This quarterly financial result secured higher revenue and profit, driven by the expansion of interest income and an increase in fee income in the Banking segment. Revenue (ordinary revenues) was ¥74.19B (+39.0% YoY), Ordinary Income was ¥20.38B (+22.5%), and Net Income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥14.13B (+21.1%), with all major indicators securing double-digit profit growth. Basic EPS was ¥47.40 (¥38.84 in the previous year, +22.0%). Revenue growth exceeded profit growth, and the Ordinary Income margin declined to 27.5% (31.2% in the previous year) due to higher lending and funding costs; however, the company is in a growth phase in which quantitative expansion is offsetting this decline.
【Revenue】The primary driver of Revenue of ¥74.19B (+39.0%) was the expansion of the Banking segment to ¥64.97B (87.6% of the total, +44.6%). Interest income increased to ¥43.89B (¥35.55B in the previous year), of which interest on loans was ¥29.09B (¥24.36B in the previous year), reflecting higher lending yields. Fee income also remained solid at ¥9.53B (¥8.73B in the previous year, +9.1%). Leasing was ¥5.97B (+3.5%), while Other Businesses were ¥3.25B (+20.6%); both contributed to higher revenue.
【Profit and Loss】Ordinary Income was ¥20.38B (+22.5%), while Net Income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥14.13B (+21.1%). Ordinary expenses in the banking business expanded to ¥53.81B (¥36.74B in the previous year, +46.4%) due to higher funding costs, whereas general and administrative expenses rose moderately to ¥17.73B (¥16.72B in the previous year, +6.0%), indicating an improving cost-efficiency trend. Extraordinary losses were limited to ¥0.03B, including impairment losses of ¥0.004B, and the impact of temporary factors was limited. Against Profit Before Taxes of ¥20.35B, income taxes and other taxes of ¥6.23B were recorded, representing an effective tax rate of 30.6%, and the company concluded the period with higher revenue and profit.
Ordinary revenues in the Banking segment were ¥64.97B (87.6% of the total, +44.6%), while segment profit was ¥19.15B (¥15.92B in the previous year, +20.3%), continuing to expand as the core business. Leasing delivered stable growth, with ordinary revenues of ¥5.97B (+3.5%) and segment profit of ¥0.48B (¥0.43B in the previous year, +13.2%). Total profit of the reportable segments was ¥19.63B (¥16.35B in the previous year, +20.1%); however, adjustments including the elimination of intersegment transactions expanded to △¥18.11B (△¥6.94B in the previous year), creating a difference from total Ordinary Income of ¥20.38B. The magnitude of the adjustment increased to 2.6 times the previous year, apparently due to an increase in intersegment internal transactions. This should be noted as a factor behind the widening gap between the simple aggregate and consolidated Ordinary Income.
【Profitability】The Ordinary Income margin was 27.5% (31.2% in the previous year), while the Net Income margin, based on income attributable to owners of the parent, was 19.1% (21.9% in the previous year); both contracted from the previous year. This reflects funding costs increasing slightly faster than lending and investment income, with the quantitative effect of higher revenue absorbing the decline in margins.【Cash Flow Quality】Comprehensive income was ¥48.02B, substantially exceeding Net Income of ¥14.12B. The primary factors supporting this result were valuation differences on securities of ¥28.40B and an improvement in hedge valuation differences and gains/losses of ¥5.59B, indicating a high degree of dependence on valuation gains linked to market conditions.【Investment Efficiency】ROE was 2.3% (quarterly result). The DuPont decomposition comprised a Net Income margin of 19.0%, total asset turnover of 0.006x, and financial leverage of 20.1x. Under the high-leverage structure characteristic of banking, the decline in the Net Income margin is a factor depressing ROE.【Financial Soundness】The Equity Ratio was 5.0%, improving by 0.3pt from 4.7% in the previous year. The loan-to-deposit ratio declined from loans of ¥795.58B and deposits of ¥955.88B to 83.2% (86.4% in the previous year), while the general and administrative expense ratio (G&A/ordinary revenues) improved to 23.9% (31.3% in the previous year).
As the company is a bank, funding trends were assessed through the balance sheet instead of the statement of cash flows. Cash and deposits increased to ¥130.39B (¥115.34B in the previous year, +13.0%), indicating an accumulation of liquidity. Meanwhile, loans declined slightly to ¥795.58B (¥819.31B in the previous year, △2.9%), while securities increased to ¥218.25B (¥204.70B in the previous year, +6.6%), adding to investment assets. Deposits increased moderately to ¥955.88B (¥948.14B in the previous year, +0.8%), and sufficient highly liquid assets, including cash and deposits and securities, have been secured against funding through highly short-term instruments such as call money, repos, and CDs. Overall, the allocation of funds from loans toward securities and cash progressed somewhat, while funding stability has been maintained.
Profit for the current period had a clean composition led by ordinary revenues, while extraordinary items were limited to extraordinary losses of ¥0.03B, including impairment losses of ¥0.004B; the impact of temporary factors was negligible. Profit Before Taxes of ¥20.35B and Ordinary Income of ¥20.38B were nearly identical, indicating limited upward or downward impact from special operating and non-operating factors. On the other hand, Comprehensive Income of ¥48.02B exceeded Net Income of ¥14.12B by more than three times, primarily due to valuation differences on securities of ¥28.40B and the ¥5.59B improvement in hedge valuation differences and gains/losses. These items may reverse in response to fluctuations in market interest rates and prices. Accordingly, the core earning power based on Net Income must be distinguished from the capital-enhancement effect arising from OCI, and growth in Comprehensive Income does not necessarily indicate a corresponding improvement in sustainable earning power.
The full-year forecast is Ordinary Income of ¥74.50B (+20.1% YoY), EPS of ¥172.73, and a dividend of ¥70. Q1 Ordinary Income of ¥20.38B represented progress of 27.4% against the full-year forecast, exceeding the simple quarterly benchmark of 25%. Net Income attributable to owners of the parent also progressed at 27.7%, with Q1 results of ¥14.13B against the full-year forecast of ¥51.00B, indicating generally steady progress toward the full-year plan. No revisions were made to the earnings or dividend forecasts during the quarter.
The company forecasts an annual dividend of ¥70 per share, representing an increase from the previous year's actual dividend of ¥27. Based on 296,807,773 shares, calculated by deducting 8,520,148 treasury shares from 305,327,921 issued shares, total dividends are estimated at approximately ¥20.78B, resulting in a Payout Ratio of approximately 40.7% against the full-year Net Income forecast of ¥51.00B. Treasury shares increased to ¥11.57B (¥7.82B in the previous year, +47.9%), indicating the continuation of a shareholder-return policy alongside dividends.
Interest margin compression risk: The Net Income margin declined to 19.1% (21.9% in the previous year), while the Ordinary Income margin contracted to 27.5% (31.2% in the previous year). Ordinary expenses in the banking business increased by +46.4%, broadly in line with revenue growth of +44.6%, and the balance between rising funding costs and investment yields will determine future margin trends.
Volatility risk in market-related income and valuation differences: Valuation differences on securities of ¥28.40B and the ¥5.59B improvement in hedge valuation differences and gains/losses accounted for the majority of Comprehensive Income of ¥48.02B, resulting in a substantial divergence from Net Income of ¥14.12B. If market conditions reverse, these valuation gains may contract; therefore, their impact on the capital base must be monitored.
Concentration of the business portfolio: The Banking segment accounts for 87.6% of ordinary revenues, while Leasing and Other Businesses represent relatively small proportions. The company has a high degree of dependence on a single business, making overall performance more susceptible to changes in lending and interest-rate conditions.

Revenue growth (+39.0%) exceeded profit growth (Ordinary Income +22.5%, Net Income +21.1%), and the Ordinary Income margin contracted to 27.5% (31.2% in the previous year). This is a growth phase in which quantitative expansion is offsetting the decline in margins; going forward, the balance between funding costs and investment yields will determine the direction of margins.
As of Q1, progress was 27.4% for Ordinary Income and 27.7% for Net Income, representing generally steady progress toward the full-year plan.
Treasury shares increased by +47.9% YoY to ¥11.57B, and together with the dividend forecast of ¥70 (Payout Ratio of approximately 40.7%), this confirms the continuation of the shareholder-return policy.
