Changes in Accounting Policies
(Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement)
MHFG has applied Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement (ASBJ Guidance No.31, June 17, 2021 (referred to as Fair Value Accounting Standard Implementation Guidance)) from the beginning of the first quarter ended June 30, 2022. In accordance with the transitional treatment set out in Article 27-2 of Fair Value Accounting Standard Implementation Guidance, MHFG applies the new accounting policy set forth in Fair Value Accounting Standard Implementation Guidance prospectively. As a result, some Investment trusts and others are calculated using net asset value, etc., as of the calculation date of the fair value.

Additional Information
The Board Benefit Trust (BBT) Program
Since MHFG operates its business to contribute to the creation of value for diverse stakeholders and realize improved corporate value through the continuous and stable growth of MHFG group pursuant to MHFGs basic management policy defined under the Mizuho Financial Groups Corporate Identity, MHFG has introduced a stock compensation program using a trust (the Program) that functions as an incentive for each Director, Group Executive Officer, and Operating officers to exert maximum effort in performing his or her duties, and also as consideration for such exertion of effort.
(1) | Outline of the Program |
The Program has adopted the Board Benefit Trust (BBT) framework. MHFGs shares on the stock market will be acquired through a trust established based on the underlying funds contributed by MHFG, and MHFGs shares will be distributed to Directors, Executive Officers, and Operating officers of MHFG, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd., and Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. (the Company Group) and other entities in accordance with the Rules on Distribution of Shares to be prescribed in advance. The framework consists of the stock compensation program based on the Company Group Officers responsibilities and others in their respective company (Stock Compensation I), the stock compensation program based on the performance evaluation of the Company Group (Stock Compensation II) and the stock compensation program based on Company Group Officers responsibilities in their respective company and the performance evaluation of the Company Group, which distributes MHFGs shares to Operating officers of MHFG and certain consolidated subsidiaries (Stock Benefit).
Stock Compensation I will be paid at the time of retirement in the form of shares of MHFG calculated based on their responsibilities and others. A system is adopted which enables a decrease or forfeiture of the amount depending on the performance of the company or the individual.
Stock Compensation II will be paid in the form of shares of MHFG and will be deferred over three years, which is calculated based on the status of achieving our Five-Year Business Plan. A system is adopted which enables a decrease or forfeiture of the amount depending on the performance of the company or the individual.
Stock Benefit will be paid in the collective form of MHFGs share, which is based on responsibilities in their respective company and the performance evaluation of the Company Group. Reduction and forfeit of the benefit can occur in the program.
Upon the payment of stock compensation under the Program, MHFG may, for a certain portion, pay a monetary amount equivalent to the market value of its stock in lieu of stock compensation in accordance with the Rules on Distribution of Shares.
Voting rights related to MHFGs shares belonging to the trust assets under the trust shall not be exercised.
(2) | MHFGs Shares Outstanding in the Trust |
MHFGs shares outstanding in the trust are recognized as Treasury Stock under Net Assets at the carrying amount (excluding the amount of incidental expenses) in the trust. The carrying amount of such Treasury Stock as of December 31, 2022 was ¥5,127million for 3,232 thousand shares (the carrying amount as of March 31, 2022 was ¥4,949 million for 3,079 thousand shares).

Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans
In light of the principles set forth in the report entitled JFSAs supervisory approaches to lending business and loan loss provisioning published by JFSA on December 18, 2019, we have reflected the potential impact of COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine situation, inflation and others on Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans for some credit. More specifically, expected losses are estimated using the assumptions based on the Russia-Ukraine situation, inflation and others in addition to the potential impact of COVID-19. The bases of the assumptions include the forecasted GDP growth rate, financial variables including resource prices, exchange rates, and others, the future prospect of the business environment of each industry, the impact of economic sanctions inside and outside of Russia, and the Russia-Ukraine situation. There are no material changes in the methods of the above accounting estimates and the major assumptions used in the quarterly consolidated financial statements from those of the previous fiscal year.
In addition, expected losses which are assumed may occur in the future due to difficulties in foreign currency cash management influenced by economic sanctions against Russia, in claims for which transfer risk has not been avoided, are recognized as Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans to Restructuring Countries.
The expected losses are calculated based on evaluation of Russian country risk and past defaults which are announced by external rating firms and others. The amount of Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans to Restructuring Countries for the nine months ended December 30, 2022 is ¥41,894 million, which includes ¥40,360 million against the claims related to Russia.
Application of Treatment of Accounting and Disclosure for Applying the Japanese Group Relief System
MHFG and some domestic consolidated subsidiaries of the Group have transitioned from the Consolidated Tax System to the Japanese Group Relief System from the beginning of the first quarter ended June 30, 2022. In accordance with this, accounting and disclosure of corporate tax, local corporate tax and tax-effect accounting are in accordance with Treatment of accounting and disclosure for applying the Japanese Group Relief System (Practical Solutions No. 42, August 12, 2021 (Practical Solutions No.42)). In addition, based on Practical Solutions No. 42, Paragraph 32 (1), MHFG regards that there is no impact from the changes in accounting policies associated with the effects of application of Practical Solutions No.42.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the quarterly consolidated balance sheet which are material for operations of the corporate group and have changed significantly in comparison to the end of fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 are as follows;
Fair values of financial instruments are categorized into three levels as below on the basis of the observability and the materiality of the valuation inputs used in fair value measurements.
Fair values of Level 1: Fair values measured by quoted prices of the assets or liabilities being measured which are given in active markets among observable valuation inputs
Fair values of Level 2: Fair values measured by inputs other than inputs included within Level 1 among observable valuation inputs
Fair values of Level 3: Fair values measured by unobservable valuation inputs
When several inputs that have significant impact on fair value measurement are used and those inputs are categorized into different levels, the fair value is categorized into the lowest priority level for fair value measurement among the levels in which each of the inputs belongs.
