Operating Revenue

163.1 billion yen (up 13.2% year on year)

Ordinary Profit

22 billion yen (down 9.7% year on year)

The operating profit decreased by 11.2% year on year to 2.1 billion yen, as the increase in operating revenue was offset by a rise in operating expenses, primarily due to credit cost. Furthermore, with the inclusion of 1billion yen in non-operating income, the ordinary profit decreased by 9.7% year on year to 2.2 billion yen.

Profit Attributable to Owners of Parent

21.8 billion yen (down 2.3% year on year)

Due to an increase in taxable income, income taxes-current of 5.0 billion yen was recorded, while income taxes-deferred of -5.0 billion yen and profit attributable to non-controlling interests of -300 million yen were recorded. As a result, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 2.3% year on year to 2.1 billion yen.

Mainly due to an increase in total receivable outstanding, total assets increased 18.3% year on year to 1,266.3 billion yen.

Net Assets

201.4 billion yen (up 12.1% year on year)

ROE
11.7% (down 1.8pt year on year)

ROA

1.9% (down 0.5pt year on year)

As of March 31, 2024, total assets increased 18.3% to 1,266.3 billion yen mainly due to a decrease in total receivable outstanding. Ordinary profit rose 9.7% year on year to 22.0 billion yen, resulting in a return on assets of 1.9%.
Under the medium-term management plan, ROA is expected to reach 2.5% in FY ending March 2027, as profit margins improve due to growth in core businesses and an increase in group assets through M&A, and efficiency and cost structure reforms through the utilization of IT.

ROE and Real ROE

11.7% (down 1.8pt year on year)

Profit attributable to owners of parent and net assets were 21.8 billion yen and 201.4 billion yen, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. As a result, return on equity (ROE) was 11.7%. The real ROE* was 8.8%.
Under the medium-term management plan, we expect to achieve ROE of 12.6% and real ROE of 11.4% in FY ending March 2027, as profit margins improve due to growth in core businesses and an increase in group assets through M&A, and efficiency and cost structure reforms through the utilization of IT.
*Due to recording tax losses in the past, the tax amount and tax adjustments have not been stable. Therefore, we are demonstrating Real ROE using the effective tax rate of 30% borne by typical corporations.
