Executive Summary

Financial Results for First Half of FY2025 and Full-Year Earnings Projection

Solid progress of 54.5% against the FY2025 full-year earnings projection (consolidated net income ¥80.0 billion)

  • Consolidated core business profit reached ¥66.6 billion (+¥7.9 billion year-on-year), driven by an increase in domestic net interest income (due to an improvement in yields on loans and

    deposits and an increase in income from market operations) and the recording of revenue from external system sales related to Minna Bank.

  • Regarding gains (losses) on securities, while gains on the sale of stocks were recorded, losses on the sale of bonds were also recorded due to the rebalancing of certain domestic bonds in anticipation of future interest rate rises.

    Although core businesses remain solid, the projection for consolidated net income remains unchanged, as the initial plan for credit cost is maintained to prepare for future risks.

    Initiatives to Improve FFG's Corporate Value

Aim to achieve ROE exceeding the initial plan by growing the commercial, investment, and market business divisions and capturing the benefits of interest rate increases

  • [Initial plan (assumed policy interest rate: 0.5%)] FY2025: 8.3%, FY2027: 9%, Target level for the future: 10%

    Enhancing dialogue with stakeholders for the sustainable growth of FFG

  • Strengthening information disclosure and dialogue to foster a deeper understanding of FFG's long-term strategy among investors and other stakeholders

    - Remained flat as the increase in income from current account deposits at the BOJ and loans to Government was offset by higher market procurement costs and interest rate swap payments

    • Yield on loans increased as a result of capturing rising domestic interest rates

    • The rise in yield on deposits was contained as focus was on acquiring deposits without engaging in interest rate competition

    • Secured investment capacity by restraining investment in domestic bonds (fixed-rate) in anticipation of future interest rate rises (duration shortened to 1.7 years)

    • Offset the absence of the previous year's gains from fund exits with increased dividends from stocks and investment trusts in market operations

    adequate investment capacity for future domestic bonds.

  • Prior to interest rate rises, supplemented net interest income by utilizing interest rate swaps (e.g., swapping borrowings from BOJ operations to floating rates)

  • Since interest rate rises, restraining new interest rate swap positions as loan-deposit spreads are expected to improve
