Consolidated Financial Results

April 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023

 

May 10, 2023

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.

This document may contain forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial results that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on the Company’s 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 most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. 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 American depositary shares 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.

Segment Information

Total segment profits for the fiscal year decreased 28% to ¥381,255 million compared to the previous fiscal year.

Note 1:

  

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

Note 2:

  

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

Total assets increased 7% to ¥15,266,191 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, investment in securities and other assets. In addition, segment assets increased 5% to ¥12,595,338 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Total liabilities increased 9% to ¥11,837,946 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to increases in long-term debt and policy liabilities and policy account balances despite decreases in deposits and current and deferred income taxes.

Shareholders’ equity increased 3% to ¥3,356,585 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by ¥275,096 million to ¥1,366,908 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥913,088 million during the fiscal year, down from ¥1,103,370 million during the previous fiscal year. This change resulted primarily due to a decrease in an increase in policy liabilities and policy account balances., and an increase in payment of income taxes resulting from the sale of the business of Yayoi Co., Ltd. in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥1,098,478 million during the fiscal year, up from ¥808,846 million during the previous fiscal year. This change resulted primarily from an increase in purchases of lease equipment and acquisitions of subsidiaries, and a decrease in sales of subsidiaries, partially offset by an increase in principal collected on installment loans and proceeds from sales of operating lease assets.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were ¥438,308 million during the fiscal year compared to the outflow of ¥306,618 million during the previous fiscal year. This change resulted primarily from 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, 2023 and the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2024

We aim to increase shareholder value by utilizing profits earned from business activities, 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 flexibility and swiftness while considering various factors such as the business environment, share price and its trend, the soundness of our financial condition, and target performance indicators.

Based on this fundamental policy, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 has been decided at 85.60 yen per share (the interim dividend paid was 42.80 yen per share and the year-end dividend has been decided at 42.80 yen per share). The payout ratio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 was 37.0%. For the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the annual dividend is forecasted at the higher of either payout ratio of 33.0% or 85.60 yen per share.

(4) Risk Factors

With the announcement of our results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we believe no significant changes 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, 2022.

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.
