Material Changes and Segment Performance
Revenue growth was driven by increased gains on investment securities, dividends, life insurance premiums, and service income.

- Environment and Energy: Turned a loss of ¥4.9 billion in FY2025 into a profit of ¥115.8 billion, driven by gains on sales of subsidiaries and investment securities.
- PE Investment and Concession: Profits rose 27% to ¥125.6 billion.
- Insurance: Profits increased 38% to ¥102.9 billion due to higher premiums and investment income.
- ORIX USA: Profits collapsed 98% to ¥0.95 billion due to significant goodwill impairments and increased credit loss provisions.
- Banking and Credit: Profits declined 7% to ¥27.2 billion.
