Notes:

  1. Sompo Holdings carried out a reverse split of stocks to combine common stocks at a ratio of four shares to one share on October 1, 2011. Net income per share, dividends per share, and number of shares outstanding (excluding treasury stock) are calculated based on the assumption that the reverse split of stocks was executed at the beginning of fiscal 2010.
  2. Reflecting amendments to the “Accounting Standard for Business Combinations,” etc., since fiscal 2015 the presentation of “net income” has been amended to “net income attributable to shareholders of the parent.”
  3. From the end of fiscal 2011, the consolidated solvency margin ratio as the standard of consolidated financial soundness has been calculated in accordance with the related laws and regulations, including the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Insurance Business Act, revised on March 31, 2011. Above, the figures for fiscal 2012 and before and the figures for fiscal 2013 and after are calculated on a different basis, reflecting the law revision concerning the standards for the calculation of the solvency margin ratio that was enforced at the end of fiscal 2013. Figures are not presented for fiscal 2010.
  4. Diluted net income per share for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011 is not shown due to the recording of net loss per share.
  5. Since fiscal 2016, the definition of adjusted consolidated profit has been changed. (Fiscal 2015 figures have been recalculated and presented based on new standards.)
  6. U.S. dollar amounts are translated from yen at the rate of ¥110.99 = U.S.$1.00, the approximate rate prevailing at March 31, 2019.

    1. Figures are the total of Scope 1 (direct emissions due to use of gasoline, etc.), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from electricity and other energy sources), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across entire value chains, including transport and business trips). Since fiscal 2012, the Group has received an annual Assurance Statement from a third-party certification organization. The coverage of the survey is as follows.
      Fiscal 2012: NKSJ Holdings, Inc. (currently Sompo Holdings, Inc.), and 27 consolidated subsidiaries
      Fiscal 2013: Sompo Japan Insurance Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries, and NIPPONKOA Insurance Co., Ltd., including consolidated subsidiaries
      Fiscal 2014: Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Insurance Inc. and some of its consolidated subsidiaries, including overseas subsidiaries
      Fiscal 2015: Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Holdings and its main consolidated subsidiaries and operating companies
      Fiscal 2016–Fiscal 2018: Sompo Holdings, Inc., and its main consolidated subsidiaries
      Emissions in fiscal 2017 were recalculated based on fiscal 2018 standards.
    2. Data for overseas consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31 in each fiscal year. Data for domestic operating companies as of April 1 in each fiscal year between fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2018; record dates differ before fiscal 2013.

    Adjusted Financial Indicators
    Adjusted consolidated profit is a profit indicator that is meant to more accurately reflect business results and is calculated by adjusting consolidated net income based on JGAAP for catastrophic loss reserve and other items.
    This indicator is used to determine shareholder returns.

Consolidated Indicators for Sompo Holdings

Expansion in Net Premiums Written

In fiscal 2018, net premiums written declined slightly owing to the sale of Canopius; excluding this factor, they would have increased, mainly reflecting firm sales of products to small and medium-sized enterprises in other lines. Life insurance premiums written also grew strongly due to an increase in the number of policies in force.

Change in the Target Range for the Total Payout Ratio, Basic Policy to Continue Raising Dividends

In fiscal 2019, Sompo Holdings changed its target range to between 50% and100% for the total payout ratio and aims to further improve shareholder returns. The Company plans to increase dividends again for the sixth straight year (including estimates for fiscal 2019), in line with its basic policy of continuing to raise dividend payments.

Medium-Term Improvement Trend in Capital Efficiency

In fiscal 2018, adjusted consolidated ROE declined to 4.5% due to the impact from natural disasters in Japan and elsewhere, but it remained on pace to achieve a record-high level once the impact from natural disasters returns to a normal level. The Company continues to steadily improve capital efficiency.

Increase in the Ratio of Female Employees in Managerial Positions from the Promotion of Diversity

The Sompo Holdings Group has positioned diversity as part of its business strategy and aims to increase the percentage of female employees in managerial positions to 30% by the end of fiscal 2020. We have been proactively promoting female employees to managerial positions.
