Fiscal 2025
Effective from the end of FY2025, a new regulatory framework has been introduced to assess the solvency margin ratio based on the economic value of assets and liabilities. This enables evaluations that reflect actual market values and risks, rather than book values on financial statements.
We plan to disclose our consolidated solvency margin ratio for the end of FY2025 at the end of October 2026. It is projected to exceed the 100% threshold for triggering early corrective action.
