Consolidated Financial Results
April 1, 2014 March 31, 2015
May 12, 2015
In preparing its consolidated financial information, ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries have complied with accounting principles generally accepted 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 Companys annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company believes that it will be considered a passive foreign investment company for United States Federal income tax purposes in the year to which these consolidated financial results relate and for the foreseeable future by reason of the composition of its assets and the nature of its income. A U.S. holder of the shares or ADSs of the Company is therefore 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 Companys annual report.

Economic Environment
While the world economy is now on the course of recovery, thanks to solid economic growth in the United States and other countries, protracted low growth rate of European economies, economic deterioration of resource exporting countries due to the sharp decline of oil prices, and downward revision of Chinas economic growth rate target are continuing to create uneven economic landscapes among different economies.
In Japan, as the trend of weakening yen stabilizes, we are seeing companies improve their revenues, adopt business plans that incorporate more active capital expenditures, and raise base salaries of employees.
Overview of Business Performance (April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015)
Total revenues for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 (hereinafter, the fiscal year) increased 58% to ¥2,174,283 million compared to ¥1,375,292 million during the previous fiscal year. Life insurance premiums and related investment income increased as a result of the recognition of investment income from underlying investments related to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts in connection with the consolidation of Hartford Life Insurance K.K. (hereinafter, HLIKK), which we acquired on July 1, 2014. In addition, services income increased due to contributions from DAIKYO INCORPORATED (hereinafter, DAIKYO), which became a consolidated subsidiary on February 27, 2014, Robeco Groep N.V. (hereinafter, Robeco), which was acquired on July 1, 2013, and from other newly consolidated subsidiaries acquired, as well as expansion of our environment and energy-related business. Sales of goods and real estate increased primarily due to contributions from newly acquired and consolidated subsidiaries and DAIKYO.
Total expenses increased 64% to ¥1,917,454 million compared to ¥1,172,244 million during the previous fiscal year. In line with the abovementioned revenue increases, life insurance costs, services expense, and costs of goods and real estate sold also increased. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased due in part to an increase in the number of consolidated subsidiaries and strong performance of fee business in the United States.
Meanwhile, HLIKK consolidation resulted in a bargain purchase gain in an amount representing the excess of fair value of the net assets acquired over the fair value of the consideration transferred.
As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes and discontinued operations for the fiscal year increased 20% to ¥344,017 million compared to ¥286,339 million during the previous fiscal year, and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders increased 25% to ¥234,948 million compared to ¥187,364 million during the previous fiscal year.
Starting from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 we made changes to line items presented in the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, and the consolidated statements of cash flows. These changes aim to reflect fairly the changing revenues structure of the Company, namely the increasing proportion of revenues from non-finance businesses, which has resulted from continued diversification of our business activities and also an increase in the number of subsidiaries acquired and consolidated in recent years. For instance, in the consolidated statements of income, revenues from transactions previously classified under other operating revenues and revenues from asset management and servicing have been reclassified into services income, a new line item that reflects actual business transactions more accurately. In the consolidated balance sheets, while there are no major changes, other operating assets has been changed to property under facility operations. The consolidated financial statements in the previous fiscal year have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these changes. For details of the changes made to the consolidated financial statements, refer to the note in page 16.
- 2 -
Since its acquisition on February 27, 2014, the Company had been consolidating DAIKYO on a lag basis. In order to reflect DAIKYOs financial position and results of operations and cash flows in the Companys consolidated financial statements in a concurrent manner, the Company eliminated the lag period and has aligned the fiscal year end of DAIKYO with the Companys fiscal year end of March 31 during the year ended March 31, 2015.
Because the elimination of a lag period represents a change in accounting principle, the Company retrospectively adjusted the previous fiscal years consolidated financial statements for the effects of the lag accounting.
Segment Information
Total segment profits increased 14% to ¥336,542 million compared to ¥295,237 million during the previous fiscal year. Real Estate and Investment and Operation segments had a decrease in segment profits. Retail and Overseas Business segments contributed the most to total segment profits, and Corporate Financial Services and Maintenance Leasing segments continued to produce steady segment profits.
Historically, when presenting operating results of segments, revenues from inter-segment transactions have not been included in the revenues of each segment. However, due to the increasing number of inter-segment transactions, we have decided to include revenues from inter-segment transactions into the revenues of each segment starting from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. As a result of this change, segment revenues for both this fiscal year and previous fiscal year have been adjusted accordingly. Nevertheless, the impact of this change on segment revenues was insignificant in amount for all periods presented.
In addition, during this fiscal year, the closing date of the accounting period of DAIKYO, which is grouped under Investment and Operation segment has been changed in order to eliminate the accounting period gap that previously existed between DAIKYO and ORIX. Based on this change, the financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been adjusted retrospectively.
Segment information for the fiscal year is as follows:
Corporate Financial Services Segment: Lending, leasing and fee business
In Japan, despite the negative impact on consumer spending and housing investment from the consumption tax hike that went into effect in April 2014, capital expenditures are expected to increase due to continued improvement in corporate revenues. We are also seeing an increase in lending by financial institutions to small and medium enterprises (hereinafter, SMEs) in addition to large corporations, while the competition in the lending business continues to intensify.
Segment revenues increased 8% to ¥85,502 million compared to ¥78,825 million during the previous fiscal year due to an increase in sales of goods and services income resulting primarily from revenue contribution from Yayoi Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Yayoi), which we acquired on December 22, 2014, and robust fee business including solar panel and life insurance sales to domestic SMEs, offsetting a decrease in finance revenues in line with the decreased average installment loan balances.
Segment expenses increased compared to the previous fiscal year, but overall, segment profits increased 3% to ¥25,519 million compared to ¥24,874 million during the previous fiscal year.
Segment assets increased 14% to ¥1,132,468 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due primarily to the inclusion of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded following the consolidation of Yayoi, offsetting a decrease in installment loans.

Maintenance Leasing Segment: Automobile leasing and rentals, car sharing and precision measuring equipment and IT-related equipment rentals and leasing
The Japanese automobile leasing industry has been experiencing steady recovery in the number of new auto leases in line with Japans gradual economic recovery, despite the temporary negative impact of the consumption tax hike that went into effect in April 2014.
Segment revenues increased 5% to ¥263,499 million from ¥251,328 million during the previous fiscal year due primarily to an increase in operating leases revenues and finance revenues resulting from the steady expansion of assets in the auto-business, and in services income derived from value-added services.
Meanwhile segment expenses increased due primarily to an increase in the costs of operating leases which was in line with revenues growth. As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 9% to ¥40,366 million compared to ¥37,062 million during the previous fiscal year.
Segment assets increased 7% to ¥662,851 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due primarily to steady increases in investment in operating leases and investment in direct financing leases.

Real Estate Segment: Real estate development, rental and financing; facility operation; REIT asset management; and real estate investment and advisory services
Office rents and vacancy rates in the Japanese office building market are continuing to show signs of improvement. J-REIT and foreign investors are becoming more active in property acquisitions, and we are also seeing increased sales of large-scale real estate and rising sales prices due to increased competition among buyers. Furthermore, with increasing number of inbound tourists from abroad, we are seeing improvement in the occupancy rate and average daily rate of hotels and Japanese inns. In the condominium market, we are seeing weakening signs of sales of new condominium units following the consumption tax hike that went into effect in April 2014.
Segment revenues decreased 10% to ¥182,321 million compared to ¥203,382 million in the previous fiscal year due primarily to decrease in rental revenues, which are included in operating leases revenues and finance revenues, which decreased in line with the decreased asset balance, and decrease in sales of real estate due to decreased number of condominiums sold. On the other hand, gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, which are included in operating leases revenues, and services income both increased. The increase in services income was due primarily to solid performance by the facility operation business and increased fees from asset management.
- 4 -
Segment expenses remained at almost the same level compared to the previous fiscal year with a decrease in the cost of real estate sold offset by an increase in write-downs of long-lived assets.
As a result of the foregoing, segment profits decreased 81% to ¥3,484 million compared to ¥17,956 million during the previous fiscal year.
Segment assets decreased 13% to ¥835,386 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in investment in operating leases which resulted from sales of rental properties.

Investment and Operation Segment: Environment and energy-related business, principal investment, and loan servicing (asset recovery)
In the Japanese environment and energy-related business, even though the government is reassessing the renewable energy purchase program, the significance of renewable energy in the mid-long term is on the rise, with investment targets expanding beyond solar power generation projects to include wind and geothermal power generation projects. In the capital markets, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 marked the fifth consecutive year of increase in the number of initial public offerings. This favorable capital markets environment has continued into this fiscal year.
Segment revenues increased 181% to ¥666,120 million compared to ¥236,879 million during the previous fiscal year due to increases in services income and sales of goods and real estate contributed by newly acquired subsidiaries, environment and energy-related business, and consolidation of DAIKYO.
Segment expenses also increased compared to the previous fiscal year due to increase in expenses in connection with newly acquired subsidiaries, DAIKYO, and environment and energy-related business.
Meanwhile, because we recognized a valuation gain in connection with DAIKYO becoming a consolidated subsidiary from an equity method affiliate during the previous fiscal year, segment profits decreased 56% to ¥42,414 million from ¥95,786 million during the previous fiscal year.
Segment assets increased 20% to ¥660,014 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due primarily to an increase in property under facility operations contributed by the newly acquired subsidiaries and environment and energy-related business, and an increase in inventories of DAIKYO, offsetting a decrease in installment loans in the loan servicing business.

Retail Segment: Life insurance, banking and card loan business
Although the life insurance business is being affected by macroeconomic factors such as domestic population decline, we are seeing increasing numbers of companies developing new products in response to the rising demand for medical insurance. In the consumer finance sector, loan demand is increasing due to improved consumer confidence resulting from Japans economic recovery, and consumer finance providers are enhancing their marketing activities accordingly.
Segment revenues increased 101% to ¥425,977 million compared to ¥211,612 million during the previous fiscal year due to recognition of a gain on sale of shares of Monex Group Inc. and an increase in revenues resulting from the acquisition of HLIKK on July 1, 2014. In addition, an increase in finance revenues in the banking business and an increase in revenues driven by growth in the number of policies in force in the life insurance business also contributed to higher segment revenues.
Segment expenses increased compared to the previous fiscal year due primarily to an increase in insurance related expenses in connection with the consolidation of HLIKK, in addition to an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
In addition to the foregoing, with a bargain purchase gain resulting from the acquisition of HLIKK, segment profits increased 142% to ¥120,616 million compared to ¥49,871 million during the previous fiscal year.
Segment assets increased 71% to ¥3,700,635 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of an increase in investment in securities being held by HLIKK, in addition to an increase in assets in the banking business.

While the world economy is now on the course of recovery, thanks to solid economic growth in the United States and other countries, protracted low growth rate of European economies, economic deterioration of resource exporting countries due to the sharp decline of oil prices, and downward revision of Chinas economic growth rate target are continuing to create uneven economic landscapes among different economies.
Segment revenues increased 36% to ¥561,893 million compared to ¥412,157 million during the previous fiscal year due primarily to an increase in services income resulting from greater fee revenues contributed by business operation in the United States and by the asset management business of Robeco, which we acquired on July 1, 2013.
Segment expenses increased compared to the previous fiscal year due primarily to an increase in expenses from asset management business of Robeco, in addition to an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
In addition to the foregoing, we recognized a gain on sale of partial shares of STX Energy Co., Ltd. (presently GS E&R Corp., hereinafter, STX Energy), which as a result of the sale became an equity method affiliate from a consolidated subsidiary. Segment profits increased 49% to ¥104,143 million compared to ¥69,688 million during the previous fiscal year.
Segment assets increased 10% to ¥2,178,895 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due primarily to increases in installment loans and investment in securities in the United States offsetting a decrease in property under facility operations due to sale of partial shares of STX Energy, which as a result of the sale became an equity method affiliate from a consolidated subsidiary.

Note 1: | Shareholders Equity refers to ORIX Corporation Shareholders Equity based on US-GAAP. Shareholders Equity Per Share is calculated using total ORIX Corporation Shareholders Equity. |
Total assets increased 26% to ¥11,443,628 million compared to ¥9,066,961 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. Investment in securities and other assets increased primarily in conjunction with the acquisition of HLIKK. In addition, installment loans increased primarily in the United States. Meanwhile, investment in operating leases decreased due to sales of rental properties and aircraft. Segment assets increased 26% compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥9,170,249 million.
We manage the balance of interest-bearing liabilities at an appropriate level taking into account the condition of assets and liquidity on-hand as well as the domestic and overseas financial environment. As a result, long-term debt and deposits increased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. In addition, policy liabilities and policy account balances for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts increased in connection with the consolidation of HLIKK.
Shareholders equity increased 12% to ¥2,152,198 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year primarily due to an increase in retained earnings.

Summary of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥9,479 million to ¥827,518 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥257,611 million during the fiscal year, down from ¥478,006 million during the previous fiscal year due primarily to a net decrease in policy liabilities and policy account balances resulting from the consolidation of HLIKK, which were partially offset by a higher net income recorded compare to the previous fiscal year.
Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥467,801 million during the fiscal year, up from ¥215,314 million during the previous fiscal year. This change was primarily due to an increase in installment loans made to customers, purchase of property under facility operations, and a decrease in principal collected on installment loans.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were ¥213,432 million during the fiscal year compared to the outflow of ¥277,704 million during the previous fiscal year. This change was primarily due to an increase in long-term debt funding which also resulted a decrease in debt repayment.

(3) Profit Distribution Policy and Dividends for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015 and the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2016
ORIX aims to increase shareholder value by utilizing the profits earned from business activities that were secured primarily as retained earnings, by strengthening its business foundation and investing for growth. At the same time, ORIX expects to make steady and sustainable distribution of dividends that reflect its business performance.
Based on this basic policy, the annual dividend is raised to 36 yen per share from 23 yen per share in the previous fiscal year.
In share buyback decisions, ORIX will take into account the adequate level of retained earnings and act flexibly by considering factors such as changes in the business environment, trend in stock prices, and the companys financial condition.
For the next fiscal year that ends on March 31, 2016, emphasis is placed upon the optimal balance between securing capital for investment in future profit growth and return to the shareholders. Furthermore, dividend distribution is scheduled twice a year with an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The interim dividend for the next fiscal year is projected at 22 yen per share. The year-end dividend for the next fiscal year is to be determined.

(3) Medium-Term Management Targets
ORIX continues to provide innovative and flexible solutions to address changes in the market environment and needs. ORIXs diversified business portfolio consists of six business segments: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail, and Overseas Business. These business segments are closely integrated with each other to create greater value through sharing know-how and expertise.
ORIX, using its diversified business portfolio as basis, intends to capitalize on its business foundation, client base, industry know-how and accumulated expertise, to continuously improve profitability by providing high value-added services to the market. Furthermore, under our mid-term strategy of Expansion in Non-Finance Business, ORIX aims to achieve sustainable profit growth.
Our strategy of Expansion in Non-Finance Business consists of Organic growth and Investment in key areas. With these principles, we will pursue new business opportunities arising from the changing business environment.
| Organic growth: Deepen our strength and expertise to further expand our automobile-related business in Japan and abroad, to develop new peripheral businesses based on Yayois business platform, further diversify our overseas business portfolios, and expand our life insurance business. |
| Investment in key areas: Position asset turnover as an important strategy and continue to pursue new investment opportunities in key areas identified as environment and energy-related business, network in Asia, asset management, and principal investment. In conjunction with the new investments, we will also pursue divestments of low-profitability and low-growth assets. |
(4) Corporate Challenges to be Addressed
It is vital for ORIX to continue to maintain and develop a business structure that flexibly and swiftly adapts to the changing business environment. ORIX will take the following three steps in order to achieve the aforementioned mid-term management targets.
1. | Further advancement of risk management |
2. | Pursue transactions that are both socially responsible and economically viable |
3. | Create a fulfilling workplace |
1. | Further advancement of risk management: Fortify ORIXs growth-supporting risk management foundation by enhancing the expertise necessary to manage risk, and further refining the ability to discern good risks from bad ones. |
2. | Pursue transactions that are both socially responsible and economically viable: Pursue transactions that are socially responsible from a social and environmental standpoint while providing products and services that are valued by clients and improve ORIX profitability. |
3. | Create a fulfilling workplace: Focus on ORIXs strengths as a global organization to create a fulfilling work environment for all employees regardless of nationality, age, gender, background or type of employment. |
3. Consideration in the Selection of Accounting Standard
We have been adopting U.S. GAAP as the accounting standard that most appropriately reflects our business activities in our financial reporting.
Adopting U.S. GAAP in our financial reporting also enables us to maintain consistency and comparability with past financial results and we believe that is beneficial for our stakeholders.

Note 1: | The Company evaluates the performance of segments based on income before income taxes and discontinued operations, adjusted for results of discontinued operations, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests before applicable tax effect. Tax expenses are not included in segment profits. | |
Note 2: | For certain VIEs that are used for securitization and are consolidated in accordance with ASC 810-10 (Consolidations), for which the VIEs assets can be used only to settle related obligations of those VIEs and the creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to other assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, segment assets are measured based on the amount of the Company and its subsidiaries net investments in the VIEs, which is different from the amount of total assets of the VIEs, and accordingly, segment revenues are also measured at a net amount representing the revenues earned on the net investments in the VIEs. Certain gains or losses related to assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs, which are not ultimately attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries, are excluded from segment profits. | |
Note 3: | From the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, inter-segment transactions have been included in segment revenues, and eliminations of inter-segment transactions have been included in difference between segment total and consolidated amounts.

Significant Accounting Policies
(Application of New Accounting Standards)
In April 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an EntityASC 205 (Presentation of Financial Statements) and ASC 360 (Property, Plant, and Equipment)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to report a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if it represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries early adopted this Update on April 1, 2014. In accordance with this Update, the Company and its subsidiaries report a disposal of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift which has (or will have) a major effect on the company and its subsidiaries operations and financial results when the component or group of components is disposed by sale or classified as held for sale on or after April 1, 2014.
This Update does not apply to a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries which have previously been reported in the financial statements. Accordingly, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to report gains on sales and the results of operations of subsidiaries and business units, which was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014, as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in accordance with ASC 205-20 prior to the early adoption of the amendments.
(Change of Accounting Policies)
A lag period of up to three months is used on a consistent basis for recognizing the results of certain subsidiaries and affiliates. Since its acquisition on February 27, 2014, the Company had been consolidating DAIKYO on a lag basis. In order to reflect DAIKYOs financial position and results of operations and cash flows in the Companys consolidated financial statements in a concurrent manner, the Company eliminated the lag period and has aligned the fiscal year end of DAIKYO with the Companys fiscal year end of March 31 during the year ended March 31, 2015.
Because the elimination of a lag period represents a change in accounting principle, the Company retrospectively adjusted the previous years consolidated financial statements for the effects of the lag accounting.
Subsequent Events
There are no material subsequent events.
