Sales results of new policies of all three life insurance companies progressed smoothly against the plan.

Page 5 shows you the breakdown of group adjusted profit and difference from net income. Please turn to the next page. This page shows the key performance indicators of the three life insurance companies. The three life insurance companies saw an increase in their core profits. Tile Life and Ditalife recorded capital gains on sale of domestic and foreign equities. Meanwhile, Tile Life recorded mainly losses on sales associated with the reduction of its foreign bond holdings. Ditalife posted losses on sale of bonds mainly due to replacement as part of its cash flow matching strategy. T&D Financial Life recorded a profit increase mainly due to an improved insurance margins resulting from growths in policies and floors. Please turn to the next page. The charts describe factors contributing to changing in core profit. For both Tile Life and Dital Life, decreased currency hedge costs and increased interest-divided income contributed to an increase in core profit. This effect was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Please turn to the next page. Average assumed investment deals of Tidal Life and Didal Life were 1.35% and 1.21% respectively. Please turn to the next page. T&D United Capital's adjusted profit decreased by 5 billion yen year-on-year to 5.4 billion yen. Please turn to the next page. This page describes the quarterly trends in the profit and loss of closed-book business. In its consolidated results for the third quarter, the company recorded approximately 8.9 billion yen as adjusted profit, equity and gains and losses of affiliate related to Fortitude Re's financial results for the third quarter, July to September. The adjusted profit related to Fortitude's fourth quarter, October to December, earning is under calculation. Please turn to the next page. Fritian's first quarter results, October through December, will be incorporated into the company's Q4 financial results. In our consolidated financial results, profit and loss based on IFRS will be recognized for financial accounting purposes, while for group adjusted profit and loss equivalent to Luxembourg GAAP will be included. Due to the acquisition of Iridium, 75 billion yen of goodwill was recognized under financial accounting. However, as an amortization of goodwill is excluded from the group adjusted profit, it has no impact on the adjusted profit. Next page, please. At Tire Life, annualized premiums of new protection type policies remained at the same level as the same period of the previous year. While surrender lapse rate increased mainly due to increased surrender lapse in the agency channel, annualized premiums of enforced protection type policies increased from the end of the previous fiscal year. Please turn to the next page.

New policy amounts at Dido Life continue to be strong and achieve the year-on-year growth. Surrender and lapse rate was broadly in line with the same period last year, and policy amounting force increased from the end of the previous fiscal year. Please turn to the next page. Annualized premiums of new policies at T&D Financial Life declined year-on-year, mainly due to the lower sales of foreign currency-linked products. In addition, the surrender and lapse rate declined due to a decrease in policies reaching their target values for foreign currency-linked products, resulting in an increase in annualized payments of policies enforced compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. Next page, please. Group MCEP increased by 451.7 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 4,397.4 billion, driven by the accumulation of new business value, the rise in domestic foreign stock prices, and the adoption of LDTI at 42.3%. The combined new business value of the three life companies increased by 5.3 billion yen year-on-year to 144.3 billion, mainly due to higher new policy amount and rising domestic interest rates. The new business margin was 9.3%. A breakdown of MCEP by company is provided on page 16. The factors impacting the group MCEP is on page 17. Next page, please. This page shows you the status of investments at Tayo and Daido Life. The combined amount of domestic and foreign equity sales by the two companies was approximately 209 billion yen, exceeding the full-year sales plan of 180 billion that was set at the beginning of the fiscal year. We intend to continue making progress on sales in the fourth quarter as well. Dido Life's interest rate matching ratio reached 86.4%, and for Tayo Life, it reached 96.6%. Page 19 shows you the status of foreign currency denominated bonds. Please turn to page 22. This page is the status of net valuation gains and losses on general account assets.

As of the end of December 2025, the ratio of strategic equity holdings to net assets stood at 19%, reflecting an increase in the market value of the holdings. The ratio of strategic shareholdings to net assets, adjusting for roughly 100 billion already agreed for sale, is around 13%. We'll continue to work on reducing strategic shareholdings to zero by the end of March 2031, setting aside those for business partners and collaborators. Please turn to the next page. Sale of stock free classified from strategic shareholding superior investment is in process as part of an effort to reduce equity risks.

We would now like to move on to the Q&A session. We would like to introduce the first question from SMBC Legal Securities, Mr. Muraki. So this is Muraki from SMBC Nickel Securities. I'd like to pose two questions. The first question relates to page four of the materials. The progress rate is 84%, slightly high as of this moment. If you can give us an update on the four-year forecast. So I'm pretty sure you have some loss in the sales of JGP and also gains from the sales of equities in Q4. So what are your assumptions right now? That is the first question. Mr. Muraki, thank you very much for the question. I would like to answer that question. So in terms of the performance up until Q3, it has been quite brisk vis-à-vis the four-year guidance. So the group adjusted profit of 146 billion yen. We are confident that we can achieve this. However, there are certain factors we'd like to confirm as of this moment. The first point relates to fortitude and viridium. So the Q4 results have not been closed right now. So we'd like to confirm the results for Q4. And next is for Taiyo and Daidou. So in order to improve the investment portfolio, we are selling the equities and conducting the bond replacement for the asset liability cash flow matching. So we'd like to see the progress. because in terms of the loss from the sales and also the gains from the sales will be impacted by the market, so we like to assess this correctly. So, of course, in terms of bond replacement, that will contribute to reduction in the interest rate risk and also an enhancement of the portfolio yield, but as of the current interest rate level, we will incur some loss from the sales. So in terms of group adjusted profit of $146 billion, it is not likely that we may see a significant upside given the current situation. To summarize, we like to confirm the Q4 results for Fortitude and Viridian, and also we like to see the progress of the sales of the equities and bond. So within the fiscal year, we like to have a highly probable forecast and try to assess whether revision is necessary. And if it's necessary, we like to disclose that at the earliest phase possible. That is all. Thank you very much for that. And the second question relates to page 12 about titleized surrender. So the third quarter appears to be high. So in comparison to the initial assumption, How do you assess the current state of surrender? Also, what sort of impact would it pose on EV at the end of the fiscal year? If you have the calculation, please let us know. Thank you for that question. In terms of title surrender, we've seen an increase in the Bank Assurance OTC channel. It was the rate hike, but the surrender is actually increasing more so than initially anticipated. Now, in terms of the surrender, So we've actually conducted some risk transfer with the CD. So the risk on the financial basis, the risk is limited. But in terms of EV, if you look at page 17, we have as one of the various factors. So the variance between assumptions and results, you can see the number here, 33.1 billion yen. And TAIO accounts for minus 17 billion yen or so. So in terms of the assumptions, we intend to update and review that at the end of this fiscal term. But in terms of its magnitude, we haven't conducted the calculation yet, so we don't know that. But on the three-quarter cumulative basis, it's 17 billion yen. And this product has been on sales for three years up until the year 2022. So that should give you some idea. Now, in terms of the investment, given the current state of surrender and also the anticipation of the interest rate hike as a way to conduct ALM on a forward-looking basis, we have been shortening the duration on the asset side. Specifically, we are selling the 10-year or longer bond sales and replacing those with short-term bonds or cash. So, basically, that is how we are addressing the surrender situation. That is all. Very well understood. Thank you very much.
