Quick View

Executive Summary

Against the backdrop of rising interest rates, the expansion of net interest income in the banking business resulted in higher revenue and profits, with progress toward the full-year targets also ahead of schedule. Revenue (ordinary revenues) was ¥32.42B, up +26.6% YoY; ordinary income was ¥8.59B, up +59.1%; and net income was ¥6.31B, up +64.7%. The profit growth rate substantially exceeded the revenue growth rate, primarily due to improved operating leverage resulting from higher interest on loans and restraint in the increase in operating expenses.

Factors Affecting Earnings

【Revenue】Revenue was ¥32.42B, up +26.6% YoY. By segment, the Banking Business led growth with ¥27.35B in revenue (84.4% composition ratio, YoY +31.0%), followed by the Leasing Business at ¥3.41B (up +6.9%) and Other Businesses at ¥1.66B (up +8.7%). In the Banking Business, interest on loans increased to ¥16.02B (+24.4%), while interest and dividend income rose to ¥2.896B, making improved yields on earning assets the primary driver of revenue growth.

【Earnings】Ordinary income was ¥8.59B (up +59.1% YoY), and net income was ¥6.31B (up +64.7%), with profit growth substantially exceeding revenue growth. Ordinary expenses increased only 18.6% to ¥23.84B. Although funding costs increased 73.6% to ¥5.05B, general and administrative expenses were contained at ¥12.84B, up 8.3%. Extraordinary items were limited, comprising extraordinary income of ¥0.003B and extraordinary losses of ¥0.007B, indicating that the profit increase was not attributable to temporary factors. The difference between ordinary income and net income was attributable to the tax burden (income taxes and other taxes of ¥2.28B), and there was no unusual factor in the conversion from profit before tax of ¥8.58B. In conclusion, the Company achieved both revenue and profit growth.

Segment Analysis

The Banking Business accounted for the majority of consolidated profits and was the primary driver of profit growth, recording ordinary revenues of ¥27.35B (up +31.0% YoY) and segment profit of ¥8.25B (up +60.9%). The Leasing Business was smaller in scale, with ordinary revenues of ¥3.41B (up +6.9%) and profit of ¥0.22B (up +23.2%), but expanded with a profit margin of 6.5%. Other Businesses, including securities and credit card operations, recorded ordinary revenues of ¥1.66B (up +8.7%) and profit of ¥0.21B (up +156.8%), representing substantial profit growth and the highest profit margin among the three segments at 12.6%. In addition to the benefits of rising interest rates in the Banking Business, improved profitability in the non-banking businesses also contributed to consolidated profit growth.

Key Financial Indicators

【Profitability】The net profit margin was 19.5%, improving from approximately 15.1% in the previous year period, while the ordinary income margin expanded to 26.5% from 21.1% in the previous year period. Ordinary revenues increased +26.6%, whereas ordinary expenses increased only +18.6%, demonstrating operating leverage.【Cash Quality】Comprehensive income was ¥4.54B, ¥1.78B below net income of ¥6.31B, primarily due to the deterioration of the valuation difference on other securities to negative ¥2.88B.【Investment Efficiency】Annualized ROE was 9.9%, while financial leverage (total assets/net assets) was approximately 26.4x, a high level characteristic of the banking industry. Given the low total asset turnover, ROE is structurally dependent on leverage.【Financial Soundness】The equity ratio was 3.8%, and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 81.5% (loans of ¥486.36B ÷ deposits of ¥597.01B), within an appropriate range. Borrowings were ¥37.87B, down 2.5% from the previous year period, with funding supplemented by an increase in deposits.

Cash Flow Analysis

As cash flow statement data has not been disclosed, funding trends are analyzed based on changes in the balance sheet. Cash and due from banks increased 9.3% YoY to ¥77.36B, while deposits increased 2.1% to ¥597.01B, indicating continued stable expansion in funding. Meanwhile, loans increased only slightly by 0.4% to ¥486.36B, and part of the increase in deposits was allocated to securities (¥89.89B, up +3.3% YoY) and additional cash and due from banks. Borrowings declined 2.5% YoY to ¥37.87B, indicating that the Company is reducing its reliance on external borrowings and maintaining a deposit-centered funding structure. Comprehensive income remained below net income due to the deterioration in valuation differences on securities. Accordingly, changes in valuation differences should also be reviewed when assessing the quality of earnings.

Earnings Quality

Profit growth during the period was not attributable to extraordinary items; extraordinary income of ¥0.003B and extraordinary losses of ¥0.007B were both insignificant, and earnings were supported by recurring operating revenues. The primary driver of profit growth was the relatively moderate increase in ordinary expenses (+18.6%) compared with the increase in ordinary revenues (+26.6%), confirming improved cost efficiency. However, funding costs increased +73.6%, exceeding the +30.2% growth in interest and investment income, creating a risk that net interest income growth could slow if the rise in deposit interest rates continues. Comprehensive income was ¥4.54B, ¥1.78B below net income of ¥6.31B, while the valuation difference on other securities (negative ¥2.88B) reduced accrual-based earnings quality through changes in the market value of capital. Overall, recurring revenue-generating capability remains sound, but earnings quality requires a certain degree of monitoring due to fluctuations in securities valuations.

Earnings Forecasts and Guidance

Against the full-year ordinary income forecast of ¥28.50B, Q1 ordinary income of ¥8.59B represented progress of 30.1%. Against the full-year net income forecast of ¥19.10B, Q1 net income of ¥6.31B represented progress of 33.0%. Both exceeded the standard 25% progress benchmark. While the full-year ordinary income forecast implies YoY growth of +12.9%, Q1 actual ordinary income increased +59.1%, suggesting that management has adopted conservative assumptions incorporating higher funding costs and other factors toward the second half of the fiscal year. No revisions were made to the earnings forecast or dividend forecast during the quarter.

Shareholder Returns

The full-year dividend forecast is ¥27.5 per share. Based on the full-year net income forecast of ¥19.10B and average shares outstanding during the period of 278.44M shares, the forecast payout ratio is approximately 40.1%. The dividend in the previous year period was ¥10.5, indicating an increase compared with the full-year forecast of ¥27.5. A payout ratio of approximately 40% is not excessive relative to the profit level, assuming achievement of the full-year earnings forecast. However, in the banking industry, retained earnings also affect the adequacy of regulatory capital. Accordingly, the equity ratio and trends in valuation differences on securities should also be monitored. No data on share repurchases has been disclosed.

Risk Factors

1. Net Interest Margin Compression Risk: Interest on deposits surged +74.4% YoY, and the growth in funding costs (+73.6%) exceeded the growth in interest and investment income (+30.2%). If funding cost increases outpace improvements in asset yields during the interest rate normalization phase, the pace of net interest income growth may slow.

2. Securities Valuation and Capital Volatility Risk: The valuation difference on other securities was negative ¥10.80B, deteriorating from negative ¥7.94B in the previous year period, and comprehensive income was ¥1.78B below net income. The structure in which rising interest rates and fluctuations in market prices place pressure on capital through other comprehensive income remains in place.

3. Business Concentration Risk: Banking segment profit accounted for ¥8.25B of consolidated ordinary income of ¥8.59B, indicating a high degree of dependence. Consequently, trends in the regional economy, loan demand, and changes in the competitive environment may directly affect consolidated performance.

Key Takeaways from the Earnings Results

1. Ordinary income and net income both increased by more than +59% YoY, while progress toward the full-year forecasts—30.1% for ordinary income and 33.0% for net income—exceeded the standard 25%. The expansion of earnings in the Banking Business against the backdrop of rising interest rates contributed to the results.

2. Ordinary revenues increased +26.6%, whereas ordinary expenses increased only +18.6%, confirming improved operating leverage. However, funding costs increased +73.6%, exceeding the growth in interest and investment income, and the sustainability of rising funding costs will determine future earnings trends.

3. Comprehensive income was limited to ¥4.54B compared with net income of ¥6.31B, with the deterioration in the valuation difference on other securities being the primary cause of the gap. The fact that profit growth did not translate into an equivalent accumulation of capital is an important consideration when assessing capital quality.
