Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed financials companies, in English.
Some used trucks bought by FinTech Global's investor funds were never re-registered in the funds' name, a special probe into operator AI Storm found, and the Tokyo firm still cannot say what it will cost.
Partners Life, the Auckland insurer Daiichi Life fully owns, has agreed to pay NZ$630mn for Fidelity Life, taking the business from Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, Ngāi Tahu Investments and other holders, with completion targeted for March to July 2027 subject to regulatory approval.
A dismissed director's court petition was enough to get unbanked's bank accounts frozen for nine business days; the Tokyo District Court's August 31 dismissal of her claim let the freeze lift and gold bullion trading resume on September 2.
abc's August 28 transfer of its entire crypto-asset book to ZoomART Foundation completes a two-month exit and produces a ¥6.40bn consolidated loss, only partly offset by a ¥229mn gain tucked inside subsidiary abc CAPITAL's donated meme coins.
Tokyo Century has signed a final deal to sell 50% of Aviation Capital Group, its wholly owned US aircraft lessor, to related-party shareholder Itochu, and the resulting one-off gain, guided at roughly ¥50bn consolidated, stays unconfirmed until competition regulators clear the November closing.
FinTech Global says AI Storm, an operator in its used-vehicle fund series, failed to re-register truck titles in the funds' name as required, and the wholesaler's own earnings-impact estimate is still pending.
Advance Create's amended half-year report discloses four straight loss-making years, a breached financing covenant and new material doubt about the Osaka insurance agency's ability to continue as a going concern.
Gunma Bank's board set September 30 as the record date for a December 23 shareholder vote on its share-exchange integration with Daishi Hokuetsu Financial Group, with venue and full resolution details still pending.
Tokio Marine will multiply its share count fifteenfold on October 1 to shrink the ticket price for retail buyers, but its new shareholder perk pays out only after three years of continuous holding, and while the ¥200bn buyback budget is unchanged, the split-adjusted dividend forecast is only substantively, not exactly, the same as before.
A third-party investigation into ad-transaction and software accounting forces the Osaka insurer-comparison firm to restate prior results and set aside a loss it still hasn't finished counting.
The Chiba prefecture lender is borrowing $300mn from international investors for five years at a fixed 4.863%, a Reg S deal rated A1 by Moody's Japan and listed in Singapore rather than sold to US buyers.
Net Protections told investors that price cuts in its consumer buy-now-pay-later business mean underlying gross profit growth is close to flat once a prior-year one-off is removed, and that its credit-card alliance won't add meaningful volume until the second half of this fiscal year at the earliest, with most of the impact landing next year.
Advance Create's corrected first-quarter filing shows liabilities now exceed assets by ¥6.1bn, and a breach of covenants tied to receivables-securitization contracts has pushed the company and its auditor to flag material doubt about its ability to keep operating.
Advance Create's floor consolidation in Tokyo generated ¥70mn in compensation income and a ¥41.5mn accounting reversal, but a ¥99.8mn impairment charge alone outweighs that income, adding to losses at a company already ¥6.1bn underwater on its balance sheet.
An amended EDINET filing fixes indicative pricing on a ten-year subordinated bond whose holders would lose their entire principal, not just deferred interest, if regulators ever declared Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group failing.
Bank of Okinawa pushed its loan yield to 1.81% and rode strong local credit demand, lifting parent Okinawa Financial Group's quarterly net profit 41% to ¥3.61bn, even as deposit funding costs nearly doubled.
Osaka insurance broker Advance Create has restated results for five straight fiscal years after a third-party panel found improper accounting in advertising bookings and software capitalization, a correction that pushed net worth to negative ¥6.56bn at one point before a preferred-share issue tied to SBI Holdings restored positive equity by September 2025.
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group used up all of the ¥180bn cash budget its board approved for share buybacks by July 31, but bought back only 70% of the accompanying 40mn-share allowance, according to a report filed with Japan's Kanto Local Finance Bureau and disclosed via the EDINET system.
Tokio Marine Holdings spent ¥90.8bn on its own shares in July, filling out the yen cap of a March buyback program while a separate ¥200bn authorization from May has yet to see a single purchase.
AEON Financial Service disclosed that Oasis Management raised its voting stake to 10.81% from 9.80% between May and August 2026, a bigger number with no stated plan attached to it.
Two completed exits, including the sale of M&I and Toyo Engineering, generated realized carried interest that pushed Integral's half-year profit to ¥8.77bn from ¥1.70bn a year earlier, its regulatory filing shows.
Suruga Bank's quarterly net profit rose 158.5% to ¥14.1bn, helped by ¥8.2bn in credit-provision reversals and smaller bond losses, but the regional lender left its full-year profit and dividend guidance untouched.
Smaller bond-sale losses at Sony Life and a stake sale still awaiting regulatory sign-off pushed Sony Financial Group's full-year profit outlook from a projected ¥20bn loss to ¥37bn, though the group's preferred earnings gauge stays fixed at ¥110bn because both swing factors are excluded from it.
Rakuten Bank increased its net profit target for the year to March 2027 by ¥6.8bn to ¥88.1bn, pointing to higher loan interest income and June's Bank of Japan rate rise as the main drivers.
