Some of the contracts include options to extend or to terminate the lease. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the lease term while taking such periods covered by options into account when determined the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. The majority of the lease contracts do not contain bargain purchase options for customers.
The estimated unguaranteed residual value represents estimated proceeds from the disposition of equipment at the time the lease is terminated. The estimated unguaranteed residual value is determined based on market value of used equipment, estimates of when and how much equipment will become obsolete, and actual recovery being experienced for similar used equipment. The Company and its subsidiaries may incur losses if the estimated residual amounts are unable to collect or need to recognize valuation losses when the estimates differ from actual trends in equipment valuation and the secondhand market. The risk of loss on leased assets relating to the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased assets is monitored through projections of the estimated unguaranteed residual value at lease origination and periodic review of estimated unguaranteed residual value.
When auto leases are bundled with maintenance contracts, considerations on contracts are allocated based upon the estimated standalone selling prices of the lease and
non-lease
components. Lease components generally include product and financing cost, and
non-lease
components generally consist of maintenance contracts.
A certain subsidiary is providing automobile related services, and applying practical expedients, to not separate
non-lease
components from the associated lease components. In this service, ASC 606 is applied to the entire contract because the consideration related to
non-lease
components accounts for the majority of contract consideration. Revenues from these operations are recognized over the customers’ usage period of the services, since customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits when the performance obligations are satisfied. The value transferred to customers is directly measured based on the usage period.

Some lease contracts are subject to government assistance for the customers’ acquisition of leased assets, mainly for the purpose of environmental measures. This government assistance is accounted for as a reduction of lease receivables of lease contracts when the Company and its subsidiaries confirm receipt of cash. The amount of a reduction of lease receivables were ¥32,357 million and ¥31,482 million as of March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Benefits of the government assistance are attributed to the customers by the reduced lease payments. Furthermore, remaining term of government assistance contracts ranges up to 13 years and 15 years as of March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. And when receiving the government assistance, restrictions mainly on disposal of property and duty of keeping documents occur for a certain period of time.

The Company and its subsidiaries determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of each contract. The Company and its subsidiaries have operating and finance leases for various assets including lands, office buildings, employees’ accommodations, and vehicles.
Some of the lease arrangements include options to extend or terminate lease term. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the lease term while taking such options into account when determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. The Company and its subsidiaries’ lease arrangements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As a rate implicit in most of the leases cannot be readily determinable, the Company and its subsidiaries use incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present values of lease payments.
