Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Pension Plans | 17. Pension Plans The Company and certain subsidiaries have contributory and non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. Those contributory funded pension plans include defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans. Under the plans, employees are entitled to lump-sum payments at the time of termination of their employment or pension payments. Defined benefit pension plans consist of a plan of which the amounts of such payments are determined on the basis of length of service and remuneration at the time of termination and a cash balance plan. The Company and certain subsidiaries’ funding policy is to contribute annually the amounts actuarially determined. Assets of the plans are invested primarily in debt securities and marketable equity securities. The funded status of the defined benefit pension plans, which consists of Japanese plans and overseas plans, as of March 31, 2024 and 2025 are as follows:

The Company and certain subsidiaries determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets annually based on the composition of the pension asset portfolios and the expected long-term rate of return on these portfolios. The expected long-term rate of return is designed to approximate the long-term rate of return actually earned on the plans’ assets over time to ensure that funds are available to meet the pension obligations that result from the services provided by employees. The Company and certain subsidiaries use a number of factors to determine the expected rate of return, including actual historical returns on the asset classes of the plans’ portfolios and independent projections of returns of the various asset classes. The Company and certain subsidiaries’ investment policies are designed to ensure adequate plan assets are available to provide future payments of pension benefits to eligible participants. The Company and certain subsidiaries formulate a policy portfolio appropriate to produce the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and to ensure that plan assets are allocated under this policy portfolio. The Company and certain subsidiaries periodically have an external consulting firm monitor the results of actual return and revise the policy portfolio if necessary. The fair value of Japanese pension plan assets at March 31, 2024 and 2025, by asset category, are as follows. The three levels of input used to measure fair value are described in Note 2 “Fair Value Measurements.”

Level 2 assets are comprised principally of debt securities and investments in life insurance company general accounts.

At March 31, 2025, our policy for the portfolio of plans consists of two major components: approximately 40% is invested in equity securities and approximately 60% is invested in debt securities. Each level into which assets are categorized is based on inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets. Level 1 assets are comprised principally of equity securities and debt securities, which are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2 assets are comprised principally of debt securities and investments in life insurance company general accounts. Investments in life insurance company general accounts are valued at conversion value. Pooled funds are valued at the net asset value per share at the measurement date and they have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The Company and certain subsidiaries expect to contribute ¥3,843 million to its Japanese pension plans and ¥2,305 million to its overseas pension plans during the year ending March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2025, the benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five fiscal years, and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter are as follows:
