TOKYO, May 20 (Pulse News Wire) – Tokio Marine Holdings,inc. (8766.T) reported a net profit of ¥487.18 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, marking an 8.5% increase compared to the previous year.
However, ordinary profit declined by 7.6%, reaching ¥1.46 billion due to various factors including natural disasters and policy changes. In its consolidated results, the company's revenue grew to ¥8.87 trillion, up from ¥8.87 trillion in the prior fiscal year. Notably, the impact of natural disasters decreased significantly, contributing to a reduction in claims payouts. Specifically, domestic disaster-related insurance payments dropped by 51.8%.
Domestic life insurance operations saw a contraction, with total policies held decreasing by 18,117 units, primarily driven by lower individual health and end-of-life benefit contracts. The company’s life insurance subsidiary, Tokio Marine Anshin Life Insurance Co., Ltd., experienced a sharp decline in profits, reporting a drop of 76.3% year-over-year. Additionally, the comparison between Japanese accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) revealed significant differences, particularly in the recognition of reinsurance benefits and goodwill amortization. Under IFRS, certain gains previously included in Japanese standards were recognized over time rather than immediately, leading to discrepancies in reported earnings.
Despite challenges, Tokio Marine remains optimistic about future growth prospects, attributing recent performance improvements to strategic investments and operational efficiencies across its diverse portfolio of businesses.
