Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

In the life insurance business, foreign exchange gains and reinsurance income increased, while earnings also improved as a result of partial outward reinsurance of existing policies and market fluctuations, including foreign exchange gains and losses. In the non-life insurance business, net premiums written increased and the loss ratio declined owing to fewer natural disasters and other factors. In the banking business, investment income increased, but fee income related to housing loans declined and operating expenses increased.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Ordinary revenue increased in the life insurance, non-life insurance and banking businesses. Ordinary profit increased in the life insurance business, owing to improved earnings resulting from partial outward reinsurance of existing policies and market fluctuations, including foreign exchange gains and losses, and in the non-life insurance business, owing to a lower loss ratio resulting from fewer natural disasters and other factors, although profit declined in the banking business. Profit in the banking business declined because fee income related to housing loans decreased and operating expenses increased.
