Executive Summary
The quarter was characterized by higher revenue and higher earnings, with a sharp recovery in non-interest income and market-related income significantly boosting ordinary income. Ordinary revenue was ¥7,863.9B (+20.5% YoY), while ordinary income was ¥1,734.7B (+108.5%). Consolidated net income was ¥1,427.2B (+52.6%), of which net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥1,422.2B (+56.6%). The primary drivers of earnings growth were the expansion of adjusted business net profit, centered on the Markets Business, and improved cost efficiency. Although extraordinary income of ¥190.4B was recorded, this was lower than the previous year’s ¥410.7B, indicating that the earnings growth was driven by the core business.
Factors Affecting Performance
【Revenue】Ordinary revenue was ¥7,863.9B (+20.5% YoY). By segment, adjusted gross business profit (based on internal management accounting) for the Markets Business expanded sharply from ¥54.6B to ¥228.8B (+319.3%). Non-interest income-oriented segments also drove growth, with the Real Estate Business increasing from ¥125.7B to ¥170.5B (+35.6%) and the Asset Management Group increasing from ¥640.2B to ¥795.1B (+24.2%). The Retail Business increased steadily from ¥673.0B to ¥775.1B (+15.2%), while the Corporate Business rose from ¥826.2B to ¥936.0B (+13.3%). Adjusted gross business profit for the Company as a whole increased from ¥2,225.2B to ¥2,864.7B (+28.7%).
【Earnings】Adjusted business net profit increased from ¥746.5B to ¥1,225.9B (+64.2%). As gross profit growth (+28.7%) outpaced the increase in total expenses (+10.8%), the cost-to-income ratio improved from 66.5% to 57.2%. The primary driver of overall earnings growth was the sharp expansion in adjusted business net profit for the Markets Business, from ¥0.8B to ¥160.1B. Ordinary income, after adjustments for differences, was ¥1,734.7B (+108.5%). Although extraordinary income of ¥190.4B was recorded, compared with ¥410.7B in the previous year, its scale was lower than the previous year, indicating that this period’s earnings growth was largely attributable to improvements in the core business. After deducting income taxes and other taxes of ¥493.1B from profit before tax of ¥1,920.3B, consolidated net income was ¥1,427.2B (+52.6%), of which net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥1,422.2B (+56.6%). Revenue and earnings increased.
Segment Analysis
On an adjusted business net profit basis, the Corporate Business maintained stable growth, increasing from ¥549.8B to ¥617.2B (+12.3%), while the Asset Management Group and Real Estate Business posted substantial earnings growth, increasing from ¥238.9B to ¥349.2B (+46.2%) and from ¥46.0B to ¥82.0B (+78.3%), respectively. The largest change was in the Markets Business, where adjusted business net profit expanded sharply from ¥0.8B to just ¥16.0B, reflecting the improved earnings environment. The Retail Business also improved from ¥158.7B to ¥220.0B (+38.7%). In terms of contribution to the Company-wide total, the Corporate Business, with a composition ratio of 50.4%, remained the largest source of profit, but growth in the Asset Management Group and Markets Business led the earnings increase this quarter.
Key Financial Indicators
【Profitability】The ordinary income margin improved by approximately 930bp to 22.1% from 12.8% in the previous year, while the net profit margin, based on net income attributable to owners of the parent, also improved by approximately 420bp to 18.1% from 13.9% in the previous year. ROE was 3.9%, with the growth in consolidated net income serving as the primary driver in the DuPont decomposition. 【Cash Flow Quality】Extraordinary income of ¥190.4B accounted for approximately 9.9% of profit before tax of ¥1,920.3B. However, its contribution declined from the previous year, when extraordinary income was ¥410.7B against profit before tax of ¥1,237.2B, or approximately 33.2%. Thus, the contribution of temporary factors to earnings growth has diminished. 【Investment Efficiency】Ordinary revenue amounted to approximately 0.93% of total assets of ¥84,227.5B, representing the total asset turnover ratio and highlighting the large asset scale characteristic of a trust bank. 【Financial Soundness】The equity ratio (net assets / total assets) was 4.4%, broadly flat from 4.3% in the previous year. The loan-to-deposit ratio declined from 83.2% in the previous year to 79.1%, based on loans of ¥33,581.2B and deposits of ¥42,460.2B. The pace of deposit growth (+6.2%) exceeded loan growth (+0.9%).
Cash Flow Analysis
As data from the statement of cash flows has not been disclosed, funding trends are assessed based on changes in the balance sheet. Deposits increased by +6.2% from the end of the same period of the previous year to ¥42,460.2B, loans increased by +0.9% to ¥33,581.2B, and securities increased by +18.7% to ¥15,928.0B, all showing an upward trend. Intangible fixed assets increased by +55.1%, from ¥1,878.5B at the end of the same period of the previous year to ¥2,914.0B, suggesting increased investment in systems and related areas. Treasury stock expanded significantly from ¥60.4B to ¥557.2B, reflecting progress in share repurchases. Short-term bonds payable of ¥25,282.5B and market-based funding related to repo and cash collateralized transactions also remained at certain levels. Overall, the funding structure combines stable funding centered on deposits with market-based funding as a supplementary source.
Earnings Quality
Although this period’s earnings growth was supported by extraordinary income of ¥190.4B, or approximately 9.9% of profit before tax, its contribution clearly declined from extraordinary income of ¥410.7B in the same period of the previous year, which represented approximately 33.2% of profit before tax at that time. This indicates a stronger contribution from improvements in core business profitability. In terms of non-operating and ordinary revenue, fee income increased from ¥1,198.3B to ¥1,466.3B (+22.4%), while trading income surged from ¥19.6B to ¥305.9B. The expansion of non-interest income supported the growth in adjusted business net profit. Comprehensive income was ¥2,310.2B, approximately ¥883B above consolidated net income of ¥1,427.2B. This difference was attributable to valuation-related OCI items, including a hedge valuation difference of +¥650.2B, a securities valuation difference of +¥157.2B, and foreign currency translation adjustments of +¥97.3B. As these valuation gains and losses may reverse depending on market fluctuations, it should be noted that whether the boost to comprehensive income in the current period represents a strengthening of the sustainable earnings base will depend on future market conditions.
Earnings Forecast and Guidance
The Company has not revised either its earnings forecast or dividend forecast during the quarter. Against the full-year forecast of ¥380.0B in net income attributable to owners of the parent, first-quarter actual net income of ¥1,422.2B represented a progress rate of 37.4%, exceeding the 25% benchmark for quarterly progress. Although first-quarter actual EPS of ¥204.72 cannot be compared directly with the full-year forecast EPS of ¥137.67, the rapid pace of earnings progress is evident.
Shareholder Returns
The Company’s dividend forecast is ¥23.75 per share for the interim period and ¥23.75 per share at year-end, on a post-stock-split basis, for an annual total of ¥47.5. Based on forecast EPS of ¥137.67, the payout ratio is approximately 34.5%. The Company conducted a 4-for-1 stock split of its common shares, effective August 1, 2026. Without taking the split into account, the annual dividend total would be equivalent to ¥190. As treasury stock increased from ¥60.4B at the end of the same period of the previous year to ¥557.2B, progress in share repurchases can also be confirmed. However, the total return ratio cannot be calculated from the disclosed data; therefore, the Company is evaluated based on the payout ratio alone.
Risk Factors
-
Increased sensitivity to market-related income: Adjusted business net profit for the Markets Business expanded sharply from ¥0.8B to ¥160.1B, becoming a major driver of earnings growth this period. The segment’s earnings structure is susceptible to fluctuations in market conditions.
-
Relative capital thickness: The equity ratio (net assets / total assets) was 4.4%, broadly flat from the previous year’s 4.3%. Net assets of ¥3,698.6B against total assets of ¥84,227.5B indicate structurally high balance-sheet leverage characteristic of a trust bank, at approximately 22.8 times based on total assets / net assets. The pace of capital accumulation will therefore remain an item requiring close monitoring.
-
Decline in the loan-to-deposit ratio and funding composition: The loan-to-deposit ratio was 79.1%, down from 83.2% in the same period of the previous year. Deposits are growing (+6.2%) faster than loans (+0.9%). Market-based funding, including short-term bonds payable and repo and cash collateralized transactions, is also maintained at a certain scale, making funding cost trends amid changes in the interest-rate environment a key monitoring point.

Key Takeaways from the Financial Results
-
Expansion in non-interest income-oriented segments, including the Markets Business, Asset Management Group, and Real Estate Business, drove earnings growth. Adjusted business net profit increased by +64.2%, while the cost-to-income ratio improved from 66.5% to 57.2%. The simultaneous progress in diversification of the earnings structure and cost efficiency is an important point in assessing earnings quality.
-
Against the full-year forecast of ¥380.0B in net income attributable to owners of the parent, progress for the current quarter was 37.4%, exceeding the standard quarterly progress benchmark of 25%.
-
Comprehensive income of ¥2,310.2B exceeded net income by approximately ¥883B, most of which was attributable to valuation-related OCI items, such as hedge valuation differences. As valuation gains may reverse due to market fluctuations, future market conditions will be key to determining the extent to which the current earnings expansion translates into a strengthening of the sustainable earnings base.

AI Financial Analysis
Executive Summary
FY2027 Q1 was a very strong start, with broad-based trust-banking earnings growth and substantial operating leverage. Consolidated revenue increased 20.5% year on year to ¥786.4bn. Ordinary income more than doubled, rising 108.5% to ¥173.5bn. Profit attributable to owners of the parent increased 56.6% to ¥142.2bn, equivalent to basic EPS of ¥204.72 on the pre-stock-split share basis applicable to the quarter. Net profit margin expanded to 18.1% from 13.9% a year earlier, a gain of approximately 420bp. EBIT margin was 22.1%, compared with an implied prior-year ordinary-income margin of 12.7%, indicating approximately 940bp of margin expansion. The improvement was supported by a 28.7% increase in group-managed substantial gross business profit to ¥286.5bn, while segment-level total expenses rose a more moderate 10.8% to ¥163.9bn. Corporate business remained the core business by contribution, generating ¥61.7bn of substantial net business profit. The asset management group and market business were the principal incremental earnings contributors, while real estate also delivered rapid profit growth. Ordinary-income growth also benefited from ¥74.8bn of other ordinary income, up 83.5% year on year, although the composition is not available here. Pre-tax profit included a net extraordinary gain of ¥18.6bn, principally extraordinary income of ¥19.0bn. This item lifted reported Q1 earnings but is non-recurring in nature and should not be extrapolated as underlying earnings. Comprehensive income nearly doubled to ¥231.0bn, supported by positive valuation differences on securities and foreign-currency translation effects. The annualized DuPont ROE was 15.4%, reaching the threshold generally associated with strong profitability, although it is structurally dependent on bank-style balance-sheet leverage. The Q1 profit attributable to owners represents 37.4% of the ¥380.0bn full-year forecast, 12.4 percentage points ahead of the standard 25% first-quarter progress rate. This creates scope for a stronger full-year outcome if fee, asset-management and market conditions persist, but first-quarter market-related income and the extraordinary gain warrant caution when assessing run-rate earnings. The planned four-for-one stock split changes per-share comparability: the full-year forecast DPS of ¥47.50 and EPS of ¥137.67 are on the post-split basis.
Profitability Analysis
The annualized 15.4% ROE decomposes into an 18.1% net profit margin, 0.037x asset turnover and 22.77x financial leverage. Financial leverage is by far the largest numerical contributor to ROE, reflecting the deposit-funded balance-sheet structure typical of a banking group rather than conventional corporate borrowing. The principal year-on-year improvement in the earnings outcome was margin expansion: revenue rose 20.5%, whereas the reported general and administrative expense line increased only 3.2% to ¥143.3bn; on the internal-management segment basis, substantial gross business profit grew 28.7% while expenses rose 10.8%. This indicates positive operating leverage rather than cost inflation eroding the revenue gain. Corporate business is the core business, producing ¥61.7bn of substantial net business profit, up 12.3% year on year, on ¥936.0bn of substantial gross business profit, up 13.3%. The asset management group generated ¥34.9bn of net business profit, up 46.2%, with gross business profit up 24.2% to ¥795.1bn; this was a major source of improved earnings mix. Personal business produced ¥22.0bn, up 38.6%, and real estate produced ¥8.2bn, up 78.4%, with particularly strong 35.6% gross-profit growth in real estate. Market business improved from ¥0.8bn to ¥16.0bn of net business profit as gross business profit increased to ¥228.8bn from ¥54.6bn, making it a major but potentially more volatile contributor. The group-managed cost-to-gross-profit ratio improved to 57.2% from 66.5%, demonstrating a material efficiency gain. The effective tax rate was 25.7%, and the tax-burden factor of 0.741 was normal. The interest-burden factor of 1.107 reflects that non-operating and extraordinary items resulted in pre-tax profit exceeding the stated EBIT measure; it should not be interpreted as conventional industrial-company interest coverage. The reported 4.4% capital adequacy ratio is below the stated 8% Basel III benchmark and requires close monitoring as reported, although bank capital assessment should ultimately be based on the institution's regulatory CET1 and total-capital disclosures.
Growth Assessment
Revenue growth of 20.5% was supported by higher interest income, fees and commissions, trust fees and trading income. Interest income rose 23.4% to ¥363.5bn, while interest expense increased 12.9% to ¥347.3bn, expanding net interest income to ¥16.2bn from a negative ¥13.0bn in the comparable quarter. Fees and commissions income increased 22.4% to ¥146.6bn, exceeding the 21.8% rise in fee expense, and trust fees rose 9.0% to ¥31.7bn. Loan balances grew 0.9% year on year to ¥33.58tn, while deposits grew 6.2% to ¥42.46tn, leaving the balance sheet well funded by customer deposits. Securities increased 18.7% to ¥15.93tn, increasing sensitivity to market yields and valuation movements while also supporting interest and dividend income, which rose 55.1% to ¥112.1bn. Segment results show that growth was diversified across corporate, personal, asset-management, real-estate and market activities rather than concentrated in one franchise. The asset management group’s strong 46.2% increase in net business profit is strategically important because fee-led income can be more capital-efficient than balance-sheet expansion. Market business’s sharp recovery is positive for Q1, but its earnings contribution is generally more exposed to rates, spreads, client flow and investment-market conditions. Full-year attributable profit guidance is ¥380.0bn, and Q1 progress of 37.4% is above the standard 25% pace by more than 10 percentage points. The Q1 outperformance includes the ¥18.6bn net extraordinary gain and therefore does not by itself establish a full-year recurring run rate. Management has not revised its full-year earnings or dividend forecast.
Financial Health
Total assets increased 2.5% year on year to ¥84.23tn, while total equity increased 3.0% to ¥3.70tn and owners' equity increased 3.0% to ¥3.66tn. Liabilities represented 95.6% of total assets, consistent with a financial institution funded primarily through deposits and wholesale liabilities. The reported debt-to-equity ratio of 21.77x is above the 2.0x warning threshold and must be viewed as a material leverage warning under a conventional credit framework. Its root cause is the banking model: deposits of ¥42.46tn, negotiable certificates of deposit of ¥10.21tn, borrowings of ¥7.19tn, bonds of ¥3.90tn and repurchase-agreement liabilities of ¥3.58tn fund lending, securities and liquidity assets. This level of leverage is structurally typical for a bank, but it makes capital adequacy, funding stability and asset-value preservation more important to the investment case than a conventional corporate D/E comparison. Cash and due from banks were ¥23.43tn, exceeding the combined ¥6.11tn of short-term bonds payable and repurchase-agreement liabilities, providing substantial immediately available liquidity against these identified short-term funding sources. Deposits exceeded loans by ¥8.88tn, implying an LDR of approximately 79.1%, within the 70-90% reference range and indicating that loans are substantially deposit funded. The reported 4.4% capital adequacy ratio is below the stated minimum benchmark and is a significant regulatory-capital risk if it represents the applicable Basel measure. Intangible assets increased ¥103.5bn, or 55.1%, to ¥291.4bn, but remained only 0.3% of total assets; thus, the increase does not presently create material balance-sheet concentration. Treasury stock increased in absolute carrying value by ¥49.7bn to negative ¥55.7bn, consistent with a material increase in shares held in treasury and/or repurchase activity. Deferred tax liabilities increased ¥34.6bn to ¥279.1bn, consistent with the larger positive valuation and translation reserves in equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income rose ¥88.3bn to ¥802.1bn, led by positive valuation differences on securities and foreign currency translation adjustments, which also means equity remains exposed to market-price and exchange-rate movements.
Notable B/S Changes
Treasury stock: increased by ¥49.7bn to negative ¥55.7bn (absolute carrying value +822.3%) - indicates a material increase in treasury share holdings and/or repurchase-related capital allocation. Intangible assets: increased by ¥103.5bn to ¥291.4bn (+55.1%) - monitor subsequent amortization and impairment, although the balance remains only 0.3% of total assets. Securities: increased by ¥2.51tn (+18.7%) to ¥15.93tn - expands interest-income capacity but increases exposure to rate, spread and valuation movements. Deposits: increased by ¥2.47tn (+6.2%) to ¥42.46tn - strengthens the customer-funding base and supports the approximately 79.1% loan-to-deposit ratio. Borrowings: decreased by ¥1.52tn (-17.5%) to ¥7.19tn - reduces reliance on this wholesale funding source, partly offsetting the rise in deposit funding. Accumulated other comprehensive income: increased by ¥88.3bn (+12.4%) to ¥802.1bn - supports book equity but increases sensitivity to securities valuations, FX and hedging outcomes.
Cash Flow Quality
Reported operating, investing and financing cash-flow figures are not available for this period. Accordingly, OCF-to-net-income conversion, free-cash-flow generation, capital-expenditure funding and working-capital cash conversion cannot be assessed from the available figures. Earnings quality can nevertheless be assessed partly from the income statement: ordinary income of ¥173.5bn was supported by a ¥122.6bn group-managed substantial net business profit, together with ¥74.8bn of other ordinary income. Pre-tax profit additionally included a ¥18.6bn net extraordinary gain, mainly from ¥19.0bn of extraordinary income, which is non-recurring and increased reported net income. The low impairment loss of ¥0.4bn does not offset this positive extraordinary item materially. The sharp improvement in net interest income, fee income and segment gross profit indicates that a meaningful portion of the earnings increase arose from operating franchise performance, but the absence of cash-flow data prevents confirmation of cash realization.
Dividend Sustainability
The company forecasts FY2027 annual DPS of ¥47.50 on a post-four-for-one-stock-split basis, equivalent to ¥190.00 before reflecting the split. Based on forecast EPS of ¥137.67 on the same post-split basis, the implied dividend payout ratio is approximately 34.5%. This is below the 60% sustainability reference point and leaves a substantial share of forecast earnings available for capital retention. Q1 attributable profit of ¥142.2bn already represents 37.4% of the ¥380.0bn full-year profit forecast, supporting the affordability of the stated dividend provided earnings normalize near guidance. The increase in treasury stock by ¥49.7bn suggests that capital return may also include repurchase-related activity; where repurchases are included, the appropriate measure is total return ratio rather than dividend payout ratio. Free-cash-flow coverage cannot be assessed from the available information. For a bank, the sustainability of distributions will depend principally on regulatory capital, earnings volatility and funding conditions, particularly given the reported 4.4% capital adequacy ratio.
Risk Assessment
Business risks include Interest-rate and yield-curve risk: securities rose 18.7% year on year to ¥15.93tn, while positive securities valuation reserves contribute to equity sensitivity to market rates., Market-business volatility: market business generated ¥16.0bn of Q1 substantial net business profit versus ¥0.8bn a year earlier; the improvement is meaningful but vulnerable to trading conditions, customer flow, credit spreads and investment-market movements., Asset-management and real-estate cycle risk: strong earnings growth in the asset management group and real estate business may moderate if asset prices, transaction volumes, fund inflows or property activity weaken., Credit and counterparty risk: ¥33.58tn of loans, ¥15.93tn of securities and sizeable repo-related activity expose the group to borrower defaults, issuer stress and counterparty dislocation..
Financial risks include HIGH_LEVERAGE alert: reported D/E of 21.77x is well above the 2.0x warning threshold. The root cause is the deposit-funded banking model, which is structurally more leveraged than industrial companies; the impact is heightened sensitivity of equity and regulatory capital to credit losses, valuation losses and funding stress., BANK_PROFITABILITY alert: the supplied NIM of 0.05% is below the 1.5% warning threshold. The low level reflects a narrow reported interest margin despite the Q1 swing to positive net interest income of ¥16.2bn; the impact is that small changes in funding costs, deposit pricing or asset yields can have an outsized effect on recurring profitability., Capital adequacy risk: the reported capital adequacy ratio is 4.4%, below the stated 8% minimum and 12% strong benchmarks. If this is the applicable regulatory ratio, capital management and distribution capacity would be a priority concern., Funding and liquidity risk: although the approximately 79.1% LDR and ¥23.43tn of cash and due from banks are supportive, the group also relies on CDs, bonds, borrowings and repo funding, which can reprice or become less available during market stress., OCI and valuation risk: accumulated OCI was ¥802.1bn, including ¥350.3bn of securities valuation differences and ¥181.7bn of deferred hedge gains; movements in rates, credit spreads, FX and hedge effectiveness can affect equity..
Key concerns include Q1 pre-tax income included a ¥18.6bn net extraordinary gain, reducing the comparability of reported profit with recurring earnings., The gap between Q1 profit progress and the full-year forecast is substantial, with 37.4% achieved against a standard 25% first-quarter pace; sustainability depends on the persistence of market-related and other ordinary income., The large year-on-year increase in intangible assets should be monitored for future amortization or impairment, although intangible assets remain only 0.3% of total assets., The reporting-segment reorganization effective FY2027 Q1 changes the presentation of the asset-management businesses and places the equity-method investee formerly known as Sumishin SBI Net Bank within personal business, affecting historical interpretation of segment mix..
Investment Implications
Key takeaways include Q1 showed strong franchise momentum: revenue grew 20.5%, ordinary income grew 108.5% and attributable profit grew 56.6% year on year., Operating leverage was favorable, with group-managed gross business profit up 28.7% and expenses up 10.8%, improving the cost-to-gross-profit ratio by approximately 930bp., Corporate business remained the largest earnings contributor, while asset management, real estate and market businesses supplied the strongest incremental growth., The annualized 15.4% ROE is strong, but it is enabled by 22.77x financial leverage and therefore must be assessed alongside capital adequacy and risk-adjusted earnings stability., The implied 34.5% forecast dividend payout ratio is moderate, but capital return capacity remains tied to regulatory capital and the durability of earnings..
Metrics to watch include Net interest margin, deposit repricing, funding costs and the sustainability of positive net interest income., Regulatory CET1, total capital and clarification of the reported 4.4% capital adequacy ratio., Asset-management net flows, fee income growth and profitability of the newly combined asset management group., Market-business earnings normalization after the sharp Q1 increase., Credit costs, loan-loss allowance movements and asset quality across the ¥33.58tn loan portfolio., Securities valuation changes, OCI movements and the interest-rate sensitivity of the ¥15.93tn securities portfolio., Progress against the ¥380.0bn full-year attributable-profit forecast and the recurrence of other ordinary income and extraordinary gains..
Regarding relative positioning, The group combines a large deposit-funded trust-bank balance sheet with diversified personal, corporate, asset-management, real-estate and market franchises. Q1 profitability and expense discipline were strong, particularly in fee-related and market-linked activities, while the low supplied NIM, high structural leverage and reported capital adequacy ratio remain the principal financial sensitivities relative to bank-sector benchmarks.
