Tokyo, April 25, 2005
Notification of “Devaluation of Investments in Subsidiaries and Affiliates” on Stand-alone Financial Statements
Nomura Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) today announced that it will record a devaluation on the shares of an overseas subsidiary conducting investment business in Western Europe in its stand-alone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2005. This devaluation is due to changes of the treatment for local tax purposes made during the year ended March 31, 2005 with regards to certain investments held by this subsidiary. In accordance with Rules on Timely Disclosure of Tokyo Stock Exchange, the estimated amount of the devaluation in the Company’s stand-alone financial statements is shown in the table below.
The operating results for this subsidiary through the year ended March 31, 2004, which account for the majority of this devaluation, have already been reflected in all of the Company’s past consolidated financial statements released for all business periods through March 31, 2004.
The Company expects that income tax expense will increase in conjunction with the reduction of the subsidiary’s deferred tax assets. This will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, to be released on April 28, 2005.
