Consolidated Financial Results

April 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014

January 29, 2015

In preparing its consolidated financial information, ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries have complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These documents may contain forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial results that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company believes that it will be considered a “passive foreign investment company” for United States Federal income tax purposes in the year to which these consolidated financial results relate and for the foreseeable future by reason of the composition of its assets and the nature of its income. A U.S. holder of the shares or ADSs of the Company is therefore subject to special rules generally intended to eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. Federal income tax that a holder could derive from investing in a foreign corporation that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. Investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to such rules, which are summarized in the Company’s annual report.

Economic Environment

In the United States, with recovery in consumer spending and improvement in the job market, quantitative easing program has ended, and the uncertainty now centers on the timing of the Fed’s interest rate increases. Meanwhile, with new monetary easing measures being introduced in Japan and Europe, we are seeing dissimilarities among the monetary policies adopted by different countries.

In Japan, capital expenditures are recovering and companies that benefit from weaker yen are achieving record profits. Meanwhile, consumer spending is losing momentum following the consumption tax hike that went into effect in April 2014, and there are concerns that the recent negative GDP growth rate result may linger. Furthermore, with impacts of the Chinese economy slowing down and the sharp decline in oil prices, economic environments both inside and outside of Japan continue to exhibit signs of instability and imbalance.

Overview of Business Performance (April 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014)

Total revenues for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 (hereinafter, “the third consolidated period”) increased 68% to ¥1,574,020 million compared to ¥938,886 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year. In addition to an increase in operating leases revenues, which resulted principally from expansion in the domestic auto leasing business, life insurance premiums and related investment income also increased as a result of the recognition of investment income from underlying investments related to variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts in connection with the consolidation of Hartford Life Insurance K.K. (hereinafter, “HLIKK”), which we acquired on July 1, 2014. In addition, services income increased due to contributions from Robeco Groep N.V. (hereinafter, “Robeco”), which was acquired on July 1, 2013, and from other newly acquired and consolidated subsidiaries acquired as part of our private equity investments, as well as expansion in the environment and energy-related business. Sales of goods and real estate increased primarily due to contributions from newly acquired and consolidated subsidiaries and DAIKYO INCORPORATED (hereinafter, “DAIKYO”) which became a consolidated subsidiary on February 27, 2014. Furthermore, gains on investment securities and dividends increased due to the sale of shares of Monex Group Inc. On the other hand, finance revenues decreased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to reduced gains from sales of installment loans and decreased yield in the installment loan business.

Total expenses increased 75% to ¥1,362,855 million compared to ¥779,544 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year. In line with the abovementioned revenue increases, costs of operating leases, life insurance costs, costs of goods and real estate sold and services expense also increased. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased due in part to an increase in the number of consolidated subsidiaries and strong performance of fee business in the United States. Meanwhile, interest expense decreased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in funding costs.

Gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation losses, net increased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year primarily due to the recognition of a gain on sale of partial shares of STX Energy Co., Ltd. (presently GS E&R Corp., hereinafter, “STX Energy”), which as a result of the sale became an equity method affiliate from a consolidated subsidiary. In addition, the HLIKK consolidation resulted in a bargain purchase gain in an amount representing the excess of fair value of the net assets acquired over the fair value of the consideration transferred.

- 2 -

As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes and discontinued operations for the third consolidated period increased 57% to ¥281,667 million compared to ¥179,111 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year, and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders increased 58% to ¥186,724 million compared to ¥118,177 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Starting from the third consolidated period, we have made changes in line items presented in the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of income. These changes aim to reflect fairly the changing revenues structure of the company, namely the increasing proportion of revenues from non-finance business, which has resulted from continued diversification in our business activities and also an increase in the number of consolidated subsidiaries acquired in recent years. For instance, in the consolidated statements of income, revenues from transactions previously classified under “other operating revenues” and “revenues from asset management and servicing” have been reclassified into “services income,” a new line item that reflects the actual business transaction more accurately. In the consolidated balance sheets, while there are no major changes, “other operating assets” has been changed to “property under facility operations.” The consolidated financial statements in the previous fiscal year have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these changes.

Going forward, considering the expected further growth of our non-finance business and further expansion of our investments both in Japan and abroad, we have decided to implement the aforementioned changes in certain line items presented in the consolidated financial statements beginning from the third consolidated period in order to increase usefulness of the consolidated financial statements for users. For details of the changes made to the consolidated financial statements, refer to the note in page 11.

Segment Information

Total segment profits for the third consolidated period increased 50% to ¥279,315 million compared to ¥185,824 million during the same period of the previous fiscal year. The Retail, Overseas Business, and Real Estate segments made significant profit contributions and the Maintenance Leasing and the Corporate Financial Services segments also displayed strong performance, while profits from the Investment and Operation segment decreased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Historically, when presenting operating results by segments, revenues from inter-segment transactions have not been included in the revenues of each segment. However, in line with the aforementioned changes in line items presented in the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of income, beginning from the third consolidated period we have decided to include revenues from inter-segment transactions into the revenues of each segment. Same changes have been made to the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 retrospectively. Such revenues are insignificant in amount for all periods presented.

Segment information for the third consolidated period is as follows:

Corporate Financial Services Segment: Lending, leasing and fee business


		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2013		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Profits	(millions of yen)		17,974		18,661		687		4	%

		As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Assets	(millions of yen)		992,078		1,083,163		91,085		9	%

In Japan, despite the negative impact on consumer spending and housing investment from the consumption tax hike that went into effect in April 2014, capital expenditures are expected to increase due to continued improvement in corporate revenues. We are also seeing an increase in lending by financial institutions to small and medium enterprises (hereinafter, “SMEs”) in addition to large corporations, while the competition in the lending business continues to intensify.

While finance revenues decreased due to decreased average installment loan balances, the contribution from services income increased due primarily to robust fee business including solar panel and life insurance sales to domestic SMEs. As a result, segment profits increased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

- 3 -

Segment assets increased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due primarily to the inclusion of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded following the consolidation of Yayoi Co., Ltd., which we acquired on December 22, 2014, despite a decrease in investment in direct financing leases and installment loans.

Maintenance Leasing Segment: Automobile leasing and rentals, car sharing and precision measuring equipment and IT-related equipment rentals and leasing


		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2013		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Profits	(millions of yen)		30,261		31,578		1,317		4	%

		As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Assets	(millions of yen)		622,009		675,839		53,830		9	%

The Japanese automobile leasing industry has been experiencing steady recovery in the number of new auto leases in line with Japan’s gradual economic recovery, despite the temporary negative impact of the consumption tax hike that went into effect in April 2014.

Operating leases revenues and finance revenues increased in line with the steady expansion of assets in the auto-business, and costs of operating leases and selling, general and administrative expenses increased in line with such increase in revenues. Segment profits increased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year with an increase in profits driven by asset growth.

Segment assets increased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to steady increases in investment in operating leases and investment in direct financing leases primarily in the auto-business.

Real Estate Segment: Real estate development, rental and financing; facility operation; REIT asset management; and real estate investment and advisory services


		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2013		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2014		Change			Year on Year Change
Segment Profits	(millions of yen)		15,748		22,481		6,733			43	%

		As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2014		Change			Year on Year Change
Segment Assets	(millions of yen)		962,404		877,763		(84,641	)		(9	%)

Office rents and vacancy rates in the Japanese office building market are continuing to show signs of improvement. In the J-REIT market, property acquisitions are increasing, and we are also seeing sales of large-scale real estate and rising sales prices due to increased competition among buyers. Furthermore, large-scale real estate transactions by foreign investors are increasing.

Rental revenues, which are included in operating leases revenues and finance revenues decreased due to a decrease in asset balance. On the other hand, gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, which are included in operating leases revenues, increased. Segment profits increased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in services income primarily due to solid performance by the facility operation business and increased fees from asset management.

Segment assets decreased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year primarily as a result of sales of rental properties.

Investment and Operation Segment: Environment and energy-related business, principal investment, and loan servicing (asset recovery)


		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2013		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2014		Change			Year on Year Change
Segment Profits	(millions of yen)		29,855		25,239		(4,616	)		(15	%)

		As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2014		Change			Year on Year Change
Segment Assets	(millions of yen)		565,740		604,856		39,116			7	%

In the Japanese environment and energy-related business, even though the government is reassessing the renewable energy purchase program, the significance of renewable energy in the mid-long term is on the rise, with investment targets expanding beyond solar power generation projects to include wind and geothermal power generation projects. In the capital markets, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 marked the fourth consecutive year of increase in the number of initial public offerings. This favorable capital markets environment is continuing into this fiscal year.

Segment profits decreased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in profit contribution from the loan servicing business and from DAIKYO. This decrease offsets increases in services income and sales of goods and real estate, both resulted from solid profit contributions from the newly acquired subsidiaries, the environment and energy-related business, and consolidation of DAIKYO.

Segment assets increased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in assets contributed by the newly acquired subsidiaries and also expansion in the environment and energy-related business, offsetting a decrease in installment loans in the loan servicing business.

Retail Segment: Life insurance, banking and the card loan business


		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2013		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Profits	(millions of yen)		39,622		96,570		56,948		144	%

		As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Assets	(millions of yen)		2,166,986		3,771,020		1,604,034		74	%

Although the life insurance business is being affected by macroeconomic factors such as domestic population decline, we are seeing increasing numbers of companies developing new products in response to the rising demand for medical insurance. In the consumer finance sector, loan demand is increasing due to improved consumer confidence resulting from Japan’s economic recovery, and consumer finance providers are enhancing their marketing activities accordingly.

Segment profits increased significantly compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the recognition of gain on sale of shares of Monex Group Inc. and a bargain purchase gain resulting from the acquisition of HLIKK on July 1, 2014. In addition, an increase in finance revenues in the banking business and an increase in revenues driven by growth in the number of policies in force in the life insurance business also contributed to higher segment profits.

Segment assets increased significantly compared to the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of an increase in investment in securities being held by HLIKK which was acquired on July 1, 2014 in addition to an increase in assets in the banking business.

Overseas Business Segment: Leasing, lending, investment in bonds, investment banking, asset management and ship- and aircraft-related operations


		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2013		Nine-month period ended December 31, 2014		Change		Year on Year Change
Segment Profits	(millions of yen)		52,364		84,786		32,422		62	%

Segment Assets	(millions of yen)		1,972,138		2,268,578		296,440		15	%

In the United States, with recovery in consumer spending and improvement in the job market, quantitative easing has ended, and uncertainty now centers on the timing of the Fed’s interest rate increase. Meanwhile, with new monetary easing measures being introduced in Europe, we are seeing dissimilarities among different countries’ monetary policies. Furthermore, with impacts of the Chinese economy slowing down and the sharp decline in oil prices, economic environments in each country are exhibiting signs of increased instability and imbalance.

Services income increased due to fee revenues contributed by business operations in the United States and by the asset management business of Robeco, which we acquired on July 1, 2013. Furthermore, we recognized a gain on sale of partial shares of STX Energy, which as a result of the sale became an equity method affiliate from a consolidated subsidiary. Segment profits increased significantly compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, offsetting an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses in line with the increase in revenues.

Segment assets increased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year due to increases in installment loans and investment in securities in the United States despite a decrease in property under facility operations due to sale of partial shares of STX Energy, which as a result of the sale became an equity method affiliate from a consolidated subsidiary.

Total assets increased 25% to ¥11,379,485 million compared to ¥9,069,392 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. Investment in securities and other assets increased in conjunction with the acquisition of HLIKK. In addition, installment loans increased primarily in the United States. Meanwhile, investment in operating leases decreased due to sales of rental properties and aircraft and property under facility operations decreased as a result of STX Energy changing from a consolidated subsidiary to an equity-method affiliate. Segment assets increased 27% compared to the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥9,281,219 million.

We manage the balance of interest-bearing liabilities at an appropriate level taking into account the condition of assets and liquidity on-hand as well as the domestic and overseas financial environment. As a result, long-term debt and deposits increased compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. In addition, policy liabilities and policy account balances for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts increased in connection with the consolidation of HLIKK.

Shareholders’ equity increased 10% to ¥2,106,393 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year primarily due to an increase in retained earnings.

(3) Qualitative Information Regarding Targets for Consolidated Financial Results

Financial Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2015

In the third consolidated period, considering the significant increases in total revenues and net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, and both of which have reached over 80% progress towards the annual targets, we have decided to revise the consolidated full year target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

The initial target for total revenues of ¥1,800,000 million (up 36.5% year on year) announced at the beginning of this fiscal year is revised upward by ¥300,000 million to ¥2,100,000 million. The initial target for net income attributable to ORIX Corporation shareholders of ¥210,000 million (up 12.4 % year on year) announced at the beginning of this fiscal year is revised upward by ¥5,000 million to ¥215,000 million.

The reasons for the upward revision of full year targets are primarily attributed to the greater than expected revenue contributions from Robeco, HLIKK, and other consolidated subsidiaries newly acquired. Other factors include the large gains on sales of securities resulted during the second consolidated period, bargain purchase gains resulted in the consolidation of HLIKK, and also solid performances by each segment in the third consolidated period.

The Corporate Financial Services segment aims to further expand its customer base and increase small-sized quality assets by strengthening cooperation with the Group companies. At the same time, the segment aims to accelerate the “Finance + Services” strategy through the expansion of fee revenues by providing products and services that meet customer needs, including environment and energy-related demands. Furthermore, we anticipate the Japanese government’s growth strategy will open up business opportunities in new areas, and the segment aims to actively embrace any such opportunities.

The Maintenance Leasing segment aims to increase new business volume and expand high value-added services in the automobile business and capture demand in growth areas and expand peripheral services in the rental business. The segment aims to achieve stable profits from its existing businesses, and at the same time, aims to further expand its market share and develop new markets in both the automobile and rental businesses.

The Real Estate segment aims to enhance its stable revenue base by promoting its facility operation and asset management businesses while continuing to turnover assets by taking advantage of the favorable business environment.

The Investment and Operation segment aims to grow profits through the expansion of its environment and energy-related business, promotion of principal investments both in Japan and overseas, and pursuit of revenue opportunities by capitalizing on its loan servicing expertise. In particular, in the renewable energy field, the segment is considering expanding its investment targets to include businesses, including geothermal and wind power generation in addition to continuing its focus on sales of solar panels and mega-solar business.

The Retail segment aims to increase card loan balances via the consolidated management of ORIX Bank and ORIX Credit. Additionally, the segment aims to expand the scale of the life insurance business by enhancing the agency network and increasing sales of first sector products in addition to the third sector products.

(Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, Business description: Life insurance business and reinsurance business, etc.), from The Hartford Life, Inc. (Head office: Simsbury, Connecticut, U.S.A.), a wholly owned second-tier subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. in order to enhance ORIX Life Insurance’s capital strength and improve the soundness of its operations with the aim of accelerating its future growth.

(2) Adoption of Simplified Accounting Method

There is no corresponding item.

(3) Changes in Accounting Principles, Procedures and Disclosures

In April 2014, Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (“Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”—ASC 205 (“Presentation of Financial Statements”) and ASC 360 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment”)) was issued. This Update requires an entity to report a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if it represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries early adopted this Update on April 1, 2014.

In accordance with this Update, the Company and its subsidiaries report a disposal of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift which has (or will have) a major effect on the company and its subsidiaries’ operations and financial results when the component or group of components is disposed by sale or classified as held for sale on or after April 1, 2014. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ results of operations or financial position.

This Update does not apply to a disposal or a classification as held for sale of a component or a group of components of the Company and its subsidiaries which have previously been reported in the financial statements. Accordingly, during the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to report gains on sales and the results of operations of subsidiaries and business units, which was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014, as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in accordance with ASC 205-20 prior to the early adoption of the amendments.

Note 1:

The Company evaluates the performance of segments based on income before income taxes and discontinued operations, adjusted for results of discontinued operations, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests before applicable tax effect. Tax expenses are not included in segment profits.

Note 2:

For certain VIEs that are used for securitization and are consolidated in accordance with ASC 810-10 (“Consolidations”), for which the VIE’s assets can be used only to settle related obligations of those VIEs and the creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to other assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, segment assets are measured based on the amount of the Company and its subsidiaries’ net investments in the VIEs, which is different from the amount of total assets of the VIEs, and accordingly, segment revenues are also measured at a net amount representing the revenues earned on the net investments in the VIEs. Certain gains or losses related to assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs, which are not ultimately attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries, are excluded from segment profits.

Note 3:

From the three-month period ended December 31, 2014, inter-segment transactions have been included in segment revenues, and eliminations of inter-segment transactions have been included in difference between segment total and consolidated amounts. As a result of the foregoing, we have reclassified the segment information for the previous third consolidated period.
