NHI has been assigned as a Final Designated Parent Company who must calculate a consolidated capital adequacy ratio according to the “Establishment of standards on sufficiency of capital stock of a final designated parent company and its subsidiary entities, etc. compared to the assets held thereby” (2010 FSA Regulatory Notice No. 130; “Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company”).

Since its designation as a Final Designated Parent Company in April 2011, NHI has been calculating its consolidated capital adequacy ratio according to the Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company and, from the end of March 2013, according to a Basel III-based consolidated capital adequacy ratio.

On December 1, 2025, Nomura completed the acquisition of all equity interests in Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc., Macquarie Investment Management Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., and Macquarie Investment Management Holdings (Austria) GmbH (collectively, “Acquired Companies”), pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into on April 22, 2025 (the “Macquarie Acquisition”). Upon completion, Nomura acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Companies for a total cash consideration of approximately $1.8 billion (equivalent to approximately ¥281.4 billion, based on an exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar = ¥156.35 as of December 1, 2025). As of May 7, 2026, the purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments which are not expected to have a material impact on the provisional purchase price allocation. Nomura has determined that a substantial portion of the provisional purchase price allocation was made to intangible assets and goodwill. As a result, these companies have become consolidated subsidiaries of Nomura with effect from December 1, 2025, and their results of operations and KPIs are included in the Investment Management figures disclosed under this Results of operation subsection and the following KPIs subsection beginning on such date.

Net revenue increased from ¥192.5 billion for the year ended March 31, 2025 to ¥258.5 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to an increase in Business revenue including a result of the consolidation of the businesses acquired in the Macquarie Acquisition. Non-interest expenses were ¥170.2 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, an increase over the same period in the previous year as a result of expenses attributable to the Acquired Companies, amortization of intangible assets related to the acquired business and one-time acquisition-related costs. As a result, income before income taxes was ¥88.3 billion.
