(1)
Range information is provided in percentages, coefficients and multiples and represents the highest and lowest level significant unobservable valuation input used to value that type of financial instrument. A wide dispersion in the range does not necessarily reflect increased uncertainty or subjectivity in the valuation input and is typically just a consequence of the different characteristics of the financial instruments themselves.
(2)
Weighted average information for
non-derivatives
is calculated by weighting each valuation input by the fair value of the financial instrument.
(3)
Nomura has not provided weighted average information for derivatives as unlike cash products the risk on such products is distinct from the balance sheet value and is subject to netting. Discussion of the ranges of significant unobservable valuation inputs for derivatives and short-term and long-term borrowings which contain embedded derivatives classified in Level 3 is provided below as a substitute for weighted average information.
(4)
The above table only considers the impact of an increase in each significant unobservable valuation input on the fair value measurement of the financial instrument. However, a decrease in the significant unobservable valuation input would have the opposite effect on the fair value measurement of the financial instrument. For example, if an increase in a significant unobservable valuation input would result in a lower fair value measurement, a decrease in the significant unobservable valuation input would result in a higher fair value measurement.
(5)
The impact of an increase in the significant unobservable valuation input on the fair value measurement for a derivative assumes Nomura is long risk to the input (such as being long volatility). Where Nomura is short such risk, the impact of an increase would have a converse effect on the fair value measurement of the derivative.
(6)
Consideration of the interrelationships between significant unobservable valuation inputs is only relevant where more than one unobservable valuation input is used to determine the fair value measurement of the financial instrument.
(7)
Valuation techniques and unobservable valuation inputs in respect of equity securities reported within
Other assets
in the consolidated balance sheets.
(8)
Includes
non-financial
assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis
Increases and decreases of Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on recurring basis unrealized and realized gain/losses included in revenue
For the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, gains and losses related to Level 3 assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on Nomura’s liquidity and capital resources management.
