Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Mizuho Financial Group filed a Form 6-K providing unaudited Japanese GAAP consolidated results for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Ordinary income was ¥4,337,537 million, slightly below ¥4,585,215 million a year earlier, but ordinary profits rose to ¥849,626 million from ¥747,079 million as expenses declined. Profit attributable to owners of parent increased to ¥689,947 million from ¥566,141 million, and comprehensive income attributable to owners climbed to ¥843,748 million from ¥588,854 million, reflecting stronger other comprehensive income. Total assets grew to ¥288,757,081 million and total net assets to ¥11,076,007 million as of September 30, 2025, supported by higher retained earnings and larger unrealized gains on securities.

Insights

Mizuho shows stronger profitability and equity growth despite softer income.

Mizuho Financial Group reports a mixed but overall favorable first half of fiscal 2025 under Japanese GAAP. Ordinary income eased to ¥4,337,537 million from ¥4,585,215 million, mainly as interest income and trading income declined, yet ordinary profits improved to ¥849,626 million from ¥747,079 million. This indicates better spread management and cost control, even with higher general and administrative expenses.

Bottom-line performance is notably stronger. Profit attributable to owners of parent rose to ¥689,947 million from ¥566,141 million, and comprehensive income attributable to owners increased to ¥843,748 million from ¥588,854 million. The jump in net unrealized gains on other securities and higher equity markets helped lift accumulated other comprehensive income to ¥1,168,538 million.

The balance sheet expanded, with total assets up to ¥288,757,081 million and total net assets to ¥11,076,007 million as of September 30, 2025. Credit quality metrics show a lower subtotal of problem claims compared with March 31, 2025, while allowances for loan losses decreased, reflecting management’s assessments under Japanese supervisory guidance. Future filings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 will further clarify the sustainability of these profitability and credit trends.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Fundamental and Important Matters for the Preparation of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.

Scope of Consolidation

 

(1)

Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 253

Names of principal companies:

Mizuho Bank, Ltd.

Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd.

Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd.

Change in scope of consolidation

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, UPSIDER Holdings, Inc. and twenty-nine other companies were newly included in the scope of consolidation as a result of business acquisition and other factors.

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, J.Score CO., LTD and eleven other companies were excluded from the scope of consolidation as a result of dissolution and other factors.

 

(2)

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries: 0

 

2.

Application of the Equity Method

 

(1)

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries under the equity method: 0

 

(2)

Number of affiliates under the equity method: 27

Names of principal companies:

Custody Bank of Japan, Ltd.

Orient Corporation

Mizuho Leasing Company, Limited

Change in scope of equity method

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, NestBlue Co., Ltd. was newly included in the scope of equity method as a result of establishment.

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, UPSIDER Capital was excluded from the scope of equity method and included in the scope of consolidation as a result of capital restructuring.

 

(3)

Number of non-consolidated subsidiaries not under the equity method: 0

 

(4)

Affiliates not under the equity method:

Pec International Leasing Co., Ltd.

Affiliates not under the equity method are excluded from the scope of the equity method since such exclusion has no material effect on MHFG’s interim consolidated financial statements in terms of Profit (Loss) (amount corresponding to MHFG’s equity position), Retained Earnings (amount corresponding to MHFG’s equity position), Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (amount corresponding to MHFG’s equity position) and others.

 

3.

Interim Balance Sheet Dates of Consolidated Subsidiaries

 

(1)

Interim balance sheet dates of consolidated subsidiaries are as follows:

 

June 30    36 companies   
September 30    211 companies   
January 31    1 company   
October 31    3 companies   
July 31    2 companies   

 

- 11 -


(2)

The subsidiaries with an interim balance sheet date of October 31 are consolidated based on interim financial statements as of July 31, and the subsidiary with an interim balance sheet data of January 31 is consolidated based on its tentative interim financial statement as of and for the period ended the interim balance sheet date. Other consolidated subsidiaries were consolidated based on their interim financial statements as of and for the period ended their respective interim balance sheet dates.

The necessary adjustments have been made to the interim financial statements for any significant transactions that took place between their respective interim balance sheet dates and the date of the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

4.

Standards of Accounting Method

 

(1)

Trading Assets & Liabilities and Trading 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 interim consolidated balance sheet. Income or expenses generated on the relevant trading transactions are recorded in Trading Income or Trading Expenses on the interim consolidated statement of income.

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

Trading Income and Trading Expenses include the interest received and the interest paid during the six months ended September 30, 2025, 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 six months ended September 30, 2025, and the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of financial derivatives between the beginning and the end of the six months ended September 30, 2025, assuming they were settled at the end of the six months ended September 30, 2025.

For financial derivatives, fair value is calculated on the basis of net assets or liabilities after offsetting financial assets and liabilities with respect to specific market risks and specific credit risk.

 

(2)

Securities

 

  (a)

Bonds held to maturity are stated at amortized cost (straight-line method) and determined by the moving average method. Investments in affiliates not under the equity method are stated at acquisition cost and determined by the moving average method. Other Securities are stated at market price (cost of securities sold is calculated primarily by the moving average method). Stocks and others without a quoted market price are stated at acquisition cost and determined by the moving average method.

The net unrealized gains (losses) 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.

 

  (b)

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

 

(3)

Derivative Transactions

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

Fair value is calculated on the basis of net assets or liabilities after offsetting financial assets and liabilities with respect to specific market risks and specific credit risk.

 

(4)

Depreciation of Fixed Assets

 

  1)

Tangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets)

Depreciation of buildings is computed mainly by the straight-line method, and that of others is computed mainly by the declining-balance method. The amount based on estimated annual depreciation expenses is allocated to each period.

The range of useful lives is as follows:

 

Buildings

   3 years to 50 years   

Others

   2 years to 20 years   

 

- 12 -


  2)

Intangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease 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 from five to ten years as determined by MHFG and consolidated subsidiaries.

 

  3)

Lease Assets

Depreciation of lease assets booked in Tangible Fixed Assets and Intangible Fixed Assets which relate to finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership is mainly computed by the same method as the one applied to fixed assets owned by us.

 

(5)

Deferred Assets

Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

(6)

Allowances for Loan Losses

Allowances for Loan Losses 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 the 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.

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 for the next one year or three years are maintained at rates derived from historical credit loss experience or historical bankruptcy experience for one or three years and making necessary adjustments such as future prospects and others. Allowance for Loan Losses 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.

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 ¥322,250 million (¥96,218 million at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025).

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.

(Additional Information)

In light of the principles set forth in the report entitled “JFSA’s supervisory approaches to lending business and loan loss provisioning” published by JFSA on December 18, 2019, we have reflected the potential impact of macroeconomic uncertainty and others on credit risks on Allowances for Loan Losses for some credit. More specifically, we used scenarios based on developments in monetary policy, trade and industry policies, and their ripple effects, and others. These scenarios include the forecasted GDP growth rate, energy prices, financial variables, including interest rates and exchange rates, increased rate of labor costs, the future outlook of the business environment for specific portfolio segments considering the impact of tariff policies and other factors in the United States, and concerns about deteriorating earnings on the future prospects such as the ripple effect on the automotive supply chain, etc. Expected impacts on the portfolio from these scenarios, based on our comprehensive judgmental analysis, are reflected in the Allowances for Loan Losses. There are no material changes in the methods of the above accounting estimates and the major assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements from those of the previous fiscal year.

 

(7)

Allowance for Investment Losses

Allowance for Investment Losses 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.

 

(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 six months ended September 30, 2025, based on the estimated future payments.

 

(9)

Reserve for Variable Compensation

Reserve for Variable Compensation, which is prepared for the payments of performance payments and stock compensation to be paid as variable compensation within compensation for directors, group executive officers and operating officers of Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd., and Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd., is maintained to provide estimated payments based on the standard amount regarding variable compensation of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

 

(10)

Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits

Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits, which is provided for future retirement benefit payments to directors, corporate auditors and executive officers, is recognized at the amount accrued by the end of the six months ended September 30, 2025, based on internally established standards.

 

(11)

Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans

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. The balance is an estimate of possible future losses considered to require a reserve.

 

(13)

Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits

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

 

(14)

Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures

Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures is provided for the debentures derecognized from liabilities at the estimated amount for future claims.

 

- 14 -


(15)

Reserve under Special Laws

Reserve under Special Laws is Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange.

This is the reserve pursuant to Article 46-5 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and Article 175 of the Cabinet Office Ordinance regarding Financial Instruments Business, etc. to indemnify the losses incurred from accidents in the purchase and sale of securities, other transactions or derivative transactions.

 

(16)

Accounting Method for Retirement Benefits

In calculating retirement benefit obligations, a benefit formula basis is used as a method of attributing expected retirement benefits to the period up to the end of the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized actuarial differences are recognized as follows:

Unrecognized prior service cost: Recognized mainly as income or expenses in the period of occurrence.

Unrecognized actuarial difference: 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 (mainly 10 years) of the respective fiscal years.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries apply the simplified method that assumes the amount required for voluntary resignation at the end of the six months ended September 30, 2025 to be retirement benefit obligations in computing net defined benefit liability and retirement benefit expenses.

 

(17)

Revenues

Securities-related business fees mainly consist of brokerage fees and commissions, and asset-based revenues. Brokerage fees and commissions include fees earned from the execution of customer transactions and sales commissions of stocks, bonds and investment trusts, which are recognized at the point in time on the transaction date with the customer. Asset-based revenues include fees received from investment trust management companies in return for administration services, such as record keeping services, of investment trusts, which are recognized over time in the period when the related service is provided.

Deposits and Lending business fees consist of deposit-related fees and lending-related fees. Deposit related fees are within the scope of “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition,” while most of Lending-related fees such as commitment fees and arrangement fees are not.

Hedge Accounting

 

  (a)

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 transaction 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 in accordance with the method stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No.24, March 17, 2022).

The effectiveness of hedging activities for the portfolio hedge transaction 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, 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, effectiveness is assessed based on the correlation between a base interest rate index of the hedged instrument and that of the hedging instrument.

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

 

- 16 -


  (b)

Foreign Exchange Risk

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries 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 Committee Practical Guideline No.25, October 8, 2020). The effectiveness of the hedge is assessed by confirming that the amount of the foreign currency position of the hedged monetary claims and liabilities is equal to or larger than that of currency-swap transactions, exchange swap transactions, and similar transactions designated as the hedging instruments of the foreign exchange risk.

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.

 

  (c)

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 Committee Practical Guideline No. 24 and 25.

As for certain assets and liabilities of MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries, the deferred method, the fair-value hedge method or the exceptional accrual method for interest rate swaps are applied.

Additional Information

The Board Benefit Trust (“BBT”) Program

Since MHFG operates its business to contribute to the creation of value for diverse stakeholders and realize improved corporate value through the continuous and stable growth of the MHFG Group pursuant to MHFG’s basic management policy defined under the Mizuho Financial Group’s Corporate Identity, MHFG has introduced a stock compensation program using a trust (the “Program”) that functions as an incentive for each director, executive officer, operating officer, and others (the “Officers”) to exert maximum effort in performing his or her duties, and also as consideration for such exertion of effort.

 

(1)

Outline of the Program

The Program has adopted the Board Benefit Trust (“BBT”) framework. MHFG’s shares on the stock market will be acquired through a trust established based on the underlying funds contributed by MHFG, and MHFG’s shares will be distributed to each of the Officers of MHFG, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd., and Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. set forth in the Rules on Distribution of Shares to be prescribed in advance. The framework consists of the stock compensation program based on the Officers’ responsibilities in their respective company (“Stock Compensation I”), the stock compensation program based on the performance evaluation of the MHFG Group (“Stock Compensation II”) and the stock benefit program based on the Officers’ responsibilities in their respective company and the performance evaluation of the MHFG Group, which distributes MHFG’s shares (“Stock Benefit”).

Stock Compensation I will be paid at the time of retirement in the form of shares of MHFG calculated based on the Officers’ responsibilities. A system is adopted which enables a decrease or forfeiture of the amount depending on the performance of the company or the individual.

Stock Compensation II will be paid in the form of shares of MHFG and will be deferred over three years, which is calculated based on the status of achieving financial-related indicators and evaluation of stakeholder-related indicators that the MHFG Group regard as important in order to improve corporate value over the medium to long term. A system is adopted which enables a decrease or forfeiture of the amount of the deferred portion depending on the performance of the company or the individual.

Stock Benefit will be paid in the collective form of MHFG’s share which is based on responsibilities in their respective company and the performance evaluation of the MHFG Group. Reduction and forfeit of the benefit can occur in the program.

Upon the payment of stock compensation under the Program, MHFG may, for a certain portion, pay a monetary amount equivalent to the market value of its stock in lieu of stock compensation set forth in the Rules on Distribution of Shares.

Voting rights related to MHFG’s shares belonging to the trust assets under the trust shall not be exercised.

Claims against Bankrupt and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors are claims against debtors in bankruptcy due to the commencement of bankruptcy procedures, the commencement of reorganization proceedings, the petition for the commencement of rehabilitation proceedings, and claims equivalent to these.

Claims with Collection Risk are claims of which the debtor is not yet in a state of bankruptcy, but its financial position and business performance have deteriorated, and it is highly probable that principal’s collection and interest on claims in accordance with the terms of the contract will not be received. These claims do not fall under the category of Claims against Bankrupt and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors.

Loans Past Due for 3 Months or More are loans on which payments of principal and/or interest have not been made for a period of three months or more since the next day following the first due date, and which are not included in Claims against Bankrupt and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, or Claims with Collection Risk.

Restructured Loans represent loans whose 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. Claims against Bankrupt and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, Claims with Collection Risk and Loans Past Due for 3 Months or More are not included.

Normal Claims are deemed to have no particular problem with the obligor’s financial position and business performance and are classified as other than Claims against Bankrupt and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, Claims with Collection Risk, Loans Past Due for 3 Months or More and Restructured Loans.

The amounts given in above are gross amounts before deduction of amounts for the Allowances for Loan Losses.

Financial Instruments

 

1.

Matters relating to fair value of financial instruments and breakdown of fair value by level

The following are the interim consolidated balance sheet amounts (the consolidated balance sheet amounts), fair values, differences between them and breakdown of fair values by level. Stocks and others without a quoted market price and Investments in Partnerships and others are excluded from the table below (see (Note 3)). In addition, notes concerning Cash and Due from Banks, Call Loans and Bills Bought, Receivables under Resale Agreements, Guarantee Deposits Paid under Securities Borrowing Transactions, Foreign Exchanges (assets / liabilities), Call Money and Bills Sold, Payables under Repurchase Agreements, Guarantee Deposits Received under Securities Lending Transactions, and Due to Trust Accounts are omitted since these instruments are mainly settled in the short term and the fair values approximate the book values.

Fair values of financial instruments are categorized into three levels as below on the basis of the observability and the materiality of the valuation inputs used in fair value measurements.

Fair values of Level 1: Fair values measured by quoted prices of the assets or liabilities being measured which are given in active markets among observable valuation inputs

Fair values of Level 2: Fair values measured by inputs other than inputs included within Level 1 among observable valuation inputs

Fair values of Level 3: Fair values measured by unobservable valuation inputs

When several inputs that have significant impact on fair value measurement are used and those inputs are categorized into different levels, the fair value is categorized into the lowest priority level for fair value measurement among the levels in which each of the inputs belongs.

Explanation of valuation techniques and valuation inputs used in fair value measurements

Assets

Monetary Claims Bought

Fair values of securitized products of Monetary Claims Bought are based on the values deemed as market prices obtained by the model such as those obtained from brokers and financial information vendors and are categorized as Level 3 when significant unobservable valuation inputs are used for the obtained price and as Level 2 when other inputs are used.

With respect to Monetary Claims Bought other than those described above, when the present values of the expected future cash flows are considered to be fair values, those Monetary Claims Bought are mainly categorized as Level 3 since the discount rate and other significant valuation inputs are unobservable. When those are short term in nature and the book values are considered to be fair values, those Monetary Claims Bought are categorized as Level 3.

Trading Assets

Fair values of Trading Assets for which unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets are available are categorized as Level 1, which includes mainly government bonds.

In the case the market is inactive even if the quoted market price is available, those Trading Assets are categorized as Level 2, which includes mainly local government bonds and corporate bonds.

When fair values are measured at the discounted cash flow method and others using significant unobservable inputs, those Trading Assets are categorized as Level 3.

Money Held in Trust

With respect to securities managed as trust assets in a directed money trust for separate investment with the management of securities as its primary purpose, fair values of stocks are measured at the price in stock exchanges and bonds are measured at market price or valuation price obtained from brokers or financial information vendors and are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 based on the level of components.

The notes to Money Held in Trust based on holding purpose are stated in (Money Held in Trust.)

Securities

Fair values of Securities for which unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets are available are categorized as Level 1 which includes mainly stocks and government bonds. In the case the market is inactive even if the quoted market price is available, those Securities are categorized as Level 2, which includes mainly local government bonds and corporate bonds.

Fair values of investment trusts are measured at the market price or the disclosed net asset value and others. Those for which unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets are available are categorized as Level 1 and that are not available as Level 2. Additionally the investment trusts for which there are no transaction prices in markets with no significant limitations from market participants to demand compensation for the risk are valued using net asset value and are categorized as Level 2.

Fair values of private placement bonds are measured by discounting the total amount of principal and interest and others at interest rates based on the discount rate reflecting expected loss and various risk factors to market yield by categories based on the internal ratings and terms and are categorized as Level 3 when the impact from unobservable valuation inputs is significant and as Level 2 when it is not significant.

Fair values of securitized products are based on valuations obtained from brokers and others, and on model-based prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management. These are categorized as Level 3 when significant unobservable valuation inputs are used and as Level 2 when other inputs are used. In deriving model-based prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management mentioned above, we used the discounted cash flow method. The price decision variables include default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, and discount rates.

The notes to Securities based on holding purpose are stated in (Securities).

 

- 35 -


Loans and Bills Discounted

Fair values of Loans and Bills Discounted are mainly measured by discounting the total amount of principal and interest and others at interest rates based on the discount rate reflecting expected loss and various risk factors by categories according to the types, internal ratings and terms of the Loans and Bills Discounted and are categorized as Level 3 since the discount rate is unobservable.

In addition, fair values of claims against bankrupt obligors, substantially bankrupt obligors, and intensive control obligors whose bad debts are mainly measured at the present value of the expected future cash flows or the estimated amounts calculated based on the recoverability from collateral and guarantees approximate the amount of claims and others minus the amount of Allowances for Loan Losses in the consolidated balance sheet as of the consolidated balance sheet date and those amounts are considered to be fair values which are categorized as Level 3.

Among the Loans and Bills Discounted, for those without a fixed maturity due to loan characteristics such as limiting loans to within the value of pledged assets, book values are considered to be fair values since fair values are expected to approximate book values based on the estimated loan periods, interest rates and other conditions. Fair values of those Loans and Bills Discounted are categorized as Level 3.

Liabilities

Deposits and Negotiable Certificates of Deposit

For demand deposits, the payment amounts required on the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e., book values) are considered to be fair values.

In addition, fair values of time deposits and Negotiable Certificates of Deposits are calculated by classifying them based on their terms and by discounting the future cash flows. The discount rates used in such calculations are the market interest rates. Since fair values of those whose deposit terms are short (i.e., within six months) approximate book values, the book values are considered to be fair values and those fair values are categorized as Level 2.

Trading Liabilities and Other Liabilities

Fair values of Trading Liabilities and short positions in bonds included in Other Liabilities for which unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets are available are categorized as Level 1, which includes mainly listed stocks and government bonds.

In the case the market is inactive even if the quoted market price is available, those Trading Liabilities are categorized as Level 2, which includes mainly corporate bonds.

When significant unobservable inputs are used, those Trading Liabilities are categorized as Level 3.

Borrowed Money

Fair values of Borrowed Money are measured mainly by discounting the total amount of the principal and interest of such Borrowed Money classified by period lengths at the interest rates considered to be applicable to similar loans and are categorized as Level 3 when the impact from unobservable valuation inputs is significant and as Level 2 when it is not significant.

Bonds and Notes

With respect to Bonds and Notes issued by MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries, fair values of Bonds and Notes with market prices are measured at the market prices and fair values of those without market prices are calculated by discounting the total amount of the principal and interest at the interest rates considered to be applicable to similar Bonds and Notes. Bonds and notes with market prices are categorized as Level 2. Those without market prices are categorized as Level 3 when the impact from unobservable valuation inputs is significant and as Level 2 when it is not significant.

Certain foreign subsidiaries have adopted the fair value option to Bonds and Notes issued by themselves, and the fair value is calculated based on the valuation model. When unobservable inputs are not used or the impact of unobservable inputs is not material, those Bonds and Notes are categorized as Level 2. When significant unobservable inputs are used, those Bonds and Notes are categorized as Level 3.

 

- 36 -


Derivative Transactions

Derivative transactions that can be measured at unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are categorized as Level 1, which includes such transactions as bond futures and interest rate futures.

However, since most derivative transactions are over-the-counter transactions and there are no quoted market prices, market values are measured using valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flow method and the Black-Scholes model, depending on the type of transaction and the maturity period. The main inputs which are used in those valuation techniques are interest rate, currency rate, volatility and others. In addition, price adjustments based on credit risk of counterparty and credit risk of consolidated subsidiaries themselves and price adjustments for unsecured funding are made. When unobservable inputs are not used or impact of unobservable inputs are not material, those derivative transactions are categorized as Level 2, which includes such transactions as plain vanilla interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forwards. When significant unobservable inputs are used, those derivative transactions are categorized as Level 3, which includes transactions such as commodity related transactions.

Explanation of the process of fair value measurement

In MHFG, middle-offices and back-offices have established policies and procedures related to the measurement of fair values and procedures related to usage of the valuation model. For the fair values and the level categories, the validity of the valuation techniques and valuation inputs used in fair value measurement are verified.

In fair value measurement, valuation models in which the nature, characteristics and risks of individual assets are most appropriately reflected are used. In addition, when quoted prices obtained from third parties are used, the validity of the prices is verified by appropriate methods such as confirmation of valuation techniques and used valuation inputs and comparison with the fair values of similar financial instruments.

 

(4)

Explanation of the impact on fair values in the case where significant unobservable inputs are varied

Prepayment rate

The prepayment rate is the estimated rate at which voluntary unscheduled repayments of the principal of the underlying assets are expected to occur. The movement of the prepayment rate is generally negatively correlated with borrower delinquency. A significant change in the prepayment rate would generally significantly impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments either positively or negatively, depending on the structure of financial instruments.

Default rate

The default rate is an estimate of the likelihood of not collecting contractual payments. A significant increase (decrease) in the default rate would generally be accompanied by a decrease (increase) in the recovery rate and an increase (decrease) in the discount rate. It would also generally significantly impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments negatively (positively).

Recovery rate

The recovery rate is an estimate of the percentage of contractual payments that would be collected in the event of a default. A significant increase (decrease) in recovery rate would generally be accompanied by a decrease (increase) in the default rate. It would also generally significantly impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments positively (negatively).

Discount rate

The discount rate is an adjustment rate to a benchmark market interest rate such as TIBOR or swap rates. It primarily consists of a risk premium component which is the amount of compensation that market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the financial instruments’ cash flows resulting from credit risk. A significant increase (decrease) in discount rate would generally significantly impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments negatively (positively).

Correlation

Correlation is the likelihood of the movement of one input relative to another based on an established relationship. A significant change in correlation would significantly impact the valuation of derivatives either positively or negatively, depending on the nature of the underlying assets.

Volatility

Volatility is a measure of the expected change in variables over a fixed period of time. Some financial instruments benefit from an increase in volatility and others benefit from a decrease in volatility. Generally, a significant increase (decrease) in volatility would result in a significant increase (decrease) in option values and, for a long position in an option, it would result in a significant increase (decrease) in the fair values of financial instruments.

Impairment (“Devaluation”) of Securities

Certain Securities other than Trading Securities (excluding Stocks and others without a quoted market price and Investments in Partnerships and others) are devalued to the fair value, and the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value is treated as a loss for the six months ended September 30, 2025 (the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026). If the fair value has significantly deteriorated compared with the acquisition cost (including amortized cost), the difference is treated as impairment (devaluation) unless it is deemed that there is a possibility of a recovery in the fair value.

The amount of impairment (devaluation) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was ¥3,984 million.

The amount of impairment (devaluation) for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was ¥363 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
