1. Matters related to summary information (Notes)

(1) Changes in accounting policies due to application of new or revised accounting standards

Accounting Standard etc. for Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies “Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Statement No.30, July 4, 2019) and “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Guidance No.31, July 4, 2019) from the beginning of the period for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

Due to the application, the measurement of the fair value of stocks with market price (including foreign stocks, hereinafter the same) in other securities is changed from the fair value method based on their average prices during the final month of fiscal year to the fair value method based on their fiscal year-end market prices. Derivative transactions are carried at fair value reflecting one’s own credit risks and counterparty’s credit risks etc.

As for stocks with market price, in accordance with transitional treatment stipulated in Item 19 of “Accounting standards for fair value measurement” and Item 44-2 of “Accounting standard for financial instrument,” (ASBJ Statement No.10, July 4, 2019) the Company has applied new accounting policies since the beginning of the period for the six months ended September 30, 2020. As for fair value of derivative transactions, in accordance with transitional treatment stipulated in Item 20 of Accounting standards for fair value measurement, the cumulative effects are adjusted to “Retained earnings” of the beginning of the period for the six months ended September 30, 2020, in the case that the new accounting policy is retroactively applied previous to the beginning of the period for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

As a result, “Trading assets” decreased by ¥66,010 million, “Other assets” decreased by ¥29,768 million, “Deferred tax assets” increased by ¥2,306 million, “Trading liabilities” decreased by ¥21,557 million, “Other liabilities” decreased by ¥14,495 million, “Deferred tax liabilities” decreased by ¥15,570 million, and “Retained earnings” decreased by ¥41,849 million at the beginning of the period for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

(2) Changes in accounting policies due to reasons other than above (1)

Changes in Recognition of installment-sales-related income and installment-sales-related expenses

As for recognition of installment-sales-related income and installment-sales-related expenses, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Company, Limited (Hereinafter, “SMFL”), which conducts leasing business, had been applying a method for which installment-sales-related income and installment-sales-related expenses are recognized on a due-date basis over the full period of the installment sales in accordance with “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standards for Leasing Transactions” (ASBJ Guidance No.16, March 25, 2011). However, from the beginning of the period for the six months ended September 30, 2020, the net amount, which is calculated by deducting installment-sales-related expenses from installment-sales-related income, is recorded as “Interest on deferred payment.”

The change is made to properly reflect the fund transaction under the financial type installment-sales transactions on the consolidated financial statements due to SMFL became an equity method affiliate and other reasons.

These changes in accounting policies are applied retroactively, and therefore the interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 reflect the retroactive application. As a result, comparing before and after the retroactive application, “Ordinary income”, “Ordinary expenses”, and “Other operating expenses” decreased by ¥359,162 million respectively, “Interest income” increased by ¥16,995 million, and “Other operating income” decreased by ¥376,157 million, and there are no effects on “Ordinary profit”, “Income before income taxes”, “Profit” and “Profit attributable to owners of parent” for the six months ended September 30, 2019. There is also no cumulative effect on “Net assets” at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
