Further information regarding factors that could affect our financial condition and results of operations is included in “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our registration statement on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 19, 2006, which is available in the Financial Information section of our web page at www.mizuho-fg.co.jp/english/ and also at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

(1) Results of Operations

Consolidated Gross Profits for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 came to ¥449.6 billion, decreasing by ¥26.3 billion from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This was because, despite an increase in net interest income from deposit and loan business, there was a decline in net dividend and interest income related to equity and other investments and non-interest income from Customer Groups of the banking subsidiaries, and a decrease in market-related income of the banking subsidiaries compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

General and Administrative Expenses amounted to ¥275.2 billion, increasing by ¥13.2 billion from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This resulted from the strategic allocation of management resources aimed at increasing top-line profits.

Credit-related Costs including Expenses related to Portfolio Problems reverted to a net provision of ¥38.2 billion, increasing by ¥53.4 billion from a net reversal in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

After reflecting the above, Net Income amounted to ¥116.4 billion, decreasing by ¥114.3 billion from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

(2) Financial Conditions

Total Assets as of June 30, 2007 amounted to ¥160,697.6 billion, increasing by ¥13,984.3 billion from the end of the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

Net Assets amounted to ¥6,523.4 billion, increasing by ¥693.1 billion from the end of the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This consists of ¥3,379.2 billion of Total Shareholders’ Equity, ¥1,514.8 billion of Total Valuation and Translation Adjustments, and ¥1,629.4 billion of Minority Interests.

As for asset accounts, Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥66,820.0 billion, increasing by ¥3,515.0 billion, and Securities amounted to ¥38,982.0 billion, increasing by ¥2,034.1 billion from the end of the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. As for liability accounts, Deposits amounted to ¥76,429.1 billion, increasing by ¥4,320.6 billion from the end of the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

OTHERS

(1) Adoption of Simplified Accounting Methods

The consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of income, and the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for the first quarter (excluding the notes other than for the segment information. Hereinafter referred to as “Quarterly consolidated financial statements.”) were prepared in conformity with the “Policy for Preparation of Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements” which MHFG established pursuant to the provisions of the standards for preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, etc., and the simplified accounting methods set out below to the extent that they do not materially mislead interested parties such as investors.

 

 

Accounting for Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans

(Self-assessment of Assets)

All claims are assessed by each claim origination department in accordance with the internally established “Self-assessment Standard.”

(Estimated rate of loss)

The amount of Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans is calculated by multiplying (a) the balance of claims extended to normal obligors, watch obligors, and intensive control obligors as of June 30, 2007, which was determined based on the above self-assessment, less the loans whose reserves were individually assessed and provided with, by (b) the estimated rate of loss of each obligor classification used in the financial statements for fiscal 2006.

(2) Independent Accountant’s Review

The quarterly consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the “Policy for Preparation of Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements” described in (1) above and were reviewed by MHFG's independent accountant, Ernst & Young ShinNihon.

(3) Changes in Accounting Methods and Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements since the Most Recent Fiscal Year

 

1. The “Tentative Auditing Treatment on Accounting for Depreciation” (the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“JICPA”) Auditing and Assurance Practice Committee Report No. 81, April 25, 2007) took effect from the fiscal year ending on or after April 1, 2007, following the revision of the Corporation Tax Law. Thus MHFG applied the new standards commencing with this period. Depreciation of Fixed Assets newly booked on or after April 1, 2007 is computed based on the revised Corporation Tax Law. The effect of this application on the consolidated statement of income is immaterial.

 

2. Given that the “Practical Solutions on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements (the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Report No. 18, May 17, 2006) took effect preliminarily from the fiscal year beginning on or before March 31, 2008, MHFG adopted the new standards commencing with this period. The effect of this adoption on the consolidated statement of income is immaterial.

This immediate release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including estimates, forecasts, targets and plans. Such forward-looking statements do not represent any guarantee by management of future performance. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

We may not be successful in implementing our business strategies, and management may fail to achieve its targets, for a wide range of possible reasons, including, without limitation, incurrence of significant credit-related costs; declines in the value of our securities portfolio; changes in interest rates; foreign currency fluctuations; revised assumptions or other changes related to our pension plans; failure to maintain required capital adequacy ratio levels; downgrades in our credit ratings; the effectiveness of our operational, legal and other risk management policies; our ability to avoid reputational harm; and effects of changes in general economic conditions in Japan.

Further information regarding factors that could affect our financial condition and results of operations is included in “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our registration statement on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 19, 2006, which is available in the Financial Information section of our web page at www.mizuho-fg.co.jp/english/ and also at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

Summary Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2007

 


Mizuho Financial Group (“the Group”) is focusing on enhancement of its competitiveness and profitability through continued steady implementation of the “Channel to Discovery” Plan. Even after we fully repaid the public funds, we continue to improve the Group’s capital quality and strengthen the capital base which we believe will sustain our growth strategies.

The summary results for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which reflect these efforts, are described below.

 


 

I. Summary of Income Analysis

 

· Consolidated Net Business Profits (Apr. 1-Jun. 30, 2007)

 

  Ÿ Consolidated Gross Profits for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by JPY 26.3 billion on a year-on-year basis. This was because, despite an increase in net interest income from deposit and loan business, there was a decline in net dividend and interest income related to equity and other investments and non-interest income from Customer Groups of the banking subsidiaries and a decrease in market-related income of the banking subsidiaries, compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

 

  Ÿ Consolidated Net Business Profits for the same period was JPY 166.2 billion (a decrease of JPY 39.1 billion on a year-on-year basis) due to a combination of the above factors and an increase in G&A expenses driven by an outlay of management resources for enhancing future top-line growth.

*2: Gains of JPY 7.7 billion on sales of stocks associated with credit and alternative investments, which we made as part of our efforts to diversify sources of our market-related income, were recorded as Net Gains related to Stocks.

 

· Consolidated Net Income (Apr. 1-Jun. 30, 2007)

 

  Ÿ Consolidated Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to JPY 116.4 billion (a JPY 114.3 billion decrease from that of the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly because, together with the aforementioned factors, Credit-related Costs in this period reverted to a net provision from a net reversal in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. Meanwhile, there has been no revision to our earnings estimates of JPY 350 billion for the first half of this fiscal year.

 

  Ÿ The Group continues to maintain a high level of financial soundness.

II. Steady Enhancement of the Group’s Comprehensive Profitability

 

· Net Interest Income

 

  Ÿ The average loan balance for the three-month period from April to June 2007 continued to increase, as shown on the graph, mainly driven by an expansion in overseas lending.

 

  Ÿ In addition, the domestic loan and deposit rate margin for the same period steadily improved (an increase of 0.14% compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year).

 

  Ÿ Meanwhile, despite an increase in net interest income from deposit and loan business of Customer Groups of the banking subsidiaries backed by the aforementioned improvement in the domestic loan and deposit rate margin, Consolidated Net Interest Income for the same period decreased on a year-on-year basis. This was mainly due to a decline in net dividend and interest income related to equity and other investments and a decrease in net interest income from the bond portfolio in the Trading segment.

LOGO

 

· Non-Interest Income

 

  Ÿ Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks for the three-month period from April to June 2007 amounted to JPY 76.1 billion, a decrease of JPY 3.1 billion on a year-on-year basis.

 

  Ÿ As for our business with individual customers, fee income related to investment trusts and individual annuities continued to increase.

 

  Ÿ As for our business with corporate customers, however, fee and commission income from foreign exchange business and overseas business, which showed a steady growth in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, and others, decreased.

LOGO


III. Disciplined Capital Management

The Group has been implementing disciplined capital management even after the full repayment of public funds in the last fiscal year, aiming to improve the quality of capital and strengthen the capital base which we believe will sustain its growth strategies.

 

· Repurchase of Own Shares (Common Shares)

 

  Ÿ On May 22, 2007, the Board of Directors resolved to set up a limit for repurchasing own shares (common shares) up to a maximum of JPY 150.0 billion. Repurchase will be made for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock (JPY 943.7 Bn in issued value) in consideration of the possibility that the number of shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period (on July 1, 2008). No such repurchase had been made as of the end of June.

 

· Repurchase of Treasury Stock Held by Our Subsidiary

 

  Ÿ On May 28, 2007, we repurchased and cancelled all the treasury stock (261,040.83 shares of common stock, JPY 221.1 billion in value) held by our subsidiary, Mizuho Financial Strategy Co., Ltd.

 

· Redemption of Preferred Securities

 

  Ÿ On June 29, 2007, we redeemed all of the JPY 185.5 billion of non-dilutive preferred debt securities which were issued in February 2002 and became redeemable at the issuer’s option in June 2007.
