Results at a glance

  • Revenue for FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥5.63T, down -8.8% from ¥6.17T a year earlier.
  • Profit moved the other way: net income attributable to owners rose +36.7%, from ¥123.5B to ¥168.8B.
  • Operating cash flow was -¥1.88T, a larger outflow than the -¥1.63T of the prior year.

What drove the change

  • Sales of single-premium whole life policies dropped, which pulled premium income and revenue down.
  • Fewer new policies also meant a lighter first-year reserve charge, a cost insurers book when they sign new contracts, which lifted profit.
  • Higher interest rates and gains from domestic stocks and alternative assets widened the spread between investment returns and the rates promised to policyholders.

Things to watch

  • The number of policies in force keeps shrinking; if sales efforts fail to turn this around, results could suffer.
  • If interest rates rise faster than expected, more customers may cancel and move to higher-yielding products.
  • The company lists cyber attacks among its most important risks.
