Group | Overseas |
Highlights: Group Adj. Profit (Progress by Domestic and Overseas) Domestic | Others |
- Domestic: Exceeded forecast
DFL exceeded the full-year forecast due to an improvement in the cost of acquiring new policies in the H2, which had been a downward pressure on profits. DL investment income and expenses remained above the progress through Q3 due to the weaker yen and higher interest and dividend income from increased dividends on stocks and alternative assets.
- Overseas: Achieved forecast
PLC, which posted a loss from the bankruptcy of FRC (1) in Q1, missed its full-year forecast; TAL substantially exceeded its full-year forecast due to solid profit progress, including a larger-than-expected contribution to profits from TLIS (Westpac Life).

Highlights: Profit - Group Adjusted Profit and Net Income
Group Overseas
Domestic Others
- Group adj. profit increased by 87% YoY, to ¥319.3 bn. DL reported a YoY increase as a decrease in interest and dividends income and a deterioration in gains/losses on derivative transactions were offset by recovery on gains from core insurance activities. DFL's increase YoY due to an improvement in cost burden associated with new policy sales. PLC reported a YoY increase in contribution to Group adj. profit due to a reduction in valuation losses (due to the rising interest rates) recorded in the last fiscal year. TAL increased mainly due to an improvement in underlying profitability, including the profit contribution from TLIS.
- Group net income increased by 85% YoY to ¥320.7 bn, due to the increase of Group adj. profit and DLRe's asset and liability valuation adjustments (other comprehensive income), etc., partially offset by goodwill amortization.

Highlights: New Business (Group VNB)
- Group VNB declined 30% YoY to ¥54.5 billion due to sluggish performance of DL, excluding the increase of the group annuity business, and PLC, despite the solid performance of DFL that shifted to the new standard.
- VNB for the three domestic companies are measured on the new standard basis. Although DL's VNB increased YoY due to the increase in group annuities, VNB excluding this impact decreased YoY, and the volume of sales of its primary products is still challenging. DFL's VNB increased YoY due to high sales volume throughout the year. VNB for the overseas companies are calculated based on the existing standard basis. PLC's VNB significantly declined YoY, as the impact of a significant decline in the first half due to technical factors in the calculation of some products was not reversed. Besides that, due in part to sluggish sales in the bank channel as DLVN's sales momentum declined, overall overseas VNB fell sharply by 81% YoY.
