Results of Operations and Financial Conditions

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, revenues increased ¥44,900 million, or 4.7%, to ¥1,003,400 million, and gross profit increased ¥22,200 million, or 13.2%, to ¥190,500 million, respectively, from the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in income in the International Business segment and the Automobility segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased ¥9,500 million, or 9.6%, to ¥108,700 million from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to increases in personnel and non-personnel expenses in the International Business segment and the Automobility segment.

Non-operating income and expenses decreased ¥4,100 million, or 30.7%, to an income of ¥9,400 million from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly caused by a decrease in equity in earnings of affiliates.

Due to the factors mentioned above, ordinary income increased ¥8,600 million, or 10.4%, to ¥91,200 million from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Extraordinary income was ¥1,700 million, income taxes increased ¥16,500 million, or 164.2%, to ¥26,600 million, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased ¥1,500 million, or 19.0%, to ¥9,300 million, respectively, from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

As a result, net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥57,100 million (net loss of ¥10,200 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Total assets at the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 increased ¥274,100 million, or 4.5%, to ¥6,356,200 million, and segment assets increased ¥328,700 million, or 6.1%, to ¥5,692,500 million from the end of the previous fiscal year mainly caused by foreign exchange fluctuations. Total liabilities increased ¥125,000 million, or 2.4%, to ¥5,318,100 million, and interest-bearing debts increased ¥154,600 million, or 3.4%, to ¥4,669,300 million, respectively, from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Total net assets increased ¥149,100 million, or 16.8%, to ¥1,038,100 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly caused by a ¥35,600 million increase in retained earnings and a ¥101,000 million increase in translation adjustments.

As a result, the shareholders’ equity ratio increased by 1.9 percentage points compared with the end of the previous fiscal year to 14.4%.

Overview of Business Results by Segment

With the organizational change on April 1, 2023, the Group separated and newly established the Environmental Infrastructure segment from the Specialty Financing segment with the aim of strengthening and expanding environmental energy businesses, such as renewable energy in Japan and overseas, to strongly support business strategy toward decarbonization, and changed its operating segments and other matters. With regard to the Mobility & Fleet Management segment, we renamed it to the Automobility segment. In addition, in the Medium-Term Management Plan 2027 adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors meeting held on May 12, 2023, we decided to align financial targets with net income-based figures.

In line with these changes, effective from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the Group changed the reportable segments to the five segments, Equipment Leasing, Automobility, Specialty Financing, International Business, and Environmental Infrastructure. In addition, segment income was changed from ordinary income to net income attributable to owners of parent.

Revenues for each segment represent “revenues from customers,” and segment income or loss represents the amount for the “reportable segment.”

The year-on-year comparisons are made with the figures of the previous fiscal year based on the changed classification.

The balance of segment assets decreased ¥76,500 million, or 5.9%, to ¥1,210,600 million from the end of the previous fiscal year.
