I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our stakeholders for their continued support.

 

Pursuant to the Medium-Term Management Policy formulated and publicly announced on November, 2021, and the Seventh Medium-Term Management Plan based thereon, JSF, in its capacity as a TSE Prime-listed company that supports the infrastructure of securities and financial markets, set a management goal of achieving an ROE of 5% by the end of FY2025, while strengthening its corporate governance. Additionally, JSF has focused management efforts on increasing its earning power and improving its capital efficiency. As a result of efforts directed towards the achievement of these goals, consolidated ordinary profit for FY2023 reached ¥11 billion, surpassing the target of ¥10 billion, while consolidated ROE rose to 5.7%, exceeding the target of 5%. These outcomes represent an achievement of the management goals set through FY2025, two years ahead of schedule.

Given that our management efforts had achieved a certain level of success and we had reached a milestone, we formulated and publicly announced our Long-term Management Vision Targeted by JSF. Guided by our long-term management direction—“As Japan’s only securities finance company, JSF will continue to agilely and flexibly address the trading needs of securities and financial market participants. Through its contributions to market development, JSF will seek to concentrate the collective efforts of its Group companies to sustain growth and enhance its corporate value, while maintaining strong financial soundness.”—we are committed to steadily reinforcing our revenue base and stabilizing capital efficiency. Moving forward, we will work diligently toward a stable improvement in ROE, with an 8% benchmark as our target.

 

Our corporate message, “Be unique. Be a pioneer,” expresses our vision as Japan’s sole securities finance company to continually adapt to an ever-changing environment, integrate advancements in financial technology, and respond promptly and flexibly to the transaction needs of securities and financial market participants. Through these efforts, we aim to pioneer the future of both the market and our company. As a leading company in the securities finance industry, including loans for margin transactions, we aim to grow alongside the development of the financial and securities markets, responding swiftly to the evolving needs of a market increasingly shaped by the complexities of financial internationalization. We aspire to continue contributing to realizing a sustainable society through various measures and initiatives focused on enhancing market liquidity.

 

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our shareholders, business partners, market participants, and all stakeholders for your ongoing support.
