Presentation of Financial and Other Information

As used in this Form 6-K, references to “Nomura” or “NHI” are to Nomura Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated entities.

Unless otherwise stated, references in this Form 6-K to “yen” are to Japanese yen. Amounts shown in this Form 6-K have been rounded to the nearest indicated digit unless otherwise specified. In tables and paragraphs with rounded figures, sums may not add up due to rounding.

Except as otherwise indicated, all financial information with respect to Nomura presented in this Form 6-K is presented on an unaudited consolidated basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.

Supplement for Financial Highlights – Three months ended June 30, 2011

Nomura reported net revenue of 330.4 billion yen, income before income taxes of 34.4 billion yen, and net income attributable to NHI shareholders of 17.8 billion yen for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Basic and Diluted-net income attributable to NHI shareholders per share was 4.93 yen and 4.90 yen respectively. Annualized return on shareholders’ equity1 was 3.4%.

 

i.) Financial position

As of June 30, 2011, Nomura’s total capital ratio2 was 19.8% and its Tier 1 capital ratio2 was 16.2%. Nomura had total assets of 39.7 trillion yen, an increase of 3.0 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2011, reflecting primarily an increase in Trading assets, Office buildings, land, equipment and facilities, Securities borrowed, and etc. Total liabilities as of June 30, 2011 were 37.3 trillion yen, an increase of 2.7 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2011, mainly due to an increase in Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Long-term borrowings. Total equity as of June 30, 2011 was 2.4 trillion yen, an increase of 323.5 billion yen compared to March 31, 2011. Leverage ratio as of June 30, 2011 was 18.9 times and adjusted leverage ratio3 was 11.6 times.

 

 

1 

Annualized return on shareholders’ equity is a ratio of Net income attributable to NHI shareholders to Total NHI shareholders’ equity multiplied by four.

2 

These ratios represent preliminary estimates as of the date of this supplement release and may be revised in Nomura’s Quarterly Securities Report on Form 6-K for the period ended June 30, 2011.

Beginning from the end of March 2009, Nomura elected to calculate the consolidated capital adequacy ratios according to the “Criteria for bank holding companies to judge whether their capital adequacy status is appropriate in light of their own and their subsidiaries’ asset holdings, etc. under Article 52-25 of the Banking Act”, instead of calculating these ratios in accordance with the guideline applicable to financial conglomerates. Total capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio are non-GAAP financial measures that Nomura considers to be useful measures that Nomura and investors use to assess financial position.

3 

Adjusted leverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that Nomura considers to be a useful measure that Nomura and investors use to assess financial position. Adjusted leverage ratio equals total assets less securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities borrowed divided by total NHI shareholders’ equity.

Nomura provides investment, financing and related services in the capital markets on a global basis. In the global capital markets there exist uncertainties due to, but not limited to, economic and market conditions. Nomura, therefore, does not present earnings forecasts. Fiscal year 2012 Q2 and Q4 dividend amounts are not presented for the reasons stated above. Nomura plans to forgo dividend distribution for Q3 of fiscal year 2012.

vii.) Others

 

(1) Changes in Significant Subsidiaries during the Period

In May 2011, Nomura increased its stake in Nomura Land and Building Co., Ltd. (“NLB”) by acquiring additional NLB shares and thereby made it a subsidiary. As a result, Nomura Real Estate Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of NLB, became a Specified Subsidiary of Nomura. Due to this business combination with NLB, income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by 24.3 billion yen.

 

(2) Changes in Accounting Policies

Not applicable.

Further, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, an insurance company became a subsidiary of Nomura (“insurance subsidiary”). Nomura measures the non-trading securities that are held by the insurance subsidiary at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized through other comprehensive income (loss) after tax effects are adjusted.
