1. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

(Please refer to Summary of Financial Results for Fiscal 2009 for more information.)

(1) Analysis of Results of Operations

Looking back over the economic climate during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the actions taken to stabilize the financial system and stimulate the economy by major countries in cooperation with each other in response to the financial crisis have been effective, and the global economy has emerged from its worst and is picking up moderately.

The United States and the euro area showed a return to positive real GDP growth in the third quarter of calendar year 2009 attributable mainly to the effects of economic stimulus policies. Also, in Asia, growth was maintained as strengthening of domestic demand in China induced exports from and production in neighboring countries.

As for the Japanese economy, it has entered a mild deflationary state with a severe employment and income environment continuing, and prospects of a self-sustaining recovery in domestic private-sector demand remain weak. However, exports have been increasing and personal consumption has been picking up, especially of durable goods, reflecting improvements in the foreign economic environment and the effectiveness of economic stimulus policies, and with positive real GDP growth maintained, the economy is picking up steadily.

Nevertheless, in a situation where causes of concern exist, such as the effects of the cessation of economic stimulus packages, worsening employment and the aggravation of the financial condition of certain nations in Europe and other areas, it remains uncertain whether the global economy is capable of maintaining its recovery going forward.

Given the above business environment, it is important for the group companies of Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (the “Group”) to strengthen their profitability further by allocating management resources flexibly and by providing high-quality financial services to meet customers’ needs, while maintaining financial soundness and enhancing corporate governance such as risk management.

Reflecting the above economic environment, Net Income amounted to ¥239.4 billion.

Taking segment information by type of business for MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries categorized under banking business (banking and trust banking business), securities business and other, Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was ¥272.5 billion for banking business, ¥ 57.8 billion for securities business and ¥3.8 billion for other. Looking at segment information by geographic area categorized under Japan, the Americas, Europe and Asia/Oceania, Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was ¥304.2 billion for Japan, ¥81.9 billion for the Americas, ¥(21.5) billion for Europe and ¥43.0 billion for Asia/Oceania.

As for earnings estimates for fiscal 2010, we estimate Ordinary Profits of ¥570.0 billion and Net Income of ¥430.0 billion on a consolidated basis.

The above estimates are based on information that is available at this moment and assumptions of factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates, depending on future events. Please refer to “forward-looking statements” on page 1-2.

(2) Analysis of Financial Conditions

Consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2010 amounted to ¥156,253.5 billion, increasing by ¥3,530.5 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to increases in Securities.

Securities were ¥43,096.4 billion, increasing by ¥ 12,922.8 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. The balance of Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥62,164.5 billion, decreasing by ¥8,355.6 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Deposits amounted to ¥76,339.7 billion, decreasing by ¥839.7 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Net Assets amounted to ¥5,837.0 billion, increasing by ¥1,650.4 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. Shareholders’ Equity was ¥3,207.2 billion, Total Valuation and Translation Adjustments was ¥305.8 billion and Minority Interests was ¥2,321.7 billion.

Net Cash Provided in Operating Activities was ¥13,432.7 billion mainly due to decreased Loans and Bills Discounted. Net Cash Provided (Used in) by Investing Activities was ¥(14,153.5) billion mainly due to acquisition of securities, and Net Cash Provided in Financing Activities was ¥231.8 billion. As a result, Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2010 was ¥4,678.7 billion.

The Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (Basel II BIS Standard) was 13.46% (preliminary).

(3) Basic Policy on Profit Distribution, Proposed Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2009 and Forecast Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2010

We have pursued “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders” as our “disciplined capital management,” and have been putting more priority on “strengthening of stable capital base,” considering global discussions about capital adequacy and the uncertainty of economic and market trends.

Based on this policy, in consideration of our consolidated financial results, we plan to make cash dividend payments of ¥8 per share of common stock (a decrease of ¥2 from the previous fiscal year) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 as previously announced.

We also propose making dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed (i.e., a cash dividend of ¥20 per share for the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock and a cash dividend of ¥30 per share for the Thirteenth Series Class XIII Preferred Stock).

As for the dividend forecast for fiscal 2010, in the present circumstances of a heightened awareness of the importance of financial institutions’ capital adequacy, we continue to consider the balance between “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders”. From this standpoint, we plan to make cash dividend payments of ¥6 per share of common stock.

The above dividend estimate is based on information that is currently available to us and on assumptions regarding factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Please refer to “forward-looking statements” on page 1-2.

3. MANAGEMENT POLICY

(1) Principal Management Policy

Mizuho Financial Group (the “Group”) pursues our goals of being held in high regard by our shareholders and the financial markets and earning widespread trust from the community as Japan’s leading comprehensive financial services group on the basis of the three fundamental management philosophies below.

 

  a) To provide the highest level of comprehensive financial services to our customers and clients.

 

  b) To provide an attractive, inspiring workplace for our employees where they can each demonstrate their rich individuality and ability to meet their respective challenges.

 

  c) To enable each group company to demonstrate to the utmost its own particular characteristics and strengths in its respective business field and function.

(2) Management’s Medium/Long-term Targets and Issues to be Resolved

The actions taken to stimulate the economy by individual countries have been effective, and the global economy has emerged from its worst and is picking up moderately. Nevertheless, in a situation where causes of concern exist, such as the effects of the cessation of economic stimulus packages and worsening employment, it remains uncertain whether the global economy is capable of maintaining its recovery going forward.

In such business environment, the Group announced the “Mizuho’s Transformation Program” on May 14, 2010, as its Medium-term Management Policy. This formulates a policy to enhance profitability, financial base and front-line business capabilities of the Group through a fundamental review of those areas in an aim to respond promptly and appropriately to a new business environment while the Group practices its “customer first policy”. By promoting the “Mizuho’s Transformation Program”, which consists of three (3) programs, namely, Program for Improving Profitability, Program for Enhancing Financial Base, and Program for Strengthening Front-line Business Capabilities, the Group aims to become the financial institution most trusted by customers.

With respect to capital management, because the strengthening of its capital base has become increasingly important for financial institutions as a reform of global capital regulations is currently being conducted, the Group has established a new medium-term target of increasing its consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio level to approximately 12%, and its “prime capital *” level to 8% or above. (* Prime capital is calculated by the following formula: Prime capital = Tier 1 capital - preferred securities - preferred stock (excluding mandatory convertible preferred stock))

The MHFG’s board of directors resolved on May 14, 2010 to file a Shelf Registration Statement (hakkoutourokusho) for the issuance of its common stock in an amount of up to JPY 800.0 billion. The decision is aimed at establishing a capital base that will serve as a foundation for the Group’s future sustainable growth, on a basis of reforms in capital regulation. This registration is to secure flexibility of capital to expand in business areas with high growth potential and to further develop business with its customers. The Group will continuously make efforts to strengthen its capital base through the building-up of its retained earnings by strengthening its profitability, and through implementing various countermeasures in anticipation of developments regarding reforms in capital regulations.

The Group companies will strengthen profitability by providing superior financial services to their customers through the use of their respective strengths and the promotion of mutual collaboration within the Group. In compliance with the Law concerning Temporary Measures to Facilitate Financing for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, etc. of Japan, the Group companies are constantly aware of a financial institution’s social responsibility and the importance of financial institution’s public mission, and will make efforts to facilitate financing uniformly through the Group. The Group will also strive to win the further confidence of its domestic and overseas customers by continuing to establish a firm compliance structure and an advanced risk management regime.

In order to become the “top corporate finance provider,” MHCB will aim to continuously strengthen its profitability by mainly focusing on its strategic business fields, and continuously establish a solid management administration regime that is capable of meeting changes in the environment.

In addition, MHCB will reinforce the framework for improving its ability to offer financial solutions to domestic customers and will promote collaboration with the Group companies.

There is no applicable information.

(6) FUNDAMENTAL AND IMPORTANT MATTERS FOR THE PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Scope of Consolidation

 

  a) Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 162

Names of principal companies:

Mizuho Bank, Ltd.

Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd.

Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd.

Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd.

On May 7, 2009, Shinko Securities Co., Ltd. (“Shinko”) (which was an affiliate of MHFG) and Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. (“MHSC”) (which was a subsidiary of MHFG) consummated a merger, under which Shinko became the surviving entity and MHSC became the absorbed entity. The trade name was changed to “Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd.” upon the merger.

During the period, Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. after the merger and 27 other companies were newly consolidated as a result of the merger between MHSC and Shinko and other factors.

During the period, Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. before the merger and ten other companies were excluded from the scope of consolidation as a result of dissolution upon the merger and other factors.

 

  b) Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries: 0

2. Application of the Equity Method

 

  a) Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries under the equity method: 0

 

  b) Number of affiliates under the equity method: 21

Name of principal company:

The Chiba Kogyo Bank, Ltd.

During the period, Eiwa Securities Co. Ltd. and one other company were newly included in the scope of the equity method as a result of the merger between MHSC and Shinko.

During the period, Shinko Securities Co., Ltd. and two other companies were excluded from the scope of the equity method as they became consolidated subsidiaries as a result of the merger with Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd.

 

  c) Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries not under the equity method: 0

 

  d) Affiliates not under the equity method:

Name of principal company:

The necessary adjustments have been made to the financial statements for any significant transactions that took place between their respective balance sheet dates and the date of the consolidated financial statements.

4. Special Purpose Entities Subject to Disclosure

1-23


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

5. STANDARDS OF ACCOUNTING METHOD

Amounts less than one million yen are rounded down.

 

1. Trading Assets & Liabilities and Trading Income & Expenses

Trading transactions intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations and arbitrage opportunities in interest rates, currency exchange rates, market prices of securities and related indices are recognized on a trade date basis and recorded in Trading Assets or Trading Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Income or expenses generated on the relevant trading transactions are recorded in Trading Income or Trading Expenses on the consolidated statement of income.

Securities and other monetary claims held for trading purposes are stated at fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date. Derivative financial products, such as swaps, futures and option transactions, are stated at fair value, assuming that such transactions are terminated and settled at the consolidated balance sheet date.

Trading Income and Trading Expenses include the interest received and the interest paid during the fiscal year, the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of securities and other monetary claims between the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, and the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of financial derivatives between the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, assuming they were settled at the end of the fiscal year.

 

2. Securities

(i) Bonds held to maturity are stated at amortized cost (straight-line method) and determined by the moving average method. Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, which are not under the equity method, are stated at acquisition cost and determined by the moving average method. Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value. Fair value of Japanese stocks with a quoted market price is determined based on the average quoted market price over the month preceding the consolidated balance sheet date. Fair value of securities other than Japanese stocks is determined at the quoted market price if available, or other reasonable value at the consolidated balance sheet date (cost of securities sold is calculated primarily by the moving average method). Other Securities, the fair values of which are extremely difficult to determine, are stated at acquisition cost or amortized cost and determined by the moving average method.

The net unrealized gains on Other Securities are included directly in Net Assets, net of applicable income taxes after excluding gains and losses as a result of the fair-value hedge method.

(ii) Securities which are held as trust assets in Money Held in Trust accounts are valued in the same way as given in (i) above.

 

3. Derivative Transactions

Derivative transactions (other than transactions for trading purposes) are valued at fair value.

 

4. Depreciation

(1) Tangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets)

Depreciation of buildings is computed mainly by the straight-line method, and that of others is computed mainly by the declining-balance method. The range of useful lives is as follows:

 

Buildings:    3 years to 50 years
Others:    2 years to 20 years

(2) Intangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets)

Amortization of Intangible Fixed Assets is computed by the straight-line method. Development costs for internally-used software are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives of mainly five years as determined by MHFG and consolidated subsidiaries.

(3) Lease Assets

Depreciation of lease assets booked in Tangible Fixed Assets and Intangible Fixed Assets which are concerned with finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership is mainly computed by the same method as the one applied to fixed assets owned by us.

 

1-24


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

5. Deferred Assets

(1) Stock issuance costs

Stock issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

(2) Bond issuance costs

Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

(3) Debenture issuance costs

Debenture issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

(4) Bond discounts

Bonds are stated at amortized costs computed by the straight-line method on the consolidated balance sheets.

Bond discounts booked on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the bond by applying the previous accounting method and the unamortized balance is directly deducted from bonds, based on the tentative measure stipulated in the “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (ASBJ Report No. 19, August 11, 2006).

 

6. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans

Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans of major domestic consolidated subsidiaries are maintained in accordance with internally established standards for write-offs and reserve provisions.

For claims extended to obligors that are legally bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Law, Special Liquidation under the Company Law or other similar laws (“Bankrupt Obligors”), and to obligors that are effectively in similar conditions (“Substantially Bankrupt Obligors”), reserves are maintained at the amounts of claims net of direct write-offs described below and expected amounts recoverable from the disposition of collateral and the amounts recoverable under guarantees. For claims extended to obligors that are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but are likely to be bankrupt (“Intensive Control Obligors”), reserves are maintained at the amounts deemed necessary based on overall solvency analyses of the amounts of claims net of expected amounts recoverable from the disposition of collateral and the amounts recoverable under guarantees.

For claims extended to Intensive Control Obligors and Obligors with Restructured Loans and others, if the exposure to an obligor exceeds a certain specific amount, reserves are provided as follows: (i) if future cash flows of the principal and interest can be reasonably estimated, the discounted cash flow method is applied, under which the reserve is determined as the difference between the book value of the loan and its present value of future cash flows discounted using the contractual interest rate before the loan was classified as a Restructured Loan, and (ii) if future cash flows of the principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, reserves are provided for the losses estimated for each individual loan.

For claims extended to other obligors, reserves are maintained at rates derived from historical credit loss experience and other factors. Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans to Restructuring Countries is maintained in order to cover possible losses based on analyses of the political and economic climates of the countries.

All claims are assessed by each claim origination department in accordance with the internally established “Self-assessment Standard,” and the results of the assessments are verified and examined by the independent examination departments. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans are provided for on the basis of such verified assessments.

In the case of claims to Bankrupt Obligors and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, which are collateralized or guaranteed by a third party, the amounts deemed uncollectible (calculated by deducting the anticipated proceeds from the sale of collateral pledged against the claims and amounts that are expected to be recovered from guarantors of the claims) are written off against the respective claims balances. The total directly written-off amount was ¥568,404 million.

Other consolidated subsidiaries provide the amount necessary to cover the loan losses based upon past experience and other factors for general claims and the assessment for each individual loan for other claims.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

7. Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments

Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments is maintained to provide against possible losses on investments in securities, after taking into consideration the financial condition and other factors concerning the investee company.

Except for securitization products which are included as reference assets of another securitization schemes of the Group’s domestic banking subsidiary, Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments is provided against unrealized losses on securitization products related with the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe which were made as an alternative to loans by the Group’s domestic banking subsidiary. Since securities are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, the balance of Securities is offset against that of Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments by ¥15,269 million.

 

8. Reserve for Bonus Payments

Reserve for Bonus Payments, which is provided for future bonus payments to employees, is maintained at the amount accrued at the end of the fiscal year, based on the estimated future payments.

 

9. Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits

Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits (including Prepaid Pension Cost), which is provided for future benefit payments to employees, is recorded as the required amount, based on the projected benefit obligation and the estimated plan asset amounts at the end of the fiscal year. Unrecognized actuarial differences are recognized as income or expenses from the following fiscal year under the straight-line method over a certain term within the average remaining service period of the employees of the respective fiscal year.

 

10. Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits

Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits, which is provided for future retirement benefit payments to directors, corporate auditors, and executive officers, is recognized at the amount accrued at the end of the respective fiscal year, based on the internally established standards.

 

11. Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans

Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans is provided for possible future losses on sales of loans at the amount deemed necessary based on a reasonable estimate of possible future losses, taking into consideration the current financial condition that can change rapidly.

 

12. Reserve for Contingencies

Reserve for Contingencies is maintained to provide against possible losses from contingencies, which are not covered by other specific reserves in off-balance transactions, trust transactions and others. The balance is an estimate of possible future losses, on an individual basis, considered to require a reserve.

 

13. Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits

Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits is provided against the losses for the deposits derecognized from the liabilities at the estimated amount of future claims for withdrawal by depositors and others.

 

14. Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures

Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures is provided for the debentures derecognized from Liabilities at the estimated amount for future claims.

 

1-26


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

15. Reserve under Special Laws

Reserve under Special Laws is Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange. This is the reserve pursuant to Article 46-5, Paragraph 1 and Article 48-3, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law to indemnify the losses incurred from accidents in the purchase and sale of securities, other transactions or derivative transactions.

 

16. Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and accounts of overseas branches of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and a domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiary are translated into Japanese yen primarily at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, with the exception of the investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not under the equity method, which are translated at historical exchange rates.

Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies of the consolidated subsidiaries, except for the transactions mentioned above, are translated into Japanese yen primarily at the exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet dates.

 

17. Hedge Accounting

(1) Interest Rate Risk

The deferred method, the fair-value hedge method or the exceptional accrual method for interest rate swaps are applied as hedge accounting methods.

The portfolio hedge transaction for a large volume of small-value monetary claims and liabilities of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries is accounted for in accordance with the method stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.24).

The effectiveness of hedging activities for the portfolio hedge transaction for a large volume of small-value monetary claims and liabilities is assessed as follows:

(i) as for hedging activities to offset market fluctuation risks, the effectiveness is assessed by bracketing both the hedged instruments, such as deposits and loans, and the hedging instruments, such as interest-rate swaps, in the same maturity bucket.

(ii) as for hedging activities to fix the cash flows, the effectiveness is assessed based on the correlation between a base interest rate index of the hedged instrument and that of the hedging instrument.

The effectiveness of the individual hedge is assessed based on the comparison of the fluctuation in the market or of cash flows of the hedged instruments with that of the hedging instruments.

Among Net Deferred Hedge Losses, net of Taxes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, those deferred hedge losses are included that resulted from the application of the macro-hedge method based on the “Tentative Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.15), under which the overall interest rate risks inherent in loans, deposits and others are controlled on a macro-basis using derivatives transactions. The deferred hedge gains/losses are amortized as interest income or interest expenses over the remaining maturity and average remaining maturity of the respective hedging instruments. The unamortized amounts of gross deferred hedge losses and gross deferred hedge gains on the macro-hedges, before net of applicable income taxes were ¥41,464 million and ¥37,260 million, respectively.

(2) Foreign Exchange Risk

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and some of domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries apply the deferred method of hedge accounting to hedge foreign exchange risks associated with various financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Foreign Currency Transactions for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25). The effectiveness of the hedge is assessed by confirming that the amount of the foreign currency position of the hedged monetary claims and liabilities is equal to or larger than that of currency-swap transactions, exchange swap transactions, and similar transactions designated as the hedging instruments of the foreign exchange risk.

In addition to the above methods, these subsidiaries apply the deferred method or the fair-value hedge method to portfolio hedges of the foreign exchange risks associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates in foreign currency and Other Securities in foreign currency (except for bonds) identified as hedged items in advance, as long as the amount of foreign currency payables of spot and forward foreign exchange contracts exceeds the amount of acquisition cost of the hedged foreign securities in foreign currency.

(3) Inter-company Transactions

Inter-company interest rate swaps, currency swaps and similar derivatives among consolidated companies or between trading accounts and other accounts, which are designated as hedges, are not eliminated and related gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income or deferred under hedge accounting, because these inter-company derivatives are executed according to the criteria for appropriate outside third-party cover operations which are treated as hedge transactions objectively in accordance with JICPA Industry Audit Committee Reports No. 24 and 25.

 

18. Consumption Taxes and other

With respect to MHFG and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, Japanese consumption taxes and local consumption taxes are excluded from transaction amounts.

 

19. Amortization Method of Goodwill and Amortization Period

As a rule, Goodwill is amortized over a period up to 20 years under the straight-line method. The entire amount is expensed as incurred if the amount has no material impact.

 

20. Scope of Cash and Cash Equivalents on Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, Cash and Cash Equivalents consists of cash and due from central banks included in Cash and Due from Banks on the consolidated balance sheet.

(7) CHANGES OF FUNDAMENTAL AND IMPORTANT MATTERS FOR THE PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Changes of Accounting Method)

Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and others

As “Accounting Standard for Business Combinations” (ASBJ Statement No.21, December 26, 2008), “Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Statement No.22, December 26, 2008), “Partial amendments to Accounting Standard for Research and Development Costs” (ASBJ Statement No.23, December 26, 2008), “Revised Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures” (ASBJ Statement No.7 (Revised 2008), December 26, 2008), “Revised Accounting Standard for Equity Method of Accounting for Investments” (ASBJ Statement No.16 (Revised 2008), released on December 26, 2008), and “Revised Guidance on Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures” (ASBJ Guidance No.10 (Revised 2008), December 26, 2008) can be applied for the first business combination and business divestitures conducted in the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2009, MHFG has applied these accounting standards and others beginning with this fiscal year.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments

MHFG has applied “Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Statement No. 10, March 10, 2008) and “Guidance on Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Guidance No. 19, March 10, 2008) from the end of the fiscal year.

As a result, Other Debt Purchased increased by ¥633 million, Securities increased by ¥15,242 million, Deferred Tax Assets decreased by ¥12,906 million, Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans decreased by ¥20,178 million, Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Other Securities, net of Taxes increased by ¥8,386 million, Minority Interests increased by ¥28 million, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests increased by ¥14,745 million, respectively, and Net Income increased by ¥14,732 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

(8) CHANGES IN PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Consolidated Balance Sheet)

During the fiscal year, the points for the future use of Mizuho Mileage Club were abolished and the unused balance of points was cleared. In consequence, the total amount of the Reserve for Frequent Users Services provided for Mizuho Mileage Club was liquidated. As a result, the amount of the Reserve for Frequent Users Services is now immaterial, and beginning with this fiscal year, the Reserve for Frequent Users Services is now included within Other Liabilities.

The Reserve for Frequent Users Services included within Other Liabilities as of March 31, 2010 amounted to ¥581 million.

(Consolidated Statement of Income)

 

 Refund of Income Taxes formerly included within Current Income Taxes is separately presented from this fiscal year due to increased materiality. Refund of Income Taxes formerly included within Current Income Taxes as of March 31, 2009 was ¥416 million.

 

As “Cabinet Office Ordinance Partially Revising Regulation on Terminology, Forms and Preparation of Financial Statements” (Cabinet Office Ordinance No.5, March 24, 2009) can be applied from the beginning of the fiscal year which begins on or after April 1, 2009 based on “Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Statement No.22, December 26, 2008), MHFG has presented “Income before Minority Interests” beginning with fiscal 2009.

(9) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Issuance of New Shares by the Spread Method

The spread method is adopted for the issuance of new shares (2,804,400 thousand shares) with a payment date of July 23, 2009. This is a method where the new shares are underwritten and purchased by the underwriters at the amount to be paid to MHFG (¥176.40 per share), and sold to the investors at an issue price (¥184.00 per share) different from the amount to be paid to MHFG.

Using the spread method, the aggregate amount of the difference between (a) the issue price and (b) the amount to be paid to MHFG is retained by the underwriters, and allocated to each of the underwriters as underwriting fees. Accordingly, Other Ordinary Expenses does not include the amount equivalent to such underwriting fees of ¥21,313 million related to the issuance.

The amount equivalent to such underwriting fees of ¥7,129 million, recognized as profit by consolidated subsidiaries, is eliminated and recorded as an increase in Capital Surplus.

(FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS)

1.Matters relating to the conditions of financial instruments

(1) Policy on financial instruments

Mizuho Financial Group (the “Group”), which primarily engages in banking business, incurs financial liabilities such as customer deposits and funding received from the financial markets on the funding side while holding financial assets such as customer loans, stocks and bonds on the investment side, and also engages in trading business for certain financial products. Some subsidiaries conduct securities business and other financial business.

For the above funding and investment business, the Group manages appropriately the risks of each financial instrument and carefully matches difference in transaction terms and other risk factors.

(2) Contents and Risk of Financial Products

The main financial assets of the Group consist of loans to customers and securities such as Japanese stocks and government bonds. The Group holds these securities for the purpose of reserves for deposit payments reserves and as investments.

These financial assets are subject to various types of risk that may be incurred by the Group due to a decline in, or total loss of, the value of assets, as a result of deterioration in a counterparty’s and an issuer’s financial position (“credit risk”), or incurred by the Group due to fluctuations in interest rates, stock prices and foreign exchange rates and so on (“market risk”).

The main financing source of the Group is a stable source of deposits from its customers in addition to direct funding from the financial market. These financing sources are subject to the risk of losses (“liquidity risk”) arising from funding difficulties due to a deterioration in our financial position that makes it difficult for us to raise the necessary funds or that forces us to raise funds at significantly higher interest rates than usual.

In addition, the Group uses derivative financial products to control the interest rate risk related to the assets and liabilities of the Group, as part of our asset and liability management (“ALM”). The Group primarily utilizes the portfolio hedge by grouping numerous financial assets and liabilities such as loans and deposits into similar interest risk units in accordance with risk management policies. Some derivative products like interest rate swaps are used as hedging methods for cash-flow hedges or fair value hedges.

The Group applies hedge accounting to the majority of these products, treating them as deferred hedges. The effectiveness of the hedges is assessed periodically by regression analysis and other methods to ensure whether the derivative financial products effectively work in order to offset the exposure to changes in fair value and variable cash flows from hedged items. It should be noted that the Group uses derivative financial products for trading purposes and so on as well.

Progress in financial deregulation and internationalization has led to growth in the diversity and complexity of financial assets and liabilities of the Group, exposing the Group to various risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and other risks.

(3) Risk Management for Financial Products

 Commitment to Risk Management

We recognize the conducting of operations tailored to the risks and managing such risks as a key issue relating to overall management. In order to implement our business strategy while maintaining our financial stability, we maintain comprehensive risk management and control measures.

We maintain basic policies for risk management established by our board of directors that are applicable to the entire Group. These policies clearly define the kinds of risks to be managed, set forth the organizational structure and provide for the human resources training necessary for appropriate levels of risk management.

The policies also provide for audits to measure the effectiveness and suitability of the risk management structure. In line with these basic policies, we maintain various measures to strengthen and enhance the sophistication of our risk management system.

General Concept of Risk Management

We classify our risk exposures according to the various kinds of risk, including credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk, and manage each type of risk according to its characteristics.

 

1-35


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

In addition to managing each type of risk individually, we have established a risk management structure to identify and evaluate overall risk and, where necessary, to devise appropriate responses to keep risk within limits that are managerially acceptable in both qualitative and quantitative terms.

More specifically, we allocate risk capital to our principal banking subsidiaries and other core group companies to control risk within the limits set for each company. We also control risk within managerially acceptable limits by working to ensure that the overall risk we hold on a consolidated basis does not exceed shareholders’ equity and other measures of financial strength.

To ensure the ongoing financial health of the Group, our principal banking subsidiaries and other core group companies, we regularly monitor the manner in which risk capital is being used in order to obtain a proper grasp of the risk profile within this framework. Reports are also submitted to the board of directors and other committees of each company.

ƒ Credit Risk Management

We have adopted two different but mutually complementary approaches in credit risk management. The first approach is “credit management,” in which we manage the process for each individual transaction and individual obligor from execution until collection, based on our assessment of the credit quality of the customer. Through this process, we curb losses in the case of a credit event. The second is “credit portfolio management,” in which we utilize statistical methods to assess the potential for losses related to credit risk. Through this process, we identify credit risk and respond appropriately.

Our board of directors determines the MHFG’s key matters pertaining to credit risk management. In addition, we have established the Portfolio Management Committee as one of its business policy committees. This committee of MHFG discusses and coordinates basic policy in connection with credit risk management and matters in connection with overall credit portfolio management and credit risk monitoring for the Group. Under the control of the Chief Risk Officer of MHFG, the Risk Management Division and the Credit Risk Management Division jointly monitor, analyze and submit suggestions concerning credit risk and formulate and execute plans in connection with basic matters pertaining to credit risk management.

We use statistical methods to manage the possibility of losses by measuring the expected average loss for a one-year risk horizon (“expected loss”) and the maximum loss within a certain confidence interval (“credit VaR”). The difference between expected loss and credit VaR is measured as the credit risk amount (“unexpected loss”). We recognize two types of risk arising from allowing too large a proportion of overall credit risk to be allocated in certain areas. One type is “credit concentration risk,” which stems from granting excessive credit to certain individual counterparties. The other type is “chain-reaction default risk,” which arises from granting excessive credit to certain corporate groups, industrial sectors and other groupings. We manage these risks appropriately in line with our specific guidelines for each.

The board of directors of each of our principal banking subsidiaries and other core group companies determines key matters pertaining to credit risk in line with basic policies set forth by MHFG. Their respective business policy committees are responsible for discussing and coordinating overall management of their individual credit portfolios and transaction policies towards obligors.

The chief risk officer of each principal banking subsidiary and core group company is responsible for matters relating to planning and implementing credit risk management. The credit risk management division of each principal banking subsidiary is responsible for planning and administering credit risk management and conducting credit risk measuring and monitoring. Each credit division determines policies and approves/disapproves individual transactions regarding review and management of and collection from customers in accordance with the lines of authority set forth by each principal banking subsidiary. In addition, from the standpoint of internal controls, each of our principal banking subsidiaries has also established internal audit divisions that are independent of the business divisions in order to ensure appropriate credit risk management.

Market Risk Management

The board of directors of MHFG determines key matters pertaining to market risk management policies. In addition, we have established the ALM & Market Risk Committee as one of its business policy committees. The committee broadly discusses and coordinates matters relating to basic asset and liability management policies, risk planning and market risk management and proposes responses to emergencies such as sudden market changes.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

The Chief Risk Officer of MHFG is responsible for matters relating to market risk management planning and operations. The Risk Management Division of MHFG is responsible for monitoring market risk, reports and analyses, proposals, setting limits and guidelines, and formulating and implementing plans relating to market risk management. In addition, the division assesses and manages the overall market risk of the Group as a whole and keeps track of the market risk situation of our principal banking subsidiaries and other core group companies. The division also submits reports to the Chief Executive Officer on a daily basis and to our board of directors and the executive management committee of MHFG on a regular basis.

To manage market risk, we set limits that correspond to risk capital allocations. The amount of risk capital allocated to market risk corresponds to VaR and additional costs that may arise in order to close relevant positions. For trading and banking activities, we set limits for VaR and for losses. For banking activities, we set position limits based on interest rate sensitivity as needed.

Our principal banking subsidiaries and certain other core group companies have formulated their basic policies in line with the basic policies determined by MHFG. Their boards of directors determine important matters relating to market risk management while their Chief Executive Officers are responsible for controlling market risk. Based on a common Mizuho Financial Group risk capital allocation framework, the above-mentioned companies manage market risk by setting limits according to the risk capital allocated to market risk by MHFG.

Our principal banking subsidiaries and certain other core group companies have the same market risk management structure as MHFG, such as their business policy committees being responsible for overall discussion and coordination of the market risk management, including their ALM & market risk management committees.

In addition, they have established middle offices specializing in risk management that are independent of their front offices, which engage in market transactions, and their back offices, which are responsible for book entries and settlements. This system enables them to achieve mutual checks and control over market operations.

When VaR is not adequate to control risk, the middle offices manage risk using additional risk indices such as 10 BPV (Basis Point Value), carry out stress tests and set stop loss limits as needed.

Liquidity Risk Management

Our liquidity risk management structure is generally the same as the market risk management structure described above (“Item Market Risk Management”). However, the head of the Financial Control & Accounting Group of MHFG is additionally responsible for matters relating to planning and running cash flow management operations, while the Financial Planning Division is responsible for monitoring and adjusting the cash flow management situation and for planning and implementing cash flow management. Reports on the cash flow situation are submitted to the ALM & market risk management committee, the executive management committee and the Chief Executive Officer.

We measure liquidity risk using indices pertaining to cash flow, such as limits on funds raised in the market. Limits on liquidity risk are discussed and coordinated by the ALM & market risk management committee, discussed further by the executive management committee and determined by the Chief Executive Officer. We have established classifications for the cash flow conditions affecting the Group, ranging from “normal” to “cause for concern” and “critical,” and have established procedures for dealing with cases which are deemed to fall into the “cause for concern” or “critical” categories. In addition, we have constructed a system under which we will be able to respond smoothly in the event of emergency situations that affect our funding by establishing action plans.

(4) Supplementary explanation of matters relating to fair value of financial instruments and others

Fair values of financial instruments include the values based on market prices, and the values deemed as market prices obtained by the reasonable estimate when the financial instruments do not have market prices. Since certain assumptions and others are adopted for calculating such values, they may differ when adopting different assumptions and others.

(Note 1) Calculation method of fair value of financial instruments

Assets

 

(1) Cash and Due from Banks

For Due from Banks which have no maturity, since fair values of these items approximate book values, we deem the book values to be fair values. For Due from Banks which have maturity, since contractual terms of these items are short (i.e., within six months) and fair values of these items approximate book values, we deem the book values to be fair values.

 

(2) Call Loans and Bills Purchased, (3) Receivables under Resale Agreements and (4) Guarantee Deposits Paid under Securities Borrowing Transactions

Since contractual terms of these items are short (i.e., within six months) and fair values of these items approximate book values, we deem the book values to be fair values.

 

(5) Other Debt Purchased

Fair values of Other Debt Purchased are based on the values deemed as market prices obtained by the reasonable estimate such as those obtained from brokers and financial information vendors.

 

(6) Trading Assets

Fair values of securities held for trading, such as bonds held for trading, are based on the market prices and others.

 

(7) Money Held in Trust

As to securities managed as trust assets in a directed money trust for separate investment with the management of securities as its primary purpose, stocks are based on the prices on stock exchanges, and bonds are based on the market prices and others. For other Money Held in Trust, since fair values of these items approximate book values, we deem the book values to be fair values. The notes to Money Held in Trust based on holding purpose are stated in “(Notes to Money Held in Trust).”

 

(8) Securities

Fair values of stocks are based on the prices on securities exchanges, and those of bonds and others are based on the market prices, valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors and others. Fair values of investment trusts are based on the disclosed net asset value. Fair values of private placement bonds are calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest and others at interest rates based on the discount rate reflecting expected loss and various risk factors by categories according to the internal ratings and terms.

Fair values of Floating-rate Japanese Government Bonds, according to our determination that current market prices may not reflect the fair value, are based on the reasonably calculated prices as book value at the end of the current fiscal year. In deriving the reasonably calculated prices, we used the discount cash flow method as well as other methods. The price decision variables include the yield of 10-year Japanese Government Bonds and the volatilities of interest rate swap options for 10-year Japanese Government Bonds as underlying assets.

With respect to the credit investments in securitization products made as an alternative to loans by the European, North American and other offices of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries, given the current situation in which the volume of actual transactions is extremely limited and there exists a considerable gap between the offers and bids of sellers and buyers, we determined that valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors cannot be deemed to be the fair value, and we applied reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management as fair value. In deriving reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management mentioned above, we used the discounted cash flow method. The price decision variables include default rates, recovery rates, pre-payment rates and discount rates, and the subject Securities included residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other asset backed securities.

The notes to Securities based on holding purpose are stated in “(Securities).”

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

(9) Loans and Bills Discounted

Fair values of Loans and Bills Discounted are calculated by the total amount of principal and interest and others at interest rates based on the discount rate reflecting expected loss and various risk factors by categories according to the types, internal ratings and terms of the Loans and Bills Discounted. In addition, as to claims against bankrupt obligors, substantially bankrupt obligors and intensive control obligors, since the estimated amount of bad debts is calculated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows or the estimated amounts that we would be able to collect from collateral and guarantees, fair values approximate the consolidated balance sheet amount as of the consolidated balance sheet date minus the present estimated amount of bad debts, and we thus deem such amount to be fair values.

Of the Loans and Bills Discounted, for those without a fixed maturity due to loan characteristics such as limiting loans to within the value of pledged assets, we deem book values to be fair values since fair values are expected to approximate book values based on the estimated loan periods, interest rates and other conditions.

Liabilities

 

(1) Deposits

For demand deposits, we deem the payment amounts required on the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e., book values) to be fair values. In addition, fair values of fixed deposits are calculated by classifying them based on their terms and by discounting the future cash flows. The discount rates used in such calculations are the interest rates.

 

(2) Negotiable Certificates of Deposit

Fair values of Negotiable Certificates of Deposit are calculated by classifying them based on their terms and by discounting the future cash flows. The discount rates used in such calculations are the interest rates. Since fair values of those whose deposit terms are short (i.e., within six months) approximate book values, we mainly deem the book values to be fair values.

 

(3) Debentures

Fair values of Debentures are based on the market prices for the debentures which have market prices, and calculated by classifying them based on their terms and by discounting the future cash flows for those which do not have market prices. The discount rates used in such calculations are the interest rates.

 

(4) Call Money and Bills Sold, (5) Payables under Repurchase Agreements and (6) Guarantee Deposits Received under Securities Lending Transactions

Since contractual terms of these financial instruments are short (i.e., within six months) and fair values approximate book values, we deem the book values to be fair values.

 

(7) Trading Liabilities

Fair values of Securities Sold, Not yet Purchased in Trading Liabilities are based on the market prices and others.

 

1-40


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

(8) Borrowed Money

Fair values of Borrowed Money are calculated by discounting the total amount of the principal and interest of such Borrowed Money classified by certain period at the interest rates considered to be applicable to similar loans.

 

(9) Bonds and Notes

Fair values of Bonds and Notes issued by MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries are based on the market prices for Bonds and Notes which have market prices, and calculated by discounting the total amount of principal and interest by the interest rates considered to be applicable to similar Bonds and Notes for those which do not have market prices.

Derivative Transactions

Derivative transactions include interest rate-related transactions (futures, options, swaps and others), currency-related transactions (futures, options, swaps and others), bond-related transactions (futures, futures options and others), and are based on the prices on securities exchanges, discounted value of future cash flows, option pricing models and others.

 

(Note 2)   Financial instruments whose fair values are deemed to be extremely difficult to determine are indicated below, and are not included in “Assets (5) Other Debt Purchased,” “Assets (7) Money Held in Trust,” and “Assets (8) Other Securities” in fair value information of financial instruments.

6. Securities for which the Holding Purpose has Changed

There were no securities for which the holding purpose has changed during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

7. Impairment (“Devaluation”) of Securities

Certain Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are devalued to the fair value, and the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value is treated as the loss for the fiscal year (impairment (devaluation)), if the fair value (primarily the closing market price at the consolidated balance sheet date) has significantly deteriorated compared with the acquisition cost (including amortized cost), and unless it is deemed that there is a possibility of a recovery in the fair value. The amount of impairment (devaluation) for the fiscal year was ¥32,553 million.

The criteria for determining whether a security’s fair value has “significantly deteriorated” are outlined as follows:

 

 

Securities whose fair value is 50% or less of the acquisition cost

Securities whose fair value exceeds 50% but is 70% or less of the acquisition cost and the quoted market price maintains a certain level or lower.

  3.   As “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Statement No.13, March 30, 2007) and “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Guidance No.16) are applied from the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2008, MHFG has applied the new accounting standard and guidance beginning with this fiscal year. Although MHFG accounted for finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership to lessee as operating leases, by this application, MHFG accounts for them as normal trade transactions, including the transactions that started before the end of fiscal 2007. The amount of accumulated impact until the end of fiscal 2007 on Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests is recorded in Extraordinary Losses. As a result, Assets increased by ¥7,047 million, ¥42 million and ¥2,926 million, for Banking Business, Securities Business and Other, respectively, compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

  3.   With respect to the credit investments in securitization products made as an alternative to loans by the European and North American offices of our domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries, we had previously applied as fair value the valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors based on our determination that such valuations constitute reasonably calculated prices that can be used as a proxy for market prices. Given the current situation in which the volume of actual transactions is extremely limited and there exists a considerable gap between the offers and bids of sellers and buyers, we determined that valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors cannot be deemed to be the fair value, and we applied reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management as fair value. As a result, Assets increased in Japan, Americas and Europe by ¥22,040 million, ¥17,479 million and ¥104,767 million, respectively. Ordinary Income increased in Europe by ¥416 million, and Ordinary Expenses decreased in Japan, Americas and Europe by ¥6,814 million, ¥589 million and ¥99,558 million, respectively. Ordinary Profits increased in Americas by ¥589 million, and Ordinary Losses decreased in Japan and Europe by ¥6,814 million and ¥99,975 million, respectively.

<Under Japanese GAAP>

Summary Results for Fiscal 2009

I. Summary of Income Analysis

 

Ø  

Consolidated Net Business Profits

 

   

Consolidated Gross Profits for fiscal 2009 increased by JPY 189.6 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 1,996.6 billion.

 

   

Gross Profits of the banking subsidiaries increased by JPY 107.1 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 1,593.1 billion, due to an increase in income derived from flexible and timely operations in the Trading segment and other factors partly offset by a decrease in income from Customer Groups mainly due to a decline in deposit income reflecting the drop in market interest rates.

 

   

Despite a year-on-year increase of JPY 37.2 billion in expenses associated with employee retirement benefits, G&A expenses of the banking subsidiaries decreased by JPY 2.0 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 907.2 billion, due to our overall cost reduction efforts.

 

   

Aggregated consolidated Gross Profits (Net Operating Revenues) of our two securities subsidiaries (Mizuho Securities* and Mizuho Investors Securities) increased by JPY 167.6 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 300.6 billion, mainly due to, in addition to an increase in commission income, the effect of the merger with Shinko Securities.

 

  * Our financial results for fiscal 2008 did not include the results of Shinko Securities (Net Operating Revenues of JPY 93.5 billion and Ordinary Losses of JPY 14.2 billion), since Shinko Securities was an affiliate under the equity method of our group at that time.

 

   

As a result, Consolidated Net Business Profits amounted to JPY 702.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of JPY 80.0 billion.

 

Ø  

Consolidated Net Income

 

   

Consolidated Net Income for fiscal 2009 amounted to JPY 239.4 billion due to considerably improved Credit-related Costs and Net Gains (Losses) related to Stocks from the previous fiscal year in addition to the aforementioned factors.

 

   

Consolidated Credit-related Costs decreased by JPY 317.4 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 219.3 billion. This was primarily due to an improvement in economic conditions and to our efforts for appropriate credit management while responding to our customers’ funding needs. Credit Cost Ratio** of the 3 Banks was 22bps, a significant improvement from 69bps for the previous fiscal year.

 

  ** Credit-related Costs / Total claims under the Financial Reconstruction Law (aggregated amount of banking account and trust account)

 

   

Net Gains related to Stocks amounted to JPY 4.2 billion, a year-on-year improvement of JPY 404.5 billion, as a consequence of a significant decrease in devaluation loss reflecting the stock market recovery and recording Gains on Sales through our efforts to reduce our stock portfolio.

Ø  

Net Interest Income

 

   

The average loan balance for the second half of fiscal 2009 decreased by JPY 3.7 trillion compared with the first half due to a significant decrease (JPY 1.8 trillion) in loans to Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan and the Japanese Government as well as a decrease in loans to large corporate customers and others. Meanwhile, the loan balance as of the end of fiscal 2009 decreased by JPY 1.9 trillion from that as of the end of the first half (JPY 0.8 trillion of which was loans to Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan and the Japanese Government).

 

   

The domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin (*2 shown on the graph below) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 (three-month period from January to March 2010) was 1.39% and remained flat since the second quarter (three-month period from July to September 2009).

 

   

Net Interest Income on a consolidated basis for fiscal 2009 increased by JPY 82.8 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 1,151.7 billion, with an increase in Net Interest Income in the Trading segment and other factors.

Ø  

Non-Interest Income

 

   

Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks for fiscal 2009 amounted to JPY 289.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of JPY 10.1 billion. This was primarily due to a decrease in fee and commission income from solution-related business and overseas business with corporate customers as well as a decrease in profits from trust and asset management business of Mizuho Trust & Banking.

 

   

Fee income associated with sales of investment trusts to individual customers increased on a year-on-year basis.

 

   

Meanwhile, Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks for the second half of fiscal 2009 increased by JPY 16.9 billion compared with the first half. This was due to increases in fee and commission income from solution-related business and overseas business with corporate customers, profits from trust and asset management business, fee income associated with sales of investment trusts and others.

II. Financial Soundness

 

Ø  

Our NPL Ratio and our Net NPL Ratio reflecting the effects of Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans remained at a low level of 1.91% and 0.79%, respectively. The balance of Disclosed Claims under the Financial Reconstruction Law decreased from that as of March 31, 2009 and we maintained sufficient financial soundness.

 

Ø  

Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Other Securities amounted to JPY 267.6 billion driven mainly by the recovery in the stock markets.

 

Ø  

Our Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio was 13.46%, an improvement of 2.93% from that as of March 31, 2009.

III. Disciplined Capital Management

We are pursuing “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders” as our “disciplined capital management” policy. However, in light of factors such as the financial market turmoil and global economic downturn, we have been putting more priority on “strengthening of stable capital base” since the second half of fiscal 2008.

 

Ø  

Target level of Tier 1 capital ratio and prime capital

 

   

Thus far, our medium-term target has been to keep our consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio at 8% level and to maintain our prime capital* at a level of more than half of our Tier 1 capital. As of March 31, 2010, our consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio and our prime capital ratio were 9.09% and 5.62%, respectively.

 

   

Currently, it has become increasingly important for financial institutions to strengthen capital base amid the ongoing global discussions on the revision of capital regulations, and thus, as our new medium-term target, we aim to increase our consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio to 12% level and our prime capital ratio to 8% or above.

* Prime Capital = Tier 1 capital - preferred debt securities - preferred stock (excluding mandatory convertible preferred stock)

 

Ø  

Increase of our prime capital

 

   

In the first half of fiscal 2009, we issued common stock for the purpose of increasing our prime capital (the number of shares issued: 3 billion shares, total amount paid: JPY 529.2 billion).

 

   

Today, our board of directors resolved to file a Shelf Registration Statement (hakkotorokusho) in Japan for the issuance of our common shares up to JPY 800.0 billion. Our decision is aimed at establishing capital base as a cornerstone for our sustainable growth for the future, in anticipation of the revision of capital regulations. This is to ensure capital flexibility for us to expand our business areas with high growth potential and to promote customer-related businesses further.

 

   

In addition, pursuant to Mizuho’s Transformation Program announced today, we will strive to accumulate retained earnings through improvement in profitability.

 

   

As for Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock, JPY 412.6 billion was converted into common stock during fiscal 2009, and the outstanding balance of such preferred stock as of March 31, 2010 was JPY 499.2 billion (approximately 47% out of JPY 943.7 billion of the initial amount issued has been already converted into common stock).

 

   

Meanwhile, we have no plans to submit a proposal for an increase in total number of authorized shares at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for June 2010 (total number of shares of common stock available for issuance after considering the number of residual shares deliverable upon conversion of preferred stock or other reasons was 6.96 billion shares as of March 31, 2010).

We continue to pursue “disciplined capital management” policy, optimally balancing “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders” in accordance with changes in the business environment, our financial condition or other factors. Following this basic policy, we endeavor to strengthen our capital base through accumulating retained earnings by improvement in profitability and taking various measures in anticipation of the revision of capital regulations.

Earnings Plan for Fiscal 2010

(Figures below are on a consolidated basis)

 

Ø  

We plan Consolidated Net Business Profits for fiscal 2010 to be JPY 750.0 billion, an increase of JPY 47.3 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

This is in anticipation of further strengthening of profitability primarily in non-interest income from Customer Groups of the banking subsidiaries mainly by enhancing further the group synergies.

 

Ø  

We anticipate Credit-related Costs to be JPY -220.0 billion, almost the same level as that for fiscal 2009, mainly by thorough credit management, and Net Gains related to Stocks to be JPY 65.0 billion mainly through our continued efforts to reduce our stock portfolio.

 

Ø  

Based on the above, we plan Consolidate Net Income to be JPY 430.0 billion.

 

Ø  

It has become increasingly important for financial institutions to strengthen capital base, and we plan to make cash dividend payments of JPY 6 per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 (a year-on-year decrease of JPY 2) in consideration of the balance between “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders”. We plan to make dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed.

2. Estimation of Deferred Tax Assets, etc.

Non-Consolidated

(1) Calculation Policy

 

 

Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets is basically assessed based on future taxable income derived from future profitability, considering that Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking’s fundamental profitability enabled the three banks consistently to report an appropriate level of Net Business Profits in previous periods. Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking’s tax losses carry-forwards and future deductible temporary differences in the past resulted from nonrecurring special causes, e.g. losses from extraordinary and significant waiver of claims due to the crash of the bubble economy, acceleration of disposition of NPLs and stock holdings in accordance with government policy to stabilize promptly the financial system under the long deflationary depression, and the restructuring of businesses to meet the severe management environment. Since the three banks could have reported positive taxable income every year if the losses from these special factors were excluded, the conditions under the provisory clause of 5. (1)  of “Audit Guideline for Considering Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets” (JICPA Audit Committee Report No. 66) have been fulfilled. Period for future taxable income considered in the assessment is five years.

<Explanation>

Future taxable income was estimated using more conservative assumptions than those used in the Business Plan, etc. Details of the respective estimated five-year totals are as follows:

Gross Profits: ¥4,060.0 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥2,775.0 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥1,285.0 billion [3]

Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥395.0 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Deductible Temporary Differences: ¥1,112.2 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥870.8 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥435.5 billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥184.4 billion [24], ¥250.8 billion [25] of Net Deferred Tax Assets was recorded on the balance sheet.

<Explanation>

Future taxable income was estimated using more conservative assumptions than those used in the Business Plan, etc. Details of the respective estimated five-year totals are as follows:

Gross Profits: ¥2,753.5 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥1,234.5 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥1,519.0 billion [3]

Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥854.0 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Deductible Temporary Differences: ¥1,183.0 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥1,164.4 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥763.9 billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥217.1 billion [24], ¥183.2 billion [25] of Net Deferred Tax Assets was recorded on the balance sheet.
