#### Recent Developments
The following is a summary of significant business developments since March 31, 2025 relating to Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

#### Operating Environment
As to the recent economic environment, although there have been concerns regarding the impact of increased U.S. tariffs on the global economy, the economy has remained resilient. This resilience has been mainly attributable to corporations temporarily absorbing the tariff costs, which limited the extent to which these costs were passed on to consumers.

In Japan, the economy has been experiencing a moderate recovery. In addition to corporations absorbing the tariff costs and lowering export prices, external demand has remained robust. Furthermore, domestic demand, including personal consumption and capital investment, also remained firm. The momentum for wage increases has also been sustained on the back of high corporate profits. On the other hand, the impact of tariffs has begun to materialize, as evidenced by recent declines in export volumes and production within the manufacturing sector. Amid these circumstances, the Bank of Japan ("BOJ") has refrained from raising its policy interest rate. It is expected that the BOJ will continue to determine its monetary policy by assessing developments in wages and prices and other trends in the economy going forward.

In the United States, the economy has continued to grow steadily, driven by consumption by high-income earners, which has been supported by higher stock prices reflecting expectations for AI-related demand. In addition, the cautious approach of corporations in passing on tariff costs has helped to mitigate the adverse effects of tariffs. On the other hand, the unemployment rate has been rising gradually, and signs of a slowdown in the labor market have become increasingly evident. Based on these circumstances, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") decided to proactively lower its policy interest rate at the meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee held in September, October and December 2025. Amid persistently high levels of uncertainty regarding future prospects, it is expected that the FRB will determine its future policies carefully while keeping an eye on inflation and economic conditions.

In Europe, the economy grew moderately as both domestic and external demand remained resilient. Inflation has decelerated, reflecting a slowdown in wage growth, and is hovering around the European Central Bank's ("ECB") inflation target of approximately 2%. Based on these circumstances, the ECB maintained its policy rates following a rate cut at the meeting held in June 2025. As interest rates are already considered to be at a neutral level, it is expected that the ECB will determine its future policies by carefully assessing the balance of risks to economic activity and prices.

In Asia, the economy continued to grow at a steady pace. In China, although the correction in the real estate market has been prolonged and exports to the United States have declined due to tariffs, the economy has remained resilient as a result of government measures to stimulate domestic demand and the expansion of exports to third countries.

In emerging countries, front-loaded exports ahead of the implementation of tariffs and robust conditions in the semiconductor market—driven by the growing demand for AI—supported economic activity. Against this backdrop, with currency depreciation pressures easing and inflation decelerating, central banks in these countries have been proceeding with policy rate cuts.

As for the future outlook of the global economy, although a slowdown is expected due to the reactionary decline following pre-tariff hike rush exports and the gradual pass-through of increased tariff costs, moderate growth is anticipated to continue, supported by AI-related investments and fiscal policies in the United States and Europe. In addition, due to Japan's and Europe's intensified export competition with China in global markets, as well as potential future policy actions by the United States, fears of economic deterioration and financial and capital market disruption may spread, which may also adversely affect the Japanese economy.

------

Key indicators of Japanese economic conditions in recent periods include the following:

• Japan's real gross domestic product on a quarterly basis, compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, increased by 2.0% and 0.6% in the quarter ended June 30 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The gross domestic product increased consecutively from the quarter ended June 30, 2021 through the quarter ended December 31, 2023, decreased in the two consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2024, and increased consecutively from the quarter ended September 30, 2024 through the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

• In September 2016, the BOJ introduced "quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control" by strengthening its two previous policy frameworks, namely "quantitative and qualitative monetary easing ("QQE")" and "QQE with a negative interest rate." These policies aimed to drive the observed consumer price index to a level exceeding the price stability target of 2% and to maintain the index above that target in a stable manner. Under this policy framework, the BOJ set a guideline for market operations: regarding short-term interest rates, the BOJ would apply an interest rate of negative 0.1% to certain excess balances in current accounts held by financial institutions at the BOJ; and regarding long-term interest rates, it would purchase Japanese government bonds to control long-term interest rates so that the yield of 10-year Japanese government bonds would remain at around 0%.

In March 2024, the BOJ expressed the view that its policy frameworks of "quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control" and the negative interest rate policy since 2016 have fulfilled their roles because the BOJ assessed that a virtuous cycle between wages and prices had emerged, and judged that the price stability target of 2 percent had come in sight and would be achieved in a sustainable and stable manner towards the end of the projection period of the January 2024 Outlook Report (Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices). As the guideline for market operations, the BOJ decided to (i) end the negative interest rate policy and encourage the uncollateralized overnight call rate to remain at around 0 to 0.1 percent, and (ii) eliminate the yield curve control and abolish the yield target level on 10-year Japanese government bonds.

In July 2024, the BOJ decided (i) to encourage the uncollateralized overnight call rate to remain at around 0.25 percent, and (ii) on a plan to reduce the amount of its monthly outright purchases of Japanese government bonds by about 400 billion yen each calendar quarter in principle, down to about 3 trillion yen during a period from January to March 2026.

In January 2025, the BOJ decided to encourage the uncollateralized overnight call rate to remain at around 0.5 percent. In accordance with the change in the guideline for money market operations, the BOJ decided to change (i) the interest rate applied to the complementary deposit facility (which is the interest rate applied to current account balances held by financial institutions at the BOJ, excluding required reserve balances) to 0.5 percent, and (ii) the basic loan rate applicable under the complementary lending facility to 0.75 percent.

In June 2025, the BOJ decided (i) to encourage the uncollateralized overnight call rate to remain at around 0.5 percent, and (ii) on a plan to reduce the amount of its monthly outright purchases of Japanese government bonds by about 400 billion yen each calendar quarter until January-March 2026, and by about 200 billion yen each calendar quarter from April-June 2026, down to about 2 trillion yen during a period from January to March 2027.

In September 2025, the BOJ decided to (i) encourage the uncollateralized overnight call rate to remain at around 0.5 percent, and (ii) sell exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Japan real estate investment trusts (J-REITs) to the market in accordance with the fundamental principles for their disposal, which include the principle to avoid inducing destabilizing effects on the financial markets. The sales amount of ETFs and J-REITs will account for about 0.05 percent of the total market trading value.

• The yield on newly issued 10-year Japanese government bonds, which is a key long-term interest rate indicator, was 1.490% as of March 31, 2025 and increased to 1.941% as of September 30, 2025. Thereafter, the yield increased further to 1.947% as of November 28, 2025.

• According to Teikoku Databank, a Japanese research institution, there were 4,990 corporate bankruptcies in the six months ended September 30, 2024, involving approximately ¥1.3 trillion in total liabilities, 5,080 corporate bankruptcies in the six months ended March 31, 2025, involving approximately ¥0.9 trillion in total liabilities, and 5,146 corporate bankruptcies in the six months ended September 30, 2025, involving approximately ¥0.7 trillion in total liabilities. The number of corporate bankruptcies has increased for nine consecutive half-year periods since the first half of fiscal year 2021, which is the longest period of continuous increase since 2000, and exceeded 5,000 corporate bankruptcies for the first time in twelve years, since the half fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, which recorded 5,320 corporate bankruptcies.

• The Nikkei Stock Average, which is an average of the price of 225 stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, increased by 26.2% to ¥44,932.63 as of September 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025. Thereafter, the Nikkei Stock Average increased to ¥50,253.91 as of November 28, 2025.

• The yen to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate, according to the BOJ, was ¥149.14 to $1.00 as of March 31, 2025 and strengthened to ¥148.07 to $1.00 as of September 30, 2025. Thereafter, the yen weakened to ¥156.32 to $1.00 as of November 28, 2025.

#### Developments Relating to Our Capital
All yen figures and percentages in this subsection are truncated.

We have been pursuing the optimal balance between capital adequacy, growth investment and enhancement of shareholder return.

In the six months ended September 30, 2025, we maintained a sufficient capital base compared to regulatory minimum requirements, mainly as a result of earning ¥689.9 billion of profit attributable to owners of parent (under Japanese GAAP).

Our Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio under Basel III as of September 30, 2025 was 13.70%.

With respect to redemptions of previously issued securities, we redeemed various securities that are eligible regulatory capital instruments under Basel III upon their respective initial optional redemption dates or their respective maturity dates. As for Additional Tier 1 capital, in December 2025, we redeemed ¥163.0 billion of unsecured perpetual subordinated bonds with an optional redemption clause and a write-down clause issued by Mizuho Financial Group in July 2020. As for Tier 2 capital, in June 2025 and October 2025, we redeemed ¥20.0 billion and $0.75 billion of unsecured fixed-term subordinated bonds with a write-down clause issued by Mizuho Financial Group in June 2015 and October 2015, respectively. In June 2025 and October 2025, as for Tier 2 capital, we also redeemed ¥40.0 billion and ¥74.0 billion of unsecured fixed-term subordinated bonds with an optional redemption clause and a write-down clause issued by Mizuho Financial Group in June 2020 and October 2020, respectively.

Meanwhile, as for the new issuances of Additional Tier 1 capital, in April 2025, we issued ¥111.5 billion and ¥52.5 billion of unsecured perpetual subordinated bonds with an optional redemption clause and a write-down clause through public offerings to wholesale investors in Japan. In July 2025, we also issued ¥150.0 billion and ¥70.0 billion of unsecured perpetual subordinated bonds with an optional redemption clause and a write-down clause through public offerings to wholesale investors in Japan. With respect to the new issuances of Tier 2 capital, in October 2025, we issued ¥66.0 billion of unsecured fixed-term subordinated bonds with a write-down clause through a public offering to retail investors in Japan. In October 2025, we also issued ¥84.0 billion of unsecured fixed-term subordinated bonds with an optional redemption clause and a write-down clause through a public offering to retail investors in Japan.

Interim cash dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 were ¥72.5 per share of common stock, an increase of ¥7.5 per share compared to ¥65.0 of the interim cash dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

------

On November 14, 2025, our Board of Directors resolved to repurchase shares of our common stock and cancel all of the repurchased shares. The resolution authorized the repurchase of up to the lesser of (i) an aggregate of 60,000,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) an aggregate of shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of ¥200 billion between November 17, 2025 and February 28, 2026. The cancellation of the repurchased shares is scheduled on March 23, 2026. Pursuant to the resolution, we have repurchased an aggregate of 5,894,100 shares for ¥31.0 billion as of November 30, 2025 on a trade basis.

From the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, we have implemented our new shareholder return policy of keeping progressive increase of dividends per share, while executing flexible and intermittent share buybacks. In addition, we aim to increase dividends per share by approximately ¥5.0 each fiscal year, based on and assuming the steady growth of our stable earnings base. We will decide on share buybacks, based on our business results, capital adequacy, our stock price and the opportunities for growth investment, using the total payout ratio of 50% or more as a guide.

#### Developments Relating to Our Business
*Acquisition of shares in Upsider Holdings* 

On July 28, 2025, Mizuho Bank entered into a share transfer agreement to acquire Upsider Holdings, Inc. ("Upsider") and completed the acquisition of 76.9% of Upsider's shares for approximately ¥46 billion on September 19, 2025. By combining Upsider's AI technology and credit expertise with Mizuho Bank's extensive experience and information, we will further strengthen our initiatives with Upsider in developing new credit models based on AI-human synergy, thereby building new ecosystems and creating high-value-added services that go beyond the boundaries of conventional finance.

*Acquisition of a leading independent financial advisory firm in the renewable energy and energy transition sector* 

On July 25, 2025, we and Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. ("Mizuho Securities"), our consolidated subsidiary, announced that Mizuho International plc, a consolidated subsidiary of Mizuho Securities, agreed to acquire Augusta & Co Limited, a leading European financial advisory firm serving the renewable energy and energy transition sector, and the transaction was completed on October 31, 2025. Through this strategic transaction, we will further strengthen our M&A advisory platform and energy transition credentials in the region and beyond, offering specialized renewable and transition advisory services to our clients.

*Completion of Transfer of Our Global Custody Business* 

On October 2, 2025, we announced with State Street Corporation the completion of our transaction to transfer our global custody and related businesses outside of Japan to State Street Corporation.

On December 17, 2025, Mizuho Securities entered into an agreement with the majority shareholder of Avendus Capital Private Limited ("Avendus"), an Indian financial services firm, to acquire more than 60% of shares of Avendus for up to 47 billion Indian rupees. This transaction is expected to complete by July 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Following the share acquisition, Avendus will become a consolidated subsidiary of Mizuho Securities. This investment will further strengthen our business foundation in India's rapidly developing and maturing capital markets.

#### Others
*Disposing of Our Cross-shareholdings* 

Reflecting the potential impact on our financial position associated with the risk of stock price fluctuations, as a basic policy, unless we consider the holdings to be meaningful, we will not hold the shares of other

------

companies as cross-shareholdings. Even if we consider the holdings to be meaningful, we will also endeavor to reduce them through dialogue with the issuing companies. As part of the medium-term business plan for the three fiscal years ending March 31, 2026, we are continuing our basic policy of reducing cross-shareholdings. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, we sold ¥36.7 billion of cross-shareholdings under Japanese GAAP on an acquisition cost basis.

Note:

(1) Other short-term borrowings consist of due to trust accounts, commercial paper and any other short-term borrowings.

Interest and dividend income decreased by ¥165 billion, or 5.2%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥3,004 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025 due mainly to a decrease in interest income from loans. The decrease in interest income from loans was due mainly to a decrease in the average yield of foreign loans. The changes in the average yields on interest-earning assets contributed to an overall decrease in interest and dividend income of ¥314 billion, and the changes in average balances of interest-earning assets contributed to an overall increase in interest and dividend income of ¥149 billion, resulting in a ¥165 billion decrease in interest and dividend income.

Interest expense decreased by ¥339 billion, or 13.1%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥2,240 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025 due mainly to decreases in interest expense on payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and deposits. These decreases were due mainly to a decrease in interest expense at our overseas subsidiaries. The changes in average interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities contributed to an overall decrease in interest expense of ¥220 billion, and the changes in average balances of interest-bearing liabilities contributed to an overall decrease in interest expense of ¥119 billion, resulting in a ¥339 billion decrease in interest expense.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income increased by ¥174 billion, or 29.4%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥764 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. Average interest rate spread rose by 0.23 percentage points from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to 0.32% in the six months

------

ended September 30, 2025. The rise of the average interest rate spread was due mainly to a decline in the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities, which more than offset the effect of a decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets.

#### Provision (Credit) for Credit Losses
Credit for credit losses on loans increased by ¥9 billion from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥11 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to a change from provision for credit losses on loans to credit for credit losses on loans to foreign borrowers, resulting from a decrease in the balance of nonaccrual loans to foreign borrowers.

---

Noninterest income increased by ¥304 billion, or 22.7% from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥1,641 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to investment gains—net of ¥590 billion compared to investment losses—net of ¥122 billion in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year, offset in part by a decrease in trading account gains—net of ¥578 billion.

*Fee and commission* 

Fee and commission increased by ¥58 billion, or 10.1%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥631 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to increases in fee and commission from lending business of ¥20 billion and fee and commission from securities-related business of ¥19 billion. The increase in fee and commission from lending business was due mainly to an increase in syndicate loan arrangement fees of a domestic bank subsidiary. The increase in fee and commission from securities-related business was due mainly to an increase in fee and commission from securities-related business at our securities subsidiaries.

------

*Foreign exchange gains (losses)—net* 

Foreign exchange losses—net decreased by ¥113 billion from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥7 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in foreign exchange losses—net was due mainly to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in the six months ended September 30, 2025.

*Trading account gains (losses)—net* 

Trading account gains—net decreased by ¥578 billion from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥224 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in trading account gains—net was due mainly to a decrease in gains related to changes in the market value of receive-fixed, pay-variable interest-rate swaps, reflecting a rise in long-term interest rates, and a decrease in gains related to changes in the fair value of our portfolio of foreign currency-denominated securities for which the fair value option was elected. For further information on the fair value option, see note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

*Investment gains (losses)—net* 

Investment gains (losses)—net was a gain of ¥590 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a loss of ¥122 billion in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year, among which investment gains (losses)—net related to equity securities was a gain of ¥586 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a loss of ¥134 billion in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year. The change from investment losses—net to investment gains—net related to equity securities was due mainly to an increase in gains related to changes in the fair value of Japanese equity securities in the six months ended September 30, 2025, which mostly reflected the relative strength in market conditions compared to losses in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year. For further information, see note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

---

Noninterest expenses increased by ¥61 billion, or 5.3%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥1,214 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to increases in salaries and employee benefits of ¥34 billion, and general and administrative expenses of ¥35 billion, offset in part by a decrease in other noninterest expenses of ¥37 billion.

*Salaries and employee benefits* 

Salaries and employee benefits increased by ¥34 billion, or 7.9%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥464 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to an increase in personnel expenses at a domestic bank subsidiary, a domestic securities subsidiary and certain U.S. subsidiaries.

------

*General and administrative expenses* 

General and administrative expenses increased by ¥35 billion, or 8.7%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥436 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to increases in property expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses of software at a domestic bank subsidiary.

*Other noninterest expenses* 

Other noninterest expenses decreased by ¥37 billion, or 31.0%, from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥83 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was due mainly to lower expenses at a domestic bank subsidiary and a U.S. subsidiary.

#### Income Tax Expense
The following table shows certain information as to our income, income tax expense and net income attributable to MHFG shareholders for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025:

---

Income tax expense increased by ¥59 billion from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥288 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. Current tax expense in the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased by ¥6 billion from the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year to ¥206 billion. The increase in current tax expense was due mainly to an increase in the taxable income of our securities subsidiary. Deferred tax expense in the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased by ¥53 billion from the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year to ¥81 billion. The change in deferred tax expense was due primarily to changes in temporary differences attributable to marketable securities of our principal banking subsidiaries.

We consider the sales of available-for-sale securities and equity securities to be a qualifying tax-planning strategy that is a possible source of future taxable income to the extent necessary in the future mainly with respect to our principal banking subsidiaries in Japan. The reliance on this tax-planning strategy of our subsidiaries in Japan was at immaterial levels of overall deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2025.

#### Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests was income of ¥99 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a loss of ¥15 billion in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year.

#### Net Income Attributable to MHFG Shareholders
As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to MHFG shareholders increased by ¥252 billion, or 44.8%, from the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year to ¥816 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025.

#### Business Segments Analysis
We manage our group under an in-house company system based on our diverse customer segments. The aim of this system is to leverage our strengths and competitive advantage, which is the seamless integration of our banking, trust banking and securities functions under a holding company structure, to speedily provide high-quality financial services that closely match customer needs.

Specifically, the company system is classified into the following five in-house companies, each based on a customer segment: the Retail & Business Banking Company ("RBC"); the Corporate & Investment Banking Company ("CIBC"); the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Company ("GCIBC"); the Global Markets Company ("GMC"); and the Asset Management Company ("AMC"). These customer segments are regarded as our operating segments and constitute reportable segments, and they reflect the manner in which our financial information is evaluated by our group's Executive Management Committee, whose members act collectively as our group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

Our business segment information is prepared based on the internal management reporting systems used by the CODM to assess the performance of our business segments under Japanese GAAP. The CODM's review of the reported measures of reportable segments includes evaluation of segment profitability and assessment of actual results compared to the budget. These measures are regularly provided to the CODM and are a component of a multifaceted decision-making process regarding segment performance as well as resource and capital allocation. Since figures reported to the CODM are prepared under Japanese GAAP, they are not consistent with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This difference is addressed in note 20 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, where a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of the total amount of all business segments is provided.

For a brief description of each of our business segments, see note 20 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Notes:

(1) Income and expenses of foreign branches of Mizuho Bank and foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than Japanese Yen have been translated for purposes of segment reporting using the budgeted foreign currency rates. Prior period comparative amounts for such foreign currency income and expenses have been translated using current period budgeted foreign currency rates.

(2) "Gross profits + Net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others" is reported instead of sales reported by general corporations. Gross profits is defined as the sum of net interest income, fiduciary income, net fee and commission income, net trading income and net other operating income. Net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others consist of net gains (losses) on ETFs held by Mizuho Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking on their non-consolidated basis and net gains (losses) on operating investment securities of Mizuho Securities on its consolidated basis. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others amounted to ¥40.8 billion and ¥44.1 billion, respectively, of which ¥37.2 billion and ¥40.1 billion are included in GMC, respectively.

(3) "General and administrative expenses" excludes non-allocated gains (losses), net, which primarily includes personnel expenses, depreciation expenses, and occupancy expenses. When the CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources, these expenses are regularly provided to the CODM in an aggregated form as "General and administrative expenses" and may be used, for example, to evaluate the expense ratio against segment profits and to compare them with the budgeted expense information.

(4) Net business profits (losses) is used in Japan as a measure of the profitability of core banking operations, and is defined as gross profits (as defined above) less general and administrative expenses (excluding non-allocated gains (losses), net) plus equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees-net less amortization of goodwill and others. Measurement of net business profits (losses) is required for regulatory reporting to the Financial Services Agency of Japan.

(5) "Fixed assets" is presented based on Japanese GAAP and corresponds to the total amount of the following U.S. GAAP accounts: Premises and equipment-net; Goodwill; Intangible assets; and right-of-use assets related to operating leases included in Other assets. The above table does not include other asset amounts because "Fixed assets" is the only balance sheet measure that the CODM uses when evaluating and making decisions pertaining to the operating segments. "Others" in "Fixed assets" includes assets of headquarters that have not been allocated to each segment, "Fixed assets" pertaining to consolidated subsidiaries that are not subject to allocation, consolidating adjustments, and others. Certain "Fixed assets" expenses have been allocated to each segment using reasonable allocation criteria.

(6) "Others" includes the following items:

• profits and expenses pertaining to consolidated subsidiaries that are not subject to allocation;

• consolidating adjustments, including elimination of internal transaction between each segment;

• equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees-net that are not subject to allocation; and

• profits and losses pertaining to derivative transactions that reflect the counterparty risk of the individual parties and other factors in determining fair market value.

Notes:

(1) Others includes primarily foreign exchange translation.

(2) The majority of total foreign consist of corporate.

Allowance for credit losses on loans decreased by ¥237 billion, or 29.1%, from March 31, 2025 to ¥579 billion as of September 30, 2025 due mainly to charge-offs of loans to certain domestic corporate borrowers. As a result, the percentage of allowance for credit losses on loans against total loans decreased by 0.24 percentage points to 0.58%.

Credit for credit losses on loans increased by ¥8 billion from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥10 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to a change from provision for credit losses on loans to credit for credit losses on loans to foreign borrowers, resulting from a decrease in the balance of nonaccrual loans to foreign borrowers.

Charge-offs increased by ¥212 billion from the six months ended September 30, 2024 to ¥238 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to charge-offs of loans to certain domestic corporate borrowers.

---

Total equity increased by ¥556 billion from March 31, 2025 to ¥11,106 billion as of September 30, 2025 due mainly to an increase in retained earnings.

------

Retained earnings increased by ¥560 billion from March 31, 2025 to ¥3,904 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to net income attributable to MHFG shareholders for the six months ended September 30, 2025 of ¥816 billion, offset in part by dividend payments of ¥188 billion and a decrease of ¥67 billion as a result of the cancellation of common stock.

Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, decreased by ¥36 billion from March 31, 2025 to ¥896 billion as of September 30, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities of ¥23 billion and foreign currency translation adjustments of ¥11 billion.

Noncontrolling interests increased by ¥67 billion from March 31, 2025 to ¥552 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase was due mainly to an increase in net assets of certain investment funds that we consolidate.

#### Liquidity
We continuously endeavor to enhance the management of our liquidity profile to meet our customers' loan demand and deposit withdrawals and respond to unforeseen situations such as adverse movements in stock prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other markets or changes in general domestic or international conditions. We manage our liquidity profile through the continuous monitoring of our cash flow situation, the enforcement of upper limits on funds raised in financial markets and other means as further set forth in "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Liquidity Risk Management" in our most recent Form 20-F.

Deposits, based on our broad customer base and brand recognition in Japan, have been our primary source of liquidity. Our total deposits increased by ¥1,343 billion, or 0.8%, from March 31, 2025 to ¥175,134 billion as of September 30, 2025.

Secondary sources of liquidity include short-term borrowings such as call money and funds purchased and payables under repurchase agreements. We also issue long-term debt, including both senior and subordinated debt, as additional sources of liquidity. We utilize short-term borrowings to diversify our funding sources and to manage our funding costs. We raise senior and subordinated long-term debt for the purpose of improving our total loss absorbing capacity and capital adequacy ratios, which also enhances our liquidity profile. We believe we are able to access such sources of liquidity on a stable and flexible basis based on our current credit ratings. The following table shows credit ratings assigned to us and to our principal banking subsidiaries by S&P and Moody's as of November 30, 2025:

We source our funding in foreign currencies primarily from corporate customers, foreign governments, financial institutions and institutional investors, through short-term and long-term financing, under terms and pricing commensurate with our credit ratings above, and customer deposits. In the event of future declines in our credit quality or that of Japan in general, we expect to be able to purchase foreign currencies in sufficient amounts using the yen funds raised through our domestic customer base. As further measures to support our foreign currency liquidity, we hold foreign debt securities and maintain credit lines and swap facilities denominated in foreign currencies.

In order to maintain appropriate funding liquidity, our principal banking subsidiaries hold highly liquid investment assets such as Japanese government bonds as liquidity reserve assets. We monitor the amount of

------

liquidity reserve assets and report such amount to the Risk Management Committee, the Balance Sheet Management Committee and our President & Group CEO on a regular basis. Minimum regulatory reserve amounts, or the reserve amount deposited with the Bank of Japan pursuant to applicable regulations that is calculated as a specified percentage of the amount of deposits held by our principal banking subsidiaries, are excluded in connection with our management of liquidity reserve asset levels. We established and apply classifications for the cash flow conditions affecting the group, including the amount of liquidity reserve assets, that range from "Normal" to "Anxious" and "Crisis" categories, and take appropriate actions based on such conditions. As of September 30, 2025, the balance of Japanese government bonds included within our investments and measured at fair value was ¥11.0 trillion (excluding held-to-maturity securities), and a majority of this amount was classified as the principal component of liquidity reserve assets.

Under the regulatory liquidity requirements in Japan that consist of the liquidity coverage ratio ("LCR") standard and the net stable funding ratio ("NSFR") standard, the regulatory minimum requirements of LCR and NSFR are 100% on both a consolidated and non-consolidated basis for banks with international operations or on a consolidated basis for bank holding companies with international operations. Under the disclosure guidelines of the Financial Services Agency, banks and bank holding companies with international operations are required to disclose the three-month averages of daily LCR and to disclose NSFR on a quarterly basis. Set forth below are the averages of the daily end balances of consolidated LCR data of Mizuho Financial Group, and consolidated and non-consolidated LCR data of our principal banking subsidiaries, each for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and consolidated NSFR data of Mizuho Financial Group, and consolidated and non-consolidated NSFR data of our principal banking subsidiaries, each as of September 30, 2025. The figures are calculated based on our financial statements prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and the guidelines on LCR and NSFR established by the Financial Services Agency. All yen figures in this table are truncated.

#### Off-balance-sheet Arrangements

#### Capital Adequacy
All yen figures and percentages in this subsection are truncated. Accordingly, the total of each column of figures may not be equal to the total of the individual items.

#### Regulatory Capital Requirements
The capital adequacy guidelines applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies each with international operations supervised by the Financial Services Agency, including us, require them to measure and apply capital charges with respect to their credit risk, market risk and operational risk.

Under the guidelines, banks and bank holding companies have several choices for the methodologies to calculate their capital requirements for credit risk and market risk, and under the finalized Basel III reforms, the standardized approaches and the advanced measurement approaches for operational risk are replaced with a single revised standardized approach to be used by all banks. We use the advanced internal ratings-based approach which was revised under the Basel III finalization framework for the calculation of credit risk. For the calculation of market risk and operational risk, we use the standardized approach for the calculation of both risks.

As a bank and bank holding company with international operations, Mizuho Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking are required to have a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5%, Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, and

------

total capital ratio of 8.0% on both a consolidated and non-consolidated basis, and Mizuho Financial Group is required to have the same minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio, and total capital ratio on a consolidated basis.

In addition, we are also subject to capital conservation buffers and countercyclical buffers, and Mizuho Financial Group is also subject to additional loss absorbency requirements for a global systemically important bank ("G-SIB") and domestic systemically important bank ("D-SIB"). These buffer requirements must be met with Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The capital conservation buffer and the additional loss absorbency requirements currently applicable to us are 2.5% and 1.0%, respectively. The countercyclical buffer is a weighted average of the buffers deployed across all the jurisdictions to which the banking organization has credit exposures, which, ranging from 0% to 2.5%, would be imposed on banking organizations, subject to national discretion by the respective regulatory authorities. See "Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Capital Adequacy" in our most recent Form 20-F.

We are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.15% from April 1, 2024. In addition, Mizuho Financial Group is subject to the leverage ratio buffer requirement for G-SIBs of 0.55% from April 1, 2024, and thus the minimum leverage ratio requirement together with the minimum leverage ratio buffer requirement applicable to Mizuho Financial Group from April 1, 2024 is 3.70% in total. The leverage ratio is a measure of non-risk based capital adequacy that is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital (as numerator) by the total exposure (denominator), with adjustments made to on- and off-balance assets. See "Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Leverage Ratio" in our most recent Form 20-F.

Under Total Loss Absorbing Capacity ("TLAC") regulations, Mizuho Financial Group is required to meet minimum TLAC requirements of at least 18% of the resolution group's risk-weighted assets and at least 7.10% from April 1, 2024, of its total exposure. Japanese G-SIBs are allowed to count the Japanese Deposit Insurance Fund Reserves in an amount equivalent to 3.5% of their consolidated risk-weighted assets as their external TLAC. See "Item 4.B. Information on the Company— Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Total Loss Absorbing Capacity" in our most recent Form 20-F.

#### Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratios, Leverage Ratios and TLAC Ratios
Our consolidated capital adequacy ratios, leverage ratios and TLAC ratios as of March 31 and September 30, 2025, calculated in accordance with Japanese GAAP and the guidelines established by the Financial Services Agency, were as set forth in the following table:

---

|  CET1 available after meeting the bank's minimum capital requirements | 8.73% | 9.20% | 0.47% |
|  Total Exposure<sup>(2)</sup> | ¥235543.8 | ¥242264.4 | ¥6720.6 |
|  Leverage ratio<sup>(3)</sup> | 4.77% | 5.07% | 0.30% |
|  External TLAC ratio (risk-weighted assets basis, excluding capital buffers) | 26.86% | 26.88% | 0.02% |
|  External TLAC ratio (total exposure basis, including capital buffers)<sup>(4)</sup> | 9.29% | 9.34% | 0.05% |

Notes:

(1) The required ratios described above, as of March 31 and September 30, 2025, include the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, the countercyclical capital buffer of 0.11% and 0.12%, respectively, and the additional loss absorbency requirements for G-SIBs and D-SIBs of 1.00%, which are all in addition to the regulatory minima. The respective required amounts are determined by applying the ratios to the sum of the risk-weighted assets. These buffers and additional loss absorbency requirements are applied to us but not to our banking subsidiaries.

(2) As of March 31 and September 30, 2025, our total exposures (excluding the impact of any applicable exemption of deposits with the Bank of Japan) were ¥291,989.8 billion and ¥296,676.8 billion, respectively.

(3) As of March 31 and September 30, 2025, our leverage ratios on a consolidated basis (excluding the impact of any applicable exemption of deposits with the Bank of Japan) were 3.85% and 4.14%, respectively.

(4) As of March 31 and September 30, 2025, our external TLAC ratios on a total exposure basis (excluding the impact of any applicable exemption of deposits with the Bank of Japan) were 7.49% and 7.63%, respectively.

Our total capital ratio as of September 30, 2025 was 18.41%, an increase of 0.66% compared to March 31, 2025. Our Tier 1 capital ratio as of September 30, 2025 was 16.55%, an increase of 0.90% compared to March 31, 2025. Our CET1 capital ratio as of September 30, 2025 was 13.70%, an increase of 0.47% compared to March 31, 2025. The increase in our CET1 capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and total capital ratio were due mainly to an increase in Common Equity Tier 1 capital. We believe that we were in compliance with all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject as of September 30, 2025.

#### Principal Banking Subsidiaries
Capital adequacy ratios and leverage ratios of our principal banking subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of March 31 and September 30, 2025, calculated in accordance with Japanese GAAP and the guidelines established by the Financial Services Agency, were as set forth in the following table:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of** | **As of** | **Increase**<br>**(decrease)** |
|  | **March 31,**<br>**2025** | **September 30,**<br>**2025** | **Increase**<br>**(decrease)** |
|  **Mizuho Bank** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio | 11.42% | 12.34% | 0.92% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tier 1 capital ratio | 14.06% | 15.48% | 1.42% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total capital ratio | 16.27% | 17.50% | 1.23% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leverage ratio | 4.26% | 4.72% | 0.46% |
|  **Mizuho Trust & Banking** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio | 31.60% | 34.57% | 2.97% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tier 1 capital ratio | 31.60% | 34.58% | 2.98% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total capital ratio | 31.60% | 34.58% | 2.98% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leverage ratio | 13.49% | 15.33% | 1.84% |

---

We believe each of our principal banking subsidiaries was in compliance with all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of September 30, 2025.

Our securities subsidiary in Japan is also subject to the capital adequacy requirement under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Under this requirement, securities firms whose total assets exceed ¥1 trillion, such as Mizuho Securities, must maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 120% both on a consolidated and non-consolidated basis calculated as a percentage of capital accounts less certain assets, as determined in accordance with Japanese GAAP, against amounts equivalent to market, counterparty and basic risks. Specific guidelines are issued as a ministerial ordinance and a regulatory notice that detail the definition of essential components of the capital ratios, including capital, disallowed assets and risks, and related measures. Failure to maintain a minimum capital ratio will trigger mandatory regulatory actions. For example, each on a non-consolidated basis, a capital ratio of less than 140% will call for regulatory reporting, a capital ratio of less than 120% may lead to an order to change the business conduct or place the property in trust and a capital ratio of less than 100% may lead to a temporary suspension of all or part of the business operations and further, to the cancellation of the license to act as a securities broker and dealer. We believe, as of September 30, 2025, that our securities subsidiary in Japan was in compliance with all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

1. Basis of presentation

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. ("MHFG") is a joint stock corporation with limited liability under the laws of Japan. MHFG is a holding company for Mizuho Bank, Ltd. ("MHBK"), Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. ("MHTB"), Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. ("MHSC"), Asset Management One Co., Ltd. ("Asset Management One"), and other subsidiaries. MHFG, through its subsidiaries ("the MHFG Group," or "the Group"), provides domestic and international financial services in Japan and other countries. For a discussion of the Group's segment information, see Note 20 "Business segment information."

MHFG and its domestic subsidiaries as well as its foreign subsidiaries maintain their accounting records in accordance with the accounting standards of Japan and those standards of the countries in which they are domiciled. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform them to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which MHFG is incorporated and principally operates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MHFG and its subsidiaries. MHFG's interim financial reporting period ends on September 30. Certain of MHFG's subsidiaries have different interim financial reporting periods than September 30. For those subsidiaries with interim financial reporting periods within three months of MHFG's interim financial reporting period, the effect of intervening events that materially affect the financial position or results of operations through the date of each of the periods presented in the MHFG's consolidated financial statements has been considered for adjustment and/or disclosure. When determining whether to consolidate investee entities, the MHFG Group performs an analysis of the facts and circumstances of the particular relationships between the MHFG Group and the investee entities as well as the ownership of voting shares. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of VIEs for which MHFG or its subsidiaries have been determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The MHFG Group accounts for investments in entities over which it has significant influence by using the equity method of accounting. These investments are included in Other investments and the Group's proportionate share of income or loss is included in Equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees-net.

Certain comparative amounts for the prior period have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period's presentation.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the MHFG Group's most recent annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.

The financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Specific areas, among

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
others, requiring the application of management's estimates and judgment include assumptions pertaining to the allowance for credit losses, valuation of loans held-for-sale, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of derivative financial instruments, valuation of investments, valuation of certain other short-term borrowings and long-term debt where the fair value option has been elected, valuation of pension and other employee benefits, and impairment of long-lived assets. During times of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty including uncertainty relating to the consequences of trade policies, estimates become more sensitive and it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from estimates and assumptions made.

Financial instruments—current expected credit losses ("CECL")

CECL established a single allowance framework for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet instrument exposures. This framework requires management's estimate to reflect credit losses over the instrument's remaining expected life and consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions. ASC 326, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses" ("ASC 326") reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information such as relevant information about past events including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, for the purpose of informing credit loss estimates. ASC 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASC 326 also requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down and limits the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. Per the accounting policy election, the MHFG Group does not record expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables because uncollectible accrued interest is reversed through interest income in a timely manner in line with the Group's nonaccrual and past due policies. The amount of accrued interest receivable reversed through interest income was not significant for March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

Allowance and provision (credit) for credit losses on loans

Each reporting period, the MHFG Group makes adjustments to the allowance for credit losses on loans through Provision (credit) for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. Loan principal that management judges to be uncollectible, based on detailed loan reviews and a credit quality assessment, is charged off against the allowance for credit losses on loans. In general, the Group charges off loans when the Group determines that the obligor should be classified as substantially bankrupt or bankrupt. See Note 4 "Loans" for the definitions of obligor categories. Obligors in the retail portfolio segment are generally determined to be substantially bankrupt when they are past due for more than six months, and as for obligors in the corporate portfolio segment, the Group separately monitors the credit quality of each obligor without using time-based triggers.

The MHFG Group maintains an appropriate allowance for credit losses on loans to represent management's estimate of the expected credit losses in the Group's loan portfolio. Management evaluates the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on loans semi-annually. The allowance considers expected credit losses over the remaining expected lives of the applicable instruments. The expected life of each instrument is determined by considering expected prepayments, contractual terms and cancellation features. The allowance for credit losses involves significant judgments on a number of matters including expectations of future economic conditions, assignment of obligor ratings, valuation of collateral, the timing and amount of future cash flows, and the development of qualitative adjustments.

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
When determining expected credit losses, a single forward-looking macroeconomic scenario is considered over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. This forward-looking macroeconomic scenario is in line with the scenario used for the Group's business plan. If the scenarios are not reflective of management's expectations, adjustments may be made to the scenarios. After the forecast period, the Group reverts to long-term historical loss experience with a certain graduated transition period, to estimate losses over the remaining lives of financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet instruments. The macroeconomic scenario is updated semi-annually in principle and is reviewed to reflect current economic conditions and the Group's expectation of future conditions on a timely basis. For March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Group used the most recent macroeconomic scenario available during the Group's credit loss estimation process.

In terms of the internal risk ratings, for the corporate portfolio segment, the credit quality review process and the credit rating process serve as the basis for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans. Through such processes, loans are categorized into groups to reflect the probability of default, whereby the MHFG Group's management assesses the ability of borrowers to service their debt, taking into consideration current financial information, ability to generate cash, historical payment experience, analysis of relevant industry segments and current trends. For the retail portfolio segment, the different categories of past due status of loans are primarily utilized in the credit quality review and the credit rating processes as the basis for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans.

In general, the MHFG Group estimates expected credit losses collectively on the loans in the case of normal and watch obligors, considering the risk associated with a particular pool and the probability that the exposures within the pool will deteriorate or default. The allowance for credit losses on nonaccrual loans generally includes the allowance for those loans that were individually evaluated for expected credit losses. See Note 4 "Loans" for the definitions of obligor categories and classification of nonaccrual loans.

The estimation of expected credit losses that are evaluated collectively begins with a quantitative calculation that considers the likelihood of the borrower changing delinquency status or moving from one obligor category or rating to another. The quantitative calculation covers expected credit losses over an instrument's expected life and is estimated by applying credit loss factors to the MHFG Group's estimated exposure at default. The credit loss factors incorporate the probability of default as well as the loss given default based on the historical loss rates. To supplement the historical loss data for overseas obligors, external credit ratings such as S&P are also used to calculate the probability of default. The model and inputs used to determine credit losses on loans that are evaluated collectively are analyzed on a periodic basis by comparing the estimated values with the actual results subsequent to the balance sheet date.

The MHFG Group divides its overall portfolio into domestic and foreign portfolios and categorizes the domestic portfolio into four portfolio segments according to their risk profiles: corporate, retail, sovereign, and banks and financial institutions.

The corporate portfolio segment consists of loans originated primarily by MHBK and MHTB, and includes mainly business loans such as those used for working capital and capital expenditure, as well as loans for which the primary source of repayment of the obligation is income generated by the relevant assets such as project finance, asset finance and real estate finance. The corporate portfolio segment is divided into two classes based on their risk characteristics: large companies, and small and medium-sized companies. For the corporate portfolio segment, the MHFG Group considers key economic factors such as gross domestic products for Japan and each relevant foreign location, where the portfolio is significant, and the interest rates in Japan when estimating the credit loss.

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
The retail portfolio segment consists mainly of residential mortgage loans originated by MHBK, and it is divided into two classes based on their risk characteristics: housing loans and others. For the retail portfolio segment, the Japanese unemployment rate is applied as a key factor. As it pertains to modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the retail portfolio segment, the restructuring itself, as well as subsequent payment defaults, if any, are considered in determining obligor categories. Expected credit loss estimates also include consideration of expected cash recoveries on loans previously charged-off, or expected recoveries on collateral dependent loans where recovery is expected through sale of the collateral.

The allowance recorded for individually evaluated loans is based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows, calculated using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method, which considers the restructuring effect and subsequent payment default with respect to modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, discounted at the loan's post-modification contractual effective interest rate, (2) the loan's observable market price, or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The collateral that the MHFG Group obtains for loans consists primarily of real estate. In obtaining the collateral, the Group evaluates the fair value of the collateral and its legal enforceability. The Group also performs subsequent re-evaluations at least once a year. As it pertains to real estate collateral, valuation is generally performed by an internal appraisal department which is independent from the Group's loan origination departments by using generally accepted valuation techniques such as (1) the replacement cost approach, (2) the sales comparison approach or (3) the income approach. In the case of large real estate collateral, the Group generally engages third-party appraisers to perform the valuation.

The MHFG Group's methodology for determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses on loans also considers the imprecision inherent in the methodologies used. As a result, the amounts determined under the methodologies described above could be adjusted by management to consider the potential impact of other qualitative factors which include, but are not limited to, imprecision in macroeconomic scenario assumptions and emerging risks such as trade policies and their ripple effect on specific portfolio segments. Considering internal and external factors affecting the credit quality of the portfolio, the Group incorporated the estimated impact of the evolving tariff policies on the automotive supply chain, the interest rate hike on domestic obligors and other factors contributing to economic uncertainty into the macroeconomic scenario. The macroeconomic scenario was revised to reflect updated key assumptions including the forecasted business outlook for specific portfolio segments, and the current forecast for the growth rate of gross domestic product.

Allowance and provision (credit) for credit losses on off-balance-sheet instruments

The MHFG Group maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet instruments, such as guarantees and standby letters of credit in the same manner as the allowance for credit losses on loans. The Group similarly assesses the expected loss amounts for commitments to invest in securities and commitments to extend credit, considering the probability of drawdowns. The allowance is recorded in Other liabilities. Net changes in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet instruments are accounted for in Provision (credit) for credit losses on off-balance-sheet instruments in the consolidated statements of income.

Allowance and provision (credit) for credit losses on available-for-sale securities

The MHFG Group performs periodic reviews to identify impaired securities in accordance with ASC 326. Available-for-sale securities are impaired if the fair value is less than the amortized cost (excluding accrued interest receivable). In the case where the Group has the intent to sell an available-for-sale debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell an available-for-sale debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost

basis, the entire difference between amortized cost basis and fair value is recognized immediately through earnings. In other cases, the Group evaluates expected cash flows to be received and determines if a credit loss exists, and if so, the amount of the credit loss is recognized in Provision (credit) for credit losses, while the remaining decline in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

2. Issued accounting pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2025

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No.2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU No.2023-09"). The ASU improves income tax disclosures primarily in relation to the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid on an annual basis. The ASU will be effective for the MHFG Group for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No.2023-09 will have on disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No.2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" ("ASU No.2024-03"). This ASU improves the disclosures of expenses by requiring public business entities to provide further disaggregation of relevant expense captions (i.e., employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization) in a separate note to the financial statements, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses and, in an annual reporting period, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The transition method is prospective with the retrospective method permitted, and the ASU will be effective for the MHFG Group for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2028 and for interim periods beginning April 1, 2028. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No.2024-03 will have on disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

Credit losses

The MHFG Group did not recognize allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities on March 31 and September 30, 2024 and March 31 and September 30, 2025. The Group did not recognize allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on March 31 and September 30, 2024 and March 31 and September 30, 2025 because held-to-maturity securities consist of Japanese government bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities like Ginnie Mae securities. See Note 1 "Basis of presentation" for further details of the methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses.

Continuous unrealized loss position

The following table shows the gross unrealized losses, net of allowance for credit losses, and fair value of available-for-sale securities, aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

| Note: | Agency mortgage-backed securities presented in this line consist of Japanese agency mortgage-backed securities, of which the fair values were ¥308,626 million at March 31, 2025, and ¥311,042 million at September 30, 2025. All Japanese agency mortgage-backed securities are issued by Japan Housing Finance Agency, a Japanese government-sponsored enterprise.  |

---

Available-for-sale securities are considered impaired if the fair value is less than the amortized cost. The MHFG Group recognizes impairment losses in earnings if the Group has the intent to sell the debt security, or if it is more likely than not that the Group will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost.

For Japanese government bonds, U.S. Treasury bonds and federal agency securities and Agency mortgage-backed securities, their entire amortized cost bases are expected to be recovered since the unrealized losses had not resulted from credit deterioration, but primarily from changes in interest rates. For the debt securities other than those described above, except for the securities for which credit losses are recognized in income, the Group determined that their entire amortized cost bases are expected to be recovered, after considering various factors such as the extent to which their fair values were below their amortized cost bases, the external and/or internal ratings and the present values of cash flows expected to be collected. Based on the aforementioned evaluation, except for the securities for which credit losses are recognized in income, the Group determined that the debt securities in an unrealized loss position were not considered credit losses.

Realized gains and losses

The following table shows the realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025. See "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited)" for the proceeds from sales of investments.

#### Equity securities
Equity securities include securities which have readily determinable fair values, securities which qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent), and securities which are without readily determinable fair values. Equity securities which have readily determinable fair values mainly consist of common stock of Japanese listed companies. Equity securities which are measured based on the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) consist of private equity and real estate funds. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values include non-marketable stock.

The MHFG Group elected to measure all equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value, using the measurement alternative, which is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Under the measurement alternative, equity securities are carried at cost plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar securities of the same issuer. In addition, the Group assesses whether these equity securities are impaired. Impairment is primarily based on a liquidation value technique that considers the financial condition, credit ratings, and near-term prospects of the issuers. When observable price changes or impairments exist, the securities are adjusted to fair value, with the full difference between the fair value of the security and its carrying amount recognized in earnings.

Investments held by consolidated investment companies

The MHFG Group consolidates certain investment companies over which it has control through either ownership or other means. Investment companies are subject to specialized industry accounting which requires investments to be carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Group maintains this specialized industry accounting for investments held by consolidated investment companies, which consist of marketable and non-marketable investments.

4. Loans

Credit quality information

In accordance with the MHFG Group's credit risk management policies, the Group uses an internal rating system that consists of credit ratings for the corporate portfolio segment and pool allocations for the retail portfolio segment as the basis of its risk management infrastructure. Credit ratings consist of obligor ratings which represent the level of credit risk of the obligor, and transaction ratings which represent the ultimate possibility of losses expected on individual loans by taking into consideration various factors such as collateral or guarantees involved. In principle, obligor ratings are applied to all obligors except those to which pool allocations are applied, and are subject to regular review at least once a year as well as special review which is required whenever the obligor's credit standing changes. Pool allocations are applied to small loans that are less than a specified amount by pooling customers and loans with similar risk characteristics, and the risk is assessed mainly based on past due status and managed according to such pools. The Group generally reviews the appropriateness and effectiveness of the approach to obligor ratings and pool allocations once a year in accordance with predetermined policies and procedures.

The Group does not record expected credit losses for accrued interest receivables because uncollectible accrued interest is reversed through interest income in a timely manner in line with the Group's nonaccrual and past due policies for loans. The amount of accrued interest receivables included in Accrued income was ¥239 billion and ¥240 billion at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Group does not believe that its exposure to any particular geographic area and business sector results in a significant concentration of credit risk.

The table below presents the MHFG Group's definition of obligor ratings used by MHBK and MHTB, and equivalent obligor ratings are determined for the other subsidiaries:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Obligor category<sup>(1)(2)</sup>** | **Obligor rating** | **Definition** |
| Normal | A | Obligors whose certainty of debt fulfillment is very high, hence their level of credit risk is very low. |
|  | B | Obligors whose certainty of debt fulfillment poses no problems for the foreseeable future, and their level of credit risk is low. |
|  | C | Obligors whose certainty of debt fulfillment and their level of credit risk pose no problems for the foreseeable future. |
|  | D | Obligors whose current certainty of debt fulfillment poses no problems, however, their resistance to future economic environmental changes is low. |
| Watch | E1 | Obligors that require observation going forward because of either minor concerns regarding their financial position, or their somewhat weak or unstable business conditions. |
|  | E2 | Obligors that require special observation going forward because of problems with their borrowings such as reduced or suspended interest payments, problems with debt fulfillment such as failure to make principal or interest payments, or problems with their financial position as a result of their weak or unstable business conditions. |
| Intensive control | F | Obligors that are not yet bankrupt but are in financial difficulties and are deemed likely to become bankrupt in the future because of insufficient progress in implementing their management improvement plans or other measures (including obligors that are receiving ongoing support from financial institutions). |
| Substantially bankrupt | G | Obligors that have not yet become legally or formally bankrupt but are substantially insolvent because they are in serious financial difficulties and are deemed to be incapable of being restructured. |
| Bankrupt | H | Obligors that have become legally or formally bankrupt. |

---

Notes:

(1) Special attention obligors are watch obligors with modified debt or 90 days or more delinquent debt. Loans to such obligors are considered nonaccrual.

(2) The Group classifies loans to special attention, intensive control, substantially bankrupt and bankrupt obligors as nonaccrual loans.

Note: The majority of total foreign consist of corporate.

Loans are generally carried at the principal amount adjusted for unearned income and deferred net nonrefundable loan fees and costs. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as an adjustment of yield using a method that approximates the interest method. Interest income on performing loans is accrued and credited to income as it is earned. Unearned income and discounts or premiums on purchased loans are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan using a method that approximates the interest method.

Unearned income and deferred loan fees was ¥284 billion and ¥278 billion at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Group uses, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral when recording the net carrying amounts of loans and determining the allowance for credit losses of such loans, for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, when the borrower is experiencing financial

difficulty based on the assessment as of the reporting date. As of September 30, 2025, collateral relating to these loans was primarily comprised of real estate. There were no significant changes in the extent to which collateral secures these loans during this period and no significant concentration of collateral against any portfolio segment.

Nonaccrual loans

Loans are considered nonaccrual when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the MHFG Group will be unable to collect all the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loans. Factors considered by management in determining if a loan is nonaccrual include delinquency status and the ability of the debtor to make payments of the principal and interest when due. The Group classifies loans to special attention, intensive control, substantially bankrupt and bankrupt obligors as nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans include loans past due for 90 days or more and modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. There are no loans that are 90 days past due and still accruing. The Group does not have any loans to borrowers that cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms for the periods presented other than those already designated as nonaccrual loans. The majority of nonaccrual loans have no contractual delinquency due to interest reductions and/or postponement of principal and interest.

In case loans are designated as nonaccrual loans, interest accruals and the amortization of net origination fees are suspended and capitalized interest is written off. Cash received on nonaccrual loans is accounted for as a reduction of the loan principal if the ultimate collectability of the principal amount is in doubt, otherwise, as interest income. Loans are not restored to accrual status until interest and principal payments are current and future payments are reasonably assured. Nonaccrual loans are restored to accrual loans and accrual status, when the MHFG Group determines that the borrower poses no concerns regarding current certainty of debt fulfillment. In general, such determination is made if the borrower qualifies for an obligor rating of E2 or above and is not classified as a special attention obligor. With respect to modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, in general, such loans are restored to accrual loans, and accrual status, when the borrower qualifies for an obligor rating of D or above. The table below presents nonaccrual loans information at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, and interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025:

Regulatory capital requirements

MHFG, MHBK, and MHTB are subject to regulatory capital requirements supervised by the Financial Services Agency in accordance with the provisions of Japan's Banking Act and related regulations. Certain foreign banking subsidiaries are subject to regulation and control by local supervisory authorities, including central banks. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the MHFG Group's consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Notes:

(1) The required ratios described above, at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, include the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, the countercyclical capital buffer of 0.11% and 0.12%, respectively, and the additional loss absorbency requirements for global systemically important banks ("G-SIBs") and domestic systemically important banks ("D-SIBs") of 1.00%, which are all in addition to the regulatory minima. The respective required amounts are determined by applying the ratios to the sum of the risk weighted assets.

(2) The required and actual amounts described above at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 exclude amounts of deposits to the Bank of Japan.

(3) The required ratios described above, at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, include a leverage ratio buffer required to be met at 50% of the additional loss absorbency requirements applied to the Group as a G-SIB under the finalized Basel III reforms.

MHFG's securities subsidiary in Japan is also subject to the capital adequacy requirement under Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Failure to maintain a minimum capital ratio will trigger mandatory regulatory actions.

The statutory tax rate was 30.62% as of both September 30, 2024 and 2025. The effective tax rates, 29.42% and 23.93% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, differed from the statutory tax rates. The difference between the tax rates for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was immaterial. The difference between the tax rates for the six months ended September 30, 2025 resulted mainly from the effect of noncontrolling interest income of consolidated VIEs.

At September 30, 2025, the MHFG Group had net operating loss carryforwards totaling ¥400 billion.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was ¥5,342 million at September 30, 2025, which would, if recognized, affect the Group's effective tax rate. The Group classifies interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized tax benefits as Income tax expense.

An immaterial portion of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2025 was resolved in the six months period ended September 30, 2025. The amount of additional unrecognized tax benefits for the period was also immaterial. The MHFG Group does not anticipate that increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months would have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2024, based on various approvals, MHFG and certain domestic subsidiaries communicated to their employees an amendment to the defined benefit plans that was effective as of July 1, 2024. In accordance with ASC 715, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits" ("ASC 715"), any change in projected benefit obligations due to a plan amendment is required to be recognized as prior service benefits (cost) as of the amendment date. Accordingly, the MHFG Group recognized ¥9,360 million of prior service benefits for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

13. Derivative financial instruments

The MHFG Group enters into derivative financial instruments in response to the diverse needs of customers, to manage the risk related to the assets and liabilities of the Group, as part of its asset and liability management, and for proprietary trading purposes. The Group is exposed primarily to market risk associated with interest rate, commodity, foreign currency, and equity products. Market risk arises from changes in market prices or indices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates that may result in an adverse change in the market value of the financial instrument or an increase in its funding costs. Exposure to market risk is managed by imposing position limits and monitoring procedures and by initiating hedging transactions. In addition to market risk, the Group is exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty default or nonperformance in respect of transactions. Counterparty credit risk arises when a counterparty fails to perform according to the terms and conditions of the contract and the value of the underlying collateral held, if applicable, is not sufficient to recover resulting losses. The exposure to counterparty credit risk is measured by the fair value of all derivatives and its potential exposure at the balance sheet dates. The exposure to counterparty credit risk is managed by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements to mitigate the overall counterparty credit risk, requiring underlying collateral and guarantees based on an individual credit analysis of each obligor and evaluating the credit features of each instrument. In addition, credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures are also imposed.

Notes:

(1) Notional amount includes the sum of gross long and gross short third-party contracts.

(2) Derivative receivables and payables are recorded in Trading account assets and Trading account liabilities, respectively.

The MHFG Group provided and/or accepted cash collateral for derivative transactions under master netting agreements. The cash collateral, which was not offset against derivative positions, was included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, of which the amounts were ¥1,667 billion and ¥1,380 billion at March 31, 2025, and ¥1,692 billion and ¥1,526 billion at September 30, 2025, respectively.

#### Hedging activities
In order to qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be considered highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. Each derivative must be designated as a hedge, with documentation of the risk management objective and strategy, including identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item and the risk exposure, and how effectiveness is to be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The extent

#### MIZUHO FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
to which a hedging instrument is effective at achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows must be assessed at least quarterly. The MHFG Group's hedging activities include net investment hedges.

Net investment hedges

The MHFG Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt instruments to protect the value of net investments in non-Japanese subsidiaries from foreign currency exposure. Under net investment hedges, both derivatives and nonderivative financial instruments qualify as hedging instruments. The foreign currency-denominated debt instruments qualifying as hedging instruments include deposits and long-term debt, of which the carrying amounts of the portion designated as net investment hedges are included within the respective items in the consolidated balance sheets as well as relevant accompanying notes. For net investment hedges, the entire change in the fair value of a hedging derivative instrument or nonderivative hedging financial instrument is recorded in Foreign currency translation adjustments within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), provided that the hedging instrument is designated as a hedge of the net investment. The gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to net investment hedges were immaterial.

Derivative instruments not designated or qualifying as hedges

The MHFG Group enters into the following derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting with a view to implementing risk management strategies: (1) interest-rate swap transactions for the purpose of economically managing the interest-rate risks in deposits, loans, etc., (2) currency swap transactions for the purpose of economically managing the foreign exchange risk of these assets, (3) equity-related derivatives for the purpose of economically managing the risk of stock price fluctuation involved in holding equity products, and (4) credit derivatives for the purpose of economically managing the credit risk in loans, residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") and other similar assets. Such derivatives are accounted for as trading positions. The changes in fair value of these instruments are primarily recorded in Trading account gains (losses)—net, even though they are used to mitigate or transform the risk of exposures arising from banking activities. The net gains (losses) resulting from changes in the fair value of certain credit derivatives where the Group purchases protection to mitigate its credit risk exposure, related to its corporate loan portfolio, is recorded in Other noninterest income (expenses).

The following table summarizes gains and losses on derivatives not designated or qualifying as hedges during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025:

#### Credit derivatives
A credit derivative is a bilateral contract between a seller and a buyer of protection against the credit risk of a particular entity. Credit derivatives generally require that the seller of credit protection make payments to the buyer upon the occurrence of predefined credit events, which include bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the referenced entity. The MHFG Group either purchases or writes protection on either a single name or a portfolio of reference credits. The Group enters into credit derivatives to help mitigate credit risk in its corporate loan portfolio and other cash positions, to take proprietary trading positions, and to facilitate client transactions.

The notional amount of credit derivatives represents the maximum potential amount of future payments the seller could be required to make. If the predefined credit event occurs, the seller will generally have a right to collect on the underlying reference credit and the related cash flows, while being liable for the full notional amount of credit protection to the buyer. The Group manages credit risk associated with written protection by purchasing protection with identical or similar underlying reference credits, which substantially offsets its exposure. Thus, the notional amount is not necessarily a reliable indicator of the Group's actual loss exposure.

The following table summarizes the notional and fair value amounts of credit derivatives at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2025 |
|  | Notional amount | Fair value | Notional amount | Fair value |
|  | (in billions of yen) | (in billions of yen) | (in billions of yen) | (in billions of yen) |
| Credit protection written: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investment grade | 9201 | 59 | 9551 | 68 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-investment grade | 6549 | 106 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4561 | 65 |
| Total | 15750 | 164 | 14113 | 134 |
| Credit protection purchased | 18097 | (129) | 16318 | (92) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Note: | The rating scale is based upon either the external ratings or the internal ratings of the underlying reference credit. The lowest investment grade rating is considered to be BBB-, while anything below or unrated is considered to be non-investment grade. Non-investment grade credit derivatives primarily consist of unrated credit default swap indices such as CDX and iTraxx.  |

The following table shows the maximum potential amount of future payments for credit protection written by expiration period at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

| One year or less | 1173 | 1236 |
| After one year through five years | 13125 | 11089 |
| After five years | 1452 | 1788 |
| Total | 15750 | 14113 |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Note: | The maximum potential amount of future payments is the aggregate notional amount of the credit derivatives where the Group wrote the credit protection, and it has not been reduced by the effect of any amounts that the Group may possibly collect on the underlying assets and the related cash flows, nor netted against that of credit protection purchased.  |

#### Credit-related contingent features
Certain of the MHFG Group's derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Group's debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from the major credit rating agencies. If the Group's debt credit rating were to fall below investment grade, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments which are in net liability positions for the Group.

The following table shows the quantitative information about derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

14. Commitments and contingencies

Obligations under guarantees

The MHFG Group provides guarantees or indemnifications to counterparties to enhance their credit standing and enable them to complete a variety of business transactions. A guarantee represents an obligation to make payments to third parties if the counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation under a borrowing arrangement or other contractual obligation.

The Group records all guarantees and similar obligations subject to ASC 460, "Guarantees" ("ASC 460") at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets at the inception of the guarantee.

The table below summarizes the maximum potential amount of future payments by type of guarantee at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The maximum potential amount of future payments disclosed below represents the contractual amounts that could be required to be repaid in the event of the guarantees being executed, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held. With respect to written options included in derivative financial instruments in the table below, in theory, the MHFG Group is exposed to unlimited losses; therefore, the table shows the notional amounts of the contracts as a substitute for the maximum exposure.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | 7721 | 8401 |

---

Note: Investment grade in the internal rating scale generally corresponds to BBB- or above in the external rating scale.

Other off-balance-sheet instruments

In addition to guarantees, the MHFG Group issues other off-balance-sheet instruments to its customers, such as lending-related commitments and commercial letters of credit. Under the terms of these arrangements, the MHFG Group is required to extend credit or make certain payments upon the customers' requests.

The table below summarizes the contractual amounts with regard to these undrawn commitments at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | March 31,<br> 2025 | September 30,<br> 2025 |

| Commitments to extend credit <sup>(Note)</sup> | 119733 | 120772 |
| Commercial letters of credit | 1829 | 1574 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | 121562 | 122345 |

---

Note: Commitments to extend credit include commitments to invest in securities.

Legal proceedings and investigations

The MHFG Group is involved in normal collection proceedings initiated by the Group, other legal proceedings and investigations in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies" ("ASC 450"), the Group recognizes a liability for loss contingencies arising from such proceedings and investigations when a loss is probable and the loss amount or the range of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, if a loss is reasonably possible but the range of loss is not probable and reasonably estimable, the Group does not recognize a liability but discloses the detail of such proceedings and investigations. Based on the information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, the Group believes that the outcome of the collection, legal proceedings and investigations will not have a significant adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

15. Variable interest entities and securitizations

#### Variable interest entities
In the normal course of business, the MHFG Group is involved with VIEs primarily through the following types of transactions: asset-backed commercial paper/loan programs, asset-backed securitizations, investments in

------

#### **Table of Contents**

#### MIZUHO FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
securitization products, investment funds, trust arrangements, and structured finance. The Group consolidates certain of these VIEs, where the Group is deemed to be the primary beneficiary because it has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Group reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis as long as the Group has any continuing involvement with the VIE. There are also other VIEs, where the Group has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary but has significant variable interests. In evaluating the significance of the variable interests, the Group takes into consideration the extent of its involvement with each VIE, such as the seniority of its investments, the share of its holding in each tranche and the variability it expects to absorb, as well as other relevant facts and circumstances. The likelihood of loss is not necessarily relevant to the determination of significance, and therefore, "significant" does not imply that there is high likelihood of loss. The maximum exposure to loss that is discussed in this section refers to the maximum loss that the Group could possibly be required to record in its consolidated statements of income as a result of its involvement with the VIEs. This represents exposures associated with both on-balance-sheet assets and off-balance-sheet liabilities related to the VIEs. Further, this maximum potential loss is disclosed regardless of the probability of such losses and, therefore, it is not indicative of the ongoing exposure which is managed within the Group's risk management framework.

The table below shows the consolidated assets of the MHFG Group's consolidated VIEs as well as total assets and maximum exposure to loss for its significant unconsolidated VIEs, in which the Group has determined that its maximum exposure to loss is greater than specific thresholds or meets certain other criteria as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs amounted to ¥389 billion and ¥448 billion, respectively, and are included in the MHFG Group's equity-classified noncontrolling interests.

The MHFG Group has not provided financial or other support to consolidated or unconsolidated VIEs that the Group was not previously contractually required to provide.

The tables below present the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities on the MHFG Group's balance sheets that relate to its variable interests in significant unconsolidated VIEs, as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

In the table above the nature of the MHFG Group's variable interest can take different forms, as described further in the notes below. Additionally, the Group's exposure to the obligations of VIEs is generally limited to its interest in these entities. In certain instances the Group provides undrawn commitments to the VIEs.

The MHFG Group's maximum exposure to loss presented in the table above does not include the benefit of offsetting financial instruments that are held to mitigate the risks associated with these variable interests. Furthermore, the Group's maximum exposure to loss presented in the table above is not reduced by the amount of collateral held as part of the transaction with the VIE or any party to the VIE directly against a specific exposure to loss.

Asset-backed commercial paper/loan programs

The MHFG Group manages several asset-backed commercial paper/loan programs that provide its clients with off-balance-sheet and/or cost-effective financing. The VIEs used in the programs purchase financial assets, primarily receivables, from clients participating in the programs and provide liquidity through the issuance of commercial paper or borrowings from the Group backed by the financial assets. While customers normally continue to service the transferred receivables, the Group underwrites, distributes, and makes a market in

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
commercial paper issued by the conduits. The Group typically provides program-wide liquidity and credit support facilities and, in some instances, financing to the VIEs. The Group has the power to determine which assets will be held by the VIEs and has an obligation to monitor these assets. The Group is also responsible for liability management. In addition, through the liquidity and credit support facilities provided to the VIEs, the Group has the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the Group consolidates such VIEs.

Asset-backed securitizations

The MHFG Group acts as an arranger of various types of structured finance schemes to meet its clients' needs for off-balance-sheet financing. In substantially all of these structured financing transactions, the transfer of the financial asset by the client is structured to be bankruptcy remote by use of a bankruptcy remote entity, which is deemed to be a VIE because its equity holder does not have decision making rights. The Group receives fees for structuring and/or distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Group itself purchases the securities issued by the entities and/or provides loans to the VIEs.

In addition, the MHFG Group establishes several single-issue and multi-issue special purpose entities that issue collateralized debt obligations ("CDO") or CLO, synthetic CDO/CLO or other repackaged instruments to meet clients' and investors' financial needs. The Group also arranges securitization transactions including CMBS, RMBS and others. In these transactions, the Group acts as an underwriter, placement agent, asset manager, derivatives counterparty, and/or investor in debt and equity instruments.

In these cases, the MHFG Group considers that these variable interests are not significant as the Group does not have material balance sheet or off-balance exposure at risk related to these variable interests. However, when the Group has invested in securities issued by the VIEs and/or provides loans to the VIEs and its investment is most part of shares, such variable interests are deemed to be "significant." In certain VIEs, where the Group provides liquidity and credit support facilities, writes credit protection or invests in debt or equity instruments in its role as an arranger, servicer, administrator or asset manager, etc., the Group has the power to determine which assets will be held by the VIEs or to manage and monitor these assets. In addition, through the variable interests above, the Group has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the Group consolidates such VIEs.

The MHFG Group manages Tender Option Bond ("TOB") programs which are associated with trusts that hold highly-rated, fixed-rate and tax-exempt municipal bonds. The trust finances the purchase of their municipal bonds by issuing two types of certificates: (1) short-term puttable and floating-rate certificates ("floaters"), typically purchased by money market funds and (2) certificates that earn all excess cash flow received by the trust after floaters and fees are paid ("residuals"), purchased by the transferor of the municipal bond to the trust as a sponsor. The Group is engaged in two types of TOB trusts: customer TOB trusts and non-customer TOB trusts. Customer TOB trusts are those for which the residuals are purchased by customers of the Group, whereas the residuals issued by non-customer TOB trusts are purchased by the Group. Both types of TOB trusts are deemed to be VIEs because its equity holder does not have decision making rights. The Group considers that it is a "significant" variable interest when the Group has the residuals as a sponsor and/or provides liquidity and credit support facilities. The Group often commits to provide liquidity to customer TOB trusts and the residual holders of customer TOB trusts are obligated to reimburse the Group for any payment the Group makes under those liquidity and credit support facilities. In non-customer TOB trusts, where the Group holds the residuals as a sponsor, the Group has the power to determine which assets will be held by the VIEs or to manage and monitor these assets. In addition, through the variable interests above, the Group has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could

------

#### MIZUHO FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the Group consolidates such VIEs. Customer TOB trusts are not consolidated in the financial statements of the Group, as the residuals are held by customers and the Group does not have power to determine which assets will be held by the VIEs or to manage and monitor these assets.

Investments in securitization products

The MHFG Group invests in, among other things, various types of CDO/CLO, synthetic CDO/CLO and repackaged instruments, CMBS and RMBS arranged by third parties for the purpose of generating current income or capital appreciation, which all utilize entities that are deemed to be VIEs. By design, such investments were investment grade at issuance and held by a diverse group of investors. The potential loss amounts of the securities and the loans are generally limited to the amounts invested because the Group has no contractual involvement in such VIEs beyond its investments. Since the Group is involved in these VIEs only as an investor, the Group does not ordinarily have the power to direct the VIEs' activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance. Similar to the criteria noted in the asset-backed securitization section, the Group views this investment activity to be "significant" when it has a large investment share and/or provides loans to the VIEs. The Group consolidates VIEs, where the transactions are tailored by the third-party arrangers to meet the Group's needs as a main investor, who is ultimately deemed to have the power to determine which assets are to be held by the VIEs. The Group also invests in certain beneficial interests issued by VIEs which hold real estate that the Group utilizes. In addition to these variable interests, when the Group has the power including the sole unilateral ability to liquidate the VIEs, the Group consolidates such VIEs.

Investment funds

The MHFG Group invests in various investment funds, including securities investment trusts, which collectively invest in equity and debt securities that include listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds. Investment advisory companies or fund management companies, including the Group's subsidiaries and affiliates, administer and make investment decisions about such investment funds. The Group considers that it is a "significant" variable interest when the Group's investment share is greater than threshold. The Group consolidates certain investment funds where it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

The MHFG Group determines whether it is the primary beneficiary by evaluating whether it has both (1) the power to make investment decisions about the investment funds and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the investment funds. The Group consolidates certain investment funds where it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Trust arrangements

The MHFG Group offers a variety of asset management and administration services under trust arrangements including security investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used in the securitization of assets originated by and transferred to third parties. The Group receives trust fees for providing services as an agent or fiduciary on behalf of beneficiaries. In these cases, the Group considers that these variable interests are not significant except for its specific involvement as noted below.

With respect to guaranteed principal money trust products, the MHFG Group assumes certain risks by providing guarantees for the repayment of principal as required by the trust agreements or relevant Japanese legislation. The Group manages entrusted funds primarily through the origination of high-quality loans and other credit-related products, investing in investment grade marketable securities such as Japanese government bonds and

#### MIZUHO FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
placing cash with the Group's subsidiary trust banks. The Group has the power to determine which assets will be held by the VIEs or to manage these assets. In addition, through the principal guarantee agreements, the Group has the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, the Group consolidates such VIEs. However, the Group does not consolidate certain guaranteed principal money trusts, which invest all the entrusted funds in the Group itself, as the Group has determined that it has no variable interests. See Note 14 "Commitments and contingencies" for the balances of guaranteed trust principal that are not consolidated at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

With respect to non-guaranteed trust arrangements, the MHFG Group manages and administers assets on behalf of its customers (trust beneficiaries) in the capacity of a trustee and fiduciary. For substantially all non-guaranteed trust arrangements, the Group generally does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance or has neither the obligation to absorb losses nor the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, such trust accounts are not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The MHFG Group established a trust in August 2020, which holds the Group's housing loans and in turn issues beneficiary interests to the Group. The Group pledges the beneficiary interests as a collateral for borrowing from the Bank of Japan. In its role as a servicer, the Group has power to direct the entity's activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance by managing mortgage loans owned by a trust. The Group considers that it is a "significant" variable interest since the Group can determine which assets will be held by the VIE. In addition, through the beneficiary interest, the Group has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Group consolidates the VIE.

Special purpose entities created for structured finance

The MHFG Group is involved in real estate, commercial aircraft and other vessel and machinery and equipment financing to VIEs and financing in securitized receivable. As the Group typically only provides senior financing with credit enhanced by subordinated interests and may sometimes act as an interest rate swap counterparty, the Group has determined that it does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance, or it does not have significant variable interests. Therefore, the Group does not consolidate such VIEs.

#### Securitization
The MHFG Group engages in securitization activities and securitizes mortgage loans, other loans, government and corporate securities and other types of financial assets in the normal course of business. In these securitization transactions, the Group records the transfer of a financial asset as a sale when all the accounting criteria for a sale under ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing" ("ASC860") are met. These criteria are (1) the transferred financial assets are legally isolated from the Group's creditors, (2) the transferee or beneficial interest holder has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred financial assets, and (3) the Group does not maintain effective control over the transferred financial assets. If all the criteria are not met, the transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, the MHFG Group neither made significant transfers of financial assets nor recognized significant gains or losses in securitization transactions accounted for as sales. Therefore, the Group did not have significant assets obtained as proceeds and significant liabilities incurred in the transfer. The Group did not recognize significant continuing involvement and retain significant interests in securitization transactions accounted for as sales as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

Notes:

(1) These amounts are revenues from contracts within the scope of ASC 606, "Revenue from contracts with customers" ("ASC 606").

(2) Part of these amounts are considered to be revenues from contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606.

(3) These amounts are revenues from contracts that do not meet the scope of ASC 606.

(4) Most of the lending-related fees such as commitment fees and arrangement fees are not within the scope of ASC 606.

(5) These amounts include the net unrealized gains resulting from changes in fair values of structured notes that contain embedded derivatives. See Note 17 "Fair value" for further details.

Certain Fee and commission income, Trading account gains (losses)-net and Other noninterest income outlined in the table above are considered to be revenues from contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606. The MHFG Group disaggregates Fee and commission income, which is the main part of revenues within the scope of ASC 606, by type of business or service in the table above.

Fee and commission income

For the MHFG Group's accounting policy for the recognition of Fee and commission income, see Note 1 "Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies" to the consolidated financial statements in the Group's most recent Form 20-F.

Trust-related business fees consist of trust fees earned primarily through fiduciary asset management and administrative service and other trust-related fees, which amounted to ¥28 billion and ¥36 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and ¥30 billion and ¥36 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Trading account gains (losses)—net and Other noninterest income

In addition to Fee and commission income, Trading account gains (losses)-net and Other noninterest income include certain revenues within the scope of ASC 606. Underwriting fees from trading securities, which amounted to ¥58 billion and ¥54 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, are within the scope of ASC 606 and accounted for in Trading account gains (losses)-net. Underwriting fees are primarily recognized on the date which all the considerations of the transaction are fixed. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, approximately ¥14 billion and ¥14 billion, respectively, of Other noninterest income were within the scope of ASC 606. Credit card interchange fees are within the scope of ASC 606 and accounted for in Other noninterest income. Credit card interchange fees are earned on credit card transactions conducted through payment networks and recognized upon settlement of the credit card payment transactions.

Contract balances relating to revenues from contracts with customers subject to ASC 606

Contract assets and receivables from contracts with customers subject to ASC 606 are recognized in Accrued income or accounts receivable of Other assets. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the balance of contract assets was not material. Contract liabilities are recognized in unearned income of Other liabilities. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the balance of contract liabilities was not material.

Remaining performance obligations relating to revenues from contracts with customers subject to ASC 606

Remaining performance obligations are services that the MHFG Group has committed to provide in the future in connection with its contracts with customers. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the amount of expected revenues from current obligations to provide services in the future was not material. It excludes revenues from contracts less than one year or contracts that have provisions that allow the Group to recognize revenue at the amount it has the right to invoice.

17. Fair value

#### Fair value measurements
ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In addition, ASC 820 precludes (1) the deferral of gains and losses at inception of certain derivative contracts whose fair value was not evidenced by market-observable data, and (2) the use of block discounts when measuring the fair value of instruments traded in an active market, which were previously applied to large holdings of publicly traded financial instruments.

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
Fair value hierarchy

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market. |
| Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. If no quoted market prices are available, the fair values of debt securities and over-the-counter derivative contracts in this category are determined using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. |

---

Valuation process

The MHFG Group has established valuation policies which govern the principles of fair value measurements and the authority and duty of each department. The Group has also established procedure manuals which describe valuation techniques and related inputs for determining the fair values of various financial instruments. The policies require that the measurement of fair values be carried out in accordance with the procedures performed by the risk management departments or the back offices which are independent from the front offices. The policies also require the risk management departments to assess whether the valuation methodologies defined in the procedure manuals are fair and proper and the internal audit departments to periodically review the compliance with the procedures throughout the Group. Although the valuation methodologies and related inputs are consistently applied from period to period, a change in the market environment sometimes leads to a change in the valuation methodologies and the inputs. For instance, a change in market liquidity due to a delisting or a new listing is one of the key drivers of revisions to the valuation methodologies and the inputs. The key drivers also include the availability or the lack of market observable inputs and the development of new valuation methodologies. Price verification performed through the Group's internal valuation process has an important role in identifying whether the valuation methodologies and the inputs need to be changed. The internal valuation process over the prices broker-dealers provide, primarily for Japanese securitization products, is described in more detail below in Available-for-sale securities. A change in the valuation methodologies and/or the inputs requires the revision of the valuation policies and procedure manuals, which is required to be approved by the appropriate authority, either the CEO, the head of risk management, and/or the head of accounting, depending on the nature and characteristics of the change.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy and the MHFG Group's valuation techniques used to measure fair values. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, there were no significant changes made to the Group's valuation techniques and related inputs.

Trading securities and trading securities sold, not yet purchased

When quoted prices for identical securities are available in an active market, the Group uses the quoted prices to measure the fair values of securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds and equity securities. When quoted prices for identical securities are available, but not actively traded, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When no quoted market prices are available, the Group estimates fair values by using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market and such securities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 securities include Japanese local government bonds, corporate bonds, and commercial paper. When less liquid market conditions exist for securities, the quoted prices are stale or the prices from independent sources vary significantly, such securities are generally classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of securitization products such as RMBS, CMBS, ABS, and CLO are determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow model. The key inputs used for the model include prepayment rates, default rates, recovery rates, and discount margin. Though most securitization products are classified in Level 2, if the significant inputs are unobservable or cannot be corroborated by observable market data, these financial instruments are classified in Level 3.

Hedge funds the Group invests in are primarily multi-strategy funds that employ a fundamental bottom-up investment approach across various asset classes globally. Hedge funds are measured at the net asset value ("NAV") per share and the Group has the ability to redeem its investment with the investees at the NAV per share at the measurement date or within the near term. Private equity funds have specific investment objectives in connection with their acquisition of equity interests in new and emerging firms in need of capital. Employing venture capital strategies, they provide financing and other support to start-up businesses, medium and small entities in particular geographical areas, and to companies with certain technologies or companies in high-growth industries. Real estate funds invest globally and primarily in real estate companies, debt recapitalizations and direct property. Private equity funds and real estate funds are measured using the NAV per share practical expedient and the Group does not have the ability to redeem its investment in the investees at the NAV per share at the measurement date or within the near term. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the funds would be liquidated within a ten-year period.

Derivative financial instruments

Exchange-traded derivatives are valued using quoted market prices and consequently are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. However, the majority of derivatives entered into by the Group are executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices are available for such instruments. The valuation techniques depend on the type of derivatives. The principal techniques used to value these instruments are discounted cash flow models and the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which are widely accepted in the financial services industry. The key inputs vary by the type of derivatives and the nature of the underlying instruments and include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, the spot price of the underlying, volatility and correlation. Each item is classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Level 2 derivatives include plain vanilla interest rate and currency swaps and option contracts. Derivative contracts valued using significant unobservable correlation or volatility are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the Group records credit-risk valuation adjustments on over-the-counter derivatives to reflect the credit quality of its counterparties. The Group calculates these credit-risk valuation adjustments using modeled expected exposure, and default probabilities and severity factors that are developed from market credit spreads and other related market information. Also, the Group records funding valuation adjustments to reflect the impact of funding on uncollateralized over-the-counter derivatives and derivatives where the Group is not permitted to use the collateral received, and

------

#### MIZUHO FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

#### NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
is recognized where there is evidence that a market participant would incorporate the adjustment into the transfer of the instrument. The Group calculates these funding valuation adjustments incorporating the expected future funding requirements arising from the Group's positions and the estimated market funding cost which considers the Group's credit risk. The Group measures these valuation adjustments based on net exposure of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities to credit risk.

Available-for-sale securities

The fair values of available-for-sale securities are determined primarily using the same procedures described under trading securities above. Since private placement bonds have no quoted market prices, the fair values of such bonds are estimated based on a discounted cash flow model using interest rates approximating the current rates for instruments with similar maturities and credit risk. Private placement bonds are classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model, such as credit risk. The fair values of securitization products such as RMBS, CMBS and ABS are generally based upon single non-binding quoted prices from broker-dealers. Such quotes are validated through the Group's internal processes and controls. In rare instances where the Group finds the quoted prices to be invalid through its internal valuation process, it adjusts those prices or alternatively estimates their fair values by using a discounted cash flow model to incorporate the Group's estimates of key inputs such as the most recent value of each underlying asset, cash flows of the underlying assets, and discount margin. The validation of such prices varies depending on the nature and type of the products. For the majority of RMBS and ABS, broker quotes are validated by investigating significant unusual monthly valuation fluctuations and comparing to prices internally computed through discounted cash flow models using assumptions and parameters provided by brokers such as the cash flows of underlying assets, yield curve, prepayment speed and credit spread. For the majority of CMBS, the Group validates broker quotes through a review process that includes the investigation of significant unusual monthly valuation fluctuations and/or a review of underlying assets with significant differences between the valuations of the Group and the broker-dealers being identified. Though most securitization products are classified in Level 2, if the significant inputs are unobservable or cannot be corroborated by observable market data, these financial instruments are classified in Level 3.

Equity securities

Equity securities mainly consist of marketable equity securities. The fair values of the marketable equity securities are based upon quoted market prices for identical equity securities trading as securities in an active market. Equity securities also include investments in certain investment funds measured using the NAV per share practical expedient including private equity funds and real estate funds. These securities are determined primarily using the same procedures described under Trading securities and trading securities sold, not yet purchased above.

Other investments

Other investments consist of investments held by consolidated investment companies. These companies typically hold investments in marketable and non-marketable equity securities and debt securities. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is based upon quoted market prices. The fair value of the non-marketable equity securities is based upon significant management judgment, as very limited quoted prices exist. When evaluating such securities, the Group firstly considers recent market transactions of identical securities, if applicable. Thereafter, the Group uses commonly accepted valuation techniques such as earnings multiples based on comparable public securities. Non-marketable equity securities are generally classified in Level 3 of the fair

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
value hierarchy. The fair value of the debt securities is estimated using a discounted cash flow model, since they have no quoted market prices. Those debt securities are classified in Level 3, because the credit risk is unobservable.

Other assets

Other assets measured at fair value mainly consist of securities received as collateral that may be sold or repledged under securities lending transactions. The securities received as collateral under lending transactions mainly consist of certain foreign government bonds and securitization products which are valued using the valuation techniques described under Trading securities and trading securities sold, not yet purchased above.

Long-term debt and Other short-term borrowings

Fair value accounting is elected for certain debt instruments with embedded derivatives. The fair values are determined using a discounted cash flow model that considers the embedded derivatives and the terms and payment structures of the notes. The fair values of the derivatives embedded in such notes are primarily derived by using the same procedures described in Derivative financial instruments above. Such notes are classified in Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs into the model used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives. The Group also measures certain notes that contain embedded derivatives at fair value under the practicability exception. For these instruments, fair value is based on quoted prices for identical debt traded as a security in inactive markets. These instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities measured at fair value consist of obligation to return securities received as collateral under securities lending transactions, which are measured at the fair value of the securities received as collateral. The securities consist primarily of certain foreign government bonds and securitization products, whose fair values are measured using the valuation techniques described under Trading securities and trading securities sold, not yet purchased above.

Notes:

(1) Total Level 3 derivative exposures have been netted on the table for presentation purposes only.

(2) Gains (losses) in Earnings are reported in Trading account gains (losses)-net, Foreign exchange gains (losses)-net or Other noninterest income (expenses).

(3) Gains (losses) in Earnings are reported in Investment gains (losses)-net.

(4) Gains (losses) in OCI are reported in Other comprehensive income (loss).

(5) Gains (losses) in Earnings are reported in Other noninterest income (expenses).

(6) Amounts represent total gains or losses recognized in earnings and other comprehensive income (loss) during the period. These gains or losses were attributable to the change in fair value relating to assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 that were still held at September 30, 2024 and 2025. The amounts of unrealized gains (losses) in other comprehensive income (loss) are related to Available-for-sale securities and Long-term debt, which were ¥(2) billion and ¥3 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2024, and ¥(2) billion and ¥0 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2025.

Transfers between levels

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the transfers into Level 3 included ¥7 billion of Long-term debt. Transfers into Level 3 for Long-term debt were primarily due to the decrease in the observability of the default rate when valuing certain structured notes. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the transfers out of Level 3 included ¥3 billion of Trading securities and ¥2 billion of Other investments. Transfers out of Level 3 for Trading securities were primarily due to increased price transparency for certain foreign bonds. Transfers out of Level 3 for Other investments were primarily due to increased price transparency for certain investments.

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, the transfers out of Level 3 included ¥1 billion of Trading securities, ¥3 billion of Available-for-sale securities and ¥1 billion of Long-term debt. Transfers out of Level 3 for Trading securities were primarily due to increased price transparency for certain foreign bonds. Transfers out of Level 3 for Available-for-sale securities were primarily due to increased price transparency for certain Foreign corporate bonds and other debt securities. Transfers out of Level 3 for Long-term debt were primarily due to the increase in the observability of the default rate when valuing certain structured notes.

Notes:

(1) These inputs are mainly used for determining the fair values of securitization products such as CDO, CLO and ABS, other than RMBS and CMBS.

(2) This input is mainly used for determining the fair values of Japanese corporate bonds.

(3) Internal valuation model includes discounted cash flow models and the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(4) Averages are calculated by weighting each input by the relative fair value of the respective financial instruments except for derivative related inputs where medians are used.

(5) The range of inputs for equity securities is not disclosed, as there is a dispersion of values given the number of positions.

Uncertainty of fair value measurements relating to unobservable inputs and interrelationships among unobservable inputs

The following is a description of the uncertainty of the fair value measurements from the use of significant unobservable inputs and a description of interrelationships of the significant unobservable inputs used to measure the fair values of Level 3 assets and liabilities.

(1) Prepayment rate

The prepayment rate is the estimated rate at which voluntary unscheduled repayments of the principal of the underlying assets are expected to occur. The movement of the prepayment rate is generally negatively correlated with borrower delinquency. A change in prepayment rate would impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments either positively or negatively, depending on the structure of financial instruments.

(2) Default rate

The default rate is an estimate of the likelihood of not collecting contractual payments. An increase in the default rate would generally be accompanied by a decrease in the recovery rate and an increase in the discount margin. It would also generally impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments negatively.

(3) Recovery rate

The recovery rate is an estimate of the percentage of contractual payments that would be collected in the event of a default. An increase in recovery rate would generally be accompanied by a decrease in the default rate. It would also generally impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments positively.

(4) Discount margin

The discount margin is the portion of the interest rate over a benchmark market interest rate such as Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") or swap rates. It primarily consists of a risk premium component which is the amount of compensation that market participants require due to the uncertainty inherent in the financial instruments' cash flows resulting from credit risk. An increase in discount margin would generally impact the valuation of the fair values of financial instruments negatively.

(5) Correlation

Correlation is the likelihood of the movement of one input relative to another based on an established relationship. The change in correlation would impact the valuation of derivatives either positively or negatively, depending on the nature of the underlying assets.

(6) Volatility

Volatility is a measure of the expected change in variables over a fixed period of time. Some financial instruments benefit from an increase in volatility and others benefit from a decrease in volatility. Generally, for a long position in an option, an increase in volatility would result in an increase in the fair values of financial instruments.

Items measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities primarily include items that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value, and items that were initially measured at cost and have been written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for these items as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025:

Note: The fair values may not be current as of the dates indicated, but rather as of the date the fair value change occurred. Accordingly, the carrying values may not equal current fair value.

Loans in the table above are classified as nonaccrual and are measured based upon the observable market price of the loan, which are classified as Level 2, or the fair value of the underlying collateral, which are classified as Level 3.

Loans held-for-sale in the table above are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value at the end of the period. The items for which fair values are determined by using actual or contractually determined selling price data are classified as Level 2. Due to the lack of current observable market information, the determination of the fair values for items other than the aforementioned may require significant adjustment based upon management judgment and estimation, which results in such items being classified in Level 3 of the hierarchy. Loans held-for-sale classified as Level 3 were measured at fair value based on market comparables. The significant unobservable inputs were price, with a price of ¥80.0 and ¥99.7 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Equity securities (without readily determinable fair values) in the table above consist of non-marketable equity securities which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, using the measurement alternative for

non-marketable equity securities. These equity securities are on a nonrecurring basis either (1) written down to fair value as a result of impairment or (2) adjusted upward or downward to fair value as a result of transactions observed for the identical or similar securities of the same issuer. The fair values of the impaired non-marketable equity securities are determined primarily by using a liquidation value technique. As significant management judgment or estimation is required in the determination of the fair values of non-marketable equity securities, they are classified as Level 3. The fair values of non-marketable equity securities adjusted based on observed transaction prices are mainly classified as Level 2.

Other investments in the table above include certain equity method investments which have been impaired and written down to fair value. The fair values of the impaired marketable equity method investments are determined by their quoted market prices. As the securities are traded on an active exchange market, they are classified as Level 1. The fair values of the impaired non-marketable equity method investments are determined primarily by using a liquidation value technique. As significant management judgment or estimation is required in the determination of the fair values of non-marketable equity method investments, they are classified as Level 3. Other investments were not measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2025.

Premises and equipment–net and Other assets in the table above have been impaired and written down to fair value. Other assets include premises and equipment classified as held for sale. Premises and equipment–net were not measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2025.

#### Fair value option
The MHFG Group elected the fair value option for certain eligible financial instruments described below.

Foreign currency denominated debt securities

The MHFG Group elected the fair value option for foreign currency denominated debt securities to mitigate the volatility in earnings due to the difference in the recognition of foreign exchange risk between foreign currency denominated debt securities and financial liabilities. Following the election of the fair value option, these debt securities are reported as trading securities in Trading account assets.

Certain hybrid financial instruments

The MHFG Group issues structured notes as part of its client-driven activities. Structured notes are debt instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The Group elected the fair value option for certain structured notes to mitigate accounting mismatches and to achieve operational simplifications. The fair value option has only been elected for part of the portfolio as the Group would not achieve operational simplifications. In addition, the Group measures certain notes that contain embedded derivatives at fair value under the practicability exception. These notes continue to be reported in Other short-term borrowings and Long-term debt. The interest on these notes continues to be reported in Interest expense on other short-term borrowings and long-term debt based on the contractual rates. Only an immaterial amount included in Other short-term borrowings and Long-term debt in the statement of financial position is not eligible for the fair value option. The differences between the aggregate fair value of these notes and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of such instruments were ¥109 billion and ¥157 billion at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The net unrealized gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair values of these notes recorded in Other noninterest income (expenses) were ¥(18) billion and ¥68 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in instrument-specific credit risk were estimated by incorporating the Company's current credit spreads observable in the bond market.

#### Fair value of financial instruments
ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" ("ASC 825"), requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of financial instruments is the amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Quoted market prices, if available, are best utilized as estimates of the fair values of financial instruments. However, since no quoted market prices are available for certain financial instruments, fair values for such financial instruments have been estimated based on management's assumptions, discounted cash flow models or other valuation techniques. Such estimation methods are described in more detail below. These estimates could be significantly affected by different sets of assumptions. There are certain limitations to management's best judgment in estimating fair values of financial instruments and inherent subjectivity involved in estimation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair value. Accordingly, the net realizable or liquidation values could be materially different from the estimates presented below.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value on the MHFG Group's consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, call loans and funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions

The carrying value of short-term financial assets, such as cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, call loans and funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions approximates the fair value of these assets since they generally involve limited losses from credit risk or have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates.

Investments

The fair value of held-to-maturity securities is determined primarily by using the same procedures and techniques described for trading securities and available-for-sale securities aforementioned in this Note. The fair value of non- marketable equity securities is not readily determinable, nor practicable to estimate, due to the lack of available information. Their carrying amounts of ¥602 billion and ¥596 billion at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively, were not included in the disclosure.

Loans

Loans have been fair valued based on the type of loan, credit quality, prepayment assumptions and remaining maturity. The fair value of loans is determined based on discounted cash flows using interest rates approximating the MHFG Group's current rates for similar loans. The fair value of collateral dependent nonaccrual loans is determined based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.

Other financial assets

The carrying value of other financial assets, which primarily consist of accounts receivable from brokers, dealers, and customers for securities transactions, accrued income and collateral provided for derivative transactions, approximates the fair value of these assets since they generally involve limited losses from credit risk or have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates. The majority of other financial assets are classified as Level 2, and all are included in the table in Note 6 "Other assets and liabilities."

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
Noninterest-bearing deposits, call money and funds purchased, and payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions

The carrying value of short-term financial liabilities, such as noninterest-bearing deposits, call money and funds purchased, and payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions approximates the fair value of these liabilities since they generally have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates.

Interest-bearing deposits

The carrying value of demand deposits approximates the fair value since it represents the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The fair value of time deposits and certificates of deposit is primarily estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates for instruments with similar maturities. The carrying value of short-term certificates of deposit approximates the fair value.

Due to trust accounts

The carrying value of due to trust accounts approximates the fair value since they generally have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates.

Other short-term borrowings

The carrying value of the majority of other short-term borrowings approximates the fair value since they generally have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates. The fair value of certain borrowings is estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates approximating the MHFG Group's incremental borrowing rates for instruments with similar maturities.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt is fair valued using quoted market prices, if available. Otherwise, the fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates approximating the MHFG Group's incremental borrowing rates for instruments with similar maturities.

Other financial liabilities

The carrying value of other financial liabilities, which primarily consist of accounts payable to brokers, dealers, and customers for securities transactions, accrued expenses and collateral accepted for derivative transactions, approximates the fair value since they generally have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates. The majority of other financial liabilities are classified as Level 2, and all are included in the table in Note 6 "Other assets and liabilities."

The fair value of certain off-balance-sheet financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit, was not considered material to the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, of certain financial instruments, excluding financial instruments which are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and those outside the scope of ASC 825 such as equity method investments as defined in ASC 323,

("ISDA") or similar agreements with counterparties to manage mainly credit risks associated with counterparty default. If the predetermined events including counterparty default occur, these enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements give the Group the right to offset derivative receivables and derivative payables and related financial collateral such as cash and securities with the same counterparty.

Repurchase and resale agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions

Repurchase and resale agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions are generally covered by industry standard master repurchase agreements and industry standard master securities lending agreements with netting terms to manage mainly credit risks associated with counterparty default. In the event of default by the counterparty, these agreements with netting terms provide the Group with the right to offset receivables and payables related to such transactions with the same counterparty, and to liquidate the collateral held.

| Note: | The above table does not include securities-for-securities lending transactions of ¥125 billion at March 31, 2025, and ¥126 billion at September 30, 2025, where the MHFG Group acts as lender and receives securities that can be sold or pledged as collateral. In these transactions, the Group recognizes the securities received at fair value within Other assets and the obligation to return those securities as a liability within Other liabilities.  |

---

The MHFG Group is required to post securities as collateral with a fair value equal to or in excess of the principal amount of the cash borrowed under repurchase agreements. For securities lending transactions, the Group receives collateral in the form of cash. These contracts involve risks, including (1) the counterparty may fail to return the securities at maturity and (2) the fair value of the securities posted may decline below the amount of the Group's obligation and therefore the counterparty may require additional amounts. The Group attempts to mitigate these risks by entering into transactions mainly with central counterparty clearing houses which revalue assets and perform margin maintenance activities on a regular basis, diversifying the maturities and counterparties, and using mainly highly liquid securities.

The amounts or composition of assets pledged as collateral for borrowings and for other purposes have not changed significantly since March 31, 2025. See Note 8 "Pledged assets and collateral" to the consolidated financial statements in the MHFG Group's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2025 for additional information.

20. Business segment information

The MHFG Group consists of the following five in-house companies which are categorized based on a customer segment: the Retail & Business Banking Company ("RBC"); the Corporate & Investment Banking Company ("CIBC"); the Global Corporate & Investment Banking Company ("GCIBC"); the Global Markets Company ("GMC"); and the Asset Management Company ("AMC"). These customer segments are regarded as operating segments and constitute reportable segments, and they reflect the manner in which our financial information is evaluated by the Group's Executive Management Committee, whose members act collectively as the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

The services that each in-house company provides are as follows.

RBC

This company provides financial services for individual customers, small and medium-sized enterprises and middle market firms in Japan.

CIBC

This company provides financial services for large corporations, financial institutions and public corporations in Japan.

GCIBC

This company provides financial services for Japanese overseas affiliated corporate customers and non-Japanese corporate customers.

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
GMC

This company invests in financial products with market risk, such as interest rate risk, equity risk, and credit risk.

AMC

This company develops financial products and provides financial services that match the asset management needs of its wide range of customers from individuals to institutional investors.

The reportable segment information, set forth below, is derived from the internal management reporting systems used by the CODM to assess the performance of the Group's operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each of the operating segments in accordance with internal managerial accounting rules and practices. The CODM's review of the reported measures of reportable segments includes evaluation of segment profitability and assessment of actual results compared to the budget. These measures are regularly provided to the CODM and are a component of a multifaceted decision-making process regarding segment performance as well as resource and capital allocation. In addition, the format and information are presented primarily on the basis of Japanese GAAP. Therefore, they are not consistent with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation is provided for the total amount of all business segments' "Net business profits (losses) + Net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others" with income before income tax expense under U.S. GAAP, and the total amount of all business segments' "Fixed assets" with the total amount of Premises and equipment-net, Goodwill, Intangible assets, and right-of-use assets related to operating leases included in Other assets reported under U.S. GAAP. "Fixed assets" pertaining to MHBK, MHTB, and MHSC have been allocated to each segment.

Notes:

(1) Income and expenses of foreign branches of MHBK and foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than Japanese Yen have been translated for purposes of segment reporting using the budgeted foreign currency rates. Prior period comparative amounts for such foreign currency income and expenses have been translated using current period budgeted foreign currency rates.

(2) "Gross profits + Net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others" is reported instead of sales reported by general corporations. Gross profits is defined as the sum of net interest income, fiduciary income, net fee and commission income, net trading income and net other operating income. Net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others consist of net gains (losses) on ETFs held by MHBK and MHTB on their non-consolidated basis and net gains (losses) on operating investment securities of MHSC on its consolidated basis. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others amounted to ¥40.8 billion and ¥44.1 billion, respectively, of which ¥37.2 billion and ¥40.1 billion are included in GMC, respectively.

(3) "General and administrative expenses" excludes non-allocated gains (losses), net, which primarily includes personnel expenses, depreciation expenses, and occupancy expenses. When the CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources, these expenses are regularly provided to the CODM in an aggregated form as "General and administrative expenses" and may be used, for example, to evaluate the expense ratio against segment profits and to compare them with the budgeted expense information.

(4) Net business profits (losses) is used in Japan as a measure of the profitability of core banking operations, and is defined as gross profits (as defined above) less general and administrative expenses (excluding non-allocated gains (losses), net) plus equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees—net less amortization of goodwill and others. Measurement of net business profits (losses) is required for regulatory reporting to the Financial Services Agency of Japan.

(5) "Fixed assets" is presented based on Japanese GAAP and corresponds to the total amount of the following U.S. GAAP accounts: Premises and equipment-net; Goodwill; Intangible assets; and right-of-use assets related to operating leases included in Other assets. The above table does not include other asset amounts because "Fixed assets" is the only balance sheet measure that the CODM uses when evaluating and making decisions pertaining to the operating segments. "Others" in "Fixed assets" includes assets of headquarters that have not been allocated to each segment, "Fixed assets" pertaining to consolidated subsidiaries that are not subject to allocation, consolidating adjustments, and others. Certain "Fixed assets" expenses have been allocated to each segment using reasonable allocation criteria.

(6) "Others" includes the following items:

• profits and expenses pertaining to consolidated subsidiaries that are not subject to allocation;

• consolidating adjustments, including elimination of internal transaction between each segment;

#### (Unaudited)—(Continued)
• equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees—net that are not subject to allocation; and

• profits and losses pertaining to derivative transactions that reflect the counterparty risk of the individual parties and other factors in determining fair market value.

Reconciliation

As explained above, the measurement bases of the internal management reporting systems and the income and expenses items included are different from the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Therefore, it is impracticable to present reconciliations of all the business segment's information, other than net business profits (losses), to the corresponding items in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. A reconciliation of "Net business profits (losses) + Net gains (losses) related to ETFs and others" for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025 presented above to income before income tax expense shown on the consolidated statements of income and a reconciliation of "Fixed assets" at September 30, 2024 and 2025 to the total amount of Premises and equipment-net, Goodwill, Intangible assets, and right-of-use assets related to operating leases included in Other assets are as follows:

21. Subsequent events

Repurchase and Cancellation of own shares

At the meeting of the Board of Directors of MHFG ("the Board") held on November 14, 2025, MHFG resolved to repurchase its common stock through market purchases during the period from November 17, 2025, to February 28, 2026. The repurchase program allows for the acquisition of up to 60,000,000 shares, equivalent to approximately 2.4% of the total number of outstanding common shares (excluding treasury shares), for a total amount of up to ¥200 billion. On March 23, 2026, MHFG will cancel all the repurchased shares in accordance with the resolution adopted by the Board on November 14, 2025. The shareholder return policy is to progressively increase dividends per share, while executing flexible and intermittent share buybacks. In accordance with this policy, the share buybacks were decided, based on our business results, capital adequacy, stock price and the opportunities for growth investment, using the total payout ratio of 50% or more as a guide.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim consolidated financial statements"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated June 25, 2025, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

#### Basis for Review Results
These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim consolidated financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
