    This immediate release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including estimates, forecasts, targets and plans. Such forward-looking statements do not represent any guarantee by management of future performance.

    In many cases, but not all, we use such words as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “endeavor,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “probability,” “project,” “risk,” “seek,” “should,” “strive,” “target” and similar expressions in relation to us or our management to identify forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

    We may not be successful in implementing our business strategies, and management may fail to achieve its targets, for a wide range of possible reasons, including, without limitation: impact of geopolitical disruptions; intensification of competition in the market for financial services; incurrence of significant credit-related costs; declines in the value of our securities portfolio; changes in interest rates; foreign currency fluctuations; decrease in the market liquidity of our assets; revised assumptions or other changes related to our pension plans; a decline in our deferred tax assets; impairment of the carrying value of our long-lived assets; problems related to our information technology systems, including as a result of cyber attacks; the effect of financial transactions entered into for hedging and other similar purposes; failure to maintain required capital adequacy ratio levels and meet other financial regulatory requirements; downgrades in our credit ratings; our ability to avoid reputational harm; our ability to implement our medium-term business plan and implement other strategic initiatives and measures effectively; the effectiveness of our operational, legal and other risk management policies; the effect of changes in general economic conditions in Japan and elsewhere; and changes to applicable laws and regulations.

    Further information regarding factors that could affect our financial condition and results of operations is included in “Item 3. D. Key Information-Risk Factors” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our most recent Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on December 26, 2024, both of which are available in the Financial Information section of our web page at www.mizuhogroup.com and also at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

    We do not intend to update our forward-looking statements. We are under no obligation, and disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by the rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

    Summary of reportable segments

    MHFG has introduced an in-house company system based on the group’s diverse customer segments. The aim of this system is to leverage MHFG’s strengths and competitive advantage, which is the seamless integration of MHFG’s banking, trust 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).

    The services that each in-house company is in charge of are as follows:

    RBC:

    Services for individual customers, small and medium-sized enterprises and middle market firms in Japan

    CIBC:

    Services for large corporations, financial institutions and public corporations in Japan

    GCIBC:

    Services for Japanese overseas affiliated corporate customers and non-Japanese corporate customers, etc.

    GMC:

    Investment services with respect to interest rates, equities and credits, etc. and other services

    AMC:

    Development of products and provision of services that match the asset management needs of its wide range of customers from individuals to institutional investors

    The reportable segments information, set forth below, is derived from the internal management reporting systems used by management to measure the performance of the Group’s operating segments. Management measures the performance of each of the operating segments in accordance with internal managerial accounting rules and practices.
