4Highlights of Consolidated Operating Performancefor FY16.1H (2)Life Insurance Business: Policy amount in force increased steadily year on year. However, ordinary
revenues decreased year on year due to a decrease in insurance premium revenues led by a decline insales of single premium products. Ordinary profit increased significantly year on year due to a significant
decline in provision of policy reserves for minimum guarantees for variable life insurance owing to a lower
acquisition of new policies, despite lower gains on sale of securities in the general account.
Non-life Insurance Business: Ordinary revenues expanded year on year, owing to an increase in net
premiums written primarily for mainstay automobile insurance and an increase in gains on sale ofsecurities. Ordinary profit increased year on year, due to the above-mentioned increase in gains on saleof securities.
Banking Business: Ordinary revenues decreased year on year due to a decrease in interest anddividend income on securities, partially offset by an increase in interest income on loans in line with afavorably growing balance of mortgage loans. Ordinary profit decreased significantly year on year, due tolower interest rates, an increase in operating expenses, mainly in advertising expenses for card loanbusiness, as well as decreased volumes of foreign currency and investment trust transactions.
Consolidated ordinary revenues decreased 4.6% year on year, to ¥631.9 billion. Ordinary revenues fromthe life insurance and the banking businesses decreased, while ordinary revenues from the non-life
insurance business increased. Consolidated ordinary profit increased 28.7% year on year, to ¥37.1 billion.
By business segment, ordinary profit from the life insurance and the non-life insurance businesses
increased, whereas ordinary profit from the banking business decreased. Profit attributable to owners of
the parent was up 31.2% year on year, to ¥25.1 billion due to the increase in consolidated ordinary profit.

Profit attributable to owners of the parent■Life insurance business
In FY16.1H, ordinary revenues were below our initial expectations due mainly to a decline in insurance premium revenues, but ordinary profit
exceeded our initial expectations due mainly to an decrease in insurance claim payments. We maintain our ordinary revenues and ordinary profit
forecast for the full year, taking into consideration such factors as the trends in insurance claim payments and the financial market environment in
the second half of the fiscal year.
■Non-life insurance businessAlthough ordinary profit in the first half outpaced our initial expectations due mainly to higher gains on sale of securities, we maintain our ordinary
revenues and ordinary profit forecast for the full year because we expect higher fees related to new policy acquisitions in the second half.
■Banking businessWe maintain our ordinary revenues and ordinary profit forecast for the full year because the operating results in the first half were nearly the sameas our initial forecast, and we expect this trend to continue in the second half.

years, percentage changes are set using linear
interpolation, with negative 29% as the percentagechange for 20 years and negative 20% as thepercentage change for 90 years.

(Example)
For Yen 30-year, 33% decrease (parallel shift),
28% decrease (twist), 8% decrease (butterfly)
