2.	Corporate Goals and Principles

(1)

Fundamental Management Policy

Nomura Group’s management vision is to enhance its corporate value by deepening society’s trust in the firm and increasing satisfaction of stakeholders, including that of shareholders and clients.

As “Asia’s global investment bank”, Nomura will provide high value-added solutions to clients globally, and recognizing its wider social responsibility, Nomura will continue to contribute to the economic growth and development of society.

To enhance its corporate value, Nomura places significance on earnings per share (“EPS”) and will seek to maintain sustained improvement of the management target.

(2)

Structure of Business Operations

Nomura Group’s business execution is to focus on business divisions, which are linked globally, rather than individual legal entities, under unified strategy. Nomura Group’s operations are comprised of Retail, Asset Management, and Wholesale. Nomura Group shall delegate its powers to each of these business divisions to an appropriate extent and establish its business execution structure by enhancing the professional skills of each of these business divisions, while strengthening linkages among these business divisions and fully demonstrating Nomura Group’s comprehensive capabilities.

(3)

Management Challenges and Strategies

In order to achieve our management objective, we are placing top priority on ensuring that profits are recorded by all business segments in all regions. This fiscal year, we made advancement on “narrowing and deepening” our business, and completed the cost reduction measure of a total of 1 billion dollars. We will continue our effort to increase profitability of our overseas operations and to exert the comprehensive strength of our Group.

As Asia’s global investment bank, we will continue to take appropriate measures toward tightening financial regulations globally. Starting from the end of March 2013, Basel III (the capital requirement regulations for financial institutions) has been phasing in and Nomura is now subject to these regulations. Liquidity regulations are also starting to be introduced as a part of new rules, and debates are ongoing, and Nomura needs to closely watch the impact of the regulation on the market. Furthermore, new rules for derivatives and other financial transactions are put in place in various countries, and as a global financial institution, Nomura needs to take necessary measures in responding to regulations on cross-border trading.

In the west, as well as the regulation on limiting scope of banking business which is being scheduled, increasing activities are taking place toward introducing additional regulations for large financial institutions. Especially in Europe, discussions continue to take place over introducing bank transaction tax and big progress is seen over directive on bank resolution scheme and banking unions. These regulatory tightening actions affect the trading markets of equities, bonds and their derivative products as well as the conditions of competition among financial institutions. Therefore, Nomura will take necessary measures in carefully responding to these changes.

Challenges and strategies in each division are as follows:

[Retail Division]

In our Retail Division in Japan, we focus on expanding and improving our service line-up offered through our sales channels including business offices, internet and call centers, aiming to meet and solve the individual needs and worries of each client. We seek to enhance our consulting-based sales and deliver top-quality services tailored to particular life plan or life stage of each client, so that the Nomura Group can remain a trusted partner to our clients.

[Asset Management Division]

In our investment trust business, we will provide clients with a diverse range of investment opportunities to meet investors’ various demands. In our investment advisory business, we will provide value-added investment services to our institutional clients on a global basis. We intend to increase assets under management and expand our client base for these two core businesses. As a distinctive investment manager based in Asia with the ability to provide a broad range of products and services, we aim to gain the strong trust of investors worldwide by making continuous efforts to improve investment performance.

[Wholesale Division]

Our Wholesale Division comprises Global Markets which offers sales and trading of global securities and structuring, and Investment Banking which offers capital raising and advisory services.

Global Markets has been focusing on delivering differentiated products and solutions to our clients by leveraging Nomura Group’s capabilities in trading, research, structuring, and global distribution. We aim to combine the capabilities among Fixed Income and Equities to further enhance comprehensive services and solutions to our clients.

In Investment Banking, we continue to enhance our global structure to further provide cross-border M&A and financing services both in domestic and overseas markets as well as to provide solution business services associated with the said M&A and financing, while the globalization of the business activities of our clients develops.

In order to provide quality services to meet the needs of our client, the importance of cooperation across business areas and regions is rapidly increasing. We will focus on Asia as a strategic region, with expectations of its medium- to long-term economic growth, where Nomura has regional competitive edge, aiming to engage in comprehensive initiatives.

We will further enhance initiatives aimed at cross-business and cross-regional cooperation. We aim to enhance our presence as a global financial services group by enhancing regional integration between Japan and the rest of Asia and enhancing the coordination of business between Asia and Europe, Americas and the rest of the world.

In implementing the initiatives outlined above, while also helping to strengthen the global financial and capital markets, we aim to bring together the collective strengths of our domestic and international operations to realize our management objectives and to maximize corporate value by enhancing profitability across our businesses in group.

[Risk Management and Compliance, etc.]

Amid the expansion of global business, we must continue to enhance our risk management system and increase its efficiency in order to ensure financial soundness and enhanced corporate value. We will continue to develop a system where senior management directly engage in a proactive risk management approach for precise decision making.

As our business becomes increasingly international and diverse, we recognize the growing importance of compliance. We will continue to focus on improving the management structure to comply with local laws and regulations in the countries that we operate. In addition, we will continuously review and improve our existing overall compliance system and rules with initiatives towards promoting an environment of high ethical standards among all of our executive management and employees. In this way, we will meet the expectations of society and clients toward the Nomura Group and contribute to the further development of the financial and capital markets.

The improvement measures announced in June 29, 2012, regarding the recommendations of administrative penalties imposed on our subsidiary, Nomura Securities Co. Ltd. in 2012 in connection with public stock offerings, have been fully implemented. By thoroughly implementing the improvement measures and making them function effectively, we aim to prevent recurrence and to regain trust; we will further enhance and reinforce our internal control system, with each and every one of our executive officers and employees having ethics as a professional engaged in the capital market.

We have been reinforcing our Internal Audit system aiming to ensure effectiveness of our highly developed risk management and efficacy of our governance. We will continue to strengthen efficiency of our internal governance system by reinforcing and ensuring the independence of our Internal Audit from the executive side, and to promote proper corporate activities.

3.	Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial information herein has been prepared in accordance with Nomura’s accounting policies which are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Nomura Holdings, Inc.’s Annual Securities Report (the annual report filed in Japan on June 27, 2013) and Form 20-F (the annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2013) for the year ended March 31, 2013.

On December 19, 2013, Ashikaga Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Ashikaga Holdings”) was listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Nomura’s investment in Ashikaga Holdings has historically been primarily reported within Trading assets and private equity investments – Private equity investments. However, following the listing, the investment is now reported within Other assets – Other in the consolidated balance sheets. Nomura carries this investment at fair value through election of the fair value option. The majority of gains and losses associated with this investment has historically been reported within Revenue – Gain (loss) on private equity investments. However, following the listing, such amounts are now reported within Revenue – Other in the consolidated statements of income. As a result of the Ashikaga Holdings listing in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, these changes are attributable to the shift from our Investment Banking business to a corporate-wide perspective in enhancing the corporate value of the share ownership.

Changes in Tax Laws

On March 31, 2014, the “Act (Act No. 10 of 2014) to partially revise the Income Tax Act and others” was promulgated. Under this Act, effective from the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2014, the Special Reconstruction Corporate Tax was abolished. As a result and for the expected reversal of temporary differences, the domestic effective statutory tax rates to calculate the deferred tax assets and liabilities commencing from April 1, 2014 fiscal year will be changed from 38% to 36%.

As a result of this change in the tax rates, the net deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) decreased by 1.7 billion yen while income taxes-deferred increased by the same amount.
