Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
The airport is taking measures such as increasing smart lane baggage inspection facilities in an effort to combat labor shortages and ongoing expansion in inbound tourism, should lead to further growth in ORIX Group’s earnings
Although there are some seasonal fluctuations, steady growth should allow us to achieve additional expansion on the way to recovery to the 70 billion yen in annual segment profit
Net income came in at 91.1 billion yen, base profits rose in inbound tourism-related businesses, real estate, domestic PE investments and insurance allowing ORIX to post the second highest levels of those base profits and segment profits in the four years since the start of the pandemic
Aircraft leasing, as I mentioned earlier, is enjoying healthy progress
The PE investment achieved a strong profit gains on the back of exits during Q3 and also thanks to profit contributions from DHC, which we invested in the prior fiscal year
Segment profits rose 235% year-on-year to 23 billion yen
In addition, for this year, prioritizing more profitable business during sales activities has yielded results pushing the auto business to its third year in a row of record profits by end of Q3 and the segment is poised to post record profits for the full year again
ORIX achieved its second highest ever quarterly net income since the start of the pandemic in the third quarter of 91.9 billion yen, an increase of 40% to QonQ
The ROE in that chart in annualized net income for each quarter, which improved to 9.7% in the third quarter
In auto, rental car demand remained strong and the prices of what used autos continue to trend at high levels
This is where we have our strengths like lease and also finance related to real estate, this is where we see business opportunities
But at any rate, if it was not for the hedge costs, the investment return for us has been positively contributing to the overall business performance
In addition to a recovery in businesses related to inbound tourism, expansion in investment income in the insurance segment and higher domestic PE earnings contributed to the strong number
ORIX domestic businesses were strong and are on track to meet their full year targets
Meanwhile, benefits from a weaker yen and strong in-bound travel demand have helped our domestic business profit trend above plan
Although dollar-based interest rates are pushing capital costs higher, there is strong demand in the secondary market for aircraft purchases and the three types of fee income these direct revenue gains on the sales of aircraft management fees are all rising
Meanwhile, the credit business saw earnings rise
Lower US dollar interest rates should provide support to expansion in earnings, particularly ORIX USA’s real estate and PE businesses
However, the operating environment is improving and it has been profitable for the two consecutive quarters in Q2 and Q3, even after the hedging costs
Airport concessions returned to the blacking in second quarter, and profits continued to expand in the third quarter
Daikyo profits have grown year-on-year for three consecutive quarters contributing to the segment's sharp increase in profits
Profits were higher in corporate financial services, thanks to solid earnings in fee-related businesses and profit contribution from M&A and into services
We have strengthened risk management from early stage and become very selective with new deals and been running in credit cost despite elevated interest rates, while still enjoying higher financial earnings
In the facilities operations segment, we have endeavored to raise RevPAR by delivering superior services to our customers and maintaining high post-COVID occupancy rates
Premium income, mostly from wholesale -- whole life insurance was also healthy
We believe further profit growth remains possible, as we see room for additional hikes in RevPAR and should benefit from the second block of our new luxury Karaku brand, which opened at end of 2023
Within Japan, segment profits in both the financial and non-financial category businesses were up year-over-year making strong progress vs
Domestic non-financial businesses were helped both inbound-related demand and the real estate segment were strong demand for properties from overseas investors fueled by Yen's weaknesses that the property sells
Moreover, assets in these regions remain healthy
International market in the aircraft and ships remain strong and we aim to continue to grow our earnings through capital recycling
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Segment profits were down 16% year-on-year to 27.8 billion and the primary reason for this was fewer capital gains booked in the PE business
Overseas businesses saw profits for fall owing to the impact of elevated interest rates and outstanding limiting risks considering economic uncertainty
So in order for us to make up for these negative factors, we may have to introduce new products, and also from mutual fund to ETF, in other words, a trend shift, just like it has been the case in United States
And as for the fourth quarter, unfortunately, especially in the renewable energy related there is a seasonal factor, especially during winter the solar power and also Greenko in India, there will be a seasonal negative factor that we would have to experience
Segment profit was down by 38% year-on-year to 19.8 billion yen
While we cannot be overly optimistic owing to the lack of visibility concerning this market, we continue to operate the business with an awareness that it might bottom out quite soon
Segment profits were down 40% year-on-year, 20.7 billion yen
Segment profit fell 5% year-on-year to 16.1 billion yen
And in fiscal year 2024 March end overall interest rates have remained higher and longer than anticipated in Europe and America, and earnings growth overseas has suffered
Well in that case, in the third quarter 101.4 billion the base profit was generated and of course there will be some seasonal factor that you will be experiencing in the fourth quarter, which means that there will be a decline in the profit
Segment profits fell 42% year-on-year to 20.8 billion yen in the prior year and the year before OCE ebooks performance fees of higher than a 10 billion but because of the market situation this shrink, and increase in hedging costs stemming from higher interest rates lead to lower profits
For this reason, it could overshoot our full year target for the category
So well, there was a question from Otsuka san as well, so these overseas segments, vis-à-vis our target and the progress that we have made so far, so there seems to be a difficulty in achieving our full year target at this point in time
Euro denominated funding cost, in other words, fortunately, is that dragger, it is a negative aspect
At Avolon, highest total interest rates have been a drag and the business was loss making on a cumulative basis in the nine months
Now, the overseas segments, so profits declined, owing to an absence of investing games booked on the sale of a [Indiscernible] in the environment and energy segments in the previous fiscal year, and higher Euro intersect
And in terms of private equity or equity investment, mid-cap corporate will continue to struggle in terms of performance
And in terms of credit, the market is not really improving, it is actually worsening
And the profits from overseas energy business were year-on-year owing to the absence of earlier gains and the higher hedging costs of overseas investments as a result of elevated Euro interest rates
Origination environment, we'll have to recover a little bit more until we strengthen our efforts again
