Financial Results
- Operating income decreased by A$51 million year-on-year (a decrease of 0.8% year-on-year; a decrease of 9.0% year-on-year on a Japanese yen basis due to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations), due to a decrease mainly in the volume of Global Forwarding handled, owing to deterioration of external environment including a slowing Australian economy and U.S.-China trade friction.
- While operating income remained sluggish, operating expenses increased by A$107 million year-on-year (an increase of 1.7% year-on- year; a decrease of 6.8% year-on-year on a Japanese yen basis due to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations), owing to an increase in personnel expenses. As a result, net operating loss (EBIT) of A$78 million was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Overview
- Core profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 increased by ¥7.3 billion year-on-year to ¥300.4 billion, mainly due to a decrease in operating expenses reflecting the impact of the suspension of active sales activities since the middle of July, 2019 and an increase in positive spread, despite a decrease in the number of policies in force and an increase in expenses resulting from the investigation of insurance policies. Ordinary profit (consolidated) increased by ¥19.9 billion year-on-year to ¥233.9 billion due to an increase in non-recurring gains (losses).
- Net income (consolidated) increased by ¥18.3 billion year-on-year to ¥115.0 billion, mainly due to an increase in ordinary profit (consolidated), in addition to a decrease in provision for reserve for policyholder dividends associated with a decline in the number of participating insurance policies, and achieved 85.8% of the financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.
- Annualized premiums from new policies for individual insurance and medical care each decreased significantly compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. Annualized premiums from policies in force for individual insurance and medical care each decreased compared with the end of the previous fiscal
year.(Notes 1 and 3) - Internal reserves, which are the sum of contingency reserve and reserve for price fluctuations, amounted to ¥2,726.0 billion. Solvency margin ratio (consolidated), an indicator of financial soundness, amounted to 1,131.6% and real net assets (consolidated) amounted to ¥13,490.2 billion, reflecting a continuously maintained high level of financial soundness.
Notes: 1. Policies in force for individual insurance include those for Postal Life Insurance Policies, which show contracts reinsured by Japan Post Insurance from the Organization for Postal Savings, Postal Life insurance and Post Office Network.
- Figures less than ¥0.1 billion are rounded down.
- Please refer to "Status of Insurance Policies" on page 10 for annualized premiums from new policies and policies in force for medical care.
