is bankruptcy remote with respect to the customer and the use of VIE structure is requested by such customer. Such VIEs typically acquire assets to be liquidated from the customer, borrow non-recourse loans from financial institutions and have an equity investment made by the customer. By using cash flows from the liquidated assets, these VIEs repay the loan and pay dividends to equity investors if sufficient funds exist.

Variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company and its subsidiaries have, are mainly included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company has a commitment agreement by which the Company may be required to make additional investment in certain such non-consolidated VIEs.

(b) VIEs for acquisition of real estate and real estate development projects for customers

Customers and the Company and its subsidiaries are involved with VIEs formed to acquire real estate and/or develop real estate projects. In each case, a customer establishes and makes an equity investment in a VIE that is designed to be bankruptcy remote from the customer. The VIEs acquire real estate and/or develop real estate projects.

The Company and its subsidiaries provide non-recourse loans to such VIEs and hold specified bonds issued by them and/or make investments in them. The Company and its subsidiaries have consolidated certain VIEs because the Company or its subsidiary effectively controls the VIEs by acting as the asset manager of the VIEs.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of consolidated VIEs are mainly included in cash and cash equivalents and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in other liabilities.

With respect to the variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company and its subsidiaries have, specified bonds are included in investment in securities, non-recourse loans are included in installment loans, and investments are mainly included in investment in securities, investment in affiliates and other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company and its subsidiaries have commitment agreements by which the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to provide additional investment in certain non-consolidated VIEs as long as the agreed-upon terms are met. Under these agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries are committed to invest in these VIEs with the other investors based on their respective ownership percentages. The Company and its subsidiaries concluded that the VIEs are not consolidated because the power to direct these VIEs is held by unrelated parties. In some cases, the Company and its subsidiaries concluded that the VIEs are not consolidated because the power to direct these VIEs is shared among multiple unrelated parties.

(c) VIEs for acquisition of real estate for the Company and its subsidiaries’ real estate-related business

The Company and its subsidiaries establish VIEs and acquire real estate to borrow non-recourse loans from financial institutions and simplify the administration activities necessary for the real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries consolidate such VIEs even though the Company and its subsidiaries may not have voting rights if substantially all of such VIEs’ subordinated interests are issued to the Company and its subsidiaries, and therefore the VIEs are controlled by and for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment in operating leases, property under facility operations and other assets, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt. The Company has a commitment agreement by which the Company may be required to make additional investment in certain such consolidated VIEs.

(d) VIEs for corporate rehabilitation support business

Financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiary are involved with VIEs established for the corporate rehabilitation support business. VIEs receive the funds from investors including the financial institutions, the Company and the subsidiary, and purchase loan receivables due from borrowers which have financial problems, but are deemed to have the potential to recover in the future. The servicing operations for the VIEs are conducted by the subsidiary.

The Company and its subsidiary consolidated such VIEs since the Company and the subsidiary have the majority of the investment share of such VIEs, and have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through the servicing operations.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in installment loans, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in other liabilities.

(e) VIEs for investment in securities

Certain subsidiaries consolidated certain such VIEs since the subsidiaries has the majority of the investment share of them, and has the power to direct the activities of those VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through involvement with the design of the VIEs or other means.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in investment in securities and investment in affiliates, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in trade notes, accounts and other payable. A subsidiary has a commitment agreement by which the subsidiary may be required to make additional investment in certain such consolidated VIEs.

Variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company and its subsidiaries have, are included in investment in securities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company and its subsidiaries have a commitment agreement by which the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to make additional investment in certain such non-consolidated VIEs.

(f) VIEs for securitizing financial assets such as direct financing lease receivable and loan receivable

The Company and its subsidiaries use VIEs to securitize financial assets such as direct financing leases receivables and loans receivables. In the securitization process, these financial assets are transferred to SPEs, and the SPEs issue beneficial interests or securities backed by the transferred financial assets to investors. After the securitization, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to hold a subordinated part of the securities and act as a servicer.

The Company and its subsidiaries consolidated such VIEs since the Company and its subsidiaries have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance by designing the securitization scheme and conducting servicing activities, and have a responsibility to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities by retaining the subordinated part of the securities.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in restricted cash, investment in direct financing leases and installment loans, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt.

(g) VIEs for securitization of loan receivable originated by third parties

The Company and its subsidiaries invest in CMBS, RMBS and other asset-backed securities originated by third parties. In some cases of such securitization, certain subsidiaries hold the subordinated portion and the subsidiaries act as a special-servicer of the securitization transaction. As the special servicer, the subsidiaries have rights to dispose of real estate collateral related to the securitized commercial mortgage loans.

The subsidiaries consolidate certain of these VIEs when the subsidiaries have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through its role as special-servicer, including the right to dispose of the collateral, and have a responsibility to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities by holding the subordinated part of the securities.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in installment loans, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt.

Variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company and its subsidiaries have, are included in investment in securities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company has a commitment agreement by which the Company may be required to make additional investment in certain such non-consolidated VIEs.

(h) VIEs for power generation projects

The Company and its subsidiaries may use VIEs in power generation projects. VIEs receive the funds from the Company and its subsidiaries, install solar panels on acquired or leased lands, and sell the generated power to electric power companies. The Company and its subsidiaries have consolidated certain VIEs because the Company and its subsidiaries have the majority of the investment shares of such VIEs and effectively control the VIEs by acting as the asset manager of the VIEs.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in restricted cash, property under facility operations and other assets, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt and other liabilities. The Company has commitment agreements by which the Company may be required to make additional investment or execute loans in certain such consolidated VIEs.

Variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company has, is included in investment in securities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(i) Other VIEs

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved with other types of VIEs for various purposes. Consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs of this category are mainly kumiai structures. In addition, certain subsidiaries has consolidated VIEs that are not included in the categories (a) through (h) above, because the subsidiaries hold the subordinated portion of the VIEs and the VIEs are effectively controlled by the subsidiaries.

In Japan, certain subsidiaries provide investment products to their customers that employ a contractual mechanism known as a kumiai, which in part result in the subsidiaries forming a type of SPE. As a means to finance the purchase of aircraft or other large-ticket items to be leased to third parties, the Company and its subsidiaries arrange and market kumiai products to investors, who invest a portion of the funds necessary into the kumiai structure. The remainder of the purchase funds is borrowed by the kumiai structure in the form of a non-recourse loan from one or more financial institutions. The kumiai investors (and any lenders to the kumiai structure) retain all of the economic risks and rewards in connection with purchasing and leasing activities of the kumiai structure, and all related gains or losses are recorded on the financial statements of the investors in the kumiai. The Company and its subsidiaries are responsible for the arrangement and marketing of these products and may act as servicer or administrator in kumiai transactions. The fee income for the arrangement and administration of these transactions is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In some cases, the Company and its subsidiaries make investments in the kumiai or its related SPE, and these VIEs are consolidated because the Company and its subsidiaries have a responsibility to absorb any significant potential loss through the investments and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. In other cases, the Company and its subsidiaries are not considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs or kumiais because the Company and its subsidiaries did not make significant investments or guarantee or otherwise undertake any significant financial commitments or exposure with respect to the kumiai or its related SPE.

The Company may use VIEs to finance. The Company transfers its own held assets to SPEs, which borrow non-recourse loan from financial institutions and effectively pledge such assets as collateral. The Company continually holds subordinated interests in the SPEs and perform administrative work of such assets. The Company consolidates such SPEs because the Company has a right to direct the activities of them that most significantly impact their economic performance by setting up the scheme and performing administrative work of the assets and has the obligation to absorb expected losses of them by holding the subordinated interests.

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in investment in operating leases, investment in affiliates and office facilities, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt.

Variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company and its subsidiaries hold, are mainly included in investment in securities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company and its subsidiaries have a commitment agreement by which the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to make additional investment in certain such non-consolidated VIEs.

* In fiscal 2015 and 2016, increases in the valuation allowance of ¥1,819 million and decreases in the valuation allowance of ¥12 million due to the amendment to tax loss carryforward rules related to the new Japanese tax law are included in “Change in valuation allowance” in the table above.

The effective income tax rate is different from the statutory tax rate primarily because of certain nondeductible expenses for tax purposes, non-taxable income for tax purposes, changes in valuation allowance, the effect of nontaxable bargain purchase gain, the effect of lower income tax rates on foreign subsidiaries and a domestic life insurance subsidiaries, effect of investor taxes on earnings of subsidiaries, and the effect of the tax reforms as discussed in the following paragraph.

On March 31, 2015, the 2015 tax reform bill was passed by the National Diet of Japan. From fiscal years beginning on April 1, 2015, the national tax rate and the local business tax rate were reduced, and as a result, the combined statutory income tax rate for the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2015 was reduced from approximately 35.9% to approximately 33.5%. The increase and decrease of the deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the change in the tax rates resulted in a decrease of provision for income taxes by ¥14,098 million in the consolidated statements of income in fiscal 2015, and the increase of the valuation allowance due to the amendment to tax loss carryforward rules resulted in an increase of provision for income taxes by ¥1,819 million in the consolidated statements of income in fiscal 2015.

On March 29, 2016, the 2016 tax reform bill was passed by the National Diet of Japan. From fiscal years beginning on April 1, 2016, the national corporate tax rate and local business tax rate were reduced and the local corporate tax rate was increased. The net effect of those changes was a reduction in the combined statutory income tax rate for the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2016 from approximately 32.9% to approximately 31.7%, and a further reduction in the combined statutory income tax rate for fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2017 to approximately 31.5%. For the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2018, the combined statutory income tax rate was further reduced to approximately 31.3%. In addition, tax loss carryforward rules were amended, and the deductible amount of tax losses carried forward for the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2016 is reduced to 60% of taxable income for the year, compared to 65% pursuant to the 2015 tax reform. From the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2017, the deductible limit of tax losses carried forward will be increased to 55%

of taxable income for the year, while the tax loss carryforward period will be reduced from ten years to nine years. From the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2018, the deductible limit of tax losses carried forward will remain at 50% of taxable income for the year and the tax loss carryforward period will remain at 10 years, consistent with the 2015 tax reform. The increase and decrease of the deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the change in the tax rates resulted in a decrease of provision for income taxes by ¥7,468 million in the consolidated statements of income in fiscal 2016, and the decrease of the valuation allowance due to the amendment to tax loss carryforward rules resulted in an decrease of provision for income taxes by ¥12 million in the consolidated statements of income in fiscal 2016.

On November 18, 2016, the 2016 tax reform bill was passed by the National Diet of Japan. The effect of the tax reform bill on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position for the fiscal 2017 was not material.

The valuation allowance is primarily recognized for deferred tax assets of consolidated subsidiaries with net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during

the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and tax loss carryforwards are utilizable. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will realize the benefits of these deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards, net of the existing valuation allowances at March 31, 2017. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. The net changes in the total valuation allowance were increases of ¥19,945 million in fiscal 2015, decreases of ¥7,295 million in fiscal 2016, and increases of ¥267 million in fiscal 2017. The adjustments to the beginning-of-the-year amount in the total valuation allowance resulting from changes in judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years were net decreases of ¥2,917 million in fiscal 2015 (increases of ¥5,447 million and decreases of ¥8,364 million on a gross basis), net increases of ¥177 million in fiscal 2016 (increases of ¥381 million and decreases of ¥204 million on a gross basis), and net increases of ¥2,215 million in fiscal 2017 (increases of ¥2,859 million and decreases of ¥644 million on a gross basis), respectively.

The Company and certain subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards of ¥380,147 million at March 31, 2017, which expire as follows:

The unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2016 and 2017 were not material. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that it is not reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of March 31, 2017.

The total amounts of penalties and interest expense related to income taxes recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, and in the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 were not material.

The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in Japan and certain foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to ordinary tax examination for the tax years prior to fiscal 2016, and its major domestic subsidiaries are no longer subject to ordinary tax examination for the tax years prior to fiscal 2010, respectively.

Subsidiaries in the United States remain subject to a tax examination for the tax years after fiscal 2009. Subsidiaries in the Netherlands remain subject to a tax examination for the tax years after fiscal 2011.

17. Pension Plans

The Company and certain subsidiaries have contributory and non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. Those contributory funded pension plans include defined benefit pension

plans and defined contribution pension plans. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump-sum payments at the time of termination of their employment or pension payments. Defined benefit pension plans consist of a plan of which the amounts of such payments are determined on the basis of length of service and remuneration at the time of termination and a cash balance plan.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ funding policy is to contribute annually the amounts actuarially determined. Assets of the plans are invested primarily in interest-bearing securities and marketable equity securities.

The Company and certain subsidiaries determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets annually based on the composition of the pension asset portfolios and the expected long-term rate of return on these portfolios. The expected long-term rate of return is designed to approximate the long-term rate of return actually earned on the plans’ assets over time to ensure that funds are available to meet the pension obligations that result from the services provided by employees. The Company and certain subsidiaries use a number of factors to determine the expected rate of return, including actual historical returns on the asset classes of the plans’ portfolios and independent projections of returns of the various asset classes.

The Company and certain subsidiaries’ investment policies are designed to ensure adequate plan assets are available to provide future payments of pension benefits to eligible participants. The Company and certain subsidiaries formulate a policy portfolio appropriate to produce the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and to ensure that plan assets are allocated under this policy portfolio. The Company and certain subsidiaries periodically have an external consulting firm monitor the results of actual return and revise the policy portfolio if necessary.

retiree to provide these shares through “The Board Incentive Plan Trust (“the trust”)” by a resolution of the Compensation Committee. The trust purchases the Company’s common shares including future granting shares by an entrusted fund which the Company set in advance. The Company holds those shares as entrusted assets, separately from other treasury stock which the Company holds.

Under the program, points are granted annually to directors, executive officers and group executives of the Company based upon the prescribed standards of the Company. Upon retirement, eligible directors, executive officers and group executives receive a certain number of the Company’s common shares calculated by translating each point earned by that retiree to one common share.

In fiscal 2017, the Company granted 350,290 points, and 416,541 points were settled for individuals who retired during fiscal 2017. Total points outstanding under the stock compensation program as of March 31, 2017 were 1,576,708 points. The points were adjusted for the 10-for-1 stock split implemented on April 1, 2013.

During fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company recognized stock-based compensation costs of its stock compensation program in the amount of ¥818 million, ¥646 million and ¥611 million, respectively.

The Japanese Companies Act (the “Act”) provides that an amount equivalent to 10% of any dividends resulting from appropriation of retained earnings be appropriated to the legal reserve until the aggregate amount of the additional paid-in capital and the legal reserve equals 25% of the issued capital. The Act also provides that both additional paid-in capital and the legal reserve are not available for dividends but may be capitalized or may be reduced by resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. However, if specified in the Company’s articles of incorporation, dividends can be declared by the Board of Directors instead of the general meeting of shareholders. In accordance with this, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved in May 2017 that a total of ¥38,162 million dividends shall be distributed to the shareholders of record as of March 31, 2017. The liability for declared dividends and related impact on total equity is accounted for in the period of such Board of Directors’ resolution.

The Act provides that at least one-half of amounts paid for new shares are included in common stock when they are issued. In conformity therewith, the Company has divided the principal amount of bonds converted into common stock and proceeds received from the issuance of common stock, including the exercise of warrants and stock acquisition rights, equally between common stock and additional paid-in capital, and set off expenses related to the issuance from the additional paid-in capital.

The amount available for dividends under the Act is calculated based on the amount recorded in the Company’s non-consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. As a result, the amount available for dividends is ¥597,858 million as of March 31, 2017.

Retained earnings at March 31, 2017 include ¥50,799 million relating to equity in undistributed earnings of the companies accounted for by the equity method.

As of March 31, 2017, the restricted net assets of certain subsidiaries, which include regulatory capital requirements mainly for banking operations and life insurance of ¥25,177 million, do not exceed 25% of consolidated net assets.

22. Gains on Investment Securities and Dividends

Reinsurance premiums

     (11,430     (11,530     (9,657

The benefits and expenses of life insurance operations included in life insurance costs in the consolidated statements of income are recognized so as to associate with earned premiums over the life of contracts. This association is accomplished by means of the provision for future policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition costs (principally commissions and certain other expenses directly relating to policy issuance and underwriting). Amortization charged to income for fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017 amounted to ¥11,917 million, ¥12,585 million and ¥14,346 million, respectively.

Life insurance premiums and related investment income include net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investment assets under management on behalf of variable annuity and variable life policyholders, and net gains or losses from derivative contracts, which consist of gains or losses from futures, foreign exchange contracts and options held, entered to economically hedge a portion of the minimum guarantee risk relating to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. In addition, life insurance costs include the net amount of the changes in fair value of the variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts elected for the fair value option and insurance costs recognized for insurance and annuity payouts as a result of insured events. Certain subsidiaries have elected the fair value option for certain reinsurance contracts to partially offset the changes in fair value recognized in earnings of the policy liabilities and policy account balances attributable to the changes in the minimum guarantee risks of the variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, and the changes in the fair value of the reinsurance contracts were recorded in life insurance costs.

26. Write-Downs of Long-Lived Assets

The Company and its subsidiaries perform tests for recoverability on long-lived assets classified as held and used for which events or changes in circumstances indicated that the assets might be impaired. The Company and its subsidiaries consider an asset’s carrying amount as not recoverable when such carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The net carrying amount of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than the carrying amount.

As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, the long-lived assets classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are as follows.

 

     Millions of yen  
   2016      2017

Other assets

     9,959        2,508  

The long-lived assets classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2016 are included in Real Estate segment, Investment and Operation segment and Overseas Business segment. The long-lived assets classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2017 are included in Corporate Financial Services segment, Maintenance Leasing segment, Real Estate segment, Investment and Operation segment and Overseas Business segment.

The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers, based on recent transactions involving sales of similar

27. Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”—ASC 205 (“Presentation of Financial Statements”) and ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to report a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if it represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries early adopted this Update on April 1, 2014. The Company and its subsidiaries report a disposal of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift which has (or will have) a major effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ operations and financial results when the component or group of components is disposed by sale or classified as held for sale on or after April 1, 2014.

During fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, there was no disposal or classification as held for sale of a component or a group of components which represents a strategic shift which has (or will have) a major effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ operations and financial results.

Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 does not apply retrospectively to a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries which have previously been reported in the financial statements. Accordingly, during fiscal 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to report gains on sales and the results of operations of subsidiaries and business units, which were classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014, as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

During fiscal 2014, the Company has determined to sell the food business unit of a subsidiary, which is composed of the food service business unit and the food business unit. During fiscal 2015, the operating income from the food business unit and the gain were ¥463 million. The Company has completed the sale of the food business unit of a subsidiary during fiscal 2015 and there are no amounts of assets or liabilities included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Discontinued operations in fiscal 2015 consist of the following. During fiscal 2016 and 2017, there was no income from discontinued operations.

29. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

Risk management policy

The Company and its subsidiaries manage interest rate risk through asset and liability management systems. The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk and avoid changes in interest rates that could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. As a result of interest rate changes, the fair value and/or cash flow of interest sensitive assets and liabilities will fluctuate. However, such fluctuation will generally be offset by using derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments. Derivative financial instruments that the Company and its subsidiaries use as part of the interest risk management include interest rate swaps.

The Company and its subsidiaries utilize foreign currency borrowings, foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency swap agreements to hedge exchange rate risk that are associated with certain transactions and investments denominated in foreign currencies. Similarly, overseas subsidiaries generally structure their liabilities to match the currency-denomination of assets in each region. A certain subsidiary holds option agreements, futures and foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of economic hedges against minimum guarantee risk of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

By using derivative instruments, the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. The Company and its subsidiaries attempt to manage the credit risk by carefully evaluating the content of transactions and the quality of counterparties in advance and regularly monitoring the amount of notional principal, fair value, type of transaction and other factors pertaining to each counterparty.

(a) Cash flow hedges

The Company and its subsidiaries designate interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges for variability of cash flows originating from floating rate borrowings and forecasted transactions and for exchange fluctuations. Net gains (losses) before deducting applicable taxes on derivative contracts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when earnings were affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The amounts of these net gains (losses) after deducting applicable taxes were net losses of ¥2,424 million, ¥838 million and gains of ¥1,694 million during fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The amount of net gains (losses), which represent the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges, ¥510 million of gains, ¥111 million of gains and ¥310 million of gains were recorded in earnings for fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The amount of net derivative gains, ¥3,170 million, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes at March 31, 2017 will be reclassified into earnings within fiscal 2018.

(b) Fair value hedges

The Company and its subsidiaries use financial instruments designated as fair value hedges to hedge their exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. The Company and its subsidiaries designate foreign currency swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign currency exposures on lease receivables, loan receivables, borrowings and others, denominated in foreign currency. The Company and its subsidiaries designate interest rate swap to hedge interest rate exposure of the fair values of loan receivables. The Company and certain overseas subsidiaries, which issued medium-term notes or bonds with fixed interest rates, use interest rate swap agreements to hedge interest rate exposure of the fair values of these medium-term notes or bonds. In cases where the medium-term notes were denominated in other than the subsidiaries’ local currencies, foreign currency swap agreements are used to hedge foreign exchange rate exposure. A certain overseas subsidiary uses foreign currency long-term-debt to hedge foreign exchange rate exposure from unrecognized firm commitment. For fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, net gains of ¥21 million, net gains of ¥1 million and net losses of ¥2 million, respectively of hedge ineffectiveness associated with instruments designated as fair value hedges were recorded in earnings.

(c) Hedges of net investment in foreign operations

The Company uses foreign exchange contracts, borrowings and bonds denominated in the subsidiaries’ local currencies to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the net investment in overseas subsidiaries. The gains and losses of these hedging instruments were recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, which is a part of other comprehensive income (loss).

(d) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company and the subsidiaries entered into interest rate swap agreements, futures and foreign exchange contracts for risk management purposes which are not qualified for hedge accounting. A certain subsidiary holds option agreements, futures and foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of economic hedges against minimum guarantee risk of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment on derivative instruments that are in net liability positions. There are no derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position on March 31, 2016 and 2017.

31. Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries have established various policies and procedures to manage credit exposure, including initial credit approval, credit limits, collateral and guarantee requirements, obtaining rights of

offset and continuous oversight. The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal financial instrument portfolio consists of investment in direct financing leases which are secured by title to the leased assets and installment loans which are secured by assets specifically collateralized in relation to loan agreements. When deemed necessary, guarantees are also obtained. The value and adequacy of the collateral are continually monitored. Consequently, the risk of credit loss from counterparties’ failure to perform in connection with collateralized financing activities is believed to be minimal. The Company and its subsidiaries have access to collateral in case of bankruptcy and other losses. However, a significant decline in real estate markets could result in a decline in fair value of the collateral real estate below the mortgage setting amount, which would expose the Company and certain subsidiaries to unsecured credit risk.

At March 31, 2016 and 2017, no concentration with a single obligor exceeded 1% of the Company’s consolidated total assets. With respect to the Company and its subsidiaries’ credit exposures on a geographic basis, ¥6,104 billion, or 78%, at March 31, 2016 and ¥6,072 billion, or 75%, at March 31, 2017 of the credit risks arising from all financial instruments are attributable to customers located in Japan. The largest concentration of credit risk outside of Japan is exposure attributable to obligors located in Americas. The gross amount of such exposure is ¥849 billion and ¥965 billion as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries have transportation equipment such as automobile operations and aircraft. Transportation equipment is mainly recorded in investment in direct financing leases and operating leases. In connection with investment in direct financing leases and operating leases, the percentage of investment in transportation equipment to consolidated total assets is 11.0% and 11.4% as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries provide consumers with housing loans. In connection with installment loans, the percentage of housing loans to consolidated total assets is 10.3% and 11.4% as of March 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

32. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following information is provided to help readers gain an understanding of the relationship between carrying amount of financial instruments reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the related market or fair value. For derivative financial instruments, see Note 2 “Fair Value Measurements.”

The disclosures do not include investment in direct financing leases, investment in affiliates, pension obligations and insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts except for those classified as investment contracts.

Input level of fair value measurement

If active market prices are available, fair value measurement is based on quoted active market prices and classified as Level 1. If active market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 such as quoted market prices of similar assets and classified as Level 2. If market prices are not available and there are no observable inputs, then fair value is estimated by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies, commonly used option-pricing models and broker quotes and classified as Level 3, as the valuation models and broker quotes are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

Estimation of fair value

The following methods and significant assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate a value:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits and short-term debt—The carrying amounts recognized in the balance sheets were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short maturity.

Installment loans—The carrying amounts of floating-rate installment loans with no significant changes in credit risk and which could be repriced within a short-term period were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. The carrying amounts of purchased loans were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values because the carrying amounts (net of allowance) are considered to properly reflect the recoverability and value of these loans. For certain homogeneous categories of medium- and long-term fixed-rate loans, such as housing loans, the estimated fair values were calculated by discounting the future cash flows using the current interest rates charged by the Company and its subsidiaries for new loans made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. Concerning the above, if available, estimated fair values were based on quoted market prices or quotations provided by dealers.

Investment in securities—For trading securities and available-for-sale securities other than specified bonds issued by SPEs and certain other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, the estimated fair values, which are also the carrying amounts recorded in the balance sheets, were generally based on quoted market prices or quotations provided by dealers. As for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs and certain other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities included in available-for-sale securities, the Company and its subsidiaries estimated the fair value by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies and broker quotes (see Note 2 “Fair Value Measurements”). For held-to-maturity securities, the estimated fair values were mainly based on quoted market prices. For certain investment funds included in other securities, the fair values were estimated based on net asset value per share or discounted cash flow methodologies. With regard to other securities other than the investment funds described above, the Company and its subsidiaries have not estimated the fair value, as it is not practicable to do so. Those other securities mainly consist of non-marketable equity securities and preferred capital shares. Because there were no quoted market prices for such other securities and each security has a different nature and characteristics, reasonable estimates of fair values could not be made without incurring excessive costs.

Deposits—The carrying amounts of demand deposits recognized in the consolidated balance sheets were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. The estimated fair values of time deposits were calculated by discounting the future cash flows. The current interest rates offered for the deposits with similar terms and remaining average maturities were used as the discount rates.

Long-term debt—The carrying amounts of long-term debt with floating rates which could be repriced within short-term periods were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. For medium-and long-term fixed-rate debt, the estimated fair values were calculated by discounting the future cash flows. The borrowing interest rates that would be currently available to the Company and its subsidiaries offered by financial institutions for debt with similar terms and remaining average maturities were used as the discount rates. Concerning the above, if available, estimated fair values were based on quoted market prices or quotations provided by dealers.

Derivatives—For exchange-traded derivatives, fair value is based on quoted market prices. Fair value estimates for other derivatives generally reflect the estimated amounts that the Company and its subsidiaries would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the balance sheet date, thereby taking into account the current

unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. In estimating the fair value of most of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ derivatives, estimated future cash flows are discounted using the current interest rate.

Reinsurance recoverables and Policy liabilities and Policy account balances—A certain subsidiary has fixed annuity contracts, variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, and reinsurance contracts which are classified as investment contracts because they do not expose the subsidiary to mortality or morbidity risks. In estimating the fair value of those contracts, estimated future cash flows are discounted using the current interest rate.

33. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments—As of March 31, 2017, the Company and certain subsidiaries have commitments for the purchase of equipment to be leased, having a cost of ¥706 million.

Guarantee of corporate loans: The Company and certain subsidiaries mainly guarantee corporate loans issued by financial institutions for customers. The Company and the subsidiaries are obliged to pay the outstanding loans when the guaranteed customers fail to pay principal and/or interest in accordance with the contract terms. In some cases, the corporate loans are secured by the guaranteed customers’ assets. Once the Company and the subsidiaries assume the guaranteed customers’ obligation, the Company and the subsidiaries obtain a right to claim the collateral assets. In other cases, certain contracts that guarantee corporate loans issued by financial institutions for customers include contracts that the amounts of performance guarantee are limited to a certain range of guarantee commissions. As of March 31, 2016 and 2017, total notional amount of the loans subject to such guarantees are ¥1,278,000 million and ¥1,326,000 million, respectively, and book value of guarantee liabilities are ¥1,080 million and ¥1,722 million, respectively. The potential future payment amounts for these guarantees are limited to a certain range of the guarantee commissions, which are less than the total notional amounts of the loans subject to these guarantees. The potential future payment amounts for the contract period are calculated from the guarantee limit which is arranged by financial institutions in advance as to contracts that the amounts of performance guarantee are unlimited to a certain range of guarantee commissions. For this reason, the potential future payment amounts for these guarantees include the amount of the guarantee which may occur in the future, which is larger than the balance of guarantee executed as of the end of the fiscal year. The executed guarantee balance includes defrayment by financial institutions which we bear temporarily at the time of execution, and credit risk for financial institutions until liquidation of this guarantee. Our substantial amounts of performance guarantee except credit risk for financial institutions are limited to our defrayment which is arranged by financial institutions in advance.

Payment or performance risk of the guarantees is considered based on the historical experience of credit events. There have been no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of the guarantees in fiscal 2017.

Guarantee of transferred loans: A subsidiary in the United States is authorized to underwrite, originate, fund, and service multi-family and seniors housing loans without prior approval from Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program. As part of this program, Fannie Mae provides a commitment to purchase the loans.

In return for the delegated authority, the subsidiary guarantees the performance of certain housing loans transferred to Fannie Mae and has the payment or performance risk of the guarantees to absorb some of the losses when losses arise from the transferred loans.

There were no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of these guarantees in fiscal 2017.

Guarantee of consumer loans: A certain subsidiary guarantees consumer loans, typically card loans, issued by Japanese financial institutions. The subsidiary is obligated to pay the outstanding obligations when these loans become delinquent generally a month or more.

Payment or performance risk of the guarantees is considered based on the historical experience of credit events.

There were no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of the guarantees in fiscal 2017.

Guarantee of housing loans: The Company and certain subsidiaries guarantee housing loans issued by Japanese financial institutions to third party individuals. The Company and the subsidiaries are typically obliged to pay the outstanding loans when these loans become delinquent three months or more. The housing loans are usually secured by the real properties. Once the Company and the subsidiaries assume the guaranteed parties’ obligation, the Company and the subsidiaries obtain a right to claim the collateral assets.

Payment or performance risk of the guarantees is considered based on the historical experience of credit events.

There were no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of the guarantees in fiscal 2017.

Other guarantees: Other guarantees include the guarantees to financial institutions and the guarantees derived from collection agency agreements. Pursuant to the contracts of the guarantees to financial institutions, a certain subsidiary pays to the financial institutions when customers of the financial institutions become debtors and default on the debts. Pursuant to the agreements of the guarantees derived from collection agency agreements, the Company and certain subsidiaries collect third parties’ debt and pay the uncovered amounts.

Litigation—The Company and certain subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, none of such proceedings and claims will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are almost the same as those described in Note 1 “Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies” except for the treatment of income tax expenses, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests, income from discontinued operations and the consolidation of certain variable interest entities (VIEs). Income taxes are not included in segment profits or losses because the management evaluates segments’ performance on a pre-tax basis. Also, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests are not included in segment profits or losses because the management evaluates segments’ performance based on profits or losses (pre-tax) attributable to ORIX Corporation Shareholders. On the other hand, income from discontinued operations is included in segment profits or losses because the management considers such disposal activities as part of the ordinary course of business. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and income from discontinued operations, which are recognized net of tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, are adjusted to profit or loss before income taxes, when calculating segment profits or losses. Most of selling, general and administrative expenses, including compensation costs that are directly related to the revenue generating activities of each segment, have been accumulated by and charged to each segment. Gains and losses that management does not consider for evaluating the performance of the segments, such as write-downs of certain securities, write-downs of certain long-lived assets and certain foreign exchange gains or losses (included in other (income) and expense, net) are excluded from the segment profits or losses, and are regarded as corporate items.

Assets attributed to each segment are investment in direct financing leases, installment loans, investment in operating leases, investment in securities, property under facility operations, investment in affiliates, inventories, advances for investment in operating leases (included in other assets), advances for investment in property under facility operations (included in other assets) and goodwill and other intangible assets recognized as a result of business combination (included in other assets). This has resulted in the depreciation of office facilities being included in each segment’s profit or loss while the carrying amounts of corresponding assets are not allocated to each segment’s assets. However, the effect resulting from this allocation is not significant.

For those VIEs that are used for securitization and are consolidated, for which the VIE’s assets can be used only to settle related obligations of those VIEs and the creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to other assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, segment assets are measured based on the amount of the Company and its subsidiaries’ net investments in the VIEs, which is different from the amount of total assets of the VIEs, and accordingly, segment revenues are also measured at a net amount representing the revenues earned on the net investments in the VIEs.

Certain gains or losses related to assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs, which are not ultimately attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries, are excluded from segment profits.

The reconciliation of segment totals to consolidated financial statement amounts is as follows. Significant items to be reconciled are segment revenues, segment profits and segment assets. Other items do not have a significant difference between segment amounts and consolidated amounts.

Prior-year amounts have been adjusted for the retrospective application of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”—ASC 835-30 (“Interest—Imputation of Interest”)) on April 1, 2016.
