AUDITED CONSOLIDATED JAPANESE GAAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2022

On June 22, 2022, we published our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022 prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, or Japanese GAAP, as part of our annual securities report (yukashoken hokokusho) for the year ended March 31, 2022 filed by us with the relevant Japanese authorities. This document includes such audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Japanese GAAP differs in certain respects from International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IFRS, and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For a description of certain differences between IFRS and Japanese GAAP, see “Item 5.A Operating Results—Reconciliation with Japanese GAAP” in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Basis of presentation)

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was established on December 2, 2002 as a holding company for the SMBC Group (“the Group”) through a statutory share transfer (kabushiki iten) of all of the outstanding equity securities of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) in exchange for the Company’s newly issued securities. The Company is a joint stock corporation with limited liability (Kabushiki Kaisha) incorporated under the Companies Act of Japan. Upon formation of the Company and completion of the statutory share transfer, SMBC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The accounts of overseas subsidiaries and affiliated companies are, in principle, integrated with those of the Company’s accounting policies for purposes of consolidation unless they apply different accounting principles and standards as required under U.S. GAAP or IFRS, in which case a certain limited number of items are adjusted based on their materiality.

These consolidated financial statements are translated from the consolidated financial statements contained in the annual securities report filed under the Financial Instrument and Exchange Act of Japan (“FIEA based financial statements”) except for the addition of the non-consolidated financial statements and U.S. dollar figures.

Amounts less than ¥1 million have been rounded down. As a result, the totals in Japanese yen shown in the financial statements do not necessarily agree with the sum of the individual amounts.

The translation of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars is included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate at March 31, 2022 which was ¥122.41 to US$1. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at that rate.

4. Accounting policies

 

(1)

Standards for recognition and measurement of trading assets/liabilities and trading income/losses

Transactions for trading purposes (seeking gains arising from short-term changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or market prices of securities and other market related indices or from variation among markets) are included in “Trading assets” or “Trading liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets on a trade date basis. Profits and losses on trading-purpose transactions are recognized on a trade date basis, and recorded as “Trading income” and “Trading losses” on the consolidated statements of income.

Securities and monetary claims purchased for trading purposes are stated at the fiscal year-end market value, and financial derivatives such as swaps, futures and options are stated at amounts that would be settled if the transactions were terminated at the consolidated balance sheet date.

“Trading income” and “Trading losses” include interest received or paid during the fiscal year. The year-on-year valuation differences of securities and monetary claims are also recorded in the above-mentioned accounts. As for the derivatives, assuming that the settlement will be made in cash, the year-on-year valuation differences are also recorded in the above-mentioned accounts.

In terms of the evaluation of specific market risks and credit risks for derivative transactions, those fair values are calculated by group basis of the financial assets and liabilities based on net asset or liability after offsetting.

 

16


Table of Contents
(2)

Standards for recognition and measurement of securities

 

  1)

Debt securities that consolidated subsidiaries have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and are carried at amortized cost (based on straight-line method) using the moving-average method. Investments in affiliates that are not accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost using the moving-average method. Securities other than trading purpose securities, held-to-maturity securities and investments in affiliates are classified as “other securities” (available-for-sale securities). Other securities are carried at their period-end market prices (cost of securities sold is calculated using primarily the moving-average method). Stocks with no market prices are carried at cost using the moving-average method.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on other securities, net of income taxes, are included in “Net assets” except for the amount reflected on the gains or losses by applying fair value hedge accounting.

 

  2)

Securities included in money held in trust are carried in the same method as in (1) and (2), 1) above.

 

(3)

Standards for recognition and measurement of derivative transactions

Derivative transactions, excluding those classified as trading derivatives, are carried at fair value.

In terms of the evaluation of specific market risks and credit risks for derivative transactions, those fair values are calculated by group basis of the financial assets and liabilities based on net asset or liability after offsetting.

 

(4)

Depreciation

 

  1)

Tangible fixed assets (excluding assets for rent and lease assets)

Buildings owned by the Company and SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, are depreciated using the straight-line method. Others are depreciated using the declining-balance method. The estimated useful lives of major items are as follows:

 

Buildings:

 

7 to 50 years

 

Others:

 

2 to 20 years

 

Other consolidated subsidiaries depreciate tangible fixed assets primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

 

  2)

Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. Capitalized software for internal use owned by the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries is depreciated over its estimated useful life (5-10 years).

 

  3)

Assets for rent

Assets for rent are depreciated using the straight-line method, assuming that lease terms or useful lives of such assets are, in principle, their depreciation period and the salvage values are estimated disposal values when the lease period expires.

 

  4)

Lease assets

Lease assets with respect to non-transfer ownership finance leases, which are recorded in “Tangible fixed assets,” are depreciated using the straight-line method, assuming that lease terms are their expected lifetime and salvage values are zero.

Reserve for possible loan losses

The reserve for possible loan losses of major consolidated subsidiaries is provided as detailed below in accordance with the internal standards for write-offs and provisions.

For claims on borrowers that have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation proceedings or similar legal proceedings (“Bankrupt borrowers”) or borrowers that are not legally or formally insolvent but are regarded as substantially in the same situation (“Effectively bankrupt borrowers”), a reserve is provided based on the amount of claims, after the write-off stated below, net of the expected amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees. For claims on borrowers that are not currently bankrupt but are perceived to have a high risk of falling into bankruptcy (“Potentially bankrupt borrowers”), a reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on an overall solvency assessment of the claims, net of the expected amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees.

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) method for claims of large borrowers exceeding a certain amount, of which borrowers categories are bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers and whole or part of loans are classified as “Past due loans (3 months or more)” or “Restructured loans” requiring close monitoring, and whose cash flows from collection of principals and interest can be rationally estimated. SMBC establishes a reserve for possible loan losses using the DCF method for such claims in the amount of the difference between the present value of principal and interest (calculated using the rationally estimated cash flows discounted at the initial contractual interest rate) and the book value.

For other claims, they are recorded by estimating the amount of expected loss in the next one year or three years. The estimated amount of expected loss is calculated by using average ratio of loan-loss ratio or probability of bankruptcies for certain periods in the past based on actual loan losses or bankruptcies in the past one year or three years, and by making necessary adjustments including future estimations.

In addition, in light of the latest economic situation and risk factors, for potential losses for specific portfolios that are based on the future prospects with high probability, but cannot be reflected in actual loan losses in the past and in any individual borrower’s classification, a reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment.

For claims originated in specific overseas countries, an additional reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on the assessment of political and economic conditions.

Branches and credit supervision departments assess all claims in accordance with the internal rules for self-assessment of assets, and the Credit Review Department, independent from these operating sections, audits their assessment.

The reserve for possible loan losses of the Company and other consolidated subsidiaries for general claims is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on the historical loan-loss ratios, and for doubtful claims in the amount deemed uncollectible based on assessment of each claim.

For collateralized or guaranteed claims on bankrupt borrowers and effectively bankrupt borrowers, the amount exceeding the estimated value of collateral and guarantees is deemed to be uncollectible and written off against the total outstanding amount of the claims. The amount of write-off for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022 were ¥163,185 million and ¥163,664 million, respectively.

The amount is calculated by converting the outstanding points into a monetary amount, and rationally estimating and recognizing the amount that will be redeemed in the future.

 

(10)

Reserve for reimbursement of deposits

Hedge accounting

 

  1)

Hedging against interest rate changes

As for the hedge accounting method applied to hedging transactions for interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities, SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies deferred hedge accounting.

SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in “Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry” (JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No. 24, March 17, 2022) to portfolio hedges on groups of large-volume, small-value monetary claims and debts.

As for the portfolio hedges to offset market fluctuation, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges by classifying the hedged items (such as deposits and loans) and the hedging instruments (such as interest rate swaps) by their maturity. As for the portfolio hedges to fix cash flows, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges by verifying the correlation between the hedged items and the hedging instruments.

As for the individual hedges, SMBC also assesses the effectiveness of such individual hedges.

 

  2)

Hedging against currency fluctuations

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing Concerning Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in Banking Industry” (JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No. 25, October 8, 2020) to currency swap and foreign exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of lending or borrowing funds in different currencies.

Pursuant to JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guideline No. 25, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of currency swap and foreign exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of offsetting the risk of changes in currency exchange rates by verifying that there are foreign-currency monetary claims and debts corresponding to the foreign-currency positions.

In order to hedge risk arising from volatility of exchange rates for stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates and other securities (excluding bonds) denominated in foreign currencies, SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting or fair value hedge accounting, on the conditions that the hedged securities are designated in advance and that sufficient on-balance (actual) or off-balance (forward) liability exposure exists to cover the cost of the hedged securities denominated in the same foreign currencies.

 

  3)

Hedging against share price fluctuations

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary, applies fair value hedge accounting to individual hedges offsetting the price fluctuation of the shares that are classified under other securities, and accordingly evaluates the effectiveness of such individual hedges.

 

  4)

Transactions between consolidated subsidiaries

As for derivative transactions between consolidated subsidiaries or internal transactions between trading accounts and other accounts (or among internal sections), SMBC manages the interest rate swaps and currency swaps that are designated as hedging instruments in accordance with the non-arbitrary and strict criteria for external transactions stipulated in JICPA Industry Committee Practical Guidelines No. 24 and No. 25. Therefore, SMBC accounts for the gains or losses that arise from interest rate swaps and currency swaps in its earnings or defers them, rather than eliminating them.

Certain other consolidated subsidiaries apply the deferred hedge accounting, fair value hedge accounting or the special treatment for interest rate swaps.

Amortization of goodwill

Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a period in which its benefit is expected to be realized, not to exceed 20 years. Immaterial goodwill is charged or credited to income directly when incurred.

Information on details of the significant accounting estimates for the identified item

Based on the assessment of all claims including loans and bills discounted conducted in accordance with the self-assessment procedures, and borrower category determined depending on their credit risk status, the following amounts are recorded as a reserve for possible loan losses.

- The estimated amount of expected loss calculated for each borrower category based on the average value of historical loan-loss ratio or probability of default over a certain past period is recorded as a reserve for loan losses

- As for claims classified as substandard or lower level classifications whose cash flows from collection of principals and interest can rationally be estimated, the Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) method is applied for ones with large borrowers of those claims and the amount calculated by the DCF method is recorded as a reserve for loan losses

- As for expected loss based on the future prospects with high probability, but cannot be reflected in historical loan-losses and in any individual borrower category, the amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment is recorded as a reserve for loan losses

Reserve for possible loan losses recorded by the method above involves the following uncertainties in the process of estimation, hence requiring high-level managerial judgment.

- Consideration for qualitative factors including forward-looking information in determining borrower category

- Reasonable estimation of future individual cash flows in the DCF method

- Determination of a method for estimating expected loss based on future prospect in consideration of the latest economic environment and risk factors, and of the targeted portfolio

These may be affected by changes in economic environment, which have a potentially significant impact on the amount of reserve for possible loan losses for the next fiscal year.

(Note) For the estimation of the reserve for possible loan losses specifically related to the current international situation involving Ukraine and COVID-19, refer to (Additional Information).

Information on details of the significant accounting estimates for the identified item

(Grouping of assets)

As for land and buildings, etc., at SMBC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, a branch is the smallest unit of asset group, and intangible fixed assets and assets of Head Office, etc. which do not produce independent cash flows are treated as corporate assets. Corporate assets that are reasonably deemed to be used solely by each business unit are identified as each business unit’s corporate assets, and conducted impairment assessments on a business unit basis together with other related fixed assets. As for other corporate assets, impairment is recognized on a company level.

(Identifying indication of impairment, and testing and calculating recognition of impairment loss)

Fixed assets that have an indication of impairment are tested for recognition of impairment loss, and if recognition is required, their book values are reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduced amount is recorded as impairment loss. Recoverable amount is either net realizable value, which is deducting expected disposal cost from fair value of the fixed asset, or value in use which is the present value of cash flows expected to derive from the continuous use and disposal of the fixed asset after use.

Future cash flows and the growth rate used for testing the recognition of impairment loss as well as for calculating value in use are determined based on the factors including the estimation or judgment by management and the market growth rate, etc. Discount rate used for calculating value in use is determined based on the market interest rate and other market conditions, and these may be affected by changes in economic and financial environment. Therefore, if modification is required, it may have a potentially significant impact on the amount of impairment loss for fixed assets for the next fiscal year.

As for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, impairment loss of ¥37,795 million (tangible fixed assets ¥5,118 million, intangible fixed assets ¥32,677 million) related to the business assets attributable to the Retail Business Unit at SMBC is recorded. The future cash flows used to test recognition of impairment loss and calculate value in use is estimated based on the business plan of the business unit, which takes into account the balance of housing loans, as one of the major assumptions, and includes profit of the business unit adjusted on management accounting such as the collaboration profit with Group Companies, etc. The recoverable amount of calculating impairment loss is measured by using net realizable value. For the impairment loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, refer to (Notes to Consolidated statement of income).

Information on details of the significant accounting estimates for the identified item

The amount of tax associated with temporary differences is recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities excluding the amount of tax that is not expected to be collected or paid in the future accounting periods. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of the same taxable entity are offset and presented on a net basis.

While the recoverability of deferred tax assets is determined by reasonably estimating the scheduling of temporary differences and taxable income, in the event of changes to the scheduling of temporary differences, taxable income which is lower than initial estimation, or tax reform such as reduction of corporate income tax rate, there is a potentially significant impact on the amount of deferred tax assets for the next fiscal year.

(Changes in Accounting Policies)

Application of Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition etc.

The Company applied “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Statement No.29, March 31, 2020) etc. from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, and has recognized revenue in an amount expected to be earned in exchange for goods or services at the time when controls of the promised goods or services are transferred to customers.

As for the application of Accounting standards for Revenue Recognition etc., in accordance with transitional treatment stipulated in the proviso of Paragraph 84 of “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition”, the cumulative effects by the retroactive application of the new accounting policy previous to the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 are adjusted to “Retained earnings” of the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

As a result, “Retained earnings” decreased by ¥8,502 million at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

In accordance with the transitional measures set forth in Paragraph 89-3 of “Accounting Standards for Revenue Recognition,” information on breakdowns of revenues from contracts with customers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 is not disclosed in (Revenue Recognition).

1. The estimates of reserve for possible loan losses related to the impact of the current international situation involving Ukraine.

Considering the uncertain business environment caused by the current international situation involving Ukraine, estimation of the reserve for possible loan losses associated with the Russia-related credits is reflected in the consolidated financial statements by the following method. The Russia-related credits are mainly related to corporate customers in Russia.

For losses expected to be incurred in connection with individual borrowers based on the impact of economic sanctions imposed by governments of each country and the countermeasures taken by the Russian government, etc., a reserve for possible loan losses is provided by reviewing, as necessary, borrower categories based on the most recent available information. In addition, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded as a reserve for claims originated in specific overseas countries at an amount deemed necessary in consideration of the political and economic situation in Russia.

Furthermore, in light of the probability of delays in principal or interest payments and the easing of payment terms, etc. due to the prolonged impact of such economic sanctions and countermeasures, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded at an amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment.

As a result, a reserve for possible loan losses at a total of ¥75,398 million is recorded for the Russia-related credits.

2. The estimates of reserve for possible loan losses related to the impact of the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Considering the continuing uncertainty of the spread of COVID-19, estimation of the reserve for possible loan losses associated with COVID-19 is reflected in the consolidated financial statements by the following method.

For potential losses expected to be incurred related to individual borrowers due to deterioration in business performance and funding, a reserve for possible loan losses is provided by reviewing, as necessary, borrower category based on the most recent available information.

In addition, for potential losses which cannot be reflected in any of individual borrower category, a reserve for possible loan losses is recorded at an amount deemed necessary based on an overall assessment. The assessment is conducted by specifying the portfolio significantly affected by COVID-19 and estimating the impact of changes in the economic trend and market condition due to the voluntary restraint on the economic activities caused by COVID-19, after consideration of the effect of the government’s financial support on bankruptcy trends.

3. Transition from the consolidated corporate-tax system to the group tax sharing system

Companies are required to shift from the consolidated corporate-tax system to the group tax sharing system from the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2022, in accordance with the “Act for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act, etc.” (Act No. 8, 2020) enacted on March 31, 2020. However, the Company and certain consolidated domestic subsidiaries, currently adopting the consolidated corporate-tax system, applied the accounting treatment based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act before the revision for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, in accordance with the “Practical Solution on the Treatment of Tax Effect Accounting for the Transition from the Consolidated Taxation System to the Group Tax Sharing System” (ASBJ Practical Issue Task Force No. 39, March 31, 2020).

Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans

Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans are agreements to lend to customers, up to a prescribed amount, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. The amounts of unused commitments at March 31, 2021 and 2022 were as follows:

 

     Millions of yen

           2021                      2022          

The amounts of unused commitments

   ¥        71,255,100              ¥       72,708,112           

The amounts of unused commitments whose original contract terms are within 1 year or unconditionally cancelable at any time

     49,932,323                47,990,310           

Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of unused commitments does not necessarily affect actual future cash flow. Many of these commitments include clauses under which an application from customers can be rejected or contract amounts can be reduced in the event that economic conditions change, necessity for securing claims, or other events occur. In addition, at the time of contract, collateral such as premises and securities are requested to be pledged. Also after concluding the contracts, customer’s financial positions are monitored regularly based on internal procedures, and necessary measures such as revising contracts and securing claims are taken when such needs arise.

Land revaluation excess

SMBC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, revaluated its own land for business activities in accordance with “Act on Revaluation of Land” (the “Act”) (Act No. 34, effective March 31, 1998) and “Act for Partial Revision of Act on Revaluation of Land” (Act No. 19, effective March 31, 2001). The income taxes corresponding to the net unrealized gains are reported in “Liabilities” as “Deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation,” and the Company’s share of the net unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes, are reported as “Land revaluation excess” in “Net assets.”

Date of the revaluation

March 31, 1998 and March 31, 2002

Method of revaluation (stipulated in Article 3, paragraph 3 of the Act)

Fair values were determined by applying appropriate adjustments for land shape and timing of appraisal to the values stipulated in Article 2, item 3, 4 or 5 of “Order for Enforcement of Act on Revaluation of Land” (Cabinet Order No. 119 effective March 31, 1998).

As for land and buildings, etc., each branch, which continuously manages and determines its income and expenses, is the smallest unit of asset group for recognition and measurement of impairment loss of fixed assets. Intangible fixed assets and assets such as corporate headquarters facilities, training facilities, data and system centers, and health and recreational facilities which do not produce independent cash flows are treated as corporate assets.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, at the Retail Banking Unit at SMBC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, indications of impairment were identified due to continuous losses from operating activities caused by COVID-19. Therefore, in order to refine the treatment of some corporate assets, SMBC utilized management accounting to identify corporate assets that are reasonably deemed to be used solely by each business unit as that business unit’s corporate assets, and conducted impairment assessments on a business unit basis together with other related fixed assets. As a result, the carrying amounts of business assets (branches, software) that includes corporate assets attributable to the business unit are reduced to their recoverable amounts, and the decreased amounts are included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets.” The recoverable amount of the relevant business unit is calculated based on its net realizable value. When measuring the net realizable value, the net realizable value for land and buildings is calculated by subtracting the expected disposal cost from the real estate appraisal value estimated by an outside real estate appraiser.

At SMBC Trust Bank Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, in order to refine the treatment of corporate assets, SMBC Trust Bank Ltd. utilized management accounting to identify corporate assets that are reasonably deemed to be used solely by each business unit as that business unit’s corporate assets, and conducted impairment assessments on a business unit basis together with other related fixed assets. As a result, the carrying amounts of business assets (branches, software) that includes corporate assets attributable to the personal loans unit are reduced to their recoverable amounts, and the decreased amounts are included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets.” The recoverable amount of the Unit is measured by value in use, which is calculated by discounting future cash flows by 7%.

As for idle assets, each individual property is treated as an asset group for recognition and measurement of impairment. The carrying amounts of idle assets are reduced to their recoverable amounts, and the decreased amounts are included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets,” if there are indicators that the invested amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount is calculated using net realizable value, which is basically determined by subtracting the expected disposal cost from the real estate appraisal value.

As for lease assets, asset group for recognition and measurement of impairment is based on types of freight car. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, it was found that the invested amounts for some freight car assets may not be recoverable, and as a result, the carrying amounts for those freight cars are reduced to their recoverable amounts, and the decreased amounts are included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets.” The recoverable amount is measured by value in use, which is calculated by discounting future cash flows by 5%.

(Notes to financial instruments)

1. Status of financial instruments

 

(1)

Policies on financial instruments

The Group conducts banking and other financial services such as leasing, securities, consumer finance, system development and information processing. Its banking business includes deposit taking, lending, securities trading and investment, remittance and transfer, foreign exchange, bond subscription agent, trust business, and over-the-counter sales of securities investment trusts and insurance products.

These services entail holding of financial assets such as loans and bills discounted, bonds, and stocks. Meanwhile, the Group raises funds through deposit taking, borrowing, bond offering, etc. Furthermore, it undertakes derivative transactions to meet customers’ hedging needs to control market risk associated with deposit taking and lending (“ALM purposes”), and to make profit on short-term fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, etc. (“trading purposes”). At SMBC, the Company’s major consolidated subsidiary, derivative transactions for ALM purposes are undertaken by the Treasury Dept., the Global Investment Dept., and Portfolio Investment Dept. of the Treasury Unit, while derivative transactions for trading purposes are undertaken by the Trading Dept. of the Treasury Unit (derivative transactions for both ALM and trading purposes are undertaken by the Treasury Dept., Asia Pacific Division in Asia Pacific region, and the Treasury Dept., East Asia Division in East Asia region).

 

(2)

Details of financial instruments and associated risks

 

  1)

Financial assets

The main financial assets held by the Group include loans to foreign and domestic companies and domestic individuals, and securities such as bonds (government and corporate bonds) and stocks (foreign and domestic stocks), etc. Bonds such as government bonds are held for both trading and ALM purposes, and certain bonds are held as held-to-maturity securities. Stocks are held mainly for strategic purposes. These assets expose the Group to credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from nonperformance of obligations by the borrower or issuer due to factors such as deterioration in the borrower’s/issuer’s financial conditions. Market risk is the risk stemming from fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, or share prices. Liquidity risk is the risk arising from difficulty executing transactions in desired quantities at appropriate prices due to low market liquidity. These risks are properly monitored and managed based on “(3) Risk management framework for financial instruments” below.

 

  2)

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group include borrowed money and bonds, etc. in addition to deposits. Deposits mainly comprise deposits of domestic and foreign companies and domestic individuals. Borrowed money and bonds include subordinated borrowings and subordinated bonds with special clause specifying that the repayment order of borrowing or bond subordinates to other borrowings or bonds. Also, financial liabilities, like financial assets, expose the Group to not only market risk but also funding liquidity risk: the risk of the Group not being able to raise funds due to market turmoil, deterioration in the Group’s creditworthiness or other factors. These risks are properly monitored and managed based on “(3) Risk management framework for financial instruments” below.

 

  3)

Derivative transactions

Derivatives handled by the Group include foreign exchange futures; futures, forwards, swaps and options related to interest rates, currencies, equities, bonds and commodities; and credit and weather derivatives.

Major risks associated with derivatives include market risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk arising from nonperformance of contractual obligations due to deterioration in the counterparty’s financial conditions. These risks are properly monitored and managed based on “(3) Risk management framework for financial instruments” below.

Hedge accounting is applied to derivative transactions executed for ALM purposes, as necessary. Hedging instruments, hedged items, hedging policy and hedging method to assess the effectiveness of the hedge are described in “(Notes to significant accounting policies for preparing consolidated financial statements), 4. Accounting policies, (17) Hedge accounting.”

Risk management framework for financial instruments

The fundamental matters on risk management for the entire Group are set forth in “Policies on Comprehensive Risk Management.” The Company’s Management Committee establishes the basic risk management policy for the entire Group, based on the regulations, which is then approved by the Board of Directors. Each Group company has a risk management system based on the characteristics of its particular businesses and in accordance with the basic policy. Furthermore, the Group CRO is established to assess risk management across the Group unitarily and implement appropriate risk management. The Company is sharing information on group-wide risk management and strengthening related systems through the Group CRO Committee, which consists of the Group CRO and risk management representatives from strategically important Group companies.

 

  1)

Management of credit risk

The Company has established fundamental principles on credit risk management to thoroughly manage the credit risk of the entire Group. Each group company conducts integrated management of credit risk according to its operational characteristics, and the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits are managed quantitatively and continuously.

 

  (a)

Credit risk management system

The Group CRO formulates credit risk management policies each year based on the basic risk management policy for the entire Group. Meanwhile, the Credit & Investment Planning Dept. is responsible for the comprehensive management of credit risk. This department drafts and administers credit risk regulations, including the Group’s credit policies, and performs credit portfolio management including non-performing loans. The Company has also established the Credit Risk Committee to serve as a body for deliberating on matters related to group-wide credit portfolios.

At SMBC, the Company’s major consolidated subsidiary, the Credit & Investment Planning Dept. of the Risk Management Unit is responsible for the comprehensive management of credit risk. This department establishes, revises or abolishes credit policies, the internal rating system, credit authority regulations, credit application regulations, and manages non-performing loans and other aspects of credit portfolio management. The department also controls SMBC’s total credit risk by quantifying credit risk (i.e. calculating risk capital and risk-weighted assets) in cooperation with the Corporate Risk Management Dept. Moreover, the Credit Portfolio Management Dept. within the Credit & Investment Planning Dept. works to stabilize SMBC’s overall credit portfolio through selling credit derivatives and loan claims.

The credit departments of each business unit together with branches conduct credit risk management for loans handled by their units and manage their units’ portfolios. Credit approval authority is generally determined based on the credit amounts and internal grades, and the credit departments focus on analysis and management of customers and transactions with relatively high credit risk. The Credit Administration Dept. is mainly responsible for formulating and implementing measures to reduce the exposure of non-performing loans. Through industrial and sector-specific surveys and studies of individual companies, the Corporate Research Dept. works to form an accurate idea of the circumstances of borrower companies and identify those with potentially troubled credit positions at early stage.

Moreover, the Credit Risk Committee, a cross-departmental consultative body, rounds out SMBC’s oversight systems for undertaking flexible and efficient control of credit risk and ensuring the overall soundness of SMBC’s loan operations.

In addition to these, the Internal Audit Unit, operating independently of the business units, audits asset quality, grading accuracy, self-assessment, and appropriateness of the credit risk management system, and reports the audit results to the Management Committee and the Audit Committee.

Table of Contents
  (b)

Method of credit risk management

The Company properly manages the credit risk inherent in individual loans and the entire portfolio by assessing and quantifying the credit risk of each borrower/loan using the internal rating system. In addition to management of individual loans through credit screening and monitoring, it manages the credit portfolio as described below in order to secure and improve the credit portfolio’s soundness and medium-term profitability.

 

   

Appropriate risk-taking within capital

To keep credit risk exposure to a permissible level relative to capital, the Company sets the upper limit of the permissible risk of overall risk capital, which represents the soundness of the risk appetite index, based on each business unit’s risk appetite and portfolio plan, and monitors the credit risk capital as part of permissible risk.

 

   

Controlling concentration of risk

Because concentration of credit risk in an industry or corporate group has the potential to impair the Company’s capital significantly, the Company implements measures to prevent excessive concentration of loan in a single industry and to control large exposure to individual borrowers by setting maximum loan amounts and conducting loan reviews thoroughly. To manage country risk, the Company also has credit limit guidelines based on each country’s creditworthiness.

 

   

Greater understanding of actual corporate conditions and balancing returns and risks

The Company runs credit operations on the basic principle of thoroughly understanding actual corporate conditions and gaining profit commensurate with the level of credit risk entailed, and makes every effort to improve profit at after-cost (credit cost, capital cost and overhead cost) level.

 

   

Reduction and prevention of non-performing loans

For non-performing loans and potential non-performing loans, the Company carries out loan reviews to clarify credit policies and action plans, enabling it to swiftly implement measures to prevent deterioration of borrowers’ business situations, support business recoveries, collect on loans, and enhance loan security.

In regard to financial instruments such as investments in certain funds, securitized products and credit derivatives that indirectly retain risks related to assets such as corporate bonds and loan claims (underlying assets), such instruments entail market and liquidity risks in addition to credit risk, since such instruments are traded on the market. Credit risk management for these instruments involving detailed analysis and evaluation of characteristics of underlying assets is performed while market risk is comprehensively managed within the framework for managing market and liquidity risks. Moreover, guidelines have been established based on the characteristics of each type of risk to appropriately manage risks of incurring losses.

In regard to credit risk of derivative transactions, the potential exposure based on the market price is regularly calculated and properly managed. When the counterparty is a financial institution with which the Company frequently conducts derivative transactions, measures such as a close-out netting provision, which provide offsetting credit exposures between two parties in a single net payment from one party to the other in case of bankruptcy or other default event, are implemented to reduce credit risk.

 

  2)

Management of market and liquidity risks

The Company manages market and liquidity risks across the entire Group by setting allowable risk limits; ensuring the transparency of the risk management process; and clearly separating front-office, middle-office, and back-office operations for a highly efficient system of mutual checks and balances.

 

45


Table of Contents
  (a)

Market and liquidity risk management systems

In accordance with the basic risk management policy for the entire Group decided upon by the Management Committee, the Company determines important matters relating to the management of market and liquidity risks, such as basic policies and risk limits, in order to manage these risks. The ALM Committee meets four times a year, in principle, to report on the state of market and liquidity risk management and to discuss ALM operation policies. The Corporate Risk Management Dept., which is independent from the business units that directly handle market transactions, manages market and liquidity risks in an integrated manner. This department not only monitors the current risk situations but also reports regularly to the Management Committee and the Audit Committee. Furthermore, the ALM Committee at SMBC, the core bank of the Company, meets on a monthly basis to examine reports on the state of observance of limits on market and liquidity risks and to discuss ALM operation policies.

In addition, the Internal Audit Dept., which is independent of other departments, periodically performs comprehensive internal audits to verify that the risk management framework is properly functioning and reports the audit results to the Management Committee and the Audit Committee.

 

  (b)

Market and liquidity risk management methodology

 

   

Market risk management

The Company manages market risk by setting maximum loss and VaR (value at risk: maximum potential loss that may be incurred to a specific financial instrument for a given probability) within the market risk capital limit, which is set taking into account stockholders’ equity and other factors in accordance with the market transaction policies.

The Company uses the historical simulation method (a method for estimating the maximum loss by running simulations of changes in profit and loss on market fluctuations scenarios based on historical data) to measure VaR. Regarding banking activities (activities for generating profit through management of interest rates, terms, and other aspects such as loans and bonds in assets, deposits in liabilities) and trading activities (activities for generating profit by taking advantage of short-term fluctuations in market values and differences in value among markets), the Company calculates the maximum loss that may occur as a result of market fluctuations in 1 day with a probability of 1% based on 4 years of historical observation. With regard to the holding of shares (such as listed shares) for the purpose of strategic investment, the Company calculates the maximum loss that may occur as a result of market fluctuations in 1 year with a probability of 1% based on 10 years of historical observation.

Regarding risks associated with foreign exchange rates, interest rates, equity risk, option prices and other market risk factors, the Company manages such risks by setting a maximum limit on the indicator suited for each market risk factor such as BPV (basis point value: denotes the change in value of a financial instrument resulting from a 0.01 percentage-point change in the yield).

 

   

Quantitative information on market risks

As of March 31, 2022, total VaR of SMBC and its major consolidated subsidiaries was ¥62.6 billion for the banking activities, ¥25.9 billion for the trading activities and ¥1,226.4 billion for the holding of shares (such as listed shares) for the purpose of strategic investment.

However, it should be noted that these figures are statistical figures that change according to changes in assumptions and calculation methods, and may not cover the risk of future market conditions fluctuating drastically compared to market fluctuations of the past.

 

46


Table of Contents
   

Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk based on the framework of “setting management levels of risk appetite indicators” and “developing contingency plans.” Risk appetite indicators are quantitative benchmarks that select the types and indicate the levels of risk that the Company is willing to take on or tolerate. As an example, the Company sets a lower limit on the number of days over which cash flows could be maintained under the stress conditions such as deposit outflow, so as to secure funding sources that do not fall below the benchmark to avoid excessive reliance on short term funding. In addition, the Company develops contingency plans consisting of instructions, reporting lines and action plans in case of emergency.

Moreover, to manage the liquidity risk of marketable instruments, derivative transactions, etc., the Company has trading limits for each business office classified by currency, instrument, transaction period, etc. As for financial futures, etc., risks are managed by restricting positions to within a certain percentage of open interest in the entire market.

Supplementary explanations about matters concerning fair value of financial instruments

Fair values of financial instruments have been calculated using certain assumptions, and may differ if calculated based on different assumptions.

 

47


Table of Contents

2. Matters concerning fair value of financial instruments and breakdown by input level

The amounts on the consolidated balance sheet, the fair value of financial instruments as well as the difference between them, and fair value by input level are as follows.

The amounts shown in the following tables do not include stocks with no market price, etc., and investments in partnerships (refer to Note 3).

The fair values of financial instruments are classified into the following three levels depending on the observability and significance of the input used in the fair value measurement.

Level 1: Fair value determined based on the (unadjusted) quoted price in an active market for the same asset or liability

Level 2: Fair value determined based on directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs

Level 3: Fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs

If multiple inputs with a significant impact are used for the fair value measurement of a financial instrument, the financial instrument is classified to the lowest priority level of fair value measurement in which each input belongs.

(Note 1) Description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value

 

  

Assets

 

  

Monetary claims bought

The fair values of subordinated trust beneficiary interests related to securitized housing loans among monetary claims bought are determined by estimating future cash flows using the probability of default, loss given default and prepayment rate, and assessing the value by deducting the value of senior beneficial interests, etc. from the value of underlying housing loans.

The fair values of other transactions are, in principle, based on methods similar to the methods applied to Loans and bills discounted.

These transactions are mainly classified into Level 3.

 

  

Trading assets

The fair values of bonds and other securities held for trading purposes are, in principle, based on their market prices at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

The fair values of such bonds and other securities are mainly classified into Level 1 depending on the level of market activity. When fair value is determined based on either the prices quoted by the financial institutions, or future cash flows discounted using observable inputs such as interests, spreads, and others, they are classified into Level 2.

 

  

Money held in trust

The fair values of money held in trust are, in principle, fair values of securities in trust property calculated by the same method as securities that the Company owns. They are classified into Level 2.

 

  

Securities

In principle, the fair values of stocks (including foreign stocks) are based on the market price as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. They are mainly classified into Level 1 depending on the level of market activity. The fair values of securities with market prices other than stocks are based on the market price as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Japanese Government bonds, etc. are mainly classified into Level 1 and other bonds are classified into Level 2.

The fair values of privately-placed bonds with no market prices are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, taking into account the borrower’s probability of default, loss given default, etc. Those present values are discounted by a rate comprising a risk-free interest rate with certain adjustment. However, the fair values of bonds, such as privately-placed bonds issued by bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers are based on the bond’s book value after the deduction of the expected amount of a loss on the bond computed by using the same method applied to the estimation of a loan loss.

These transactions are mainly classified into Level 2.

 

  

Loans and bills discounted, and Lease receivables and investment assets

Of these transactions, considering the characteristics of these transaction, the fair values of overdrafts with no specified repayment dates are their book values as they are considered to approximate their fair values.

For short-term transactions, the fair values are also their book values as they are considered to approximate their fair values.

The fair values of long-term transactions are, in principle, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows taking into account the borrower’s probability of default, loss given default, etc. Those present values are discounted by a rate comprising a risk-free interest rate with certain adjustment. At certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company, the fair values are calculated based on the present values of estimated future cash flows, which are computed based on the contractual interest rate. Those present values are discounted by a rate comprising a risk-free rate and a credit risk premium.

Regarding claims on bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers, expected losses on such claims are calculated based on either the expected recoverable amount from disposal of collateral or guarantees, or the present value of expected future cash flows. Since the claims’ consolidated balance sheet amounts minus the expected amount of loan losses approximate their fair values, such amounts are considered to be their fair values.

These transactions are classified into Level 3.

Table of Contents
  

Liabilities

 

  

Trading liabilities

The fair values of bonds sold for short sales and other securities for trading purposes are, in principle, based on their market prices as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. They are mainly classified into Level 1.

 

  

Deposits, Negotiable certificates of deposit, and Due to trust account

Out of these transactions, the fair values of demand deposits and deposits without maturity are their book values. The fair values of transactions with a short-term remaining maturity are also their book values, as their book values are regarded to approximate their fair values. The fair values of transactions with a long-term remaining maturity are, in principle, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted by the interest rate assuming that the same type of deposit is newly accepted until the end of the remaining maturity.

The fair values of borrowings from the trust account related to covered bond issued by the trust account are based on the amount calculated in accordance with the price quoted by industry associations, etc.

These transactions are classified into Level 2.

 

  

Borrowed money and Bonds

The fair values of short-term transactions are their book values, as their book values are considered to approximate their fair values. For long-term transactions, their fair values are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the refinancing rate applied to the same type of instruments for the remaining maturity.

For transactions with the price quoted by industry associations, etc., fair value is based on the amount calculated by using the published price data, yield data, etc.

These transactions are classified into Level 2.

 

  

Derivative transactions

The fair values of listed derivatives are based on their closing prices. The fair values of over-the-counter derivative transactions are based on the present value of the future cash flows, option valuation models, etc., using inputs such as interest rate, foreign exchange rate, stock price, commodity price, etc.

Over-the-counter derivative transactions takes into account the counterparty’s and the Company’s credit risks, and the liquidity risks of the unsecured lending funds. Listed derivative transactions are mainly classified into Level 1. Over-the-counter derivative transactions are classified into Level 2 if observable inputs are available or impact of unobservable inputs to the fair values is not significant. If impact of unobservable inputs to the fair values is significant, they are classified into Level 3.

Description of the fair value valuation process

At the Group, the middle division establishes policies and procedures for the calculation of fair value, and the front division develops valuation models in accordance with such policies and procedures. The middle division verifies the reasonableness of the fair value valuation models, the inputs used, and the appropriateness of the classified fair value level of the calculated fair value.

Observable data is utilized as much as possible for the valuation model. If quoted prices obtained from third parties are used, those values are verified by comparison with results recalculated by the Company using the inputs for the valuation.

Description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in significant unobservable inputs

Probability of default

Probability of default represents the likelihood that the default will occur, and is calculated based on actual defaults in the past. A significant increase (decrease) in the default rate would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value.

Loss given default

Loss given default is the proportion of estimated losses in the event that default occurs to the total balance of bonds or loans and bills discounted, and is calculated based on actual defaults in the past. A significant increase (decrease) in loss given default would result in a significant decrease (increase) in a fair value.

Prepayment rate

Prepayment rate is the proportion of estimated principals assuming that prepayment is made in each period. In general, a significant change in prepayment rate would result in a significant increase or decrease in a fair value according to the contractual terms and conditions of the financial instruments.

Volatility

Volatility is an indicator that represents the estimation of severity of change over a certain period in values of inputs and market values. Volatility is estimated based on actual results in the past, information derived from third parties and other analysis approach. Volatility is mainly used in valuation of derivatives that refer to potential changes of interest rate, foreign exchange rate, stock price, etc. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility would generally result in a significant increase (decrease) in a fair value.

Correlation

Correlation is an indicator of the relation of variables such as interest rate, foreign exchange rate, Credit Default Swap (CDS) spread and stock price. Correlation is estimated based on actual results in the past, and is mainly used in valuation technique of complex derivatives, etc. A significant change in correlation would generally result in a significant increase or decrease in a fair value according to the contractual terms and conditions of the financial instrument.

(Note 3) Consolidated balance sheet amounts of stocks with no market prices, etc. and investments in partnership, etc. are as follows. In accordance with Paragraph 5 of the “Implementation Guidance on Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Guidance No.19, March 31, 2020) and Paragraph 27 of “Guidance for Application of Fair Value Measurement,” these amounts are not included in “Trading assets” and “Securities” stated on the tables disclosed in “Matters concerning fair value of financial instruments and breakdown by input level:

Write-down of securities

Bonds classified as held-to-maturity and other securities (excluding other securities whose consolidated balance sheet amounts are not measured at fair value) are considered as impaired if the fair value decreases materially below the acquisition cost and such decline is not considered as recoverable. The fair value is recognized as the consolidated balance sheet amount and the amount of write-down is accounted for as valuation loss for the fiscal year. Valuation losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022 were ¥8,480 million and ¥4,688 million, respectively. The rule for determining “material decline” is as follows and is based on the classification of issuers under the rules of self-assessment of assets.

 

Bankrupt/Effectively bankrupt/Potentially bankrupt issuers:

  

Fair value is lower than acquisition cost.

Issuers requiring caution:

  

Fair value is 30% or lower than acquisition cost.

Normal issuers:

  

Fair value is 50% or lower than acquisition cost.

Bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are legally bankrupt or formally declared bankrupt.

Effectively bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are not legally bankrupt but regarded as substantially bankrupt.

Potentially bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are not bankrupt now, but are perceived to have a high risk of falling into bankruptcy.

Issuers requiring caution: Issuers that are identified for close monitoring.

Normal issuers: Issuers other than the above 4 categories of issuers.

(Notes to employee retirement benefits)

1. Outline of employee retirement benefits

The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries have funded and unfunded contributory defined benefit pension plans and defined-contribution pension plans for benefit payments to their employees.

Funded contributory defined benefit pension plans mainly consist of contributory funded defined benefit pension plans and lump-sum severance indemnity plans which set up employee retirement benefit trusts.

Unfunded contributory defined benefit pension plans are lump-sum severance indemnity plans which do not use such trust scheme.

Some consolidated subsidiaries adopt the simplified method in calculating the projected benefit obligation. Additional benefits may also be granted when employees retire.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (“the Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Japan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

1.

The reasonableness of management’s assessment of the reserve for possible loan losses for SMBC’s corporate loans

The key audit matter

In the consolidated balance sheet of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of March 31, 2022, the reserve for possible loan losses (the “Reserve”) was ¥590,744 million on loans and bills discounted (the “Loans”) of ¥90,834,056 million (or approximately 35.3% of total assets). Included in such balances were mainly corporate loans and the related reserve of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), a commercial banking subsidiary. As discussed in the “Notes (Additional information)” to the consolidated financial statements, a reserve of ¥75,398 million was recorded for possible loan losses for Russia-related credits.


Table of Contents

As discussed in the “Notes (Significant Accounting Policies for Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements), 4. Accounting policies, (5) Reserve for possible loan losses” to the consolidated financial statements, SMBC assesses all claims including the Loans in accordance with the internal criteria for self-assessment of asset quality, and classifies borrowers into credit categories through examining individual credit risk profiles. On the basis of each borrower category, reserves and/or write-offs are recorded based on the methods including one that uses the historical loan-loss ratios or the probability of default to estimate possible loan losses and a discounted cash flow (DCF) method, in accordance with its internal policy for write-offs and provisions. For claims originated in specific overseas countries, an additional specific overseas reserve is recorded in the amount deemed necessary based on the assessment of political and economic conditions. Additionally, considering the recent economic environment and risk factors, a potential loss amount that was deemed to have incurred in specific portfolios, among others, was recorded in the Reserve at the end of the current fiscal year based on an overall assessment of a probable future outlook for those portfolios that has not been fully captured in the historical data or individual borrower classification.

As discussed in the “Notes (Significant Accounting Estimates)” and the “Notes (Additional information)” to the consolidated financial statements, the assessment of the Reserve for SMBC’s corporate loans involved significant estimation uncertainty, and required significant management judgment primarily in the following aspects:

 

   

classifying borrowers into appropriate credit categories through performing a qualitative assessment, including the use of forward-looking information;

 

   

determining whether additional reserves for specific portfolios are deemed necessary, and selecting appropriate methodologies to estimate such additional reserves based on the future outlook in light of the recent economic environment and risk factors; and

 

   

projecting future cash flow scenarios as an input to the DCF method for borrowers with large claims classified mainly as substandard or lower-level classifications.

In the judgment and estimation of these elements during the current fiscal year, the uncertain business environment arising from the current international situation involving Ukraine and the continuing uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation, in particular, required consideration, which included the assessment, for the purpose of measuring potential losses, of (i) the impact of economic sanctions imposed by governments of each country and the countermeasures taken by the Russian government under the current international situation involving Ukraine, and (ii) the impact of changes in the economic environment and market conditions caused by voluntary restraints and other restrictions on social and economic activities due to COVID-19 considering the effects of government support programs on the trends of bankruptcy cases and other attributes.

We, therefore, determined that management’s assessment of the Reserve for SMBC’s corporate loans, specifically, classifying borrowers into credit categories through a qualitative assessment including the use of forward-looking information, determining whether additional reserves for specific portfolios are deemed necessary based on the future outlook in light of the recent economic environment and risk factors as well as determining appropriate methodologies to estimate such additional reserves, and projecting cash flow scenarios used in the DCF method, was one of the most significant matters in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for this fiscal year, and accordingly, a key audit matter.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The primary procedures we performed to assess the reasonableness of management’s assessment of the Reserve for SMBC’s corporate loans included the following:

 

(1)

Internal control testing

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain of SMBC’s internal controls over its process to assess the Reserve for SMBC’s corporate loans. In this assessment, we focused on the controls that related to the:

 

   

approval of the internal rules for accounting for the Reserve, including the criteria for self-assessment and the policy for write-offs and provisions;

 

   

validation of the obligor grading models;


Table of Contents
   

classification of individual borrowers into credit categories through a qualitative assessment;

 

   

determination of additional reserves for specific portfolios based on the future outlook in light of the recent economic environment and risk factors; and

 

   

projection of future cash flow scenarios used in the DCF method.

 

(2)

Evaluation of the policy for the Reserve and the obligor grading models

We evaluated the policy for the Reserve for SMBC’s corporate loans for compliance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. Additionally, we involved credit risk specialists with industry-specific knowledge and expertise who assisted us in evaluating the appropriateness of the obligor grading models, which provided the basis for borrower classification, through analyzing the consistency of obligor grades with external ratings, and also through a retrospective review of the models’ performance.

 

(3)

Evaluation of borrower classification taking into account qualitative factors

For SMBC’s corporate borrowers that we selected based on certain criteria, we evaluated the appropriateness of borrower classification taking into account qualitative factors through:

 

   

analyzing the borrowers’ current business performance including the sufficiency of liquidity;

 

   

assessing the appropriateness of the borrowers’ business plans used as a basis for management’s borrower classification, by comparing the plans with the industry outlook and the recent performance, and also by analyzing the impact of stressed scenarios considered by management;

 

   

analyzing the impact of economic sanctions imposed by governments of each country and the countermeasures taken by the Russian government on the borrowers’ business performance and liquidity positions, including the assessment of the consistency of the obligor grades with external ratings and the analysis of the current repayment situation; and

 

   

analyzing the forecasts of liquidity position incorporating financial support programs by governments and financial institutions in each country in response to COVID-19 and the borrowers’ business plans.

 

(4)

Evaluation of the reasonableness of additional reserves for specific portfolios based on the future outlook in light of the recent economic environment and risk factors

Given the uncertain business environment arising from the current international situation involving Ukraine and the continuing uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation impacting the economic environment, we evaluated the reasonableness of additional reserves for specific portfolios through:

 

   

analyzing the respective industry environment by referencing the relevant indices and other information published by external agencies;

 

   

assessing the appropriateness of the selection of portfolios subject to additional reserves, through the analysis of the impact of the economic sanctions imposed by governments of each country and the countermeasures taken by the Russian government assuming they are prolonged;

 

   

assessing assumptions used in estimating additional reserves, especially the risks of delinquency and loan modifications related to credit exposure in Russia, through the analysis of the impact of the economic sanctions imposed by governments of each country and the countermeasures taken by the Russian government assuming they are prolonged, including the analysis of the observed trend in the repayment of Russian government and corporates;

 

   

assessing the appropriateness of the selection of portfolios subject to additional reserves in relation to COVID-19, by analyzing the effects of financial support programs by governments and financial institutions in each country on the trends of bankruptcy cases and other attributes, and also by analyzing the observed trends in recent revisions of obligor grades by portfolios;

 

   

assessing the consistency of assumptions used in estimating additional reserves, especially the assumption about the extent of the impact changes in economic environment and market conditions caused by voluntary restraints and other restrictions on social and economic activities have had on each portfolio with the respective industry environment; and


Table of Contents
   

evaluating the appropriateness of the methodologies used to estimate additional reserves considering the nature of and risk factors identified in each portfolio as well as the result of a retrospective review.

 

(5)

Evaluation of future cash flow scenarios used in the DCF method

For borrowers that we selected based on certain criteria among those for which the reserves were calculated using the DCF method, we evaluated the appropriateness of the borrowers’ future cash flow scenarios through:

 

   

assessing the feasibility of the restructuring plans considering the recent economic environment and the prospect of future economic conditions;

 

   

assessing the borrowers’ current progress against the restructuring plans; and

 

   

assessing the borrower’s ability to repay considering the schedule and underlying sources of repayments based on the restructuring plans.

 

2.

Application of impairment accounting for fixed assets in the SMBC Retail Business Unit

The key audit matter

In the consolidated statement of income of the Group for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, losses on impairment of fixed assets of ¥ 108,920 million were recorded. As discussed in the “Notes (Significant Accounting Estimates)” to the consolidated financial statements, ¥ 37,795 million of this amount (tangible fixed assets ¥ 5,118 million, intangible fixed assets ¥ 32,677 million) was related to the business assets attributable to the Retail Business Unit at SMBC (the “SMBC Retail Business Unit”).

In applying impairment accounting for fixed assets, whenever there is an indication of impairment for an asset group, the Group needs to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows that are expected to be generated from the respective asset group with its carrying amount. If it is determined that the recognition of an impairment loss is deemed necessary, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the resulting decrease in the carrying amount is recorded as an impairment loss. The recoverable amount is estimated as the higher of either the net realizable value which is calculated by deducting expected disposal costs from the fair value of the fixed assets or the value in use which is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the continuous use and ultimate disposal of the fixed assets.

 

(1)

Identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit

Since there was an indication of impairment for the SMBC Retail Business Unit in the current fiscal year, it was necessary to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized for its business assets that includes corporate assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit. A management accounting framework was used to identify assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit.

If the identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit was not performed reasonably, there may have been a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

(2)

Estimation of future cash flows

The SMBC Retail Business Unit has incurred continuing losses from operating activities due to the effect of COVID-19 and other factors, and there was an indication of impairment for corporate assets related to the SMBC Retail Business Unit. Therefore, in the current fiscal year, the Group considered whether an impairment loss shall be recognized for the business assets that includes corporate assets related to the SMBC Retail Business Unit, and determined that the recognition of an impairment loss was deemed necessary since the total amount of estimated undiscounted future cash flows was less than the carrying amounts of the assets. In measuring the impairment loss, the net realizable value was used after comparing the value in use calculated as the present value of future cash flows with the net realizable value.


Table of Contents

The future cash flows used to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized and to calculate the recoverable amount for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss were estimated based on the business plan of the SMBC Retail Banking Unit prepared by management, which takes into account the balance of housing loans, as one of the major assumptions. There was a high degree of uncertainty in these estimates, involving subjective management judgment. If the future cash flows were not properly estimated, the determination on whether an impairment loss should be recognized and the measurement of the impairment loss may have been inappropriate, which may have resulted in a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

We, therefore, determined that the application of impairment accounting for fixed assets in the SMBC Retail Business Unit, specifically, the identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit and the estimation of future cash flows, was one of the most significant matters in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for this fiscal year, and accordingly, a key audit matter.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The primary procedures we performed to assess the appropriateness of the application of impairment accounting for fixed assets in the SMBC Retail Business Unit included the following:

 

(1)

Internal control testing

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain of SMBC’s internal controls related to the application of impairment accounting for fixed assets in the SMBC Retail Business Unit. In this assessment, we focused on the controls that related to the:

 

   

approval of the identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit; and

 

   

approval of the determination on whether an impairment loss shall be recognized and the measurement of the impairment loss for fixed assets in the SMBC Retail Business Unit, including the estimation of future cash flows.

 

(2)

Evaluation of the reasonableness of the identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit

We evaluated the reasonableness of the identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit through:

 

   

assessing the reasonableness of the Group’s policy to determine the scope of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit based on the extent of their relevance to the operations and the specific identification method used, by inquiring of the department in charge and reviewing the related approved documents, taking into consideration the method of managing fixed assets at SMBC and the profit and loss management related to the SMBC Retail Business Unit for management reporting purpose; and

 

   

confirming that the identification of assets attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit was appropriately performed based on the Group’s policy and the specific identification method referred to above, by inquiring of the department in charge and reviewing the results of the identification of assets and the supporting documents, taking into consideration the nature and usage of the identified assets.

 

(3)

Evaluation of the reasonableness of the estimation of future cash flows

We evaluated the reasonableness of future cash flows used to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized and to measure the impairment loss in the SMBC Retail Business Unit through:

 

   

assessing the appropriateness of the scope of profit and loss items attributable to the SMBC Retail Business Unit based on their relevance to the operations, by inquiring of the department in charge about the business plan which was the basis for estimating future cash flows, and reviewing the relevant approved documents, with an understanding of the contents and nature of major profit and loss items included in the business plan;


Table of Contents
   

assessing the reasonableness of the estimation underlying the business plan, by inquiring of the department in charge about the business plan, reviewing the related approved documents, and comparing major profit and loss items included in the business plan with actual results, taking into consideration the impact of the business environment surrounding the SMBC Retail Business Unit on the future cash flows; and

 

   

confirming that the market and competitive environment behind key assumptions including the projected balance of housing loans was consistent with our understanding based on external industry reports.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the disclosure documents that contain or accompany the audited financial statements, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

We do not perform any work on the other information as we determine such information does not exist.

Responsibilities of Management and the Audit Committee for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the directors and the corporate executive officers’ performance of their duties with regard to the design, implementation and maintenance of the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the objective of the audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.


Table of Contents
   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate whether the presentation and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Japan, the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

   

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Convenience Translation

The U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the year ended March 31, 2022 are presented solely for convenience. Our audit also included the translation of yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made on the basis described in basis of presentation in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Interest required to be disclosed by the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan

We do not have any interest in the Group which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.
