1. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

(Please refer to Summary of Financial Results for Fiscal 2007 for more information)

(1) Analysis of Results of Operations

Looking back over the global economic climate during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, in addition to the sharp slowdown of the U.S. economy due to slower growth in personal consumption, declines in housing investment or other causes attributable mainly to the subprime loan problem, the European economy also seems to be slowing down and there has been concern about its effect on the world economy, including Asia. Especially during the latter half of the fiscal year, the turmoil caused by the subprime loan problem, such as rapidly rising concerns over liquidity risks on securitized instruments, expanded in the international financial and capital markets. As a result, global financial institutions announced one after another significant losses and their capital reinforcement to cover such losses, and the unstable situation still continues. As for the Japanese economy, while soaring prices of crude oil and raw materials are damping growth of corporate earnings, the turmoil in the financial and capital markets and the rapid rise in the yen’s exchange rate started to have an influence on the actual economy in 2008. As a result, business sentiment is worsening.

Japanese stock prices held firm during the first half of the fiscal year but dropped substantially during the latter half of the period in the wake of an increasingly intensified downturn in the U.S. economy. In spite of a temporary rise in long-term yen interest rates at the beginning of the fiscal year, the rates turned downward during the latter half of the period due to the declining trends in U.S. interest rates, etc., and remained below the levels at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Financial institutions are required to further strengthen the system of internal controls in response to global concerns over the economic slowdown and turmoil in the financial and capital markets, especially at a time when financial deregulation, including the broadening of the scope of services that may be offered, is being promoted. In this changing economic environment, it becomes ever more important for Mizuho Financial Group (the “Group”) to secure a competitive edge over our rivals and further strengthen profitability while further enhancing corporate governance such as risk management.

Reflecting the above economic environment, suffering from the dislocation in the global financial market which stemmed from the US subprime loan problem, Net Income amounted to ¥311.2 billion, decreasing by ¥309.7 billion from the previous fiscal year.

Taking segment information by type of business for MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries categorized under banking business (banking and trust banking business), securities business and other, Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was ¥774.0 billion for banking business, ¥(400.5) billion for securities business and ¥29.7 billion for other. Looking at segment information by geographic area categorized under Japan, the Americas, Europe and Asia/Oceania, Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was ¥681.7 billion for Japan, ¥33.5 billion for the Americas, ¥(353.7) billion for Europe and ¥46.6 billion for Asia/Oceania.

As for earnings estimates for fiscal 2008, we estimate Ordinary Income of ¥4,300.0 billion, Ordinary Profits of ¥770.0 billion and Net Income of ¥560.0 billion on a consolidated basis.

The above estimates are based on information that is available at this moment and assumptions of factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates, depending on future events. Please refer to “forward-looking statements” on page 1-4.

(2) Analysis of Financial Conditions

Consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2008 amounted to ¥154,412.1 billion, increasing by ¥4,532.0 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to increases in Trading Assets of ¥3,441.6 billion and others.

Securities were ¥33,958.5 billion, decreasing by ¥2,091.4 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. The balance of Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥65,608.7 billion, decreasing by ¥355.5 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Deposits amounted to ¥76,175.3 billion, increasing by ¥1,372.2 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of the steady growth in personal deposits.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

Net Cash Provided in Operating Activities was ¥170.7 billion mainly due to increased Deposits. Net Cash Used by Investing Activities was ¥1,118.7 billion mainly due to repurchase of securities, and Net Cash Used in Financing Activities was ¥85.0 billion mainly due to repurchase of treasury stock and Cash Dividends Paid. As a result, Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2008 was ¥2,055.7 billion.

The Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (Basel II BIS Standard) was 11.69%. (Preliminary)

(3) Basic Policy on Profit Distribution, Proposed Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2007 and Forecast Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2008

We will place our management emphasis on ROE from the perspective of effective utilization of our capital and consider returning profits to the shareholders while maintaining and strengthening our capital base.

Based on this policy, in view of our consolidated financial results, the level of Retained Earnings and other factors, we proposed increasing the year-end cash dividend per share of common stock for fiscal 2007 by ¥3,000 from the previous fiscal year to ¥10,000 as estimated before. We also proposed making dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed (i.e, a cash dividend of ¥20,000 per share for the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock and a cash dividend of ¥30,000 per share for the Thirteenth Series Class XIII Preferred Stock).

As for the dividend forecast for fiscal 2008, we estimate a dividend payment of ¥10,000 per share of common stock, considering the aforementioned earnings estimates for fiscal 2008 and other factors*.

We started to repurchase and cancel our own shares (common shares) in fiscal 2007 for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effects, relating to the possibility that the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period (from July 1, 2008) of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock (the “convertible preferred stock issued to the private sector’’, ¥943.7 billion issue amount in aggregate). We will continue to address the potential dilutive effects in relation to the convertible preferred stock issued to the private sector, aiming to complete the process in about two years, by establishing additional repurchase limits and repurchasing and canceling our own shares based on market conditions, our earning trends and other factors.

* As we announced today, if we conduct the allotment of shares or fractions of a share without consideration that will be effective on January 4, 2009, the year-end cash dividend per share of common stock after the allotment of shares or fractions of a share without consideration will be ¥10.

The above dividend estimate is based on information that is currently available to us and on assumptions of factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Please refer to “forward-looking statements” on page 1-4.

3. MANAGEMENT POLICY

(1) Principal Management Policy

Mizuho Financial Group (the “Group”) pursues our goals of being held in high regard by our shareholders and the financial markets and earning widespread trust from the community as Japan’s leading comprehensive financial services group on the basis of the three fundamental management philosophies below.

 

  a) To provide the highest level of comprehensive financial services to our customers and clients.

 

  b) To provide an attractive, inspiring workplace for our employees where they can each demonstrate their rich individuality and ability to meet their respective challenges.

 

  c) To enable each group company to demonstrate to the utmost its own particular characteristics and strengths in its respective business field and function.

(2) Management’s Medium/Long-term Targets and Issues to be Resolved

The three global groups organized on the basis of customer needs within the Group will steadily implement the business strategies while maximizing their respective characteristics. The Group companies will work to strengthen profitability by providing the best financial services to their customers through utilization of their respective strengths and promotion of mutual collaboration within the Group. We will also strive to win the further confidence of domestic and overseas customers by establishing a solid compliance structure and advanced risk management system.

[Business Strategy] (Please refer to “Management Structure of Mizuho” on page 1-11)

(The Global Corporate Group)

Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (“MHCB”) will promote its “investment banking strategy” and “global strategy,” with a selective and agile allocation of management resources through careful assessment of the uncertain market conditions. In addition, establishing its global business platform, including risk management, MHCB will aim to become Japan’s top global investment bank by working in collaboration with Mizuho Securities Co. Ltd. (“MHSC”). Specifically, based on the Financial Holding Company (“FHC”) status under the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act which it acquired in December 2006, MHCB will develop its comprehensive investment banking business by combining its banking and securities capabilities in the United States, the world’s largest financial market. With the establishment of Mizuho Corporate Bank (China), which began operations in June 2007, we will further develop business bases in China and expand the network strategically and responsively in the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. We have been establishing cooperative business relationships with major financial institutions in countries such as China and India through alliances and investments in these financial institutions. We will continuously promote strategic business cooperation with overseas financial institutions in order to complement our branch networks and to support our customers with more fine-tuned services as they expand their businesses globally.

MHSC has already reviewed its internal control systems, including risk management, and worked on strengthening such systems. Moreover, MHSC will strive to reform drastically its business operations by promptly implementing the “Business Restructuring Program” announced in April 2008. In particular, MHSC will aim to restore and strengthen profitability by selectively allocating management resources. In addition, MHSC will steadily promote its plan to strengthen its risk management and overseas office management system for market related business operations. Further, in order to ensure efficient and agile organizational operation, MHSC will promptly streamline its organizational structure by cutting the number of departments in half, while implementing a reduction in workforce of around 300 employees, including voluntary resignations, a 20% reduction in various costs compared with fiscal year 2007 and a reduction of board members’ compensation. Following these actions, MHSC will proceed with thorough preparations necessary to conclude smoothly its merger with Shinko Securities Co., Ltd. in May 2009 (scheduled).

I. Standards of Accounting Method

 

1. Valuation of Trading Assets & Liabilities and Recording of Income & Expenses

 

     Trading transactions intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations and arbitrage opportunities in interest rates, currency exchange rates, market prices of securities and related indices are recognized on a trade date basis and recorded in Trading Assets or Trading Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Income or expenses generated on the relevant trading transactions are recorded in Trading Income or Trading Expenses on the consolidated statement of income.

 

     Securities and other monetary claims held for trading purposes are stated at fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date. Derivative financial products, such as swaps, futures and option transactions, are stated at fair values, assuming that such transactions are terminated and settled at the consolidated balance sheet date.

 

     Trading Income and Trading Expenses include the interest received and the interest paid during the fiscal year, the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of securities and other monetary claims between the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, and the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of financial derivatives between the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, assuming they were settled at the end of the fiscal year.

 

2. Securities

 

     (i) Bonds held to maturity are stated at amortized cost (straight-line method) and determined by the moving average method. Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, which are not under the equity method, are stated at acquisition cost and determined by the moving average method. Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value. Fair value of Japanese stocks with a quoted market price is determined based on the average quoted market price over the month preceding the consolidated balance sheet date. Fair value of securities other than Japanese stocks is determined at the quoted market price if available, or other reasonable value at the consolidated balance sheet date (cost of securities sold is calculated primarily by the moving average method). Other Securities which do not have readily determinable fair value are stated at acquisition cost or amortized cost and determined by the moving average method.

 

     The net unrealized gains on Other Securities are included directly in Net Assets, net of applicable income taxes after excluding gains and losses as a result of the fair-value hedge method.

(Additional Information)

 

     Net Unrealized Gains/ Losses on Other Securities, net of Taxes have been receiving greater focus because of the considerable change in the market circumstances these days, and the values of securities deemed as market prices such as those obtained from brokers and financial information vendors have been more available. Hence, taking into account the convergence of global accounting standards, if the values deemed as market prices could be obtained by the reasonable estimate, Other Securities formerly measured at acquisition cost as securities without fair values are measured at such values. This valuation decreases Securities by ¥49,948 million, Net unrealized Gains/Losses on Other Securities, net of Taxes by ¥36,246 million, respectively, and increases Other Debt Purchased by ¥152 million and Deferred Tax Assets by ¥13,549 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. Among Other Securities valued at acquisition cost, Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans are provided for the bonds which are issued by private placement (Article 2 Paragraph 3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law) .

 

     (ii) Securities which are held as trust assets in Money Held in Trust accounts are valued in the same way as given in (i) above.

 

3. Derivative Transactions

 

     Derivative transactions (other than transactions for trading purposes) are valued at fair value.

4. Depreciation

 

  (1) Tangible Fixed Assets

Depreciation of buildings is computed mainly by the straight-line method, and that of equipment is computed mainly by the declining-balance method, and the applicable share of estimated annual depreciation costs for the period is recorded based on the following range of useful lives.

Buildings:          3 years to 50 years

Equipment:        2 years to 20 years

(Changes in Basis for Presentation and Principles of Preparation of Financial Statements)

In accordance with the revision of the Corporate Tax Law of 2007, depreciation of the tangible fixed assets acquired on or after April 1, 2007 is computed by the procedure stipulated in the revised law. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests decreased by ¥2,211 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

(Additional Information)

As for the tangible fixed assets acquired before April 1, 2007 and depreciated to their final depreciable limit, the salvage values of them are depreciated using the straight-line method in the following five fiscal years. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests both decreased by ¥1,687 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

 

  (2) Intangible Fixed Assets

Amortization of Intangible Fixed Assets is computed by the straight-line method. Development costs for internally-used software are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives of mainly five years as determined by MHFG and consolidated subsidiaries.

 

5. Deferred Assets

 

  (1) Bond issuance costs

Bond issuance costs are expensed at issuance of each bond.

 

  (2) Debenture issuance costs

Debenture issuance costs are expensed as incurred. Debenture issuance costs booked on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method within a certain period by applying the previous accounting method based on the tentative measure stipulated in “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Report No. 19, August 11, 2006).

 

  (3) Bond discounts

Bonds are stated at amortized costs computed by the straight-line method on the consolidated balance sheet.

Bond discounts booked on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the bond by applying the previous accounting method and the unamortized balance is directly deducted from bonds, based on the tentative measure stipulated in the “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (ASBJ Report No. 19, August 11, 2006).

 

6. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans

Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans of major domestic consolidated subsidiaries are maintained in accordance with internally established standards for write-offs and reserve provisions.

For claims extended to obligors that are legally bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Law, Special Liquidation under the Company Law or other similar laws (“Bankrupt Obligors”), and to obligors that are effectively in similar conditions (“Substantially Bankrupt Obligors”), reserves are maintained at the amounts of claims net of direct write-offs described below and expected amounts recoverable from the disposition of collateral and the amounts recoverable under guarantees. For claims extended to obligors that are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but are likely to be bankrupt (“Intensive Control Obligors”), reserves are maintained at the amounts deemed necessary based on overall solvency analyses of the amounts of claims net of expected amounts recoverable from the disposition of collateral and the amounts recoverable under guarantees.

 

1-19


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

For claims extended to Intensive Control Obligors and Obligors with Restructured Loans and others, if the exposure to an obligor exceeds a certain specific amount, reserves are provided as follows: (i) if future cash flows of the principal and interest can be reasonably estimated, the discounted cash flow method is applied, under which the reserve is determined as the difference between the book value of the loan and its present value of future cash flows discounted using the contractual interest rate before the loan was classified as a Restructured Loan, and (ii) if future cash flows of the principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, reserves are provided for the losses estimated for each individual loan. For claims extended to other obligors, reserves are maintained at rates derived from historical credit loss experience and other factors. Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans to Restructuring Countries is maintained in order to cover possible losses based on analyses of the political and economic climates of the countries.

All claims are assessed by each claim origination department in accordance with the internally established “Self-assessment Standard,” and the results of the assessments are verified and examined by the independent examination departments. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans are provided for on the basis of such verified assessments.

In the case of claims to Bankrupt Obligors and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, which are collateralized or guaranteed by a third party, the amounts deemed uncollectible (calculated by deducting the anticipated proceeds from the sale of collateral pledged against the claims and amounts that are expected to be recovered from guarantors of the claims) are written off against the respective claims balances. The total directly written-off amount was ¥515,809 million.

The claims above include corporate bonds which are issued by private placement (Article 2, Paragraph 3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law) and others.

Other consolidated subsidiaries provide the amount necessary to cover the loan losses based upon past experience and other factors for general claims and the assessment for each individual loan for other claims.

 

7. Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments

Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments is maintained to provide against possible losses on investments in securities, after taking into consideration the financial condition and other factors concerning the investee company. Except for securitization products which are included as reference assets of another securitization schemes of the Group’s domestic banking subsidiary, Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments is provided against unrealized losses on securitization products related with the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe which was made as an alternative to loans by the Group’s domestic banking subsidiary. Since securities are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, the balance of Securities is offset against that of Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments by ¥45,939 million.

 

8. Reserve for Bonus Payments

Reserve for Bonus Payments, which is provided for future bonus payments to employees, is maintained at the amount accrued at the end of the fiscal year, based on the estimated future payments.

 

9. Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits

Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits (including Prepaid Pension Cost), which is provided for future benefit payments to employees, is recorded as the required amount, based on the projected benefit obligation and the estimated plan asset amounts at the end of the fiscal year. Unrecognized actuarial differences are recognized as income or expenses from the following fiscal year under the straight-line method over a certain term within the average remaining service period of the employees of the respective fiscal year.

10. Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits

Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits, which is provided for future retirement pension payments to directors, corporate auditors, and executive officers, is recognized at the amount accrued at the end of the respective fiscal year, based on the internally established standards.

 

11. Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans

(Additional Information)

Reflecting the considerable changes in the market circumstances these days, Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans is provided for possible future losses on sales of loans at the amount deemed necessary based on a reasonable estimate of possible future losses.

 

12. Reserve for Contingencies

Reserve for Contingencies is maintained to provide against possible losses from contingencies, which are not covered by other specific reserves in off-balance transactions, trust transactions and others. The balance is an estimate of possible future losses, on an individual basis, considered to require a reserve.

 

13. Reserve for Frequent Users Services

Reserve for Frequent Users Services is provided mainly to meet the future use of points of Mizuho Mileage Club at the amount deemed necessary based on the reasonable estimate of the future usage of points.

(Changes in Presentation of Financial Statements)

While the Reserve was formerly included within Other Liabilities because of its limited materiality, it has been stated independently from this fiscal year due to its increased materiality with the increase in the number of members.

Reserve for Frequent Users Services formerly included within Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 was ¥ 3,773 million.

 

14. Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits

Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits is provided for the deposits derecognized from the liabilities at the estimated amount of future claims for withdrawal.

(Changes in Basis for Presentation and Principles of Preparation of Financial Statements)

In accordance with “Auditing Treatment relating to Reserve defined under the Special Tax Measurement Law, Reserves defined under the Special Law and Reserve for Directors and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits” (The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“JICPA”) Auditing and Assurance Practice Committee report No. 42, April 13, 2007) effective from the fiscal year 2007, MHFG has adopted the report from this fiscal year. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests both decreased by ¥9,614 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

 

15. Reserve under Special Laws

Reserve under Special Laws is Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange of ¥2,680 million. This is the reserve pursuant to Article 46-5, Paragraph 1 and Article 48-3, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law to indemnify the losses incurred from accidents in the purchase and sale of securities, other transactions or derivative transactions.

Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Futures Transactions and Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Securities Transactions, which were recognized under Article 81 of the Financial Futures Transaction Law and under Article 51 of the Securities and Exchange Law respectively, are stated as Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange from this fiscal year because of the enforcement of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law on September 30, 2007.

 

1-21


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

(Changes in Presentation of Financial Statements)

With the revision of the appendix forms of “Banking Law Enforcement Regulations” (Ministry of Finance Ordinance No. 10, 1982) by the “Cabinet Office Ordinance to Amend Part of Banking Law Enforcement Regulations” (Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 60, August 8, 2007) and the enforcement of the revision on September 30, 2007, Reversal of Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Futures Transactions, formerly recorded in Extraordinary Gains, and Provision for Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Securities Transactions, formerly recorded in Extraordinary Losses, are recorded in Extraordinary Losses as Provision for Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange from this consolidated fiscal year.

 

16. Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and accounts of overseas branches of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and a domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiary are translated into Japanese yen primarily at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, with the exception of the investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not under the equity method, which are translated at historical exchange rates.

Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies of the consolidated subsidiaries, except for the transactions mentioned above, are translated into Japanese yen primarily at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

17. Lease Transactions

Finance leases of MHFG and domestic consolidated subsidiaries that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee are accounted for as operating leases.

 

18. Hedge Accounting

 

  (1) Interest Rate Risk

The deferred method, the fair-value hedge method or the exceptional accrual method for interest rate swaps are applied as hedge accounting methods.

The portfolio hedge for a large volume of small-value monetary claims and liabilities of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries is accounted for by the method stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 24).

The effectiveness of hedging activities for the portfolio hedge for a large volume of small-value monetary claims and liabilities is assessed as follows:

 

  (i) as for hedging activities to offset market fluctuation risks, the effectiveness is assessed by bracketing both the hedged instruments, such as deposits and loans, and the hedging instruments, such as interest-rate swaps, in the same maturity bucket.

 

  (ii) as for hedging activities to fix the cash flows, the effectiveness is assessed based on the correlation between a base interest rate index of the hedged cash flow and that of the hedging instrument.

The effectiveness of the individual hedge is assessed based on the correlation between the fluctuation in the market or cash flows of the hedged instruments and that of the hedging instruments.

Net Deferred Hedge Losses, net of Taxes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet resulted from the application of the macro-hedge method based on the “Tentative Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.15), under which the overall interest rate risks inherent in loans, deposits and others are controlled on a macro-basis using derivatives transactions. These deferred hedge gains/losses are amortized as interest income or interest expenses over the remaining maturity and average remaining maturity of the respective hedging instruments. The unamortized amounts of gross deferred hedge losses and gross deferred hedge gains on the macro-hedges, before net of applicable income taxes, at the end of the fiscal year were ¥154,316 million and ¥143,643 million, respectively.

 

1-22


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

  (2) Foreign Exchange Risk

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and a domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiary apply the deferred method of hedge accounting to hedge foreign exchange risks associated with various financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Foreign Currency Transactions for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25). The effectiveness of the hedge is assessed by confirming both the amount for the foreign currency position of the hedging instruments of currency-swap transactions, exchange swap transactions and similar transactions as the method of hedging the foreign exchange risks of monetary claims and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the amount for the foreign currency position of the hedged monetary claims and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are equivalent.

In addition to the above methods, these subsidiaries apply the deferred method or the fair-value hedge method to portfolio hedges of the foreign exchange risks associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates in foreign currency and Other Securities in foreign currency (except for bonds) identified as hedged items in advance, as long as the amount of foreign currency payables of spot and forward foreign exchange contracts exceeds the amount of acquisition cost of the hedged foreign securities in foreign currency.

 

  (3) Inter-company Transactions

Inter-company interest rate swaps, currency swaps and similar derivatives among consolidated companies or between trading accounts and other accounts, which are designated as hedges, are not eliminated and related gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income or deferred under hedge accounting, because these inter-company derivatives are executed according to the criteria for appropriate outside third-party cover operations which are treated as hedge transactions objectively in accordance with JICPA Industry Audit Committee Reports Nos. 24 and 25.

 

19. Consumption Taxes and other

With respect to MHFG and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, Japanese consumption taxes and local consumption taxes are excluded from transaction amounts.

II. Scope of Cash and Cash Equivalents on Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, Cash and Cash Equivalents consists of cash and due from central banks included in Cash and Due from Banks on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

III. Changes in the Basis for Presentation of Consolidation

 

  1. Practical Solutions on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements

Given that the “Practical Solutions on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Report No. 18, May 17, 2006) can be adopted from the fiscal year beginning on or before March 31, 2008, MHFG has adopted the new standards commencing with this fiscal year. The effect of this adoption on the consolidated statement of income is immaterial.

 

  2. Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments

The definitions of securities in “Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Statement No. 10) and in “Practical Guidelines on Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” (JICPA Laws and Regulations Committee Report No. 14) were partially revised on June 15, 2007 and on July 4, 2007 respectively, which is applicable from the fiscal year ending on or after the enforcement date of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. MHFG has adopted the revised standards and guidelines commencing with this fiscal year.

 

  3. Practical Guidelines for Tax Effects on Consolidated Financial Statements

As for the tax effects of sales of investments (such as subsidiaries’ stocks) within the Group, MHFG has adopted Paragraph 30-2 of “Practical Guidelines for Tax Effects on Consolidated Financial Statements” (JICPA Laws and Regulations Committee Report No. 6, March 29, 2007) from this fiscal year. The effect of this application on the consolidated balance sheet is immaterial.

5. Balance of Restructured Loans: ¥695,144 million

 

     Restructured Loans represent loans of which contracts were amended in favor of obligors (e.g. reduction of, or exemption from, stated interest, deferral of interest payments, extension of maturity dates and renunciation of claims) in order to assist or facilitate the restructuring of the obligors. Loans to Bankrupt Obligors, Non-Accrual Delinquent Loans and Loans Past Due for Three Months or More are not included.

 

6. Total balance of Loans to Bankrupt Obligors, Non-Accrual Delinquent Loans, Loans Past Due for Three Months or More and Restructured Loans: ¥1,165,736 million

 

     The amounts given in Notes 3 through 6 are gross amounts before deduction of amounts for the Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

   The following liabilities were collateralized by the above assets:

 

Deposits:

   ¥921,280 million

Call Money and Bills Sold:

   ¥2,230,560 million

Payables under Repurchase Agreements:

   ¥5,877,444 million

9. Overdraft protection on current accounts and contracts of the commitment line for loans are contracts by which banking subsidiaries are bound to extend loans up to the prearranged amount, at the request of customers, unless the customer is in breach of contract conditions. The unutilized balance of these contracts amounted to ¥55,431,471 million. Of this amount, ¥46,637,717 million relates to contracts of which the original contractual maturity is one year or less, or which are unconditionally cancelable at any time.

 

   Since many of these contracts expire without being exercised, the unutilized balance itself does not necessarily affect future cash flows. A provision is included in many of these contracts that entitles the banking subsidiaries to refuse the execution of loans, or reduce the maximum amount under contracts when there is a change in the financial situation, necessity to preserve a claim or other similar reasons. The banking subsidiaries require collateral such as real estate and securities when deemed necessary at the time the contract is entered into. In addition, they periodically monitor customers’ business conditions in accordance with internally established standards and take necessary measures to manage credit risks such as amendments to contracts.

 

10. In accordance with the Land Revaluation Law (Proclamation No.34 dated March 31, 1998), land used for business operations of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries was revalued. The applicable income taxes on the entire excess of revaluation are included in Deferred Tax Liabilities for Revaluation Reserve for Land under Liabilities, and the remainder, net of applicable income taxes, is stated as Revaluation Reserve for Land, net of Taxes included in Net Assets.

 

    Revaluation date: March 31, 1998

  *2. Fair value of Japanese stocks is determined based on the average quoted market price over the month preceding the consolidated balance sheet date. Fair value of securities other than Japanese stocks is determined at the quoted market price if available, or other reasonable value at the consolidated balance sheet date.
  *3. Unrealized Gains/Losses are the details of Net.
  *4. Certain Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are devalued to the fair value, and the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value is treated as the loss for the fiscal year (“devaluation”), if the fair value (primarily the closing market price at the consolidated balance sheet date) has significantly deteriorated compared with the acquisition cost (including amortized cost), and unless it is deemed that there is a possibility of a recovery in the fair value. The amount of devaluation for the fiscal year was ¥79,482 million.

 

     The criteria for determining whether a security’s fair value has “significantly deteriorated” are outlined as follows:

 

     Securities whose fair value is 50% or less of the acquisition cost

 

     Securities whose fair value exceeds 50% but is 70% or less of the acquisition cost and the quoted market price maintains a certain level or lower.

As a result, Ordinary Expenses increased by ¥5,144 million, ¥506 million and ¥137 million for Banking Business, Securities Business and Other, respectively, and Ordinary Profits decreased by the same amounts for the respective business, compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

For Fiscal 2007

 

<under Japanese GAAP>

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.


Summary Results for Fiscal 2007

 

I. Summary of Income Analysis

 

·  

Consolidated Net Business Profits

 

   

Consolidated Net Business Profits significantly decreased compared with the previous fiscal year to JPY 511.1 billion. This was mainly because Mizuho Securities recorded losses (a decrease of JPY 479.9 billion in Consolidated Ordinary Profits compared with the previous fiscal year), as it suffered from the dislocation in the global financial market stemming from the US subprime loan issues.

 

   

Meanwhile, Net Business Profits of 3 Banks (JPY 861.7 billion) increased by JPY 17.1 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, which was higher than the original estimates in May 2007. This was because market-related income was strong, while income from Customer Groups decreased due to intensified competition among banks and other factors.

 

·  

Consolidated Net Income

 

   

Consolidated Net Income decreased to JPY 311.2 billion by JPY 309.7 billion compared with the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to the impact of the global financial market dislocation stemming from the US subprime loan issues, which was partially offset by a rebound in Net Gains related to Stocks.

 

   

The total aforementioned impact of the market dislocation on our consolidated P&L in fiscal 2007 was a loss of approximately JPY 645.0 billion (including a loss of approximately JPY 300.0 billion for the fourth quarter [January to March 2008]).

[Breakdown of the P&L impact of JPY 645.0 billion (including overseas subsidiaries)]

3 Banks

 

  Losses on sales of securitization products, etc.:approx. JPY -93.0 Bn

 

  Credit-related Costs associated with SIVs: approx. JPY -21.0 Bn

 

  Losses associated with ABCP programs: approx. JPY -95.0 Bn

 

  Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans: approx. JPY -51.0 Bn

 

  Profits from hedging by CDS: approx. JPY 29.0 Bn

Mizuho Securities

 

  Trading losses on securitization products: approx. JPY -413.0 Bn
  (of which foreign currency denominated: approx. JPY -404.0 Bn)

[including losses associated with US financial guarantors (monolines): approx. JPY -64.0 Bn]

 

   

Credit-related Costs increased compared with the previous fiscal year as Mizuho Bank, in addition to losses on sales of loans and other factors, conducted a review of obligors, especially those with lower credit ratings, amid uncertainty over the future of the economy.

(Reference) Credit Cost Ratio * (excluding the impact of the global financial market dislocation): approx. 9.5 bps (3 Banks)

 

  * Credit Cost Ratio = Credit-related Costs / Total claims under the Financial Reconstruction Law as of March 31, 2008

 

   

Considering the aforementioned consolidated financial results, the level of retained earnings and other factors, we plan to increase cash dividends per share of common stock to be paid this June to JPY 10,000 (a JPY 3,000 increase from the previous fiscal year), unchanged from the level previously estimated.

II. Enhancement of the Group’s Comprehensive Profitability

 

·  

Net Interest Income

 

   

The average loan balance for the second half of fiscal 2007, in the graph below, appears to have decreased compared with the first half of fiscal 2007. But it actually continued to increase after excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes, mainly driven by an expansion of overseas lending.

 

   

In addition, the domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin for the second half steadily improved by 0.03% compared with the first half of fiscal 2007. (3Q of FY2007®4Q of FY2007: +0.01%)

 

   

Although Consolidated Net Interest Income for fiscal 2007 decreased compared with the previous fiscal year, Net Interest Income of the 3 Banks increased, backed by the improvement in the domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin and other factors.

 

LOGO

 

·  

Non-Interest Income

 

   

Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks for fiscal 2007 decreased to JPY 351.7 billion by JPY 49.1 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

 

   

As for our business with individual customers, while the balance of individual annuities continued to increase, fee income related to the sales of investment trusts and individual annuities for fiscal 2007 decreased compared with the previous fiscal year, due to the effects of the global financial market dislocation in the second half and other factors.

As for our business with corporate customers, fee and commission income from solution-related business, foreign exchange business and others decreased against the backdrop of intensified competition among banks and other factors.

III. Financial Soundness

 

·  

Although our Unrealized Gains on Other Securities decreased and Net Deferred Tax Assets increased due to stagnant stock market conditions, we maintained our financial soundness at a high level as indicated by our Capital Adequacy Ratio and others.

IV. Disciplined Capital Management

 

·  

Issuance of “Non-Dilutive” Preferred Securities

 

   

In January 2008, we issued JPY 274.5 billion of preferred debt securities through an overseas special purpose subsidiary so as to increase the group’s Tier 1 capital to secure the agility and to improve the flexibility of our future capital strategy.

In the meantime, we plan to redeem in full preferred debt securities (JPY 118.5 billion and USD 2.6 billion) which will be redeemable at the issuer’s option in June 2008.

 

·  

Repurchase and Cancellation of Own Shares (Common Shares)

[For the Purpose of Offsetting Potential Dilutive Effect of Convertible Preferred Stock]

 

   

On May 15, 2008, the Board of Directors resolved to set up a limit for repurchasing own shares (common shares) up to a maximum of JPY 150.0 billion. As with the repurchase of our common shares that we conducted last year (the repurchased and cancelled amount: JPY 149.9 billion), this repurchase will be made for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock (JPY 943.7 billion in aggregate issue amount) in consideration of the possibility that the number of shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period from July 1, 2008.

We will continue to address the potential dilutive effects described above, aiming to complete the process in about two years, by establishing additional repurchase limits and repurchasing and canceling our own shares based on market conditions, our earning trends and other factors (Expected total amount of repurchases for this fiscal year is approximately JPY 400 billion).

Earnings Estimates for Fiscal 2008

(Figures below are on a consolidated basis)

 

 

We estimate Consolidated Net Business Profits for fiscal 2008 to be JPY 900.0 billion, an increase of JPY 388.8 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

This is because, while we estimate a decrease in market-related income, we plan to further enhance the profitability of our banking subsidiaries centering on Customer Groups mainly through strengthening group synergies and we assume the performance of Mizuho Securities will recover from the significant losses in fiscal 2007 due to the impact of the global financial market dislocation stemming from the US subprime loan issues.

 

 

We estimate Credit-related Costs and Net Gains related to Stocks to be JPY -120.0 billion and JPY 80.0 billion respectively.

 

 

Based on the above, we estimate Consolidated Net Income to be JPY 560.0 billion, an increase of JPY 248.7 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

 

 

We plan to make cash dividend payments of JPY 10,000 per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 (the same amount as the previous fiscal year, and JPY 10 per share of common stock after allotment of shares or fractions of a share without consideration in January 2009). We plan to make dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed.

*1 Except for the securitization products which were the reference assets of our securitization schemes for transferring credit risks to third parties (hedged portion), approximately JPY 46 billion of Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments was newly provided as of Mar. 31, 2008 against unrealized losses on securitization products related with the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe, which had been made as an alternative to loans (the provisioned losses were included in the above Realized Gains/Losses for FY2007).

Since securities were recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, the above balances as of Mar. 31, 2008 were offset against Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments.

*2 The proportions of balances (fair value) of the securitization products, as of Mar. 31, 2008, which were the reference assets of our securitization schemes (with CDS and other means) for transferring credit risks to third parties until maturity.

In some of the securitization schemes, a portion of credit risk of the reference assets remained with Mizuho Group through our retaining a small first loss position and a portion of senior tranches.

(Reference) CDS* counterparties:

Banking subsidiary (AA rating) of a multi-line insurance company: approximately JPY 213 billion

Government-affiliated financial institution (AA rating): approximately JPY 100 billion

  * Notional amount basis. Ratings were based on the lowest external ratings as of Mar. 31, 2008
*3 The decreased amount from Dec. 31, 2007 included approximately JPY 86 billion of foreign exchange translation impact (JPY appreciation).
*4 Mizuho Corporate Bank acquired a CDO as a substitution payment of loans provided to its sponsoring overseas ABCP conduit in FY 2007. The information on this CDO was disclosed in our 3Q FY2007 financial results in which it was referred to as a CDO of approximately JPY 150 billion included as an underlying asset in the ABCP program. The proportion of US subprime mortgage loan related assets to total underlying assets of this CDO was up to approximately 30%. The entire balance (fair value) consisted of Super Senior tranche.
*5 The entire balance consisted of securitization products backed by original assets (non-securitized assets).

(Reference) Credit Default Swaps related to securitization products (as of Mar. 31, 2008)

 

The notional amount of credit default swaps (CDS*) referring to securitization products at Mizuho Securities was approximately JPY 330 billion, and the fair value of their reference assets (securitization products) was approximately JPY 266 billion. Therefore, NPV, or the estimated amount claimable for the settlement of the CDS, was approximately JPY 63 billion, which was the difference between the notional amount and the fair value. (The above included CDS contracts with a US monoline (external ratings as of Mar. 31, 2008: AAA (stable)), of which the notional amount was approximately JPY 83 billion and the fair value was approximately JPY 74 billion)
  * excluding CDS shown in line 4 and 7 of the above table

 

Vast majority of the above CDS contracts were with counterparties of external ratings AA or higher (as of Mar. 31, 2008), and their reference assets were securitization products mainly backed by claims against corporations.

*  In addition to “Securities” on the consolidated balance sheets, NCDs in “Cash and Due from Banks” and certain items in “Other Debt Purchased” are also included.

*  Fair value of Japanese stocks with a quoted market price is determined based on the average quoted market price over the month preceding the consolidated balance sheet date.

    Fair value of securities other than Japanese stocks is determined at the quoted market price if available, or other reasonable value at the consolidated balance sheet date.

*  The book values of Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value, so Unrealized Gains/Losses indicate the difference between book value on the consolidated balance sheet and the acquisition cost.

*  Unrealized Gains /Losses include ¥37,202 million, ¥14,090 million and ¥3,935 million, which were recognized in the statement of income for March 31, 2008, September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively, by applying the fair-value hedge method.

    As a result, the base amounts to be recorded directly to Net Assets after tax and consolidation adjustments as of March 31, 2008, September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 are ¥640,678 million, ¥1,864,212 million and ¥2,437,185 million, respectively.

*  Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Other Securities, net of Taxes (recorded directly to Net Assets after tax and consolidation adjustments, excluding the amount recognized in the statement of income by applying the fair-value hedge method, including translation differences regarding securities which do not have readily determinable fair value) as of March 31, 2008, September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 are ¥401,375 million, ¥1,180,567 million and ¥1,550,628 million, respectively.

* In addition to “Securities” indicated on the balance sheets, NCDs in “Cash and Due from Banks” and certain items in “Other Debt Purchased” are also included.
* Fair value of Japanese stocks with a quoted market price is determined based on the average quoted market price over the month preceding the balance sheet date.
   Fair value of securities other than Japanese stocks is determined at the quoted market price if available, or other reasonable value at the balance sheet date.
* The book values of Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value, so Unrealized Gains/Losses indicate the difference between book value on the balance sheet and the acquisition cost.

2. Estimation of Deferred Tax Assets, etc.

Non-Consolidated

(1) Calculation Policy

Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets is basically assessed based on future taxable income derived from future profitability, considering that Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking’s fundamental profitability enabled the three banks consistently to report an appropriate level of Net Business Profits in previous periods. Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking’s tax losses carry-forwards and future deductible temporary differences in the past resulted from nonrecurring special causes, e.g. losses from extraordinary and significant waiver of claims due to the crash of the bubble economy, acceleration of disposition of NPLs and stock holdings in accordance with government policy to stabilize promptly the financial system under the long deflationary depression, and the restructuring of businesses to meet the severe management environment. Since the three banks could have reported positive taxable income every year if the losses from these special factors were excluded, the conditions under the provisory clause of 5. (1)  of “Audit Guideline for Considering Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets” (JICPA Audit Committee Report No. 66) have been fulfilled. Period for future taxable income considered in the assessment is five years.

<Explanation>

Future taxable income was estimated using more conservative assumptions than those used in the Business Plan. Details of the respective estimated five-year totals are as follows:

Gross Profits: ¥4,813.0 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥2.863.0 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥1,950.0 billion [3]

Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥1,075.0 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Temporary Differences: ¥1,411.8 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥984.2 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥375.7 billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥235.8 billion [25], ¥372.5 billion [26] of Net Deferred Tax Assets was recorded on the balance sheet.
