Full-year business segment results

Total net revenue from business segments declined 0.2% from the prior year to 1.0577 trillion yen (US $9.0 billion), while income before income taxes decreased 16.5% to 377.3 billion yen (US $3.2 billion).

Domestic Retail

Although a decline in equity agency transaction value led to a drop in stock brokerage commissions compared to last year, commissions for distribution of investment trusts and investment trust administration fees and other increased. As a result, revenue remained strong in Domestic Retail at roughly the same level as last year. An increase in non-interest expenses due to investment in opening new branch offices, hiring additional financial advisors, and expanding call centers led to an 18.4% year-on-year decline in income before income taxes to 160.9 billion yen. Domestic Client Assets3 increased by 4.7 trillion yen from the prior year to 85.2 trillion yen.

Global Markets

Trading was weak during the first half of the year due to changes in the interest rate and currency market environments. Although revenue from interest rate and currency-linked structured bond order flow and equity derivatives was strong during the second half of the year, income before income taxes declined 62.7% year-on-year to 58.8 billion yen due to a downturn in the US subprime loan market.

Global Investment Banking

In Global Investment Banking, income before income taxes declined 13.8% from the prior year to 44.4 billion yen. During the year Nomura acted as lead manager in a number of large transactions such as sales of shares held by the Banks’ Shareholdings Purchase Corporation, a public offering by Aeon, a domestic convertible bond issue by Sharp, and a Euroyen convertible bond issue by Toray Industries, leading to an increase in equity underwriting fees. In the solutions businesses, Nomura worked on a large MPO for Sojitz, and in M&A acted as financial advisor on the management integration of Daimaru and Matsuzakaya Holdings, and the capital and business alliance between Aeon and Daiei. Internationally, Nomura acted as joint bookrunner on a global offering by Infosys Technologies.

Global Merchant Banking

Global Merchant Banking income before income taxes declined 4.7% from the prior year to 52.8 billion yen. Nomura invested in the tender offers for Skylark and Tsubaki Nakashima, and booked realized and unrealized gains from the sale of a part of its stake in Tungaloy and the sale of a stake in a Terra Firm investee company.

Asset Management

In Asset Management, income before income taxes jumped 76.8% year-on-year to 36.5 billion yen. Assets under management in Asset Management totaled 27 trillion yen as of March 31, 2007, an increase of 3.9 trillion yen compared to the prior year. This increase comes as Nomura expanded its product lineup with new products such as the Asia Attractive Dividend Fund and Nomura All-In-One Fund, adding to existing funds offering frequent distribution such as the My Story Profit Distribution-type Fund. Nomura also focused on further diversifying its sales channels beyond Nomura Securities to include Japan Post, megabanks, and regional financial institutions. Assets in funds for bank customers increased by 962 billion yen from last year to 1.75 trillion yen. The Nomura 6 Assets Diversified Fund distributed through Japan Post had assets of 425.1 billion yen as of the end of March, representing a market share of 60.1% of funds sold through Japan Post.

Fourth quarter business segment results

Domestic Retail

Net revenue was 124.1 billion yen, an increase of 7.1% quarter-on-quarter, and roughly flat year-on-year. However, income before income taxes declined 7.6% from the prior quarter and 15.8% year-on-year to 43.3 billion yen due to an increase in non-interest expenses from investing in personnel and technology systems. Domestic Client Assets stood at 85.2 trillion yen as of March 31, 2007, an increase of 3.7 trillion yen compared to the end of the previous quarter. The number of client accounts with an outstanding balance was 3,953,000, an increase of 53,000 accounts from the end of December.

Commissions for distribution of investment trusts increased 16% from the prior quarter to 39.1 billion yen, a record level for the second straight quarter as sales of funds offering frequent distributions and newly-launched funds remained strong. Retail stock brokerage commissions increased 28.1% from the third quarter to 28.9 billion yen, supported by an increase in equity agency transaction value.

Global Markets

Global Markets net revenue increased 21.2% quarter-on-quarter and declined 26.4% year-on-year to 94.6 billion yen. Income before income taxes decreased 0.8% quarter-on-quarter and 63.7% year-on-year to 23.9 billion yen. In Fixed Income, although order flow for interest rate and currency-linked structured bonds was firm, net revenue declined 58% from the prior quarter to 21.8 billion yen due to the impact of the deterioration in the US subprime loan market. In Equity, net revenue increased 186% quarter-on-quarter to 66.6 billion yen on the back of a rebound in trading revenue from MPO transactions and equity derivatives. In addition, Instinet was consolidated in February and results are reflected in Equity.

Global Investment Banking

In Global Investment Banking, net revenue totaled 26.6 billion yen, a 10.4% quarter-on-quarter increase, and 14.6% year-on-year decline. Income before income taxes increased 6.5% quarter-on-quarter to 11.6 billion yen, a decrease of 31.5% year-on-year. During the year Nomura acted as lead manager in a number of large deals including offerings of shares in Honda Motor and Nintendo by the Banks’ Shareholdings Purchase Corporation, and a Euroyen convertible bond issue by Toray Industries. Nomura also ranked number one in the Equity and Equity-related (Japan) league table5 for fiscal 2006, the sixth straight year in the top position.

In M&A, Nomura acted as financial advisor in such deals as the management integration of Daimaru and Matsuzakaya Holdings, the capital and business alliance between Marubeni, Aeon, and Daiei, and the merger of Mitsubishi Pharma and Tanabe Seiyaku.

Global Merchant Banking

Global Merchant Banking net revenue was minus 900 million yen as there were no major exits during the fourth quarter. Income before income taxes was minus 5.2 billion yen. In terms of new investments, Nomura made an equity investment of around 30 billion yen in the tender offer for Tsubaki Nakashima via a special purpose vehicle.

Asset Management

Asset Management net revenue was 24.1 billion yen, a 1.9% quarter-on-quarter decline and a rise of 30.5% year-on-year. Income before income taxes decreased 34.2% quarter-on-quarter due to expenses related to the consolidation of offices at the headquarters during the quarter, but increased 39.6% from the prior year to 8 billion yen. Assets under management reached a record 27 trillion yen as of the end of March, up 1.4 trillion yen from the end of December 2006. The increase is the result of continued strong sales of investment trusts, in particular funds offering frequent distributions sold through Nomura Securities, banks, and Japan Post. Further, a Nomura Asset Management product was chosen by Japan Post for distribution as a target fund.

Other

Other income before income taxes was minus 500 million yen. The US alternative asset manager Fortress Investment Group, in which we announced an investment in December 2006 and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in February 2007, is accounted for under the equity method according to US GAAP.

* In January 2006, certain functions of Other businesses were integrated to Asset Management. Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current presentation.

In Domestic Retail, income before income taxes decreased 18.4% from last year to 160.9 billion yen.

Although a decline in equity agency transaction value led to a drop in stock brokerage commissions compared to last year, robust sales of existing funds offering frequent distributions and newly established investment trusts resulted in an increase in commissions for distribution of investment trusts and investment trust administration fees and other. As such, revenue remained strong around the same level as last year. However, in view of our growing client base and further expansion of the pool of investors in Japan, we increased our headcount, opened new branches, expanded our call centers, and built up our IT infrastructure. These investments led to an increase in non-interest expenses.

In Global Markets, income before income taxes declined 62.7% from the prior year to 58.8 billion yen. In spite of a rebound in order flow for interest rate and currency-linked structured bonds during the second half of the year, Fixed Income saw a decline in revenue as a result of weak trading due to changes in the interest rate and currency market environments. In Equity, although MPO transactions and equity derivative trading turned up during the fourth quarter, trading revenue declined as equity market volatility remained low until the third quarter.

In Global Investment Banking, income before income taxes decreased by 13.8% compared to the previous year to 44.4 billion yen. Revenue was strong around the same level as last year as equity underwriting increased markedly during the year, M&A related businesses remained firm, and business in Europe expanded following a strategic build up. However, income before income taxes declined as a result of higher expenses due mainly to an increase in headcount in our international operations. In equity underwriting we acted as lead manager on large transactions for Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Toyota Motor, Aeon, Sharp, and Nomura Real Estate Holdings. We ranked number one in the Japan Equity and Equity-related league table1 for the sixth straight fiscal year. In our solutions business, we conducted an MPO for Sojitz and in M&A we acted as financial advisor on the MBO of Skylark and management integration of Daimaru and Matsuzakaya Holdings. In international deals, we acted as joint bookrunner for the IPO of Sistema Hals, a leading Russian property development company, and global offering by Infosys Technologies, a major Indian IT company.

In Global Merchant Banking, income before income taxes declined 4.7% compared to the previous year to 52.8 billion yen. During the year, we invested in Skylark and Mitsui Life Insurance while also actively exiting from other investments. This resulted in a continued high level of revenue. We booked realized and unrealized gains from the sale of a part of our stake in Tungaloy, a Nomura Principal Finance

investee company, and the partial sale of Terra Firma investee companies.

In Asset Management, income before income taxes increased 76.8% from the prior year to 36.5 billion yen, up for the third consecutive year. As investment trusts become increasingly popular in Japan, assets under management in publicly offered investment trusts reached a record level. Sales of existing funds such as the My Story Profit Distribution-type Fund remained strong, while newly launched funds such as the Asia Attractive Dividend Stock Fund and Nomura All-In-One Fund also sold well. The expansion of our investment trust business is the result of expanding our product lineup to meet the increasingly diverse asset management needs of our customers and diversifying our sales channels by strengthening our approach to Nomura Securities, Japan Post, and banks and trust banks nationwide. Our investment advisory business also performed strongly driven mainly by demand from outside Japan. As a result, assets under management totaled 27 trillion yen as of March 31, 2007, an increase of 3.9 trillion yen from March 2006. In addition, we booked a gain on the sale of our stake in a joint venture during the second quarter of the year ended March 31, 2007.

Other income before income taxes was 23.9 billion yen. Total income before income taxes for all business segments decreased 16.5% from the prior year to 377.3 billion yen.

Further, Nomura Real Estate Holdings (NREH), a subsidiary of Nomura Land and Building (NLB) which is in turn an equity method affiliate of Nomura, completed an initial public offering and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. NLB recognized a gain on the partial sale of its stake in NREH and a gain on the increase of its remaining share. This effect was booked by Nomura from NLB under the equity method.

Total assets as of March 31, 2007, were 35.9 trillion yen, an increase of 0.8 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2006, reflecting an increase in loans and receivables, collateralized agreements, and other assets. Total liabilities as of March 31, 2007, were 33.7 trillion yen, an increase of 0.7 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2006, due to an increase in collateralized financing and borrowings. Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2007, was 2.2 trillion yen, an increase of 0.1 trillion yen compared to March 31, 2006, due to an increase in retained earnings.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2007, decreased by 581.9 billion yen compared to March 31, 2006. Net cash used in operating activities amounted to 1,627.2 billion yen due to an increase of trading-related balances (net of trading related assets and liabilities). Trading-related balances consist of trading assets and private equity investments, collateralized agreements, trading liabilities, collateralized financing and receivables and payables arising from unsettled trades (included in receivables or payables). Net cash used in investing activities was 533.8 billion yen, due to the purchase of office buildings, land, equipment and facilities, and an increase of other investments (included business acquisition, investment in affiliated companies). Net cash provided by financing activities was 1,568.7 billion yen as a result of an increase in borrowings.

For the second consecutive quarter, commissions for distribution of investment trusts were a record high since we began reporting earnings on a quarterly basis under US GAAP in the fiscal year ended March 2002, while investment trust administration fees and other also increased. This was the result of strong sales of existing investment trusts offering frequent distributions as well as newly launched funds. Retail stock brokerage commissions also increased, supported by an increase in equity agency transaction value.

Domestic Client Assets2 totaled 85.2 trillion yen as of March 31, 2007, a 3.7 trillion yen increase from the end of December 2006.

In Fixed Income, although order flow for interest rate and currency-linked structured bonds was firm, net revenue declined due to the impact of the deterioration in the US subprime loan market. In Equity, net revenue increased on the back of a rebound in trading revenue from MPO transactions and equity derivatives.

Net revenue decreased 1.9% from the previous quarter to 24.1 billion yen, while non-interest expenses increased 29.8% to 16.1 billion yen. Income before income taxes declined 34.2% to 8 billion yen.

The gradual expansion of assets under management led to an increase in asset management fees. However, net revenue declined from the prior quarter as performance fees booked at the end of the calendar year were not present this quarter and the unrealized gain on seed money used to develop new products decreased due to the global drop in stock prices that occurred during the quarter. Non-interest expenses increased due to expenses related to the consolidation of offices at the headquarters during the quarter, also leading to the decline in income before income taxes.

Robust sales of investment trusts through Nomura Securities, banks and trust banks nationwide, and Japan Post and strong inflow of new funds offset a drop in asset prices to ensure a high level of revenue was maintained. In addition, a Nomura Asset Management product was chosen by Japan Post for distribution as its new target fund.

Nomura’s Capital Management

Capital Management Policy

Nomura seeks to enhance shareholder value by capturing business opportunities as they develop. To achieve this goal, Nomura maintains sufficient capital to support its business. Nomura reviews its sufficiency of capital as appropriate, taking into consideration economic risks inherent in its businesses, regulatory requirements, and maintenance of a sufficient debt rating for a global financial institution.

Dividend

In regard to cash dividends, Nomura first decides target dividend amounts, minimum level of cash dividend, taking into account the firm’s dividend-on-equity ratio (DOE) of about 3%. When Nomura achieves a sufficient level of profit, it will decide the amount of the year-end cash dividend taking into consideration a pay-out ratio of over 30%. Nomura seeks to ensure sustainable growth of its target dividend in the medium to long term. As for retained profits, Nomura intends to invest in business areas where high profitability and growth may reasonably be expected, including development and expansion of infrastructure, to maximize value for shareholders.

Stock Repurchase

Nomura repurchases shares when it recognizes the need to set out flexible financial strategies that allow the Board to respond quickly to changes in the business environment. When Nomura decides to set up a share buyback program, the firm will announce the decision soon after it is made and purchase the shares following internal guidelines.

The annual dividend for the current fiscal year is 44 yen per share, in line with Nomura’s capital management policy.

Nomura provides investment, financing and services in the capital markets on a global basis. In the global capital markets there exist uncertainties due to, but not limited to, economic and market conditions. Nomura, therefore, does not present earnings forecasts and dividend forecasts.

Corporate Goals and Principles

Management Policy

The vision of Nomura Group (Nomura Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated domestic and foreign subsidiaries, excluding its private investee companies) is to be a globally competitive Japanese financial services group. We have set a management target of achieving an average consolidated ROE of between 10% and 15% over the medium to long term.

In order to achieve this vision, our basic principle is to put our clients’ interests first and to contribute towards the creation of an affluent society, with an emphasis on investment. We will pay close attention to our clients’ needs to provide them with high-value-added solutions and superior service for all forms of investment. We will expand our business portfolio beyond the bounds of the traditional securities business to branch out into new areas of business, and we aim to diversify our sources of revenue to achieve a strong earnings platform capable of withstanding changing market environments. Moreover, we will promote compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and ensure proper corporate behavior.

Structure of Business Operations

In executing our business strategy, Nomura Group focuses on globally-linked business divisions, rather than individual legal entities. Nomura Group’s business divisions are comprised of Domestic Retail, Global Markets, Global Investment Banking, Global Merchant Banking and Asset Management. We will strive to achieve a higher level of specialization in each division, advance and grow our business in each respective area, and by enhancing collaboration between business divisions, we will maximize the collective strength of Nomura Group.

Current Challenges

Current business environment

The Japanese economy is expanding moderately as private demand, especially in the corporate sector, continues to maintain an upward trend and corporate performance continues to show strong momentum.

As the global economy continues to expand on the back of regional growth, the US economy remains in a downtrend as a result of an ongoing adjustment in the housing market. However, expectations for a soft landing of the US economy are increasing as private consumption remains firm and US interest rates remain stable.

In this economic environment, Japanese companies are pursuing growth. Strong capital investment activity, investment in mergers and acquisitions, and corporate finance to support these corporate actions are increasing.

Regarding personal financial assets, backed by changes in the social structure as a result of the retirement of baby boomers and further deregulation, the ongoing shift from savings to investment has continued to accelerate, even after the lifting the zero interest rate policy in July 2006.

Table of Contents

Expansion of investments for growth by companies and acceleration of the shift from savings to investment of domestic financial assets are two major trends in the domestic financial and capital markets. We believe that our efforts to carry out our duties as a financial services company are becoming increasingly important, and at the same time business opportunities are expanding for us.

There are three major trends in the structural changes of the global financial system.

First, private equity funds and hedge funds are increasing their presence as a supplier of risk money. Traditionally, commercial banks played a dominant role in credit creation. Recently, however, these funds have become key players in the credit creation process. Moreover, providing these funds with high leveraged finance by using financial technologies has become a fundamental business for investment banks and universal banks.

Second, the securitization of balance-sheet assets of financial institutions is increasing. Commercial banks in Europe and the US are concentrating more on increasing the securitization of balance-sheet assets, rather than pursuing scale. As a result, business related to the securitization of assets and credit derivatives to transfer credit risks are gaining momentum. The development of derivatives in recent years is a result of increasing securitization of balance-sheet assets of financial institutions.

Third, the rise of emerging markets. In particular, significant economic development in Asia has attracted the interest of global investors and corporate managers, and the increase of investment flow in Asia is triggering significant changes in the global financial system.

These changes in the domestic and global environment are important opportunities for us to expand our businesses and we will continue to focus on the needs of our clients to see this through.

Challenges and Strategy

Nomura Group, aligned with its management vision to deliver superior services and solutions for all forms of investment, aims to grow by expanding its businesses as a group.

The strategies of each business division are as follows:

In Domestic Retail, we aim to shift personal financial assets away from bank savings to the securities markets, expanding and strengthening our client base. For that purpose, we will promptly offer products and services that meet our clients’ needs by expanding client access channels, which include branch offices, call services and online services. We will also continue our efforts to provide education to investors in order to expand the overall investor universe towards the securities market.

In Global Markets, we provide high value-added products and solutions, through the application of financial techniques such as securitization and derivatives, and provide liquidity to financial instruments such as interest rates, foreign exchange, credit, equity and real estate related products.

In Global Investment Banking, we will expand our M&A advisory and corporate financing businesses by providing high value-added solutions in line with each client’s individual needs. We will also use our domestic and international networks to build up a solid presence in Asia and further expand our global operations.

In Global Merchant Banking, we work closely with other business divisions in the group to maximize the value of our investments by improving the enterprise value of companies we invest in.

In Asset Management, we will continue to maintain a structure which can continuously add value by concentrating our operations, enhancing research capabilities and improving our analysis. We also aim to increase assets under management by diversifying the investment opportunities we can offer and expanding our sales channels. In the defined contribution pension plan business, we will increase Nomura Group’s client base by offering integrated services that run from consulting for plan implementation to offering individual products.

Unique strategic approach to international operations

In international operations, we will continue to implement different business strategies that reflect the different characteristics of each region. In Europe, we will concentrate on strengthening the development and supply of high value-added products and in the US we will continue to move forward with our strategy to focus on our core competencies. In Asia, a region with significant business potential, we will use our financial technology and global distribution network and implement different business strategies that reflect the different characteristics of each country in Asia.

Development of new areas of business

Nomura Group will continue to expand into new areas of business. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we have gained an electronic trading platform within Nomura Group with the completion of the acquisition of Instinet. We will use M&A as an option to expand our business, if we can be confident about the synergy and effectiveness to provide business that is focused on the needs of our clients.

Also, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we expanded into other new areas of business, such as with the commencement of an online securities business in Joinvest Securities and the commencement of a loan business in Nomura Capital Investment. We aim to expand Nomura Group’s business and intend to build on this momentum.

In addressing the above challenges and strategy, we will bring together the collective strengths of our domestic and international operations to expand and develop Japan’s financial and capital markets, while also increasing profitability across Nomura Group to achieve our management targets and maximize shareholder value.
