As of September 30, 2014, Nomura’s total capital ratio2 was 14.7% and its Tier 1 capital ratio2 and Tier 1 common ratio2 were both 12.7%. Nomura had total assets of 43,802.1 billion yen, an increase of 281.8 billion yen compared to March 31, 2014, primarily due to increase in Trading assets. Total liabilities as of September 30, 2014 were 41,186.9 billion yen, an increase of 219.8 billion yen compared to March 31, 2014, primarily due to increases in Securities loaned. Total equity as of September 30, 2014 was 2,615.2 billion yen, an increase of 62.0 billion yen compared to March 31, 2014. Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2014 was 17.1 and net leverage ratio3 was 10.7.
| 1 | Annualized return on shareholders’ equity is a ratio of net income (loss) attributable to NHI shareholders to total NHI shareholders’ equity multiplied by two. |
| 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 September 30, 2014. |
NHI has been assigned as saishu shitei oyagaisha (a “Final Designated Parent Company”) which must calculate the consolidated capital adequacy ratio according to the “Notice of the Establishment of Standards for Determining Whether the Adequacy of Equity Capital of a Final Designated Parent Company and its Subsidiary Corporations, etc. is Appropriate Compared to the Assets Held by the Final Designated Parent Company and its Subsidiary Corporations, etc.” (2010 FSA Regulatory Notice No.130; “Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company” hereinafter) in April 2011. Nomura calculates Basel III-based consolidated regulatory capital adequacy ratios in accordance with the Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company.
| 3 | Net 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. Net leverage ratio equals total assets less securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities borrowed divided by total NHI shareholders’ equity. |
