1 Notes on Media Briefing by Akira Kiyota, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc., on April 27, 2018 There are three items on the agenda for today. I would like to first present JPX's financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2018. Operating revenue was JPY 120.7 billion, operating income JPY 71.7 billion, and net income (attributable to owners of the parent company) JPY 50.4 billion. Expanding more on matters of revenue, operating revenue was up year on year to JPY 12.8 billion as trading volume of cash equities and derivatives were both higher than the previous year. Operating expenses increased by approximately JPY 700 million to JPY 50.9 billion from the previous fiscal year. This is a result of a year-on-year increase in expenses related to the revenue increase. Thus, while expenses slightly increased, revenue ...

1 Notes on Media Briefing by Akira Kiyota, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc., on September 26, 2018 I would like to express my warmest sympathies to all those affected by the recent typhoon and the Hokkaido earthquake and my hopes for a speedy and full recovery. The only item on the agenda for today is the transition to standardized trading unit. TSE and other stock exchanges across Japan have pushed for a single trading unit for domestic stocks since November 2007. The variety of trading units will be successfully reduced on October 1, 2018. We had to change the schedule along the way in consideration of the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. With the profound understanding and cooperation of listed companies, we spent more than a decade in carrying out the plans carefully and gradually, aiming at improving convenience in ...

Operating expenses increased JPY 2.2 billion (9.2%) year on year to JPY 26.2 billion due to an increase in system-related expenses Accordingly, as the revenue increase exceeded the expense increase, operating income ...

1 Notes on Media Briefing by Akira Kiyota, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc., on November 30, 2018 There are three items on the agenda for today. First, I would like to address the recent announcement regarding my purchase of listed infrastructure funds. JPX’s internal rules prohibit the purchasing of infrastructure funds. Despite being the CEO of this organization, I misinterpreted the internal rules and conducted such purchasing. As top management at the exchange, I would like to sincerely apologize to all shareholders, investors, and market participants. JPX's board of directors has decided today to impose a monthly salary reduction of 30% for three months. I fully accept the accordingly imposed punishment. I have donated the full amount of profits I earned through the transactions to the Japanese Red Cross Society. It goes without saying that I will exercise extreme caution in adhering ...

1 Notes on Media Briefing by Akira Kiyota, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc., on December 17, 2018 Today, I would like to brief you on one agenda item, that is, revisions to the calculation methodologies for "JPX-Nikkei Index 400" and "JPX-Nikkei Mid and Small Cap Index". Calculation of JPX-Nikkei Index 400, in collaboration with Nikkei Inc., started nearly five years ago in January 2014. The index was designed to include companies with high investment appeal and focuses on factors such as "three-year average ROE" as indicators for efficient capital utilization. From the perspective of global investment, appointments of independent outside directors and disclosures of financial information in English are also taken into account when selecting constituents. As such, many investors and other market users are using the index. The same concepts were applied when calculation of JPX-Nikkei Mid and ...

1 Notes on Media Briefing by Akira Kiyota, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc., on January 29, 2019 There are two items on the agenda for today. I would like to first go over the consolidated financial results for the third quarter for the fiscal year ending March 2019. Operating revenue saw a year-on-year increase of JPY 4.1 billion (4.7%) to JPY 92 billion due mainly to a year-on-year increase in information and clearing services revenues. Operating expenses rose by JPY 3.4 billion (9.5%) year on year to JPY 39.6 billion due to an increase in system-related costs. Since the increase in revenue exceeded that of expenses, both revenue and income grew. Operating income increased by JPY 1.2 billion (2.3%) year on year to JPY 54.3 billion, and quarterly net income (attributable ...

1 Notes on Media Briefing by Akira Kiyota, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc., on March 28, 2019 The only item on the agenda for today is our Medium-Term Management Plan (MTMP). I would like to begin by reviewing the results of the current 2ndMTMP. One of the most important aspects of said plan was diversification of the business portfolio by proactively developing areas of business not directly connected with the markets to achieve a management structure that doesn't overly rely on the condition of the Japanese stock market. Net income for this fiscal year, the last year of the 2nd MTMP, is due to hit our target, thanks in part to the effects of Abenomics. With that, peripheral business, such as co-location and index/information services, has been growing at a steady rate, meaning that we have seen good progress towards ...
