1. Qualitative Information related to Financial Statements

(Please refer to “Summary Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2011” on page 2-1 for more information.)

(1) Qualitative Information related to Consolidated Results of Operations

Reviewing the economic environment during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, destabilization of the international financial and capital markets with the fiscal problems in Europe and the decline in exports to Europe are gradually impacting the real economy. As a result overall, the recovery in the global economy is weakening.

In the United States, the economic recovery is weak as consumer spending is slowing and the housing market is sluggish. Regarding the future of the U.S. economy, the risk remains of a slackening in the economy with a further decline in housing prices and rising unemployment and others. As for measures to boost the economy, there is uncertainty going forward with the fiscal constraints imposed by the debt ceiling. In Europe, the problem of sovereign risk is increasing against the backdrop of the fiscal problems experienced by certain major countries, impacting the real economy, as well as casting uncertainty over the financial system. The future of the European economy holds little prospect of a drastic speedy fix for the Euro-area’s debt problems, and the situation makes it difficult to say exactly what the effects will be on the global economy. In Asia, the increase in demand in the Chinese market has had an impact, inducing an increase in exports and production activity in neighboring economies. Although the region continues to maintain strong economic growth, its economy is slowing as a whole from the impact of the economic stagnation in Europe.

In Japan, despite the continuing recovery from the impact of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, the downturn in the overseas economy, appreciation of the yen, and the impact of the floods in Thailand are slowing the pace of recovery. As for the future direction of the economy, while there are boosting factors such as the growing demand for restoring damaged capital assets, there are also several causes for concern, such as the impact of the Euro-area’s debt problems, the constraints of electricity shortages, fluctuations in foreign exchange and stock prices, and prolonged deflation, posing downside risks to the economy.

Under the foregoing business environment, we recorded Net Income of ¥270.9 billion for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

(2) Qualitative Information related to Consolidated Financial Conditions

Consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2011 amounted to ¥161,386.4 billion, increasing by ¥574.4 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Net Assets amounted to ¥6,478.3 billion, decreasing by ¥145.6 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. Shareholders’ Equity amounted to ¥4,548.4 billion, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income amounted to ¥(36.4) billion, and Minority Interests amounted to ¥1,964.1 billion.

In Assets, the balance of Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥65,194.1 billion, increasing by ¥2,416.4 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year and Securities were ¥45,571.9 billion, increasing by ¥789.9 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. In Liabilities, Deposits amounted to ¥76,738.4 billion, decreasing by ¥2,495.5 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

(3) Qualitative Information related to Consolidated Earnings Estimates

Based on the financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, MHFG has not changed its consolidated earnings estimates for fiscal 2011, which were announced on November 14, 2011, and estimates Net Income of ¥460.0 billion for fiscal 2011.

The above estimates constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Please see the “forward-looking statements” legend for a description of the factors that could affect our ability to meet these estimates.

Summary Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2011

(Nine months ended December 31, 2011)

I. Summary of Income Analysis

 

Ø  

Consolidated Net Business Profits

 

   

Consolidated Gross Profits for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 decreased by JPY 87.4 billion on a year-on-year basis to JPY 1,473.6 billion.

 

   

Gross Profits of the 3 Banks decreased by JPY 55.7 billion on a year-on-year basis. This was mainly due to a decrease of JPY 45.0 billion in income from Trading and Others. Income from Customer Groups, including domestic business, decreased by JPY 10.7 billion in total, despite an increase in income from overseas business, particularly from Asia.

G&A Expenses of the 3 Banks increased by JPY 3.3 billion on a year-on-year basis mainly due to an increase in expenses associated with employee retirement benefits, offset in part by our continued overall cost reduction efforts.

 

   

Aggregated Consolidated Gross Profits (Net Operating Revenues) of our two securities subsidiaries (Mizuho Securities and Mizuho Investors Securities) decreased by JPY 50.6 billion on a year-on-year basis.

 

   

As a result, Consolidated Net Business Profits amounted to JPY 518.7 billion, a year-on-year decrease of JPY 92.0 billion.

 

Ø  

Consolidated Net Income

 

   

Credit-related Costs of the 3 Banks amounted to a net reversal of JPY 3.3 billion, primarily due to improved obligor classifications through our business revitalization support to corporate customers and other factors. Consolidated Credit-related Costs also amounted to a net reversal of JPY 10.3 billion, an improvement of JPY 10.2 billion on a year-on-year basis.

 

   

Net Losses related to Stocks of the 3 Banks amounted to JPY 115.5 billion. This was mainly due to recording impairment losses for certain stocks reflecting a decline in stock prices.

 

   

Meanwhile, the impact of the tax rate amendment following the corporate tax reform amounted to JPY -24.4 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 on a 3 banks basis.

 

   

As a result, Consolidated Net Income for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 amounted to JPY 270.9 billion.

Ø  

Net Interest Income

 

   

The average loan balance for the three-month period from October to December 2011 increased by JPY 1.6 trillion from that for the first half of fiscal 2011. Meanwhile, the period end loan balance as of December 31, 2011 increased by JPY 3.6 trillion compared with that as of September 30, 2011.

 

   

This was primarily due to an increase in overseas loans particularly to Asia, loans to large corporate customers and to the Japanese Government.

 

   

The domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin for the three-month period from October to December 2011 was 1.30%, a decrease of 0.01% from that for the three-month period from July to September 2011.

LOGO

 

Ø  

Non-interest Income

 

   

Non-interest Income from Customer Groups of the 3 Banks (on a managerial accounting basis) for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased by JPY 3.5 billion on a year-on-year basis.

 

   

This was mainly due to a year-on-year increase in income associated with investment trusts and individual annuities from individual customers, solution-related income from corporate customers and non-interest income from overseas business.

II. Financial Soundness

 

   

NPL Ratio was 1.63%, an improvement of 0.07% from that as of September 30, 2011.

 

   

The balance of Consolidated Net Deferred Tax Assets decreased by JPY 34.1 billion from that as of September 30, 2011.

 

   

Unrealized Losses on Other Securities on a consolidated basis amounted to JPY 158.8 billion, mainly due to the impact of a decline in stock prices.

 

   

We will announce our Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio as of December 31, 2011 at a later date.

III. Disciplined Capital Management

 

   

We continue to pursue “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders” as our “disciplined capital management” policy. However, considering the ongoing revision of global capital regulations, uncertainty over the economy and market trends, and other factors, we are placing a higher priority on “strengthening of stable capital base.”

 

   

We aim to increase, as our medium-term target, our Consolidated Tier 1 Capital Ratio (under Basel II) to 12% or above and our Common Equity Capital Ratio* (under Basel III) as of the end of fiscal 2012, when the new capital regulations are scheduled to be implemented, to the mid-8% level.

 

   

We will strive to strengthen further our financial base mainly by accumulating retained earnings and improving asset efficiency through our initiatives such as the steady implementation of Mizuho’s Transformation Program that we announced in May 2010, and the realization in advance of the synergy effects of the integrated group-wide business operations including the transformation into ‘one bank’. Accordingly, we believe we will be able sufficiently to meet the new capital regulations including the framework to identify G-SIFIs.

 

  * The calculation of our Common Equity Capital Ratio includes the outstanding balance of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock that will be mandatorily convertible into common stock in July 2016.

Our Common Equity Capital Ratio is the estimated figure that Mizuho Financial Group calculates based on the publicly-available materials that have been issued to date.

(Note) The outstanding balance of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2011 (excluding treasury stock) amounted to JPY 380.6 billion (59.6% of the initial amount issued of JPY 943.7 billion had already been converted into common stock as of such date).

 

 

The above statements constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Please see the “forward-looking statements” legend towards the beginning of this immediate release for a description of the factors that could affect our ability to meet these targets.
