Consolidated Financial Results

April 1, 2020 –March 31, 2021

 

May 13, 2021

In preparing its consolidated financial information, ORIX Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have complied with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

These documents may contain forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial results that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company believes that it may have been a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the year to which these consolidated financial results relate by reason of the composition of its assets and the nature of its income. In addition, the Company may be a PFIC for the foreseeable future. Assuming that the Company is a PFIC, a U.S. holder of the shares or ADSs of the Company will be subject to special rules generally intended to eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a holder could derive from investing in a foreign corporation that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. Investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to such rules, which are summarized in the Company’s annual report.

Overview of Business Performance (April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021)

Total revenues for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (hereinafter, “the fiscal year”) increased 1% to ¥2,292,708 million compared to the previous fiscal year due to increases in life insurance premiums and related investment income, and gains on investment securities and dividends despite decreases in services income, and operating leases revenues.

Total expenses increased 1% to ¥2,033,894 million compared to the previous fiscal year due to an increase in life insurance costs despite decreases in interest expense, and services expense.

On the other hand, equity in net income of affiliates for the fiscal year decreased 99% to ¥481 million compared to the previous fiscal year and gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net for the fiscal year decreased 69% to ¥23,300 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Due to the above results and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (hereinafter, “COVID-19”), income before income taxes for the fiscal year decreased 30% to ¥287,561 million compared to the previous fiscal year and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders decreased 36% to ¥192,384 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Segment Information

Total segment profits for the fiscal year decreased 28% to ¥318,891 million compared to the previous fiscal year. Segment profits increased in each of Environment and Energy, Insurance and Banking and Credit while segment profits in each of Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, PE Investment and Concession, Aircraft and Ships, ORIX USA, ORIX Europe and Asia and Australia decreased.

Since April 1, 2020, the operating segments regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocations and assess performance have been changed, resulting in a reorganization of our reportable segments. As a result of this change, segment data for the previous fiscal year has been retrospectively restated.

Since April 1, 2020, the selling, general and administrative expenses that should be borne by the ORIX Group, which were initially charged to its respective segments, have been included in the difference between segment total profits and consolidated amounts for the fiscal year. As a result of this change, segment data for the previous fiscal year has been retrospectively restated.

Since April 1, 2020, Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”—ASC 326 (“Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”)) (hereinafter, “Credit Losses Standard”) has been adopted. For further information, see “3. Financial Information (9) Changes in Significant Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements—Significant Accounting Policies—(Adoption of New Accounting Standards).”

Segment information for the fiscal year is as follows:

Segment revenues totaled ¥429,799 million, remaining substantially unchanged from the previous fiscal year. This was due to an increase in operating leases revenues from the rental of IT-related equipment, mostly offset by lower finance revenues resulting from decreases in financial assets and lower sales of goods.

Segment profits decreased 6% to ¥59,149 million due to increases in costs of operating leases and services expense, and the absence of bargain purchase gains recorded in relation to companies acquired in our corporate financial services business during the previous fiscal year.

Segment assets decreased 7% to ¥1,658,571 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This decrease was due to decreases in net investment in leases, installment loans, and investment in operating leases.

Our operating facilities have experienced temporary closure and low occupancy rates during the fiscal year due to the impact of COVID-19. Consequently, services income from our facility operations business decreased. Also, DAIKYO INCORPORATED and its subsidiaries experienced a decrease in services income from real estate contract work due to the dissipation of increased last-minute demand before the consumption tax hike in Japan during the previous fiscal year, as well as a decrease in sales of real estate. In addition, there was a decrease in gains on sales of real estate under operating leases. As a result, segment revenues decreased 23% to ¥359,798 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons as well as the absence of gains on the sale of a subsidiary which operates senior housings, which had been recorded during the previous fiscal year, segment profits decreased 69% to ¥24,684 million compared to the previous fiscal year despite a decrease in services expense from our facility operations business.

Investment in operating leases decreased due to the sales of real estate under operating leases. However, this decrease was offset by increases in inventories and advances for finance lease and operating lease. As a result, segment assets increased 6% to ¥872,095 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Segment revenues increased 12% to ¥331,222 million compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to an increase in sales of goods by our investees, despite a decrease in services income resulting from the sale of a subsidiary during the previous fiscal year.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the number of passengers and flights at our three airports in Kansai decreased substantially, resulting in a decrease in equity in net income of affiliates in our concession business. Also, due to the absence of gains on the sale of a subsidiary in our private equity business, which had been recorded during the previous fiscal year, segment profits decreased 92% to ¥3,431 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Segment assets increased 17% to ¥378,698 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to increases in goodwill and investment in operating leases associated with the acquisition of subsidiaries during the fiscal year.

This increase was due to an increase in life insurance premiums in line with an increase in new insurance contracts, as well as an increase in life insurance related investment income from variable life insurance contracts.

Due to the above-mentioned reasons as well as the recording of reversals of policy liability reserves due to the reduction of minimal guarantee risk related to variable life insurance contracts, etc., segment profits increased 23% to ¥55,119 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Segment assets increased 24% to ¥1,959,521 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in investment in securities.

Segment revenues decreased 1% to ¥83,724 million compared to the previous fiscal year. This decrease was due to a decrease in finance revenues due to a decrease in installment loans in ORIX Credit notwithstanding increases in services income generated from the mortgage bank business of ORIX Credit and finance revenues derived from real estate investment loans in our banking business.

Segment profits increased 23% to ¥48,030 million compared to the previous fiscal year resulting from a decrease in provision for credit losses during the fiscal year, which was due to the impacts of a decrease in new loan executions as well as low default rates in ORIX Credit.

Segment assets increased 3% to ¥2,690,627 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in the balance of real estate investment loans in our banking business.

Segment revenues decreased 51% to ¥31,617 million compared to the previous fiscal year. This was due to a decrease in operating leases revenues resulting from decreases in both the number of aircraft owned and the number of aircraft sold, a decrease in fee income resulting from the decrease in the number of aircraft sold to investors in our aircraft leasing business, and the absence of sales of ships, which had been recorded during the previous fiscal year.

Due to the above-mentioned decrease in revenues and a decrease in equity in net income of affiliates from Avolon Holdings Limited, segment profits decreased 92% to ¥3,755 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Segment assets increased 3% to ¥601,762 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to increases in installment loans and investment in operating leases in our ship-related business.

Segment revenues increased 2% to ¥138,017 million compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to an increase in finance revenues from an increase in the number of new executions in our real estate loan origination and servicing business and an increase in gains on investment securities and dividends in our investing business in the Americas, despite a decrease in services income resulting from a sale of an asset management-related business.

Due to the absence of gains on sales of equity interests of Houlihan Lokey, Inc., etc., which had been recorded during the previous fiscal year, segment profits decreased 23% to ¥43,614 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Segment assets decreased 11% to ¥1,220,081 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in installment loans.

Despite the recognition of gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates in Asia, due to the above-mentioned revenues decline and, a decrease in equity in net income of affiliates due to the recording of an impairment loss on an investment in affiliates, segment profits remained substantially unchanged compared to the previous fiscal year at ¥14,660 million.

Segment assets increased 7% to ¥1,084,222 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to increases in installment loans and investment in operating leases.

Note 1:  

Shareholders’ Equity refers to ORIX Corporation Shareholders’ Equity based on U.S. GAAP.

         2:  

Shareholders’ Equity Per Share is calculated using total ORIX Corporation Shareholders’ Equity.

Total assets increased 4% to ¥13,563,082 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in investment in securities despite decreases in net investment in leases, installment loans and property under facility operations, and furthermore, an increase in allowance for credit losses compared to allowance for doubtful receivables on finance leases and probable loan losses as of the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of the adoption the Credit Losses Standard. In addition, segment assets increased 4% to ¥11,341,789 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Total liabilities increased 5% to ¥10,459,938 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to increases in deposits, long-term debt, and policy liabilities and policy account balances despite decreases in short-term debt and trade notes, accounts and other payable.

Shareholders’ equity increased 1% to ¥3,028,456 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by ¥55,709 million to ¥1,079,575 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥1,095,676 million during the fiscal year, up from ¥1,042,466 million during the previous fiscal year. This change resulted primarily from an increase in life insurance premiums due to an increase in in-force life insurance contracts, partially offset by a decrease in services income.

Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥1,203,252 million during the fiscal year, down from ¥1,470,486 million during the previous fiscal year. This change resulted primarily from a decrease in installment loans made to customers, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from sales of operating lease assets.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were ¥39,884 million during the fiscal year, down from ¥288,703 million during the previous fiscal year. This change resulted primarily from a decrease in deposits due to customers, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from debt with maturities longer than three months.

(3) Profit Distribution Policy and Dividends for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021 and the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022

We aim to increase shareholder value by utilizing profits earned from business activities that were secured primarily as retained earnings, to strengthen our business foundation and make investments for future growth. At the same time, we strive to make stable and sustainable distribution of dividends at a level in line with our business performance. In addition, with regards to the decision of whether to buy back our shares, we aim to act with swiftness while considering various factors such as the adequate level of our retained earnings, the soundness of our financial condition and external factors such as changes in the business environment, share price and our trend and target performance indicators.

Based on this fundamental policy, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 has been decided at 78.00 yen per share (interim dividend paid was 35.00 yen per share and year-end dividend has been decided at 43.00 yen per share). The payout ratio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 was 50.1%, up 18.1% from the previous fiscal year. The annual dividend for the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 is forecasted at 78.00 yen per share (forecasted interim dividend of 39.00 yen and year-end dividend of 39.00 yen) as well as 78.00 yen per share in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

(4) Risk Factors

With the announcement of our results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, we believe no additional items have arisen concerning “Risk Factors” as stated in our latest Form 20-F submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2020.

2. Consideration in the Selection of Accounting Standard

We have been preparing our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that U.S. GAAP is the accounting standard that most appropriately reflects our business activities in our financial reporting.

Reporting in U.S. GAAP enables us to maintain consistency and comparability with past financial results and we believe that is beneficial to our stakeholders.

(9) Changes in Significant Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Significant Accounting Policies

(Adoption of New Accounting Standards)

In June 2016, the Credit Losses Standard was issued, and related amendments were issued thereafter. These updates significantly change how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The new current expected credit loss model requires companies to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets that are within the scope of these updates. These updates also make targeted amendments to the current impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted these updates on April 1, 2020 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period. The allowance for credit losses for financial assets such as installment loans, net investment in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures such as financial guarantees and loan commitments was increased due to the changes of the measurement of the allowance for credit losses. The effect of the adoption of these updates on the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial position at the adoption date was an increase of ¥ 31,745 million in the allowance for credit losses for financial assets, an increase of ¥ 28,294 million in other liabilities related to off-balance sheet credit exposures and a decrease of ¥ 42,855 million in retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheets as of April 1, 2020.

In January 2017, Accounting Standards Update 2017-04 (“Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”—ASC 350 (“Intangible—Goodwill and Other”)) was issued. This Update eliminates Step 2 from the conventional two-step goodwill impairment test. Instead, goodwill impairments would be measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This Update also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this update had no material impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operation or financial position.

Basic Profit Distribution Policy

ORIX aims to increase shareholder value by utilizing profits earned from business activities that were secured primarily as retained earnings, to strengthen its business foundation and make investments for future growth. At the same time, ORIX strives to make stable and sustainable distribution of dividends at the level in line with its business performance. In addition, with regards to the decision of whether to buy back shares, ORIX aims to act with flexibility and swiftness while considering various factors such as the adequate level of retained earnings, the soundness of its financial condition and external factors such as changes in the business environment, share price and its trend and target performance indicators.

Based on this fundamental policy, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 has been decided at 78.00 yen per share (interim dividend paid was 35.00 yen per share and year-end dividend has been decided at 43.00 yen per share) .
