Insights

Sell-side financial analyst

Solid H1: double-digit revenue, stronger pre-tax profit.

Nomura delivered broad-based improvement: net revenue of ¥1,038.8B (+10.8%) and income before taxes of ¥296.9B (+25.8%) for the six months ended Sept 30, 2025. Efficiency helped, with non-interest expenses up only 5.7%.

Segment mix mattered. Wholesale profit rose sharply (+43.1%) on modest revenue growth, while Investment Management and Banking saw profit pressure despite higher revenues. “Other” was boosted by gains tied to an April property sale, which is non-recurring.

Equity stood at ¥3,608.7B; annualized ROE was 11.3%. Cash returns included a ¥27.00 per-share dividend at the Sept 30 record date. Subsequent filings may clarify sustainability of Wholesale strength and the absence of one-time gains.

(6) Changes in Accounting Policies

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Asset: Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2023-08 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Asset: Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets” which requires all in-scope crypto assets be subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period through earnings. The ASU requires presentation of in-scope crypto assets separately from other intangible assets in the balance sheet and any changes from the remeasurement of in-scope crypto assets separately from changes in the carrying amounts of other intangible assets in the income statement. The ASU also introduces new disclosure requirements for in-scope crypto assets applicable to all entities. Nomura has applied this new accounting policy based on a modified retrospective approach from April 1, 2025. These accounting changes have not had a material impact on Nomura’s consolidated financial statements.

(7) Segment Information – Operating Segment

Nomura’s Chief Operating Decision Maker is the Executive Management Board (the “EMB”) which is the management function primarily responsible for assessing performance of and allocating resources to the business segments. The EMB reviews business segment results including Net revenue, Non-interest expenses, and Income before income taxes on a regular basis. The EMB uses these measures along with certain segment-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and budgets to evaluate segment performance and to make key operating decisions, including resource and capital allocations. Business segments’ information on total assets is not disclosed as EMB does not consider such information for its operating decisions and therefore, it is not reported.
