Financial Results for FY 2010
1. Revenue and Expenses
- In the first quarter of FY2010, the Bank recorded consolidated net revenue of 20.4 billion yen, representing steady progress of 26.8% towards the full-year forecast of 76.0 billion yen. Although this result was down 1.2 billion yen (-5.4%) year on year, the previous year’s results included special factors, such as gains from the sale of legacy CDO assets (1.5 billion yen).
- Despite a decrease in average interest earning assets, net interest income increased by 0.2 billion yen (+1.5%) to 12.1 billion yen, largely due to an expansion of the net interest margin. Net trading revenue increased by 2.7 billion yen (+638.5%) to 3.1 billion yen, due to an increase in gains from derivative transactions, underpinned by favorable sales of derivative-embedded time deposits to retail customers. Net fees and commissions decreased 2.7 billion yen (-56.7%) to 2.1 billion yen, due to the absence of large transactions that benefited the first quarter of FY2009. Net other ordinary income decreased by 1.4 billion yen (-31.2%) to 3.0 billion yen as the previous year’s results included special factors, such as the aforementioned gains from CDOs, and hedge funds.
- General and administrative expenses were 10.1 billion yen, a decrease of 1.0 billion yen (-9.4%) year on year, as a result of continued strict controls on costs. Business profit was 10.3 billion yen.
- Credit-related expenses were 2.4 billion yen, a year on year increase of 0.7 billion yen, reflecting the Bank’s actions to strengthen preventative measures. Tax expense, including deferred income tax credits, decreased 2.5 billion yen to a net benefit of 0.5 billion yen. As a result of the above factors, consolidated net income increased 1.9 billion yen (+34.7%) to 7.3 billion yen, representing a year on year improvement for the second consecutive year.
2. Balance Sheet
- Total assets were 4,966.5 billion yen as of June 30, 2010, a decrease of 3.7%, or 190.8 billion yen compared to March 31, 2010.
