Comment from Koichi Kawai, Representative Director, President, Head of Global Investment Research Division

We are very pleased to commence research coverage on Yokohama Financial Group, which, since its establishment in 2016, has undergone business integration with Higashi-Nippon Bank and Kanagawa Bank, centered on the Bank of Yokohama, and changed its corporate name to the current one in October 2024.

The company is actively pursuing business expansion, such as the acquisition of L&F Asset Finance, and achieved significant increases in both revenue and profit in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, with ordinary revenue up 23.4% and ordinary profit up 32.0% year-on-year. This places it on a prominent growth trajectory among regional bank groups. For this fiscal year's financial results, we will conduct a multi-faceted analysis from an analyst's perspective, covering the full scope of the performance contribution from the L&F Asset Finance acquisition and how the rising interest rate environment has contributed to the expansion of funding profits.

ENVALITH will contribute to the revitalization of Japan's capital markets by delivering the corporate value of Yokohama Financial Group, which is in a phase of expanding profits, to global investors in Japanese, English, and Chinese.
