Tokyo, November 2, 2022—Nomura Holdings, Inc. today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.
Net revenue in the second quarter was 318.0 billion yen (US$2.2 billion)1, up 6 percent quarter on quarter and down 0.3 percent year on year. Income before income taxes jumped 2.7 times from last quarter and increased 70 percent compared to the second quarter last year to 31.5 billion yen (US$218 million). Net income attributable to Nomura Holdings shareholders was 16.8 billion yen (US$116 million), up 9.9 times quarter on quarter and 5.2 times year on year.
For the six months to September, Nomura reported net revenue of 617.0 billion yen (US$4.3 billion), down 8 percent from the same period last year. Income before income taxes decreased 55 percent to 43.2 billion yen (US$299 million), and net income attributable to Nomura Holdings shareholders was 18.5 billion yen (US$128 million), down 64 percent.
“First-half pretax income from our three core businesses was 49.7 billion yen,” said Kentaro Okuda, Nomura President and Group CEO.
“Our Wholesale business reported higher revenues from the previous year. In Global Markets, Fixed Income delivered stronger revenues amid market volatility. In Investment Banking, revenues from our Advisory business grew from the previous year on the back of multiple cross-border mandates and sustainability-related deals, offsetting a slowdown primarily in our ECM business.
“Investment Management booked solid business revenue mainly underpinned by continued inflows into the investment trust business. Strategic business initiatives in our private business showed continued momentum, helping lift alternative assets under management to over 1.2 trillion yen.
“In Retail, while flow revenues slowed as investors stayed in wait and see mode, recurring revenue continued to grow. Our recurring revenue cost coverage ratio reached a record 51 percent, reflecting successful efforts to control costs.
“Amid the ongoing market uncertainty, we remain committed to meeting the diversified needs of our clients and delivering sustainable growth.”
