OVERVIEW
The following discussion provides management’s explanation of factors and events that have significantly affected our financial condition and results of operations. Also included is management’s assessment of factors and trends which are anticipated to have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations in the future. However, please be advised that our financial condition and results of operations in the future may also be affected by factors other than those discussed here. This discussion should be read in conjunction with “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” and “Item 18. Financial Statements” included in this annual report.
Basic approach to financial and capital strategy
Regarding funding activities, we strive to maintain a high ratio of long-term funds procured and staggered repayment periods, keeping in mind the diversification and balance of fund procurement methods and sources. We strive to ensure that liquidity on hand is at an appropriate level through stress testing and other means. With regard to shareholders’ equity, we measure risk in all assets using our own method, and strive to monitor the ratio of use of shareholders’ equity at an appropriate level while considering the balance between flexibility and financial soundness for new investments.
ORIX is working to measure and evaluate its capital adequacy, financing conditions, and asset quality internally, and regularly confirm evaluations from credit rating agencies.
The issuer ratings (or counterparty ratings) that the ORIX Group has obtained from rating agencies as of the filing date of this annual report are “BBB+” for S&P Global Ratings Japan, “A3” for Moody’s Investors Service, “A-” for Fitch Ratings Japan, “AA” for Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), and “AA” for Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. (JCR).
Major Use of funding
The ORIX Group’s major uses of funding include purchases of leased assets, such as office equipment, automobiles, ICT equipment, measuring equipment, real estate, and aircraft, origination of loans, purchases of investment securities, purchases of business assets, and investment in companies.
Results Overview
In fiscal 2026, net income attributable to ORIX corporation shareholders increased 27% to ¥447.3 billion compared to fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2026, ROE was 10.4%.

Table of Contents
Total segment profits in fiscal 2026 increased 35% to ¥732.6 billion to compared to fiscal 2025 due to a decrease in segment profit in Banking and Credit, Aircraft and Ships, and ORIX USA, offset by an increase in segment profit in Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, PE Investment and Concession, Environment and Energy, Insurance, ORIX Europe, and Asia and Australia. The summary of the main factors behind the consolidated business results for fiscal 2026 is included in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—The Fiscal Year vs Last Fiscal Year” in this annual report.
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 real estate loans for consumers, 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 focus 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. 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 finance 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. In addition, revenues from guarantees, which are from commission income by guarantees against loans disbursed by other financial institutions, are also included in finance revenues.

Table of Contents
Securities investment activities originated by the Company were extended to certain group companies, including our subsidiaries operating in the Americas.
Sales of goods and real estate consists of revenues from sales of real estate and various types of goods.
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, automobile related services, facilities operation, environment and energy services, real estate management, brokerage and contract work, maintenance services of software, measurement equipment and other, and fee business.
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 credit 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, 2026 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2025” and “Year Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2024.”
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.

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 operating segments used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocations and assess performance are organized into ten segments based on our business management organization which is classified by the nature of major products and services, customer base, regulations, and business areas. The ten segments are Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, PE Investment and Concession, Environment and Energy, Insurance, Banking and Credit, Aircraft and Ships, ORIX USA, ORIX Europe, and Asia and Australia.
Financial information about the operating segments reported below is that which is available by segment and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocations and assess performance. The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance based on the amount equivalent to income before income taxes attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders. Therefore, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, and income tax expenses are not included in segment profit or loss.
Effective April 1, 2026, we changed our operating segments used by our chief operating decision maker for allocating resources and assessing performance. Accordingly, segment information based on the new operating segment structure will be disclosed beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

As of March 31, 2026, ¥15,191 million, or 0.4%, 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, 2026, ¥677,278 million, or 16.2%, of the balance of installment loans were to real estate companies in Japan and overseas.
The balance of installment loans to consumer borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2026 increased 4% to ¥2,059,602 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in new loans added. The balance of installment loans to corporate borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2026 increased 9% to ¥1,033,224 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in new loans added in the banking business. The balance of installment loans to consumer borrowers in overseas as of March 31, 2026 decreased 18% to ¥77,424 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of such loans in Asia. The balance of installment loans to corporate borrowers overseas as of March 31, 2026 increased 7% to ¥966,575 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the Americas. The balance of installment loans to equity method investees as of March 31, 2026 decreased 84% to ¥20,543 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2025, primarily due to the termination of loans.

Table of Contents
We believe that the ratio of allowance for credit losses to the balance of investment in net investment in leases provides a reasonable indication that our allowance for credit losses was appropriate as of March 31, 2026 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 assets, and we can expect to recover at least a portion of the outstanding lease receivables by selling the collateral.

Property under facility operations as of March 31, 2026 increased 1% to ¥779,075 million compared to March 31, 2025 primarily due to investments in electric power facilities overseas.

Write-downs of long-lived assets
As a result of impairment reviews we performed in fiscal 2026 for long-lived assets in Japan and overseas, such as office buildings, commercial facilities other than office buildings, condominiums, hotels, and land undeveloped or under construction, write-downs of long-lived assets decreased by ¥9,691 million to ¥16,242 million in fiscal 2026 compared to ¥25,933 million in fiscal 2025. These write-downs, which are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets, consisted of impairment losses of ¥696 million on 2 commercial facilities other than office buildings, ¥43 million on 8 condominiums and ¥15,503 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. For further information, see Note 25 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”
Write-downs of securities
Write-downs of securities in fiscal 2026 were mainly in connection with non-marketable equity securities and foreign available-for-sale debt securities.

Segment Information
Our operating segments used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocations and assess performance are organized into ten segments based on our business management organization which is classified by the nature of major products and services, customer base, regulations, and business areas. The ten segments are Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, PE Investment and Concession, Environment and Energy, Insurance, Banking and Credit, Aircraft and Ships, ORIX USA, ORIX Europe, and Asia and Australia.
Financial information about the operating segments reported below is that which is available by segment and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocations and assess performance. The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance based on the amount equivalent to income before income taxes attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders. Therefore, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, and income tax expenses are not included in segment profit or loss.
Since April 1, 2024, the interest expense allocation method for each segment was changed to include a part of interest expense in corporate profits (losses) in the reconciliation of segment profits to the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts. As a result, segment data for fiscal 2024 has been retrospectively reclassified.
Since April 1, 2024, the scope of segment assets was changed to include cash and cash equivalents, trade notes, accounts and other receivable, and others. As a result, segment data as of the end of fiscal 2024 has been retrospectively reclassified.

As of March 31, 2025, ¥12,806 million, or 0.4%, 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, 2025, ¥644,459 million, or 16%, of the balance of installment loans were to real estate companies in Japan and overseas.
The balance of installment loans to consumer borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2025 increased 2% to ¥1,976,927 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in new loans added. The balance of installment loans to corporate borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2025 increased 42% to ¥950,413 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in new loans added in the banking business. The balance of installment loans to consumer borrowers in overseas as of March 31, 2025 decreased 34% to ¥94,194 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in Asia. The balance of installment loans to corporate borrowers in overseas as of March 31, 2025 decreased 4% to ¥906,620 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the Americas. The balance of installment loans to equity method investees as of March 31, 2025 decreased 48% to ¥131,476 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to the termination of loans.

* Average balances are calculated on the basis of fiscal year’s beginning balance and fiscal quarter-end balances.
The balance of non-performing net investment in leases increased ¥1,015 million to ¥21,820 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. As a result, the non-performing net investment in leases as a percentage of net investment in leases as of March 31, 2025 increased 0.07% to 1.87% from March 31, 2024.
We believe that the ratio of allowance for credit losses to the balance of investment in net investment in leases provides a reasonable indication that our allowance for credit losses was appropriate as of March 31, 2025 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 assets, and we can expect to recover at least a portion of the outstanding lease receivables by selling the collateral.

The provision on installment loans individually assessed for credit losses were ¥10,806 million and ¥6,962 million in fiscal 2024 and 2025, respectively. The provision for credit losses on loans individually assessed decreased mainly in the Americas.
The provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures in fiscal 2024 was a reversal of ¥440 million, which was mainly caused by the re-valuation of past loss experience, current economic and business conditions and forecasts in Japan. The provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures in fiscal 2025 was ¥5,297 million, which was mainly due to the deterioration in macroeconomic forecasts in certain markets in the Americas.

New assets added for property under facility operations decreased 63% to ¥44,236 million in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to a decrease in investments in electric power facilities overseas.
Property under facility operations as of March 31, 2025 increased 12% to ¥771,851 million compared to March 31, 2024 primarily due to investments in electric power facilities overseas and completion of domestic property under facility operations.

Employee salaries and other personnel expenses accounted for 57% of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2025, and the remaining portion consists of selling expenses and other administrative expenses, such as IT-related expenses and advertising expenses.
Write-downs of long-lived assets
As a result of impairment reviews we performed in fiscal 2025 for long-lived assets in Japan and overseas, such as office buildings, commercial facilities other than office buildings, condominiums, hotels, and land undeveloped or under construction, write-downs of long-lived assets increased by ¥24,209 million to ¥25,933 million in fiscal 2025 compared to ¥1,724 million in fiscal 2024. These write-downs, which are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets, consisted of impairment losses of ¥31 million on 20 condominiums and ¥25,902 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. For further information, see Note 25 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”
Write-downs of securities
Write-downs of securities in fiscal 2025 were in connection with non-marketable equity securities. Write-downs of securities decreased to ¥554 million in fiscal 2025 compared to ¥315 million in fiscal 2024. For further information, see Note 9 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”
Equity in net income (loss) of equity method investments
Equity in net income (loss) of equity method investments increased in fiscal 2025 to ¥57,182 million compared to ¥36,774 million in fiscal 2024 due to increases in equity in net income (loss) of equity method investments from domestic investees, partially offset by decreases in equity net income (loss) of equity method investments from overseas investees. For further information, see Note 12 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased to ¥128,828 million in fiscal 2025 compared to ¥131,388 million in fiscal 2024 primarily due to a decrease of the effective tax rate caused by the effect of lower tax rates on certain subsidiaries. For further information, see Note 16 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

Financial Statements.”
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Funding Activities
ORIX Group formulates funding policies that are designed to maintain and improve procurement stability and reduce liquidity risk. As a concrete measure to maintain and improve procurement stability while engaging in activities such as borrowing, capital market procurement and securitization of assets, we are diversifying our procurement methods and our country and investor base. To reduce liquidity risk, we are prolonging our borrowings from financial institutions and issuing long-term corporate bonds domestically and internationally with dispersed redemption periods. We are also holding cash and entering into committed credit facilities agreements. In order to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity at hand, we conduct stress tests from the perspective of both procurement stability and financial efficiency and review the necessary levels accordingly. Also, ORIX Group considers reducing procurement costs to be an important issue. For this reason, we place great importance on ratings by rating agencies and strive to maintain a certain level of rating. Furthermore, we believe that maintaining our ratings is effective not only in terms of minimizing procurement costs, but also facilitating capital market procurement when in unstable financial market conditions.
Uncertainties caused by geopolitical instability and the outlook for monetary policies of central banks of major countries still continue. Depending on future developments, we expect an increase in liquidity risk, including higher procurement costs. Specifically, we may be unable to borrow new funds or roll-over existing funds; we may be unable to issue bonds, medium-term notes and commercial paper in the capital markets; and
96
Table of Contents
we expect there will be an increase in the amount of interest we need to pay if we are able to access such funding. Notwithstanding the current environment, the ORIX Group is working to maintain stable procurement and reduce liquidity risk in accordance with the above policy. In addition, with respect to rising costs, we are working to maintain a high rating from rating agencies and to maintain good communication with the market so that we can raise funds at reasonable interest rates when refinancing our existing funding.
ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are regulated by Japanese financial authorities. They are our main regulated subsidiaries in terms of liquidity controls, although several other subsidiaries also operate under liquidity control related regulations.
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 domestic and overseas 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 levels of overseas subsidiaries by establishing local commitment lines and maintaining multi-currency commitment lines available to ORIX and certain of its overseas subsidiaries.
ORIX Bank obtains most of the funds it needs to operate its business through deposit taking. Although ORIX Bank provides loans to several companies 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 is restricted from making 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. However, 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.
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, 2026, the number of our lenders was about 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. As of March 31, 2025 and 2026, short-term debt from Japanese and foreign financial institutions were ¥461,466 million and ¥461,154 million, respectively, while long-term debt from financial institutions were ¥4,031,105 million and ¥4,118,393 million, respectively.
We intend to continue to strengthen our financial condition, while maintaining appropriately diverse funding.
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
97
Table of Contents
prevent an overlap of contract renewal periods. The total amount of our committed credit facilities as of March 31, 2025 and 2026 were ¥795,634 million and ¥1,034,156 million, respectively. Of these figures, the unused amounts as of March 31, 2025 and 2026 were ¥598,079 million and ¥753,645 million, respectively. A portion of these facilities is arranged to be drawn down in foreign currencies by ORIX and certain of our overseas subsidiaries. The decision to enter into a committed credit facility is made based on factors including our balance of cash and cash equivalents and repayment schedules of short-term debt such as commercial paper.
Debt from the Capital Markets
Our debt from capital markets, excluding equity issuances, consists primarily of bonds, medium-term notes, commercial paper, and securitization of loan receivables and other assets. During the current fiscal year, the Company issued ¥39,000 million of unsecured subordinated bonds with interest payment deferral and optional early redemption provisions (hybrid bonds). The proceeds were used to refinance (i) ¥29,000 million of hybrid bonds with the same features that were issued in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and redeemed early in March 2026, and (ii) ¥10,000 million of subordinated term loans raised in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and repaid early in April 2026.
Bonds and Medium-term notes
We plan to continue to issue bonds and medium-term notes in a balanced manner to institutional and individual investors both inside and outside Japan in line with our strategy of maintaining and improving procurement stability and reducing liquidity risk.
We issue straight bonds, medium-term notes and unsecured subordinated bonds with interest payment deferrable clauses and optional early redemption conditions (hybrid bonds) domestically and internationally, each to diversify our funding sources and maintain longer liability maturities.
The total balance of bonds and medium-term notes issued as of March 31, 2025 and 2026 was ¥1,638,436 million and ¥1,816,401 million, respectively, of which bonds and medium-term notes amounting to ¥87,879 million and ¥114,169 million, respectively, were issued by overseas subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2025 and 2026, the balance of bonds issued by ORIX for domestic institutional investors was ¥458,928 million and ¥439,003 million, respectively, while the balance of bonds issued by ORIX for individual investors were ¥114,665 million and ¥124,729 million, respectively. The balances of bonds and medium-term notes issued outside Japan were ¥891,591 million and ¥1,053,454 million as of March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
Commercial paper
We offer commercial paper as a direct financing source, and have successfully obtained a diverse range of investors such as financial institutions and investment trusts, as well as private corporations. We consider our liquidity levels and stagger the dates of issuance and maturity over time to avoid significant overlap. The balance of outstanding commercial paper as of March 31, 2025 and 2026 was ¥7,588 million and ¥3,986 million, respectively.
Securitization
We securitize loan receivables and other assets. We recognize liabilities consolidated with such investments as our liabilities when required under applicable accounting standards. The total amounts of payables under securitized loan receivables and other assets as of March 31, 2025 and 2026 were ¥63,577 million and ¥30,965 million, respectively.

For further information with respect to deposits, see Note 15 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.
In the securitization process, the assets for securitization are sold to special purpose entities (hereinafter, “SPEs”), which issue asset-backed securities to investors.
We expect to continue to utilize SPEs structures for securitization of assets. For further information on our transfer of financial assets, 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 SPEs. 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 SPEs, we do not guarantee or otherwise have any financial commitments or exposure with respect to the kumiai or its related SPEs and, accordingly, their assets are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet.
100
Table of Contents
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 SPEs structures are evaluated to determine whether we hold a variable interest that would result in our being defined as the primary beneficiary of the SPEs. 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.
For further information concerning our SPEs, see Note 11 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

Table of Contents
CASH FLOWS
Our cash flows primarily consist of:
• cash outflows and inflows which are generated primarily from principal payments received under net investment in lease, life insurance related income and costs, costs of inventories and sales of inventories, and services income and services expense classified as cash flows from operating activities;
• cash outflows and inflows which are generated primarily from purchases of lease equipment and proceeds from sales of lease equipment, purchases of securities and proceeds from sales of securities, and originations of installment loans and principal payments received under installment loans classified as cash flows from investing activities; and
• cash outflows and inflows which are generated primarily from proceeds from short-term and long-term debt, repayment of short-term and long-term debt, and deposits due to customers classified as cash flows from financing activities.
The use of cash is heavily dependent on the volume of operating assets for new business. As new business volumes for assets such as leases and loans increase, we require more cash to meet those needs, while a decrease in new business volumes results in less use of cash and an increase in debt repayment.
For cash flow information regarding interest and income tax payments, see Note 5 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”
Year Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2025
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 were ¥1,451,099 million due to an increase of ¥129,116 million compared to March 31, 2025.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥1,369,567 million during fiscal 2026, up from ¥1,300,193 million during fiscal 2025. This change resulted primarily from an increase in net income and an increase in policy liabilities and policy account balances, excluding the impact of changes in policy liability discount rate.
Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥1,114,671 million during fiscal 2026, down from ¥1,309,695 million during fiscal 2025. This change resulted primarily from an increase in principal collected on installment loans and a decrease in purchases of available-for-sale debt securities.
Cash flows used in financing activities were ¥160,535 million during fiscal 2026 compared to the inflow of ¥149,322 million during fiscal 2025. This change was primarily due to repayments of debt with maturities longer than three months exceeding the amounts of proceeds and a change from an increase to a decrease in call money, partially offset by a change from a decrease to an increase in debt with maturities of three months or less.
Year Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2024
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 were ¥1,321,983 million due to an increase of ¥136,676 million compared to March 31, 2024.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥1,300,193 million during fiscal 2025, up from ¥1,243,402 million during fiscal 2024. This change resulted primarily from an increase in policy liabilities and policy account balances and a decrease in an increase in inventories.
Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥1,309,695 million during fiscal 2025, down from ¥1,372,803 million during fiscal 2024. This change resulted primarily from an increase in proceeds from sales and redemption of available-for-sale debt securities, partially offset by an increase in purchases of lease equipment and available-for-sale debt securities.

A subsidiary in the United States is authorized to underwrite, originate, fund and service multi-family and senior housing loans without prior approval from Federal National Mortgage Association (hereinafter, “Fannie Mae”) under the Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (hereinafter, “Freddie Mac”) under the Delegated Underwriting Initiative program. As part of these programs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provide a commitment to purchase the loans.
Under these programs, the subsidiary guarantees the performance of the loans transferred to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 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 ¥609,536 million as of March 31, 2026.
The subsidiary makes certain representations and warranties in connection with the sale of loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including among others, that: the mortgage meets Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 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 and Freddie Mac for any related losses incurred. The subsidiary had no such repurchase claims during fiscal 2026.

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 our 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 credit losses on real estate collateral-dependent loans, measurement of impairment of investments in securities, measurement of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, 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 certain loans held for sale, trading debt securities, available-for-sale debt securities, certain equity securities, derivatives, certain reinsurance recoverables in other assets, variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts in policy liabilities and policy account balances, and certain accounts payable at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain subsidiaries measure certain loans held for sale, certain foreign government bond securities and foreign corporate debt securities included in available-for-sale debt securities, certain investment funds included in equity securities, certain reinsurance contracts, 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, 2026, the amount of financial assets classified as Level 3 was ¥551,431 million, among financial assets that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets represent 3% of our total assets.
Investment funds, Other asset-backed securities and debt securities, and Corporate debt securities classified as Level 3 were ¥230,596 million, ¥147,228 million and ¥118,191 million respectively, as of March 31, 2026, which are 42%, 27% and 21% of total Level 3 financial assets, respectively.
Investment funds classified as Level 3 are mainly investments held by the investment companies which are owned by an Americas subsidiary, and certain investments in investment funds for which certain subsidiaries elected the fair value option. With respect to investments held by the investment companies owned by that Americas subsidiary, fair value measurement is based on market multiple valuation methods, or broker quotes. Market multiple valuation methods use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiples based on actual and projected cash flows, comparable peer companies, and comparable precedent transactions and others. With respect to certain investments in investment funds for which certain subsidiaries elected the fair value option, the subsidiaries measure their fair value using discounting to net asset value based on inputs that are unobservable in the market, broker quotes, or discounted cash flow methodologies. Discounted cash flow methodologies use future cash flows to be generated from investees, weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and others.
With respect to the other asset-backed securities and debt 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 using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies using Level 3 inputs in order to estimate fair value of these debt 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 other asset-backed securities.
The corporate debt securities classified as Level 3 include a foreign convertible bond issued by AM Green (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l. It was received in conjunction with the partial sale of shares in Greenko Energy Holdings and is measured at fair value using discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the equity value as of the transaction date, then, using a pricing model based on the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the bond’s future conversion value and discounting it to the present value. The fair value measurement uses discount rates and projected cash flows based on the business plan including future sales prices and sales volumes of green ammonia for the discounted cash flow methodology, and uses discount rate and equity volatility for the pricing model based on the Monte Carlo simulation. Discount rates, equity volatility, and projected cash flows based on the business plan are unobservable inputs. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate and equity volatility and a decrease (increase) in projected cash flows based on the business plan would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of corporate debt securities.
In determining whether the inputs are observable or unobservable, 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.

ESTIMATING THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED IN A BUSINESS COMBINATION
The Company and its subsidiaries account for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under this method, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is obtained. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill if they meet either the contractual legal criterion or the separability criterion. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any noncontrolling interests over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. A bargain purchase gain is recognized when the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred and the fair value of any noncontrolling interests.
The determination of the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions. When observable market prices for intangible assets are not available, the Company and its subsidiaries use valuation techniques such as the excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method. These valuation techniques require assumptions relating to future revenue growth, operating margins, and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions or the use of different valuation techniques could have a material impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial position and results of operations.
Although management believes the assumptions and valuation methodologies used are reasonable, actual results may differ due to changes in economic conditions, which could require revisions to estimates and assumptions and materially affect the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial position and results of operations.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
We estimate credit losses expected to occur in future over the remaining life of financial assets, and allowance for credit losses is recognized. This evaluation process is subject to management’s estimates and judgments. The estimate made in determining the allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting estimate for all of our segments.
In developing the allowance for credit losses, we consider, among other things, the following factors:
• business characteristics and financial conditions of obligors;
• prior charge-off experience;
• current delinquencies and delinquency trends;
• value of underlying collateral and guarantees; and
• current economic and business conditions and expected outlook in the future.
There are two methods for estimating the allowance for credit losses; collective evaluation and individual evaluation. We also recognize allowances for off-balance sheet credit exposures.
Collective evaluation
When certain financial assets have similar risk characteristics to other financial assets, we collectively evaluate these financial assets as a pool. The forecasted future economic indicators correlated with the prior charge-off experience are reflected in the estimate of the allowance for credit losses. Economic indicators correlated with prior charge-off experience are determined over a reasonable and supportable forecasted period. Economic indicators include GDP growth rates, consumer price indices, unemployment rates, and government bond interest rates. We also consider forward-looking scenarios of how the selected economic indicators will change in the future. We use the latest economic forecasts available from economic reports published by governments and central banks, as well as from third-party information providers as economic indicators.
107
Table of Contents
Individual evaluation
When financial assets do not have similar risk characteristics to other financial assets, we evaluate individually the financial assets. In the individual assessment the allowance for credit losses is estimated individually based on the present value of expected future cash flows, and the observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the financial assets are collateral-dependent.
For non-recourse loans and purchased loans, in principle, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the fair value of the real estate collateral securing the loans as they are real estate collateral-dependent. Further for certain non-recourse loans and purchased 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.
We charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal considering debtor’s creditworthiness and the liquidation status of collateral.
Allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures
If the entity has a present contractual obligation to extend credit and the obligation is not unconditionally cancelable by the entity, credit losses related to the loan commitments of installment loans and financial guarantees are in the scope of the allowance for credit losses.
For loan commitments of installment loans, credit losses are recognized on the loan commitments for the portion expected to be drawn.
For financial guarantees, the allowance is recognized for the contingent obligation which generates credit risk exposures.
The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is measured using the same measurement methodologies as the allowance for loans and net investment leases, considering quantitative and qualitative factors including historical loss experience, current economic and business conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The allowance for these off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
While management considers the allowance to be adequate based on currently available information, additional provisions may be required due to future uncertain events and factors.
IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES
We make decisions about impairment of investment in debt securities other than trading and investment in equity securities elected for the measurement alternative as follows.
As for impairment of available-for-sale debt securities, if the fair value is less than the amortized cost, the debt securities are impaired. We identify per each impaired security whether the decline of fair value is due to
108
Table of Contents
credit losses component or non-credit losses component. Impairment related to credit losses is recognized in earnings through an allowance for credit losses. Impairment related to other factors than credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. In estimating an allowance for credit losses, we consider that credit losses exist when the present value of estimated cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis. When we intend to sell the debt securities for which an allowance for credit losses is previously established or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, the allowance for credit losses is fully written off and the amortized cost is reduced to the fair value after recognizing additional impairment in earnings. In addition, we recognize in earnings the full difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities by direct write-down, without any allowance for credit losses, if the debt securities are expected to be sold and the fair value is less than the amortized cost.
In assessing whether available-for-sale debt securities are impaired, we consider all available information relevant to the collectability of the debt security, including but not limited to the following factors:
• the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;
• continuing analysis of the underlying collateral, age of the collateral, business climate, economic conditions and geographical considerations;
• trends in delinquencies and charge-offs;
• payment structure and subordination levels of the debt security; and
• changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency.
For equity securities elected for the measurement alternative, we determine that the investment shall be written down to its fair value with losses included in income if a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value.
In assessing whether equity securities elected for the measurement alternative are impaired, we make a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators, including but not limited to the following factors:
• a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee;
• a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee;
• a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates;
• a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of that investment; and
• factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants.
Determinations of whether investments in securities are impaired often involve estimating the outcome of future events that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made. Management judges whether there are any facts that an impairment loss should be recognized, based primarily on objective factors.
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 OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We perform an impairment test for goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually. Additionally, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, we test for impairment whenever such events or changes occur.
We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. We perform the qualitative assessment for some goodwill but bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test for other goodwill. For the goodwill for which the qualitative assessment is performed, 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 quantitative goodwill impairment test. However, if we conclude otherwise or determine to bypass the qualitative assessment, we proceed to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test 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, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. We test the goodwill at the reporting unit which is either the same level as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.
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 before we perform a quantitative impairment test. We perform the qualitative assessment for some indefinite-lived intangible assets but bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets. For those indefinite-lived intangible assets for which the qualitative assessment is performed, if, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then we do not perform the quantitative impairment test. However, if we conclude otherwise or determine to bypass the qualitative assessment, we calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. We compare the fair value with the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. 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 and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference.
The fair value of a reporting unit under the quantitative goodwill impairment test 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 assets. 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 rates. For example, determining the fair value of an asset management contract included in intangible assets involves the estimated balances of assets under management, including the amounts of inflows and outflows related to the underlying investment funds that provide the asset management service, and estimates and assumptions regarding the WACC. Management believes that the assumptions used in estimating fair value used to determine impairment are reasonable, but we may charge additional losses to income 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.

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of goodwill and any intangible assets 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 depreciated or amortized, and real estate development projects, consisting primarily of office buildings, condominiums, aircraft, ships, mega solar facilities and other properties under facility operations. 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. For example, we estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated by aircraft mainly based on the underlying operating lease contracts and the appraisals obtained from independent third-party appraisers. 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.
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, and others based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Although management believes that the expected future cash flows and the calculations of fair value used to determine impairment are reasonable, 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 FINANCE LEASES AND OPERATING LEASES
We estimate unguaranteed residual values of leased equipment (such as automobiles, office equipment, etc.) when we calculate unearned lease income to be recognized as income over the lease term for finance 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 finance leases and operating leases affect mainly the Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing segment, and the Asia and Australia segment.
INSURANCE POLICY LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Certain subsidiaries write life insurance policies to customers. The policies are classified as long-duration contracts and mainly consist of whole life, term life, endowments, medical insurance and individual annuity insurance contracts. The calculation of liabilities for future policy benefits other than single-payment whole life insurance and individual annuities is computed using the same contract groupings (also referred to as cohorts) by policy year, currency, payment method (full term payment or limited payment) and product category and the liabilities for future policy benefits are computed using the net level premium method based on expected future policy benefit payments. A liability is recorded for the present value of expected future policy insurance benefits to be paid and certain related costs, less the present value of expected future net premium to be earned, at the time the premium revenue is recognized. For limited payment contracts, the excess of gross premiums received over net premium is recorded as a deferred profit liability.
The liabilities for future policy benefits are measured using assumptions such as mortality, morbidity, lapse, expense and discount rates. These assumptions are determined based on historical experience, industry data and other factors. Certain subsidiaries review and update future cash flow assumptions at least annually except for expense assumptions. Certain subsidiaries elected to lock in and not to update expense assumptions after expense assumptions are determined based on the most recent actual results at the time of contract issuance. The net premium ratios for calculating the liabilities for future policy benefits are also updated quarterly by cohort, reflecting actual cash flows. Certain subsidiaries remeasure the liabilities for future policy benefits using the updated net premium ratios as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the assumptions are updated and record the change from the remeasurement as gains or losses. For periods subsequent to the remeasurement, certain subsidiaries calculate the liabilities for future policy benefits using updated net premium ratios. If net premiums exceed gross premiums, the liabilities for future policy benefits are increased and the excess is recognized immediately in earnings.
Certain subsidiaries use a yield curve based on the yields on single-A rated fixed-income instruments as upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yields with durations similar to the liabilities for future policy benefits to determine discount rate assumptions. The yields on single-A rated fixed-income instruments are referenced in the index provided by a third-party pricing vendor. The discount rate assumptions are updated quarterly and are used for remeasurement of the liability at the reporting date. Changes in the liabilities for future policy benefits resulting from updates of discount rate assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income tax. For periods beyond the observable period of the referenced index, the discount rate yield curve beyond the observable period of the referenced index is interpolated to the ultimate forward rate using the Smith-Wilson method.
Certain subsidiaries 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, certain subsidiaries provide 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, certain subsidiaries adjust 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 their 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
112
Table of Contents
the reinsurance contracts. In addition, we economically hedge risks that are not covered by reinsurance. The reinsurance contracts do not relieve certain subsidiaries 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 certain subsidiaries.
Policy liabilities and policy account balances for single-payment whole life insurance and fixed annuity insurance contracts are measured based on the single-premiums plus interest based on expected rate, less withdrawals, expenses and other charges.
Certain costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts are deferred. Deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of agent commissions, except for policy maintenance costs, and underwriting expenses. For amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, insurance contracts are grouped by contract year, currency, payment method (full term payment or limited payment) and product category, using the same contract groupings for the calculation of the liabilities for future policy benefits. Insurance contracts for which the liabilities for future policy benefits are not calculated are grouped by policy year, currency, and product category. Deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized at constant-level basis for each cohort over the expected term of the policies.
For all cohorts, the number of policies in force for the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs is projected using mortality and lapse rates estimated based on historical experience, industry data and other factors, which are consistent with those assumptions used for calculating the liabilities for future policy benefits. When mortality and lapse rates are updated, the effects on the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs are derived by updating the projected number of policies in force and recognized prospectively over the expected term of the policies.
If certain reinsurance commissions (income) corresponding to costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts are incurred, they are similarly deferred and amortized in accordance with U.S. GAAP at a constant level over the expected insurance period, and deducted from the unamortized balance of deferred acquisition costs related to the contracts subject to the reinsurance contract.
The accounting estimates relating to insurance policy liabilities and deferred policy acquisition costs affect the Insurance segment.
Although management believes that these estimates relating to insurance policy liabilities and deferred policy acquisition costs are reasonable, they could be affected by future changes in uncertain economic conditions etc., which could require revisions to assumptions, which could have a material impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
ASSESSING HEDGE EFFECTIVENESS
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. 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, we use techniques including regression analysis and the cumulative dollar offset method.

The accounting estimates used to assess hedge effectiveness could affect mainly the Insurance segment and the Asia and Australia 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.
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 2026 would decrease or increase, respectively, by approximately ¥3,252 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 2026 would decrease by approximately ¥1,774 million. If we were to assume a 1% decrease in the discount rate, and keep other assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2026 would increase by approximately ¥1,153 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 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 tax loss carryforwards, before they expire. The valuation allowance is primarily recognized for deferred tax assets of consolidated subsidiaries with tax loss carryforwards. 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 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.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Group-Wide Risk Management System
Risk Management System
The allocation of management resources within ORIX Group is conducted taking into consideration group-wide risk preferences determined by management and the business strategies of individual business units. We have established our risk management system to appropriately recognize risks relating to Group businesses on a global scale, to realize allocations of management resources that are appropriate for the risks we face and report such risks to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, and other internal committees as the situation warrants. The Board of Directors and executive bodies comprehensively evaluate the performance of business units and the characteristics of the risks they face and implement necessary measures in response thereto. Through this process, we are able to control our balance sheet, allocate additional management resources to business units with strong potential for growth, and work together with internal control-related functions to analyze and manage risks. The internal audit department conducts internal audits focusing on important risks of the ORIX Group based on the annual internal audit plan.
The risk management system has been adopted by the board of directors as a part of our internal control system. The status of the operation of such internal control system is examined and reported to the board of directors annually. For descriptions of our Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Executive Committee and other internal committees, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Corporate Governance System.”
Management of Principal Risks
We recognize the following risks as principal risks: credit risk, business risk, market risk, liquidity risk (risk relating to funding), compliance risk, legal risk, information / cybersecurity risk and IT risk, operational risk and other risks, and external environment-related risk. Each of these risks is managed according to its characteristics.
Credit Risk Management
Our fundamental approach in analyzing credit risk is to evaluate factors such as the adequacy of collateral and guarantees, and the diversification of our customers’ industries and businesses. A comprehensive customer credit evaluation is typically conducted based on the customer’s financial position, cash flows, underlying security interests, profitability and other factors pertaining to individual credit transactions.
By conducting portfolio analysis and implementing measures to establish appropriate credit limits, we control our exposure in potentially higher risk markets.
We recognize that certain assets require extra monitoring of debtors, credit extended to debtors who have petitioned for bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation or other insolvency proceedings, debtors whose bank transactions have been suspended, bills have been dishonored, or debts that have not been collected for three months or more. The relevant business units, in cooperation with the credit department, take measures to secure collateral or other guarantees and to begin the collection process. All information and knowledge gathered from the collection process, starting from the initial demand to the foreclosure of the collateral, is consolidated by the credit department and reflected in our evaluation criteria used for individual credit transactions and portfolio analysis.
Business Risk Management
With regards to new businesses and investments, scenario analyses and stress tests are conducted at the initial stage of investment. Business plans and operations are continuously monitored thereafter and we periodically evaluate and verify the cost of withdrawal from a business, business area or investment.
120
Table of Contents
For our products and services offerings, in addition to continuous monitoring, we regularly review the contents of our products and services offerings in response to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs and strive to maintain or improve their quality.
A principal risk relating to operating leases is fluctuations in the residual value of leased properties. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our leased properties inventory, the relevant market environments and the overall business environment. We limit our operating leases to leased properties and other assets with high versatility, and evaluate the sale of such properties and other assets depending on changes in market conditions.
We aim to minimize the risk related to fluctuations in market prices for real estate by appropriately considering trends in market prices based on knowledge accumulated thus far, including our experiences during the financial crises.
Market Risk Management
We strive to comprehensively verify and understand the market risks that we face. We have established and maintain Group-wide ALM rules to address these risks.
Interest rate risk is comprehensively evaluated based on factors such as 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. The analysis methods we use are modified, as required, depending on the situation.
We monitor and manage exchange rate risk using indicators such as VaR (value at risk) for exchange rate volatility in our business transactions in foreign currencies and overseas investments. We appropriately manage exchange rate risk by using means such as 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 manage counterparty credit risk and other risks involved in hedging derivative transactions in accordance with internal rules on derivative transaction management.
For quantitative and qualitative analysis information on market risk, please see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
Liquidity Risk Management
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.
ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are regulated by Japanese financial authorities and 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 categorizes the degree of cash-flow tightness into several stages, and has established measures to strengthen its liquidity risk management system according to each stage. In addition, ORIX Bank has established limits on the required amount of liquid assets and the amount of market-based funding, and the department in charge of risk management monitors compliance with these limits.
121
Table of Contents
ORIX Life Insurance strives to maintain appropriate liquidity by setting standards for its holdings of cash and highly liquid governmental and corporate bonds by period and purpose. In addition to assessing current and future funding needs, ORIX Life Insurance established standards and contingency plans so that it can swiftly and appropriately respond to situations that take place within each stress.
Compliance Risk Management
ORIX Group views compliance as one of the top priorities of management. The ORIX Group strives to build a robust and comprehensive compliance program and promote a culture of compliance, with an emphasis on high standards of ethical behavior at all levels of the organization, and to conduct its business activities in a sincere, fair and transparent manner.
The compliance department requires companies in ORIX Group to formulate a compliance plan and monitors compliance risks within ORIX Group to avoid, mitigate or prevent the realization of such risks. By implementing programs that sustain a culture of compliance, the compliance department seeks to prevent or mitigate compliance risk, and thereby contribute to the sound business and management of 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 the ORIX Group Code of Conduct, which articulates our core standards and expectations for all executives and employees in the ORIX Group. Progress in sustaining a culture of compliance through internal training and other activities is regularly reported to our Audit Committee.
As part of our internal control system, we have established internal whistleblower systems for use by executives and employees in the ORIX Group and external whistleblower systems for use by business partners outside the ORIX Group, and developed internal and external systems designed to mitigate compliance risk. We have also established a system whereby material matters that are reported through the internal and external whistleblower systems and those that relate to legal or other violations are promptly reported to the representative executive officer and appropriate actions are taken in response to instructions received from the representative executive officer. The statuses of responses to material matters are reported to our Audit Committee and information is appropriately shared.
Furthermore, from the perspective of compliance with applicable tax laws, we are committed to paying taxes in conformance with tax laws of relevant jurisdictions, tax treaties and guidelines, and internal rules, to managing our tax affairs in good faith and in compliance with applicable tax systems and to achieving tax transparency on a group-wide basis.
Legal Risk Management
In addition to establishing internal rules necessary for ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, in order to comply appropriately with revisions in laws and regulations, we have also taken measures to understand the applicability of such laws and regulations to each business in ORIX Group and provide instructions to business units to which such laws and regulations apply.
To avoid, reduce and prevent transactional legal risk, we generally require that the legal department and the compliance department both be involved in evaluating and/or executing transactions.
For transactional agreements relating to business transactions, we have established a contract review and approval process involving the legal department in accordance with our prescribed internal rules.
To ensure that proper legal procedures are followed in connection with actual or potential disputes and litigation, we require that the legal department and the compliance department both be involved in the
122
Table of Contents
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. In addition, we have in place systems such as a system for monitoring for trademark applications that could infringe on trademarks held by ORIX Group.
The legal department manages intellectual property rights and takes necessary protective measures immediately if an actual or potential infringement of ORIX Group’s intellectual property rights is discovered.
Information / Cybersecurity Risk and IT Risk Management
ORIX Group’s technology management department provides rules and guidelines such as information system development and operational governance bylaws, engages in reviews of system investments (with system investments above a certain size being deliberated by the Information Technology Management Committee) and the governance of systems quality and development projects from the development stage to the system’s final launch to reduce the risk of system failures. In addition, there are ongoing efforts to strengthen the management of IT services to ensure stability in the system operations for systems that are currently in operation and the evaluation of the appropriateness of measures to prevent the recurrence of major failures in systems managed by Group companies. For more information regarding our Information Technology Management Committee, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Corporate Governance System—Executive Officers—Information Technology Management Committee.” For information / cybersecurity risk, see “Item 16K. Cybersecurity.”
Operational Risk and Other Risks Management
We have established internal regulations and are regularly conducting training to increase awareness of such regulations to clarify internal processes used in business operations. In addition, we are focusing on developing and evaluating our internal controls for compliance purposes.
In order to reliably secure and retain a diverse workforce, we continuously strive to promote diversity, equity and inclusion, ensuring that every employee can fully utilize their individual skills. We are also committed to creating a working environment where employees can stay healthy and feel motivated to work.
In addition to structuring our human resources systems to flexibly respond to factors such as national and regional labor markets, market practices, compensation standards, laws and regulations, job descriptions and business characteristics, we are continuously creating a work environment that respects human rights and making efforts to improve productivity and to achieve and promote employee well-being in response to a changing environment.
Additionally, we have established a system for teams to contact risk management departments promptly in cases where an operational risk incident, customer claim or similar matter has arisen so that we can respond quickly and carefully and take measures to prevent reoccurrences.
External Environment-related Risk Management
Among the external environment-related risks that we face such as those relating to the business environment, we are particularly focused on developing our systems to address and manage risks related to natural disasters and other unexpected risks. We have established internal rules to manage risks associated with disasters and implemented a framework for organizational implementation of basic principles to manage risks arising from events such as natural disasters, terrorism and infectious diseases, as well as related activities.
For example, we have established systems to confirm the safety and status of all employees in the event our offices are closed due to events such as a disaster or the spread of an infectious disease. To prepare for situations
123
Table of Contents
where it is impossible or inadvisable for employees to work from our offices, we have also introduced systems to allow employees to work remotely so that our business operations will not be disrupted.
ORIX Group is prepared for the occurrence of unexpected events, by diversifying its profit structure through a diversified business portfolio and ensuring sufficient liquidity, which allow it to maintain sound financial health.
Individual Business Risk Management
We engage in a broad spectrum of businesses, including financial service operations. We seek to perform complete and transparent monitoring and risk management according to the characteristics of each business segment.
Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing
Business risk, legal risk and credit risk are the main risks of the corporate financial services and maintenance leasing segment.
Our 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 provide services at a level that meets our clients’ expectations and to improve our services in line with the operating environment.
In the maintenance leasing business, to manage the risk of changes in the market value of property under operating leases, we continuously monitor market conditions and fluctuations in the value of leased property and reassess residual value estimates of leased property in new investment transactions accordingly.
Cost fluctuation is a risk that may occur when providing various services associated with operating leases. In response to this, we analyze initial cost planning and performance, monitor future forecasts and control costs at an appropriate level.
Due to the offering of various products and services, the enactment of or revisions to related laws, regulations, taxation systems, and accounting standards may adversely affect the products and services we offer and lead to a decline in income. In order to reduce such risk, business units conduct information gathering and coordinate with the legal department with regard to information on changes in relevant laws and regulation, as well as reassessing their business strategies as necessary.
With regard to credit transactions, the business department regularly monitors the performance, related collateral, and collection status of customers whose balances exceed specified levels. The credit department regularly evaluates customers with large credit balances.
We analyze current conditions and the outlook for specific business types and industries, examine the potential impact on customers, and consider the views of each business unit and specialized department to make 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.
Real Estate
Business risk and market risk are the main risks of the Real Estate segment.
124
Table of Contents
With respect to our real estate investments, 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.
Furthermore, when we invest in large scale or long-term projects, we consider diversifying risk by making joint investments with our partners.

As a key characteristic of this business, we ensure strict compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the Act on Development of Specified Integrated Resort Districts, and execute our operations appropriately. In order to maintain the integrity of management, it is essential to establish a sound and highly transparent corporate governance framework. Furthermore, we must address risks unique to the integrated resort business, including risks related to the renewal or revocation of certification of the District Development Plans, risks associated with obtaining and maintaining a casino business license, and risks inherent in large-scale development projects.

In addition, after the initial investment, individual transactions are monitored for divergence from the initial scenario.
We emphasize monitoring the progress of the business plan and financial condition of a company 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.

They are easily impacted by factors such as the external environment, and changes in social trends, systems and legal regulations, a surge in commodity prices, an increase in volatility for electricity prices, and disruption in supply chains can be ongoing threats. Due to these potential factors, while there are cases when it becomes necessary to change the revenue structure of individual businesses, we are able to quickly identify trend changes in the external environment and seek new revenue generation opportunities through business model shifts, new business developments, and business portfolio shuffles.
In each business, we operate a wide variety of facilities related to electricity generation, resource recycling and waste processing operations, and proactively seek out investment opportunities in various M&As and strategic alliances to further expand our businesses, but we also continue to strengthen internal governance by reassuring internal controls set in place.

Insurance
Business risk and market risk are the main risks in the Insurance segment.

Furthermore, we employ reinsurance as one means of ensuring payments of insurance claims and the stability of our business management. When utilizing reinsurance, we determine standards for reinsurance according to the characteristic of the transferred risk and effect of reinsurance. When choosing a reinsurance company, we focus on ensuring that there is a high probability we can recover the fees reinsurance claims by taking into account underwriting capacity and financial health.
With respect to market risk, to prepare for changes in the value of our assets and liabilities, we establish monitoring items and assess the risks for general account assets. Furthermore, from an asset liability management perspective we strive to limit interest rate risk through the purchase of super long-term bonds to match their duration with liabilities.
