- Q1You explained that the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス large losses in domestic and overseas, etc. was a factor to decrease pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits in 1H. How much have you revised your projections for large losses, etc. in the revised projections?
- A1
We do not disclose large losses projections 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス both domestic and overseas.
新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス TMNF, because large losses, etc. 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 1H 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcreased by approx. 25billionyen(before-tax) YoY, we have reflected a certa新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the revised projections.
Regarding overseas, although the definition 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス large losses, etc. differ by the size 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス subsidiaries, we revised business unit pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits downward by billions 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス yen due to large losses in fire at Philadelphia, Europe, and Asia. - Q2How do you think the market environment 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス reinsurance and direct underwriting change after the next fiscal year considering hurricanes in North America, etc.?
- A2
The s新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスt market under the excess capacity conditions has continued so far in the reinsurance market. Due to the frequent large natural catastrophes these days, we project a certain hardening in fire contracts including catastrophe risks mainly in the affected areas.
We project the rate cutting will come to an end or turn into a certain level 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス hardening in direct underwriting market at developed countries as well.
At the current moment, although there are many uncertain factors in the reaction 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the market and factors and although we think the impact will not reach the level in the past due to excess capacity, these movements may lead to business opportunities for further pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスit growth in overseas insurance business. Therefore, we will continue to keep a close eye on the future trends. - Q3Together with the dividend and share buy-back, the shareholder return is likely to exceed 230 billion yen in FY2017 full-year projections. How did you decide a share buy-back 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 100 billion yen this time?
- A3
We maintain the current policy as below and have no target 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス total shareholder return ratio. We regard average adjusted net income as the source 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス dividends.
① Our primary means 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス shareholder return is dividends
② We place share buy-back as a means 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス adjustment 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス capital level, executed with flexibility based on market conditions and capital level, etc.
Although pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス FY2017 will fall due to the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス natural catastrophes, etc., our earnings potential is steadily increasing. We have decided this amount 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス buy-back, considering our capital level is enough to withstand even under sudden financial market changes as well as future business investment opportunities, etc. - Q4Due to the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス hurricanes in North American, etc., the full-year projections 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス natural catastrophe losses increased to 93 billion yen(before-tax, business unit pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits basis) in overseas insurance business. Wildfires in California have already occurred in 2H but how much annual budgets remain?
- A4
The result 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス nat-cat losses was 9.5 billion yen, and net incurred losses relating to large natural catastrophes such as hurricanes in North America, etc. was 63.6 billion yen up to 2Q. Although we are currently gathering the figure 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス wildfires in California, several billion yen is projected at this moment. We believe it will remain within the range 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 93 billion yen.
- Q5The underwriting pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスit 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス TMNF excluding natural catastrophes and catastrophe loss reserves is decreasing due to the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス large losses, and the progress rate is low.
Usually, the auto L/R tends to deteriorate 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 2H but would it be possible to recover 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 2H? - A5
Although we have revised the full-year projections downward due to the unusual big impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス large losses, etc., we consider the impact to be temporary and average level 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス losses are projected in 2H. Because the underwriting result in the first year in auto in 2H will be a positive factor, we believe we can achieve the revised full-year projections.
- Q6Even under conditions such as bus新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスess acquisition from AIG, you have significantly 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcreased the share buy-back amount. Why?
- A6
As I mentioned earlier, we decide the implementation 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス share buy-back based on capital level, market conditions, and future business investment opportunities, etc. To keep enhancing ROE, we will continue to pursue a balance between business investment opportunities and enhancement 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス shareholder return as well as maintenance 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス capital discipline.
- Q7What is the underlying factors for the downward revisions 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス full-year projections in TMNL?
- A7
Although we do not disclose the amount, the ma新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス factors are as below.
・Increase in provision 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス underwriting reserves for a new product for corporations which was not factored in the original projections
・新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcrease 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス provision for cont新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスgency reserves due to an 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcrease 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス foreign exchange ga新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスs - Q8In the IR meeting in May, you mentioned that additional methods to share buy-back will also be considered for future capital adjustment. Again, is this in the background 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス this significant share buy-back?
- A8
The decision 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス share buy-back is as explained earlier, and the diversification 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス adjustment methods has no effect on it. We plan to explain the additional methods to share buy-back at the IR meeting next week.
- Q9Is the capital level sufficient even after the significant buy-back?
- A9
The capital level is still higher than the target level even after the buy-back. Therefor we th新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスk the level is sufficient.
- Q10You expla新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスed earlier that the earn新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスgs potential has 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcreased. Could you please share with us more on that?
- A10
The diversification 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス portfolio is also proceeding through the mid-term business plan, which means we have the ability to generate stable earnings.
- Q11What are the reasons for increasing the full-year projections 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス natural catastrophe losses in domestic non-life insurance business by 21 billion yen on business unit pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits basis? Isn’t the amount too large considering the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス hurricanes in North America, etc. which was approx. 0.8 billion yen?
- A11
TMNF recorded 18.7 billion yen as net incurred losses 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス hurricanes in North America, etc. on financial accounting basis, owing to the reinsurance from overseas subsidiaries. On business unit pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits, the reinsurance from overseas subsidiaries to TMNF is recognized as overseas insurance business results, and excluding these impacts, the impact in domestic non-life insurance business is limited to 0.8 billion yen. The main factor for increasing the full-year projections 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス natural catastrophes is the typhoons. We projected net incurred losses 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 11.3 billion yen for Typhoon No.18 and 30 billion yen for Typhoon No.21.
- Q12You have revised upward by 63 billion yen in business unit pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits (increase in MCEV) 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス TMNL. How much is the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the rising interest rates?
- A12
The main factor 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the upward revision is the economic environment fluctuation such as the rise in yen interest rates, etc., and the impact is about 60 billion yen.
- Q13As the amount taken down from catastrophe loss reserves is projected in the full-year projections 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス domestic non-life insurance business, we understand that the additional impact on gains and losses is limited even if natural catastrophes increases more than expected. On the other hand, looking at slide page 18, the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス catastrophe loss reserves is 26.9 billion yen while the impact 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス natural catastrophes is 41 billion yen. What is the reason 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス this difference?
- A13
Regarding catastrophe loss reserves, the portion that exceeds each prescribed L/R by line category will be taken down. There will be a gap until it reaches the prescribed L/R in line categories that didn’t project the taken down in the original projection. In addition, because the amount taken down is calculated on W/P basis and not E/I basis, a portion projected to remain as outstanding losses at the end 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス the fiscal year is not subject to be taken down.
- Q14Why is the progress rate 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス pr新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスits low in TMNL?
- A14
It is ma新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスly due to an 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスcrease 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス cont新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナスgency reserves 新しいカジノ 入金不要ボーナス 2Q.
