• Nomura completed the Macquarie Acquisition, buying investment management businesses for about $1.8 billion and increasing assets under management from ¥89.3 trillion to ¥134.7 trillion.

Negative

• Investment Management pretax income declined 5.2% to ¥70.2 billion, and net inflows fell from ¥2,334 billion to ¥721 billion, a 69.1% decrease, despite higher segment net revenue.

Insights

Equity analyst

Nomura delivers broad-based profit growth and closes a sizeable Macquarie acquisition.

Nomura shows stronger earnings momentum, with net revenue rising 10.5% to ¥1,590.5 billion and income before income taxes up 15.5% to ¥432.1 billion. Return on equity of 10.8% suggests improved profitability versus typical mid-single-digit levels for many global brokers.

Segment data indicate particularly robust Wholesale performance, where pretax income increased 22.2% to ¥157.3 billion, driven by Equities net revenue growth of 21.0%. Wealth Management also grew pretax income 9.6%, while Banking revenue expanded double digits despite higher costs.

A key strategic move is the Macquarie Acquisition, adding global asset management capabilities for about $1.8 billion, and lifting assets under management from ¥89.3 trillion to ¥134.7 trillion. The filing notes substantial provisional allocations to intangible assets and goodwill, so future disclosures on amortization and integration of the Acquired Companies will help clarify the medium-term earnings profile.

i.) Financial Position

As of December 31, 2025, Nomura’s main balance sheet indicators were as follows:

• Total assets: 61.9 trillion yen (an increase of 5.1 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2025 due mainly to an increase in Trading assets)

• Total equity: 3.8 trillion yen (an increase of 0.2 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2025 due mainly to an increase in Retained earnings)

• Total NHI shareholders’ equity: 3.7 trillion yen

As of December 31, 2025, Nomura’s capital-related indicators were as follows¹:

• Tier 1 Capital: 3,637 billion yen (3,500 billion yen as of March 31, 2025)

1 Ratios and figures in this paragraph represent preliminary estimates as of the date of this supplement release and may be revised upon finalization, which is currently expected to occur by April 2026.

NHI has been assigned as a Final Designated Parent Company who must calculate a consolidated capital adequacy ratio according to the “Establishment of standards on sufficiency of capital stock of a final designated parent company and its subsidiary entities, etc. compared to the assets held thereby” (2010 FSA Regulatory Notice No. 130; “Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company”). Since then, the Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company has been revised to be in line with Basel 2.5 and Basel III.

Since its designation as a Final Designated Parent Company in April 2011, NHI has been calculating its consolidated capital adequacy ratio according to the Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company and, from the end of March 2013, according to a Basel III-based consolidated capital adequacy ratio.

On December 1, 2025, Nomura completed the acquisition of all equity interests in Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc., Macquarie Investment Management Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., and Macquarie Investment Management Holdings (Austria) GmbH (collectively, “Acquired Companies”), pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into on April 22, 2025 (the “Macquarie Acquisition”). Upon completion, Nomura acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Companies for a total cash consideration of approximately $1.8 billion (equivalent to approximately ¥281.4 billion, based on an exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar = ¥156.35 as of December 1, 2025). Nomura has determined that a substantial portion of the purchase price has provisionally been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. As a result, these companies have become consolidated subsidiaries of Nomura with effect from December 1, 2025, and their results of operations and KPIs are included in the Investment Management figures disclosed under this Results of operation subsection and the following KPIs subsection beginning on such date.

Net revenue increased from ¥149.5 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 to ¥172.3 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in Business revenue including a result of the consolidation of the businesses acquired in the Macquarie Acquisition. Non-interest expenses were ¥102.1 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, an increase over the same period in the previous year as a result of expenses attributable to the Acquired Companies, amortization of intangible assets related to the acquired business and one-time acquisition-related costs. As a result, income before income taxes was ¥70.2 billion.
