CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS, CONVENTIONS AND

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

As used in this annual report, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” and “ORIX” refer to ORIX Corporation, and “ORIX Group,” “Group,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

In this annual report, “subsidiary” and “subsidiaries” refer to consolidated subsidiaries of ORIX, generally companies in which ORIX owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock and exercises effective control over the companies’ operations; and “affiliate” and “affiliates” refer to all of our affiliates accounted for by the equity method, generally companies in which ORIX has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operations by way of 20-50% ownership of the outstanding voting stock or other means.

 

The consolidated financial statements of ORIX have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For certain entities where we hold majority voting interests but noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights to decisions that occur as part of the ordinary course of the business, the equity method is applied pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-25-2 to 14 (“Consolidation—The Effect of Noncontrolling Rights on Consolidation”). In addition, the consolidated financial statements also include variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company and its subsidiaries are primary beneficiaries pursuant to ASC 810 (“Consolidation”). Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, all amounts in such financial statements are expressed in Japanese yen.

 

References in this annual report to “\” or “yen” are to Japanese yen and references to “US$,” “$” or “dollars” are to United States dollars.

 

Certain monetary amounts and percentage data included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments for the convenience of the reader. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in tables may not be equal to the arithmetic sums of the figures that precede them.

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 is referred to throughout this annual report as “fiscal 2014,” and other fiscal years are referred to in a corresponding manner. References to years not specified as being fiscal years are to calendar years.

 

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of shares of its common stock and amended its unit share system such that one hundred shares constitutes one unit. The total number of authorized shares of ORIX’s common stock increased from 259,000,000 shares to 2,590,000,000 shares, and the total number of shares of ORIX’s common stock issued increased from 124,871,476 shares to 1,248,714,760 shares. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs (which may be evidenced by one or more American Depositary Receipts or “ADRs”) to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per 1 ADS to 5 underlying shares per 1 ADS. Unless indicated otherwise, numbers of Shares of ORIX’s common stock, per Share information for ORIX’s common stock, for example historical dividend information, and ORIX’s ADS information in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split effective on April 1, 2013.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This annual report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When included in this annual report, the words “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and similar expressions, among others, identify forward looking statements. Such statements, which include, but are not limited to, statements contained in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors,” “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” Our business activities, financial condition and results of operations and the trading prices of our securities could be adversely affected by any of the factors discussed below or other factors. This annual report also contains forward-looking statements that involve uncertainties. Our actual results could differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this annual report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Forward-looking statements in this section are made only as of the filing date of this annual report.

 

1. Risks Related to our External Environment

 

(1) Protracted global economic weakness and instability could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Our business is affected by general economic conditions and financial conditions in Japan and in various foreign countries. Although steady growth in the global economy is anticipated due in part to economic upturn in developed countries, particularly the United States, downside risks, such as decelerating growth in emerging economies, still remain. In the United States, the Quantitative Easing Program (QE3) is on a tapering trend. However, we expect the United States to continue to lead the global economy, maintaining stable growth with

recovery in the employment market, increasing housing demand, and increasing consumer spending. In Asia, while China is in the process of shifting the emphasis of its economic policy away from high growth and toward stable growth, other emerging economies are expected to see increases in investments with a focus on high growth, due in part to economic resurgence among developed countries. In Japan, consumer spending and housing investment are expected to decrease in reaction to the consumption tax hike that went into effect on April 1, 2014. However, we anticipate steady recovery of the Japanese economy due to monetary easing and various economic measures by the Bank of Japan and the Abe administration, coupled with stable levels of employment.

 

Despite our attempts to minimize risks that are affected by an unstable economic climate through, for example, improving risk management procedures, future instability in the global economy could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(2) We may lose market share or suffer reduced profitability as a result of competition based on pricing and other terms

 

We compete on the basis of pricing, transaction structure, service quality and other terms. If our competitors seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing and other terms without regard to profitability, we may lose market share. Similarly, some of our competitors are larger than we are, can access capital at a lower cost than we can and are better able to maintain profits at reduced prices. If we try to match aggressive terms offered by competitors, our profitability may decline.

 

(3) Negative rumors could affect our business activities, financial condition, results of operations and share price

 

Our business depends upon the confidence of customers and market participants. Negative rumors about our activities, our industries or parties with whom we do business could harm our reputation and diminish confidence in our business. If we suffer reputational damage as a result of any rumors, we may lose customers or business opportunities, which could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition, and results of operations, and our share price could decline.

 

(4) Our business may be adversely affected by economic fluctuations and political disturbances

 

We conduct business operations in Japan as well as in the United States, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Europe. Our operations in the United States, Asia and Oceania are especially large. One of our mid-term management strategies is “Embracing growth in emerging markets including Asia.” While we anticipate growth in Greater China, we are taking a cautious approach, taking into consideration the downside risks of the Chinese economy. In addition, we plan to pursue further expansion in Europe. Shifts in commodity market prices and consumer demand, political instability or religious strife in these and other regions could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(5) Our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by unpredictable events

 

Our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by unpredictable events or any continuing effects caused by such events. Unpredictable events include man-made events, such as accidents, war, terrorism and insurgency, and natural events, such as earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, fires and outbreaks of new strains of influenza or other infectious diseases. If any such event occurs, it may, among other things, cause unexpectedly large market price movements or an unexpected deterioration of economic conditions in a country or region. If such a sudden and unpredictable event occurs, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected as a result.

(6) Dispositions of Shares may adversely affect market prices for our Shares

 

As of June 24, 2014, four of our shareholders have filed large shareholder reports pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (“FIEA”) indicating at the time of its filing beneficial ownership, as that term is used in the FIEA, by the relevant shareholder of more than five percent of the total number of our outstanding Shares. Our shareholders may, for strategic, investment or other reasons, decide to reduce their shareholdings in ORIX. Dispositions of Shares, particularly dispositions of large numbers of Shares by major shareholders, may adversely affect market prices for our Shares. For information on major shareholders, see “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

 

A large portion of our Shares is held by investors outside Japan. Due to changes in the global economy or political conditions, investors outside Japan have at times reduced their investments in Japanese stocks. Further or renewed reduction in Japanese stock investment by such investors may adversely affect market prices for our Shares.

 

2. Credit Risk

 

(1) Our allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses may be insufficient and our credit-related costs might increase

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses. However, we cannot be sure that the allowance will be adequate to cover future credit losses. This allowance may be inadequate due to unexpected adverse changes in the Japanese and overseas economies in which we operate, or deterioration in the conditions of specific customers, industries or markets.

 

We are constantly striving to improve our portfolio management, however, we may be required to make additional provisions in the future depending on the economic trends.

 

To enhance our collections from debtors, we may forbear from exercising some or all of our rights as a creditor against companies that are unable to fulfill their repayment obligations. We may also forgive loans or extend additional loans to such companies. Furthermore, if, due to adverse economic or market conditions, the value of underlying collateral and guarantees declines, our credit-related costs might increase. If we need to increase our allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses, or if our credit-related costs increase to cover these changes or events, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

3. Business Risk

 

(1) We are exposed to risks from our diverse and expanding range of products and services, acquisitions of companies and assets, and entry into joint ventures and alliances

 

We are expanding the range of our businesses in Japan and overseas. Such expansion may expose us to new and complex risks that we may be unable to fully control or foresee, and, as a result, we may incur unexpected and potentially substantial costs or losses. In addition, we may not achieve targeted results if business opportunities do not develop or increase as expected or if competitive pressures undermine profitability.

 

As part of our business expansion, we may acquire companies or businesses. If the results of operations of an acquired company or business are lower than what we expected at the time we made such acquisition, we could be required to make large write-downs of goodwill or other assets.

 

From time to time we also enter into joint ventures and other alliances, and the success of these alliances is often dependent upon the financial and legal stability of our counterparties. If an alliance suffers a decline in financial condition or is subject to operational instability because of a change in applicable laws or regulations, we may be required to pay in additional capital, reduce our investment at a loss, or terminate the alliance.

Table of Contents

The contribution from our consolidated subsidiaries and equity method affiliates to our consolidated results of operations is an important component of our income. There can be no assurance that this contribution will be maintained. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will continue to identify attractive investment opportunities, or that investments will be as profitable as we originally expected.

 

Our subsidiaries and affiliates have a wide range of business operations, including operations that are very different from our financial services business. If we fail to manage our investee companies effectively, we may experience financial losses as well as losses of future business opportunities. In addition, we may not be able to sell or otherwise dispose of investments at times or prices we initially expected or at all. We may also need to provide financial support, including credit support or equity investments, to some investee companies if their financial condition deteriorates.

 

If any such events occur, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(2) We are exposed to risks related to asset and collateral value volatility

 

We invest in ships, aircraft, real estate and other assets in Japan and overseas. The market values of our investments are volatile and may decline substantially in the future.

 

Valuation losses of our assets are recorded based on end-of-period fair market values in accordance with applicable accounting principles. However, losses from the sale of these assets, including as a result of a sudden need for liquidity, may exceed the amount of recorded valuation losses.

 

We estimate the residual value for operating leases at the time of contract. Our estimates of the residual value of equipment are based on current market values of used equipment and assumptions about when and to what extent the equipment will become obsolete; however, we may need to recognize additional valuation losses if our estimates differ from actual trends in equipment valuation and the secondhand market, and we may incur losses if we are unable to collect such estimated residual amounts.

 

We acquire collateral including real estate properties when we provide installment loans. If the value of this collateral decreases as a result of changes in market conditions, the expected collectable amount from the relevant loans may decrease and the provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses may increase accordingly.

 

In such event, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(3) Risks related to our other businesses

 

We operate a wide range of diversified businesses in Japan and overseas, including financial services business. Entry into these businesses, and the results of operations following such entry, are accompanied by various uncertainties, and if any unanticipated risk does eventuate, this may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

4. Market Risk

 

(1) Changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates could adversely affect our assets and our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Our business activities are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates in Japan and overseas. Although we conduct asset-liability management (“ALM”), changes in the yield curve could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

7


Table of Contents

When fund procurement costs increase due to actual or perceived increases in market interest rates, financing lease terms and loan interest rates for new transactions may diverge from the trend in market interest rates.

 

Changes in market interest rates could have an adverse effect on the credit quality of our assets and our asset structure. For example, with respect to floating-rate loan assets, if market interest rates increase, the repayment burdens of our customers may also increase, which could adversely affect the financial condition of such customers and their ability to repay their obligations to us. Alternatively, a decline in interest rates could result in increased prepayments of loans and a decrease in our assets.

 

We do not perfectly hedge all of the currency risks that arise from business operations in foreign currencies and overseas investments. As a result, a significant change in interest rates or currency exchange rates could have an adverse impact on our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(2) Our use of derivatives may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

We use derivative instruments to reduce investment portfolio price fluctuations and manage interest rate and currency risk. However, we may not be able to successfully manage these risks through the use of derivatives. Furthermore our derivatives counterparties could fail to honor the terms of their contracts with us. We also may be unable to enter into derivative transactions if our credit ratings are downgraded.

 

We may also suffer losses from trading activities, a part of which includes the use of derivative instruments. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our use of derivatives may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

(3) Fluctuations in market prices of stocks and bonds may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

We hold investments in shares of private and public company stock, including shares of our equity method affiliates, and bonds, in Japan and overseas. The market values of our investment assets are volatile and may decline substantially in the future. A significant decline in the value of our investment assets could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

5. Liquidity Risk (Risk Relating to Fund Procurement)

 

(1) Our access to liquidity and capital may be restricted by economic conditions, instability in the financial markets or changes in our credit ratings

 

Our primary sources of funds from financing activities include: borrowings from banks and other institutional lenders, funding from capital markets (such as offerings of commercial paper (“CP”), straight bonds and medium-term notes, asset-backed securities and other debt securities) and deposits. Such sources include a significant amount of short-term debt, such as CP and other short-term borrowings from various institutional lenders, and the portion of our long-term debt maturing in the current fiscal year. Some of our committed credit lines require us to comply with financial covenants.

 

Adverse economic conditions or financial market instability, among other things, may adversely affect our ability to raise new funds or to renew existing funding sources, may subject us to increased funding costs or credit market volatility or may cause a decline in demand for our securities. If our access to liquidity is restricted, or if we are unable to obtain our required funding at acceptable costs, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be significantly and adversely affected.

 

8


Table of Contents

We obtain credit ratings from ratings agencies. Downgrades of our credit ratings could result in increases in our interest expenses and could have an adverse effect on our fund-raising ability by increasing costs of issuing CP and corporate debt securities, decreasing investor demand for our securities, increasing our bank borrowing costs or reducing the amount of bank credit available to us. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be significantly and adversely affected.

 

6. Legal Risk

 

(1) Enactment of, or changes in, laws, regulations and accounting standards may affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Enactment of, or changes in, laws and regulations may affect the way that we conduct our business, the products or services that we may offer, as well as our customers, borrowers, invested companies and funding sources. Such enactment or changes may cause our costs to increase, or if relating to accounting standards, may significantly affect how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations, even if our underlying business fundamentals remain the same. As a result of such enactment or changes, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

(2) A failure to maintain adequate controls to comply with regulations may harm our reputation and adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations

 

Our business and employees in Japan are subject to laws, as well as regulatory oversight by government authorities who implement those laws, relating to the various fields in which we operate. These include laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions, such as the Moneylending Business Act, the Installment Sales Act, the Insurance Business Act, the Banking Act, the Trust Business Act, the Building Lots and Buildings Transaction Business Act and the Building Standards Act, as well as general laws applicable to our business activities, such as the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade and the Act on the Protection of Personal Information.

 

Our businesses outside of Japan are also subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate and are subject to oversight by the regulatory authorities of those jurisdictions. For example, in addition to being subject to U.S. securities laws, we are also subject to the USA Patriot Act, which prohibits us from entering into any transactions with countries listed as state sponsors of terrorism, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits us from offering bribes to foreign public servants.

 

Certain of our businesses are subject to industry-specific laws and regulations requiring, among other things, that each company conduct independent operations and maintain financial soundness and appropriateness of business activities. A total or partial suspension of operations or the revocation of one or more of our licenses may adversely affect our business activities, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our effort to implement thorough internal controls for compliance and legal risk management to prevent violations of applicable laws and regulations, may not be fully effective in preventing all violations. In addition, we engage in a wide range of businesses, and our expansion into new businesses through acquisitions may require us to revise or cause our current internal controls to cease to function adequately. In such cases, we may be subject to sanctions or penalties, which could apply to our officers or employees, if we fail to revise them properly or at all. Such events could adversely affect our business activities, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

 

Regardless of whether we have violated any laws, if we become the subject of a governmental investigation, litigation or other proceeding in connection with our businesses, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

7. Operational Risk

 

(1) Failures in our computer and other information systems could interfere with our operations and damage our business activities, financial condition and result of operations

 

We use information systems for financial transactions, personal information management, business monitoring and processing and as part of our business decision-making and risk management activities. Some of these information systems may be outsourced.

 

System shutdowns, malfunctions or failures, the mishandling of data or fraudulent acts by employees, vendors or other third parties, or infection by a computer virus, could have adverse effects on our operations, for example by causing delay in the receipt and payment of funds, the leak or destruction of confidential or personal information, the generation of errors in information used for business decision-making and risk management and the suspension of other services provided to our customers. In such event, our liquidity or the liquidity of customers who rely on us for financing or payment could be adversely affected.

 

Our information system equipment could suffer damage from a large-scale natural disaster or from terrorism, such as hacking or other unauthorized access. If networks or information systems fail, we could experience interruption of business activity, delay in the receipt and payment of funds, or substantial costs for recovery of functionality. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(2) We may not be able to hire or retain qualified personnel

 

Our businesses require a considerable investment in human resources and the retention of qualified personnel in order to successfully compete in markets in Japan and overseas. If we cannot develop, hire or retain the necessary qualified personnel, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(3) If our internal controls over financial reporting are insufficient, our share price, reputation and business activities may be adversely affected

 

We have established and assessed our internal controls over financial reporting in a manner intended to ensure compliance with the requirements of various laws and regulations. However, in future periods we or our independent registered public accounting firm may identify material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, such finding may cause us or our accountants to disclose that our internal controls over financial reporting are ineffective, which could cause a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and cause our share price to fall. In any such case, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

(4) Our risk management may not be effective

 

We continuously seek to improve our risk management function. However, due to the rapid expansion of our business or significant changes in the business environment, our risk management may not be effective in some cases. As a result, our business activities, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

(5) Other operational risks

 

Our business entails many types of operational risk. Examples include inappropriate sales practices; inadequate handling of client and customer complaints; inadequate internal communication of necessary information; misconduct of officers, employees, agents, franchisees, trading associates, vendors or other third parties; errors in the settlement of accounts and conflicts with employees concerning labor and workplace management.

 

10


Table of Contents

Our management attempts to control operational risk and maintain it at a level that we believe is appropriate. Notwithstanding our control measures, operational risk is part of the business environment in which we operate, and our business activities, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected at any time due to this risk. Even if we do not incur direct pecuniary loss, our reputation may be adversely affected.

 

8. Risks Related to Holding or Trading our Shares and ADRs

 

(1) Rights of shareholders under Japanese law may be different from those under the laws of other jurisdictions

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, the regulations of our board of directors and the Companies Act govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles relating to matters such as the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duties and shareholders’ rights are different from those that would apply if we were incorporated elsewhere. Shareholders’ rights under Japanese law are different in some respects from shareholders’ rights under the laws of jurisdictions within the United States and other countries. You may have more difficulty in asserting your rights as a shareholder than you would as a shareholder of a corporation organized in a jurisdiction outside Japan. For a detailed discussion of the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and our Articles of Incorporation, see “Item 10. Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation.”

 

(2) It may not be possible for investors to affect service of process within the United States upon ORIX or ORIX’s directors or executive officers, or to enforce against ORIX or those persons judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States

 

ORIX is a joint stock company incorporated in Japan. Most or all of ORIX’s directors and executive officers are residents of countries other than the United States. Although some of ORIX’s subsidiaries have substantial assets in the United States, substantially all of ORIX’s assets and the assets of ORIX’s directors and executive officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to affect service of process within the United States upon ORIX or ORIX’s directors and executive officers or to enforce against ORIX or those persons, in U.S. courts, judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws. ORIX has been advised by its Japanese counsel that there is doubt, in original actions or in actions to enforce judgments of U.S. courts, as to the enforceability in Japan of civil liabilities based solely on U.S. securities laws. A Japanese court may refuse to allow an original action based on U.S. securities laws.

 

The United States and Japan do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitration awards, in civil or commercial matters. Therefore, if you obtain a civil judgment by a U.S. court, you will not necessarily be able to enforce such judgment directly in Japan.

 

(3) We expect to be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors

 

We believe that we will be a passive foreign investment company under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code for the year to which this report relates and for the foreseeable future because of the composition of our assets and the nature of our income. Assuming this is the case, U.S. investors in our Shares or ADSs will be subject to special rules of taxation in respect of certain dividends or gains on such Shares or ADSs, including the treatment of gains realized on the disposition of, and certain dividends received on, the Shares or ADSs as ordinary income earned pro rata over a U.S. investor’s holding period for such Shares or ADSs, taxed at the maximum rate applicable during the years in which such income is treated as earned, and subject to interest charges for a deemed deferral benefit. In addition, the favorable rates of tax applicable to certain dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. investors would not be available. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Taxation.” Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the income tax consequences of investing in our Shares or ADSs.

 

11


Table of Contents

(4) If you hold fewer than 100 Shares, you will not have all the rights of shareholders with 100 or more Shares

 

One “unit” of our Shares is comprised of one hundred Shares. Each unit of the Shares has one vote. A holder who owns Shares other than in multiples of one hundred will own less than a whole unit (i.e., for the portion constituting of fewer than one hundred Shares.) The Companies Act imposes significant restrictions on the rights of holders of shares constituting less than a whole unit, which include restrictions on the right to vote. Under the unit share system, a holder of Shares constituting less than a unit has the right to require ORIX to purchase its Shares and the right to require ORIX to sell it additional Shares to create a whole unit. However, a holder of ADRs is not permitted to withdraw underlying Shares representing less than one unit, which is equivalent to 20 ADSs, and, as a practical matter, is unable to require ORIX to purchase those underlying Shares. The unit share system, however, does not affect the transferability of ADSs, which may be transferred in lots of any number of whole ADSs.

 

(5) Foreign exchange fluctuations may affect the value of our securities and dividends

 

Market prices for our ADSs may decline if the value of the yen declines against the dollar. In addition, the dollar amount of cash dividends or other cash payments made to holders of ADSs will decline if the value of the yen declines against the dollar.

 

(6) A holder of ADRs has fewer rights than a shareholder and must act through the depositary to exercise those rights

 

The rights of shareholders under Japanese law to take various actions, including voting shares, receiving dividends and distributions, bringing derivative actions, examining a company’s accounting books and records and exercising dissenters’ rights, are available only to holders of record on a company’s register of shareholders. The Shares represented by our ADSs are registered in the name of a nominee of the depositary, through its custodian agent. Only the depositary is able to exercise those rights in connection with the deposited Shares. The depositary will make efforts to vote the Shares represented by our ADSs as instructed by the holders of the ADRs representing such ADSs and will pay to those holders the dividends and distributions collected from us. However, a holder of ADRs will not be able to directly bring a derivative action, examine our accounting books and exercise dissenters’ rights through the depositary unless the depositary specifically undertakes to exercise those rights and is indemnified to its satisfaction by the holder for doing so.

CORPORATE HISTORY

 

ORIX was established on April 17, 1964 in Osaka, Japan as Orient Leasing Co., Ltd. by three trading companies and five banks that included Nichimen Corporation, Nissho Corporation and Iwai Corporation (presently Sojitz Corporation), the Sanwa Bank (presently The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), Toyo Trust & Banking (presently Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation), the Industrial Bank of Japan and Nippon Kangyo Bank (presently Mizuho Bank, Ltd.), and the Bank of Kobe (presently Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation).

Table of Contents

Our initial development occurred during the period of sustained economic growth in Japan during the 1960s and the early 1970s. We capitalized on the growing demand in this period by expanding our portfolio of leasing assets.

 

During this time, our marketing strategy shifted from a focus on using the established networks of the trading companies and other initial shareholders to one that concentrated on independent marketing as the number of our branches expanded. In April 1970, we listed our Shares on the second section of the Osaka Securities Exchange. Since February 1973, our Shares have been listed on the first sections of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange (which was integrated into Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2013). ORIX was also listed on the first section of the Nagoya Stock Exchange from February 1973 to October 2004.

 

ORIX set up a number of specialized leasing companies to tap new market potential, starting with the establishment of Orient Auto Leasing Corporation (presently ORIX Auto Corporation) in 1973 and Orient Instrument Rentals Corporation (presently ORIX Rentec Corporation), Japan’s first electric measuring equipment rental company, in 1976. With the establishment of the credit company Family Consumer Credit Corporation (presently ORIX Credit Corporation, concentrating on card loans) in 1979, ORIX began to move into the retail market by offering financing services to individuals.

 

It was also during this time that ORIX began expanding overseas, commencing with the establishment of its first overseas office in Hong Kong in 1971, followed by Singapore (1972), Malaysia (1973), Indonesia (1975), the Philippines (1977) and Thailand (1978).

 

In the 1980s and early 1990s, ORIX established offices in Sri Lanka (1980), the United States (1981), Australia (1986), Pakistan (1986) and Taiwan (1991). The Japanese company Budget Rent-a-Car (presently ORIX Auto Corporation) was also established in 1985.

 

In 1989, we introduced a corporate identity program and changed our name to ORIX Corporation from Orient Leasing Co., Ltd. to reflect our increasingly international profile and diversification into financial services other than leasing.

 

In 1991 ORIX established ORIX Aviation Systems Limited in Ireland. In the same year, ORIX established ORIX Omaha Life Insurance Corporation (presently ORIX Life Insurance Corporation) and entered the life insurance business. In 1998 ORIX purchased Yamaichi Trust & Bank, Ltd. (presently ORIX Bank Corporation). In 1998, ORIX listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ticker Symbol: IX) and, through registration with the SEC, has worked to further strengthen its corporate governance regulations. ORIX Real Estate Corporation was established in 1999 to concentrate on condominium development that was first begun in 1993 as well as develop office buildings in pursuit of improved real estate expertise. In 1999 we established ORIX Asset Management and Loan Services Corporation.

 

Since 2000, we have actively expanded our automobile-related operations by acquiring companies and assets. We combined seven automobile-related companies into ORIX Auto Corporation in 2005.

 

We have also continued our overseas expansion. In China, we established a rental company in Tianjin in 2004 and in 2005 established a leasing company in Shanghai. In 2009, we established a Chinese Headquarters in Dalian. We also set up local subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia (2001), the United Arab Emirates (2002) and Kazakhstan (2005).

 

In 2006, we entered the investment banking field in the United States with the acquisition of Houlihan Lokey Inc. (“Houlihan Lokey”). In 2010, we acquired RED Capital Group, a U.S.-based company that provides financing for multi-family, senior living and healthcare-related real estate development projects in the United States. In 2010, we also acquired Mariner Investment Group LLC, a leading independent SEC-registered hedge fund manager.

Table of Contents

We managed ORIX Credit Corporation (“ORIX Credit”) over a continuous three-year period jointly with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation pursuant to an alliance established in July 2009. In June 2012, ORIX purchased all the shares of ORIX Credit, making ORIX Credit a wholly-owned subsidiary of ORIX.

 

In July 2013, ORIX acquired Robeco Groep N.V. (“Robeco”), a global asset management company based in the Netherlands, to pursue a new business model by combining finance with related services.

 

STRATEGY

 

Target Performance Indicators

 

In its pursuit of sustainable growth, ORIX Group uses the following performance indicators: Net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders to indicate profitability, ROE to indicate capital efficiency and ROA to indicate asset efficiency. ORIX aims to steadily achieve 10% ROE by increasing asset efficiency through quality asset expansion to capture business opportunities and to increase capital efficiency by strengthening profit-earning opportunities such as fee-based businesses.

 

Three-year trends in performance indicators are as follows.

Medium- and Long-Term Corporate Management Strategies

 

ORIX Group believes that it is vital to respond to changes in the market environment with agility and flexibility. ORIX Group consists of six business segments (Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail, and Overseas Business) representing a wide range of businesses, ORIX controls Group-wide risk through this diversified business portfolio. At the same time, ORIX aims to secure profits and business opportunities through the complementary nature of its diversified portfolio.

 

From a funding standpoint, ORIX continues to maintain a stable financial base characterized by high percentage of long-term debt from various funding sources that include borrowings from financial institutions and issuance of bonds in various markets, and ORIX Bank Corporation (“ORIX Bank”) deposits.

 

ORIX will continue pursuing its medium-term management strategies of accelerating “Finance + Services” and “Embracing growth in emerging markets including Asia” while focusing on expanding operations through business portfolio diversification. Additionally, by committing to “new pillars of business to pursue medium- to long-term growth” ORIX aims to challenge new business opportunities arising from the changing environment.

leasing, and asset management businesses. ORIX Group will capitalize on its accumulated Group client base, know-how and expertise to develop new business areas and provide more advanced services.

 

   

“Embracing growth in emerging markets including Asia”: In Asia’s emerging economies, while China is in the process of shifting the emphasis of its economic policy away from high growth toward stable growth, other emerging Asian economies are expected to see increases in investments with a focus on high growth, due in part to economic resurgence among developed countries. ORIX Group will embrace growth in these countries by expanding operations through capitalizing on its local subsidiaries and the partner networks it has established in emerging markets including Asia in addition to leveraging its successful investment track record.

 

   

“Establishing new pillars of business to pursue medium- to long-term growth”: Business environment and customers’ needs are constantly changing, and even with existing businesses, ORIX believes that it is capable of capturing new profit-generating opportunities by modifying its existing business model. At the same time, ORIX will continue to provide products and services valued by customers and society by creating new pillars of business that will support future growth through Group-wide collaboration that transcends business divisions.

 

Evolution of Corporate Culture Underpinning the Management Strategies

 

It is vital for ORIX Group to continue maintaining and developing a business structure that flexibly and swiftly adapts to a changing operating environment. ORIX will take the following three steps in order to execute our “medium- and long-term corporate management strategies.”

 

  1. Further advance risk management. Implement thorough and transparent monitoring and control of risks, which take into account characteristics of each business and the changing environment it operates in, and promote medium-term management strategies. ORIX will also continue to maintain financial stability.

 

  2. Pursue transactions that are both socially responsible and economically viable. Pursue transactions that are socially responsible from compliance and environmental standpoints while providing products and services that are valued by clients and that improve ORIX Group’s profitability.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

ORIX organizes its businesses into six segments to facilitate strategy formulation, resource allocation and portfolio balancing at the segment level. These six business segments are: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail and Overseas Business. Management believes that organizing our business into large, strategic units allows us to maximize our corporate value by identifying and cultivating strategic advantages vis-à-vis anticipated competitors in each area and by helping ORIX Group achieve competitive advantage.

 

An overview of operations, operating environment and operating strategy for each of the six segments follows.

 

Corporate Financial Services

 

Overview of Operation

 

Operating through a nationwide network, ORIX provides leasing and loans and other products and services to its core customer base of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”). The Corporate Financial Services segment functions as the central point of contact for the entire ORIX Group by gathering information on customers and products/services and responding to customer needs, including in connection with business succession and overseas expansion.

 

This segment has its origin in the leasing business developed at the time of ORIX’s establishment in 1964. Even today, this segment serves as the foundation for the entire ORIX Group’s sales activities.

 

This segment promotes consolidated management by target sharing with other business segments and Group companies, both domestic and foreign. In this way, this segment creates cross-functional tie ups with Group customers in order to swiftly provide wide-ranging services backed by expertise.

 

Operating Environment

 

In Japan, despite concerns over the impact of the consumption tax hike that went into effect on April 1, 2014, we have seen a steady increase in capital expenditures as corporate sentiment grew positive due to improvement in corporate revenues. We have also seen an increase in lending by financial institutions to SMEs in addition to large corporations. Going forward we anticipate an increase in capital expenditures by corporations capitalizing on the favorable financing environment.

 

On the other hand, due to the suspended operation of Japan’s nuclear power stations since the Great East Japan Earthquake, corporate business activities have been impacted by electricity supply constraints and an increase in the cost of electricity. Nevertheless, the number of domestic corporate bankruptcies decreased for the fifth consecutive fiscal year thanks to sustained financial support by financial institutions, even after the expiration of the SME Financing Facilitation Act, and a decrease in bankruptcies in the construction and real estate industries, owing to an increase in public works projects associated with reconstruction following the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the selection of Tokyo as the host city of 2020 Olympics and Paralympics.

 

Overview of Business Strategies

 

   

Expand the customer base through strengthened cooperation with group companies

 

   

Accumulate small-sized quality assets

 

   

Expand fee revenues by capturing environment and energy-related demands

Table of Contents

Operating Strategy

 

Through various transactions, sales personnel in the Corporate Financial Services segment deepen their understanding of the segment’s customers, including their specific needs and management issues. With this segment constituting ORIX’s sales platform, sales personnel develop and deliver optimum solutions to customers by leveraging the high-level expertise of the Group’s business segments to expand the Group’s business opportunities. We seek to enhance the profitability of the Group as a whole by expanding the customer base through stronger cooperation with Group companies and by accumulating small-sized quality assets. Moreover, we seek to increase revenues from fee business by providing products and services aligned with customer needs to accelerate the pace of its “Finance + Services” strategy.

 

This segment promotes consolidated management by sharing business targets with other business segments and Group companies, both domestic and foreign, particularly ORIX Auto Corporation and ORIX Rentec Corporation. By promoting consolidated management, we seek to strengthen customer relations so that the customers of our Group companies including the customers of ORIX Auto Corporation will also become customers for other products and services offered by the Group.

 

The launch of solar panel sales has enabled the Corporate Financial Services segment to generate new customer relationships. This segment endeavors to expand transactions not only with customers who actually purchased solar panels but with all potential customers to whom it marketed solar panels by continuing to offer solutions to management issues, which lead to sales of the Group’s products and services. In addition to sales of solar panels, this segment seeks to develop new businesses and services in order to expand the Group’s customer base and build a more stable revenue base.

 

Maintenance Leasing

 

Overview of Operation

 

The Maintenance Leasing segment consists of ORIX’s automobile and rental operations, both of which possess a high level of expertise.

 

In its automobile leasing business, ORIX engages in leasing, automobile rental and car sharing businesses. Automobile leasing operations began by offering leases including maintenance to corporate clients. Today, the segment’s services include a complete range of vehicle maintenance outsourcing services requiring high-level expertise that encompasses solutions that meet clients’ compliance, environmental and safety management needs. This segment also offers a broad spectrum of tailor-made services that address both corporate and individual client needs.

 

Having initially specialized in precision measuring equipment rentals for corporate customers, the rental business has greatly expanded the range of products it offers and currently includes IT-related equipment and medical equipment, environmental analysis equipment as well as tablet computers. The rental business also offers a diverse range of services such as technical support, sales of software packages, equipment calibration and asset management.

 

Operating Environment

 

In Japan, despite concerns over the impact of the consumption tax hike that went into effect on April 1, 2014, we are seeing a steady increase in capital expenditures as corporate sentiment grew positive due to improvement in corporate revenues. Furthermore, demand for automobile leasing and truck rentals is expected to rise due to the government’s plan for a large-scale public investment program. The weakening of the yen has helped increase tourism in Japan, resulting in greater demand for automobile rentals.

Table of Contents

Companies’ needs for services related to compliance, safety management, and reduction of environmental impact are increasing together with a continued emphasis on reducing vehicle maintenance and administrative costs. Reflecting the change in individuals’ perception of vehicles, there is a shift in consumption behavior from ownership to usage and sharing, and as a result, demand for car rental and car sharing services is rising.

 

The precision measuring equipment rental market in Japan is not expected to expand substantially, although there have been signs of a return of domestic manufacturing capacity in the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, the competitive landscape remains relatively stable owing to the high barriers to entry arising from substantial up-front investment and the difficulty of securing specialist personnel with the requisite expertise.

 

In the IT-related equipment field, the market for cloud computing services continues to grow, and there are signs of a shift in corporate IT investment from hardware ownership to service use. Whereas the PC market will likely remain flat over the medium term, the tablet market is expected to grow significantly.

 

Overview of Business Strategies

 

   

Continue Group-wide sales activities

 

   

Expand high value-added services

 

   

Further expand market share and develop new markets

 

Operating Strategy

 

The automobile business aims to increase its leased assets to reinforce and expand its customer base. In Japan, while the leasing rate of vehicle fleets for enterprises that own more than 30 vehicles is relatively high, it is very low for enterprises and individuals that own 30 vehicles or fewer. On the other hand, these smaller enterprises and individuals account for a large proportion of the vehicles owned in Japan. Therefore, the automobile business will strive to increase the proportion of the customer base consisting of smaller enterprises and individuals while continuing to grow the large-enterprises customer base.

 

The automobile business is strengthening the provision of high value-added services. Seeking to ensure a stable revenue stream and differentiate itself from competitors, the automobile business leverages its consulting capabilities to select and offer optimum services to the customer from a wide range of vehicle management services. While continually reviewing the line-up of products and services in response to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs, the automobile business develops new products and services to create new market segments.

 

The integration of our automobile rental operations, which had been operating under three brands, completed in April 2013. We seek to strengthen our brand, expand our network of outlets and provide high quality services to our customers. In our car sharing business, we will continue working to increase membership and improve customer convenience by optimizing the deployment of stations and vehicles.

 

In the equipment rental business, while working to maintain high market share, we intend to expand and strengthen our revenue base by increasing the number of new customers by focusing on growth areas, increasing rental of high margin products and introducing new rental items. We will also expand our customer base and range of products in the fields of environment and energy, environmental analysis, electronic components and next-generation automobile development and promote medical equipment rentals that require a high level of expertise and other high value-added rentals by providing applications and cloud services designed to meet the needs of customers renting tablets. We will seek tie-ups with manufacturers and system companies in order to expand our products and services.

 

All of our businesses in the Maintenance Leasing segment will continue to strengthen business management and cost control to maintain high profitability and competitiveness.

Real Estate

 

Overview of Operation

 

The Real Estate segment is mainly comprised of the real estate development and rental business and the facilities operating business.

 

In the real estate development and rental business, ORIX Group is involved in the development and leasing of properties (including office buildings, commercial properties, logistics centers and residential condominiums), asset management and real estate finance. Together with this comprehensive value chain, the Group boasts significant specialist expertise in each aspect of real estate.

 

The operation and development of a diverse portfolio of properties including hotels, Japanese inns, aquariums, golf courses, training facilities, nursing care facilities, baseball stadiums and theaters are an integral part of the facilities operating business.

 

Operating Environment

 

As the Bank of Japan’s monetary easing policy ripples out to the real economy, the real estate market has been recovering. Following the selection of Tokyo as the host of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, Japan’s real estate market have attracted renewed interest, and there have been signs that overseas investors are resuming investment in Japanese real estate.

 

In the market for office buildings, vacancy rates have trended downward as the supply of new office buildings has slowed, and there have been indications that the decline in rents has bottomed out, such as rising office rents in Tokyo. In the J-REIT market, property acquisition have been increasing through initial public offerings and public offerings. The market has shown signs of rising sales prices with increased competition to acquire properties, and has produced several large-scale real estate deals.

 

In the condominium market, the contract completion rate in each of the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas remains above the key benchmark level of 70%. Although demand is projected to fall in the wake of the consumption tax rate hike that went into effect on April 1, 2014, condominium sales are expected to remain robust.

 

The facilities operation business is expected to continue performing strongly, supported by a favorable business environment. Notably, consumer spending is increasing in step with domestic economic recovery and the number of inbound tourists surpassed 10 million for the first time in 2013. On the other hand, intensifying price-based competition is making the operating capabilities of each individual facility increasingly important.

 

Overview of Business Strategies

 

   

Turn over assets while taking advantage of the favorable business environment, and promote joint investment

 

   

Strengthen the facilities operation business

 

   

Expand fee business by enhancing the asset management business

 

Operating Strategy

 

In the real estate development and rental business, we aim to establish a revenue structure that can adapt to and leverage fluctuations of asset prices and rents in the real estate market by promoting fee revenues and capturing income gain on disposal of assets. To expand fee business, we will leverage the strength of the Real Estate segment’s comprehensive value chain, including leasing, asset management, finance and ORIX Group’s

customer base. For example, not only will joint investment with foreign investors allow us to acquire a high-quality portfolio while minimizing the investment burden, the Real Estate segment’s value chain will be deployed to maximum advantage to earn fees at every opportunity from property acquisition to asset management during the investment phase and from sales when exiting the investment.

 

In the facilities operation business, we will review our portfolio and secure new facilities, seeking to improve profitability. At the same time, we will improve service to ensure that ORIX delivers customer satisfaction that translates into repeat customers. In order to add value unique to ORIX facilities, we will promote personnel training and development.

 

Investment and Operation

 

Overview of Operation

 

In the Investment and Operation business segment, ORIX is engaged in three core business activities: environment and energy-related business, principal investments and loan servicing.

 

For more than ten years, ORIX has been actively involved in the environment and energy-related business through the collection and disposal of waste generated from end-of-lease assets. In addition to waste disposal and recycling and other energy saving measures, ORIX is also actively involved in operations relating to renewable energy sources such as megasolar (large-scale solar energy projects) and rooftop power generation.

 

The principal investment business invests in private equity both in Japan and overseas and capitalizes on the expertise and collective strength of the Group to increase the corporate value of investees.

 

The loan servicing business invests in non-performing loans, collects and manages commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and engages in joint operations of business rehabilitation support companies through capital alliances with financial institutions.

 

Operating Environment

 

In the environment and energy-business, increase in electricity prices by power companies and electricity shortages resulting from the suspension of Japan’s nuclear reactors has increased the demand for electricity-saving measures and home power generation. The introduction of the feed-in-tariff program has promoted the spread of renewable energy, and, in particular, has spurred the introduction of solar power generation facilities. However, as the feed-in-tariff program will be reviewed annually, it will be necessary to monitor its development. Overseas, especially in Asia, economic growth is accelerating demand for energy. We expect this increase will continue.

 

In the M&A market, we expect increased demand for investment, finance and advisory services in line with increases in cross-border transactions by Japanese businesses, as well as corporate restructuring, privatization of subsidiaries and business succession planning in SMEs.

 

In the non-performing loan market, domestic financial institutions were expected to liquidate their non-performing loans following the expiration of the SME Finance Facilitation Act at the end of March 2013. However, these financial institutions have not taken such liquidation measures to date, and there have been only a few investment opportunities.

 

Overview of Business Strategies

 

   

Invest in the environment and energy field, and expand business operation such as megasolar projects

 

   

Expand principal investment both domestically and overseas

 

   

Pursue new profit opportunities capitalizing on loan servicing expertise

 

20


Table of Contents

Operating Strategy

 

In our environment and energy business, we will increase investment in renewable energy. We will promote cooperation between the domestic sales division and the rooftop power generation business throughout Japan and also advance the megasolar business in which ORIX has become a power generation operator. In addition to solar power, we are also entering into other renewable energy businesses such as wind power and geothermal.

 

Overseas, mainly in Asia, we are developing operations in both energy services businesses such as ESCO (Energy Service Company) and power generation businesses with the goal of becoming an independent energy services provider. To enter the business, we are investing in existing energy services providers.

 

Furthermore, in Japan, with the reform of the electric power system, we anticipate the full liberalization of electricity retailing, the implementation of the separation of electrical power production from power distribution and transmission and the removal of price restrictions. We will capture business opportunities in a wide variety of situations, including the restarting of electrical power retail operations, which were suspended after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the securing of stable electrical power transmission for the electricity sources we develop, facilitating the transparency of electricity usage and providing energy services for the home, such as the rental of storage batteries.

 

In the principal investment business, we will leverage our track record to carefully select and actively invest in foreign and domestic business operations. After investing, we will provide hands-on support backed by specialists, use the sales platform of the Group to develop a base of customers and business partners and implement other measures to improve the corporate value of investees in a manner unique to ORIX. We will seek opportunistic investments without limiting the industries we invest in. In Japan, we emphasize domestic investment in medical-related fields, IT services and the food industry. Overseas, we are focused on Asia and the Middle East, and are also looking at regions we have yet to enter, targeting the financial service industry.

 

In the areas of loan servicing and non-performing loan investment, we will perform service contract and debt acquisition to capture each financial institution’s unique needs and circumstances, such as industry realignment. In addition, we will continue to pursue profit-generating opportunities, leveraging our loan servicing experience and expertise in the areas of management support (e.g., business succession, business rehabilitation), operation of corporate rehabilitation funds together with financial institution. We also enter into joint operations with business rehabilitation support companies through capital alliances.

 

Retail

 

Overview of Operation

 

The Retail business segment consists of life insurance business, banking business and card loan business.

 

ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life Insurance”) was founded in 1991 and operates mainly through agencies and mail order sales. Regarding the banking business, ORIX Bank inherited the housing loan business ORIX began handling in 1980 and is now involved in corporate lending and other services. ORIX Bank began card loan operations in March 2012.

 

ORIX Credit is a card loan provider established in 1979. For approximately three years from July 2009, ORIX Credit was managed as a joint venture with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation before being re-consolidated as a wholly owned subsidiary of ORIX Group following the purchase of all of ORIX Credit’s shares in June 2012.

 

ORIX Bank and ORIX Credit have been consolidating management to actively expand their card loan operations.

 

21


Table of Contents

Operating Environment

 

In the domestic life insurance market, current trends include a shift toward small-lot individual insurance, an increase in the number of insurance policies and a decrease in total insurance in force. The demand for traditional life insurance remains sluggish, and the demand for so called “third sector” insurance such as medical insurance, which until now had shown steady growth, is showing signs of a slowdown. Meanwhile, the sales channels for insurance products continue to diversify to include bank, Internet and direct shop sales. In the investment environment, buoyant stock prices have eliminated the negative spreads of major life insurance companies, prompting moves by some of these life insurance companies to pay out policyholder dividends and reduce premiums.

 

In the banking industry, loan balances are increasing, and the range of borrowers is expanding from major corporations to include SMEs. Meanwhile, loan interest rates are declining due to intensified competition. Furthermore, capital expenditure is anticipated to increase based on the larger loan amounts. Capital demand by individual investors investing in rental condominiums continues to grow, and has remained robust.

 

In the card loan market, due to a reduction of the maximum permissible interest rates under the Act of Regulation of Receiving of Capital Subscription, Debt and Interest Rates, etc. and the introduction of restrictions on the allowable volume of loans, there has been a rapid decrease in loan balances and the number of loan providers. However, there are signs that the reduction in loan balances has bottomed out, and that banks are beginning to expand their individual unsecured loan lending activities.

 

Overview of Business Strategies

 

   

Develop distinctive new products and enhance the agency network in life insurance business

 

   

Expand card loan business via the consolidated management of ORIX Bank and ORIX Credit

 

Operating Strategy

 

In this segment, as an overall strategy, we will continue to provide products with a high level of customer satisfaction and develop new markets aimed at individual customers and the corporate loan customers while continuing to enhance our efficiency and unique expertise in niche markets.

 

ORIX Life Insurance will continue to enhance its products lineup with new insurance products developed to meet customer needs. In addition to “third sector” medical and cancer insurance, it will focus on sales of “first sector” products such as life insurance and aim to increase the number of policies in force. In addition, it will seek to widen its sales channels by expanding its network of agents and using mail order sales. It will also seek to improve its financial strength by improving business efficiency.

 

ORIX Bank has focused on corporate deposits and “e-Direct Deposits”, Internet-based fixed deposit accounts aimed at individual customers, and at the end of March 2014, ORIX Bank’s deposit balance (including negotiable deposits) reached more than ¥1.2 trillion. In the housing loan business, ORIX Bank will increase its loan balance by leveraging its know-how and network that it has developed over the years. Through its financing operation of housing loans and corporate lending, ORIX Bank will continue to differentiate itself from other banks by continuing to establish a profitable and balanced portfolio and expanding its transactions with SMEs by offering consulting services that leverage the collective strength of the Group.

 

To capture latent demand in the much-reduced market, the card loan business is planning expansion in two ways—first, by expanding our card loan balances mainly through ORIX Bank by capitalizing on ORIX Credit’s know-how and personnel; and second, by expanding our card loan guarantee to other financial institutions using ORIX Credit’s assessment know-how.

Overseas Business

 

Overview of Operation

 

In the Overseas Business segment, in the United States, asset management is at the heart of efforts to expand “Finance + Services” boasting a high level of expertise in the fields of corporate finance, securities investment, M&A advisory, loan structuring and servicing and also fund management.

 

Since first expanding into Hong Kong in 1971, ORIX Group has established an overseas network spanning 398 bases in 35 countries and regions. Underpinned by a leasing, automobile leasing and corporate finance operating base that is aligned with the conditions of each country, the Overseas Business segment engages in real estate-related investments, principal investment and non-performing loan investment activities which are complemented by ship and aircraft leasing, management, investment, intermediary and sales activities.

 

Furthermore, the Overseas Business segment conducts asset management operations for individual and corporate clients through Robeco, a Dutch asset manager that became a consolidated subsidiary of ORIX Group in July 2013.

 

Operating Environment

 

In the United States, the Quantitative Easing Program (QE3) is on a tapering trend. However, we expect the United States to continue to lead the global economy, and to maintain stable growth with recovery in the employment market, increase in housing demand, and increase in consumer consumption.

 

In Asia, while China is in the process of shifting the emphasis of its economic policy away from high growth and toward stable growth, other emerging economies are expected to see increases in investments with a focus on high growth, due in part to economic resurgence among developed countries.

 

In the airline industry, despite lingering uncertainty within the global economy, the travel market continues to grow. Although in Europe the airline industry performance is still struggling, in Asia and the US the industry has gradually recovered. The flow of capital into the aircraft leasing market is continuing.

 

In the shipping industry, there are still no signs of recovery and from the continued unbalanced demand, new investment will be considered on a wait and see basis.

 

Overview of Business Strategies

 

   

Continue to strengthen “Finance + Services” based on high level of expertise in the United States

 

   

Expansion of leasing business and new investment centered on Asia

 

   

Accumulate quality assets in the ship- and aircraft-related business

 

   

Expand Robeco’s assets under management (“AUM”)

 

Operating Strategy

 

In the United States, in addition to maintaining a stable presence in our traditional business of investing in municipal bonds, CMBS and other fixed-income securities and providing corporate finance services, we seek to enhance our fee business by leveraging the high-level of expertise of Houlihan Lokey’s M&A advisory and business evaluation services, Red Capital Group’s loan structuring and servicing services and Mariner Investment Group’s fund management services. In addition, we plan to expand into the field of investment banking, structured finance and asset management through capital participation and M&A in Latin America via our Brazilian subsidiary established September 2012.

Table of Contents

In Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Europe, while seeking to maintain stable profits from the financial services business platform of our existing local subsidiaries, which offer locally based lending and leasing, we plan to diversify our business into related fields. We will embrace growth in Asia’s developing economies by promoting new investment activities in as-yet unexplored areas.

 

In the aircraft business, we will proceed to carefully select the type of aircraft for our portfolio and make new investments. In addition to pursuing opportunities to profit from Company-owned assets, we will seek to generate fees selling aircraft to investors and retaining management of the aircraft.

 

Furthermore, we will work to expand Robeco’s assets under management, in an effort to increase ORIX Group’s overall stable earnings base, and to upgrade and enlarge its global business platform.

 

DIVISIONS, MAJOR SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES

 

A list of major subsidiaries can be found in Exhibit 8.1.

 

CAPITAL PRINCIPAL EXPENDITURES AND DIVESTITURES

 

We are a financial services company with significant leasing, lending, real estate development and other operations based on investment in tangible assets. As such, we are continually acquiring and developing such assets as part of our business. A detailed discussion of these activities is presented elsewhere in this annual report, including in other parts of “Item 4. Information on the Company” and in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”

 

In general, we seek to expand and deepen our product and service offerings and enhance our financial performance through acquisitions of businesses or assets. We continually review acquisition opportunities, and selectively pursue such opportunities. We have in the past deployed a significant amount of capital for acquisition activities and expect to continue to make investments, on a selective basis. For a discussion of certain of our past acquisitions, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Corporate History.”

 

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Because our main business is to provide diverse financial services to our clients, we do not own any material factories or facilities that manufacture products. We have no plans to build any factories that manufacture products.

BUSINESS REGULATION

 

ORIX and its group companies in Japan are incorporated under, and our corporate activities are governed by, the Companies Act. However, ORIX and its group companies are involved in diverse businesses in overseas jurisdictions, including in Asia, North America, Middle East and Europe, and are therefore subject to various regulations and supervision in each jurisdiction in which they operate, including, but not limited to, regulations relating to business and investment approvals, antitrust, anti-bribery, consumer and business taxation, foreign exchange controls, intellectual property and personal information protection.

The next section describes the laws and regulations of our business in Japan and the United States, our largest area of operation outside Japan.

 

JAPAN

 

There is no general regulatory regime which governs the conduct of our direct financing lease and operating lease businesses in Japan, although various laws regulate certain aspects of particular lease transactions, depending on the type of leased property.

 

The major regulations that govern our businesses are as follows:

 

Moneylending Business

 

ORIX and certain of our group companies are engaged in the moneylending business in Japan. The moneylending business is regulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Act, the Acceptance of Contributions Law, the Deposit Interest Law and the Moneylending Business Act. The Moneylending Business Act requires that all companies engaged in moneylending business register with the Prime Minister and the relevant prefectural governors. Registered moneylenders are regulated by the Financial Services Agency (“FSA”), and are required to report to or notify the FSA, providing specified documents such as their annual business reports. Accordingly, pursuant to the Moneylending Business Act, ORIX and certain of our group companies register with the Prime Minister and various prefectural governors and provide the necessary reporting and notification to the FSA. The FSA has the power to issue business improvement orders to suspend all or part of a business’s activities, or to revoke the registration of a moneylender that has violated the law.

 

Real Estate Business

 

ORIX and certain of our group companies, including ORIX Real Estate Corporation, are engaged in the real estate business in Japan, including buying and selling land and buildings. Companies engaged in such operations are required to be licensed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (“MoLIT”) and relevant prefectural governors under the Building Lots and Buildings Transaction Business Act, and their operations are regulated by such laws, including the maintenance of registered real estate transaction managers on staff and the provision and delivery of material information to counterparties.

 

Car Rental Business

 

ORIX Auto Corporation (“OAC”) is registered with the MoLIT under the Road Transportation Law to engage in the car rental business in Japan and is subject to the requirements of this law and is licensed by the Minister of MoLIT.

 

Insurance Business

 

ORIX Life Insurance is engaged in the life insurance business and has a license from the Prime Minister under the Insurance Business Act. The FSA has broad regulatory powers over the life insurance business of ORIX Life Insurance, including the authority to grant or, under certain conditions, revoke its operating license, to request information regarding its business or financial condition and to conduct on-site inspections. ORIX Life Insurance generally must also receive FSA approval for the sale of new products and to set new pricing terms. In addition, under the Insurance Business Act regulations, any party attempting to acquire voting rights in an insurance company at or above a specified threshold must receive approval from the Prime Minister. We have received such approval as a major shareholder in ORIX Life Insurance. Insurance solicitation, which we and our group companies conduct, is also governed by the Insurance Business Act. We and certain of our group companies, such as OAC, are registered as life insurance agents with the Prime Minister.

Financial Instruments Exchange Business

 

Certain businesses conducted by ORIX and our group companies in Japan are governed by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the main purpose of which is to establish comprehensive and cross-sectional protection for investors. “The financial instruments business” as defined in the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act has four classifications, depending on the type of business; (1) First Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business, (2) Second Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business, (3) Investment Management Business, and (4) Investment Advisory and Agency Business. All companies engaged in such businesses are required to register with the Prime Minister, and thereby are designated “registered financial instruments traders.” Along with registered financial instruments traders, companies engaged in the financial instruments intermediary business, which is also governed by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, are regulated by the FSA and are required to file certain reports or notifications with the FSA. The FSA has the power to order improvement of a business, or suspension of a part or the whole of a business, or to revoke the registration of such a trader that has violated the law. Business regulations applicable to ORIX and our group companies are as follows:

 

(1) First Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business

 

ORIX Whole Sale Securities Corporation (“ORIX Whole Sale”) is registered with the Prime Minister under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The first class financial instruments exchange business includes the trading of highly liquid financial products, such as the sale and solicitation of listed securities. The Financial Instruments and Exchange Act regulates the conduct and business activities of securities companies in connection with securities transactions. In addition, under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, any entity possessing voting rights in a securities company (first class financial instruments trader) or its parent company at or above a specified threshold is considered a major shareholder and must report its shareholding to the Prime Minister. ORIX has filed such a report as a major shareholder of ORIX Whole Sale.

 

(2) Second Class Financial Instruments Exchange Business

 

ORIX and certain of our group companies are registered with the Prime Minister under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to conduct the second class financial instruments exchange business. The second class financial instruments exchange business includes trading of low-liquidity financial instruments, such as the sale and solicitation of trust beneficiary interests and certain equity investments in partnerships.

 

(3) Investment Management Business

 

ORIX Asset Management Corporation (“OAM”), a wholly owned subsidiary, is registered with the Prime Minister under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act as an investment manager. OAM is responsible for the asset management of a real estate investment corporation, ORIX JREIT Inc., which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition, ORIX Real Estate Investment Advisory Corporation (“ORIA”) is registered with the Prime Minister to engage in the investment management business. Under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, any entity possessing voting rights in an investment manager at or above a specified threshold is considered a major shareholder and must report its shareholding to the Prime Minister. ORIX has filed such a report as a major shareholder with regard to OAM.

 

(4) Investment Advisory and Agency Business

 

ORIA is registered with the Prime Minister under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to engage in the investment advisory and agency business.

Table of Contents

(5) Financial Instruments Intermediary Business

 

The financial instruments intermediary business that we conduct is also regulated by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. ORIX is registered with the Prime Minister under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act to conduct business as a financial instruments intermediary.

 

Banking and Trust Business

 

ORIX Bank is licensed by the Prime Minister to engage in the banking and trust business and is regulated under the Banking Act and the Act on Provision, etc. of Trust Business by Financial Institutions. The Banking Act governs the general banking business and the Act on Provision, etc. of Trust Business by Financial Institutions and the Trust Business Act govern the trust business. Our trust contract agency business is also governed by the Trust Business Act, and we are registered with the Prime Minister to engage in the trust contract agency business. In addition, under the Banking Act, any entity that attempts to obtain voting rights in a bank at or above a specified threshold must receive permission from the Prime Minister. ORIX has received such permission as a major shareholder of ORIX Bank.

 

Debt Management and Collection Business

 

ORIX Asset Management & Loan Services Corporation (“OAMLS”) is engaged in the loan servicing business and the business of managing and collecting certain assets. Consequently, OAMLS is regulated under the Act on Special Measures Concerning Business of Management and Collection of Claims. OAMLS is licensed by the Minister of Justice under such law to engage in the loan servicing business.

 

Waste Management

 

ORIX Environmental Resources Management Corporation and ORIX Eco Services Corporation provide waste management services regulated by the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act.

 

ORIX Environmental Resources Management has permission under the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act (i) from the governor of Saitama Prefecture for “the installation of an industrial waste disposal facility” acting as an “industrial waste disposal contractor” and a “specially controlled industrial waste disposal contractor” in “the installation of a municipal solid waste disposal facility” and (ii) from the mayor of Yorii Town to act as a “municipal solid waste disposal contractor.”

 

Also, ORIX Eco Services has permission under the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act: (i) from each governor of Tokyo and six other prefectures in Kanto region to act as a “Collection and Transportation of an industrial waste disposal collector” and (ii) from the mayor of Funabashi City to act as an “Industrial waste disposal contractor.”

 

Regulation on Share Acquisitions

 

Certain activities of ORIX and our group companies are regulated by the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law of Japan and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Foreign Exchange Regulations”).

 

Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, ORIX and certain of our group companies in Japan are regulated as “residents” conducting “capital transactions” or “foreign direct investments.” If foreign shareholders hold 50% or more of ORIX’s shares, ORIX and these group companies will be regulated as “foreign investors” conducting “inward direct investment.”

 

To conduct such activities under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, notices or reports are required to be filed with the governing agency through the Bank of Japan. In certain cases, the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers have the power to recommend the cancellation or modification of the activities specified in such notices and can order the cancellation or modification if the recommendations are not followed.

OUTSIDE JAPAN

 

ORIX USA is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, and its corporate activities are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

The SEC, the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (“FINRA”) and various state agencies regulate the issuance and sale of securities and the activities of broker-dealers, investment companies and investment advisers in the United States. ORIX USA’s majority-owned subsidiaries, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. and Houlihan Lokey Financial Advisors, Inc., are a registered broker-dealer and a registered investment adviser, respectively, and as such, are regulated by the SEC. Similarly, ORIX USA’s majority-owned subsidiary, Mariner Investment Group, LLC (“Mariner”), is a registered investment adviser and has an affiliated limited purpose broker-dealer, Mariner Group Capital Markets, Inc. (“MGCM”). Both Mariner and MGCM are registered and regulated by the SEC. ORIX USA’s majority-owned subsidiary, Red Capital Group, LLC has a subsidiary, Red Capital Markets, LLC, that is registered as a broker-dealer and regulated by the SEC. All of our SEC-registered broker dealers are also regulated by FINRA. ORIX USA and its other subsidiaries are not subject to these regulations but must comply with U.S. federal and state securities laws.

 

ORIX USA’s corporate finance, real estate finance and development, equipment finance, public finance and special servicing businesses are subject to numerous state and federal laws and regulations. Commercial and real estate loans may be governed by the USA Patriot Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B thereunder, the Flood Disaster Protection Act, the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and state usury laws. Real estate transactions are also governed by state real property and foreclosure laws. ORIX USA’s secured finance transactions are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted by the various states. ORIX USA is registered with or has obtained licenses from the various state agencies that regulate the activity of commercial lenders in such states. For example, its consolidated subsidiary ORIX Corporate Capital Inc. is a Delaware Licensed Lender. Another consolidated subsidiary, ORIX Ventures, LLC, is licensed as a California Finance Lender.

 

In May 2010 ORIX USA acquired RED Capital Group, a Columbus, Ohio-headquartered provider of debt and equity capital, as well as advisory services, to the housing, health care and real estate industries. Red Capital Markets, LLC, a subsidiary of RED Capital Group, is registered as a broker-dealer and regulated by the SEC and FINRA. In addition, RED Capital Group and its subsidiaries must comply with rules and regulations administered by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Administration.

 

In December 2010, ORIX USA acquired MIG Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Mariner. Mariner is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor and is headquartered in Harrison, New York, with additional offices in New York City, Boston, London and Tokyo.

 

Disruptions in the U.S. financial markets starting in 2007 caused lawmakers and regulators to evaluate the effectiveness of their oversight of the financial services industry, and eventually resulted in the adoption of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) by the U.S. Congress in January 2010. Certain regulations promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act may affect our business operations. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes the Financial Stability Oversight Counsel (“FSOC”) charged with, among other things, designating systemically important nonbank financial institutions for heightened supervisory requirements and prudential standards, supervision and regulation. In April 2012, the FSOC adopted its final rule and issued interpretive guidelines on criteria for designating systemically important nonbank financial institutions. If the FSOC designates ORIX as a systemically important nonbank financial institution, we could become subject to enhanced requirements regarding capital, leverage, liquidity, conflicts and risk management.

OVERVIEW

 

The following discussion provides management’s explanation of factors and events that have significantly affected our financial condition and results of operations. Also included is management’s assessment of factors and trends which are anticipated to have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations in the future. However, please be advised that our financial condition and results of operations in the future may also be affected by factors other than those discussed here. This discussion should be read in conjunction with “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” and “Item 18. Financial Statements” included in this annual report.

 

Market Environment

 

Although steady growth in the global economy is anticipated due in part to economic upturn in developed countries, particularly the United States, downside risks, such as decelerating growth in emerging economies remain.

 

In the United States, the Quantitative Easing Program (QE3) is on a tapering trend. However, we expect the United States to continue to lead the global economy, and its economy to maintain stable growth with recovery in the employment market, increase in housing demand, and increase in consumer spending.

 

In Asia, while China is in the process of shifting the emphasis of its economic policy away from high growth and toward stable growth, other emerging economies are expected to see increases in investments with a focus on high growth, due in part to economic resurgence among developed countries.

 

In Japan, consumer spending and housing investment are expected to decrease in reaction to the consumption tax hike that went into effect on April 1, 2014. However, we anticipate steady recovery of the Japanese economy due to monetary easing and various economic measures by the Bank of Japan and the Abe administration, coupled with stable levels of employment.

Results Overview

 

Net Income Attributable to ORIX Corporation Shareholders for fiscal 2014 increased 67% to ¥186,794 million compared to fiscal 2013, primarily due to a significant increase in profits from the Real Estate, Investment and Operation and Overseas Business segments, and to robust performance by the Maintenance Leasing and Retail segments.

 

The main factors underlying our performance in fiscal 2014 are outlined below.

 

Compared to fiscal 2013, segment profits increased for all segments except the Corporate Financial Services segment.

 

The Corporate Financial Services segment’s profits decreased due to lower installment loan revenues, in spite of robust direct financing lease revenues.

 

The Maintenance Leasing segment’s profits increased primarily due to an increase in revenues from operating leases.

 

The Real Estate segment’s profits increased due to increases in revenues from the facility operating business and gains on sales of real estate under operating leases.

 

The Investment and Operation segment’s profits increased due to revenue contributions from consolidated subsidiaries acquired during the previous fiscal year and revaluation gain recognized from consolidation of DAIKYO INCORPORATED (hereinafter “DAIKYO”).

 

The Retail segment’s profits increased due to steady growth in life insurance premiums and increased installment loan revenues.

 

The Overseas Business segment’s profits increased due to revenue contributions from the acquisition of Robeco, direct financing leases in Asia and aircraft operating leases.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. Note 1 of “Item 18. Financial Statements” includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events affecting the estimates may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We consider the accounting estimates discussed in this section to be critical for us for two reasons. First, the estimates require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. Second, different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the relevant period, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, a number of significant judgments, assumptions and estimates may be required. If observable market prices are not available, we use internally-developed valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow methodologies, to measure fair value. These valuation techniques involve determination of assumptions that market participants would use in

 

32


Table of Contents

pricing the asset or liability. This determination involves significant judgment, and the use of different assumptions and/or valuation techniques could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Significant assumptions used in measuring fair values have a pervasive effect on various estimates, such as estimates of the allowance for real estate collateral-dependent loans, measurement of impairment of investments in securities, measurement of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization, measurement of impairment of long-lived assets and recurring measurements of loans held for sale, investments in securities and derivative instruments.

 

ASC 820 classifies and prioritizes inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into the following three levels:

 

   

Level 1 — Inputs of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

 

ASC 820 differentiates between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (recurring) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (nonrecurring). We measure mainly loans held for sale, trading securities, available-for-sale securities, other securities and derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. A subsidiary measures certain loans held for sale originated on and after October 1, 2011 and certain fund investments in other securities originated on and after April 1, 2012 at fair value on a recurring basis as it elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”).

As of March 31, 2014, the amount of financial assets classified as Level 3 was ¥92,804 million, among financial assets and liabilities (net) that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 3 assets represent 1% of our total assets.

 

Available-for-sale securities classified as Level 3 are mainly mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, including specified bonds issued by special purpose entities (“SPEs”) in Japan and CMBS and RMBS in the United States. Specified bonds issued by SPEs classified as Level 3 available-for-sale securities were ¥6,772 million as of March 31, 2014, which is 8% of Level 3 available-for-sale securities. CMBS and RMBS in the United States and other asset-backed securities classified as Level 3 available-for-sale securities were ¥65,018 million as of March 31, 2014, which is 77% of Level 3 available-for-sale securities. We classified the specified bonds as Level 3 because we measure their fair value using unobservable inputs. Since the specified bonds do not trade in an open market, no relevant observable market data is available. Accordingly, to measure their fair value we use a discounted cash flow model that incorporates significant unobservable inputs as further discussed below.

 

When evaluating the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan, we estimate the fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate based on market interest rates and a risk premium. The future cash flows for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan are estimated based on contractual principal and interest repayment schedules on each of the specified bonds issued by the SPEs. Since the discount rate is not observable for the specified bonds, we use an internally developed model to estimate a risk premium considering the value of the real estate collateral (which also involves unobservable inputs in many cases when using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies) and the seniority of the bonds. Under the model, we consider the loan-to-value ratio and other relevant available information to reflect both the credit risk and the liquidity risk in our own estimate of the risk premium. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the larger the risk premium we estimate under the model. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan rises when the fair value of the collateral real estate rises and the discount rate declines. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan declines when the fair value of the collateral real estate declines and the discount rate rises.

Table of Contents

With respect to the CMBS and RMBS in the United States, we determined that due to the lack of observable trades for older vintage and below investment grade securities we continue to limit the reliance on independent pricing service vendors and brokers. As a result, we established internally developed pricing models (Level 3 inputs) using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies in order to estimate fair value of these securities and classified them as Level 3. Under the models, we use anticipated cash flows of the security discounted at a risk-adjusted discount rate that incorporates our estimate of credit risk and liquidity risk that a market participant would consider. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or default rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of CMBS and RMBS in the United States.

 

In determining whether a market is active or inactive, we evaluate various factors such as the lack of recent transactions, price quotations that are not based on current information or vary substantially over time or among market makers, a significant increase in implied risk premium, a wide bid-ask spread, significant decline in new issuances, little or no public information (e.g., a principal-to-principal market) and other factors.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES ON DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND PROBABLE LOAN LOSSES

 

The allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The estimate made in determining the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses is a critical accounting estimate for all of our segments.

 

In developing the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses, we consider, among other things, the following factors:

 

   

business characteristics and financial condition of obligors;

 

   

current economic conditions and trends;

 

   

prior charge-off experience;

 

   

current delinquencies and delinquency trends; and

 

   

value of underlying collateral and guarantees.

 

We individually develop the allowance for credit losses for impaired loans. For non-impaired loans, including loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment, and direct financing leases, we evaluate prior charge-off experience, segmented by industry of the debtor and the purpose of the loans, and develop the allowance for credit losses based on such prior charge-off experiences as well as current economic conditions.

 

Impaired loans are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or, if the loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral securing the loan. For a non-recourse loan, in principle, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, as such loan is collateral-dependent. Further, for certain non-recourse loans, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows from each loan. The fair value of the real estate collateral securing the loans is determined using appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as a discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. We generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, we periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in

 

35

situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions that may materially affect its fair value. For impaired purchased loans, we develop the allowance for credit losses based on the difference between the book value and the estimated collectible amount of such loans.

 

We charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal based upon an evaluation of the relevant debtors’ creditworthiness and recoverability from the collateral.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES

 

We recognize write-downs of investment in securities (except securities held for trading) as follows.

 

For available-for-sale securities, we generally recognize losses related to equity securities for which the fair value has been significantly below the acquisition cost (or current carrying value if an adjustment has been made in the past) for more than six months. Also, we charge against income losses related to equity securities in situations where, even though the fair value has not remained significantly below the carrying value for six months, the decline in the fair value of an equity security is based on the issuer’s specific economic conditions and not just general declines in the related market and where it is considered unlikely that the fair value of the equity security will recover within six months.

 

For debt securities, where the fair value is less than the amortized cost, we consider whether those securities are other-than-temporarily impaired using all available information about their collectability. We do not consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if (1) we do not intend to sell the debt security, (2) it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and (3) the present value of estimated cash flows will fully cover the amortized cost of the security. On the other hand, we consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if any of the above mentioned three conditions are not met. When we deem a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired, we recognize the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities if we intend to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. However, if we do not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, we separate the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities into the credit loss component and the non-credit loss component. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes.

 

In assessing whether available-for-sale debt securities are other-than-temporarily impaired, we consider all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including but not limited to the following factors:

 

   

duration and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis;

 

   

continuing analysis of the underlying collateral, age of the collateral, business climate, economic conditions and geographical considerations;

 

   

historical loss rates and past performance of similar assets;

 

   

trends in delinquencies and charge-offs;

 

   

payment structure and subordination levels of the debt security;

 

   

changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and

 

   

subsequent changes in the fair value of the security after the balance sheet date.

 

For other securities, when we determine the decline in value is other than temporary we reduce the carrying value of the security to the fair value and charge against income losses related to these other securities.

 

36


Table of Contents

Determinations of whether a decline in value is other than temporary often involve estimating the outcome of future events that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made. Management’s judgment is required in determining whether factors exist that indicate that an impairment loss should be recognized at any balance sheet date, mainly based on objective factors. In view of the diversity and volume of our shareholdings, the highly volatile equity markets make it difficult to determine whether the declines are other than temporary.

 

If the financial condition of an investee deteriorates, its forecasted performance is not met or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, we may charge against income additional losses on investment in securities.

 

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of investment in securities could affect all segments.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS NOT SUBJECT TO AMORTIZATION

 

We test for impairment of goodwill and any intangible assets that are not subject to amortization at least annually. Additionally, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, we test for impairment when such events or changes occur.

 

Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step impairment test either at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segments. Before a two-step impairment test, we may make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we do not perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. However, if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if we cannot make any conclusion, we perform the two-step impairment test.

 

The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner used to determine the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.

 

Impairment of intangible assets that are not subject to amortization is determined using a quantitative impairment test. Before a quantitative impairment test, we may make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the intangible asset is impaired. If we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, we do not perform the quantitative impairment test for that intangible asset. However, if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount or if we cannot make any conclusion, we perform the quantitative impairment test. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

 

The fair value of a reporting unit under the first step and the second step is determined by estimating the outcome of future events and assumptions made by management. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are used in determining the fair value of any intangible asset that is not subject to amortization. When necessary, we refer to an evaluation by a third party in determining the fair value of a reporting unit; however, such determinations are often made by using discounted cash flows analyses performed by us. This approach uses numerous estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows of a reporting unit, discount rates reflecting the inherent risk and growth rate. If actual cash flows or any items which affect a fair value are less favorable than those projected by management due to economic conditions or our own risk in the reporting unit, we may charge additional losses to income.

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of goodwill and any intangible assets that are not subject to amortization could affect all segments.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

We periodically perform an impairment review for long-lived assets held and used in operation, including tangible assets, intangible assets being amortized and real estate development projects. The assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that those assets might be impaired, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

significant decline in the market value of an asset;

 

   

significant deterioration in the usage range and method, or physical condition, of an asset;

 

   

significant deterioration of legal factors or the business environment, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

 

   

acquisition and construction costs substantially exceeding estimates;

 

   

continued operating loss or actual or potential loss of cash flows; or

 

   

potential loss on sale, having a plan of sale.

 

When we determine that assets might be impaired based upon the existence of one or more of the above factors or other factors, we estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Our estimates of the future cash flows are based upon historical trends adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions. Also, our estimates include the expected future periods in which future cash flows are expected. As a result of the recoverability test, when the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets is less than its carrying amount, and when its fair value is less than its carrying amount, we determine the amount of impairment based on the fair value of those assets.

 

If the asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds fair value. We determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. If actual market and operating conditions under which assets are operated are less favorable than those projected by management, resulting in lower expected future cash flows or shorter expected future periods to generate such cash flows, additional impairment charges may be required. In addition, changes in estimates resulting in lower fair values due to unanticipated changes in business or operating assumptions could adversely affect the valuations of long-lived assets.

 

The accounting estimates relating to impairment of long-lived assets could affect all segments.

 

UNGUARANTEED RESIDUAL VALUE FOR DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND OPERATING LEASES

 

We estimate unguaranteed residual values of leased equipment except real estate, which is explained in “Impairment of Long-lived Assets” described above, when we calculate unearned lease income to be recognized as income over the lease term for direct financing leases and when we calculate depreciation amounts for operating leases that carry inherently higher obsolescence and resale risks. Our estimates are based upon current market values of used equipment and estimates of when and how much equipment will become obsolete, and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment. If actual demand for re-lease or actual market conditions of used equipment is less favorable than that projected by management, write-downs of unguaranteed residual value may be required.

 

The accounting estimates relating to unguaranteed residual value for direct financing leases and operating leases affect mainly the Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing and Overseas Business segments.

INSURANCE POLICY LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

 

A subsidiary of ORIX writes life insurance policies to customers. Liabilities for future policy benefits are established using the net level premium method, based on actuarial estimates of the amount of future policyholder benefits. The policies are characterized as long-duration policies and mainly consist of whole life, term life, endowments and medical insurance. Computation of policy liabilities and reserves necessarily includes assumptions about mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, future yields on related investments and other factors applicable at the time the policies are written. Our life insurance subsidiary continually evaluates the potential for changes in the estimates and assumptions applied in determining policy liabilities, both positive and negative, and uses the results of these evaluations to adjust recorded liabilities as well as underwriting criteria and product offerings. If actual assumption data, such as mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, investment returns and other factors, do not properly reflect future policyholder benefits, we may establish a premium deficiency reserve.

 

ASC 944 (“Financial Services—Insurance”) requires insurance companies to defer certain costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, or deferred policy acquisition costs, and amortize them over the respective policy periods in proportion to anticipated premium revenue. These deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of first-year commissions in excess of recurring policy maintenance costs and expenses for underwriting policies. (for information regarding deferred policy acquisition costs, see Note 1 (af) of “Item 18. Financial Statements”). Periodically, deferred policy acquisition costs are reviewed to determine whether relevant insurance and investment income are expected to recover the unamortized balance of the deferred acquisition costs. When such costs are expected to be unrecoverable, they are charged to income in that period. If the historical data, such as lapse rates, investment returns, mortality experience, morbidity, expense margins and surrender charges, which we use to calculate these assumptions, do not properly reflect future profitability, additional amortization may be required.

 

The accounting estimates relating to insurance policy liabilities and deferred policy acquisition costs affect our Retail segment.

 

ASSESSING HEDGE EFFECTIVENESS AND MEASURING INEFFECTIVENESS

 

We use foreign currency swap agreements, interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts for hedging purposes and apply either fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or net investment hedge accounting to measure and account for subsequent changes in their fair value.

 

To qualify for hedge accounting, details of the hedging relationship are formally documented at the inception of the arrangement, including the risk management objective, hedging strategy, hedged item, specific risks that are to be hedged, the derivative instrument and how effectiveness is being assessed. Derivatives for hedging purposes must be highly effective in offsetting either changes in fair value or cash flows, as appropriate, for the risk being hedged and effectiveness needs to be assessed at the inception of the relationship.

 

Hedge effectiveness is assessed quarterly on a retrospective and prospective basis. Ineffectiveness is also measured quarterly, with the results recognized in earnings. If specified criteria for the assumption of effectiveness are not met at hedge inception or upon quarterly testing, then hedge accounting is discontinued. To assess effectiveness and measure ineffectiveness, we use techniques including regression analysis and the cumulative dollar offset method.

 

The accounting estimates used to assess hedge effectiveness and measure ineffectiveness could affect our Overseas Business segment.

 

PENSION PLANS

 

The determination of our projected benefit obligation and expense for our employee pension benefits is mainly dependent on the size of the employee population, actuarial assumptions, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate used in the accounting.

 

39


Table of Contents

Pension expense is directly related to the number of employees covered by the plans. Increased employment through internal growth or acquisition would result in increased pension expense.

 

In estimating the projected benefit obligation, actuaries make assumptions regarding mortality rates, turnover rates, retirement rates and rates of compensation increase. In accordance with ASC 715 (“Compensation—Retirement Benefits”), actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, affect expense in future periods.

 

We determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets annually based on the composition of the pension asset portfolios and the expected long-term rate of return on these portfolios. The expected long-term rate of return is designed to approximate the long-term rate of return actually earned on the plans’ assets over time to ensure that funds are available to meet the pension obligations that result from the services provided by employees. We use a number of factors to determine the reasonableness of the expected rate of return, including actual historical returns on the asset classes of the plans’ portfolios and independent projections of returns of the various asset classes.

 

We use March 31 as a measurement date for our pension assets and projected benefit obligation balances under all of our material plans. If we were to assume a 1% increase or decrease in the expected long-term rate of return, holding the discount rate and other actuarial assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2014 would decrease or increase, respectively, by approximately ¥1,670 million.

 

Discount rates are used to determine the present value of our future pension obligations. The discount rates are reflective of rates available on long-term, high-quality fixed-income debt instruments with maturities that closely correspond to the timing of defined benefit payments. Discount rates are determined annually on the measurement date.

 

If we were to assume a 1% increase in the discount rate, and keep the expected long-term rate of return and other actuarial assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2014 would decrease by approximately ¥1,672 million. If we were to assume a 1% decrease in the discount rate, and keep other assumptions constant, pension expense for fiscal 2014 would increase by approximately ¥2,206 million.

 

While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our pension accounting are appropriate, differences in actual results or changes in these assumptions or estimates could adversely affect our pension obligations and future expenses.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we make estimates relating to income taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The process involves estimating our actual current income tax position together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for income tax reporting and financial reporting purposes. Such differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood of whether our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that realizability is not more likely than not, we must establish a valuation allowance. When we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance during a period, we must include an expense within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Significant management judgments are required in determining our provision for income taxes, current income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. We file tax returns in Japan and certain foreign tax jurisdictions and recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, and measure the tax position that meets the recognition threshold at the largest

Table of Contents

amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. Management judgments, including the interpretations about the application of the complex tax laws of Japan and certain foreign tax jurisdictions, are required in the process of evaluating tax positions; therefore, these judgments may differ from the actual results. We have recorded a valuation allowance due to uncertainties about our ability to utilize certain deferred tax assets, primarily certain net operating loss carry forwards, before they expire. Although utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, will be realized. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. If actual results differ from these estimates or if we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to establish additional valuation allowances, which could materially impact the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

DISCUSSION WITH AND REVIEW BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

Our management discussed the development and selection of each critical accounting estimate with our Audit Committee in June 2014.

 

FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT AND RENTAL PROPERTY

 

We own real estate such as rental office buildings, rental logistics centers, rental commercial facilities other than office buildings, rental condominiums and land which is utilized for development as operating leases. A large portion of our real estate holdings is located around major cities in Japan such as Tokyo. The following table sets forth the carrying amount of investment and rental property as of the beginning and end of fiscal 2014, as well as the fair value as of the end of fiscal 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

GUIDE TO OUR CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this annual report. See “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Our consolidated results of operations are presented in the accompanying financial statements with sub-categorization of revenues and expenses designed to enable the reader to better understand the diversified operating activities contributing to our overall operating performance.

 

As further described in “Item 4. Information on the Company,” after developing the Japanese leasing market in 1964, we extended the scope of our operations into various types of businesses which have become significant contributors to our consolidated operating results. Our initial leasing business has expanded into the provision of broader financial services, including direct lending to our lessees and other customers. Initial direct lending broadened into diversified finance such as housing loans, loans secured by real estate, unsecured loans and non-recourse loans. Through our lending experience, we developed a loan servicing business and a loan securitization business. Through experience gained by our focusing on real estate as collateral for loans, we also developed our real estate leasing, development and management operations.

 

Furthermore, we also expanded our business by the addition of securities-related operations, aimed at generating capital gains. Thereafter, we established and acquired a number of subsidiaries and affiliates in Japan and overseas to expand our operations, such as a bank, a life insurance company and a real estate-related company. The Investment and Operation Headquarters selectively invests in companies and actively seeks to fulfill the needs of companies involved in or considering M&A activity, including, among other things, management buyouts, privatization or carve-outs of subsidiaries or business units and business succession.

 

The diversified nature of our operations is reflected in our presentation of operating results through the categorization of our revenues and expenses to align with operating activities. We categorize our revenues into direct financing leases, operating leases, interest on loans and investment securities, brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities, life insurance premiums and related investment income, real estate sales, gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, revenues from asset management and servicing and other operating revenues, and these revenues are summarized into a subtotal of “Total revenues” consisting of our “Operating Income” on the consolidated statements of income.

 

The following is an additional explanation of certain account captions on our consolidated statements of income to supplement the discussion above:

 

Interest on investment securities is combined with interest on loans because we believe that capital we deploy is fungible and, whether used to provide financing in the form of loans and leases or through investment in debt securities, the decision to deploy the capital is a banking-type operation that shares the common objective of managing earning assets to generate a positive spread over our cost of borrowings.

 

Securities investment activities originated by the Company were extended to group companies, such as our U.S. operations. As a result, gains on investment securities have grown and become one of our major revenue sources. With this background, we determined to present gains on investment securities under a separate income statement caption, together with brokerage commissions, because both gains on investment securities and brokerage commissions are derived from our securities operations.

 

Other operating revenues consist of revenues derived from our various operations which are considered a part of our recurring operating activities, such as integrated facilities management operations, vehicle

 

42


Table of Contents

maintenance and management services, management of golf courses, training facilities and hotels, real estate-related business and commissions for the sale of insurance and other financial products.

 

Similar to our revenues, we categorize our expenses based on our diversified operating activities. “Total expenses” includes mainly interest expense, costs of operating leases, life insurance costs, costs of real estate sales, expenses from asset management and servicing, other operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Expenses reported under the account caption “Other operating expenses” are directly associated with the sales and revenues separately reported within other operating revenues. Interest expense is based on monies borrowed mainly to fund revenue-generating assets, including to purchase equipment for leases, extend loans and invest in securities and real estate operations. We also consider the principal part of selling, general and administrative expenses to be directly related to the generation of revenues. Therefore, they have been included within “Total expenses” deducted to derive “Operating Income.” We similarly view the provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses to be directly related to our finance activities and accordingly have included it within “Total expenses.” As our principal operations consist of providing financial products and/or finance-related services to our customers, these expenses are directly related to the potential risks and changes in these products and services. See “Year Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2013” and “Year Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2012.”

 

We have historically reflected write-downs of long-lived assets under “Operating Income” as related assets, primarily real estate assets, representing significant operating assets under management or development. Accordingly, the write-downs were considered to represent an appropriate component of “Operating Income” derived from the related real estate investment activities. Similarly, as we have identified investment in securities to represent an operating component of our financing activities, write-downs of securities are presented under “Operating Income.”

 

We believe that our financial statement presentation, as explained above, with the expanded presentation of revenues and expenses, aids in the comprehension of our diversified operating activities in Japan and overseas and supports the fair presentation of our consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents

Total revenues for fiscal 2014 increased 27% to ¥1,341,651 million compared to ¥1,055,764 million during fiscal 2013. Compared to fiscal 2013, revenues from the asset management and servicing business increased due to the consolidation of Robeco, an asset management company we acquired on July 1, 2013, and Operating lease revenues increased due to growth in auto leasing in Japan and aircraft leasing overseas. In addition, other operating revenues increased mainly due to revenue contribution from companies acquired during fiscal 2013, growth in the environment and energy-related business, and an increase in fee income compared to fiscal 2013. On the other hand, interest on loans and investment securities and revenues from real estate sales decreased compared to fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in installment loan balance and a decrease in the number of condominium units delivered, respectively.

 

Total expenses for fiscal 2014 increased 26% to ¥1,140,673 million compared to ¥904,911 million during fiscal 2013. In addition to an increase in expenses from the asset management and servicing business resulting primarily from our acquisition of Robeco on July 1, 2013, costs of operating leases and other operating expenses also increased in line with an increase in revenues, and selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to corporate acquisitions during fiscal 2014. Meanwhile, interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings outstanding; costs of real estate sales decreased due to a decrease in the number of condominium units delivered; and write-downs of securities decreased mainly due to a decrease in write-downs recorded for non-marketable securities compared to fiscal 2013.

 

Compared to fiscal 2013, equity in net income of affiliates increased in fiscal 2014 mainly due to an increase in profits from domestic real-estate joint ventures, and a net increase in gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses due to gains of ¥58,435 million associated with the consolidation of DAIKYO on February 27, 2014.

 

As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes and discontinued operations during fiscal 2014 increased 64% to ¥283,726 million compared to ¥172,572 million during fiscal 2013, and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders during fiscal 2014 increased 67% to ¥186,794 million compared to ¥111,909 million during fiscal 2013.

Adjusted ORIX Corporation Shareholders’ equity ratio and Adjusted D/E ratio are non-GAAP financial measures presented on an adjusted basis that excludes the effect of consolidating certain VIEs on our assets or liabilities and reverses the cumulative effect on our retained earnings of such consolidation, which resulted from applying the accounting standards for the consolidation of VIEs under ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, effective April 1, 2010. For a discussion of these and other non-GAAP financial measures, including a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” under this Item 5.

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in business combinations have been recognized as segment assets from July 1, 2013, Segment assets for fiscal 2013 have been reclassified as a result of this change.

 

Total assets as of March 31, 2014 increased 7% to ¥9,069,392 million compared to ¥8,439,710 million on March 31, 2013. Investment in direct financing leases increased due to an increase of new transactions in Japan and other Asian markets. Investment in securities increased primarily due to an increase in purchase of government bond securities and municipal bond securities in Japan. Other operating assets increased primarily due to the new acquisitions. In addition, inventories increased due to our the consolidation of DAIKYO on February 27, 2014 and other assets increased primarily due to the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets from the acquisition of Robeco on July 1, 2013 and DAIKYO on February 27, 2014. On the other hand, installment loans decreased as of March 31, 2014 due to an increase in collections. Segment assets increased 14% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥7,281,355 million.

 

The balance of interest bearing liabilities is managed at an appropriate level taking into account the nature and mix of assets and the liquidity on-hand as well as the domestic and overseas financial environment. As a result, long-term and short-term debt decreased compared to March 31, 2013.

 

ORIX Corporation Shareholders’ Equity as of March 31, 2014 increased 17% compared to March 31, 2013 to ¥1,918,740 million due to a decrease in treasury stock at cost that was paid as part of the consideration for the Robeco acquisition, and an increase in common stock and additional paid-in capital as a result of the conversion of convertible bonds with stock acquisition rights and the exercise of rights on stock acquisition rights, in addition to an increase in retained earnings.

In Japan, the balance of direct financing leases increased primarily due to an increase in the volume of smaller leasing transactions. Overseas, the balance of direct financing leases increased in fiscal 2014 increased compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to an increase in new equipment acquisitions overseas, particularly in Asia.

 

Revenues from direct financing leases in fiscal 2014 increased 6% compared to fiscal 2013 to ¥57,483 million. In Japan, despite an increase in the average balance of financing leases, revenues from direct financing leases decreased 1% compared to fiscal 2013 to ¥34,933 million due to a decrease in income from the cancellation of financing leases. Overseas, revenues from direct financing lease increased 18% compared to fiscal 2013 to ¥22,550 million due to an increase in the average balance of financing leases as a result of an increase in new equipment acquisitions mainly in Asia.

 

The average return on direct financing leases in Japan, calculated on the basis of quarterly balances, decreased to 4.87% in fiscal 2014 compared to 5.15% in fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in income from the cancellation of financing leases. The average return on overseas direct financing leases, calculated on the basis of quarterly balances, decreased to 7.12% in fiscal 2014 from 7.60% in fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in the proportion of high-yield investment in direct financing leases in China.

 

New equipment acquisitions related to direct financing leases increased 23% to ¥560,665 million compared to fiscal 2013. New equipment acquisitions for operations in Japan increased 23% in fiscal 2014, and new equipment acquisition for overseas operations increased 24% in fiscal 2014, as compared to fiscal 2013.

 

Investment in direct financing leases as of March 31, 2014 increased 11% to ¥1,094,073 million compared to March 31, 2013 due to the effect of yen depreciation and the increases in new equipment described above.

 

As of March 31, 2014, no single lessee represented more than 2% of our total portfolio of direct financing leases. As of March 31, 2014, 70% of our direct financing leases were to lessees in Japan, while 30% were to overseas lessees. Approximately 9% of our direct financing leases were to lessees in Malaysia and approximately 6% of our direct financing leases were to lessees in Indonesia. No other overseas country represented more than 5% of our total portfolio of direct financing leases.

Revenues from operating leases in fiscal 2014 increased 9% to ¥324,083 million compared to fiscal 2013. In Japan, operating lease revenues increased mainly due to an increase in revenue from automobile operations and an increase in revenues from rental operations such as measuring and information-related equipment. Overseas, operating lease revenues increased mainly due to an increase in aircraft leasing. In fiscal 2013 and 2014, gains from the disposition of operating lease assets other than real estate that were included in operating lease revenues, were ¥14,032 million and ¥17,820 million, respectively.

 

Costs of operating leases increased 11% to ¥215,889 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 due to an increase in depreciation expenses resulting from a year on year increase in the average monthly balance of investment in operating leases.

 

New equipment acquisitions related to operating leases increased 10% to ¥325,930 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. New equipment acquisitions by operations in Japan increased as a result of an increase in purchases of transportation equipment such as automobiles, and measuring and information-related equipment, and the purchase of real estate.

 

Investment in operating leases decreased 1% to ¥1,375,686 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 due to sales of large amounts of real estate, despite an increase in new equipment acquisitions as described above.

The balance of installment loans related to our life insurance operations are included in installment loans in our consolidated balance sheets; however, income and losses on these loans are recorded in life insurance premiums and related investment income in our consolidated statements of income.

 

In Japan, the balance of installment loans decreased as a result of collection of loans to real estate companies and collection of non-recourse loans. As a result, the average balance of installment loans decreased and revenues decreased compared to fiscal 2013. Overseas, the balance of installment loans decreased mainly as a result of recovery of loans of VIEs in the United States. As a result, the average balance of installment loans decreased and revenues decreased compared to fiscal 2013.

 

Interest on installment loans decreased 18% from fiscal 2013 to ¥118,287 million for fiscal 2014. In Japan, interest on installment loans decreased 8% compared to fiscal 2013 as mentioned above. Overseas, interest on installment loans decreased 35% in fiscal 2014 as mentioned above.

 

The average interest rate earned on loans in Japan, calculated on the basis of quarterly balances, decreased to 4.15% in fiscal 2014 from 4.33% in fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in revenues from large collections in the loan servicing business in fiscal 2013. The average interest rate earned on overseas loans, calculated on the basis of quarterly balances, increased to 8.41% in fiscal 2014 from 7.81% in fiscal 2013.

In Japan, new loans added increased 15% to ¥813,327 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 due to an increase in housing loans in Japan, and overseas, new loans added increased 4% to ¥221,399 million compared to fiscal 2013.

 

The balance of installment loans as of March 31, 2014 decreased 14% to ¥2,315,555 million compared to March 31, 2013. The balance of installment loans for borrowers in Japan decreased 3% to ¥1,988,108 million, and the balance of installment loans for overseas customers decreased 49% to ¥327,447 million for the reasons mentioned above.

Purchased loans represent loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable at acquisition that collection of all contractually required payments from the relevant debtor is unlikely in accordance with ASC 310-30 (“Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”).

 

As of March 31, 2014, ¥258,601 million, or 11%, of all installment loans were outstanding to real estate companies in Japan and overseas. Of this amount, ¥28,869 million, or 1.2% of all installment loans, were loans individually evaluated for impairment. We calculated an allowance of ¥8,911 million on these impaired loans. As of March 31, 2014, we had installment loans outstanding in the amount of ¥106,884 million, or 5% of all installment loans, to companies in the entertainment industry. Of this amount, ¥7,827 million, or 0.3% of all installment loans, were loans individually evaluated for impairment. We calculated an allowance of ¥1,801 million on these impaired loans.

 

The balance of loans to consumer borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2014 increased 5% to ¥1,227,182 million compared to the balance as of March 31, 2013. The balance of loans to corporate borrowers in Japan as of March 31, 2014 decreased 14%, to ¥710,533 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the balance of non-recourse loans. The balance of loans overseas, excluding purchased loans, as of March 31, 2014 decreased 49%, to ¥324,499 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the balance of loans of VIEs in the United States.

lease receivables are generally diversified and the amount of realized loss on any particular contract is likely to be relatively small; and

 

   

all lease contracts are secured by collateral consisting of the underlying leased equipment, and we can expect to recover at least a portion of the outstanding lease receivables by selling the collateral.

Interest on investment securities other than those held in connection with our life insurance operations in Japan decreased 19% to ¥4,670 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to a lower average balance of bonds such as specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan because of stringent selection of new transactions and enhanced collection efforts. Overseas interest on investment securities increased 34% to ¥7,723 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to the foreign exchange effects of the depreciated yen. The average interest rate earned on investment securities in Japan, calculated on a monthly basis, declined to 1.37% in fiscal 2014 compared to 1.45% in fiscal 2013. The average interest rate earned on overseas investment securities, calculated on a monthly basis, increased to 7.40% in fiscal 2014 compared to 6.51% in fiscal 2013.

 

New securities added increased 23% to ¥930,526 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. New securities added in Japan increased 19% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to an increase in investments in government bonds, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. New securities added overseas increased 91% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to an increase in investments in municipal bonds and CMBS and RMBS in the United States.

 

The balance of our investment in securities as of March 31, 2014 increased 11% to ¥1,214,576 million compared to fiscal 2013. The balance of our investment in securities in Japan increased 8% due to rebalancing of investment portfolios in our life insurance business and decreasing balances of specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan. The balance of our investment in securities overseas increased 22% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 mainly due to an increase of municipal bonds in the United States and the foreign exchange effects of the depreciated yen.

Investments in trading securities decreased 51% to ¥16,079 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to sales of municipal bonds in the United States. Investments in available-for-sale securities increased 16% to ¥881,606 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to increased balances of government and municipal bonds while balances of debt securities such as specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan decreased. Held-to-maturity securities increased mainly as a result of our life insurance business’s investment in Japanese government bonds. Other securities increased 3% to ¥220,160 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 mainly due to increasing balances of fund investments in the United States.

Real estate sales were down 40% year on year to ¥23,139 million compared to fiscal 2013 due to the decrease in the number of condominium units delivered in Japan.

 

Costs of real estate sales decreased 31% to ¥27,059 million compared to fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in number of condominium units delivered as described above, despite an increase in write-downs recorded on some projects under development. We recorded ¥3,377 million and ¥5,650 million of write-downs for fiscal 2013 and 2014, respectively. Costs of real estate sales include the upfront costs associated with advertising and creating model rooms.

 

Margins amounted to a loss of ¥3,920 million in fiscal 2014 compared to a loss of ¥626 million in fiscal 2013 due to the decrease in the number of condominium units delivered and the increase in write-downs as described above.

In Japan, other operating revenues were up 33% to ¥331,758 million in fiscal 2014 compared to ¥249,884 million in fiscal 2013, mainly due to an increase in earnings of private equity investment-related business and environment and energy-related business. Overseas, other operating revenues were up 142% to ¥159,555 million in fiscal 2014 compared to ¥65,807 million in fiscal 2013, due to an increase of revenues from private equity investment-related business resulting from STX Energy Co., Ltd. in South Korea being a consolidated subsidiary in fiscal 2014.

Other operating expenses were up 60% year on year to ¥310,775 million resulting from the recognition of expenses from private equity investment-related business and environment and energy-related business, along with the increase in other operating revenues.

 

New assets added for other operating transactions include other operating assets and real estate for sale, such as residential condominiums. New assets added for other operating transactions were up 202% to ¥39,108 million in fiscal 2014 due to purchases of electric power facilities.

 

Other operating assets increased 34% to ¥312,774 million in fiscal 2014.

 

Expenses

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense decreased 18% to ¥82,859 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Our total outstanding short-term debt, long-term debt and deposits decreased 3% to ¥ 5,374,878 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013.

 

The average interest rate on our short-term debt, long-term debt and deposits in domestic currency, calculated on the basis of average monthly balances, decreased to 0.9% in fiscal 2014, compared to 1.1% in fiscal 2013. The average interest rate on our short-term debt, long-term debt and deposits in foreign currency, calculated on the basis of average monthly balances, decreased to 3.4% in fiscal 2014, compared to 4.3% in fiscal 2013 due to a higher proportion of Euro-denominated debts with low-interest rates.

Employee salaries and other personnel expenses account for 63% of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2014, and the remaining portion consists of selling and other general and administrative expenses, such as rent for office space, communication expenses and travel expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2014 increased 39% year on year mainly due to the consolidation of the asset management company Robeco, acquired on July 1, 2013.

 

Write-downs of long-lived assets

 

As a result of impairment reviews we performed in fiscal 2014 for long-lived assets in Japan and overseas, such as golf courses, office buildings, commercial facilities other than office buildings, condominiums, and land undeveloped or under construction, write-downs of long-lived assets increased 27% to ¥26,742 million in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. These write-downs are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets and income from discontinued operations, net. ¥23,421 million is reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets in our

Table of Contents

consolidated statement of income for fiscal 2014. These write-downs consist of impairment losses of ¥9,136 million on eight office buildings, ¥3,113 million on three commercial facilities other than office buildings, ¥988 million on one condominium, ¥4,500 million on 11 parcels of lands undeveloped or under construction, and ¥9,005 million on other long-lived assets, because the assets were classified as held for sale or the carrying amount exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows. In addition, write-down of other long-lived assets in fiscal 2014 includes write-downs of ¥5,052 million of a building used for training facility in facilities operation business and ¥1,292 million of information-related equipment in rental operation.

 

For a breakdown of long-lived assets by segment, see Note 34 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Write-downs of securities

 

Write-downs of securities in fiscal 2014 were mainly non-marketable equity securities. In fiscal 2014, write-downs of securities decreased 65% from ¥22,838 million in fiscal 2013 to ¥7,989 million in fiscal 2014. For information regarding the impairment of investments in securities, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and Note 9 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Foreign currency transaction loss (gain), net

 

We recognized a foreign currency transaction net loss in the amount of ¥723 million in fiscal 2014 compared to a foreign currency transaction net loss in the amount of ¥503 million in fiscal 2013. For information on the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

Equity in net income of affiliates

 

Equity in net income of affiliates increased in fiscal 2014 to ¥17,825 million compared to ¥13,836 million in fiscal 2013 mainly due to contributions from real estate joint ventures in Japan.

 

For discussion of investment in affiliates, see Note 12 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net

 

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net increased to ¥64,923 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to ¥7,883 million in fiscal 2013 primarily due to gain of ¥58,435 million in earnings recorded in fiscal 2014 from the remeasurement to fair value of the previously held equity interest as a result of our consolidation of DAIKYO.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes in fiscal 2014 was ¥97,236 million, compared to ¥53,682 million in fiscal 2013. The increase of ¥43,554 million was primarily due to higher income before income taxes and discontinued operations.

 

For discussion of income taxes, see Note 16 in “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Discontinued operations

 

We apply ASC 205-20 (“Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations”). Under ASC 205-20, the scope of discontinued operations includes operating results of any component of an entity with its own identifiable operations and cash flow and in which operations we will not have significant continuing involvement. Income from discontinued operations, net refers to net income from the sale or disposal by sale of

subsidiaries, business units and real estate under operating leases in which we no longer have significant continuing involvement. Discontinued operations, net of applicable tax effect, was ¥7,501 million in fiscal 2014.

 

For discussion of discontinued operations, see Note 27 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests

 

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests was recorded as a result of the noncontrolling interests in earnings of certain of our subsidiaries. In fiscal 2014, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests was ¥3,089 million.

 

Net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests

 

Net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests was recorded as a result of the noncontrolling interests in the earnings of our subsidiaries that issued redeemable stock. In fiscal 2014, net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests increased 3% year on year to ¥4,108 million.

 

Segment Information

 

Our business is organized into six segments that are based on major products, nature of services, customer base, and management organizations to facilitate strategy formulation, resource allocation and portfolio rebalancing at the segment level. Our six business segments are: Corporate Financial Services, Maintenance Leasing, Real Estate, Investment and Operation, Retail and Overseas Business.

 

Financial information about our operating segments reported below is information that is separately available and evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We evaluate 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.

 

From July 1, 2013, in conjunction with the acquisition of Robeco, goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to the relevant segments. In addition, from November 1, 2013, ORIX’s Information and Communication Technology Department which was previously included in the Maintenance Leasing Segment, is disclosed as part of the Corporate Financial Services Segment due to reorganization of operation management.

 

Due to these changes, the reclassified figures are shown for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

This segment is involved in lending, leasing and fee business.

 

In Japan, despite concerns over the impact of the consumption tax hike that went into effect on April 1, 2014, we are seeing a steady increase in capital expenditures as corporate sentiment grew positive due to improvement in corporate revenues. We are also seeing an increase in lending by financial institutions to small and medium-sized enterprises in addition to large corporations, and going forward we anticipate an increase in capital expenditures by corporations taking advantage of the favorable financing environment.

 

Segment assets increased 5% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥992,078 million, due to an increase in investment in direct financing leases despite a decrease in installment loans.

 

Installment loan revenues decreased in line with a decrease in average balance of installment loans. On the other hand, direct financing lease revenues remained robust due to an increase in average balance of direct finance leases. As a result, segment revenues remained relatively flat compared to fiscal 2013 at ¥76,877 million.

 

Segment profits decreased 4% to ¥24,874 million compared to ¥25,932 during fiscal 2013 due to an increase in segment expenses.

 

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

This segment consists of automobile and rental operations. Automobile operations are comprised of automobile leasing, rentals and car sharing. Rental operations are comprised of leasing and rental of precision measuring and IT-related equipment.

 

Manufacturing activities of Japanese companies are expected to continue to recover. Despite concerns over the impact of consumption tax hike on the economy, large companies are increasing their planned capital expenditure and there are signs that private investment activities that had been halted for a period of time are beginning to be resumed. In such environment, revenues have increased due to our ability to provide customers with high value-added services that meet their capital expenditure and cost reduction needs.

 

Segment revenues increased 7% to ¥251,366 million compared to ¥234,651 million during fiscal 2013 due to an increase in operating lease revenues as a result of an increase in outstanding operating leases. On the other hand, segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2013 due to an increase in the costs of operating leases in line with an increase in investment in operating leases.

 

62


Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 6% to ¥37,062 million compared to ¥34,913 million during fiscal 2013.

 

Segment assets increased 13% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥622,009 million due to increases in investment in operating leases and investment in financing leases.

 

Real Estate Segment

 

This segment consists of real estate development, rental and financing, facility operation, REIT asset management, and real estate investment advisory services.

 

The vacancy rate in the Japanese office building market is starting to fall below its peak due to an increase in companies expanding their offices in anticipation of economic recovery. In particular, we are seeing signs of office rents rising in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. In addition, in the J-REIT market, property acquisitions are increasing as a result of new stock exchange listings and capital raising activities through public offerings. We are also seeing sales of large real estate developments and rising sales prices due to increased competition among buyers.

 

Segment revenues decreased 8% to ¥198,450 million compared to ¥215,212 million during fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in real estate sales resulting from a decrease in the number of condominium units delivered, and a decrease in operating lease revenues due to sale of rental properties, despite an increase in gains from sales of rental properties and an increase in revenues from facilities operation.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2013 due to decreases in costs of real estate sales and write-downs of securities despite increases in facilities operation expenses and write-downs of long-lived assets.

 

In addition to the foregoing, due to an increase in equity in net income of affiliates including real estate joint ventures, segment profits increased 222% to ¥17,956 million compared to ¥5,582 million during fiscal 2013.

 

Segment assets decreased 15% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥962,404 million due to sales of rental properties and decreases in installment loans and investment in securities.

 

Investment and Operation Segment

 

This segment consists of environment and energy-related business, principal investment, and loan servicing.

 

In the environment and energy-related business in Japan, there has been ongoing, active investment in the power generation business, such as megasolar projects. In addition, investment targets are expanding beyond solar power generation projects to include wind and geothermal power generation projects. In the capital markets, there has been an increase in the number of initial public offerings for the fourth consecutive year and a spate of initial public offerings is expected to follow. In addition, M&A activities are increasing on the back of recovery in corporate profitability.

 

Segment revenues increased 46% to ¥178,532 million compared to ¥121,933 million during fiscal 2013 due to contributions from consolidated subsidiaries acquired during fiscal 2013, despite the absence of revenues from large collections in the loan servicing business that were recorded during fiscal 2013 and gains on sale of shares in Aozora Bank that were recorded during fiscal 2013.

 

Segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2013 due to increases in expenses relating to our principal investment and environment and energy-related businesses in addition to an increase in expenses attributable to consolidated subsidiaries acquired during fiscal 2013.

 

63


Table of Contents

In addition, due to gains of ¥58,435 million associated with the consolidation of DAIKYO on February 27, 2014, which was previously an equity method affiliate, segment profits increased 169% to ¥94,111 million compared to ¥34,937 million during fiscal 2013.

 

Segment assets increased 27% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥565,740 million due to an increase in inventories, etc. as a result of the consolidation of DAIKYO on February 27, 2014, despite decreases in investment in securities and installment loans mainly in the loan servicing business.

 

Retail Segment

 

This segment consists of life insurance operations, banking business and card loan business.

 

Although the life insurance business is being affected by macro factors such as a decline in the population, demand for medical insurance is increasing due to the so-called “risks associated with lengthening life expectancy or life span” faced by the aging population. In the consumer finance sector, we anticipate an increase in loan demand due to an improvement in consumer sentiment in line with economic recovery.

 

Segment revenues increased 12% to ¥211,468 million compared to ¥188,695 million during fiscal 2013 due to an increase in installment loan revenues, an increase in insurance premium income as a result of growth in the number of policies in force in the life insurance business and an increase in insurance-related investment income.

 

Segment expenses increased due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as well as an increase in insurance-related costs.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 15% to ¥49,871 million compared to ¥43,209 million during fiscal 2013.

 

Segment assets increased 9% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥2,166,986 million due to increases in investment in securities and installment loans despite decreases in rental properties owned for investment purposes in life insurance business and in investment in affiliates.

 

Overseas Business Segment

 

This segment consists of leasing, lending, investment in bonds, investment banking, asset management and ship- and aircraft-related operations in the United States, Asia, Australasia and Europe.

 

In the U.S. economy, the Quantitative Easing Program (QE3) is on a tapering trend. However, the U.S. is expected to continue to lead the global economy, maintaining stable growth with the recovery in the employment market, increasing housing demand, and increasing consumer consumption. In Asia’s emerging economies, while China is in the process of switching its policy to stable growth, in other emerging economies, expansion of investments with a focus on high growth potential is expected, due in part to economic resurgence in developed countries.

 

Segment revenues increased 106% to ¥416,226 million compared to ¥202,516 million during fiscal 2013 due to an increase in revenues from the asset management business, resulting primarily from the acquisition of Robeco on July 1, 2013, and an increase in direct financing lease and operating lease revenues in Asia as well as in aircraft-related operations.

 

Segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2013 due to an increase in expenses from asset management in line with the acquisition of Robeco on July 1, 2013, and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

64


Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 32% to ¥69,688 million compared to ¥52,756 million during fiscal 2013.

 

Segment assets increased 50% compared to March 31, 2013, to ¥1,972,138 million due to recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets resulting primarily from the acquisition of Robeco on July 1, 2013, and increased investment in direct financing leases and operating leases in Asia as well as in aircraft-related operations.

Total revenues for fiscal 2013 increased 9% to ¥1,055,764 million compared to ¥964,779 million during fiscal 2012. Compared to fiscal 2012, operating lease revenues increased due to increases in auto leasing and aircraft leasing overseas, life insurance premiums and related investment income increased due to an increase in the number of policies in force, and other operating revenues increased mainly due to an expansion in the real estate operating business and environment and energy-related business, and an increase in fee revenues. Meanwhile, revenues from real estate sales decreased compared to fiscal 2012 due to a drop in condominium units sold.

 

Total expenses for fiscal 2013 increased 7% to ¥904,911 million compared to ¥842,564 million during fiscal 2012. Costs of operating leases increased in line with an increase in investment in operating leases, other operating expenses increased mainly due to the expansion of the real estate operating business and environment and energy business, and selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to the consolidation of ORIX Credit as well as other corporate acquisitions. Meanwhile, compared to fiscal 2012, interest expense decreased due to decreases in the balance of liabilities and funding cost, and provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses decreased due to a decrease in the amount of non-performing loans.

 

Equity in net income of affiliates increased compared to fiscal 2012 due to the absence of a valuation loss for the investment in Monex Group Inc. that was recognized during fiscal 2012.

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in business combinations have been recognized as segment assets from July 1, 2013, Segment assets for fiscal 2012 and 2013 have been reclassified as a result of this change.

 

Total assets as of March 31, 2013 increased 1% to ¥8,439,710 million from ¥8,332,830 million on March 31, 2012. Investment in direct financing leases increased due to robust new transactions in the Asian region, and investment in operating leases increased primarily due to strong auto leasing and aircraft leasing overseas. On the other hand, installment loans decreased due to collection of loans, while investment in securities also decreased primarily due to sales and redemption of available-for-sale securities. Segment assets increased 4% compared to March 31, 2012 to ¥6,382,654 million.

 

The balance of interest bearing liabilities is controlled at an appropriate level depending on the situation of assets, cash flow and liquidity on-hand in addition to the domestic and overseas financial environment. As a result, long-term and short-term debt and deposits decreased compared to March 31, 2012.

 

ORIX Corporation Shareholders’ equity increased 19% compared to March 31, 2012 to ¥1,643,596 million due to increases in common stock and additional paid-in capital as a result of execution of rights on convertible bonds, as well as an increase in retained earnings.

In Japan, the balance of direct financing leases increased primarily due to a large volume of smaller leasing transactions. Overseas, the balance of direct financing leases increased primarily due to new equipment acquisitions overseas with a focus on Asia in fiscal 2013 increased compared to fiscal 2012.

 

Revenues from direct financing leases in fiscal 2013 increased 7% compared to fiscal 2012 to ¥54,356 million. In Japan, revenues from direct financing leases increased 2% compared to fiscal 2012 to ¥35,179 million due to an increase in the average balance of financing leases. Overseas, revenues from direct financing lease increased 18% compared to fiscal 2012 to ¥19,177 million due to an increase in the average balance of financing leases as a result of an increase in new equipment acquisitions mainly in Asia.

 

The average return we earned on direct financing leases in Japan, calculated on the basis of quarterly balances, decreased to 5.15% in fiscal 2013 compared to 5.48% in fiscal 2012 due to a decrease in the profit on sale of automobiles. The average return on overseas direct financing leases, calculated on the basis of quarterly balances, decreased to 7.60% in fiscal 2013 from 8.09% in fiscal 2012 due to a decrease in the proportion of high-yield investment in direct financing leases of China.

 

New equipment acquisitions related to direct financing leases increased 12% to ¥455,433 million compared to fiscal 2012. New equipment acquisitions for operations in Japan increased 17% in fiscal 2013, and new equipment acquisition for overseas operations increased 4% in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012.

 

Investment in direct financing leases as of March 31, 2013 increased 10% to ¥989,380 million compared to March 31, 2012 due to the effect of yen depreciation and the increases in new equipment described above.

Revenues from operating leases for fiscal 2013 increased 5% to ¥296,329 million compared to fiscal 2012. In Japan, operating lease revenues increased mainly due to an increase in revenue from automobile operations and an increase in revenues from rental operations such as measuring and information-related equipment. Overseas, operating lease revenues increased mainly due to an increase in aircraft leasing. In fiscal 2012 and 2013, gains from the disposition of operating lease assets other than real estate, which were included in operating lease revenues, were ¥14,721 million and ¥14,032 million, respectively.

 

Costs of operating leases increased 7% to ¥194,429 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 due to an increase in depreciation expenses resulting from a year on year increase in the average monthly balance of investment in operating leases.

 

New equipment acquisitions related to operating leases increased 20% to ¥295,765 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. New equipment acquisitions by operations in Japan decreased as a result of a decrease in the purchase of real estate, despite an increase in transportation equipment such as automobile and measuring and information-related equipment, while new equipment acquisitions by operations overseas increased due to an increase in aircraft purchases.

The balances of installment loans related to our life insurance operations are included in installment loans in the consolidated balance sheets; however, income and losses on these loans are recorded in life insurance premiums and related investment income in the consolidated statements of income.

 

In Japan, the balance of installment loans increased as a result of consolidation of ORIX Credit, offset by recovery of loans to real estate companies and non-recourse loans. As a result, the average balance of installment loans increased and revenues increased compared to fiscal 2012. Overseas, the balance of installment loans decreased mainly as a result of recovery of loans of VIEs in the United States. As a result, the average balance of installment loans decreased and revenues decreased compared to fiscal 2012.

 

Interest on installment loans increased 9% from fiscal 2012 to ¥144,458 million for fiscal 2013. In Japan, interest on installment loans increased 21% compared to fiscal 2012 as mentioned above. Overseas, interest on installment loans decreased 7% in fiscal 2013 as mentioned above.

The balance of loans to overseas, excluding purchased loans, as of March 31, 2013 decreased 17%, to ¥632,994 million, compared to the balance as of March 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in the balance of loans of VIEs in the United States.

The balance of 90+ days past-due direct financing leases decreased ¥1,635 million to ¥15,806 million compared to fiscal 2012. As a result, the ratio of 90+ days past-due direct financing leases decreased 0.34% from fiscal 2012 to 1.60%.

 

We believe that the ratio of allowance for doubtful receivables as a percentage of the balance of investment in direct financing leases provides a reasonable indication that our allowance for doubtful receivables was appropriate as of March 31, 2013 for the following reasons:

 

   

lease receivables are generally diversified and the amount of realized loss on any particular contract is likely to be relatively small; and

 

   

all lease contracts are secured by the collateral of the underlying leased equipment, and we can expect to recover at least a portion of the outstanding lease receivables by selling the underlying equipment.

Interest on investment securities other than those held in connection with our life insurance operations in Japan decreased 40% to ¥5,744 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 primarily due to a lower average balance of bonds such as specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan because of stringent selection of new transactions and enhanced collection efforts. Overseas interest on investment securities increased 3% to ¥5,761 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 primarily due to the foreign exchange effects of the depreciated yen. The average interest rate earned on investment securities in Japan, calculated on a monthly basis, declined to 1.45% in fiscal 2013 compared to 1.88% in fiscal 2012. The average interest rate earned on overseas investment securities, calculated on a monthly basis, increased to 6.51% in fiscal 2013 compared to 6.32% in fiscal 2012.

 

New securities added increased 8% to ¥758,292 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. New securities added in Japan increased 15% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 primarily due to an increase in investments in government bonds. On the other hand, new securities added overseas decreased 46% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 primarily due to a decrease in investments in municipal bonds in the United States.

 

The balance of our investment in securities as of March 31, 2013 decreased 5% to ¥1,093,668 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The balance of our investment in securities in Japan decreased 10% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 due to rebalancing of our investment portfolios and decreasing balances of specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan. The balance of our investment in securities overseas increased 27% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 mainly due to an increase of investment in trading securities and the foreign exchange effects of the depreciated yen.

Gains on sales of real estate under operating leases increased 162% to ¥5,816 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012, mainly due to an increase in profits from the large sale of real estate in Japan.

 

Where we have significant continuing involvement in the operations of real estate under operating leases which have been disposed of, the gains or losses arising from such disposition are separately disclosed as gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, while if we have no significant continuing involvement of operations of such disposed real estate properties, the gains or losses are reported as income from discontinued operations. For a discussion of our accounting policy for discontinued operations, see Note 27 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

Other operating revenues were up 26% year on year to ¥315,691 million. In Japan, revenues were up 30% to ¥249,884 million compared to ¥192,005 million in fiscal 2012, mainly due to an increase in earnings of the aquarium business and environment and energy-related business and an increase of private equity investment-related business. Overseas, revenues were up 12% to ¥65,807 million compared to ¥58,674 million in fiscal 2012, due to an increase of revenues from advisory services in the United States and an increase of revenues from car-related service associated with ORIX Auto Infrastructure Services Limited in India being a consolidated subsidiary for the full fiscal 2013.

 

Other operating expenses were up 28% year on year to ¥194,693 million resulting from the recognition of expenses from aquarium business, environment and energy-related business, and private equity investment-related business, along with the increase in other operating revenues.

 

New assets added for other operating transactions include other operating assets and real estate for sale, such as residential condominiums. New assets added for other operating transactions were down 66% to ¥12,931 million in fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in the number of condominiums completed.

 

Other operating assets increased 13% to ¥233,258 million in fiscal 2013.

 

Expenses

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense decreased 8% to ¥100,966 million compared to fiscal 2012. Our total outstanding short-term debt, long-term debt and deposits decreased 5% to ¥5,560,847 million compared to fiscal 2012.

 

The average interest rate on our short-term debt, long-term debt and deposits in domestic currency, calculated on the basis of average monthly balances, decreased to 1.1% in fiscal 2013, compared to 1.2% in fiscal 2012. The average interest rate on our short-term debt, long-term debt and deposits in foreign currency, calculated on the basis of average monthly balances, decreased to 4.3% in fiscal 2013, compared to 4.5% in fiscal 2012 due to a lower proportion of debts in high-interest currencies in overseas subsidiaries located in Australia and South Korea. For more information regarding interest rate risk, see “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors.” For more information regarding our debt, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Short-term and long-term debt and deposits.”

Write-downs of long-lived assets

 

As a result of the impairment reviews we performed during fiscal 2013 for long-lived assets in Japan and overseas, such as golf courses, office buildings, commercial facilities other than office buildings, condominiums, and land undeveloped or under construction, write-downs of long-lived assets increased 4% to ¥21,053 million during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. These write-downs are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets and income from discontinued operations, net. ¥17,896 million is reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of income. These write-downs consist of impairment losses of ¥1,978 million on 16 office buildings, ¥2,024 million on six commercial facilities other than office buildings, ¥4,995 million on 17 condominiums, ¥7,426 million on five parcels of lands undeveloped or under construction, and ¥4,630 million on 23 other assets, because the assets were classified as held for sale or the carrying amount exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

 

For a breakdown of long-lived assets by segment, see Note 34 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Write-downs of securities

 

Write-downs of securities for fiscal 2013 were mainly in connection with non-marketable equity securities, preferred capital shares carried at cost and specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan. In fiscal 2013, write-downs of securities increased 39% from ¥16,470 million in fiscal 2012 to ¥22,838 million in fiscal 2013. For information regarding the impairment of investment in securities, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and Note 9 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Foreign currency transaction loss (gain), net

 

We recognized a foreign currency transaction net loss in the amount of ¥503 million in fiscal 2013 compared to a foreign currency transaction net gain in the amount of ¥217 million in fiscal 2012. For information on the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

Equity in net income of affiliates

 

Equity in net income of affiliates increased in fiscal 2013 to ¥13,836 million compared to ¥1,983 million in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2012, a write-down was recorded for the investment in the equity-method affiliate Monex Group, Inc. In fiscal 2013, the recorded gain was mainly due to contributions from equity-method affiliates in Japan. Net loss from joint ventures in Japan was ¥276 million improved from a net loss of ¥1,295 million in

fiscal 2012. The number of residential condominiums delivered through joint ventures in Japan decreased to 519 units in fiscal 2013 from 785 units in fiscal 2012, however, gains from some real estate investment properties contributed to the profit improvement or these joint ventures.

 

For discussion of investment in affiliates, see Note 12 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net

 

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net increased to ¥7,883 million in fiscal 2013 as compared to ¥3,317 million in fiscal 2012. A gain on sales of an equity-method affiliate that owns real estate such as rental condominiums was recorded in fiscal 2012 and a gain of ¥3,132 million in earnings was recorded in fiscal 2013 from the remeasurement to fair value of the previously held equity interest in connection with making ORIX Credit a wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes in fiscal 2013 was ¥53,682 million, compared to ¥44,608 million in fiscal 2012. The increase of ¥9,074 million was primarily due to higher income before income taxes and discontinued operations.

 

For discussion of income taxes, see Note 16 in “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Discontinued operations

 

We apply ASC 205-20 (“Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations”). Under ASC 205-20, the scope of discontinued operations includes operating results of any component of an entity with its own identifiable operations and cash flow and in which operations we will not have significant continuing involvement. Income from discontinued operations, net refers to net income from the sale or disposal by sale of subsidiaries, business units and real estate under operating leases in which we no longer have significant continuing involvement. Discontinued operations, net of applicable tax effect, decreased 94% to ¥168 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 primarily due to a decrease of net income from subsidiaries sold.

 

For discussion of discontinued operations, see Note 27 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests

 

Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests was recorded as a result of the noncontrolling interests in earnings of certain of our subsidiaries. In fiscal 2013, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests was ¥3,164 million.

 

Net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests

 

Net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests was recorded as a result of the noncontrolling interests in the earnings of our subsidiaries that issued redeemable stock. In fiscal 2013, net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests increased 46% year on year to ¥3,985 million.

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.

 

From July 1, 2013, in conjunction with the acquisition of Robeco, goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to the relevant segments. In addition, from November 1, 2013, ORIX’s Information and Communication Technology Department, which was previously included in the Maintenance Leasing Segment, is disclosed as part of the Corporate Financial Services Segment due to reorganization of operation management.

 

Due to these changes, the reclassified figures are shown for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2013.

 

For a description of the business activities of our segments, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Profile of Business by Segment.” See Note 34 of “Item 18.

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

This segment is involved in lending, leasing and fee business.

 

Segment assets remained relatively flat year on year at ¥943,295 million, as an increase in investment in direct financing leases offset a decrease in the balance of installment loans.

 

Installment loan revenues decreased in line with a decrease in the average balance of installment loans despite a steady trend in new business volume. Meanwhile, direct financing lease revenues remained robust, backed by solid new transaction volume and an increase in the average balance. As a result, segment revenues remained relatively flat compared to fiscal 2012 at ¥76,128 million.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2012, due to a decrease in provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 13% to ¥25,932 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥22,989 million during fiscal 2012.

 

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

This segment consists of automobile and rental operations. The automobile operations are comprised of automobile leasing, rentals and car sharing and the rental operations are comprised of leasing and rental of precision measuring and IT-related equipment.

 

Production by Japanese companies improved during fiscal 2013 and continues to make a moderate recovery. Segment revenues remained stable due to ORIX’s ability to provide customers with high value-added services that meet corporate customers’ cost reduction needs.

 

Segment revenues increased 3% to ¥234,651 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥228,007 million during fiscal 2012 due to solid revenues from operating leases. Meanwhile, segment expenses increased as a result of an increase in costs of operating leases in line with increased investment in operating leases, despite a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses compared to fiscal 2012.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 5% to ¥34,913 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥33,253 million during fiscal 2012.

 

83


Table of Contents

Segment assets increased 12% compared to March 31, 2012, to ¥549,300 million due to an increase in investment in operating leases.

 

Real Estate Segment

 

This segment consists of real estate development, rental and financing; facility operation; REIT asset management; and real estate investment advisory services.

 

The office building market in Japan is showing signs of recovery. The vacancy ratio is falling below its peak and rent levels appear to be bottoming out. The real estate market is once again attracting attention, and in March 2013, J-REITs set a new market cap record, exceeding their peak level. However, the number of condominiums delivered decreased to 1,416 units from 2,180 units during fiscal 2012.

 

Segment revenues decreased 3% to ¥215,212 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥222,631 million during fiscal 2012 due to increases in revenues from the facility operating business and gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, not fully offsetting a decrease in real estate sales revenues, which resulted from a drop in the delivery of condominium units.

 

Segment expenses decreased compared to fiscal 2012 due to a significant decrease in costs of real estate sales and interest expense, despite increases in operating business expenses and write-downs of securities.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 314% to ¥5,582 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥1,349 million during fiscal 2012.

 

Segment assets decreased 19% compared to March 31, 2012, to ¥1,133,170 million due to sales of real estate under operating leases, as well as decreases in installment loans and investment in securities.

 

Investment and Operation Segment

 

This segment consists of environment and energy-related business, principal investment, and loan servicing.

 

In the environment business in Japan, following the introduction of a renewable energy feed-in tariff program, an increasing number of companies from various industries have been entering into power generation through ventures such as megasolar projects. There have been signs of improvement in the investment market, with the number of IPOs beginning to increase after years of decline since 2006, and with initial IPO prices of many companies exceeding the offer prices.

 

Segment revenues increased 66% to ¥121,933 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥73,293 million during fiscal 2012 due to gains on sales of Aozora Bank shares, an increase in revenues from large collections in the servicing business, and recognition of revenues from Kawachiya Corporation and KINREI CORPORATION, which ORIX acquired during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

Similarly, segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2012 due to increases in costs relating to the aforementioned consolidated subsidiaries.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 119% to ¥34,937 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥15,983 million during fiscal 2012.

 

Segment assets decreased 6% compared to March 31, 2012 to ¥444,315 million during fiscal 2013 due to decreases in investment in securities and installment loans.

Table of Contents

Retail Segment

 

This segment consists of the life insurance operations, the banking business and the card loan business.

 

Segment revenues increased 18% to ¥188,695 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥160,071 million during fiscal 2012 due to an increase in installment loan revenues as a result of consolidation of ORIX Credit, and steady growth in life insurance premiums from an increase in the number of policies in force.

 

Segment expenses increased due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of consolidation of ORIX Credit, as well as an increase in insurance-related expenses.

 

Segment profits increased 123% to ¥43,209 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥19,352 million during fiscal 2012 due to gains associated with the consolidation of ORIX Credit and the absence in fiscal 2013 of a write-down that was recognized for investment in equity-method affiliate Monex Group, Inc. during fiscal 2012.

 

Segment assets increased 14% compared to March 31, 2012 to ¥1,994,140 million, mainly due to an increase in installment loans as a result of consolidation of ORIX Credit.

 

Overseas Business Segment

 

This segment consists of leasing, lending, investment in bonds, investment banking, and ship- and aircraft-related operations in the United States, Asia, Oceania and Europe.

 

The U.S. economy is slowly improving, as consumer spending and the residential property market make a gradual recovery. Meanwhile, although there are signs of an economic slowdown in China and India, countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia continue to maintain relatively high growth.

 

Segment revenues increased 8% to ¥202,516 million during fiscal 2013 compared to ¥187,240 million in fiscal 2012 as a result of strong growth in direct financing leases in Asia and automobile and aircraft operating leases, as well as an increase in fee revenues in the United States, compared to fiscal 2012, despite a decrease in gains on sales of investment securities in the United States.

 

Segment expenses increased compared to fiscal 2012 due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, despite decreases in write-downs of securities and provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses.

 

As a result of the foregoing, segment profits increased 6% to ¥52,756 million compared to ¥49,768 million during fiscal 2012.

 

Segment assets increased 22% compared to March 31, 2012 to ¥1,318,434 million due to increases in investment in operating leases, including aircraft, and investment in direct financing leases in Asia, in addition to the effect of yen depreciation.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Funding Activities

 

We prioritize funding stability, maintaining adequate liquidity, and reducing capital costs. We formulate and execute on funding policies that are resilient to sudden deterioration in financial markets, and then conduct funding activities in accordance with actual transitions in our assets and changes in financial markets. In preparing our management plan, we project funding activities to maintain a balanced capital structure in light of projected cash flows, asset liquidity and our own liquidity situation. In implementation, we adjust our funding plan based on changes in the external funding environment and our funding needs in light of our business activities, and endeavor to maintain flexibility in our funding activities.

 

85


Table of Contents

In our funding activities during fiscal 2014, we have tried to reinforce our funding structure by diversifying our funding resources, promoting longer maturities, staggering redemption dates and maintaining sufficient liquidity. In fiscal 2014, we also implemented various international funding activities, such as international bond offerings outside Japan. We also have enhanced our use of longer maturities, employed staggered interest and principal repayment dates and endeavored to reduce risk in refinancing by leveling out annual redemption amounts both in borrowing from financial institutions and bonds. As of March 31, 2014, the total balance of cash and cash equivalents and unused committed credit facilities was ¥1,254,524 million. The balance of these liquidity resources equals approximately 399% of our short-term marketable liabilities, namely bonds and medium term notes (“MTNs”) maturing within one year and CP. We maintain adequate levels of liquidity and monitor liquidity risk to minimize the effect on us of sudden market deteriorations and to enable us sustain our operations.

 

As a result of these initiatives our ratio of long-term debt to total debt (excluding deposits) reached 91% as of March 31, 2013 and 93% as of March 31, 2014. On an adjusted basis, our ratio of long-term debt to total debt (excluding deposits) was 89% as of March 31, 2013 and 92% as of March 2014. This ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure presented on an adjusted basis, which excludes payables under securitized leases, loan receivables and other assets. For a discussion of this and other non-GAAP financial measures, including a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” under this Item 5.

 

For more information regarding our liquidity risk management, see “Risk Management” under this Item 5.

 

Group Liquidity Management

 

ORIX is primarily responsible for accessing liquidity for ORIX Group and for managing the allocation of liquidity to subsidiaries. In managing our capital resources and controlling liquidity risk, we employ various measures, including a cash management system for supplying funds to, and receiving funds from, our major domestic subsidiaries, other than regulated subsidiaries like ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance. Our overseas subsidiaries rely primarily on local funding sources such as borrowings from local financial institutions and issuing bonds in local capital markets, but they may also obtain loans from ORIX. We also support liquidity of overseas subsidiaries by establishing local commitment lines and maintaining a multi-currency commitment line available to ORIX and some of its overseas subsidiaries.

 

ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are our main regulated subsidiaries in terms of liquidity controls, although several other subsidiaries also operate under such regulations. ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are regulated by Japanese financial authorities. Under relevant regulations, each of them employs prescribed measures to monitor liquidity risk at the entity level and maintains internal policies to manage its portfolios and capital resources on a standalone basis. Each of these subsidiaries met the relevant regulatory threshold relating to measures for monitoring its liquidity risk as of March 31, 2014.

 

ORIX Bank raises the majority of the funds it needs to operate its business through deposit taking. Although ORIX Bank provides loans to several of our domestic subsidiaries in the ordinary course of its business, such loans are subject to a maximum limit set by the Japanese Banking Act. Under such regulations, ORIX Bank may not make loans to other members of ORIX Group in an aggregate amount exceeding a regulatory limit. ORIX Life Insurance underwrites insurance, receives insurance premiums from policyholders, and conducts financing and investment activities, including lending. Lending from ORIX Life Insurance to other members of ORIX Group is subject to regulation, including under the Japanese Insurance Business Act. For these reasons, ORIX Group manages its liquidity separately from ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance.

Ratings

 

As of the date of this filing, Standard & Poor’s has assigned an “A-” as our counterparty credit rating, Moody’s has assigned a “Baa2” as our long-term issuer rating, and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has assigned an “A+” as our issuer rating.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Borrowings from Financial Institutions

 

ORIX Group borrows from a variety of sources, including major banks, regional banks, foreign banks, life insurance companies, casualty insurance companies and financial institutions associated with agricultural cooperatives. As of March 31, 2014, the number of our lenders exceeded 200. We have promoted regular face-to-face communications and established positive working relationships with financial institutions in Japan and overseas. The majority of our loan balances consists of borrowings from Japanese financial institutions. As of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, short-term debt from Japanese and foreign financial institutions was ¥268,588 million and ¥208,598 million, respectively, while long-term debt from financial institutions was ¥2,099,408 million and ¥2,430,225 million, respectively.

 

As is typical in Japan, contracts for borrowings from Japanese banks and insurance companies contain clauses that require us to pledge assets upon request by the lenders when they consider reasonably necessary to preserve their claims. In addition, in certain bank loan agreements, the bank is assigned the right to offset deposits with any debt for which payment is due, and, under certain conditions, such as default, the bank has the right to offset all our debt with deposits. Whether or not such provision is applied depends upon the circumstances at that time. As of the time of filing we have not received any such demand from any lender.

 

Committed Credit Facilities

 

We regularly enter into committed credit facilities agreements, including syndicated agreements, with financial institutions to secure liquidity. The maturity dates of these committed credit facilities are staggered to prevent an overlap of contract renewal periods. The total amount of our committed credit facilities as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was ¥481,096 million and ¥469,747 million, respectively. Of these figures, the unused amount as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was ¥439,530 million and ¥427,225 million, respectively. A part of the facilities are arranged to be drawn down in foreign currencies by ORIX and our subsidiaries.

 

The decision to enter into a committed credit facility is made based on factors including our balance of cash and repayment schedules of short-term debt such as CP.

 

Some of these committed credit facility agreements include financial covenants, such as the maintenance of a minimum ORIX Corporation shareholders’ equity ratio. In addition, the majority of our committed credit facilities require the relevant obligor to represent and warrant that there has been, among other things, no material negative change in its financial condition since the date of the agreement. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants and have been able to make the necessary representations and warranties concerning our financial condition.

 

Debt from the Capital Markets

 

Our debt from capital markets is mainly composed of bonds, MTNs, CP, and securitization of leases, loans receivables and other assets.

 

87


Table of Contents

Bonds and MTNs

 

We regularly issue straight bonds and MTNs domestically and internationally to diversify our funding sources and maintain longer liability maturities. In fiscal 2014, we issued ¥100,000 million of domestic straight bonds in Japan, and THB1,000 million and KRW60,000 million of notes outside Japan. Domestic straight bond issuances are divided mainly into bonds for institutional investors and bonds for individual investors. As of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the balance of straight bonds issued by ORIX for domestic institutional investors was ¥308,100 million and ¥343,100 million, respectively, while the balance of straight bonds issued by ORIX for individual investors was ¥664,487 million and ¥519,487 million, respectively. The balance of bonds issued by domestic subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was ¥5,756 million and ¥12,140 million, respectively. The balance of straight bonds and short-term notes issued outside Japan, which includes SEC-registered U.S. dollar-denominated straight bonds, was ¥183,690 million and ¥198,016 million as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

 

ORIX and three overseas subsidiaries currently are participants in a Multi-Issuer Euro MTN program (the EMTN program) with a maximum issuance limit of $4,000 million. During fiscal 2013 ORIX issued Australian dollar denominated notes under the EMTN program. In addition to the EMTN program, ORIX Group has established other MTN programs in several countries and issues MTNs to meet funding necessities. The total balance of MTNs issued as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was ¥58,169 million and ¥46,034 million, respectively, of which MTNs amounting to ¥12,871 million and ¥9,898 million, respectively, were issued by foreign subsidiaries.

 

ORIX does not have any convertible bonds outstanding as of March 31, 2014.

 

We plan to continue to issue straight bonds and MTNs in a balanced manner to institutional and individual investors both inside and outside Japan in line with our strategy of maintaining longer maturities and diversified funding sources.

 

CP

 

We offer CP (direct paper) as a direct financing source, and have successfully obtained a diverse range of investors such as investment trusts, life insurance companies, casualty insurance companies and other financial institutions, as well as private corporations. We consider our liquidity levels and spread out the date of issuance and the terms over time so as to avoid significant overlap. The balance of outstanding CP as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was ¥151,504 million and ¥100,993 million, respectively.

 

Securitization

 

We securitize leases, loan receivables and other assets, primarily in Japan. We also invest in CMBS in the United States and elsewhere while acting as a servicer or asset manager for the underlying assets. We recognize liabilities consolidated with such investments as our liabilities when required under applicable accounting standards. The total amount of payables under securitized lease, loan receivables and other assets as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was ¥679,766 million and ¥253,827 million, respectively.

 

Deposits

 

ORIX Bank and ORIX Asia Limited each accept deposits. These deposit taking subsidiaries are regulated institutions, and loans from these subsidiaries to ORIX Group are subject to maximum regulatory limits.

 

The majority of deposits are attributable to ORIX Bank, which attracts both corporate and retail deposits, and which has seen sustained growth in deposits outstanding. Deposit balances of ORIX Bank as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 were ¥1,078,340 million and ¥1,206,183 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Approximately 54% of interest paid on long-term debt in fiscal 2014 was fixed rate interest, with the remainder being floating rate interest based mainly on TIBOR or LIBOR.

 

For information regarding the repayment schedule of our long-term debt and interest rates for long and short-term debt, see Note 14 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

We have entered into interest rate swaps and other derivative contracts to manage risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates. For information with respect to derivative financial instruments and hedging, see Note 29 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

CASH FLOWS

 

In addition to cash required for the payment of operating expenses such as selling, general and administrative expenses, as a financial services company our primary uses of cash are for:

 

   

payment and repayment of interest on and principal of short-term and long-term debt; and

 

   

purchases of lease equipment, installment loans made to customers, investment in securities and cash outlays for real estate development projects.

 

The use of cash, therefore, is heavily dependent on new business volumes for our operating assets. When new business volumes for such assets as leases and loans increase, we require more cash to meet these requirements, while a decrease in new business volumes results in a reduced use of cash for new assets and an increase in debt repayment.

 

We have cash inflows from the principal payments received under direct financing leases and installment loans, and proceeds from sales of investment securities and operating lease assets. For cash flow information regarding interest and income tax payments, see Note 4 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Year Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2013

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 increased by ¥1,003 million to ¥827,299 million compared to March 31, 2013.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥470,993 million during fiscal 2014, up from ¥391,304 million during fiscal 2013, primarily resulting from an increase in net income, an increase in trade notes and accounts payable, a decrease in trading securities, and a smaller decrease in restricted cash and inventories, each as compared to fiscal 2013. In addition, adjustments were made for non-cash revenue and expense items such as depreciation and amortization and write-downs of securities, and for gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net as compared to fiscal 2013.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were ¥202,166 million during fiscal 2014, while having provided ¥105,657 million during fiscal 2013. This change was primarily due to increases in acquisitions of subsidiaries,

net of cash acquired, installment loans made to customers, purchases of available-for-sale securities and purchases of lease equipment, but partially offset by increases in principal collected on installment loans and proceeds from sales of operating lease assets.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities were ¥274,579 million during fiscal 2014, decreased from ¥467,193 million during fiscal 2013. This change was primarily due to a decrease in repayment of debt with maturities longer than three months and an increase in deposits due to customers, partially offset by decrease in proceeds from debt with maturities longer than three months.

 

Year Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2012

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 increased by ¥39,404 million to ¥826,296 million compared to March 31, 2012.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were ¥391,304 million in fiscal 2013, up from ¥332,994 million in fiscal 2012, primarily resulting from an increase in net income and a decrease in inventories compared to fiscal 2012, in addition to the non-cash revenue and expense items such as depreciation and amortization, provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses, equity in net income of affiliates (excluding interest on loans), write-downs of long-lived assets and write-downs of securities.

 

Cash flows provided by investing activities were ¥105,657 million in fiscal 2013, up from ¥41,757 million during fiscal 2012. This change was primarily due to an increase in principal collected on installment loans.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities were ¥467,193 million in fiscal 2013, up from ¥318,477 million during fiscal 2012. This change was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from debt with maturities longer than three months.

 

COMMITMENTS FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had commitments for the purchase of equipment to be leased in the amount of ¥20,390 million. For information on commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities, see Note 33 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

USE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES

 

We periodically securitize lease receivables, loan receivables and other assets. These securitizations allow us to access the capital markets, provide us with alternative sources of funding and diversify our investor base and help us to mitigate, to some extent, credit risk associated with our customers and risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates.

 

In the securitization process, the assets for securitization are sold to SPEs, which issue asset-backed securities to investors. SPEs can be structured to be bankruptcy-remote, and, if structured in this manner (and subject to certain other conditions) the assigned assets used to be removed from the balance sheet. However, from April 1, 2010, we started applying Accounting Standards Update 2009-16 (ASC 860 (“Transfers and Servicing”)) and Accounting Standards Update 2009-17 (ASC 810 (“Consolidation”)), which require us to consolidate many SPEs that had not been previously consolidated. In managing our business, we assume that if we conduct securitization we will be required to consolidate almost all of our SPEs based on the accounting standards.

 

91


Table of Contents

We expect to continue to utilize SPE structures for securitization of assets. For further information on our securitization transactions, see Note 10 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Investment Products

 

We provide investment products to our customers that employ a contractual mechanism known in Japan as a kumiai, which is in effect a type of SPE. We arrange and market kumiai products to investors as a means to finance the purchase of aircraft, ships or other large-ticket items to be leased to third parties. A portion of the funds necessary to purchase the item is contributed by such investors, while the remainder is borrowed by the kumiai from one or more financial institutions in the form of a non-recourse loan. The kumiai investors (and any lenders to the kumiai) retain all of the economic risks and rewards in connection with the purchase and leasing activities of the kumiai, and all related gains or losses are recorded on the financial statements of investors in the kumiai. We are responsible for the arrangement and marketing of these products, and may act as servicer or administrator in kumiai transactions. Fee income for arranging and administering these transactions is recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In most kumiai transactions, excluding some kumiai and SPE, we do not guarantee or otherwise have any financial commitments or exposure with respect to the kumiai or its related SPE and, accordingly, their assets are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

Other Financial Transactions

 

We occasionally enter into loans, equity or other investments in SPEs in connection with finance transactions related to aircraft, ships and real estate, as well as transactions involving investment funds, in addition to real estate purchases and development projects. All transactions involving use of SPE structures are evaluated to determine whether we hold a variable interest that would result in our being defined as the primary beneficiary of the SPE pursuant to ASC 810 (“Consolidation”). When we are considered to own the primary beneficial interest in the SPEs, the SPEs are fully consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. In all other circumstances our loan, equity or other investments are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as appropriate.

 

See Note 11 of “Item 18. Financial Statements” for further information concerning our SPEs and the effect of ASC 810 on our results of operations or financial position.

Table of Contents

A subsidiary in the United States is authorized to underwrite, originate, fund and service multi-family and senior housing loans without prior approval from Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program. As part of this program, Fannie Mae provides a commitment to purchase the loans.

 

In return for the delegated authority, the subsidiary guarantees the performance of certain housing loans transferred to Fannie Mae and has the payment or performance risks or the guarantees to absorb some of the losses when losses arise from the transferred loans. The amount attributable to the guarantee included in the table above is ¥212,150 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

The subsidiary makes certain representations and warranties in connection with the sale of loans through Fannie Mae, including among others, that: the mortgage meets Fannie Mae requirements; there is a valid lien on the property; the relevant transaction documents are valid and enforceable; and title insurance is maintained on the property. If it is determined that a representation and warranty was breached, the subsidiary may be required to repurchase the related loans or indemnify Fannie Mae for any related losses incurred. The subsidiary had no such repurchase claims during fiscal 31, 2014.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

 

In February 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-04 (“Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date”—ASC 405 (“Liabilities”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In March 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-05 (“Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”—ASC 830 (“Foreign Currency Matters”)) was issued. This Update requires that when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity, the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This Update continues to require an entity to release a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon a partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. This Update requires an acquirer to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when the acquirer obtains a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity that was previously an equity method affiliate in a business combination achieved in stages. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

 

In April 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-07 (“Liquidation Basis of Accounting”—ASC 205 (“Presentation of Financial Statements”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent and provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

 

In June 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-08 (“Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements”—ASC 946 (“Financial Services—Investment Companies”)) was issued. This Update changes the approach to the investment company assessment, clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, and provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. This Update requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. This Update requires an investment company to disclose the additional information about an entity’s status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The Update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In July 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 (“Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”—ASC 740 (“Income Taxes”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a

 

94


Table of Contents

reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability, with certain exceptions. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, although retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In January 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-04 (“Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”—ASC 310-40 (“Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”)) was issued. This Update clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession resulting from an in substance repossession or foreclosure of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Additionally, this Update requires an entity to disclose the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In April 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”—ASC 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 entity’s operations and financial results. This Update requires an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. Furthermore, this Update requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and a disposal of an individually significant component that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The Update is effective prospectively for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that occur within fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

 

In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued. The core principle of this Update is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue, and in what amount. The five steps to apply the model are:

 

   

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

 

   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Determine the transaction price

 

   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

This Update requires an entity to disclose more information about contracts with customers than under the current disclosure requirements. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016.

Table of Contents

Early adoption is prohibited. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update using either a retrospective method or a cumulative-effect method. The entity using the retrospective method may elect some optional expedients to simplify a full retrospective basis. The entity using the cumulative-effect method would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying this Update as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or net assets at the date of initial application. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations and financial position.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

The sections “Results of Operation” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” contain certain financial measures presented on a basis not in accordance with U.S. GAAP (commonly referred to as non-GAAP financial measures), including long-term debt, ORIX Corporation Shareholders’ equity and total assets, as well as other measures or ratios calculated based on those measures, presented on an adjusted basis, which excludes payables under securitized leases, loan receivables and investment in securities and reverses the cumulative effect on retained earnings of applying the accounting standards for the consolidation of VIEs under ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, effective April 1, 2010.

 

Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful comparisons between our financial condition as of March 31, 2014, as compared to prior periods. Effective April 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, which changed the circumstances under which we are required to consolidate certain VIEs. Our adoption of these accounting standards caused a significant increase in our consolidated assets and liabilities and a decrease in our retained earnings without affecting the net cash flow and economic effects of our investments in such consolidated VIEs. Accordingly, our management believes that providing certain financial measures that exclude the impact of consolidating certain VIEs on our assets and liabilities as a supplement to financial information calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP enhances understanding of the overall picture of our current financial position and enables investors to evaluate our historical financial and business trends without the large balance sheet fluctuation caused by our adoption of these accounting standards.

 

We provide these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Group-Wide Risk Management System

 

Risk Management System

 

ORIX Group monitors and manages the risks relating to the Group businesses through its risk management system. In addition to the Risk Management Headquarters, which primarily monitors risks related to individual transactions, and the Corporate Planning Department, which monitors risks at the corporate level, each business unit has designated staff responsible for managing risks at the business unit level. Risk Management Headquarters, the Corporate Planning Department and individual business units respectively analyze and monitor various risks in collaboration with each other. The results are reported to the Investment and Credit Committee held three times a month, to the Group Executive Officer Committee held on a monthly basis and to the board of directors held on a regular basis for evaluation, and the relevant executive officers, along with the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as the central person responsible for overall risk management, take measures deemed appropriate.

 

97


Table of Contents

Risk Control

 

ORIX Group allocates management resources by taking into account Group-wide risk preference based on management strategies as well as the strategy of individual business units. Our board of directors and executive officers evaluate the performance and profitability of each business unit, and the executive officers, along with the CFO as the person responsible for overall risk management, take the responsive measures they deem necessary. This process enables us to control the balance sheet and allocate more management resources to business units viewed as having greater growth potential.

 

ORIX Group, in addition to the monitoring by business unit, monitors risks on an individual transaction and total portfolio basis.

 

For individual transactions, the Risk Management Headquarters evaluates the operating environment, strategies, risks and profitability of each transaction prior to execution, and reports on such individual transactions to the Investment and Credit Committee for review. Changes to the operating environment and cash flow are monitored after transaction execution, and transactions for which there has been a major change in circumstance or strategy are then reported to the appropriate executive officers. In addition, individual business units conduct their risk analysis together with the trend analysis of relevant industries aimed at controlling risks for individual transactions.

 

In analyzing a portfolio, the Risk Management Headquarters monitors the following characteristics from a Group-wide perspective: business type, region, transaction type, risk type, asset quality status and concentration status of major debtors. The Corporate Planning Department monitors risks at the corporate level, including market risk and risk related to fund procurement, in cooperation with the Treasury Headquarters and the Risk Management Headquarters.

 

Main Risk Management

 

We view credit risk, business risk, market risk, liquidity risk (risk relating to fund procurement), legal risk and other operational risk as the main risks facing us. Each risk is managed according to its individual characteristics.

 

Credit Risk Management

 

We define credit risk as uncertainty in future investment recovery caused by the fluctuation of cash flow from debtors and investees.

 

Our basic credit evaluation policy focuses on factors such as the adequacy of collateral and guarantees, the liquidation of debt and the concentration of debtors and their respective industries. In the credit evaluation process of each individual transaction, we comprehensively review the customer’s financial soundness, cash flow position, underlying security interests, profitability and other factors.

 

Moreover, analysis of our portfolio, as well as measures to establish appropriate credit limits, allows us to control exposure to markets with potentially high risks.

 

We define problem assets to include credit extended to debtors who have petitioned for bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation or other insolvency proceedings, whose bank transactions have been suspended, whose bills have been dishonored, or whose debts have not been collected for three months or more. The relevant business units, in cooperation with the Risk Management Headquarters, take steps to secure collateral or other guarantees and to begin the collection process. The accumulated collection know-how—from sending an initial reminder to actively seizing collateral—is consolidated at the Risk Management Headquarters and is reflected in our credit evaluation criteria for individual transactions and portfolio analysis.

 

98


Table of Contents

Business Risk Management

 

We define business risk as uncertainties related to new business areas, potential obsolescence of the products or services we offer or a decline in their quality, and variability in market prices for products or services of the types we offer.

 

We monitor business plans and operations using scenario analyses and stress tests for uncertainties related to new businesses. The cost of withdrawal from a business is also factored in the business risk evaluation and verification process.

 

In addition to monitoring the quality of our products and services, we also review the resilience of our lineup of products and services to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs, and respond proactively to maintain or improve quality and our responsiveness.

 

A principal risk relating to operating leases is fluctuation in the residual value of the leased properties. In order to control fluctuation in residual value, we monitor our inventories of leased properties, market environments and the overall business environment. We generally limit our operating leases to leased properties with high versatility that are comparatively easy to re-lease, and evaluate the sale of such properties depending on changes in market conditions.

 

We endeavor to reduce the risk related to real estate market price fluctuation by strengthening our cash flow position.

 

Market Risk Management

 

We define market risk as the risk of changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities caused by changes in market variables, such as interest rates, exchange rates and stock prices.

 

We establish Group-wide ALM policies, and we endeavor to comprehensively verify and understand market risks.

 

Interest rate risk is comprehensively evaluated based on the expected impact of interest rate changes on the periodic profit and loss and on the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities positions, and the funding environment. These analyses are reviewed, as required, depending on the situation.

 

We generally manage exchange rate risk by using foreign currency loans, foreign exchange contracts, currency swaps and other instruments, to hedge exchange rate volatility in our business transactions in foreign currencies and overseas investments. For unhedged foreign currency-denominated assets, we employ risk monitoring and management procedures including VaR(value at risk) and other metrics.

 

We manage counterparty credit risk and other risks of hedging derivative transactions in accordance with internal rules on derivative transaction management.

 

For assets under management in the banking business, the life insurance business and our United States operations, we regularly monitor monetary policies, macroeconomic indicators and securities and financial market trends and manage the asset portfolios by analyzing on a daily basis individual security price movements and gains and losses. Market volatility is managed according to guidelines that include fixed loss amounts and decreases in position. Our risk management departments monitor compliance with the guidelines.

 

For quantitative and qualitative analysis information on market risk, please see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Liquidity Risk Management (Risk Management Relating to Fund Procurement)

 

We define liquidity risk as the risk that we will be unable to obtain the required funds, or that we will be forced to procure funds at an unusually high rate of interest due to market turmoil, deterioration in the financial condition of the ORIX Group or other reasons.

 

To reduce liquidity risk, we diversify fund procurement methods and sources and monitor liquidity on hand. To manage liquidity on hand, we project future cash flows and evaluate liquidity risk in hypothetical stress scenarios. We take necessary measures in accordance so that business may continue undisturbed in the event of environmental changes.

 

In addition, we monitor the effect on the business of each subsidiary by ascertaining liquidity risk in each subsidiary and in every country in which ORIX operates and take appropriate measures to manage liquidity risk, such as parent-to-subsidiary lending.

 

ORIX Bank and ORIX Life Insurance are engaged in retail financial activities such as accepting deposits and insurance underwriting and are regulated by Japanese financial authorities. Therefore they are required to manage liquidity risk independently from other ORIX Group companies based on internal regulations formulated according to the relevant regulations.

 

ORIX Bank maintains the required liquidity levels by maintaining deposits and liquid assets such as marketable securities above a fixed percentage and setting an upper limit for capital market-based funding. In addition, it regularly monitors the status of these measures, estimates the tightness of cash flows under different scenarios and conducts stage-by-stage management of liquidity risk accordingly.

 

ORIX Life Insurance conducts stress tests on insured accidents and maintains the required liquidity levels by setting an upper limit on the amount of held-to-maturity securities and by holding deposits and liquid assets such as marketable securities for policy reserve amounts above a specified percentage.

 

Legal Risk Management

 

We define legal risk as the risk of legal responsibility or legal disadvantage arising due to noncompliance with applicable laws and/or regulations in any business or corporate management.

 

To avoid, prevent and mitigate transactional legal risk in Japan, we generally require that the Risk Management Headquarters and the Group Compliance Department be involved in transactions. In addition to establishing internal rules necessary to observe applicable laws, we implement necessary measures to ensure that we are, and continue to be, in compliance with revisions to laws as they take effect.

 

For transactional agreements, we have established an approval process involving the Risk Management Headquarters, in accordance with our prescribed internal rules. In addition, depending on the size and importance of a given transaction, we might also consult external legal advisors. To ensure that proper legal procedures are followed in connection with legal disputes and litigation, we require that the Group Compliance Department and the Risk Management Headquarters be involved in the management of such disputes and litigation, including lawsuits that have been, or are expected to be, brought against us and lawsuits that we bring, or expect to bring, against third parties.

 

To prevent the violation of intellectual property rights, Group Administration Department conducts the monitoring and takes necessary measures promptly upon detection of any violations.

 

Overseas, each Group company works to avoid, prevent and mitigate risks by utilizing in-house legal functions and, when necessary, by engaging outside lawyers and other advisers.

Table of Contents

Operational Risk Management

 

We define operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.

 

Each department within the Group conducts monitoring activities in accordance with its self-examination program, which incorporates material risks considered at the Group level. The Group Internal Audit Department monitors and focuses on the material risks based on an annual internal audit plan. Through these monitoring activities, we endeavor to minimize operational risk exposure and strive for reinforcement in this risk management area.

 

To raise awareness of compliance issues among executives and employees, the Group Compliance Department supports the self-examination system, and has produced a compliance manual and distributed it to all executives and employees in the Group.

 

ORIX Computer Systems Corporation works to reduce operational risk through the maintenance and operational administration of internal systems.

 

We have established internal rules to manage risks associated with natural disasters, which are designed to protect management resources and minimize losses, while giving priority to the safety of our executives and employees.

 

Individual Business Risk Management

 

We have a broadly dispersed business portfolio, including financial service operations, and we perform complete and transparent monitoring and control according to the characteristics of each operation.

 

Corporate Financial Services Segment

 

Credit risk is the main risk of the Corporate Financial Services segment.

 

After individual transactions have been executed, the Corporate Financial Services segment regularly monitors performance and collateral as well as collection from customers whose balances exceed specified levels. The Risk Management Headquarters regularly evaluates customers with large credit balances.

 

We analyze the current condition and outlook for specific business types and industries and analyze the potential impact on customers while making decisions about future transactions in that specific business type or industry.

 

For problem assets, particularly in transactions collateralized by real estate, we take various measures such as capitalizing on our network of real estate-related departments to sell properties or introduce tenants.

 

Maintenance Leasing Segment

 

Business risk and credit risk are the main risks of the Maintenance Leasing segment.

 

To manage the risk of changes in market values of property under operating leases, we continuously monitor market environments and fluctuation in the resale value of leased property and adjust residual value estimates of leased property in new transactions accordingly.

 

Cost fluctuation (prime cost) is the main risk of providing various services such as outsourcing. We analyze initial preconditions and performance, monitor future forecasts and control costs at an appropriate level.

 

101


Table of Contents

In addition to manage the risk that the quality of our services might fall short of customer expectations due to changes in the operating environment or changes and diversification of client needs, we monitor our service quality quantitatively and qualitatively and continuously strive to improve our service according to the operating environment.

 

We also conduct credit examinations of individual transactions before and after execution to manage credit risk.

 

Real Estate Segment

 

In the Real Estate segment, the main risk of business involving real estate development, possession and operation is business risk, and the main risks of the real estate finance business are market risk and credit risk.

 

When making a decision on a real estate investment, we compare cash flow performance to the initial plan and, after making the investment, monitor investment strategies and schedules. The strategy is reevaluated in the case of a major divergence from the initial forecast. We invest mainly in small properties and diversify risk by investing in large properties through joint ventures with partners.

 

For condominiums, we monitor development and sales schedule, unit sales progress and rate of return. For development and leasing properties, we monitor development and retention schedule and NOI yield. We capitalize on the Group’s network in order to improve occupancy rates and promote sales.

 

We monitor occupancy rates and rates of return and create manuals and educate employees in our operation business.

 

For non-recourse loans in our real estate finance business, we carefully examine the loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”), the debt-service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) and other contractual terms and conditions such as equity provided by other companies, interest reserve and guarantees to control the relevant risks.

 

To minimize credit risk in the event of a significant drop in market liquidity, we may agree to changes in loan terms based on our view of the potential cash flows from properties and the credit worthiness of the borrower. In addition, depending on the circumstances, we may foreclose on collateral and hold and operate it ourselves, thereby taking on business risk.

 

Investment and Operation Segment

 

Credit risk, market risk and business risk are the main risks of the Investment and Operation segment.

 

When making investment decisions in the principal investment business, we do a credit evaluation, analyzing the investee’s credit risk and assessing its cash flow. In addition, we perform a multi-faceted evaluation on the characteristics of the operation and investment scheme, in which administrative departments such as the accounting and legal departments are also involved. After an investment has been made, each transaction is monitored for deviations from the original scenario.

 

Credit risk is emphasized for the companies for which we are raising corporate value due to the focus on cash flow. We also monitor market risk as time for collection nears, measuring corporate value by referencing the corporate values of similar business types. The frequency of monitoring may increase based on changes in the business environment, and we simultaneously verify the adequacy of investment scenarios and take necessary action. Furthermore, we work to enhance the management of investments in investees that have a significant impact on the profitability of ORIX Group through such measures as the dispatch of management personnel.

Table of Contents

In the servicer business, we seek to reduce credit and operational risks by conducting periodic internal auditing and monitoring and by implementing a business operation based on work procedures in accordance with applicable guidance from regulatory authorities. We also aim to strengthen our legal and regulatory compliance and, to this end, have appointed an outside lawyer as a director who also oversees our legal and compliance departments as the head of OAMLS’s Legal and Compliance Department to respond to potential legal issues.

 

We endeavor to minimize business risk in the environment and energy-related businesses by deploying appropriate equipment and technology, by forming alliances with expert operators for renewable energy, energy conservation, and resource and waste processing operations, and by streamlining our organizational structure to allow for changes in the business environment and the description of businesses.

 

Retail Segment

 

The main risk in the life insurance business is business risk, especially that associated with underwriting insurance contracts.

 

Before underwriting insurance contracts, ORIX Life Insurance works to ensure the hiring of sufficient staff and cultivates expert staff with specialized know-how for the rigorous assessment of health condition declarations and medical examination reports, in combination with steps to check the status of insurance solicitation, to prevent the underwriting of fraudulent contracts. ORIX Life Insurance also educates and instructs representative branch staff and agents to enhance compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy of personal information as well as sales practices.

 

Credit risk is the main risk of the housing loan business, the corporate loan business and the card loan business.

 

When we arrange housing loans (for the purchase of condominiums and apartments for investment purposes), we conduct screenings, each of which consists of a comprehensive evaluation of each transaction including the client’s ability to repay, the cash flows that can be derived from the property and collateral value. Decision making for corporate loans is based on an investigation of the client’s performance, business plan, the purpose of the loan, the source of repayment and industry trends. We also reduce risks by diversifying the business types and products of our portfolio.

 

The card loan business uses a proprietary scoring system that incorporates a credit model. We set interest rates and credit limits in line with each customer’s credit risk profile, after evaluating customer creditworthiness based on an analysis of customer attributes or payment history, as well as other factors that might affect the borrower’s ability to repay, such as past credit quality and other outstanding debt. Also, we undertake subsequent credit evaluations at regular intervals to monitor changes in the customer’s financial condition.

 

Overseas Business Segment

 

In the Overseas Business segment, credit risk is the main risk of the leasing and loan businesses operated by local subsidiaries mainly in Asia.

 

Individual transactions in this segment are conducted in a manner similar to those in the domestic business segments. The Risk Management Headquarters monitors the country risk of the overseas portfolio. Information regarding the portfolios of the respective local subsidiaries, the performance of major clients, the condition of problem assets and clients of particular concern is shared internally.

 

Risk management in the principal investment business and the automobile-related business, which are mainly in Asia, is conducted in a similar manner as those in the domestic business segments.

We monitor market environments and the overall business environment for the business risk for the ship and aircraft-related business. We generally limit our operating leases to ships and aircraft with high versatility that are comparatively easy to re-lease, and evaluate sales such equipment depending on changes in market conditions.

 

Credit risk and market risk are the main risks for the investment and finance business such as corporate loans and securities investment in the United States.

 

Regarding credit risk, at the time of origination we assign an internal credit rating to each investment and loan taking into consideration the credit status and the collateral status. For investees and customers with a rating requiring attention, we evaluate the need to recognize an allowance of doubtful accounts or impairment.

 

To manage market risk, we monitor market values while referring to credit risk information and pursue sales as appropriate to secure profits or minimize losses.

 

Operational risk is the main risk for the loan servicing business in the United States. In the loan servicing business, we are committed to the arrangement and servicing of loans under the public financial system provided by Fannie Mae and the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). We conduct our operations based on the designated operating procedures set forth by these public financial institutions, and monitor and manage service quality through internal auditing.

 

Operational risk and business risk are the main risks for the advisory business and the asset management business in the United States.

 

In the advisory business, we maintain and ensure quality and operational procedures that meet the operating standards set forth by authorities through an internal quality control committee and other oversight so that high-quality advisory and evaluation services can be provided according to proper operating procedures.

 

To manage operational risk for the asset management business, we have established an internal compliance system and manage our operations to abide by established compliance standards as an SEC-registered company.

 

For business risk in the advisory business and the asset management business, in addition to monitoring to maintain satisfactory quality levels, we review products and services in response to changes in the business environment and evolving customer needs to constantly improve quality.

 

GOVERNMENTAL AND POLITICAL POLICIES AND FACTORS

 

In our opinion, no current governmental economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies or factors have materially affected, or threaten to materially affect, directly or indirectly, our operations or the investments in our Shares by our U.S. shareholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM

 

ORIX believes that a robust corporate governance system is a vital element of effective enhanced management and therefore has established sound and transparent corporate governance to carry out appropriate business activities in line with our core policies and ensure objective management.

 

104


Table of Contents

ORIX’s corporate governance system is characterized by:

 

   

separation of operation and oversight through a “Company with Committees” board model;

 

   

The Audit Committee is formed entirely by outside directors. Both Nominating and Compensation Committees are comprised of 6 members, of which 5 members are outside directors;

 

   

all outside directors satisfy strict conditions for independence; and

 

   

outside directors highly qualified in their respective fields.

 

Reason to adopt ORIX’s Corporate Governance System and history of the system

 

We believe that swift execution of operations is vital to effectively respond to changes in the business environment. Furthermore, we believe that ORIX’s governance system promotes improved management transparency by creating a system in which outside directors with expertise in their respective fields monitor and advise on legal compliance and appropriate execution of operations.

 

ORIX adopted the “Company with Committees” board model in June 2003 followed by the new “Company with Committees” board model in line with the enactment of the Companies Act of Japan in May 2006, as outlined below, with the aim of further enhancing management and operational oversight and to accelerate management decision-making and operations.

 

Furthermore, oversight by directors is separated from the execution of operations with the three committees (Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees) that form the heart of the board of directors. The Audit Committee is formed entirely by outside directors, and the Nominating and Compensation Committees are each comprised of 6 members, of which 5 members are outside directors to help avoid conflicts of interest with our shareholders.

 

In addition, all outside directors must meet the specific conditions necessary for director independence as set forth by the Nominating Committee (described below under “Nominating Committee”).

 

Below is a summary of the history of ORIX’s corporate governance system;

 

June 1997

   Established Advisory Board

June 1998

   Introduced Corporate Executive Officer System

June 1999

   Introduced Outside Directors

June 2003

   Adopted the “Company with Committees” board model

May 2006

   Adopted the new “Company with Committees” board model in line with the enactment of the Companies Act of Japan

 

The “Company with Committees” board model, as stipulated under the Companies Act of Japan, requires the establishment of three board of director committees: the Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees. Each committee is required to consist of three or more directors, a majority of whom must be outside directors. Directors may serve on more than one committee. The term of office of committee members is not stipulated under the Companies Act of Japan. However, as a committee member must be a director of the Company, the term expires at the close of the first annual general meeting of shareholders after his or her election. Under the Companies Act of Japan, an outside director is defined as a director who does not have a role in executing the Company’s business, meaning those who have not assumed in the past the position of a representative director or a director with the role of executing the business, executive officer (shikkou-yaku), manager or any other employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, and who does not currently assume such position of such company or subsidiaries.

Board of Directors

 

ORIX’s board of directors has the ultimate decision-making responsibility for our important affairs. It also monitors the performance of the directors and executive officers and receives performance reports from the executive officers and others. The Articles of Incorporation of ORIX provide for no fewer than three directors. Directors are elected at general meetings of shareholders. The term of office for any director, as stipulated under the Companies Act of Japan, for companies that adopt a “Company with Committees” board model, expires at the close of the first annual general meeting of shareholders after his or her election.

 

The board of directors carries out decisions related to items that, either as a matter of law or pursuant our Articles of Incorporation, cannot be delegated to executive officers, and important items as determined by the regulations of the board of directors. The board of directors is responsible for approving and monitoring ORIX’s policies on a regular basis, which include corporate planning such as capital management, fund procurement and personnel strategies. Aside from such items, the board of directors delegates decision-making regarding operational execution to representative executive officers. The board of directors also receives reports from executive officers and committees regarding the status of business operations and finances.

 

With the exception of the aforementioned items, the board of directors may delegate substantial management authority to representative executive officers. Representative executive officers make decisions on management issues as delegated by the board of directors and execute the business of the Company. For example, the board may delegate to representative executive officers the authority to approve issuances of shares of capital stock and bonds. In addition, the Companies Act of Japan permits an individual to simultaneously be a director and a representative executive officer of the Company.

 

From April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014, the board of directors met eight times. The attendance rate of directors for these meetings was 99%.

 

The board of directors as of June 26, 2014 includes 13 members, six of whom are outside directors.

Table of Contents

of the annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, the Nominating Committee deliberates on the appointment or dismissal of our executive officers, although this is not required under the Companies Act of Japan.

 

The Nominating Committee determines whether the conditions for director independence have been met in accordance with nomination criteria for outside directors, which are:

 

   

No individuals, or any of their family members, may receive a compensation of ¥10 million or higher annually excluding compensation as an employee for family members, and excluding the individual’s compensation as outside directors, from ORIX or its subsidiaries.

 

“Family members” include a spouse, those related within the second degree by consanguinity or affinity, or other kin living with the outside director. (hereinafter the same)

 

   

No individuals, or any of their family members, may be a major shareholder of ORIX (more than 10% of issued shares) or represent the interests of a major shareholder.

 

   

No individuals may have served as an executive officer (including operating officers, hereinafter the same) or an employee of ORIX or its subsidiaries within the past five years. No family members may have served as an executive officer of ORIX or its subsidiaries within the past five years.

 

   

No individuals may be a principal trading partner or executive officer or an employee of a principal trading partner of ORIX or its subsidiaries. If such circumstances existed in the past, five years must have passed since that person’s retirement from office or employment.

 

A “principal trading partner” refers to an entity with a business connection with ORIX Group with a transaction amount equivalent to more than the greater of 2% of consolidated total revenues, or US$ 1,000,000 in any fiscal year of the previous three years.

 

   

There must be no concurrent directorship relationship between the company for which the individual is serving as an executive officer and ORIX.

 

“Concurrent directorship relationship” is defined as being a relationship in which the company for which the individual is serving as an executive officer has a director that is also an executive officer of ORIX or its subsidiaries.

 

   

No individuals may be directors, or executive officers of organizations receiving donations or assistance of large amounts (annual average of ¥10 million or higher over the past three years) from ORIX or its subsidiaries.

 

   

There must be no material conflict of interest or any possible conflict of interest that might influence the individual’s judgment in performing their duties as an outside director.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee monitors the operational execution of the directors and executives and prepares audit reports. In addition, the Audit Committee proposes the appointment or dismissal, or the passage of resolutions refusing the reappointment of the Company’s independent certified public accountants to the annual general meeting of shareholders. The Audit Committee Secretariat (three people) was established to provide advice to the Audit Committee regarding the execution of its duties. Eiko Tsujiyama, chairwoman of the Audit Committee, is qualified as a certified public accountant and has extensive knowledge in finance and accounting as a professional accountant.

 

The Audit Committee engages independent certified public accountants and the responsible person in corporate audit and internal control-related departments who will report to the Audit Committee, and it evaluates the Company’s internal controls through the following processes and procedures:

 

   

The Audit Committee reviews and discusses based on the reports that it receives from the independent certified public accountants regarding whether there are any material items relating to the audit.

 

107


Table of Contents
   

The Audit Committee reviews the report related to the results of the audit and items indicated for improvement that has been prepared by the executive officer responsible for Group Internal Audit Department. The Audit Committee approves the Group Internal Audit Department’s annual audit plan. The Group Internal Audit Department agrees to fully support any inspection request the Audit Committee may issue.

 

   

The Audit Committee engages in discussions on material risk control, after it receives explanations from the heads of internal control related department.

 

Under the Company with Committees board model, the directors who compose the Audit Committee are not permitted to be executive officers, executive directors, managers, any other employees or accounting counselors (kaikei san-yo) of the Company or its subsidiaries. Under the Company with Committees board model, the Audit Committee generally has powers and duties to monitor the performance of the directors and executive officers in the performance of their responsibilities, as well as the right to propose the appointment or dismissal, or to pass resolutions for refusing reappointment of the Company’s independent certified public accountants at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Any proposal for appointment or dismissal of a certified public accountant needs to be submitted to a general meeting of shareholders for approval. In furtherance of its responsibilities, the Audit Committee has the power to request a report of business operations from any director, executive officer, manager or other employee at any time, and to inspect for itself the details of the Company’s business operations and financial condition.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee has the authority to set the policy for determining compensation for directors and executive officers in accordance with the Companies Act of Japan and to set the specific compensation for each individual director and executive officer. Director and executive officer compensation information is disclosed in accordance with the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

 

The Compensation Committee sets the following “Policy of Determining Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers.”

 

Policy of Determining Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Our business objective is to increase shareholder value over the medium and long term. We believe in each director and executive officer responsibly performing his or her duties and in the importance of cooperation among different business units in order to achieve continued growth of ORIX Group. The Compensation Committee believes that in order to accomplish such business objectives, directors and executive officers should place emphasis not only on performance during the current fiscal year, but also on medium- and long-term results. Accordingly, under the basic policy that compensation should provide effective incentives, we take such factors into account when making decisions regarding the compensation system and compensation levels for our directors and executive officers. Taking into consideration this basic policy, we have established separate policies for the compensation of directors and that of executive officers in accordance with their respective roles.

 

Compensation Policy for Directors

 

The compensation policy for directors who are not also executive officers aims for a level and composition of compensation that is effective in maintaining supervisory and oversight functions of executive officers’ performance in business operations, which is the main duty of directors. Specifically, while aiming to maintain competitive compensation standards, our compensation structure consists of a fixed compensation component based on duties performed, and a shares component of compensation.

 

Fixed compensation is, in principal, a certain amount that is added to the compensation of the chairperson and member of each committee. Share-based compensation reflecting medium- to long-term performance is

 

108


Table of Contents

granted based on the number of points earned by the individual while in office, and the amount of the payment is decided according to the share price at the time of an individual director’s retirement. In addition, the Company strives to maintain a competitive level of compensation with director compensation according to the role fulfilled, and receives third-party research reports on compensation for this purpose.

 

The shares component of compensation is a program in which points are annually allocated to directors and executive officers based upon prescribed standards while in offices, and the compensation provided is the amount equal to the accumulated number of points multiplied by the stock price at the time of retirement. Points granted to the members of each position are determined based on title and seniority in accordance with guidelines set by the Compensation Committee. Under this program, directors and executive officers have an obligation to purchase shares from the Company at the stock price that prevails at the time of their retirement using the after-tax compensation provided. The Compensation Committee has not set a fixed term in which directors and executive officers must retain the shares after their retirement. The Compensation Committee may restrict the awarding of stock-based compensation to directors and executive officers in the event that they engage in inappropriate behavior while in office that would inflict harm on the Company.

 

Compensation Policy for Executive Officers

 

The compensation policy for executive officers, including those who are also directors, aims for a level of compensation that is effective in maintaining business operation functions, while incorporating in its composition a component that is linked to current period business performance. Specifically, while aiming to maintain competitive compensation standards, our compensation structure consists of a fixed compensation component based on positions and duties performed, a performance-linked component, and a shares component of compensation as described above.

 

Fixed compensation is decided for each individual based on a standard amount for each position. Compensation linked to business performance uses the level of achievement of the net income target as a performance indicator, adjusting the level-based standard amount within the range of 0% to 200%. Share-based compensation reflecting medium- to long-term performance is granted as a certain number of points based on a standard amount for each position while in office, and the amount of the payment is decided according to the share price at the time of an individual executive officer’s retirement. In addition, and based on the outcome of a third-party compensation research agency investigation, the Company strives to maintain a competitive level of compensation with executive officer compensation functioning as an effective incentive.

 

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE

 

ORIX Group must appoint independent certified public accountants, who have the statutory duty of examining the nonconsolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”). The independent certified public accountants must present an auditor’s report to the Audit Committee and the executive officers specified by the board of directors. The independent certified public accountants are also responsible for auditing financial statements that are submitted to the Kanto Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance (“Kanto Local Finance Bureau”). The board of directors is required to submit the audited consolidated and nonconsolidated financial information to the annual general meeting of shareholders, and this information is also required to be submitted to the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Kanto Local Finance Bureau.

 

Presently, our independent certified public accountants are KPMG AZSA LLC. The independence of KPMG AZSA LLC has been evaluated by our Audit Committee.

 

In addition to the nonconsolidated financial statements that are prepared under Japanese GAAP, we also prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP consolidated financial

information is used by management for evaluating our performance and forms the basis for presentation of financial information to our shareholders. The consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are included in this annual report filed with the SEC have been audited by KPMG AZSA LLC, which is registered with the PCAOB in the United States.

 

In the opinion of management, the provision of non-audit services did not impair the independence of KPMG AZSA LLC.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

Under the “Company with Committees” board model, and within the scope of laws and ordinances, corporate decisions reached at the board of directors meeting are delegated to the executive officers to accelerate and achieve efficiency of the operation. The representative executive officer makes our important business execution decisions after deliberations by the Investment and Credit Committee (“ICC”) in accordance with the various regulations of the Company. The business execution duties of executive officers are decided by the board of directors and the representative executive officer and these duties are carried out based upon the various regulations of the Company. Group executives are appointed by the board of directors from among directors and executive officers of Group companies.

 

Important decision-making related to business execution, monitoring, discussions, and information sharing is carried out by the following bodies:

 

Investment and Credit Committee

 

The ICC, which includes members of top management and the executive officer in charge of investment and credit, meets on average three times a month primarily to deliberate and decide on credit transactions and investments that exceed certain specified investment or credit amounts, important matters related to management of the Company and matters that have been entrusted to executive officers by the board of directors. Matters considered crucial to our operations are decided by the ICC and reported to the board of directors as appropriate.

 

Group Executive Officer Committee

 

The Meetings of the Group Executive Officer Committee, in which executive officers and group executives of the Company participate, are held on a monthly basis to share important information related to the business execution of ORIX Group.

Table of Contents

Monthly Strategy Meetings

 

Monthly Strategy Meetings include meetings between top management and the individuals in charge of individual departments and business units to discuss matters such as the state of achievement of strategic targets and changes in the business environment. Matters of key importance discussed at Monthly Strategy Meetings are deliberated and decided by the ICC and reported to the board of directors as necessary.

 

Information Technology Management Committee

 

The Information Technology Management Committee includes members of the top management and the executive officer in charge of information technology (“IT”) systems, and meets once a month to deliberate and approve important matters concerning fundamental policies for IT operations and IT systems. The committee determines the needs of and priorities for IT investment based on ORIX Group’s fundamental IT strategies. This method enables ORIX to ensure that IT decisions are consistent with its business strategies. Furthermore, this enables ORIX to pursue its goal of making IT investments that contribute to business growth and help reduce risk.

 

Disclosure Committee

 

The Disclosure Committee, which plays a key role in our disclosure control, is chaired by the CFO and consists of the executive officers in charge of various departments, including: Treasury Headquarters, Accounting Headquarters, Risk Management Headquarters, Group Compliance Department, Human Resources and Corporate Administration Headquarters, Corporate Planning Department and Corporate Communications Department. Upon receiving material information from an executive officer of ORIX Group or the person in charge of an ORIX Group company department, the committee discusses whether or not any timely disclosure is necessary, and takes steps to provide appropriate disclosure of such information.

EMPLOYEES

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had 25,977 full-time employees, compared to 19,043 as of March 31, 2013 and 17,488 as of March 31, 2012. We employ 2,317 staff in the Corporate Financial Services segment, 2,670 staff in the Maintenance Leasing segment, 4,277 staff in the Real Estate segment, 7,482 staff in the Investment and Operation segment, 1,629 staff in the Retail segment, 6,414 staff in the Overseas Business segment and 1,188 staff as part of our headquarters function as of March 31, 2014. With the exception of the Overseas

Table of Contents

Business segment, all other staff are located in Japan. As of March 31, 2014, we had 18,411 temporary employees. Some of our employees are represented by a union. We consider our labor relations to be excellent.

 

The mandatory retirement age for our employees is 65, but for our subsidiaries and affiliates the retirement age varies. ORIX and major domestic subsidiaries introduced a system for retirement at age 65 from April 2014. By implementing the system alongside the current re-employment system at retirement age, the system will allow employees to choose how they will work from age 60 according to their lifestyles. In April 2010, ORIX introduced an early voluntary retirement program that is available to ORIX employees who are at least 45 years old. Employees who take advantage of this program receive their accrued retirement package plus an incentive premium.

 

ORIX and some of its subsidiaries have established contributory and noncontributory funded pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. The contributory funded pension plans include defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump sum payments at the time of termination of their employment or, if enrollment period requirements have been met, to pension payments. Defined benefit pension plans consist of a cash balance plan and a plan in which the amount of the payments are determined on the basis of length of service and remuneration at the time of termination. Our funding policy in respect of these plans is to contribute annually the amounts actuarially determined to be required. Assets of the plans are invested primarily in interest-bearing securities and marketable equity securities. In July 2004, ORIX introduced a defined contribution pension program. In November 2004, we received permission from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to transfer the substitutional portion of benefit obligation from our employer pension fund to the government and these assets were transferred back to the government in March 2005. Total costs (termination or pension plans for both employees and directors and corporate auditors) charged to income for all benefit plans (including defined benefit plans) were ¥4,614 million, ¥4,952 million and ¥6,478 million in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

SHARE OWNERSHIP

 

As of June 26, 2014, the directors, executive officers and group executives of the Company directly held an aggregate of 534,151Shares, representing 0.04% of the total Shares issued as of such date.

 

COMPENSATION

 

To ensure greater management transparency, we established the executive nomination and compensation committee in June 1999. Its functions included recommending executive remuneration. With the adoption of a “Company with Committees” board model in June 2003, the committee was replaced with separate Nominating and Compensation Committees. For discussion of these committees, see “Item 6—Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Nominating Committee” and “—Compensation Committee.”

 

In June 2003, with our adoption of the “Company with Committees” board model, ORIX terminated its program for retirement payments to directors and corporate auditors. In connection with the termination of this system, shareholders approved payments of an aggregate maximum amount of ¥3,250 million to directors and ¥50 million to corporate auditors for accumulated payments. The amount, timing and method of payment was approved for each director and corporate auditor by the then newly established Compensation Committee. The payments to individual directors and corporate auditors were based on the length of service and remuneration at the time of termination.

In June 2005, we introduced a share component of compensation. The total number of points granted to directors, executive officers and group executives for fiscal 2014 is equivalent to 399,000 points. Under this system, ¥127 million, which is equivalent to 93,250 points accumulated up to the time of retirement, was paid to executive officers and group executive who retired during fiscal 2014. As a result, the balance to directors, executive officers and group executives as of March 31, 2014 was 2,043,542 points.

 

Compensation for Yoshihiko Miyauchi, Senior Chairman of ORIX(formerly Representative Executive Officer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ORIX), for fiscal 2014 was ¥165 million in fixed compensation and ¥48 million in compensation linked to the performance of the Company. Compensation for Makoto Inoue, Representative Executive Officer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ORIX, for fiscal 2014 was ¥91 million in fixed compensation and ¥36 million in compensation linked to the performance of the Company.

 

In addition, in June 2005 we established guidelines for ownership of our shares for directors, executive officers and group executives.

 

There are no service contracts between any of our directors, executive officers or group executives and the Company or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of employment.

 

The following table shows the names of directors, executive officers and group executives who received stock options, and the numbers of Shares for which they were granted options, under the stock option plans for each year from 2004 to 2008.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

We have adopted various incentive plans including a stock option plan. The purpose of our stock option plan is to enhance the awareness of the option holders of the link between management, corporate performance and stock price, and, in this way, improve our business results. These plans are administered by the Human Resources Department of ORIX. For further discussion of the stock-based compensation, see Note 19 in “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

Our shareholders approved stock option plans at the annual general meetings of shareholders in the years from 1997 to 2000 inclusive, under which Shares were purchased from the open market and were held by ORIX for transfer to directors and executive officers and some employees of ORIX upon the exercise of their options. Shareholders also approved a stock subscription rights plan in 2001 and stock acquisition rights plans from 2002 to 2005. From 2006 to 2008, the Compensation Committee approved stock acquisition rights plans for our directors and executive officers, and shareholders approved similar plans for certain ORIX employees, as well as directors, executives and certain employees of our subsidiaries and affiliates. From 2009 to 2014, no stock option plans were adopted for our directors, executive officers, employees, or those of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

 

Options granted under stock option plans generally expire one year after the termination of the option holder’s service with ORIX Group.

Our business relationships with these companies and individuals cover many of the financial services we provide our clients generally. We believe that we conduct our business with these companies and individuals in the normal course and on terms equivalent to those that would exist if they did not have equity holdings in us, if they were not our key management personnel, or if we or our key management personnel did not have significant influence over them, as the case may be. None of these transactions is or was material to us or, to our knowledge, to the other party.

There are no outstanding loans (including guarantees of any kind) made by us or any of our subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any of the persons listed in clauses (i) through (v) in the foregoing paragraph other than those listed in the table below.

TOKYO STOCK EXCHANGE

 

The primary market for the Shares is the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Shares have been traded on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange since 1973.

 

The following table shows the reported high and low closing sales prices of the Shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, excluding off-floor transactions. High and low sales price quotations from the Tokyo Stock Exchange have been translated in each case into dollars per ADS at the noon buying rate for yen expressed in yen per $1.00 in New York City for cable transfer in foreign currencies on the relevant date or the noon buying rate for yen on the next business day if the relevant date is not a New York business day. On April 1, 2013, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of common stock held by shareholders registered on the Company’s register of shareholders as of March 31, 2013. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per one ADS to five underlying shares per one ADS. In the following tables and elsewhere in this document unless indicated otherwise, numbers of shares of ORIX’s common stock, per share, including price per share, information for ORIX’s common stock and ORIX’s ADS information in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split on April 1, 2013.

Directors and Board of Directors, and Committees

 

There shall be no less than three directors of the Company (Article 16). The term of office of a director is for one (1) year and expires upon conclusion of the annual General Meeting of Shareholders relating to the last fiscal year ending within one year after election of director (Article 18). Resolutions of the Board of Directors are adopted by a majority vote of the directors present at a meeting attended by a majority of the directors who may participate in making resolutions (Article 21).

 

There is no provision in our Articles of Incorporation as to a director’s power to vote on a proposal or arrangement in which the director is materially interested, but, under the Companies Act or Regulations of the board of directors, the director must refrain from voting on such matters at meetings of the board of directors. Under the Companies Act, the board of directors may, by resolution, delegate to the executive officers its authority to make decisions with regard to certain important matters, including the incurrence by ORIX of a significant amount of loan, prescribed by law.

 

We are required to maintain a Nominating Committee, an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee (Article 10). The Compensation Committee sets the specific compensation for each individual director and executive officer based on the policy for determining compensation for directors and executive officers (see Item 6). No member of the Compensation Committee may vote on a resolution with respect to his or her own compensation as a director.

 

Neither the Companies Act nor our Articles of Incorporation includes special provisions as to the retirement age of directors, or a requirement to hold any shares of capital stock of ORIX to qualify him or her as a director of ORIX.

 

Stock

 

Our authorized share capital is 2,590,000,000 shares. Currently our Articles of Incorporation provide only for the issuance of shares of common stock. All shares of capital stock of us have no par value. All issued shares are fully-paid and non-assessable.

 

Unless shareholders’ approval is required as described in “Voting Rights,” the shares will be issued under a resolution approved by the board of directors and a decision made by the executive officer under delegation by the board of directors.

 

For changes in the number of shares issued for the past three fiscal years, see Note 21 of “Item 18. Financial Statements”.

 

Under the Law Concerning Book-Entry Transfer of Corporate Bonds, Shares, Etc. of Japan and regulations thereunder, or the Book-Entry Law, in Japan, every share which is listed on any of the stock exchanges in Japan shall be transferred and settled only by the central clearing system provided by Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. (“JASDEC”) and all Japanese companies listed on any Japanese stock exchange no longer issue share certificates. Shareholders of listed shares must have accounts at account management institutions to hold

 

126


Table of Contents

their shares unless such shareholder has an account at JASDEC, and any transfer of shares is effected through book entry, and title to the shares passes to the transferee at the time when the transferred number of the shares is recorded in the transferee’s account at an account managing institution under the Book-Entry Law. The holder of an account at an account managing institution is presumed to be the legal owner of the shares recorded in such account. Under the Companies Act and the Book-Entry Law, in order to assert shareholders’ rights against us, the transferee must have his or her name and address registered on our Register of Shareholders, except in limited circumstances. Foreign shareholders may file specimen signatures in lieu of seals. Nonresident shareholders are required to appoint a standing proxy in Japan or designate a mailing address in Japan. The registration of transfer and the application for reduced withholding tax on dividends can usually be handled by a standing proxy. See “Taxation—Japanese Taxation.” Japanese securities companies and commercial banks customarily will act as standing proxies and provide related services for standard fees.

 

Our transfer agent is Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, located at 4-5, Marunouchi 1-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8212, Japan.

 

In general, there are no limitations on the right to own shares of our common stock, including the rights of nonresidents or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the securities imposed under Japanese law or by our Articles of Incorporation.

 

Settlement of transactions for shares listed on any of the stock exchanges in Japan will normally be effected on the fourth trading day from and including the transaction. Settlement in Japan shall be made through JASDEC as described above.

 

Distributions of Surplus

 

Annual dividends may be distributed by us in cash to shareholders or pledgees of record as of March 31 of each year in proportion to the number of shares held by each shareholder or registered pledgee, as the case may be.

 

We may make distributions of surplus to the shareholders any number of times per fiscal year, subject to certain limitations as described below. Under our Articles of Incorporation, distributions of cash dividends need to be declared by a resolution of the board of directors. Distributions of surplus may be made in cash or in kind in proportion to the number of shares held by respective shareholders. A resolution of the board of directors authorizing a distribution of surplus must specify the kind and aggregate book value of the assets to be distributed, the manner of allocation of such assets to shareholders, and the effective date of the distribution. If a distribution of surplus is to be made in kind, we may, pursuant to a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, grant a right to the shareholders to require us to make such distribution in cash instead of in kind. If no such right is granted to shareholders, the relevant distribution of surplus must be approved by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders.

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation, if the dividends from surplus as of the last day of the fiscal year are distributed within three months for common shares, we treat the shareholders or share pledgees registered or recorded on the Register of Shareholders as of the last day of the fiscal year as the person having rights to receive such dividends. Dividends or other distributable assets shall not incur interest thereon. If the relevant distributed assets are not received within a full three years from the date on which the distribution of relevant distributed assets became effective, we may be released from its obligation to distribute such assets.

 

Under the Companies Act, when we make distributions of surplus, if the sum of our capital reserve (shihonjunbikin) and earned surplus reserve (riekijunbikin) is less than one-quarter of our stated capital, we must, until such sum reaches one-quarter of the stated capital, set aside in our capital reserve and/or earned surplus reserve an amount equal to one-tenth of the amount of surplus so distributed as required by ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

127


Table of Contents

The amount of surplus at any given time must be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

A + B + C + D – (E + F + G)

 

In the above formula:

 

  “A” = the total amount of other capital surplus and other earnings surplus, each such amount being that appearing on our nonconsolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year;

 

  “B” = (if we have disposed of our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of the consideration for such treasury stock received by us less the book value thereof;

 

  “C” = (if we have reduced our stated capital after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of such reduction less the portion thereof that has been transferred to capital reserve or earned surplus reserve (if any);

 

  “D” = (if we have reduced our capital reserve or earned surplus reserve after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of such reduction less the portion thereof that has been transferred to stated capital (if any);

 

  “E” = (if we have cancelled our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the book value of such treasury stock;

 

  “F” = (if we have distributed surplus to our shareholders after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of the assets distributed to shareholders by way of such distribution of surplus;

 

  “G” = certain other amounts set forth in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, including (if we have reduced surplus and increased stated capital, capital reserve or earned surplus reserve after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of such reduction and (if we have distributed surplus to our shareholders after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount set aside in capital reserve or earned surplus reserve (if any) as required by ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

Under the Companies Act, the aggregate book value of surplus distributed by us may not exceed a prescribed distributable amount, as calculated on the effective date of such distribution. Our distributable amount at any given time shall be the amount of surplus less the aggregate of: (a) the book value of our treasury stock; (b) the amount of consideration for any of our treasury stock disposed of by us after the end of the last fiscal year; and (c) certain other amounts set forth in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, including (if the total of the one-half of goodwill and the deferred assets exceeds the total of stated capital, capital reserve and earned surplus reserve, each such amount being that appearing on our nonconsolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year) all or certain part of such exceeding amount as calculated in accordance with the ordinances of the Ministry of Justice. If we have opted to become a company that applies the restriction on distributable amounts on a consolidated basis (renketsu haito kisei tekiyo kaisha), we will further deduct from the amount of surplus a certain amount which is calculated based on our nonconsolidated and consolidated balance sheets as of the end of the last fiscal year as provided in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

If we have prepared interim financial statements as described below after the end of the last fiscal year, and if such interim financial statements have been approved by our board of directors or (if so required) by a general meeting of our shareholders, then the distributable amount must be adjusted to take into account the amount of profit or loss as set forth in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice, and the amount of consideration for any of our treasury stock disposed of by us, during the period in respect of which such interim financial statements have been prepared. Under the Companies Act, we are permitted to prepare nonconsolidated interim financial statements consisting of a balance sheet as of any date subsequent to the end of the last fiscal year and an income statement for the period from the first day of the current fiscal year to the date of such balance sheet. Interim financial statements prepared by us must be reviewed by our independent auditors, as required by an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice.

 

128


Table of Contents

In Japan, the ex-dividend date and the record date for dividends precede the date of determination of the amount of the dividend to be paid. The price of the shares generally goes ex-dividend on the second business day prior to the record date.

 

Capital and Reserves

 

When we issue new shares, the amount of the cash or assets paid or contributed by subscribers for the new shares (with some exceptions) is required to be accounted for as stated capital, although we may account for an amount not exceeding one-half of the cash or assets as capital reserve by resolutions of the board of directors.

 

We may at any time transfer the whole or any part of our additional paid-in capital and legal reserve to stated capital by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. The whole or any part of surplus which may be distributed as annual dividends may also be transferred to stated capital by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. We may, by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders (in the case of the reduction of stated capital, a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders, see “Voting Rights”) reduce stated capital, additional paid-in capital and/or legal reserve.

 

Stock Splits

 

We may at any time split the shares into a greater number of shares by resolution of the board of directors. When the board of directors resolves on the split of shares, it may also amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to be issued in proportion to the relevant stock split. We must give public notice of the stock split, specifying the record date therefore, not less than two weeks prior to such record date.

 

On October 26, 2012, the board of directors adopted a resolution on a ten-for-one stock split, effective as of April 1, 2013. The record date for the stock was one day prior to the effective date of the stock split. Our Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized share capital to cover the number of shares increased by the stock split, which amendment became effective simultaneously with the effectiveness of the stock split.

 

Unit Share System

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that one hundred shares constitute one “unit” of shares. The number of shares constituting a unit may be altered by amending our Articles of Incorporation. The number of shares constituting a unit is not permitted to exceed 1,000 shares.

 

A shareholder may not exercise shareholders’ rights in relation to any shares that it holds that are less than one unit other than the rights set forth below under the Companies Act and the Articles of Incorporation.

 

  (i) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc., when the Company distributes the money, etc. in exchange for acquiring one class of shares subject to terms under which the Company shall acquire all of such class shares;

 

  (ii) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc., in exchange for acquisition of shares subject to terms under which the Company shall acquire such shares;

 

  (iii) The right to receive allocation of shares when the Company allocates its shares without having a shareholder make new payment;

 

  (iv) The right to demand that the Company purchase shares that are less than one Unit held by the shareholder;

 

  (v) The right to receive distribution of remaining assets;

 

  (vi) The right to demand review of the Articles of Incorporation and the Register of Shareholders and delivery of their copies or a document describing registered matters, etc.;

 

129


Table of Contents
  (vii) The right to demand registration or recordation of matters to be registered or recorded on the Register of Shareholders when the shareholder acquired the shares;

 

  (viii) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc. pursuant to reverse stock split, stock split, allocation of stock acquisition right for free (which means that the Company allocates its stock acquisition right without having a shareholder make new payment), distribution of dividends from retained earnings or change of corporate organization;

 

  (ix) The right to receive the distribution of money, etc. to be distributed pursuant to merger, share exchange or share-transfer effected by the Company;

 

  (x) The right to subscribe to Offering Shares and Offering Stock Acquisition Rights on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares held by the shareholder; and

 

  (xi) The right to demand that the Company sell to the shareholder the number of additional shares necessary to make the number of shares of less than one Unit held by the shareholder, equal to one Unit.

 

Under the book-entry transfer system operated by JASDEC, shares constituting less than one unit are generally transferable. Under the rules of the Japanese stock exchanges, however, shares constituting less than one unit do not comprise a trading unit, except in limited circumstances, and accordingly may not be sold on the Japanese stock exchanges.

 

A holder of shares constituting less than one unit may require us to purchase such shares at their market value in accordance with the provisions of our Share Handling Regulations. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that a holder of shares constituting less than one unit may request us to sell to such holder such amount of shares which will, when added together with the shares constituting less than one unit held by such holder, constitute one unit of shares, in accordance with the provisions of the Share Handling Regulations.

 

General Meetings of Shareholders

 

The ordinary general meeting of our shareholders is usually held in Tokyo in June of each year. In addition, we may hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders whenever necessary. Notice of a shareholders’ meeting stating the place, time and purpose thereof must be dispatched to each shareholder (or, in the case of a nonresident shareholder, to its resident proxy or mailing address in Japan) having voting rights at least two weeks prior to the date of such meeting. The record date for an ordinary general meeting of shareholders is March 31 of each year. General meetings of shareholders can be called by a director pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors.

 

Any shareholder or group of shareholders with at least 3.0% of the total number of voting rights for a period of six months or longer may require the convocation of a general meeting of shareholders for a particular purpose by showing such a purpose and reason for convocation to one of our directors. Unless such shareholders’ meeting is convened promptly or a convocation notice of a meeting which is to be held not later than eight weeks from the day of such demand is dispatched, the requiring shareholder may, upon obtaining a court approval, convene such shareholders’ meeting.

 

Any shareholder or group of shareholders holding at least 300 voting rights or 1.0% of the total number of voting rights for six months or longer may propose a matter to be considered at a general meeting of shareholders by submitting a written request to one of our directors at least eight weeks prior to the date of such meeting.

 

Under the Companies Act, any of minimum percentages, time periods and number of voting rights necessary for exercising the minority shareholder rights described above may be decreased or shortened if the articles of incorporation of a joint stock corporation so provide.

Table of Contents

Voting Rights

 

A holder of shares constituting one or more units is entitled to one vote for each unit. However, we do not have voting rights with respect to our own shares and if we directly or indirectly own 25% or more of voting rights of a corporate or other entity which is a shareholder, such corporate shareholder cannot exercise its voting rights. Except as otherwise provided by law or in our Articles of Incorporation, a resolution can be adopted at a general meeting of shareholders by a majority of the number of voting rights represented at the meeting. The quorum for election of directors is one-third of the total number of voting rights. Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our shareholders may exercise their voting rights through proxies, provided that the proxies are also shareholders having voting rights.

 

Under the Companies Act and our Articles of Incorporation, any amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (except for certain amendments, see “Stock Splits”) and certain other instances require approval by a “special resolution” of shareholders, where the quorum is one-third of the total number of voting rights and the approval by at least two-thirds of the number of voting rights represented at the meeting is required. Other instances requiring such a “special resolution” include (i) the reduction of its stated capital, (ii) the removal of a director, (iii) the dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, merger and corporate split or (iv) the formation of a parent company by way of share exchange or share transfer, (v) the transfer of the whole or a substantial part of its business, (vi) the acquisition of the whole business of another company, (vii) the issue to persons other than the shareholders of new shares at a “specially favorable” price or the issue or transfer to persons other than the shareholders of stock acquisition rights (including those incorporated in bonds with stock acquisition rights) under “specially favorable” conditions, (vii) consolidation of shares and (ix) acquisition of its own shares from a specific party other than its subsidiaries.

 

Subscription Right

 

Holders of the shares have no pre-emptive rights. The board of directors may, however, determine that shareholders be given subscription rights to new shares, in which case such rights must be given on uniform terms to all shareholders as of a record date of which not less than two weeks’ prior public notice must be given. The issue price of such new shares must be paid in full.

 

Stock Acquisition Rights

 

We may issue stock acquisition rights (shinkabu yoyakuken) and bonds with stock acquisition rights (shinkabu yoyakuken-tsuki shasai). Except where the issue would be on “specially favorable” conditions, the issue of stock acquisition rights or bonds with stock acquisition rights may be authorized by a resolution of the board of directors. Upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights, the holder of such rights may acquire shares by way of payment of the applicable exercise price or, if so determined by a resolution of the board of directors, by way of substitute payments in lieu of redemption of the bonds. If our Articles of Incorporation prohibit us from delivering shares, it will pay a cash payment equal to the market value of the shares.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of our liquidation, the assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes will be distributed among shareholders in proportion to the respective number of shares which they hold.

 

Reports to Shareholders

 

We currently furnish to our shareholders notices of shareholders’ meetings, annual business reports, including financial statements, and notices of resolutions adopted at the shareholders’ meetings, all of which are in Japanese. Public notice shall be electronic public notice, provided, however, that if the Company is unable to give an electronic public notice due to an accident or any other unavoidable reason, public notices of the Company shall be given in the “Nihon Keizai Shinbun.”

Record Date of Register of Shareholders

 

As stated above, March 31 is the record date for the payment of annual dividends and the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders. In addition, we may set a record date for determining the shareholders entitled to other rights and for other purposes by giving at least two weeks’ prior public notice. Under the Book-Entry Law, JASDEC is required to give us a notice of the names and addresses of the shareholders, the number of shares held by them and other relevant information as of each such record date, and the register of our shareholders shall be updated accordingly.

 

Repurchase of Own Shares

 

We may acquire our shares, including shares of our common stock: (i) by way of purchase on any Japanese stock exchange or by way of tender offer (pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors); (ii) from a specific shareholder other than any of our subsidiaries (pursuant to a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders); or (iii) from any of our subsidiaries (pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors).

 

In the case of (ii) above, any other shareholder of such class may make a request to a director, at least five days prior to the relevant shareholders’ meeting, to include such shareholder as a seller in the proposed purchase. However, no such right will be available if the relevant class of shares is listed on any Japanese stock exchange and the purchase price or any other consideration to be received by the relevant specific shareholder does not exceed the then market price of the shares calculated in a manner set forth in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

 

Any such acquisition of our shares must satisfy certain requirements that the total amount of the purchase price may not exceed the distributable amount, as described in “—Distributions of Surplus.” We may hold our shares acquired in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, and may generally cancel such shares by a resolution of the board of directors, although the disposal of such shares is subject to the same proceedings for the issuance of new shares, in general.

 

Stock Options

 

Under the Companies Act, a stock option plan is available by issuing stock acquisition rights.

 

Generally, a stock option plan may be adopted by a resolution of the board directors. However, if the conditions of such stock acquisition rights are “specially favorable,” a special resolution at a general meeting of shareholders is required. The special resolution must set forth the class and number of shares to be issued or transferred on exercise of the options, the exercise price, the exercise period and other terms of the options.

 

MATERIAL CONTRACTS

 

None.

 

FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND OTHER REGULATIONS

 

Foreign Exchange

 

The Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law of Japan, as amended, and the cabinet orders and ministerial ordinances thereunder (the “Foreign Exchange Regulations”) govern the acquisition and holding of shares of capital stock of ORIX by “exchange nonresidents” and by “foreign investors” (as defined below). The Foreign Exchange Regulations currently in effect do not, however, regulate transactions between exchange nonresidents who purchase or sell shares outside Japan for non-Japanese currencies.

 

“Exchange nonresidents” are defined as individuals who are not resident in Japan and corporations whose principal offices are located outside Japan. Generally, the branch and other offices of nonresident corporations

Table of Contents

located within Japan are regarded as residents of Japan and branch and other offices of Japanese corporations located outside Japan are regarded as exchange nonresidents. “Foreign investors” are defined to be (i) individuals who are exchange nonresidents, (ii) corporations which are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside Japan, and (iii) corporations (1) of which 50% or more of their voting rights are held, directly or indirectly, by (i) and/or (ii) or (2) a majority of the officers (or officers having the power of representation) of which are nonresident individuals.

 

In general, the acquisition of a Japanese company’s stock shares (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) by an exchange nonresident from a resident of Japan is not subject to any prior filing requirements. In certain limited circumstances, however, prior notification or report to the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers for an acquisition of this type may be required. While prior notification, as described above, is not required, in the case where a resident of Japan transfers shares of a Japanese company (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) for consideration exceeding \100 million to an exchange nonresident, the resident of Japan who transfers the shares is required to report the transfer to the Minister of Finance within 20 days from the date of the transfer, unless the transfer was made through a bank, securities company or financial future trader licensed under the Japanese laws.

 

If a foreign investor acquires shares of a Japanese company listed on a Japanese stock exchange (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) or that are traded on an over-the-counter market in Japan and as a result of the acquisition the foreign investor in combination with any existing holdings directly or indirectly holds 10% or more of the issued shares of the relevant company, the foreign investor is, in general, required to report such acquisition to the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers by the 15th day of the calendar month following the date of such acquisition. In certain exceptional cases, prior notification is required with respect to such an acquisition.

 

The acquisition of shares by exchange nonresidents by way of stock split is not subject to the foregoing notification requirements.

 

Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, dividends paid on, and the proceeds of sales in Japan of, Shares held by nonresidents of Japan may in general be converted into any foreign currency and repatriated abroad.

 

Large Shareholdings Report

 

The Financial Instruments and Exchange Act requires any person who has become, beneficially and solely or jointly, a holder of more than 5% of the total issued shares of capital stock of a company listed on any Japanese financial instruments exchange (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) or whose shares are traded on the over-the-counter markets in Japan, to file with the Prime Minister within five business days a report concerning such shareholdings. An alteration report must also be made in respect of any subsequent change of 1% or more in any such holding or any change in material matters set out in reports previously filed, with certain exceptions. For this purpose, shares issuable to such person upon his exchange of exchangeable securities or exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights are taken into account in determining both the size of his holding and the issuer’s total issued share capital.

 

Filing of Share Acquisition Plan

 

The Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade requires any company (including a foreign company) which crosses certain domestic sales thresholds and newly acquires a holder of more than 20% or 50% of the total issued voting shares of capital stock (such as the shares of capital stock of ORIX) or the shares of a company (including a foreign company) which meets certain conditions, to file a share acquisition plan concerning such shares with the Fair Trade Commission at least 30 days prior to the closing or the acquisition.

DIVIDEND POLICY AND DIVIDENDS

 

ORIX has paid dividends on the Shares on an annual basis in each year since 1967. With the adoption of a “Company with Committees” board model in June 2003, the board of directors has been responsible for setting the annual dividend per common share since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The board of directors approves annual dividends at the board of directors’ meeting customarily held in May of each year. Following such approval, dividends are paid to holders of record as of the preceding March 31.

 

The following table shows the amount of dividends applicable to fiscal year per Share for each of the fiscal years indicated, which amounts are translated into dollars per ADS at the noon buying rate for Japanese yen in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies on the relevant dividend payment date as published by the Federal Reserve Bank. On April 1, 2013, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of common stock held by shareholders registered on the Company’s register of shareholders as of March 31, 2013. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per one ADS to five underlying shares per one ADS. In the following tables and elsewhere in this document unless indicated otherwise, numbers of shares of ORIX’s common stock, per share, including price per share, information for ORIX’s common stock and ORIX’s ADS information in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split on April 1, 2013.

ORIX aims to increase shareholder value by utilizing the profits earned from its business activities, primarily as retained earnings, to strengthen its business foundation and to invest for growth. At the same time, ORIX will make steady and sustainable distribution of dividends that reflect its business performance.

 

Regarding share buybacks, ORIX will take into account the adequate level of retained earnings and act flexibly and accordingly by considering the factors such as changes in the economic environment, trend in stock prices, and the company’s financial condition.

 

In line with the profit growth, the annual dividend was raised to 23 yen per share from 13 yen per share in fiscal 2014 (annual dividends from the fiscal 2010 to 2013 have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the stock split on April 1, 2013). Dividend distribution is scheduled once a year as a year-end dividend.

 

Pursuant to the amendment to the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation, dividends paid to U.S. Holders of Shares or ADSs are generally subject to a Japanese withholding tax. The tax rate can be found in “Item 10 TAXATION, JAPANESE TAXATION—Shares”.

TAXATION

 

JAPANESE TAXATION

 

The following is a summary of the principal Japanese tax consequences for owners of the Shares or ADSs who are nonresident individuals of Japan or non-Japanese corporations without a permanent establishment in Japan (“nonresident Holders”). The statements regarding Japanese tax laws set forth below are based on the laws in force and as interpreted by the Japanese taxation authorities as of the date hereof and are subject to changes in the applicable Japanese laws or conventions for the avoidance of double taxation occurring after that date. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations that may apply to a particular investor and potential investors are advised to consult with their own tax advisors to satisfy themselves as to:

 

   

the overall tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Shares or ADSs, including specifically the tax consequences under Japanese law;

 

   

the laws of the jurisdiction of which they are resident; and

 

   

any tax treaty between Japan and their country of residence.

 

Shares

 

Generally, a nonresident Holder is subject to Japanese withholding tax on dividends on Shares or ADSs paid by us. Stock splits are not subject to Japanese income or corporation tax.

 

Pursuant to the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation and the Act on Special Measures Concerning the Securing of Financial Resources for Reconstruction Measures Involving the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Japanese withholding tax rate applicable to dividends on Shares or ADSs paid to nonresident Holders by us is (i) 7% for dividends due and payable on or before December 31, 2012, (ii) 7.147% for dividends due and payable on or after January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, and (iii) 15.315% for dividends due and payable on or after January 1, 2014. However, where an individual nonresident Holder who holds 3% or more of the total number of shares issued by us, the withholding tax rate applicable will be (i) 20% for dividends due and payable on or before December 31, 2012, and (ii) 20.42% for dividends due and payable on or after January 1, 2013. Japan has entered into income tax treaties, conventions and agreements where this withholding tax rate is, in some cases, reduced to a lower percentage for portfolio investors. Nonresident Holders who are entitled under an applicable treaty, convention, or agreement to this reduced Japanese withholding tax rate are required to submit an Application Form for the Income Tax Convention regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax on Dividends in advance through us to the relevant Japanese tax authority before the payment of dividends. A standing proxy for a nonresident Holder may provide such application service. Nonresident Holders who do not submit an application in advance will be entitled to claim the refund from the relevant Japanese tax authority of those withholding taxes withheld in excess of the rate of an applicable tax treaty.

 

The Convention between the United States of America and Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “Tax Convention”) provides for a maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax which may be imposed on dividends paid to an eligible United States resident not having a permanent establishment in Japan. Under the Tax Convention, the maximum withholding rate is generally limited to 10% of the relevant dividends.

 

Gains derived from the sale outside Japan of Shares or ADSs by a nonresident Holder, are, in general, not subject to Japanese income or corporation taxes.

 

Japanese inheritance and gift taxes, at progressive rates, may be payable by an individual who has acquired Shares or ADSs as a legatee, heir or donee.

UNITED STATES TAXATION

 

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of Shares or ADSs held as capital assets by U.S. Holders (described below).

 

This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a U.S. holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances (including the application of the provisions of the code known as the Medicare Contribution Tax) or to holders subject to special rules, such as:

 

   

certain financial institutions;

 

   

insurance companies;

 

   

dealers and traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;

 

   

persons holding Shares or ADSs as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction;

 

   

persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

tax-exempt entities, including “individual retirement accounts” and “Roth IRAs”;

 

   

persons that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company;

 

   

persons holding the shares or ADSs in connection with a trade or business carried on outside the United States; or

 

   

persons who acquired Shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation.

 

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding Shares or ADSs and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of Shares or ADSs.

 

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, and the Tax Convention, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this annual report may affect the tax consequences described herein. It is also based in part on representations by the depositary and assumes that each obligation under the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

 

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Shares or ADSs that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof; or

 

   

an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

 

We believe that we will be a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the year to which this annual report relates and for the foreseeable future by reason of the composition of our assets and the nature of our income.

 

136


Table of Contents

Persons considering the purchase of Shares or ADSs should consult their tax advisors with regard to the PFIC rules described below as well as the application of other U.S. federal income tax laws relevant to their particular situations and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

 

In general, a U.S. Holder of ADSs will be treated as the owner of the underlying shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if the U.S. Holder exchanges ADSs for the underlying shares represented by those ADSs.

 

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom American depositary shares are released prior to delivery of shares to the depositary (“pre-release”), or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between U.S. Holders and the issuer of the security underlying the American depositary shares, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders of American depositary shares. Accordingly, the creditability of Japanese taxes, described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

Subject to the PFIC rules described below, distributions paid on Shares or ADSs, other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares, will generally be treated as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Because we expect to be a PFIC, dividends paid by us will not be eligible for the preferential dividend tax rate otherwise available to certain noncorporate U.S. Holders. The amount of a dividend will include any amounts withheld by us or our paying agent in respect of Japanese taxes, as discussed above under “Taxation—Japanese Taxation—Shares.” The amount of the dividend will be treated as foreign source dividend income to U.S. Holders and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code.

 

Dividends paid in yen will be included in the income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of the U.S. Holder’s (or, in the case of ADSs, the depositary’s) receipt of the dividend, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize a foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have a foreign currency gain or loss if such holder does not convert the amount of such dividend into U.S. dollars on the date of its receipt. Any foreign currency gain or loss resulting from the conversion of the yen will generally be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

 

Subject to the PFIC rules described below and to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon the U.S. Holder’s circumstances, and subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, Japanese taxes withheld from dividends on Shares or ADSs at a rate not exceeding the applicable rate provided for by the Tax Convention will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder pursuant to the Tax Convention is 10%. As discussed under “Taxation—Japanese Taxation—Shares” above, under current Japanese law, the statutory rate is higher than the maximum Tax Convention rate. Japanese taxes withheld in excess of the rate applicable under the Tax Convention will not be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances. Instead of claiming a credit, U.S. Holders may, upon election, deduct such otherwise creditable Japanese taxes in computing taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

If, as expected, we are a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Shares or ADSs, and the U.S. Holder has not made a mark-to-market election for the Shares or ADSs, as described below, the holder will be 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. Upon a disposition of Shares or ADSs (including under certain circumstances, a pledge, and under proposed Treasury regulations, a disposition pursuant to certain otherwise tax-free reorganizations) gain recognized by a U.S. Holder would be allocated ratably over its holding period for the Shares or ADSs. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other exchange and to any year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations for such year, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability allocated to such taxable year. Similar rules would apply to any distribution in respect of Shares or ADSs to the extent it exceeds 125 percent of the average of the annual distributions on Shares or ADSs received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter (any such distribution, an “excess distribution”). Any loss realized on a disposition of Shares or ADSs will be capital loss, and will be long-term capital loss if the U.S. Holder held the Shares or ADSs for more than one year. The amount of the loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares or ADSs disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. Such loss will generally be U.S.-source loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

 

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Shares or ADSs, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds Shares or ADSs, even if we cease to meet the threshold requirements for PFIC status.

 

Under certain attribution rules, if we are a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate shares of our subsidiaries that are PFICs and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax according to the rules described above on (i) certain distributions by subsidiary PFICs and (ii) a disposition of shares of a subsidiary PFIC, even though holders have not received the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions directly.

 

If the Shares or ADSs are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange,” a U.S. Holder of Shares or ADSs would be eligible to make a mark-to-market election that would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above. The Shares or ADSs will be treated as “regularly traded” in any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of the Shares or ADSs are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. A “qualified exchange” includes the NYSE on which our ADSs are traded and a foreign exchange that is regulated by a governmental authority in which the exchange is located and with respect to which certain other requirements are met. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has not yet identified specific foreign exchanges that are “qualified” for this purpose. Under current law, the mark-to market election may be available to holders of ADSs because the ADSs will be listed on the NYSE, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs will be “regularly traded” for purposes of the mark-to-market election. However, even if a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our Shares or ADSs, a U.S. Holder will not be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to any of our subsidiaries that are PFICs.

 

If a U.S. Holder is eligible and makes the mark-to-market election, the U.S. Holder will include each year, as ordinary income, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over their adjusted basis, and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). If a U.S. Holder validly makes the election, the holder’s basis in the Shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of Shares or ADSs in a year when the Company is a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income.

 

138


Table of Contents

We do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a qualified electing fund election, which is sometimes available to shareholders of a PFIC.

 

Special rules apply to determine the foreign tax credit with respect to withholding taxes imposed on excess distributions on shares in a PFIC.

 

If a U.S. Holder owns Shares or ADSs during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will generally be required to file IRS Form 8621 with their federal income tax return, subject to certain exceptions.

 

We urge U.S. Holders to consult their tax advisors concerning our status as a PFIC and the tax considerations relevant to an investment in a PFIC, including the availability and consequences of making the mark-to-market election discussed above.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

 

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals may be required to report information relating to their ownership of an interest in certain foreign financial assets, including stock of a non-U.S. person, generally on Form 8938, subject to exceptions (including an exception for financial assets held through a U.S. financial institution). Certain U.S. Holders that are entities may be subject to similar rules in the future. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding their reporting obligations with respect to the Shares or ADSs.

 

DOCUMENTS ON DISPLAY

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Act. In accordance with these requirements, we file annual reports on Form 20-F and furnish periodic reports on Form 6-K with the Commission.

 

These materials, including this annual report and the exhibits thereto, may be inspected and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room at Room 1580, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Commission’s Public Reference Room by calling the Commission in the United States at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Commission also maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and proxy information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission via EDGAR.

 

We are currently exempt from the rules under the Act that prescribe the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Act. We are not required under the Act to publish financial statements as frequently or as promptly as are U.S. companies subject to the Act. We will, however, continue to furnish our shareholders with annual reports containing audited financial statements and will issue press releases containing unaudited interim financial information as well as such other reports as may from time to time be authorized by our board of directors or as may be otherwise required.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

MARKET RISKS

 

Our primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and risk of market prices in stocks. We enter into derivative transactions to hedge interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. Our risk management for market risk exposure and derivative transactions are described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Risk Management.”

 

The following quantitative information about the market risk of our financial instruments does not include information about financial instruments to which the requirements under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) do not apply, such as investment in direct financing leases, investment in operating leases, and insurance contracts. As a result, the following information does not present all the risks of our financial instruments. We omitted the disclosure of financial instruments for trading purposes because the amount is immaterial.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Many of our assets and liabilities are composed of floating and fixed rate assets and liabilities. Movements in market interest rates affect gains and losses. Accordingly, we endeavor to reduce interest rate risk through techniques such as funding interest rate bearing assets through liabilities with similar interest rate characteristics, e.g, financing floating-rate assets with floating-rate liabilities and financing fixed-rate assets with fixed-rate liabilities.

 

We manage asset liability through various methods including conducting gains and losses impact analysis and balance sheet fair value analysis when market interest rates fluctuate, constructing balance sheets for fixed rate assets and liabilities, and those for floating rate, testing interest rate sensitivities.

 

The table of interest rate sensitivity for financial instruments summarizes installment loans, investment in securities (floating and fixed rate) and long- and short-term debt. These instruments are further classified under fixed or floating rates. For such items, the principal collection and repayment schedules and the weighted average interest rates for collected and repaid portions are disclosed. Concerning interest rate swaps, under derivative instruments, the estimated notional principal amount for each contractual period and the weighted average of swap rates are disclosed. The average interest rates of financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 were: 4.0% for installment loans, 1.4% for investment in securities (floating and fixed rate), 1.6% for long- and short-term debt and 0.4% for deposits. As of March 31, 2014, the average payment rate of interest rate swaps was 1.1% and the average receipt rate was 1.9%. The average interest rates of financial instruments as of March 31, 2013 were: 4.5% for installment loans, 1.6% for investments in securities (floating and fixed rate), 1.9% for long- and short-term debt and 0.5% for deposits. As of March 31, 2013, the average payment rate of interest rate swaps was 1.2% and the average receipt rate was 1.6%. As of March 31, 2014, there was no material change in the balance or in the average interest rate of financial instruments from March 31, 2013. The table below shows our interest rate risk exposure and the results of our interest rate sensitivity analysis.

The above table excludes “purchased loans” for which there is interest rate exposure. We acquire deteriorated credit loans at a discount for which full collection of all contractually required payments from the debtors is unlikely under ASC 310-30 (“Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”). We refer to these as “purchased loans”. It is difficult to estimate the timing and extent of collection for these loans. The total book value of our purchased loans as of March 31, 2014 was to ¥53,341 million.

 

We are also exposed to interest rate risks on life insurance policies issued by ORIX Life Insurance Corporation because policy payments we receive do not fluctuate based on changes in market interest rates. As such, changes in market interest rates may affect the fair value of these policies as well as our obligations under insurance products (based on actuarial determinations).

Exchange Rate Risk

 

We hold foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and deal in foreign currencies. It is our policy to match balances of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as a means of hedging exchange rate risk. There are, however, cases where a certain part of our foreign currency-denominated investments are not hedged for such risk.

 

Furthermore, surplus capital accumulated in foreign currencies in our overseas subsidiaries is translated to Japanese yen upon consolidation. ORIX shareholders’ equity is accordingly subject to exchange rate risk arising from such translations.

 

We identified all positions subject to a change in the value of the currency and calculated potential losses in future earnings resulting from several hypothetical scenarios experiencing 10% changes in related currencies. The largest such losses were estimated in scenarios where the euro appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar from the rate in effect on March 31, 2013 and 2014. Based on these scenarios, exchange losses in future earnings were estimated to be ¥1,382 million and ¥1,783 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Risk of Market Prices in Stocks

 

We have marketable stocks that are subject to price risk arising from changes in their market prices. Our shareholders’ equity and net income bear risks due to changes in the market prices of these securities. To manage these risks of market price fluctuations, we assume a scenario of a 10% uniform downward movement in stock prices compared with stock prices as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and under such circumstances estimate ¥8,841 million and ¥13,921 million decrease in the fair value of our equity securities as of March 31, 2013 and 2014.

PART II

 

Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies

 

None.

 

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

 

In order to improve the convenience and liquidity of our securities on exchanges where our shares are listed, in accordance with “Action Plan for Consolidating Trading Units” issued in November 2007 by the securities exchanges in Japan, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 stock split of shares of its common stock on March 31, 2013, pursuant to which one hundred shares constitutes one unit as of April 1, 2013. The change resulted is no substantive change in trading unit price levels. As a result of the stock split, the ratio of ADSs to underlying shares changed from 0.5 underlying shares per one ADS to five underlying shares per one ADS. The change has not affected ADS unit price levels or other material ADS terms.

 

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2014, the ORIX Group, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Co-Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the ORIX Group’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of management’s control objectives. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Act, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There has been no change in the ORIX Group’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The internal control over financial reporting process of the ORIX Group was designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

   

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the ORIX Group;

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the ORIX Group are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the ORIX Group’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In May 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework (the ‘2013 Framework’). The 2013 Framework is expected to supersede the 1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework on December 15, 2014 and during this transitional period, companies may continue to rely on the original Framework as a basis of their internal control. The Company plans to use the 2013 Framework for the assessment of fiscal 2015. The Company continued to evaluate its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014 by using the criteria set forth in the 1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2014.

 

The Company acquired DAIKYO INCORPORATED on February 27, 2014. The Company’s management excluded DAIKYO INCORPORATED from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, because the acquisition was consummated close to the end of this fiscal year. The total assets of 358,237 million yen associated with DAIKYO INCORPORATED were included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2014. There were no total revenues and income from continuing operations of DAIKYO INCORPORATED after acquisition included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for fiscal, 2014.

 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by KPMG AZSA LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, who also audited our financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for fiscal 2014, as stated in their attestation report which is included in Item 18 (page F-3).

 

Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our board of directors has determined that Eiko Tsujiyama is an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of the current rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Eiko Tsujiyama is “independent” as required by Section 303A.06 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

 

Item 16B. Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, last amended in April 2014, officers of ORIX covered by ORIX’s Code of Ethics are required to promptly bring to the attention of the Company’s Executive Officer of the Group Compliance Department any information concerning any violations of the Code of Ethics.

AUDIT COMMITTEE’S PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

In terms of audit services, every year the independent registered public accounting firm draws up its annual audit plan and annual budget, which is evaluated by ORIX’s Accounting Department. Subsequently, pre-approval is obtained from the Audit Committee.

 

Non-audit services are generally not obtained from the independent registered public accounting firm or its affiliates. In situations where ORIX must engage the non-audit services of the independent registered public accounting firm, preapproval is obtained from the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis only after the reason has been specified.

Item 16F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 16G. Corporate Governance

 

Our ADSs have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, since 1998. As an NYSE-listed company, we are required to comply with certain corporate governance standards under Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. However, as a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of certain provisions of Section 303A.

 

Our corporate governance practices differ in certain significant respects from those that U.S. companies must adopt in order to maintain a NYSE listing and, in accordance with Section 303A.11 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, we provide a brief, general summary of such differences.

 

The composition of our board of directors and its committees differs significantly in terms of independence from the composition requirements for boards and committees that U.S. companies must satisfy in order to maintain a NYSE listing. We are not required to meet the NYSE’s independence requirements for individuals on our board of directors or our Nominating, Audit, and Compensation Committees. Under Japanese law, a majority of the membership on our committees must be “outside directors”—a Japanese law concept that shares similarities with the U.S. concept of “independent director.” However, we are not required to include on our board of directors a majority of outside directors, nor are we required to compose our committees exclusively from outside directors. Six of our 13 directors are considered outside directors. We have adopted a written charter for our Compensation Committee that addresses committee member appointment and removal, committee structure and operations, and reporting to the board. However, our Compensation Committee has not retained, or obtained the advice of, a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser.

 

Under the Companies Act, an outside director is a director (i) who does not execute the Company’s business, (ii) who has not before executed the business of the Company or its subsidiaries in the capacity of director, executive officer (shikkou-yaku), manager, or employee, and (iii) who does not execute the business of any subsidiary of the Company in the capacity of director or executive officer of such subsidiary or in the capacity of manager or any other employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

In addition to differences in composition requirements for our board of directors and its committees, we are not required to:

 

   

make publicly available one or more documents that summarize all aspects of our corporate governance guidelines or prepare a written code that states the objectives, responsibilities, and performance evaluation criteria of our Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees in a manner that satisfies the NYSE’s requirements;

 

   

adopt a code of business conduct and ethics for our directors, officers, and employees that addresses fully the topics necessary to satisfy the NYSE’s requirements;

 

   

hold regularly scheduled executive sessions for our outside directors;

 

   

obtain shareholder approval for all equity compensation plans for employees, directors or executive officers of ORIX or for material revisions to any such plans;

 

   

have a written charter of compensation committee that addresses the purpose, responsibilities and annual performance evaluation of the committee; or

 

   

provide the compensation committee with authority to obtain or retain the advice of a compensation adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to determining that adviser’s independence from management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ORIX Corporation:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ORIX Corporation (a Japanese corporation) and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement Schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

As discussed in Note 35 to the consolidated financial statements, on April 28, 2014, ORIX Life Insurance Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, decided to purchase all issued shares of Hartford Life Insurance K.K. (HLIKK) held by Hartford Life, Inc. Upon closing, HLIKK would become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated June 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ORIX Corporation:

 

We have audited ORIX Corporation’s (a Japanese corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, included in Item 15 “Controls and Procedures” of the accompanying Form 20-F. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, ORIX Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

ORIX Corporation acquired DAIKYO INCORPORATED during the year ended March 31, 2014, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of ORIX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, DAIKYO INCORPORATED’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of 358,237 million yen included in the consolidated balance sheet of ORIX Corporation as of March 31, 2014. There were no total revenues and income from continuing operations of DAIKYO INCORPORATED after acquisition included in the consolidated statement of income of ORIX Corporation for the year ended March 31, 2014. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of ORIX Corporation also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of DAIKYO INCORPORATED.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2014, and our report dated June 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

1. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

 

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, ORIX Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), modified for the accounting for stock splits (see (o)). Significant accounting and reporting policies are summarized as follows:

 

(a) Basis of presenting financial statements

 

The Company and its subsidiaries in Japan maintain their books in conformity with Japanese accounting practices, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and, therefore, reflect certain adjustments to the books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries. The principal adjustments relate to initial direct costs to originate leases and loans, use of the straight-line method of depreciation for operating lease equipment, deferral of life insurance policy acquisition costs, calculation of insurance policy liabilities, accounting for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations, accounting for pension plans, accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in its subsidiary, accounting for securitization of financial assets, reflection of the income tax effect on such adjustments and reclassification of discontinued operations, and the presentation of the noncontrolling interests.

 

(b) Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates, where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence by way of 20% – 50% ownership or other means, are accounted for by using the equity method. Where the Company holds majority voting interests but noncontrolling shareholders have substantive participating rights to decisions that occur as part of the ordinary course of their business, the equity method is applied pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-25-2 to 14 (“Consolidation—The Effect of Noncontrolling Rights on Consolidation”). In addition, the consolidated financial statements also include variable interest entities to which the Company and its subsidiaries are primary beneficiaries pursuant to ASC 810 (“Consolidation”).

 

A lag period of up to three months is used on a consistent basis for recognizing the results of certain subsidiaries and affiliates.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(c) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has identified ten areas where it believes assumptions and estimates are particularly critical to the financial statements. These are the selection of valuation techniques and determination of assumptions used in fair value measurements (see Note 2), the determination and periodic reassessment of the unguaranteed residual value for direct financing leases and operating leases (see (e)), the determination and reassessment of insurance policy liabilities and deferred policy acquisition costs (see (f)), the determination of the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses (see (g)), the determination of impairment of long-lived assets (see (h)), the

 

F-12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

determination of impairment of investment in securities (see (i)), the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the evaluation of tax positions (see (j)), assessment and measurement of effectiveness in hedging relationship using derivative financial instruments (see (l)), the determination of benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost (see (m)) and the determination of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization (see (w)).

 

(d) Foreign currencies translation

 

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in their functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the entity’s functional currency based on the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date.

 

The financial statements of overseas subsidiaries and affiliates are translated into Japanese yen by applying the exchange rates in effect at the end of each fiscal year to all assets and liabilities. Income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the fiscal year. The currencies in which the operations of the overseas subsidiaries and affiliates are conducted are regarded as the functional currencies of these companies. Foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) arise from the translation of foreign currency financial statements into Japanese yen.

 

(e) Recognition of revenues

 

Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or the goods have been delivered to the customer, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the policies as specifically described hereinafter are applied for each of the major revenue items.

 

Leases—The Company and its subsidiaries lease various assets to customers under direct financing or operating lease arrangements. Classification of a lease arrangement into either a direct financing lease or an operating lease is dependent upon the specific conditions of the arrangement. Revenue recognition policies applied for direct financing leases and operating leases are specifically described in sections following this paragraph. In providing leasing services, the Company and its subsidiaries execute supplemental services, such as paying insurance and handling taxes on leased assets on behalf of lessees. In some cases, automobile maintenance services are also provided to lessees. Where, under terms of the lease or related maintenance agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries bear the favorable or unfavorable variability of cost, revenues and expenses are recorded on a gross basis. For those arrangements in which the Company and its subsidiaries do not have substantial risks and rewards of ownership, but instead serve as an agent in collecting from lessees and remitting payments to third parties, the Company and its subsidiaries record revenues net of third-party services costs. Revenues from automobile maintenance services are taken into income over the contract period in proportion to the estimated service costs to be incurred and are recorded in other operating revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

(1) Recognition of revenues for direct financing leases

 

Direct financing leases consist of full-payout leases for various equipment types, including office equipment, industrial machinery and transportation equipment. The excess of aggregate lease rentals plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value over the cost of the leased equipment constitutes the unearned lease income to be taken into income over the lease term by using the interest method. The estimated residual values

 

F-13


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

represent estimated proceeds from the disposition of equipment at the time the lease is terminated. Estimates of unguaranteed residual values are based on current market values of used equipment, estimates of when and how much equipment will become obsolete and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment. Initial direct costs are being deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of related lease by using the interest method. The unamortized balance of initial direct costs is reflected as a component of investment in direct financing leases.

 

(2) Recognition of revenues for operating leases

 

Revenues from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract terms. Investment in operating leases is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated over their estimated useful lives mainly on a straight-line basis. The estimated average useful lives of principal operating lease assets classified as transportation equipment is 9 years, measuring and information-related equipment is 4 years, real estate (other than land) is 31 years and other is 6 years. Depreciation expenses are included in costs of operating leases. Gains or losses arising from dispositions of operating lease assets, except real estate under operating leases, are included in operating lease revenues. With respect to some sales of real estate under operating leases such as commercial buildings, the Company or its subsidiaries may retain an interest in some cash flows of the real estate in the form of management or operation of the real estate. Where the Company or its subsidiaries have significant continuing involvement in the operations from the real estate under operating leases which have been disposed of, the gains or losses arising from such disposition are separately disclosed as gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, whereas if the Company or its subsidiaries have no significant continuing involvement in the operations from such disposed real estate, the gains or losses are reported as income from discontinued operations, net.

 

Estimates of residual values are based on current market values of used equipment, estimates of when and how much equipment will become obsolete and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment.

 

Installment loans—Interest income on installment loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Certain direct loan origination costs, net of origination fees, are being deferred and amortized over the contractual term of the loan as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield using the interest method.

 

Interest payments received on impaired loans other than purchased loans are recorded as interest income unless the collection of the remaining investment is doubtful at which time payments received are recorded as reductions of principal. For purchased loans, although the acquired assets may remain loans in legal form, collections on these loans often do not reflect the normal historical experience of collecting delinquent accounts, and the need to tailor individual collateral-realization strategies often makes it difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing or nature of collections. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries use the cost recovery method of income recognition for such purchased loans regardless of whether impairment is recognized or not.

 

Non-accrual policy—In common with all classes, past-due financing receivables are receivables for which principal or interest is past-due 30 days or more. Loans whose terms have been modified are not classified as past-due financing receivables if the principals and interests are not past-due 30 days or more in accordance with the modified terms. The Company and its subsidiaries suspend accruing revenues on past-due installment loans and direct financing leases when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more, or earlier, if management determines that their collections are doubtful based on factors such as individual debtors’ creditworthiness, historical loss experience, current delinquencies and delinquency trends. Accrued but uncollected interest is reclassified to investment in direct financing leases or installment loans in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and becomes subject to the allowance for doubtful receivables and probable loan loss process. Cash repayments received on non-accrual loans are applied first against past due interest and then any surpluses

are applied to principal in view of the conditions of the contract and obligors. The Company and its subsidiaries return non-accrual loans and lease receivables to accrual status when it becomes probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these loans and receivables, as evidenced by continual payments from the debtors. The period of such continual payments before returning to accrual status varies depending on factors that we consider are relevant in assessing the debtor’s creditworthiness, such as the debtor’s business characteristics and financial conditions as well as relevant economic conditions and trends.

 

Brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities—Brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities are recorded on a trade date basis.

 

Real estate sales—Revenues from the sales of real estate are recognized when a contract is in place, a closing has taken place, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property and the Company and its subsidiaries do not have a substantial continuing involvement in the property.

 

Revenues from asset management and servicing—The Company and its subsidiaries provide to our customers investment management services for investments in financial assets, and asset management as well as maintenance and administrative services for investments in real estate properties. The Company and its subsidiaries also perform servicing duties on behalf of their customers. The Company and its subsidiaries receive fees for those services from Company’s customers.

 

Revenues from asset management and servicing are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when transactions occur or services are rendered and the amounts are fixed or determinable and collectability of which is reasonably assured. Certain subsidiaries recognize revenues from performance fees when earned based on the performance of the asset under management. Another subsidiary recognizes revenues from performance fees on an accrual basis over the period in which services are performed.

 

Revenues from asset management and servicing primarily include management fee income and performance fee income. Management fees are calculated based on the predetermined percentages of the market value of the assets under management or net assets of the investment funds in accordance with the contracts with customers. Performance fees are calculated based on the predetermined percentages of the performance of the assets under management in accordance with the contracts with customers.

 

(f) Insurance premiums and expenses

 

Premium income from life insurance policies is recognized as earned premiums when due.

 

Life insurance benefits are recorded as expenses when they are incurred. Policy liabilities for future policy benefits are established using the net level premium method, based on actuarial estimates of the amount of future policyholder benefits. The policies are characterized as long-duration policies and mainly consist of whole life, term life, endowments and medical insurance. Computation of policy liabilities necessarily includes assumptions about mortality, morbidity, lapse rates, future yields on related investments and other factors applicable at the time the policies are written. The Company’s life insurance subsidiary continually evaluates the potential for changes in the estimates and assumptions applied in determining policy liabilities, both positive and negative and uses the results of these evaluations both to adjust recorded liabilities and to adjust underwriting criteria and product offerings.

ASC 944 (“Financial Services—Insurance”) requires insurance companies to defer certain costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and amortize them over the respective policy periods in proportion to anticipated premium revenue. These deferred policy acquisition costs consist primarily of first-year commissions in excess of recurring policy maintenance costs and expenses for underwriting policies.

 

(g) Allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses

 

The allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses is maintained at a level which, in the judgment of management, is appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in lease and loan portfolios. The allowance is increased by provision charged to income and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

 

Developing the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. In evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance, management considers various factors, including the business characteristics and financial conditions of the obligors, current economic conditions and trends, prior charge-off experience, current delinquencies and delinquency trends, future cash flows expected to be received from the direct financing leases and loans and value of underlying collateral and guarantees. Impaired loans are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. For non-impaired loans, including loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment, and direct financing leases, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate prior charge-off experience segmented by the debtors’ industries and the purpose of the loans, and then develop the allowance for doubtful receivables on direct financing leases and probable loan losses considering the prior charge-off experience and current economic conditions.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal considering debtors’ creditworthiness and the liquidation status of collateral.

 

(h) Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have followed ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”). Under ASC 360, long-lived assets to be held and used in operations, including tangible assets and intangible assets being amortized, consisting primarily of office building, condominiums, golf courses and other operating assets, shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. When the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets, the net carrying amount of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than the carrying amount. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate.

 

(i) Investment in securities

 

Trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income.

 

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, except investments which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income by electing the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”).

 

F-16

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost.

 

Other securities are recorded at cost or carrying value that reflects equity income and loss based on the Company’s share, except investments which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income by electing the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”).

 

For available-for-sale securities, the Company and its subsidiaries generally recognize losses related to equity securities for which the fair value has been significantly below the acquisition cost (or current carrying value if an adjustment has been made in the past) for more than six months. Also, the Company and its subsidiaries charge against income losses related to equity securities in situations where, even though the fair value has not remained significantly below the carrying value for six months, the decline in the fair value of an equity security is based on the issuer’s specific economic conditions and not just general declines in the related market and where it is considered unlikely that the fair value of the equity security will recover within six months.

 

For debt securities, where the fair value is less than the amortized cost, the Company and its subsidiaries consider whether those securities are other-than-temporarily impaired using all available information about their collectability. The Company and its subsidiaries do not consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if (1) the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the debt security, (2) it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and (3) the present value of estimated cash flows will fully cover the amortized cost of the security. On the other hand, the Company and its subsidiaries consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if any of the above mentioned three conditions are not met. When the Company and its subsidiaries deem a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities if the Company and its subsidiaries intend to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiary will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. However, if the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the Company and its subsidiaries separate the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities into the credit loss component and the non-credit loss component. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes.

 

For other securities, when the Company and its subsidiaries determine the decline in value is other than temporary the Company and its subsidiaries reduce the carrying value of the security to the fair value and charge against income losses related to these other securities in situations.

 

(j) Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is “more likely than not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have followed ASC 740 (“Income Taxes”). According to ASC 740, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, and measure the tax position that meets the recognition threshold at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company and its subsidiaries classify penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as part of provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries have elected to file a consolidated tax return for National Corporation tax purposes.

 

(k) Securitized assets

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have securitized and sold to investors various financial assets such as lease receivables and loan receivables. In the securitization process, the assets to be securitized (“the assets”) are sold to trusts or SPEs that issue asset-backed beneficial interests and securities to the investors.

 

In accordance with ASC 860 (“Transfers and Servicing”) and ASC 810 (“Consolidation”), trusts or SPEs used in securitization transactions have been consolidated if the Company and its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the trusts or SPEs, and the transfers of the financial assets to those consolidated trusts and SPEs are not accounted for as sales. Assets held by consolidated trusts or consolidated SPEs continue to be accounted for as lease receivables and loan receivable, as they were before the transfer, and asset-backed beneficial interests and securities issued to the investors are accounted for as debt. When the Company and its subsidiaries have transferred financial assets to a transferee that is not subject to consolidation, the Company and its subsidiaries account for the transfer as a sale if control over the transferred assets is surrendered.

 

A certain subsidiary originates and sells loans into the secondary market, while retaining the obligation to service those loans. In addition, it undertakes obligations to service loans originated by others. The subsidiary recognizes servicing assets if it expects the benefit of servicing to more than adequately compensate it for performing the servicing or recognizes servicing liabilities if it expects the benefit of servicing to less than adequately compensate it. These servicing assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently accounted for using the amortization method whereby the assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss. On a quarterly basis, servicing assets and liabilities are evaluated for impairment or increased obligations. The fair value of servicing assets and liabilities is estimated using an internal valuation model, or by obtaining an opinion of value from an independent third-party vendor. Both methods are based on calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration discount rates, prepayments and servicing costs. The internal valuation model is validated at least semiannually through third-party valuations.

 

(l) Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company and its subsidiaries apply ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”), and all derivatives held by the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting treatment of subsequent changes in the fair value depends on their use, and whether they qualify as effective “hedges” for accounting purposes. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through the consolidated statements of income. If a derivative is a hedge, then depending on its nature, changes in its fair value will be either offset against change in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities through the consolidated statements of income, or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

 

F-18

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

If a derivative is held as a hedge of the variability of fair value related to a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge), changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

 

If a derivative is held as a hedge of the variability of cash flows related to a forecasted transaction or a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge), changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that the derivative is effective as a hedge, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.

 

If a derivative is held as a hedge of a foreign-currency fair-value or cash-flow hedge (“foreign currency” hedge), changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in either earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether the hedged transaction is a fair-value hedge or a cash-flow hedge. However, if a derivative is used as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, changes in its fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments account within other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not held as a hedge, such as those held for trading use, or the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives that qualify as a hedge, are recorded in earnings.

 

For all hedging relationships, at inception the Company and its subsidiaries formally document the details of the hedging relationship and the hedged activity. The Company and its subsidiaries also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedge relationship. The Company and its subsidiaries cease hedge accounting prospectively when the derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.

 

(m) Pension plans

 

The Company and certain subsidiaries have contributory and non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. The Company and its subsidiaries apply ASC 715 (“Compensation—Retirement Benefits”), and the costs of pension plans are accrued based on amounts determined using actuarial methods, with assumptions of discount rate, rate of increase in compensation level, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and others.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries also recognize the funded status of pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in that funded status are recognized in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes.

 

(n) Stock-based compensation

 

The Company and its subsidiaries apply ASC 718 (“Compensation—Stock Compensation”). ASC 718 requires, with limited exception, that the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments be measured based on the grant-date fair value. The costs are recognized over the requisite employee service period.

 

(o) Stock splits

 

Stock splits implemented prior to October 1, 2001 had been accounted for by transferring an amount equivalent to the par value of the shares from additional paid-in capital to common stock as required by the Japanese Commercial Code (the “Code”) before amendment. However, no such reclassification was made for

 

F-19

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

stock splits when common stock already included a portion of the proceeds from shares issued at a price in excess of par value. This method of accounting was in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

 

As a result of a revision to the Code before amendment effective on October 1, 2001 and the Companies Act implemented on May 1, 2006, the above-mentioned method of accounting required by the Code has become unnecessary.

 

In the United States, stock splits in comparable circumstances are considered to be stock dividends and are accounted for by transferring from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital amounts equal to the fair market value of the shares issued. Common stock is increased by the par value of the shares and additional paid-in capital is increased by the excess of the market value over par value of the shares issued. Had such stock splits made prior to October 1, 2001 been accounted for in this manner, additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2014 would have increased by approximately ¥24,674 million, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. Total ORIX Corporation shareholders’ equity would remain unchanged. A stock split on May 19, 2000 and April 1, 2013 was excluded from the above amounts because the stock split was not considered to be a stock dividend under U.S. GAAP.

 

(p) Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits placed with banks and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

(q) Restricted cash

 

Restricted cash consists of trust accounts under securitization programs and real estate, deposits related to servicing agreements, deposits collected on the underlying assets and applied to non-recourse loans and others.

 

(r) Other operating assets

 

Other operating assets consist primarily of operating facilities (including golf courses, hotels and training facilities and senior housing), which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and depreciation is calculated mainly on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expenses in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 were ¥6,547 million, ¥8,072 million and ¥15,129 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was ¥48,313 million and ¥62,182 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Estimated useful lives range up to 50 years for buildings, up to 60 years for land improvement and up to 20 years for others.

 

(s) Other receivables

 

Other receivables primarily include payments made on behalf of lessees for property tax, maintenance fees and insurance premiums in relation to direct financing lease contracts, accounts receivables in relation to sales of assets to be leased, residential condominiums and other assets, and derivative assets.

 

(t) Inventories

 

Inventories primarily consist of advance and/or progress payments for development of residential condominiums for sale and completed residential condominiums (including completed residential condominiums waiting to be delivered to buyers under the contracts for sale). Advance and/or progress payments for development of residential condominiums for sale are carried at cost less any impairment losses and finished

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

goods (including completed residential condominiums) are stated at the lower of cost or market. As of March 31, 2013 and 2014, advance and/or progress payments were ¥34,556 million and ¥111,813 million, respectively, and finished goods were ¥6,933 million and ¥24,291 million, respectively.

 

Certain subsidiaries recorded ¥4,039 million, ¥3,377 million and ¥5,650 million of write-downs principally for advance and/or progress payments for development of residential condominiums for sale for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, resulting from an increase in development costs and/or a decrease in expected sales price. These write-downs were recorded in costs of real estate sales and included in the Real Estate segment.

 

(u) Office facilities

 

Office facilities are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a declining-balance basis or straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expenses in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 were ¥3,228 million, ¥2,994 million and ¥3,494 million, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was ¥41,698 million and ¥39,747 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Estimated useful lives range up to 62 years for buildings and fixtures and up to 20 years for machinery and equipment.

 

(v) Other assets

 

Other assets consist primarily of the excess of purchase prices over the net assets acquired in acquisitions (goodwill) and other intangible assets (see (w)), deferred insurance policy acquisition costs which are amortized over the contract periods, leasehold deposits, advance payments made in relation to purchases of assets to be leased and construction of real estate for operating lease, and deferred tax assets.

 

(w) Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have followed ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”) and ASC 350 (“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”). ASC 805 requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method. It also requires that intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized apart from goodwill if the intangible assets meet one of two criteria—either the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company and its subsidiaries remeasure their previously held equity interest at the acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in earnings.

 

ASC 350 establishes how intangible assets (other than those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for upon acquisition. It also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for subsequent to their acquisition. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested at least annually for impairment. Additionally, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, we test for impairment when such events or changes occur. Under ASC 350, the Company and its subsidiaries may perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company and/or subsidiaries do not perform the two-step impairment test. However, if the Company and/or subsidiaries conclude otherwise, the Company and/or subsidiaries perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit falls below its carrying amount, then the Company and/or subsidiaries perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

The Company and its subsidiaries test the goodwill either at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segments. The Company and its subsidiaries perform the qualitative assessment for some goodwill but bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the first step of the two-step impairment test for other goodwill.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 (“Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”—ASC 350 (“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”)) during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. According to ASU 2012-02, the Company and its subsidiaries may perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company and/or subsidiaries conclude that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired, then the Company and/or subsidiaries do not perform the quantitative impairment test. However, if the Company and/or subsidiaries conclude otherwise, the Company and/or subsidiaries calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company and its subsidiaries perform the qualitative assessment for some indefinite-lived intangible assets but bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment for other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”).

 

(x) Trade notes, accounts payable and other liabilities

 

Trade notes, accounts payable and other liabilities include accounts payables, guarantee liabilities, and derivative liabilities.

 

(y) Capitalization of interest costs

 

The Company and its subsidiaries capitalized interest costs of ¥2,395 million, ¥1,707 million and ¥981 million in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, related to specific long-term development projects.

 

(z) Advertising

 

The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. The total amounts charged to advertising expense in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 are ¥5,888 million, ¥11,579 million and ¥15,269 million, respectively.

 

(aa) Discontinued operations

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have followed ASC 205-20 (“Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations”). Under ASC 205-20, the scope of discontinued operations includes the operating results of any component of an entity with its own identifiable operations and cash flow and in which operations the Company and its subsidiaries will not have significant continuing involvement. Included in reported discontinued operations are the operating results of operations for the subsidiaries, the business units and certain properties sold or to be disposed of by sale without significant continuing involvements, which results of operations for prior periods presented have also been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows.

(ab) Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders from continuing operations and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding in each period and diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Earnings per share is adjusted for any stock splits and stock dividends retrospectively. For discussion stock splits, see Note 28 (“Per Share Data”).

 

Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiaries apply ASC 260-10-45-43 to 44 (“Earnings Per Share—Contingently Convertible Instruments”) to Liquid Yield Option Notes™ which were redeemed in fiscal 2013.

 

(ac) Partial sale and additional acquisition of the parent’s ownership interest in subsidiaries

 

A partial sale and an additional acquisition of the parent’s ownership interest in subsidiaries where the parent continues to retain control of that subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. On the other hand, in a transaction that results in the loss of control, the gain or loss recognized in income includes the realized gain or loss related to the portion of ownership interest sold and the gain or loss on the remeasurement to fair value of the interest retained.

 

(ad) Redeemable noncontrolling interests

 

Noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries are redeemable preferred shares which are subject to call and put rights upon certain shareholder events. As redemption of the noncontrolling interest is not solely in the control of the subsidiary, it is recorded between Liabilities and Equity on the consolidated balance sheets at its estimated redemption value in accordance with provisions including EITF Topic No. D-98 (ASC 480-10-s99-3A) (“Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”).

 

(ae) Issuance of stock by an affiliate

 

When an affiliate issues stocks to unrelated third parties, the Company and its subsidiaries’ ownership interest in the affiliate decreases. In the event that the price per share is more or less than the Company and its subsidiaries’ average carrying amount per share, the Company and its subsidiaries adjust the carrying amount of its investment in the affiliate and recognize gain or loss in the consolidated statements of income in the year in which the change in ownership interest occurs.

 

(af) New accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update 2011-10 (“Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate—a Scope Clarification”—ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”)) was issued. This Update is intended to resolve the diversity in practice and clarifies that when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s non-recourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in ASC 360-20 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment—Real Estate Sales”) to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2013. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (“Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”—ASC 210 (“Balance Sheet”)) was issued. This Update requires all entities that have financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements. In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 (“Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”—ASC 210 (“Balance Sheet”)) was issued. This Update clarifies that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted these Updates on April 1, 2013. These Updates only relate to certain disclosure requirements and the adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In February 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-02 (“Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”—ASC 220 (“Comprehensive Income”)) was issued. This Update supersedes the reporting requirement for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, originally required under Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, for which the effective date was deferred by Accounting Standards Update 2011-12. This Update requires an entity to present information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, their corresponding effect on line items of net income and other information by component. An entity shall provide the information together, in one location, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statement. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update on April 1, 2013. The Update only relates to certain disclosure requirements and the adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In February 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-04 (“Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date”—ASC 405 (“Liabilities”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In March 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-05 (“Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”—ASC 830 (“Foreign Currency Matters”)) was issued. This Update requires that when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity, the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This Update continues to require an entity to release a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon a partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. This Update requires an acquirer to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when the acquirer obtains a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity that was previously an equity method affiliate in a business combination achieved in stages. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

In April 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-07 (“Liquidation Basis of Accounting”—ASC 205 (“Presentation of Financial Statements”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent and provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

 

In June 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-08 (“Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements”—ASC 946 (“Financial Services—Investment Companies”)) was issued. This Update changes the approach to the investment company assessment, clarifies the characteristics of an investment company, and provides comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. This Update requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. This Update requires an investment company to disclose the additional information about an entity’s status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The Update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In July 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-10 (“Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes”—ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”)) was issued. This Update permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and LIBOR swap rate. This Update also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The Company and its subsidiaries adopted this Update for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption had no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In July 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 (“Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”—ASC 740 (“Income Taxes”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability, with certain exceptions. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, although retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In January 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-04 (“Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”—ASC 310-40 (“Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”)) was issued. This Update clarifies when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession resulting from an in substance repossession or foreclosure of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Additionally, this Update requires an entity to disclose the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. This Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The amendments should be

applied on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

 

In April 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”—ASC 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 entity’s operations and financial results. This Update requires an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. Furthermore, this Update requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and a disposal of an individually significant component that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The Update is effective prospectively for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that occur within fiscal years, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the effect of adopting this Update on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position will depend on future transactions.

 

In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”—ASC 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)) was issued. The core principle of this Update is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue, and in what amount. The five steps to apply the model are:

 

   

Identify the contract(s) with a customer

 

   

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Determine the transaction price

 

   

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

   

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

This Update requires an entity to disclose more information about contracts with customers than under the current disclosure requirements. The Update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is prohibited. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update using either a retrospective method or a cumulative-effect method. The entity using the retrospective method may elect some optional expedients to simplify a full retrospective basis. The entity using the cumulative-effect method would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying this Update as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or net assets at the date of initial application. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this Update will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations and financial position.

 

(ag) Reclassifications

 

Revenues and Expenses from asset management and loan servicing business have been separately presented from fiscal 2014 as, “Revenues from asset management and servicing” and “Expenses from asset management and servicing.” The amounts in fiscal 2012 and 2013 have been reclassified for this change.

2. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”). This Codification Section defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

This Codification Section classifies and prioritizes inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into the following three levels:

 

Level 1—Inputs of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

 

This Codification Section differentiates between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (“recurring”) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (“nonrecurring”). The Company and its subsidiaries mainly measure certain loans held for sale, trading securities, available-for-sale securities, certain investment funds and derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 (“Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”—ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”)) on January 1, 2012. This Update is intended to result in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosures about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, this Update changes some fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements.

A subsidiary elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) on the loans held for sale originated on or after October 1, 2011. These loans are multi-family and seniors housing loans and are sold to Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or institutional investors. Included in other operating revenues in the consolidated statements of income were gains from the change in the fair value of the loans of ¥1,024 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, losses from the change in the fair value of the loans of ¥628 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and gains from the change in the fair value of the loans of ¥116 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. No gains or losses were

recognized in earnings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The amounts of aggregate unpaid principal balance and aggregate fair value at March 31, 2013, were ¥15,535 million and ¥16,026 million, respectively, and the amount of the aggregate fair value exceeded the amount of aggregate unpaid principal balance by ¥491 million. The amounts of aggregate unpaid principal balance and aggregate fair value at March 31, 2014, were ¥12,024 million and ¥12,631 million, respectively, and the amount of the aggregate fair value exceeded the amount of aggregate unpaid principal balance by ¥607 million. As of March 31, 2013 and 2014, there were no loans that were 90 days or more past due, in non-accrual status, or both.

*2 A subsidiary that has newly become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during this fiscal year elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) for investments in equity securities included in available-for-sale securities. Included in brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities in the consolidated statements of income were gains from the change in the fair value of those investments of ¥333 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The amount of aggregate fair value elected the fair value option is ¥5,116 million as of March 31, 2014.
*3 A subsidiary and another company that have newly become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during this fiscal year elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) for investments in some funds. Included in brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities in the consolidated statements of income were gains from the change in the fair value of those investments of ¥670 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and ¥1,412 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The amounts of aggregate fair value elected the fair value option were ¥5,800 million and ¥6,317 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Changes in economic conditions or valuation methodologies may require the transfer of assets and liabilities from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the transfer at the beginning of quarter during which the transfers occur. The Company and its subsidiaries evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The following is a description of the valuation process and the main valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

Valuation process

 

The Company and its subsidiaries determine fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities by using valuation techniques, such as internally developed models, or using third-party pricing information. Internally developed models include the discounted cash flow methodologies and direct capitalization methodologies. To measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities, the Company and its subsidiaries select the valuation technique which best reflects the nature, characteristics and risks of each asset and liability. The appropriateness of valuation methods and unobservable inputs is verified when measuring fair values of the assets and liabilities by using internally developed models. The Company and its subsidiaries also use third-party pricing information to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. In that case, the Company and its subsidiaries verify the appropriateness of

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

the prices by monitoring available information about the assets and liabilities, such as current conditions of the assets or liabilities, as well as surrounding market information. When these prices are determined to be able to reflect the nature, characteristics and risks of assets and liabilities reasonably, the Company and its subsidiaries use these prices as fair value of the assets and liabilities.

 

Loans held for sale

 

Certain loans, which the Company and its subsidiaries have the intent and ability to sell to outside parties in the foreseeable future, are considered held-for-sale. The loans held for sale in the United States are classified as Level 2, because the Company and its subsidiaries measure their fair value based on a market approach using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets, such as treasury rate, swap rate and market spread.

 

Real estate collateral-dependent loans

 

The valuation allowance for large balance non-homogeneous loans is individually evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. According to ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”), measurement for impaired loans determined using a present value technique is not considered a fair value measurement. However, measurement for impaired loans determined using the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the collateral-dependent loans are fair value measurements and are subject to the disclosure requirements for nonrecurring fair value measurements.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value of the real estate collateral of real estate collateral-dependent loans using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. The company and its subsidiaries generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, we periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions, which may materially affect the fair value of the collateral. Real estate collateral-dependent loans whose fair values are estimated using appraisals of the underlying collateral based on these valuation techniques are classified as Level 3 because such appraisals involve unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates and cap rates as well as future cash flows estimated to be generated from real estate collateral. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or cap rate and a decrease (increase) in the estimated future cash flows would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of real estate collateral-dependent loans.

 

Investment in operating leases and other operating assets and Land and buildings undeveloped or under construction

 

Investment in operating leases measured at fair value is mostly real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value of Investment in operating leases and other operating assets and land and buildings undeveloped or under construction using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or the Company’s own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. The Company and its subsidiaries classified the assets as Level 3 because such appraisals involve unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates as well as future cash flows estimated to be generated

from the assets or projects. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate and a decrease (increase) in the estimated future cash flows would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of investment in operating leases and other operating assets and Land and buildings undeveloped or under construction.

 

Trading securities, Available-for-sale securities and Investment in affiliates

 

If active market prices are available, fair value measurement is based on quoted active market prices and, accordingly, these securities are classified as Level 1. If active market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as prices for similar assets and accordingly these securities are classified as Level 2. If market prices are not available and there are no observable inputs, then fair value is estimated by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies, commonly used option-pricing models and broker quotes. Such securities are classified as Level 3, as the valuation models and broker quotes are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market. If fair value is based on broker quotes, the Company and its subsidiaries check the validity of received prices based on comparison to prices of other similar assets and market data such as relevant bench mark indices.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries classified CMBS and RMBS in the United States as level 3 due to a certain market being inactive. In determining whether a market is active or inactive, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate various factors such as the lack of recent transactions, price quotations that are not based on current information or vary substantially over time or among market makers, a significant increase in implied risk premium, a wide bid-ask spread, significant decline in new issuances, little or no public information (e.g. a principal-to-principal market) and other factors. With respect to the CMBS and RMBS in the United States, the Company and its subsidiaries judged that there has been increased overall trading activity but due to the lack of observable trades for older vintage and below investment grade securities we continue to limit the reliance on independent pricing service vendors and brokers. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries established internally developed pricing models (Level 3 inputs) using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies in order to estimate fair value of these securities and classified them as Level 3. Under the models, the Company and its subsidiaries use anticipated cash flows of the security discounted at a risk-adjusted discount rate that incorporates our estimate of credit risk and liquidity risk that a market participant would consider. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or default rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of CMBS and RMBS in the United States.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries classified the specified bonds as Level 3 because the Company and its subsidiaries measure their fair value using unobservable inputs. Since the specified bonds do not trade in an open market, no relevant observable market data is available. Accordingly the Company and its subsidiaries use discounted cash flow methodologies that incorporates significant unobservable inputs to measure their fair value. When evaluating the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate based on market interest rates and a risk premium. The future cash flows for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan are estimated based on contractual principal and interest repayment schedules on each of the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan. Since the discount rate is not observable for the specified bonds, the Company and its subsidiaries use an internally developed model to estimate a risk premium considering the value of the real estate collateral (which also involves unobservable inputs in many cases when using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies) and the seniority of the bonds. Under the model, the Company and its subsidiaries consider the loan-to-value ratio and other relevant available information to reflect both the credit risk and the liquidity risk in our own estimate of the risk premium. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the larger the risk premium the Company and its subsidiaries estimate under the model. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs

in Japan rises when the fair value of the collateral real estate rises and the discount rate declines. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan declines when the fair value of the collateral real estate declines and the discount rate rises.

 

Investment funds

 

A subsidiary and another company which has newly become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during this fiscal year elected the fair value option for investments in some funds. These investment funds for which the fair value option is elected are classified as Level 3, because the subsidiaries measure their fair value using discounted cash flow methodologies or discounting to net asset value based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

 

Derivatives

 

For exchange-traded derivatives, fair value is based on quoted market prices, and accordingly, classified as Level 1. For non-exchange traded derivatives, fair value is based on commonly used models and discounted cash flow methodologies. If the inputs used for these measurements including yield curves and volatilities are observable, the Company and its subsidiaries classify it as Level 2. If the inputs are not observable, the Company and its subsidiaries classify it as Level 3. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of derivatives.

 

Contingent consideration

 

The Company will be required to pay certain contingent consideration described in Note 3 (Acquisitions) depending on the future performance of a certain asset management business of the acquired subsidiary, and the Company recognizes a liability for the contingent consideration at its estimated fair value. The fair value of the contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 because the Company measures its fair value using a Monte Carlo model based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

The Company and its subsidiaries generally use discounted cash flow methodologies or similar internally developed models to determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on the fair value.

 

F-39


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

Certain of these unobservable inputs will (in isolation) have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the asset or liability for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the asset or liability may move in an opposite direction for a given change in another input. Where multiple inputs are used within the valuation technique of an asset or liability, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change in another input having a potentially muted impact to the overall fair value of that particular asset or liability. Additionally, a change in one unobservable input may result in a change to another unobservable input (that is, changes in certain inputs are interrelated to one another), which may counteract or magnify the fair value impact.

 

For more analysis of the sensitivity of each input, see the description of the valuation process and the main valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

On July 1, 2013, the Company acquired approximately 90.01% of the total voting equity interests of Robeco Groep N.V. (Head office: Rotterdam, the Netherlands, hereinafter, “Robeco”) from Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (Head office: Utrecht, the Netherlands, hereinafter, “Rabobank”). As a result, Robeco has become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Robeco, a mid-size global asset manager, offers a mix of investment solutions in a broad range of strategies to institutional and private investors worldwide.

 

The total amount of the acquisition consideration was ¥255,900 million. The initial consideration of ¥250,724 million was paid by ¥231,316 million in cash and 13,902,900 shares issued out of treasury, valued at ¥19,408 million. The 13,902,900 shares issued to Rabobank as part of the total consideration was determined based on the closing price of ¥1,396 of the Company’s common share on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on July 1, 2013 in accordance with the share purchase agreement executed between the Company and Rabobank as of February 19, 2013. In addition, the Company will be required to pay contingent consideration depending on the future performance of a certain section of asset management business for each of Robeco’s fiscal year until the fiscal year ending in December 2015. The estimated fair value of such contingent consideration was ¥5,176 million, which is included in the total consideration transferred. The Company believes that the change in such consideration is not expected to be significant. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was ¥2,833 million as of March 31, 2014 with the difference of ¥2,343 million being included as part of other operating revenues in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

 

Transaction costs of ¥2,039 million are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

 

Through this acquisition, the Company aims to expand its global asset management business as one of the measures to pursue new business models by combining finance with related services. The rationales for the Company’s acquisition of Robeco include the strength of Robeco’s global brand, the diversity of its businesses across asset classes and regions, the breadth of its global distribution network and the experience of its investment teams. As a well-managed and relatively autonomous group of businesses with a good performance record, Robeco is the ideal vehicle for the Company to pursue its ambitions in global asset management. Growth opportunities also exist in the pension and asset management markets in Asia and the Middle East, where the Company has an established network.

The Company allocates the acquisition consideration to Robeco’s respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and records the identified assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest based on their fair values at the acquisition date by the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”). The fair value of noncontrolling interest is estimated based on the acquisition consideration taking into account an appraised value using a market approach (business enterprise value multiples).

 

The acquisition accounting has not been completed as of June 26, 2014. Although certain items, including pension accounting, are still pending further evaluation, the final purchase price allocations are not expected to differ materially from the current valuation. The following table provides preliminary fair value amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Robeco.

The goodwill is calculated as the excess of consideration transferred and the fair value of noncontrolling interest over the net assets recognized at fair value. The Company calculated the amount of goodwill based on estimates of fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest. The goodwill represents the future growth of the ORIX Group from new revenue streams arising from the consolidation of Robeco and synergies with the existing Company’s assets and businesses. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with this acquisition are included in the Overseas Business segment.

(2) DAIKYO INCORPORATED acquisition

 

In March, 2005, the Company entered into a capital alliance with DAIKYO INCORPORATED (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, hereinafter, “DAIKYO”), which operates condominium development and management businesses. In connection with the capital alliance, the Company acquired 133,720,000 shares of DAIKYO’s common stock, 10,000,000 shares of type-1 preferred stock, 15,000,000 shares of type-2 preferred stock and 25,000,000 shares of type-4 preferred stock. In June, 2008, DAIKYO redeemed certain of type-2 preferred stock and type-4 preferred stock held by the Company. Furthermore, in March 2009, the Company subscribed 25,000,000 shares of type-7 preferred stock and acquired 23,598,144 shares of type-8 preferred stock of DAIKYO. Since entering into the capital alliance, DAIKYO has shifted its business model from one focusing on “Flow business”, such as development and sale of condominiums, to one that achieves a balance between “Flow business” and “Stock business”, such as asset management and brokerage of condominiums. As a result of the shift, DAIKYO has developed business platforms that generate more stable financial performance.

On February 27, 2014, to increase earnings from its investment, the Company has exercised its conversion rights attached to all type-2 preferred stock, type-4 preferred stock, type-7 preferred stock and type-8 preferred stock of DAIKYO held by the Company. As a result, the Company acquired additional 398,204,999 shares of common stock of DAIKYO. Following the conversion, its voting rights in DAIKYO increased from 31.7% to 64.1% and DAIKYO became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company from an equity-method affiliate. There was no additional capital investment in DAIKYO in conjunction with the exercise of the acquisition rights.

 

Transaction costs of ¥23 million are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.

 

Prior to the exercise of the acquisition rights in February 2014, the Company’s interest in DAIKYO was accounted for under the equity-method of accounting. As a result of this step acquisition, the Company remeasured its previously held equity interest at its fair value of ¥124,606 million which was calculated based primarily on the market price of the common shares on an as-if converted basis adjusted for any control premium, and the Company recognized a gain of ¥58,435 million included in gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net in the consolidated statement of income.

 

The Company allocates the acquisition considerations in the amount of ¥124,606 million to DAIKYO’s respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed and records the identified assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest based on their fair values at the acquisition date using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”). The fair value of noncontrolling interest is measured based on the market price of the common shares held by noncontrolling shareholders as of the acquisition date.

The following table provides preliminary fair value amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed from DAIKYO. The acquisition occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized as of June 26, 2014. Because the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities require estimates based on various assumptions, the provisional amounts are subject to change as more information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date becomes available.

Goodwill and other intangible assets with a total preliminary fair value of ¥43,426 million was identified in the acquisition are included in other assets in the above table and the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. The goodwill is calculated as the excess of consideration transferred and the fair value of noncontrolling interest over the net assets recognized at fair value. The Company calculated the amount of goodwill based on preliminary estimates of fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest. The completion of the purchase price allocation could result in an adjustment to the amount of goodwill and other intangible assets. However, such an adjustment, if any, is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The goodwill represents the future growth of the ORIX Group from new revenue streams arising from the consolidation of DAIKYO and synergies with the existing Company’s assets and businesses. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with this acquisition are included in the Investment and Operation segment.

There are no total revenues and income from continuing operations of DAIKYO after acquisition included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

 

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is based on estimates and assumptions, that the Company believes are reasonable and should not be taken as indicative of what the Company’s consolidated financial results would have been had the acquisition been completed on that date.

 

Because the acquisition of DAIKYO was made near the fiscal year-end, the Company has not completed substantially all of the acquisition accounting as of June 26, 2014.

 

(3) Other acquisitions

 

During fiscal 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired entities for a total cost of ¥11,964 million, which was paid in cash. In accordance with the finalization of purchase price allocation during fiscal 2013, the amount of goodwill was adjusted from ¥4,024 million to ¥3,478 million, which is not deductible for income tax calculation purposes and the amount of acquired intangible assets other than goodwill recognized in these transactions was adjusted from ¥0 to ¥2,476 million. The acquisitions were mainly included in the Corporate Financial Services segment and the Overseas Business segment.

 

During fiscal 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired entities for a total cost of ¥70,537 million, which was paid in cash. In accordance with the finalization of purchase price allocation during fiscal 2014, the amount of goodwill was adjusted from ¥34,429 million to ¥24,114 million, of which ¥6,964 million is deductible for income tax calculation purposes. The amount of acquired intangible assets other than goodwill recognized in these transactions was adjusted from ¥14,491 million to ¥29,090 million. The acquisitions were mainly included in the Retail segment and the Investment and Operation segment.

 

During fiscal 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries acquired entities, other than Robeco and DAIKYO, for a total cost of ¥62,565 million, which was paid mainly in cash. Goodwill initially recognized in these transactions amounted to ¥39,507 million, of which ¥1,184 million is deductible for income tax calculation purposes. The amount of acquired intangible assets other than goodwill recognized was ¥1,343 million. The Company reflected certain preliminary estimates with respect to the fair value of the underlying net assets of these entities in determining amounts of the goodwill. The amount of the goodwill and intangible assets other than goodwill could possibly be adjusted because certain of these acquisitions were made near the fiscal year-end and the purchase price allocations have not completed yet. The acquisitions were mainly included in the Corporate Financial Services segment, the Investment and Operation segment and the Overseas Business segment.

 

The segment in which goodwill is allocated is disclosed in Note 13 (“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”).

A subsidiary elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) on its loans held for sale originated on or after October 1, 2011. The subsidiary enters into forward sale agreements to offset the change in the fair value of loans held for sale, and the election of the fair value option allows the subsidiary to recognize both the change in the fair value of the loans and the change in the fair value of the forward sale agreements due to changes in interest rates in the same accounting period.

 

Loans held for sale are included in installment loans, and the outstanding balances of these loans as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 were ¥17,939 million and ¥14,267 million, respectively. There were ¥16,026 million and ¥12,631 million of loans held for sale as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, measured at fair value by electing the fair value option.

 

For loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable at acquisition that collection of all contractually required payments from the debtors is unlikely, ASC 310-30 (“Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”) requires that the investor recognize the excess of the loan’s cash flows expected at acquisition over the investor’s initial investment as interest income on the level-yield basis over the remaining life of the purchased loan (“accretable yield”). ASC 310-30, however, does not prohibit placing loans on non-accrual status subsequent to acquisition, including use of the cost recovery or cash basis methods of income recognition when it is not appropriate to recognize the accretable yield, such as when the investor does not have sufficient information to reasonably estimate cash flows expected to be collected to compute the accretable yield.

 

Purchased loans acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries are generally characterized by extended period of non-performance by the borrower, and it is difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or nature of collections. Because such loans are commonly collateralized by real estate, the Company and its subsidiaries may pursue various approaches to maximizing the return from the collateral, including arrangement of borrower’s negotiated transaction of such collateral before foreclosure, the renovation, refurbishment or the sale of such loans to third parties. Accordingly, although the acquired assets may remain loans in legal form, collections on these loans often do not reflect the normal historical experience of collecting delinquent accounts, and the need to tailor individual collateral-realization strategies often makes it difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or

nature of collections. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries use the cost recovery method of income recognition for such purchased loans. The total carrying amounts of these purchased loans were ¥70,801 million and ¥53,341 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and the fair value at the acquisition date of purchased loans acquired during fiscal 2013 and 2014 were ¥5,672 million and ¥4,742 million, respectively.

 

When it is probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be unable to collect all book value, the Company and its subsidiaries consider purchased loans impaired, and a valuation allowance for the excess amount of the book value over the estimated recoverable amount of the loans is provided. For most cases, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the collateral value. Purchased loans for which valuation allowances were provided amounted to ¥29,107 million and ¥23,075 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Changes in the allowance for uncollectible accounts relating to the purchased loans for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 are as follows:

A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses. The Company and its subsidiaries classify our portfolio segments by instruments of loans and direct financing leases. Classes of financing receivables are determined based on the initial measurement attribute, risk characteristics of the financing receivables and the method for

monitoring and assessing obligors’ credit risk, and are defined as the level of detail necessary for a financial statement user to understand the risks inherent in the financing receivables. Classes of financing receivables generally are a disaggregation of a portfolio segment, and the Company and its subsidiaries disaggregate our portfolio segments into classes by regions, instruments or industries of debtors.

*1 Purchased loans represent loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable at acquisition that collection of all contractually required payments from the debtors is unlikely in accordance with ASC 310-30 (“Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”).

*4 Other mainly includes foreign currency translation adjustments and decrease in allowance related to newly consolidated subsidiaries. Additionally, Other in Non-recourse loans includes a decrease of ¥6,562 million due to the sale of controlling class interests of a certain VIE, which was formerly consolidated, to a third party and resulting in deconsolidation of that VIE.

 

In developing the allowance for credit losses, the Company and its subsidiaries consider, among other things, the following factors:

 

   

business characteristics and financial conditions of obligors;

 

   

current economic conditions and trends;

 

   

prior charge-off experience;

 

F-53


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

   

current delinquencies and delinquency trends; and

 

   

value of underlying collateral and guarantees.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries individually develop the allowance for credit losses for impaired loans. For non-impaired loans, including loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment, and direct financing leases, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate prior charge-off experience as segmented by debtor’s industry and the purpose of the loans and develop the allowance for credit losses based on such prior charge-off experience as well as current economic conditions.

 

In common with all portfolio segments, a deterioration of debtors’ condition may increase the risk of delay in payments of principal and interest. For loans to consumer borrowers, the amount of the allowance for credit losses is changed by the variation of individual debtors’ creditworthiness and value of underlying collateral and guarantees, and the prior charge-off experience. For loans to corporate other borrowers and direct financing leases, the amount of the allowance for credit losses is changed by current economic conditions and trends, the value of underlying collateral and guarantees, and the prior charge-off experience in addition to the debtors’ creditworthiness.

 

The decline of the value of underlying collateral and guarantees may increase the risk of inability to collect from the loans and direct financing leases. Particularly for non-recourse loans for which cash flow from real estate is the source of repayment, their collection depends on the real estate collateral value, which may decline as a result of decrease in liquidity of the real estate market, rise in vacancy rate of rental properties, fall in rents and other factors. These risks may change the amount of the allowance for credit losses. For purchased loans, their collection may decrease due to a decline in the real estate collateral value and debtors’ creditworthiness. Thus, these risks may change the amount of the allowance for credit losses.

 

In common with all portfolio segments, the Company and its subsidiaries charge off doubtful receivables when the likelihood of any future collection is believed to be minimal, mainly based upon an evaluation of the relevant debtors’ creditworthiness and the liquidation status of collateral.

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize installment loans other than purchased loans and loans to consumer borrowers as impaired loans when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more, or it is probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements due to various debtor conditions, including insolvency filings, suspension of bank transactions, dishonored bills and deterioration of businesses. For non-recourse loans, in addition to these conditions, the Company and its subsidiaries perform an impairment review using financial covenants, acceleration clauses, loan-to-value ratios, and other relevant available information.

 

For purchased loans, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize them as impaired loans when it is probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be unable to collect book values of the remaining investment due to factors such as a decline in the real estate collateral value and debtors’ creditworthiness since the acquisition of these loans.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries consider that loans to consumer borrowers, including housing loans, card loans and other, are impaired when terms of these loans are modified as troubled debt restructurings.

 

Interest payments received on impaired loans other than purchased loans are recorded as interest income unless the collection of the remaining investment is doubtful at which time payments received are recorded as reductions of principal. For purchased loans, although the acquired assets may remain loans in legal form, collections on these loans often do not reflect the normal historical experience of collecting delinquent accounts, and the need to tailor individual collateral-realization strategies often makes it difficult to reliably estimate the amount, timing, or nature of collections. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries use the cost recovery method of income recognition for such purchased loans regardless of whether impairment is recognized or not.

 

In common with all classes, impaired loans are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. For non-recourse loans, in principle, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the fair value of the collateral securing the loans as they are collateral-dependent. Further for certain non-recourse loans, the estimated collectible amount is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows. The fair value of the real estate collateral securing the loans is determined using appraisals prepared by independent third-party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. We generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, we periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions which may materially affect its fair value. For impaired purchased loans, the Company and its subsidiaries develop the allowance for credit losses based on the difference between the book value and the estimated collectible amount of such loans.

Note: Loans held for sale are not included in the table above.

 

In common with all classes, the Company and its subsidiaries monitor the credit quality indicators as performing and non-performing assets. The category of non-performing assets includes financing receivables for debtors who have filed for insolvency proceedings, whose bank transactions are suspended, whose bills are dishonored, whose repayment is past-due 90 days or more, financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings, and performing assets include all other financing receivables. Regarding purchased loans, they are classified as non-performing assets when considered impaired, while all the other loans are included in the category of performing assets.

 

Out of non-performing assets, the Company and its subsidiaries consider smaller balance homogeneous loans, including housing loans and card loans which are not restructured and direct financing leases, as 90 days or more past-due financing receivables not individually evaluated for impairment, and consider the others as loans individually evaluated for impairment. After the Company and its subsidiaries have set aside provision for those non-performing assets, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to monitor at least on a quarterly basis the quality of any underlying collateral, the status of management of the debtors and other important factors in order to report to management and develop additional provision as necessary.

In common with all classes, the Company and its subsidiaries consider financing receivables as past-due financing receivables when principal or interest is past-due 30 days or more. Loans whose terms have been modified are not classified as past-due financing receivables if the principals and interests are not past-due 30 days or more in accordance with the modified terms.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries suspend accruing revenues on past-due installment loans and direct financing leases when principal or interest is past-due 90 days or more, or earlier, if management determines that their collections are doubtful based on factors such as the individual debtor’s creditworthiness, historical loss experience, current delinquencies and delinquency trends. Cash repayments received on non-accrual loans are applied first against past due interest and then any surpluses are applied to principal in view of the conditions of the contract and obligors. The Company and its subsidiaries return to accrual status non-accrual loans and lease receivables when it becomes probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these loans and lease receivables, as evidenced by continual payments from the debtors. The period of such continual payments before returning to accrual status varies depending on factors that we consider are relevant in assessing the debtor’s creditworthiness, such as the debtor’s business characteristics and financial conditions as well as relevant economic conditions and trends.

A troubled debt restructuring is defined as a restructuring of a financing receivable in which the creditor grants a concession to the debtor for economic or other reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries offer various types of concessions to our debtors to protect as much of our investment as possible in troubled debt restructurings. For the debtors of non-recourse loans, the Company and its subsidiaries offer concessions including an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for a debt with similar risk characteristics. For the debtors of all financing receivables other than non-recourse loans, the Company and its subsidiaries offer concessions such as a reduction of the loan principal, a temporary reduction in the interest payments, or an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for a debt with similar risk characteristics. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries may acquire collateral assets from the debtors in troubled debt restructurings to satisfy fully or partially the loan principal or past due interest.

 

In common with all portfolio segments, financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings are recognized as impaired and are individually evaluated for a valuation allowance. In most cases, these financing receivables have already been considered impaired and individually evaluated for allowance for credit losses prior to the restructurings. However, as a result of the restructuring, the Company and its subsidiaries may recognize additional provision for the restructured receivables.

Gains and losses realized from the sale of trading securities and net unrealized holding gains (losses) on trading securities are included in net gains on investment securities. For further information, see Note 22 “Brokerage Commissions and Net Gains on Investment Securities”. For fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, net unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities were gains of ¥4,730 million, gains of ¥1,662 million and losses of ¥3,083 million, respectively.

 

During fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries sold available-for-sale securities for aggregate proceeds of ¥279,367 million, ¥417,534 million and ¥318,697 million, respectively, resulting in gross realized gains of ¥9,882 million, ¥17,830 million and ¥14,517 million, respectively, and gross realized losses of ¥963 million, ¥578 million and ¥368 million, respectively. The cost of the securities sold was based on the average cost of each such security held at the time of the sale.

 

During fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries charged losses on securities of ¥16,470 million, ¥22,838 million and ¥7,989 million, respectively, to the accompanying consolidated statements of income for declines in market value of securities where the decline was considered as other than temporary.

 

Other securities consist mainly of non-marketable equity securities, preferred capital shares carried at cost and investment funds carried at an amount that reflects equity income and loss based on the investor’s share. The aggregate carrying amount of other securities accounted for under the cost method totaled ¥86,406 million and ¥80,953 million at March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Investments with an aggregate cost of ¥83,591 million and ¥72,089 million, respectively, were not evaluated for impairment because the Company and its subsidiaries did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have had significant adverse effect on the fair value of those investments and it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments.

 

A subsidiary elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) for certain investments in equity securities included in available-for-sale securities, which as of March 31, 2014, were fair valued at ¥5,116 million.

Two subsidiary elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) for certain investments in a trust and investment funds included in other securities whose net asset values do not represent the fair value of investments due to the illiquid nature of these investments. The subsidiaries manage these investments on a fair value basis and the election of the fair value option enables the subsidiaries to reflect more appropriate assumptions to measure the fair value of these investments. As of March 31, 2013 and 2014, these investments were fair valued at ¥5,800 million and ¥6,317 million, respectively.

 

The amortized cost basis amounts, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses and fair values of available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities in each major security type at March 31, 2013 and 2014 are as follows:

The number of investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2013 and 2014 were 132 and 184, respectively. The gross unrealized losses on these securities are attributable to a number of factors including changes in interest rates, credit spreads and market trends.

 

For debt securities, in the case of the fair value being below the amortized cost, the Company and its subsidiaries consider whether those securities are other-than-temporarily impaired using all available information about their collectability. The Company and its subsidiaries do not consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if (1) the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the debt security, (2) it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and (3) the present value of estimated cash flows will fully cover the amortized cost of the security. On the other hand, the Company and its subsidiaries consider a debt security to be other-than-temporarily impaired if any of the above mentioned three conditions are not met.

 

Debt securities with unrealized loss position mainly include corporate debt securities in Japan, specified bonds issued by special purpose entities in Japan, CMBS and RMBS.

 

The unrealized loss associated with corporate debt securities is primarily due to changes in the market interest rate and risk premium. Considering all available information to assess the collectability of those investments (such as the financial condition of and business prospects for the issuers), the Company and its subsidiaries believe that the Company and its subsidiaries are able to recover the entire amortized cost basis of those investments. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.

 

The unrealized loss associated with specified bonds is primarily due to changes in the market interest rate and risk premium because of deterioration in the real estate market in Japan and the credit crunch in the capital and financial markets. Considering all available information to assess the collectability of those investments

(such as performance and value of the underlying real estate, and seniority of the bonds), the Company and its subsidiaries believe that the Company and its subsidiaries are able to recover the entire amortized cost basis of those investments. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.

 

The unrealized loss associated with CMBS and RMBS is primarily caused by changes in credit spreads and interest rates. In order to determine whether a credit loss exists, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the present value of anticipated cash flows, discounted at the current yield to accrete the security. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. Then, a credit loss is assessed by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the security’s amortized cost basis. Based on that assessment, the Company and its subsidiaries expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis and no credit impairment was identified. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.

 

For equity securities with unrealized losses, the Company and its subsidiaries consider various factors to determine whether the decline is other-than-temporary, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value and the issuer’s specific economic conditions as well as the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover the securities’ carrying amounts. Based on our ongoing monitoring process, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.

 

The total other-than-temporary impairment with an offset for the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 are as follows:

 

     Millions of yen

Total other-than-temporary impairment losses for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 related to equity securities and debt securities.

 

During fiscal 2012, other-than-temporary impairment losses related to debt securities are recognized mainly on certain specified bonds, certain mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. During fiscal 2013, other-than-temporary impairment losses related to debt securities are recognized mainly on certain specified bonds and on certain mortgage-backed securities. During fiscal 2014, other-than-temporary impairment losses related to debt securities are recognized mainly on certain mortgage-backed securities. Specified bonds have experienced credit losses due to decline in the value of the underlying assets. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities have experienced credit losses due to a decrease in cash flows attributable to significant default and bankruptcies on the underlying loans. Because the Company and its subsidiaries do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income

taxes. The credit loss assessment was made by comparing the securities’ amortized cost basis with the portion of the estimated fair value of the underlying assets available to repay the specified bonds, or with the present value of the expected cash flows from the mortgage-backed securities, that were estimated based on a number of assumptions such as seniority of the security.

Securities not due at a single maturity date, such as mortgage-backed securities, are included in the above table based on their final maturities.

 

Certain borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. This right may cause actual maturities to differ from the contractual maturities summarized above.

 

Included in interest on loans and investment securities in the consolidated statements of income is interest income on investment securities of ¥15,169 million, ¥11,505 million and ¥12,393 million for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company and a certain foreign subsidiary acquired debt securities with evidence of deterioration of credit quality at the time of acquisition, and it was not probable those debt securities were able to recover all contractual amounts. In accordance with the provision of ASC 310-30 (“Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”) and ASC 320 (“Investments—Debt and Equity Securities”), the Company and the subsidiary determined the expected future cash flows taking into account historical cash collections for debt securities with similar characteristics as well as expected prepayments and the amount and the timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for each pool of debt securities. Accretable yield represents the excess of expected future cash flows over carrying value of the debt securities, which is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the debt securities. For a debt security for which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the Company and a certain foreign subsidiary estimates the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security and compares it with the amortized cost basis of the security to determine whether a credit loss exists. If, based on current information and events, the

Company and the subsidiary determines a credit loss exists for that security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. For a debt security for which an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred, the Company and the subsidiary recognize the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value in earnings if the Company and the subsidiary intend to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that the Company and the subsidiary will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. On the other hand, if the Company and the subsidiary do not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company and the subsidiary will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the Company and the subsidiary separate the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities into the credit loss component and the non-credit loss component. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, and the non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. As of March 31, 2013 and 2014, the carrying amount and the nominal value of debt securities acquired with evidence of deterioration of credit quality were ¥5,556 million and ¥1,267 million, and ¥14,951 million and ¥6,112 million, and the outstanding balance of accretable yield was ¥4,994 million and ¥1,074 million, respectively.

 

10. Securitization Transactions

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have securitized various financial assets such as lease receivables and installment loans (commercial mortgage loans, housing loans and other).

 

In the securitization process, these financial assets are transferred to various vehicles (the “SPEs”), such as trusts and special-purpose companies that issue beneficial interests of the securitization trusts and securities backed by the financial assets to investors. The cash flows collected from these assets transferred to the SPEs are then used to repay these asset-backed beneficial interests and securities. As the transferred assets are isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries, the investors and the SPEs have no recourse to other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries in cases where the debtors or the issuers of the transferred financial assets fail to perform under the original terms of those financial assets.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries often retain interests in the SPEs in the form of the beneficial interest of the securitization trusts. Those interests that continue to be held include interests in the transferred assets and are often subordinate to other tranche(s) of the securitization. Those beneficial interests that continue to be held by the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk on the securitized financial assets. With regards to these subordinated interests that the Company and its subsidiaries retain, they are subordinated to the senior investments and are exposed to different credit and prepayment risks, since they first absorb the risk of the decline in the cash flows from the financial assets transferred to the SPEs for defaults and prepayment of the transferred assets. If there is any excess cash remaining in the SPEs after payment to investors in the securitization of the contractual rate of returns, most of such excess cash is distributed to the Company and its subsidiaries for payments of the subordinated interests.

 

In accordance with ASC 860 (“Transfers and Servicing”) and ASC 810 (“Consolidation”), trusts or SPEs used in securitization transactions have been consolidated if the Company and its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the trusts or SPEs.

 

During fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, there was no securitization transaction accounted for as a sale.

A certain subsidiary originates and sells loans into the secondary market while retaining the obligation to service those loans. In addition, it undertakes obligations to service loans originated by others. The servicing assets related to those servicing activities are included in other operating assets and the balances of these servicing assets as of March 31, 2013 and 2014 were ¥14,562 million and ¥16,911 million, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, the servicing assets were increased by ¥4,224 million and ¥4,355 million, respectively, mainly from loans sold with servicing retained and decreased by ¥3,045 million and ¥3,416 million, respectively, mainly from amortization and increased by ¥1,850 million and ¥1,410 million, respectively, from the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. The fair value of the servicing assets as of March 31, 2013 and 2014 were ¥19,376 million and ¥23,604 million, respectively.

 

11. Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company and its subsidiaries use special purpose companies, partnerships and trusts (hereinafter referred to as SPEs) in the ordinary course of business.

These SPEs are not always controlled by voting rights, and there are cases where voting rights do not exist for those SPEs. ASC 810 (“Consolidation”) addresses consolidation by business enterprises of SPEs within the scope of ASC 810. Generally these SPEs are entities where (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including the equity holders or (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have (1) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance through voting rights or similar rights, (2) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or (3) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. Entities within the scope of ASC 810 are called variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

 

According to ASC 810, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to perform a qualitative analysis to identify the primary beneficiary of VIEs. An enterprise that has both of the following characteristics is considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore shall consolidate a VIE:

 

   

The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance

 

   

The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE

 

All facts and circumstances are taken into consideration when determining whether the Company and its subsidiaries have variable interests that would deem it the primary beneficiary and therefore require consolidation of the VIE. The Company and its subsidiaries make ongoing reassessment of whether they are the primary beneficiaries of a VIE.

 

The following are the items that the Company and its subsidiaries are considering in a qualitative assessment:

 

   

Which activities most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and who has the power to direct such activities

 

   

Characteristics of the Company and its subsidiaries’ variable interest or interests and other involvements (including involvement of related parties and de facto agents)

 

   

Involvement of other variable interest holders

 

   

The entity’s purpose and design, including the risks that the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders

 

The Company and its subsidiaries generally consider the following types of involvement to be significant when determining the primary beneficiary:

 

   

Designing the structuring of a transaction

 

   

Providing an equity investment and debt financing

 

   

Being the investment manager, asset manager or servicer and receiving variable fees

 

   

Providing liquidity and other financial support

 

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have the power to direct activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance if that power is shared among multiple unrelated parties, and accordingly do not consolidate such VIEs.

* Maximum exposure to loss includes remaining balance of commitments that could require the Company and its subsidiaries to provide investments or loans to the VIE.

 

(a) VIEs for liquidating customer assets

 

The Company and its subsidiaries may use VIEs in structuring financing for customers to liquidate specific customer assets. The VIEs are typically used to provide a structure that is bankruptcy remote with respect to the customer and the use of VIE structure is requested by such customer. Such VIEs typically acquire assets to be liquidated from the customer, borrow non-recourse loans from financial institutions and have an equity investment made by the customer. By using cash flows from the liquidated assets, these VIEs repay the loan and pay dividends to equity investors if sufficient funds exist.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries provide non-recourse loans to such VIEs and occasionally make investments in them. The Company and its subsidiaries have consolidated some of those VIEs because the Company or its subsidiary effectively controls the VIEs by acting as the asset manager of the VIEs.

 

With respect to the variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, non-recourse loans are included in installment loans, and investments are mainly included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

(b) VIEs for acquisition of real estate and real estate development projects for customers

 

Customers and the Company and its subsidiaries are involved with VIEs formed to acquire real estate and/or develop real estate projects. In each case, a customer establishes and makes an equity investment in a VIE that is designed to be bankruptcy remote from the customer. The VIEs acquire real estate and/or develop real estate projects.

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

The Company and its subsidiaries provide non-recourse loans to such VIEs and hold specified bonds issued by them and/or make investments in them. The Company and its subsidiaries have consolidated certain VIEs because the Company or its subsidiary effectively controls the VIEs by acting as the asset manager of the VIEs.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries contributed additional funding to certain non-consolidated VIEs to support their repayment obligations, since those VIEs had difficulty repaying debt and accounts payable. The amount of that additional funding for fiscal 2013 was ¥2,000 million. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries performed a reassessment and consolidated those VIEs. There was no additional funding or acquisition of subordinated interests during fiscal 2014.

 

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of consolidated VIEs are mainly included in cash and cash equivalents, other operating assets, investment in affiliates and other receivables, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in short-term debt, trade notes, accounts payable and other liabilities.

 

With respect to the variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, specified bonds are included in investment in securities, non-recourse loans are included in installment loans, and investments are mainly included in investment in securities, investment in affiliates and other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company and its subsidiaries have commitment agreements by which the Company and its subsidiaries may be required to provide additional investment in certain non-consolidated VIEs as long as the agreed-upon terms are met. Under these agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries are committed to invest in these VIEs with the other investors based on their respective ownership percentages. The Company and its subsidiaries concluded that the VIEs are not consolidated because the power to direct these VIEs is held by unrelated parties. In some cases, the Company and its subsidiaries concluded that the VIEs are not consolidated because the power to direct these VIEs is shared among multiple unrelated parties.

 

(c) VIEs for acquisition of real estate for the Company and its subsidiaries’ real estate-related business

 

The Company and its subsidiaries establish VIEs and acquire real estate to borrow non-recourse loans from financial institutions and simplify the administration activities necessary for the real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries consolidate such VIEs even though the Company and its subsidiaries may not have voting rights if substantially all of such VIEs’ subordinated interests are issued to the Company and its subsidiaries, and therefore the VIEs are controlled by and for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries contributed additional funding to certain consolidated VIEs, since those VIEs had difficulty repaying debt and accounts payable. The amount of that additional funding for fiscal 2013 was ¥646 million. There was no additional funding or acquisition of subordinated interests during fiscal 2014.

 

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in investment in operating leases, office facilities, cash and cash equivalents and other assets, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debts.

 

(d) VIEs for corporate rehabilitation support business

 

Financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiary are involved with VIEs established for the corporate rehabilitation support business. VIEs receive the funds from investors including the financial institutions, the Company and the subsidiary, and purchase loan receivables due from borrowers which have financial problems, but are deemed to have the potential to recover in the future. The servicing operations for the VIEs are conducted by the subsidiary.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

The Company and its subsidiary consolidated such VIEs since the Company and the subsidiary have the majority of the investment share of such VIEs, and have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through the servicing operations.

 

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in installment loans, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in trade notes, accounts payable and other liabilities, and accrued expenses.

 

(e) VIEs for investment in securities

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have interests in VIEs that are investment funds and mainly invest in equity and debt securities. Such VIEs are managed by a subsidiary or fund management companies that are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company consolidated certain such VIEs since the Company has the majority of the investment share of them, and has the power to direct the activities of those VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through involvement with the design of the VIEs or other means.

 

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in investment in securities, investment in affiliates, installment loans, cash and cash equivalents, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in short-term debt and long-term debt.

 

Variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs, which the Company and its subsidiaries have, are included in investment in securities. The Company and its subsidiaries have a commitment agreement by which the Company may be required to make additional investments in certain such non-consolidated VIEs.

 

(f) VIEs for securitizing financial assets such as direct financing lease receivable and loan receivable

 

The Company and its subsidiaries use VIEs to securitize financial assets such as direct financing lease receivables and loan receivables. In the securitization process, these financial assets are transferred to SPEs, and the SPEs issue beneficial interests or securities backed by the transferred financial assets to investors. After the securitization, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to hold a subordinated part of the securities and act as a servicer.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries consolidated such VIEs since the Company and its subsidiaries have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance by designing the securitization scheme and conducting servicing activities, and have a responsibility to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities by retaining the subordinated part of the securities.

 

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in investment in direct financing leases and installment loans, and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt.

 

(g) VIEs for securitization of commercial mortgage loans originated by third parties

 

The Company and its subsidiaries invest in CMBS and RMBS originated by third parties. In some cases of such securitization, the Company’s subsidiaries hold the subordinated portion of CMBS and the subsidiaries act as a special-servicer of the securitization transaction. As the special servicer, the Company’s subsidiaries have rights to dispose of real estate collateral related to the securitized commercial mortgage loans.

The subsidiaries consolidate certain of these VIEs when the subsidiaries have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance through its role as special-servicer, including the right to dispose of the collateral, and have a responsibility to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities by holding the subordinated part of the securities.

 

In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, assets of the consolidated VIEs are mainly included in installment loans and liabilities of those consolidated VIEs are mainly included in long-term debt.

 

Variable interests of non-consolidated VIEs are included in investment in securities. The Company and its subsidiaries have a commitment agreement by which the Company may be required to make additional investment in certain such non-consolidated VIEs.

 

(h) Other VIEs

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved with other types of VIEs for various purposes. Consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs of this category are mainly kumiai structures. In addition, a subsidiary has consolidated a VIE that is not included in the categories (a) through (g) above, because the subsidiary holds the subordinated portion of the VIE and the VIE is effectively controlled by the subsidiary. The Company has commitment agreements by which the Company may be required to make additional investments or execute loans in such consolidated VIEs.

 

In Japan, certain subsidiaries provide investment products to their customers that employ a contractual mechanism known as a kumiai, which in part result in the subsidiaries forming a type of SPE. As a means to finance the purchase of aircraft or other large-ticket items to be leased to third parties, the Company and its subsidiaries arrange and market kumiai products to investors, who invest a portion of the funds necessary into the kumiai structure. The remainder of the purchase funds is borrowed by the kumiai structure in the form of a non-recourse loan from one or more financial institutions. The kumiai investors (and any lenders to the kumiai structure) retain all of the economic risks and rewards in connection with purchasing and leasing activities of the kumiai structure, and all related gains or losses are recorded on the financial statements of the investors in the kumiai. The Company and its subsidiaries are responsible for the arrangement and marketing of these products and may act as servicer or administrator in kumiai transactions. The fee income for the arrangement and administration of these transactions is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In some cases, the Company and its subsidiaries make investments in the kumiai or its related SPE, and these VIEs are consolidated because the Company and its subsidiaries have a responsibility to absorb any significant potential loss through the investments and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. In other cases, the Company and its subsidiaries are not considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs or kumiais because the Company and its subsidiaries did not make significant investments or guarantee or otherwise undertake any significant financial commitments or have exposure with respect to the kumiai or its related SPE.

 

A subsidiary may use VIEs to finance. A subsidiary transfer their own held assets to SPEs, which borrow non-recourse loan from financial institutions and effectively pledge such assets as collateral. The Company guarantees the performance of obligation of the SPEs. A subsidiary continually hold subordinated interests in the SPEs and perform administrative work of such assets. A subsidiary consolidate such SPEs because the Company and its subsidiaries have a right to direct the activities of them that most significantly impact their economic performance by setting up the scheme and performing administrative work of the assets and have the obligation to absorb losses expected of them by holding the subordinated interests.

The Company and its subsidiaries may use VIEs in solar power generation projects. VIEs receive the funds from the Company and the subsidiaries, install solar panels by acquiring or leasing lands, and sell the generated power to electric power companies. The Company and its subsidiaries have consolidated certain VIEs because the Company or its subsidiaries make investments in such VIEs and effectively control the VIEs by acting as the asset manager of the VIEs.

 

Assets of the consolidated SPEs are mainly included in investment in operating leases, installment loans, other operating assets, investment in securities and other assets, and liabilities are mainly included in short-term debt and long-term debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In fiscal 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries in Japan are subject to a National Corporate tax of 30%, an Inhabitant tax of approximately 6% and a deductible Enterprise tax of approximately 8%, which in the aggregate result in a statutory income tax rate of approximately 40.9%. In fiscal 2013 and 2014, as a result of the tax reforms, the National Corporation tax was reduced from 30% to approximately 28% and accordingly, the statutory income tax rate was reduced to approximately 38.3%.

The effective income tax rate is different from the statutory tax rate primarily because of certain non-deductible expenses for tax purposes, non-taxable income for tax purposes, a change in valuation allowance, the effect of lower income tax rates on foreign subsidiaries and a domestic life insurance subsidiary and the effect of the tax reforms as discussed in the following paragraph.

 

On November 30, 2011, the bill for reconstruction funding after the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the bill for the 2011 tax reform were approved by the National Diet of Japan. From fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012, the Japanese corporation tax rate is reduced, and as a result, the statutory income tax rate for fiscal years beginning between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015 is reduced to approximately 38.3%. The rate for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2015 will be reduced to approximately 35.9%. In addition, tax loss carry-forward rules are amended. The carry-forward period is extended to nine years, compared to seven years under the pre-amendment rules. Further, the deductible amount is limited to 80% of taxable income for the year, while total amount of taxable income for the year was available for the deduction under the pre-amendment rules. The amendment to the carry-forward period is applicable for tax losses incurred in fiscal years ending on or after April 1, 2008 and the amendment to the deductible amount is applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012. Increase and decrease of the deferred tax assets and liabilities due to these tax reforms resulted in a decrease of provision for income taxes by ¥6,641 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in fiscal 2012.

 

On March 20, 2014, the bill for reconstruction funding and the bill for local corporate tax were approved by the National Diet of Japan. For a fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2014, special corporate tax for reconstruction will not be charged, and as a result, the statutory income tax rate for a fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2014 will be reduced from approximately 38.3% to approximately 35.9%. In addition, from fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2014, the statutory national income tax rate will increase from approximately 23.6% to approximately 24.6% and the statutory local income tax rate will decrease from approximately 12.3% to approximately 11.3%, while total statutory income tax rate will be remained as 35.9%.

The valuation allowance is mainly recognized for deferred tax assets of consolidated subsidiaries with net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and tax loss carryforwards are utilizable. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company and its subsidiaries will realize the benefits of these deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards, net of the existing valuation allowances at March 31, 2014. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. The net changes in the total valuation allowance were decreases of ¥2,656 million in fiscal 2012, decreases of ¥5,307 million in fiscal 2013, and increases of ¥9,838 million in fiscal 2014. The adjustments to the beginning-of-the-year amount in the total valuation allowance resulting from reassessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years were increases of ¥4,303 million in fiscal 2012, decreases of ¥4,749 million in fiscal 2013, and decreases of ¥1,908 million in fiscal 2014.

 

The Company and certain subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards of ¥387,269 million at March 31, 2014, which expire as follows:

Subsidiaries in the United States remain subject to a tax examination for the tax years after fiscal 2008. Subsidiaries in the Netherlands remain subject to a tax examination for the tax years after fiscal 2002.

 

17. Pension Plans

 

The Company and certain subsidiaries have contributory and non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. Those contributory funded pension plans include defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump-sum payments at the time of termination of their employment or pension payments. Defined benefit pension plans consist of a plan of which the amounts of such payments are determined on the basis of length of service and remuneration at the time of termination and a cash balance plan.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries’ funding policy is to contribute annually the amounts actuarially determined. Assets of the plans are invested primarily in interest-bearing securities and marketable equity securities.

Significant assumptions of Japanese pension plans and overseas plans pension plans used to determine these amounts are as follows:

 

Japanese plans

   2012     2013     2014  

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at March 31:

      

Discount rate

     1.8     1.8     1.4

Rate of increase in compensation levels

     6.1     6.0     5.1

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost for years ended March 31:

      

Discount rate

     2.1     1.8     1.8

Rate of increase in compensation levels

     6.1     6.1     6.0

Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets

     2.2     2.2     2.2

 

Overseas plans

   2012     2013     2014  

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at March 31:

      

Discount rate

     4.5     4.3     3.5

Rate of increase in compensation levels

     0.7     0.6     2.8

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost for years ended March 31:

      

Discount rate

     5.5     4.5     4.3

Rate of increase in compensation levels

     0.8     0.7     0.6

Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets

     7.2     7.2     5.6

 

The Company and certain subsidiaries determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets annually based on the composition of the pension asset portfolios and the expected long-term rate of return on these portfolios. The expected long-term rate of return is designed to approximate the long-term rate of return actually earned on the plans’ assets over time to ensure that funds are available to meet the pension obligations that result from the services provided by employees. The Company and certain subsidiaries use a number of factors to determine the expected rate of return, including actual historical returns on the asset classes of the plans’ portfolios and independent projections of returns of the various asset classes.

 

The Company and certain subsidiaries’ investment policies are designed to ensure adequate plan assets are available to provide future payments of pension benefits to eligible participants. The Company and certain subsidiaries formulate a policy portfolio appropriate to produce the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and to ensure that plan assets are allocated under this policy portfolio. The Company and certain subsidiaries periodically have an external consulting firm monitor the results of actual return and revise the policy portfolio if necessary.

 

The three levels of input used to measure fair value are described in Note 2 (“Fair Value Measurement”).

The Japanese Companies Act (the “Act”) provides that an amount equivalent to 10% of any dividends resulting from appropriation of retained earnings be appropriated to the legal reserve until the aggregate amount of the additional paid-in capital and the legal reserve equals 25% of the issued capital. The Act also provides that both additional paid-in capital and the legal reserve are not available for dividends but may be capitalized or may be reduced by resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. However, if specified in the Company’s articles of incorporation, dividends can be declared by the Board of Directors instead of the general meeting of shareholders. In accordance with this, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved in May 2014 that a total of ¥30,117 million dividends shall be distributed to the shareholders of record as of March 31, 2014. The liability for declared dividends and related impact on total equity is accounted for in the period of such Board of Directors’ resolution.

 

The Act provides that at least one-half of amounts paid for new shares are included in common stock when they are issued. In conformity therewith, the Company has divided the principal amount of bonds converted into common stock and proceeds received from the issuance of common stock, including the exercise of warrants and stock acquisition rights, equally between common stock and additional paid-in capital, and set off expenses related to the issuance from the additional paid-in capital.

 

The amount available for dividends under the Act is calculated based on the amount recorded in the Company’s non-consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. As a result, the amount available for dividends is ¥276,487 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

Retained earnings at March 31, 2014 include ¥40,226 million relating to equity in undistributed earnings of the companies accounted for by the equity method.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the restricted net assets of certain subsidiaries, which include regulatory capital requirements mainly for banking operations and life insurance of ¥42,765 million, do not exceed 25% of consolidated net assets.

Gains on derivative trading instruments are included in income from discontinued operations. For further information, see Note 27 “Discontinued Operations.”

 

23. Life Insurance Operations

 

Life insurance premiums and related investment income in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 consist of the following:

 

     Millions of yen  
     2012      2013      2014

The benefits and expenses of life insurance operations included in life insurance costs in the consolidated statements of income are recognized so as to associate with earned premiums over the life of contracts. This association is accomplished by means of the provision for future policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition costs (principally commissions and certain other expenses relating to policy issuance and underwriting). These policy acquisition costs are amortized over the respective policy periods in proportion to premium revenue recognized. Amortization charged to income for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 amounted to ¥7,307 million, ¥7,196 million and ¥9,701 million, respectively. The amount for fiscal 2012 is adjusted retrospectively due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2010-26.

26. Write-downs of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”), the Company and its subsidiaries perform tests for recoverability on assets for which events or changes in circumstances indicated that the assets might be impaired. The Company and its subsidiaries consider an asset’s carrying amount as not recoverable when such carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The net carrying amount of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than the carrying amount. We determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers, based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate.

 

During fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company and certain subsidiaries recognized impairment losses for the difference between carrying amounts and fair values in the amount of ¥20,246 million, ¥21,053 million and ¥26,742 million, respectively, which are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets and income from discontinued operations. Of these amounts, ¥15,167 million, ¥17,896 million and ¥23,421 million are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Breakdowns of these amounts by segment are provided in Note 34 (“Segment Information”).

 

The details of significant write-downs are as follows.

 

Office Buildings—During fiscal 2012, write-downs of ¥1,055 million were recorded for 17 office buildings held for sale, and write-downs of ¥605 million were recorded in relation to three office buildings due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit. During fiscal 2013, write-downs of ¥1,055 million were recorded for 14 office buildings held for sale, and write-downs of ¥923 million were recorded in relation to two office buildings due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit. During fiscal 2014, write-downs of ¥1,445 million were recorded for five office buildings held for sale, write-downs of ¥3,582 million were recorded in relation to two office buildings due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit, and write-downs of ¥4,109 million were recorded for an office building due to change in use.

 

Condominiums—During fiscal 2012, write-downs of ¥1,108 million were recorded for 25 condominiums held for sale, and write-downs of ¥269 million were recorded in relation to five condominiums due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit. During fiscal 2013, write-downs of ¥1,142 million were recorded for 13 condominiums held for sale, and write-downs of ¥3,853 million were recorded in relation to four condominiums due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit or property. During fiscal 2014, write-downs of ¥988 million were recorded for a condominium held for sale.

 

Commercial Facilities Other Than Office Buildings—During fiscal 2012, write-downs of ¥385 million were recorded for seven buildings held for sale. During fiscal 2013, write-downs of ¥442 million were recorded for four buildings held for sale, and write-downs of ¥1,582 million were recorded in relation to two buildings due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit. During fiscal 2014, write-downs of ¥137 million were recorded for a building held for sale, and write-downs of ¥2,976 million were recorded in relation to two buildings due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit.

 

Land undeveloped or under construction—During fiscal 2012, write-downs of ¥2,220 million were recorded for land undeveloped or under construction held for sale, and write-downs of ¥6,983 million were recorded in relation to land undeveloped or under construction due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit. During fiscal 2013, write-downs of ¥608 million were recorded for land undeveloped or under construction

held for sale, and write-downs of ¥6,818 million were recorded in relation to land undeveloped or under construction due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit. During fiscal 2014, write-downs of ¥713 million were recorded for land undeveloped or under construction held for sale, and write-downs of ¥3,787 million were recorded in relation to land undeveloped or under construction due to a decline in estimated cash flows of each unit.

 

Others—During fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, write-downs of ¥7,621 million, ¥4,630 million and ¥9,005 million, respectively, for long-lived assets other than the above were recorded, mainly because the carrying amounts exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, which decreased due to deterioration in operating performance. In addition, write-down of long-lived assets in fiscal 2014 includes write-downs of ¥5,052 million of a building used for training facility in facilities operation business and ¥1,292 million of information-related equipment in rental operation.

 

27. Discontinued Operations

 

ASC 205-20 (“Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations”) requires that the Company and its subsidiaries reclassify the operations sold or disposed of, or to be disposed of by sale without significant continuing involvement in the operations to discontinued operations. Under this Codification Section, the Company and its subsidiaries report the gains on sales and the results of these operations of subsidiaries, business units, and certain properties, which have been sold or are to be disposed of by sale, as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Revenues and expenses generated by the operations of such subsidiaries, business units and properties recognized in fiscal 2012 and 2013 have also been reclassified as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

During fiscal 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries sold a subsidiary which operated real-estate rental business, a subsidiary that operated a Japanese inn and hotel, a subsidiary that operated a golf course, a subsidiary that operated ski resorts, a subsidiary that operated a property management business and a subsidiary that operated a spa facility. In addition, the Company liquidated a kumiai, which was effectively a type of SPE, seeking for rent revenue. As a result of the sales and the liquidation, a loss of ¥361 million was recognized during fiscal 2012.

 

During fiscal 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries completed the liquidation procedure for a kumiai in Japan which was effectively a type of SPE, operating private-equity investment and management, and the Company wound up a subsidiary overseas which operated reinsurance business. As a result, a loss of ¥13 million was recognized during fiscal 2013. Furthermore, the Company has determined to wind up a subsidiary that operates M&A advisory services business in Japan and a subsidiary that operates alternative investment business in Japan during fiscal 2013. There were no significant assets or liabilities of the subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2013. Net losses of ¥1,188 million and net losses of ¥370 million on derivative trading instruments are included in income from discontinued operations for the subsidiary that operates alternative investment business in Japan for fiscal 2012 and 2013, respectively.

 

During fiscal 2014, the Company liquidated a subsidiary that operated a hotel. The Company has also determined to wind up an overseas subsidiary that operated corporate finance business and the liquidation of the subsidiary substantially completed. As a result, a loss of ¥1,600 million was recognized during fiscal 2014. Furthermore, the Company determined to wind up a subsidiary that operates alternative investment business in Japan during fiscal 2013 but completed the liquidation procedure for the subsidiary during fiscal 2014. There were no gains or losses from liquidating this subsidiary.

29. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

 

Risk management policy

 

The Company and its subsidiaries manage interest rate risk through asset and liability management systems. The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk and avoid changes in interest rates that could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. As a result of interest rate changes, the fair value and/or cash flow of interest sensitive assets and liabilities will fluctuate. However, such fluctuation will generally be offset by using derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments. Derivative financial instruments that the Company and its subsidiaries use as part of the interest risk management include interest rate swaps.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries utilize foreign currency borrowings, foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency swap agreements to hedge exchange rate risk associated with certain transactions and investments denominated in foreign currencies. Similarly, overseas subsidiaries generally structure their liabilities to match the currency-denomination of assets in each region.

 

By using derivative instruments, the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. The Company and its subsidiaries attempt to manage the credit risk by carefully evaluating the content of transactions and the quality of counterparties in advance and regularly monitoring the amount of notional principal, fair value, type of transaction and other factors pertaining to each counterparty.

 

(a) Cash flow hedges

 

The Company and its subsidiaries designate interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges for variability of cash flows originating from floating rate borrowings and forecasted transactions and for exchange fluctuations. Net gains (losses) before deducting applicable taxes on derivative contracts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when earnings were affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged

 

F-112

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

item. The amounts of these net gains (losses) after deducting applicable taxes were net gains of ¥181 million, net losses of ¥824 million and net losses of ¥915 million during fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. No amount of net gains (losses), which represent the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges, was recorded in earnings for fiscal 2012, and ¥69 million of losses and ¥269 million of gains were recorded in earnings for fiscal 2013 and 2014, respectively. Approximately ¥482 million of net derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes at March 31, 2014 will be reclassified into earnings within fiscal 2015.

 

(b) Fair value hedges

 

The Company and its subsidiaries use financial instruments designated as fair value hedges to hedge their exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. The Company and its subsidiaries designate foreign currency swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign currency exposures on lease receivables, loan receivables and borrowings, denominated in foreign currency. The Company and its subsidiaries designate interest rate swap to hedge interest rate exposure of the fair values of loan receivables. The Company and certain overseas subsidiaries, which issued medium-term notes or bonds with fixed interest rates, use interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate exposure of the fair values of these medium-term notes. In cases where the medium-term notes were denominated in other than the subsidiaries’ local currencies, foreign currency swap agreements are used to hedge foreign exchange rate exposure. A certain overseas subsidiary uses foreign currency long-term-debt to hedge foreign exchange rate exposure from unrecognized firm commitment. For fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014, net losses of ¥265 million, ¥47 million and ¥20 million of hedge ineffectiveness associated with instruments designated as fair value hedges were recorded in earnings.

 

(c) Hedges of net investment in foreign operations

 

The Company uses foreign exchange contracts, borrowings and bonds denominated in the subsidiaries’ local currencies to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the net investment in overseas subsidiaries. The gains and losses of these hedging instruments were recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, which is a part of other comprehensive income (loss).

 

(d) Trading derivatives or derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

 

The Company and its subsidiaries engage in trading activities involving various future contracts. Therefore the Company and the subsidiaries are at various risks such as share price fluctuation risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. The Company and the subsidiaries check that these risks are below a certain level by using internal indicators and determine whether such contracts should be continued or not. The Company and certain subsidiaries entered into certain interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts for risk management purposes which are not qualified for hedge accounting under ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”).

 

ASC 815-10-50 (“Derivatives and Hedging—Disclosures”) requires companies to disclose the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains (losses) in tabular format, as well as information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment on derivative instruments that are in net liability positions. There are no derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position on March 31, 2013 and 2014.

 

ASC 815-10-50 (“Derivatives and Hedging—Disclosures”) requires sellers of credit derivatives to disclose additional information about credit-risk-related potential payment risk.

31. Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have established various policies and procedures to manage credit exposure, including initial credit approval, credit limits, collateral and guarantee requirements, obtaining rights of offset and continuous oversight. The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal financial instrument portfolio

 

F-120


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

consists of investment in direct financing leases which are secured by title to the leased assets and installment loans which are secured by assets specifically collateralized in relation to loan agreements. When deemed necessary, guarantees are also obtained. The value and adequacy of the collateral are continually monitored. Consequently, the risk of credit loss from counterparties’ failure to perform in connection with collateralized financing activities is believed to be minimal. The Company and its subsidiaries have access to collateral in case of bankruptcy and other losses. However, a significant decline in real estate markets could result in a decline in fair value of the collateral real estate below the mortgage setting amount, which would expose the Company and certain subsidiaries to unsecured credit risk.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries make investments in securities for various purposes. The risk of incurring significant losses during a certain period is believed to be minimal due to the diversification in the investment portfolio. However, various factors, including the issuer’s credit risk and market trends, could expose the Company and its subsidiaries to a risk of unexpected loss.

 

At March 31, 2013 and 2014, no concentration with a single obligor exceeded 1% of the Company’s consolidated total assets. With respect to the Company and its subsidiaries’ credit exposures on a geographic basis, ¥4,723 billion, or 77%, at March 31, 2013 and ¥4,752 billion, or 79%, at March 31, 2014 of the credit risks arising from all financial instruments are attributable to customers located in Japan. The largest concentration of credit risk outside of Japan is exposure attributable to obligors located in the United States. The gross amount of such exposure is ¥777 billion and ¥503 billion as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Since the Company and its subsidiaries adopted ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 on April 1, 2010, which changed the circumstances under which we are required to consolidate certain VIEs, the amounts above in relation to our exposure in the United States mainly include the effect of such consolidated VIEs.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries run businesses such as development and rental of commercial real estate and office buildings, condominium development and sales, hotel, golf course, and training facility operation. Real estate in development and rental business is mainly recorded in investment in direct financing leases and operating leases. In connection with investment in direct financing leases and operating leases, the percentage of investment in real estate to consolidated total assets is 11.7% and 9.7% as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have transportation equipment such as automobile operations and aircraft. Transportation equipment is mainly recorded in investment in direct financing leases and operating leases. In connection with investment in direct financing leases and operating leases, the percentage of investment in transportation equipment to consolidated total assets is 10.4% and 10.9% as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries provide consumers with housing loans. In connection with installment loans, the percentage of housing loans to consolidated total assets is 10.9% and 10.8% as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Input level of fair value measurement

 

If active market prices are available, fair value measurement is based on quoted active market prices and classified as Level 1. If active market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 such as quoted market prices of similar assets and classified as Level 2. If market prices are not available and there are no observable inputs, then fair value is estimated by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies, commonly used option-pricing models and broker quotes and classified as Level 3, as the valuation models and broker quotes are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

Estimation of fair value

 

The following methods and significant assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate a value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits and short-term debt—The carrying amounts recognized in the balance sheets were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short maturity.

 

Installment loans—The carrying amounts of floating-rate installment loans with no significant changes in credit risk and which could be repriced within a short-term period were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. The carrying amounts of purchased loans were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values because the carrying amounts (net of allowance) are considered to properly reflect the recoverability and value of these loans. For certain homogeneous categories of medium- and long-term fixed-rate loans, such as housing loans, the estimated fair values were calculated by discounting the future cash flows using the current interest rates charged by the Company and its subsidiaries for new loans made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. Concerning above, if available, estimated fair values were based on quoted market prices or quotations provided by dealers.

 

Investment in securities—For trading securities and available-for-sale securities other than specified bonds issued by SPEs and certain other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, the estimated fair values, which are also the carrying amounts recorded in the balance sheets, were generally based on quoted market prices or quotations provided by dealers. As for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs and certain other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities included in available-for-sale securities, the Company and its subsidiaries estimated the fair value by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies and broker quotes (see Note 2). For held-to-maturity securities, the estimated fair values were based on quoted market prices. For certain investment funds included in other securities, the fair values are estimated based on net asset value per share or discounted cash flow methodologies. With regard to other securities other than the investment funds described above, the Company and its subsidiaries have not estimated the fair value, as it is not practicable to do so. Those other securities mainly consist of non-marketable equity securities and preferred capital shares. Because there were no quoted market prices for such other securities and each security has a different nature and characteristics, reasonable estimates of fair values could not be made without incurring excessive costs.

 

Deposits—The carrying amounts of demand deposits recognized in the consolidated balance sheets were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. The estimated fair values of time deposits were calculated by discounting the future cash flows. The current interest rates offered for the deposits with similar terms and remaining average maturities were used as the discount rates.

 

Long-term debt—The carrying amounts of long-term debt with floating rates which could be repriced within short-term periods were determined to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. For medium-and long-term fixed-rate debt, the estimated fair values were calculated by discounting the future cash flows. The borrowing interest rates that were currently available to the Company and its subsidiaries offered by financial institutions for debt with similar terms and remaining average maturities were used as the discount rates. Concerning above, if available, estimated fair values were based on quoted market prices or quotations provided by dealers.

 

Derivatives—For exchange-traded derivatives, fair value is based on quoted market prices. Fair value estimates for other derivatives generally reflect the estimated amounts that the Company and its subsidiaries would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, thereby taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. Discounted amounts of future cash flows using the current interest rate are used when estimating the fair values for most of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ derivatives.

Guarantee of corporate loans: The Company and certain subsidiaries mainly guarantee corporate loans issued by financial institutions for customers. The Company and its subsidiaries are obliged to pay the outstanding loans when the guaranteed customers fail to pay principal and/or interest in accordance with the contract terms. In some cases, the corporate loans are secured by the guaranteed customers’ assets. Once the Company and its subsidiaries assume the guaranteed customers’ obligation, the Company and its subsidiaries obtain a right to claim the collateral assets. In other cases, certain contracts that guarantee corporate loans issued by financial institutions for customers include contracts that the amounts of performance guarantee are limited to a range of guarantee commissions. As of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, total notional amount of the loans subject to such guarantees are ¥1,239,000 million and ¥1,269,000 million respectively, and book value of guarantee liabilities which amount is included in the table above are ¥734 million and ¥823 million, respectively. The potential future payment amounts included in the table above for these guarantees are limited to the agreed range of the guarantee commissions, which are less than the total notional amounts of the loans subject to these guarantees.

 

Payment or performance risk of the guarantees is considered based on the historical experience of credit events. There have been no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of the guarantees in fiscal 2014.

 

Guarantee of transferred loans: A subsidiary in the United States is authorized to underwrite, originate, fund, and service multi-family and seniors housing loans without prior approval from Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program. As part of this program, Fannie Mae provides a commitment to purchase the loans.

 

In return for the delegated authority, the subsidiary guarantees the performance of certain housing loans transferred to Fannie Mae and has the payment or performance risk of the guarantees to absorb some of the losses when losses arise from the transferred loans.

 

There were no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of these guarantees in fiscal 2014.

Guarantee of consumer loans: A subsidiary guarantees consumer loans, typically card loans, issued by Japanese financial institutions. The subsidiary is obligated to pay the outstanding obligations when these loans become delinquent generally for more than a month.

 

Payment or performance risk of the guarantees is considered based on the historical experience of credit events.

 

There were no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of the guarantees in fiscal 2014.

 

Guarantee of housing loans: The Company and certain subsidiaries guarantee housing loans issued by Japanese financial institutions to third party individuals. The Company and its subsidiaries are typically obliged to pay the outstanding loans when these loans become delinquent more than three months. The housing loans are usually secured by the real properties. Once the Company and its subsidiaries assume the guaranteed parties’ obligation, the Company and its subsidiaries obtain a right to claim the collateral assets.

 

Payment or performance risk of the guarantees is considered based on the historical experience of credit events.

 

There were no significant changes in the payment or performance risk of the guarantees in fiscal 2014.

 

Other guarantees: Other guarantees include the guarantees to financial institutions and the guarantees derived from collection agency agreements. Pursuant to the contracts of the guarantees to financial institutions, a subsidiary pays to the financial institutions when customers of the financial institutions become debtors and default on the debts. Pursuant to the agreements of the guarantees derived from collection agency agreements, the Company and certain subsidiaries collect third parties’ debt and pay the uncovered amounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

ORIX Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

Segment figures reported in these tables include operations classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are almost the same as those described in Note 1 (“Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies”) except for the treatment of income tax expenses, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests, income from discontinued operations and the consolidation of certain variable interest entities (VIEs). Income taxes are not included in segment profits or losses because the management evaluates segments’ performance on a pre-tax basis. Also, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests are not included in segment profits or losses because the management evaluates segments’ performance based on profits or losses (per-tax) attributable to ORIX Corporation Shareholders. On the other hand, income from discontinued operations is included in segment profits or losses because the management considers such disposal activities as part of the ordinary course of business. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and income from discontinued operations, which are recognized net of tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, are adjusted to profit or loss before income taxes, when calculating segment profits or losses. Most of selling, general and administrative expenses, including compensation costs that are directly related to the revenue generating activities of each segment, have been accumulated by and charged to each segment. Gains and losses that management does not consider for evaluating the performance of the segments, such as write-downs of certain securities, write-downs of certain long-lived assets and certain foreign exchange gains or losses are excluded from the segment profits or losses, and are regarded as corporate items.

 

Assets attributed to each segment are investment in direct financing leases, installment loans, investment in operating leases, investment in securities, other operating assets, investment in affiliates, inventories, advances for investment in operating leases (included in other assets), advances for investment in other operating assets (included in other assets) and goodwill and other intangible assets recognized as a result of business combination (included in other assets). This has resulted in the depreciation of office facilities being included in each segment’s profit or loss while the carrying amounts of corresponding assets are not allocated to each segment’s assets. However, the effect resulting from this allocation is not significant.

 

For those VIEs that are used for securitization and are consolidated in accordance with ASC 810 (“Consolidations”), for which the VIE’s 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.

35. Subsequent Events

 

On April 28, 2014, ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (hereinafter, “ORIX Life Insurance”), a subsidiary of the Company, decided, subject to obtaining the required approval of relevant regulatory authorities, to purchase all issued shares of Hartford Life Insurance K.K. (Address: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Business Description: Life insurance business and reinsurance business, hereinafter “HLIKK”) held by Hartford Life, Inc. (Address: Simsbury, Connecticut, U.S.A.) in order to enhance its capital strength and improve the soundness of its management, in view of accelerating its growth. Upon closing, HLIKK would become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

 

Total acquisition cost of the HLIKK’s shares was estimated at $895 million. (approximately ¥91.6 billion) as of April 28, 2014. However, the purchase price is subject to potential upward or downward adjustments at the closing date based on changes in the adjusted net worth of HLIKK.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are currently evaluating the effect of this purchase on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations and financial position as of the date of this filling.

 

The purchase is targeted to be closed during July 2014.
