Medium-term management plan

We have created a medium-term management plan that puts sustainability at the core of our strategy, starting from FY 2022. The plan captures significant changes in people's values and lifestyles resulting from the transition to a decarbonized and digitalized society, and strives to achieve a long-term balance between social and corporate value.

Creating our medium-term management plan

In the three-year medium-term management plan that ended in March 2022, we have pursued our fundamental policy of "Innovation for Next Orico" and worked towards rebuilding a solid profit structure and creating new business models based on six fundamental strategies.
Although we faced a tough business environment with the COVID-19 pandemic, by thoroughly implementing business based on our fundamental strategies and advancing various initiatives, we have completed the redemption of Class I preferred shares, which had long been a challenge.
On the other hand, people's values and lifestyles continue to change due to factors such as the shift to a decarbonized society caused by global climate change, and the spread of the Internet and digitalization. As these trends are expected to accelerate in the future, companies must innovate their businesses with flexible ideas that are not bound by the past.

In response to these changes in the business environment and to achieve growing both social and corporate value in the future, we have placed "sustainability" at the core of our management and formulated a medium-term management plan starting FY 2022, based on backcasting from Orico's vision of the next 10 years and our material issues.

Business portfolio management

Maximize corporate value through appropriate allocation of managerial resources

For the medium-term management plan, we analyzed the current status of each business based on the two axes of "market growth potential x competitive advantage" and "risk-return x cost-return" to clarify the future direction of the company.
By doing so, we aim to maximize corporate value by appropriately allocating managerial resources to businesses that align with our vision, generating additional capacity, and redirecting it towards growth investments in new businesses.

In our medium-term management plan, we have set the following business strategies:①Focus on key markets & explore new businesses,②Establish a market-in sales approach, ③reate new products and services through collaboration with different industries and cutting-edge companies, and④Explore process innovation. Through these four business strategies,
we aim to become "a financial services group for a new era that creates value from the customer's perspective".

Settlement and guarantee

We will strengthen the settlement and guarantee business, which shows growth potential. We will aggressively invest our managerial resources in the two pillars of our non-fund based business: rent guarantees and accounts receivables settlement guarantees.
In the rent guarantee business, we strive to become the No.1 share in the industry by introducing services that capture the trend of DX in the industry, developing business by utilizing our sales network, and strengthening relationships with management companies.
In the accounts receivable settlement guarantees business, we will respond to the increasing demand for guarantees caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing need for alternative credit enhancements previously provided by wholesalers and distributors. We will establish a new Business-to-Business Solutions Department and aim to become the No.1 in the small-amount accounts receivable guarantee field.
Furthermore, we will strengthen product development related to settlement guarantees through collaboration with the Mizuho Group.

In the organic domain, we will identify opportunities in the business-to-business sector and the transition to a decarbonized society, strengthening our development of services that align with decarbonization initiatives.
In the inorganic domain, through investments and collaboration with venture companies, we will strengthen our capacities to acquire cutting-edge technologies, new products, services, and customers.

We define our market-in sales approach as "considering customers' needs and providing timely and optimal solutions, products, and services without being constrained by existing domains." We divide our customer-driven market-in sales approach into the 3 domains of "With B to C," "to B," and "to C," and provide high-value-added products, services, and solutions that go beyond existing boundaries.

Through "eOrico", a web-based service for our members, we will provide a variety of services on the application using digital technology.
For example, we will create new customer experience value by introducing a digital card system for credit cards that enables instant card issuance and a negotiation system that completes the auto loan application process online.
Furthermore, we will generate synergies among members, member merchants, and external companies to build a strong relationship with customers in one-stop. We are considering providing external financial functions such as insurance, securities, and asset management, as well as exploring cross-cooperation with other companies' services.

Exploring process innovation

We will provide new customer experiences through advancing our digital communication. Additionally, we will further digitalize our business, services, and operations to improve quality and productivity, aiming to create a creative and rewarding work environment. Through such, we will promote process innovation through a three-pronged approach of "improving customer convenience", "reducing business costs", and "minimizing environmental costs".

Capital structure policy

Achieve optimal balance between financial soundness, shareholder returns, and capital efficiency

Following the completion of the redemption of Class I preferred shares, we formulated a new policy for capital structure in the medium-term management plan, aiming to achieve an optimal balance between financial soundness, shareholder returns, and capital efficiency.
For shareholder returns, we are targeting a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30%, based on stable and continuous dividend payments.
