Fair Value Measurements

2. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”). This Codification Section defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

This Codification Section classifies and prioritizes inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value into the following three levels:

 

Level 1—Inputs of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

 

This Codification Section differentiates between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (“recurring”) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (“nonrecurring”). The Company and its subsidiaries mainly measure certain loans held for sale, trading securities, available-for-sale securities, certain investment funds and derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 (“Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”—ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”)) on January 1, 2012. This Update is intended to result in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosures about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, this Update changes some fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements.

 

The following table presents recorded amounts of major financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and 2014:

*1

A subsidiary elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) on the loans held for sale originated on or after October 1, 2011. These loans are multi-family and seniors housing loans and are sold to Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or institutional investors. Included in other operating revenues in the consolidated statements of income were gains from the change in the fair value of the loans of ¥1,024 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, losses from the change in the fair value of the loans of ¥628 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and gains from the change in the fair value of the loans of ¥116 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. No gains or losses were recognized in earnings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The amounts of aggregate unpaid principal balance and aggregate fair value at March 31, 2013, were ¥15,535 million and ¥16,026 million, respectively, and the amount of the aggregate fair value exceeded the amount of aggregate unpaid principal balance by ¥491 million. The amounts of aggregate unpaid principal balance and aggregate fair value at March 31, 2014, were ¥12,024 million and ¥12,631 million, respectively, and the amount of the aggregate fair value exceeded the amount of aggregate unpaid principal balance by ¥607 million. As of March 31, 2013 and 2014, there were no loans that were 90 days or more past due, in non-accrual status, or both.

*2 A subsidiary that has newly become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during this fiscal year elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) for investments in equity securities included in available-for-sale securities. Included in brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities in the consolidated statements of income were gains from the change in the fair value of those investments of ¥333 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The amount of aggregate fair value elected the fair value option is ¥5,116 million as of March 31, 2014.
*3 A subsidiary and another company that have newly become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during this fiscal year elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (“Financial Instruments”) for investments in some funds. Included in brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities in the consolidated statements of income were gains from the change in the fair value of those investments of ¥670 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and ¥1,412 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The amounts of aggregate fair value elected the fair value option were ¥5,800 million and ¥6,317 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Changes in economic conditions or valuation methodologies may require the transfer of assets and liabilities from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the transfer at the beginning of quarter during which the transfers occur. The Company and its subsidiaries evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

*1 Principally, gains and losses from available-for-sale securities are included in “brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities”, “write-downs of securities” or “life insurance premiums and related investment income”; other securities are included in “brokerage commissions and net gains on investment securities” and derivative assets and liabilities (net) are included in “other operating revenues/expenses,” and gains from accounts payable are included in “other operating revenues”. Also, for available-for-sale securities, amortization of interest recognized in interest on loans and investment securities is included in these columns.
*2 Unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities are included in “Net change of unrealized gains (losses) on investment in securities.”
*3 The amount reported in “Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 (net)” is the fair value at the beginning of quarter during which the transfers occur.

 

In fiscal 2012, ¥468 million of Corporate debt securities was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a certain market becoming inactive. There were no transfers from Level 3 in fiscal 2012.

 

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in fiscal 2013 and 2014.

The following is a description of the valuation process and the main valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

Valuation process

 

The Company and its subsidiaries determine fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities by using valuation techniques, such as internally developed models, or using third-party pricing information. Internally developed models include the discounted cash flow methodologies and direct capitalization methodologies. To measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities, the Company and its subsidiaries select the valuation technique which best reflects the nature, characteristics and risks of each asset and liability. The appropriateness of valuation methods and unobservable inputs is verified when measuring fair values of the assets and liabilities by using internally developed models. The Company and its subsidiaries also use third-party pricing information to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. In that case, the Company and its subsidiaries verify the appropriateness of the prices by monitoring available information about the assets and liabilities, such as current conditions of the assets or liabilities, as well as surrounding market information. When these prices are determined to be able to reflect the nature, characteristics and risks of assets and liabilities reasonably, the Company and its subsidiaries use these prices as fair value of the assets and liabilities.

 

Loans held for sale

 

Certain loans, which the Company and its subsidiaries have the intent and ability to sell to outside parties in the foreseeable future, are considered held-for-sale. The loans held for sale in the United States are classified as Level 2, because the Company and its subsidiaries measure their fair value based on a market approach using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets, such as treasury rate, swap rate and market spread.

 

Real estate collateral-dependent loans

 

The valuation allowance for large balance non-homogeneous loans is individually evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans if the loans are collateral-dependent. According to ASC 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”), measurement for impaired loans determined using a present value technique is not considered a fair value measurement. However, measurement for impaired loans determined using the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the collateral-dependent loans are fair value measurements and are subject to the disclosure requirements for nonrecurring fair value measurements.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value of the real estate collateral of real estate collateral-dependent loans using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. The company and its subsidiaries generally obtain a new appraisal once a fiscal year. In addition, we periodically monitor circumstances of the real estate collateral and then obtain a new appraisal in situations involving a significant change in economic and/or physical conditions, which may materially affect the fair value of the collateral. Real estate collateral-dependent loans whose fair values are estimated using appraisals of the underlying collateral based on these valuation techniques are classified as Level 3 because such appraisals involve unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates and cap rates as well as future cash flows estimated to be generated from real estate collateral. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or cap rate and a decrease (increase) in the estimated future cash flows would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of real estate collateral-dependent loans.

 

Investment in operating leases and other operating assets and Land and buildings undeveloped or under construction

 

Investment in operating leases measured at fair value is mostly real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the fair value of Investment in operating leases and other operating assets and land and buildings undeveloped or under construction using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or the Company’s own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate. The Company and its subsidiaries classified the assets as Level 3 because such appraisals involve unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates as well as future cash flows estimated to be generated from the assets or projects. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate and a decrease (increase) in the estimated future cash flows would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of investment in operating leases and other operating assets and Land and buildings undeveloped or under construction.

 

Trading securities, Available-for-sale securities and Investment in affiliates

 

If active market prices are available, fair value measurement is based on quoted active market prices and, accordingly, these securities are classified as Level 1. If active market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as prices for similar assets and accordingly these securities are classified as Level 2. If market prices are not available and there are no observable inputs, then fair value is estimated by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies, commonly used option-pricing models and broker quotes. Such securities are classified as Level 3, as the valuation models and broker quotes are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market. If fair value is based on broker quotes, the Company and its subsidiaries check the validity of received prices based on comparison to prices of other similar assets and market data such as relevant bench mark indices.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries classified CMBS and RMBS in the United States as level 3 due to a certain market being inactive. In determining whether a market is active or inactive, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate various factors such as the lack of recent transactions, price quotations that are not based on current information or vary substantially over time or among market makers, a significant increase in implied risk premium, a wide bid-ask spread, significant decline in new issuances, little or no public information (e.g. a principal-to-principal market) and other factors. With respect to the CMBS and RMBS in the United States, the Company and its subsidiaries judged that there has been increased overall trading activity but due to the lack of observable trades for older vintage and below investment grade securities we continue to limit the reliance on independent pricing service vendors and brokers. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries established internally developed pricing models (Level 3 inputs) using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies in order to estimate fair value of these securities and classified them as Level 3. Under the models, the Company and its subsidiaries use anticipated cash flows of the security discounted at a risk-adjusted discount rate that incorporates our estimate of credit risk and liquidity risk that a market participant would consider. The cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions such as default rate and prepayment speed, as well as seniority of the security. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate or default rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of CMBS and RMBS in the United States.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries classified the specified bonds as Level 3 because the Company and its subsidiaries measure their fair value using unobservable inputs. Since the specified bonds do not trade in an open market, no relevant observable market data is available. Accordingly the Company and its subsidiaries use discounted cash flow methodologies that incorporates significant unobservable inputs to measure their fair value. When evaluating the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the fair value by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate based on market interest rates and a risk premium. The future cash flows for the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan are estimated based on contractual principal and interest repayment schedules on each of the specified bonds issued by the SPEs in Japan. Since the discount rate is not observable for the specified bonds, the Company and its subsidiaries use an internally developed model to estimate a risk premium considering the value of the real estate collateral (which also involves unobservable inputs in many cases when using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow methodologies) and the seniority of the bonds. Under the model, the Company and its subsidiaries consider the loan-to-value ratio and other relevant available information to reflect both the credit risk and the liquidity risk in our own estimate of the risk premium. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the larger the risk premium the Company and its subsidiaries estimate under the model. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan rises when the fair value of the collateral real estate rises and the discount rate declines. The fair value of the specified bonds issued by SPEs in Japan declines when the fair value of the collateral real estate declines and the discount rate rises.

 

Investment funds

 

A subsidiary and another company which has newly become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during this fiscal year elected the fair value option for investments in some funds. These investment funds for which the fair value option is elected are classified as Level 3, because the subsidiaries measure their fair value using discounted cash flow methodologies or discounting to net asset value based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

 

Derivatives

 

For exchange-traded derivatives, fair value is based on quoted market prices, and accordingly, classified as Level 1. For non-exchange traded derivatives, fair value is based on commonly used models and discounted cash flow methodologies. If the inputs used for these measurements including yield curves and volatilities are observable, the Company and its subsidiaries classify it as Level 2. If the inputs are not observable, the Company and its subsidiaries classify it as Level 3. These unobservable inputs contain discount rates. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a decrease (increase) in the fair value of derivatives.

 

Contingent consideration

 

The Company will be required to pay certain contingent consideration described in Note 3 (Acquisitions) depending on the future performance of a certain asset management business of the acquired subsidiary, and the Company recognizes a liability for the contingent consideration at its estimated fair value. The fair value of the contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 because the Company measures its fair value using a Monte Carlo model based on inputs that are unobservable in the market.

The Company and its subsidiaries generally use discounted cash flow methodologies or similar internally developed models to determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs as indicated in the preceding table. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on the fair value.

 

Certain of these unobservable inputs will (in isolation) have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the asset or liability for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the asset or liability may move in an opposite direction for a given change in another input. Where multiple inputs are used within the valuation technique of an asset or liability, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change in another input having a potentially muted impact to the overall fair value of that particular asset or liability. Additionally, a change in one unobservable input may result in a change to another unobservable input (that is, changes in certain inputs are interrelated to one another), which may counteract or magnify the fair value impact.

 

For more analysis of the sensitivity of each input, see the description of the valuation process and the main valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
