Nomura Holdings, Inc. reported a net revenue of 523.3 billion yen for the three months ended June 30, 2025, marking a 15.2% increase from the prior year's period. Net income attributable to NHI shareholders reached 104.6 billion yen, a substantial 51.7% rise year-over-year. The company's performance notably surpassed analyst revenue estimates of 437 billion yen, and the diluted EPS of 34.04 yen (equivalent to approximately $0.22 based on an assumed exchange rate of 150 JPY/USD for illustrative purposes) also exceeded the analyst EPS estimate of $0.25, indicating a strong financial quarter for the reporting period of 2025 Q1.

 

Key Business Segment Performance

The Wholesale segment was a primary driver of growth, with net revenue increasing by 6.6% to 261.1 billion yen, and income before income taxes surging by 98.4% to 41.9 billion yen. This growth was supported by a 2.0% decrease in non-interest expenses within the segment. The Investment Management segment also saw a 6.1% increase in net revenue, reaching 50.6 billion yen, despite a 7.1% decrease in income before income taxes due to higher non-interest expenses.

 

Strategic Developments and Other Contributions

The newly established Banking Division on April 1, 2025, contributed a 14.4% increase in net revenue to 12.8 billion yen. However, this segment experienced a 10.4% decrease in income before income taxes. Furthermore, a significant gain was recorded in the 'Other Operating Results' category, with net revenue at 93.2 billion yen and income before income taxes at 54.6 billion yen. This was primarily attributed to profits from the sale of land and buildings in Takanawa 2-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, in April 2025.

 

Management Outlook

Nomura Holdings, Inc. stated that it does not provide earnings forecasts due to inherent uncertainties in the global capital markets, which include economic and market conditions. The company emphasized its role in providing investment, financing, and related services globally.
