Since then, the Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company has been revised to be in line with Basel 2.5 and Basel III.

Since its designation as a Final Designated Parent Company in April 2011, NHI has been calculating its consolidated capital adequacy ratio according to the Capital Adequacy Notice on Final Designated Parent Company and, from the end of March 2013, according to a Basel III-based consolidated capital adequacy ratio.

Net inflows of recurring revenue assets are defined and calculated by subtracting the amount of sell-offs and outflows from the amount of purchase and inflows of recurring revenue assets, and is an index used to measure the expansion of recurring revenue assets excluding changes in market value. The definition has been revised retroactively to exclude outflows from investment trust distributions. The figures prior to the 3 months ended June 30, 2024 have been reclassified following this change in definition of net inflows of recurring assets. As a result, the net inflows of recurring revenue assets for the 3 months ended June 30, 2023 has increased from ¥33.9 billion to ¥107.4 billion.
