Orix Corp Ads (NYSE:IX) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.62 EPS

Orix Corp Ads (NYSE:IX) announced its earnings results on Monday. The real estate investment trust reported $0.93 earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $1.55 by ($0.62), FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $9.13 billion during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $9.20 billion. Orix Corp Ads had a return on equity of 13.11% and a net margin of 18.02%.

Here are the key takeaways from Orix Corp Ads’ conference call:

• First-half net income reached a record ¥856.2 billion, nearly three times the prior-year level, but ¥538.7 billion came from Kioxia share-sale and valuation gains, making reported earnings highly dependent on share-price movements.
• Adjusted first-half profit was ¥317.5 billion, with management citing strength in asset management, aircraft and ships; adjusted profit excluding Kioxia gains was progressing at about 49% of the full-year plan.
• ORIX expects about ¥190 billion of Kioxia sale and valuation losses in Q3 based on the September share price, and said the subsequent share-price decline could mean a larger impact. The company kept its ¥530 billion full-year net income forecast unchanged, citing uncertainty around further Kioxia movements.
• Greater China investments incurred impairments, including about ¥40 billion in Q2, as ORIX continues to review its exposure; management also said U.S. portfolio businesses remain challenging, with recovery at Hilco and Elawan uncertain.
• ORIX is expanding fee-based asset management, raising new U.S. funds and bringing external investors into battery-storage projects. It also declared a ¥113.56 interim dividend and had completed 70% of its ¥250 billion share-buyback authorization by the end of October.
