Consolidated Financial Results

April 1, 2006 – March 31, 2007

May 10, 2007

In preparing its consolidated financial information, ORIX Corporation and its subsidiaries have complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except as modified to account for stock splits in accordance with the usual practice in Japan.

U.S. Dollar amounts have been calculated at Yen 118.05 to $1.00, the approximate exchange rate prevailing at March 31, 2007.

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

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

1. Analysis of Financial Highlights

1-1. Financial Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007

Economic Environment

The world economy, including the United States, Europe and Asia, has generally performed steadily throughout this fiscal year. The U.S. economy showed signs of moderate expansion, despite concerns regarding the decrease in residential investment, supported by steady consumer spending, as well as a weak yet improving employment situation. The strong performance of the European economy was backed by a steady trend in capital investment and expansion in consumer spending. In Asia, the Chinese economy continued to achieve high growth despite implementation of a tightening policy, including direct regulation, against the acceleration of investments in China, and other countries across Asia also showed signs of economic expansion.

The Japanese economy gradually expanded, despite the economic instability caused by the rise in oil prices in the first half of the fiscal year, due to growth in private capital investments stemming from improvements in corporate earnings.

Overview of Business Performance (April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007)

Revenues: 1,142,553 million yen (Up 23% year on year)

Revenues increased 23% to 1,142,553 million yen compared with the previous fiscal year. Although “direct financing leases” and “life insurance premiums and related investment income” decreased year on year, revenues from “operating leases,” “interest on loans and investment securities,” “brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities,” “real estate sales,” “gains on sales of real estate under operating leases,” and “other operating revenues” were up compared to the previous fiscal year.

Revenues from “direct financing leases” decreased 6% to 90,445 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year. In Japan, revenues from “direct financing leases” were down 12% to 62,615 million yen compared to 71,279 million yen in the previous fiscal year due primarily to the lower level of operating assets. Overseas, revenues were up 12% to 27,830 million yen compared to 24,857 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the expansion of the leasing operations in the Asia, Oceania and Europe segment.

In Japan, revenues were up 22% to 194,359 million yen compared to 158,839 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to an expansion in real estate and automobile operating leases as well as an increase in revenues from the precision measuring and other equipment rental operations.

In Japan, “interest on loans and investment securities” increased 19% to 154,034 million yen compared to 129,195 million yen in the previous fiscal year due primarily to an expansion of non-recourse loans and loans to corporate customers. Overseas, revenues were up 56% to 47,497 million yen compared to 30,532 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to an expansion of revenues associated with loans to corporate customers as well as contributions from interest on investment securities in The Americas segment, in addition to the expansion of the loan servicing operations in the Asia, Oceania and Europe segment.

In Japan, revenues were up 19% to 215,577 million yen compared to 181,007 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the increases in revenues associated with the real estate management operations, including training facilities and golf courses, and the automobile maintenance service operations, as well as the contribution from companies which we invested in the previous and this fiscal year, and PFI operations, in addition to contributions of servicing fees from our loan servicing operations. Overseas, revenues increased almost five times to 64,265 million yen compared to 12,240 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the contribution from the beginning of the first quarter of this fiscal year of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin (herein referred to as “Houlihan Lokey”) that entered the ORIX Group in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year and is included in The Americas segment.

Operations in Japan

Corporate Financial Services Segment:

Segment revenues were up 26% year on year to 123,328 million yen due primarily to the expansion of loans to corporate customers.

Although “selling, general and administrative expenses” increased as a result of upfront costs associated with an increase in the number of employees as a result of an effort to expand our sales and marketing base, segment profits increased 17% to 56,873 million yen compared to 48,661 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the increase in segment revenues.

Segment assets increased 14% on March 31, 2006 to 1,846,552 million yen due to an increase in loans to corporate customers.

Although “selling, general and administrative expenses” increased as a result of an increase in the number of employees in an effort to develop our customer base focusing on expanding the automobile-related business to individuals, segment profits increased 6% to 28,224 million yen in line with the increase in segment revenues compared to 26,661 million yen in the previous fiscal year.

Although there was an expansion of the automobile leasing operations that also include operating leases, segment assets were flat on March 31, 2006 at 510,805 million yen due to asset securitization.

Segment revenues were up 1% year on year to 67,859 million yen.

Table of Contents

Real Estate-Related Finance Segment:

Segment profits increased 34% to 44,682 million yen compared to 33,384 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the increase in segment revenues and a lower “provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses.”

Segment assets increased 24% on March 31, 2006 to 1,517,927 million yen due mainly to the increase in corporate loans, including non-recourse loans.

Real Estate Segment:

Segment revenues increased 23% year on year to 245,336 million yen as more condominiums were sold to buyers this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, and due to the increase in revenues associated with the real estate rental activities including office buildings and the management operations, including training facilities and golf courses, in addition to contributions from the gains on sales of real estate under operating leases.

Segment profits increased 79% to 51,236 million yen compared to 28,650 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to the increase in segment revenues in addition to contribution from residential condominiums developed through certain joint ventures which were accounted for by the equity method. The number of condominiums developed through the aforementioned joint ventures sold to buyers increased from 178 units in the previous fiscal year to 818 units in this fiscal year.

Segment assets increased 32% on March 31, 2006 to 901,237 million yen due mainly to the expansion of operating assets, including investment in operating leases.

Life Insurance Segment:

Segment revenues were down 4% year on year to 132,060 million yen as a result of lower revenues from life insurance premiums and related investment income compared to the previous fiscal year.

Segment profits decreased 25% year on year to 9,921 million yen compared to 13,212 million yen in the previous fiscal year due to lower segment revenues.

While contributions from “equity in net income of affiliates,” as well as gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates under principal investments, and brokerage commissions decreased year on year, the higher segment revenues led to the higher segment profits.

Segment assets increased 18% on March 31, 2006 to 788,446 million yen.

Overseas Operations

The Americas Segment:

Although the previous fiscal year benefited from the gain on the sale of the primary and master servicing business as well as higher gains on sales of real estate under operating leases, segment revenues increased 71% year on year to 119,940 million yen due to the contribution from the beginning of the first quarter of this fiscal year of Houlihan Lokey and the increase in revenues associated with corporate loans as well as securities investments.

Segment profits decreased 10% to 31,315 million yen compared to 34,701 million yen in the previous fiscal year. Although Houlihan Lokey contributed to profits from the beginning of the first quarter of this fiscal year, there were no contributions this fiscal year such as the gain on the sale of operations that were recorded in the previous fiscal year, in addition to a decrease in “equity in net income of affiliates.”

Segment assets increased 11% on March 31, 2006 to 487,900 million yen due mainly to an increase in corporate loans.

Summary of Fourth Quarter (Three Months Ended March 31, 2007)

In the fourth quarter of this fiscal year revenues increased 27,957 million yen year on year.

Revenues from “direct financing leases” were down compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year due to the decrease in the average balance of operating assets. Revenues from “operating leases” and “interest on loans and investment securities” were up in line with the increase in operating assets compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. “Brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities” were down compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. Although life insurance premiums decreased, life insurance related investment income was up compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year for “life insurance premiums and related investment income.” “Real estate sales” decreased year on year due to the decrease in the number of condominiums sold to buyers in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. “Gains (losses) on sales of real estate under operating leases” were up year on year. “Other operating revenues” were up year on year due to the increase in revenues associated with our real estate management operations, including training facilities and golf courses, as well as the contribution to revenues from Houlihan Lokey.

Expenses were up 16,486 million yen compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

“Interest expense” was up year on year due to the higher average debt levels and higher interest rates. “Costs of operating leases” were up year on year due to the increase in operating assets. “Life insurance costs” were down compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. “Costs of real estate sales” decreased compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year for the same reason as given for “real estate sales.” “Other operating expenses” increased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year for the same reason as given for “other operating revenues.” “Selling, general and administrative expenses” were up year on year as a result of an increase in related expenses associated with an increase in the number of employees as a result of an effort to expand our sales platform primarily in Japan, as well as an increase in Houlihan Lokey’s expenses in line with an increase in its revenues. Although the “write-downs of long-lived assets” were down compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, “provision for doubtful receivables and probable loan losses” and “write-downs of securities” increased year on year.

This resulted in an increase in “operating income” by 11,471 million yen compared with the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year to 58,679 million yen.

“Equity in net income of affiliates” decreased year on year, while “gains on sales of subsidiaries and affiliates and liquidation loss” increased. “Income before income taxes, minority interests in earnings

1-2. Outlook and Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2008

In terms of the business environment for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, overseas the U.S. economy is expected to be strong despite concerns including the slowdown in capital investment growth, decrease in corporate profitability, and anxieties regarding inflation. The European economy is expected to stay strong, while the Asian economy, led by China, is also expected to continue to expand. In Japan, a continuation of gradual economic expansion is expected due to a steady trend in capital investments, as well as a moderate increase in interest rates.

Under such economic environment, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, we are forecasting contributions from the real estate-related segments and the Corporate Financial Services segment, and “total revenues” of 1,216,000 million yen (up 6.4% compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007), “income before income taxes” of 353,000 million yen (up 11.7%), and “net income” of 202,500 million yen (up 3.1%).

Although forward-looking statements in this document such as forecasts are attributable to current information available to the Company as well as on assumptions deemed rational, actual financial results may differ materially due to various factors.

The ORIX Group has been diversifying its business expansion into areas centering on its financial service operations, including real estate-related and investment-related operations. Due to the characteristics of these operations, which are affected by changes in economic conditions in Japan and overseas, our operating environment, as well as market trends, it has become difficult to accurately estimate figures, such as earnings forecasts.

Therefore, readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these figures as they may differ materially from the actual financial results.

Various factors causing these figures to differ materially are discussed, but not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in the Form 20-F submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Analysis of Financial Condition

2-1. Analysis of Assets, Liabilities, Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows

Operating Assets: 6,638,466 million yen (Up 13% on March 31, 2006)

Operating assets were up 13% on March 31, 2006 to 6,638,466 million yen. As a result of our selective process in accumulating quality operating assets (assets with appropriate risk and return), “investment in direct financing leases” was down on March 31, 2006, while “installment loans,” “investment in operating leases,” “investment in securities,” and “other operating assets” increased.

We expect to accumulate quality assets including “installment loans” for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

Summary of Cash Flows (Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007)

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 30,693 million yen to 215,163 million yen compared to March 31, 2006.

“Cash flows from operating activities” provided 226,128 million yen in this fiscal year and provided 136,003 million yen in the previous fiscal year. In general, there was an inflow associated with an increase in net income, while there was an outflow from “increase in inventories,” which is associated with the residential condominium development operations.

“Cash flows from investing activities” used 802,278 million yen in this fiscal year and used 799,357 million yen in the previous fiscal year due mainly to the increase in outflows associated with the increase in “installment loans made to customers” as a result of the expansion of loans to corporate customers, including non-recourse loans.

“Cash flows from financing activities” provided 545,014 million yen in this fiscal year and provided 762,528 million yen in the previous fiscal year, due to the increase in debt accompanying the increase in operating assets.

We expect a continuation of a similar trend in cash flows for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

3. Profit Distribution Policy and Dividends for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007

ORIX believes that securing profits from its businesses primarily as retained earnings, and utilizing them for strengthening its base of operations and making investments for growth, and sustaining profit growth while maintaining financial stability, will lead to increased shareholder value.

ORIX’s current policy is to meet the needs of its shareholders by maximizing shareholder value through medium- and long-term profit growth and continuing to distribute stable dividends. Regarding share buybacks, ORIX will take into account the adequate level of retained earnings and act accordingly by considering factors such as changes in the economic environment, trend in stock prices, and financial situation.

Under the above policy, and based on current business conditions, a dividend of 130 yen per share, an increase of 40 yen from the forecast of 90 yen announced at the beginning of the previous fiscal year, is scheduled for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Dividend distribution is scheduled once a year as a year-end dividend.

4. Business Risks

The business risks are discussed in “Risk Factors” in the Form 20-F submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

[Management Policies]

1. Management Basic Policy

ORIX’s corporate philosophy and management policy are shown below.

Corporate Philosophy

ORIX is constantly anticipating market needs and working to contribute to society by developing leading financial services on a global scale and striving to offer innovative products that create new value for customers.

Management Policy

2. Target Performance Indicators

ORIX has identified the growth rate of diluted net income per share, ROE (ratio of net income to average shareholders’ equity), and the shareholders’ equity ratio as important performance indicators, and strives to construct a business portfolio focused on balancing growth, profitability and financial stability.

Under a medium- and long-term perspective, ORIX will strive to achieve sustained growth in diluted net income per share and maintain and improve its ROE (ratio of net income to average shareholders’ equity). The company looks to sustain an appropriate shareholders’ equity ratio according to changes in its operations and level of risk.

3. Medium- and Long-Term Corporate Management Strategy

ORIX is aiming to achieve sustained growth under a medium- and long-term perspective. With the continued evolution of the economy and society, market demands for innovative products and services increasingly impact the financial services sector, ORIX’s principal operating domain. Accordingly, ORIX has identified management’s ability to promptly and flexibly respond to changing market needs as critical to achieving medium- and long-term growth.

To realize this objective, ORIX is undertaking operations based on the following policies.

 

- Expand sales network developed through financial services, including leases and loans, and further strengthen base of operations for growth through diverse business expansion.

 

- Utilize sales network to promote investment banking operations such as principal investments, including corporate rehabilitation and business succession, and advisory related to M&A and financial restructuring.

 

- Expand real estate-related operations by utilizing ORIX’s strength of having the capabilities for both finance and real estate operations, in response to the changes in the market stemming from the growing trend in offering real estate as financial products, led by the expansion of real estate investment fund markets, including Japanese real estate investment trusts (J-REITs).

 

- Diversify overseas operations from existing businesses focusing on financing for SMEs to real estate-related operations and investment banking operations, as well as expansion into new regions.

4. Challenges to be Addressed

ORIX understands that a robust and dynamic corporate structure is integral to achieving sustained growth. In specific terms, we intend to implement the following four measures.

 

1. Further improve our financial position

 

2. Establish a workplace environment that is valued by employees

 

3. Accumulate transactions that satisfy both social and economic conditions

 

4. Enhance risk management

From the perspective of further improving our financial position, going forward, ORIX will continue to secure new growth opportunities with the aim of realizing further improvement. We will strive to establish a rewarding and motivating workplace in which employees can fulfill their potential irrespective of nationality, age, gender, career, education and employment type, thereby increasing the strength of the organization as a whole. In an effort to accumulate transactions, ORIX aims to provide quality products and services for its customers and increase its profitability, while accumulating socially-aware transactions with attention to compliance and the environment. In order to respond to a wide range of risk, including operational risk and market risk, ORIX implements a strict, multi-faceted initial screening process and will continue to implement an elaborate risk management system to minimize risk, monitoring periodically along the way. Concurrently, ORIX will aim to carry out appropriate capital allocation for the efficient utilization of shareholders’ equity by assessing levels of risk and investing and providing loans in areas that are expected to be highly profitable.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (“Share-Based Payment”) (“FASB Statement No. 123(R)”), using the modified prospective method, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. FASB Statement 123(R) superseded APB Opinion No. 25 (“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”) and replaced the existing FASB Statement No. 123 (“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”), and requires, with limited exception, that the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments be measured based on the grant-date fair value. The expenses are recognized over requisite employee service period.

Pension Plans

The Company and certain subsidiaries have contributory and non-contributory funded pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. The Company and its subsidiaries apply FASB Statement No.87 (“Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”), and the costs of pension plans are accrued based on amounts determined using actuarial methods under the assumptions of discount rate, rate of increase in compensation level, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and others.

The Company and its subsidiaries also adopted FASB Statement No. 158 (“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)”) (“FASB Statement No. 158”) on March 31, 2007, and recognize the funded status of pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, on the consolidated balance sheet.

Other than the above, there were no significant changes from the latest report.
