Copyright© JAPAN POST BANK All Rights Reserved. 2 05 Appendix P.54 President’s Message—Japan Post Bank Has Entered a New Stage The five-year period of the previous Medium-term Management Plan (FY2021 through FY2025) has ended. Over this five-year period, our business environment has changed dramatically. In particular, there have been changes in population trends and social structure, as well as the remarkable progress in the digitalization of society, such as the shift to cashless payment and the emergence of generative AI. In the financial and economic environment, we are facing a major paradigm shift, as the United States and others have turned from raising interest rates to control inflation to lowering them, while in Japan the era of positive interest rates has arrived, and interest rates are rising. Under this environment, we boosted the capabilities of all employees to achieve our highest earnings since listing for three consecutive fiscal years , and we believe that we have made substantial progress on increasing our corporate value, including our market cap breaking above ¥10 trillion at one point during FY2025. Additional successes included the Yucho Bankbook App growing to become one of the largest among Japanese banks (16.62 million accounts at the end of FY2025), and the restructuring of the yen interest rate portfolio. In addition, we made significant progress on the privatization process with two global offerings, building momentum for further growth in our business going forward. In this way, we have now entered a new stage of working toward non-linear growth . Meanwhile, the Bank’s operating environment continues to change, and we must also continue to evolve . As we look to continue providing all of our customers with distinctive Japan Post Bank value going forward, we have had countless internal discussions about who we want to be. We have formulated the following two medium- to long-term vision statements , which describe who we want to be in 15 years’ time (2040). “Japan’s leading comprehensive financial platform,” meeting customers’ diverse needs and accompanying them through life “A leading global market player” aiming to increase the value of customers’ assets and realize a sustainable society through investment in Japan and overseas The new Medium-term Management Plan (FY2026–FY2028) is positioned as the first step toward realizing this Medium- to Long-term Vision. Through the promotion of our business strategy, we aim to achieve non-linear growth that breaks from our previous trend, with net income of ¥1 trillion or higher and ROE of around 10% in the final fiscal year. We will remain committed to our purpose, “We aim for the happiness of our customers and employees, and to contribute to the development of societies and local communities,” as we strive to meet the expectations of all stakeholders, including shareholders and customers, by balancing the resolution of social issues through our business with the pursuit of economic value, and by pursuing the sustainable enhancement of corporate value. We invite you to look forward to the next stage that we endeavor to create.
