Nomura Reports Second Quarter, Half-Year Financial Results
Nomura Holdings, Inc. (“Nomura”) today announced financial results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. In the three months to September 30, 2005, net revenue grew 33% quarter-on-quarter to 382.2 billion yen. Income before income taxes increased 283% to 117.6 billion yen and net income jumped 632% quarter-on-quarter to 60.9 billion yen. Second quarter ROE was 13.1%.
The marked improvement in quarterly performance comes on the back of a recovery in Global Markets revenue and growth in Domestic Retail revenue, spurred on by continued strong demand for investment trusts and higher stock brokerage commissions.
“We saw a strong recovery in performance during the second quarter,” said Nobuyuki Koga, Nomura President and CEO. “Not content with this, we are redoubling our efforts to continue boosting revenue and expanding the mix of our customer base”
Second quarter business and financial highlights
| • | 117.6 billion yen in income before income taxes, second highest level since Nomura started reporting quarterly results based on US GAAP in fiscal year ended March 2002. |
| • | Domestic Retail: 101.4 billion yen in net revenue and 41.4 billion yen in income before income taxes, both record levels since start of quarterly reporting. Achieved Domestic Retail client asset target of 50 trillion yen eighteen months ahead of schedule. |
| • | Global Markets: Revenue rebounded due to improved trading environment. Held seminars to introduce the resurgent Japanese stock market to investors around the world. |
| • | Global Investment Banking: 13.1 billion yen in M&A/financial advisory fees (April to September), highest half-year figure since year ended March 2002. Ranked number one in 2005 (January to September) Equity & Equity-related and M&A league tables1. |
| • | Asset Management: Nomura Asset Management’s global balanced fund selected by Japan Post as one of the three funds it started distributing earlier this month. |

Second quarter results by business segment
Nomura’s business segment total net revenue grew 28% compared to the first quarter to 219.8 billion yen, while income before income taxes increased 118% to 81.5 billion yen. These figures exclude the effects of consolidation/deconsolidation of certain private equity investee companies and unrealized gain on investments in equity securities held for relationship purposes.
Domestic Retail
A recovery in stock brokerage commissions and strong demand for investment trusts helped push net revenue up 20% quarter-on-quarter to 101.4 billion yen and income before income taxes up 37% to 41.4 billion yen. Both results mark record levels since Nomura started reporting on a quarterly basis.
Second quarter stock brokerage commissions grew 66% from the first quarter to 34.6 billion yen. Investment trust commissions, meanwhile, totalled 20.9 billion yen, the second consecutive quarter of record levels since quarterly disclosure started.
Domestic Retail client assets stood at 51.7 trillion yen as of September 30, up 5.2 trillion yen from the end of June. This growth during the second quarter allowed Domestic Retail to beat its target of attaining 50 trillion yen in client assets by March 2007 eighteen months ahead of schedule.
Global Markets
Income before income taxes in Global Markets rebounded to 31.5 billion yen, up from a loss of 700 million yen in the first quarter. The return to positive territory comes on the back of an improvement in the fixed income trading environment and a steady increase in equity order flow, especially from overseas investors. Nomura also gained traction in key areas such as its loan-related business, which handled some 210 billion yen in loans during the second quarter.
Global Investment Banking
An increase in equity financing steered income before income taxes to 9.1 billion yen, a jump of 320% compared to the prior quarter. A global offering by Central Japan Railway and J-REIT deals contributed to a recovery in stock underwriting commissions. Nomura booked 13.1 billion yen in M&A and financial advisory fees for the six months to September, the highest half-year level since the year ended March 2002.
Nomura ranked number one in the 2005 (January to September) Equity & Equity-related (Japan) and M&A league tables (any Japanese involvement)1.
Global Merchant Banking
Global Merchant Banking booked 4.7 billion yen in income before income taxes, recovering from a 5.9 billion yen loss in the first quarter, due mainly to realized gains and unrealized gains/losses on private equity investments.
Asset Management
Total assets under management increased during the second quarter as funds offering frequent distributions and newly launched funds continued to grow. As a result, Asset Management income before income taxes increased 20% quarter-on-quarter to 4 billion yen.
Table of Contents
As of September 30, assets under management totalled 20 trillion yen, an increase of 1.2 trillion yen from the end of June. Assets under management in funds sold exclusively though banks grew to 212 billion yen at the end of September, up 62% from June 30.
Nomura Asset Management’s global balanced fund was selected by Japan Post as one of the funds it started distributing earlier this month.
Financial results for half-year ended September 2005
For the six months through September, net revenue increased 80% from the same period last year to 669 billion yen, income before income taxes grew 67% to 148.3 billion yen, and net income was up 57% at 69.2 billion yen. The year-on-year gains are partly attributable to the consolidation of Millennium Retailing, an investee company of Nomura Principal Finance. ROE for the six months through September was 7.4%.
Business segment total net revenue for the six month period was 391.2 billion yen, an increase of 15% over the same period last year. Business segment total income before income taxes increased 33% to 118.9 billion yen.
Domestic Retail led overall performance during the first half of the year, underpinned by the stock-market rally and growth in client assets due to strong demand for investment trusts. Domestic Retail first-half income before income taxes increased 65% year-on-year to 71.7 billion yen, the highest half-yearly level since the year ended March 2002.
