Profit attributable to owners of parent exceeded the target of ¥700 billion in 
FY2018. This was mainly due to the robust growth in the International Business 
Unit, a driver of group-wide growth, while the wealth management business was 
sluggish due to the deterioration of market conditions seen in the second half of 
the fiscal year.

* Calculated using stockholders’ equity as the denominator

ROE exceeded our Medium-Term Management Plan target of 7–8% due to the 
steady progress of the plan that led to higher than expected profit attributable to 
owners of parent.

Building the  
Future of Finance

We will Pursue Further Excellence by  
Tirelessly Reinventing Ourselves

Jun Ohta
Director President and Group CEO 

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.

14

To Our Stakeholders SMBC Group Annual Report 2019I was appointed as President and Group CEO of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group in April 

2019. My key responsibility as Group CEO is to leverage the business foundations and 

strengths which our predecessors built over our long history to realize the further growth 

and development of SMBC Group. There is no change in our basic principles or vision that 

we are pursuing together as SMBC Group. I will spearhead efforts to realize our medium- 

to long-term vision: “To be a global financial group that leads growth in Japan and Asia  

by earning the highest trust of our customers.”

The Future we are Facing

We are currently facing the need to evolve.
  Distortions and deviations have become visible in the framework of capitalism, which has been the 
prerequisite for the continued growth of the global economy in the post-war era. Cracks are becoming 
ever more apparent in the traditional global order led by the United States. Nationalism is on the rise 
in the United States, and we are seeing the rapid spread of anti- globalism that is symbolized by  
protectionism. In Europe, which has long walked beside the United States, democracy and multi-
culturalism, concepts that are the basic principles of European integration, are being challenged with 
populism and anti-government movements gaining momentum. There is an increasing possibility that 
the clash between the United States and China for economic, technological, and military hegemony 
will continue as China, which has expanded its presence in the global economy, pursues its unique 
brand of state capitalism. The new era of Reiwa has ushered in a world of uncertainty and doubt 
where there is no clear or agreed upon global leader.
  Domestically speaking, we are also moving into a new period. While we have been aware of this  
for quite some time, Japan is expected to face serious population decline that would accelerate the  
contraction of the domestic market. In 2040, about twenty years from now, while the global population 
is expected to increase by 20%, Japan’s working age population is expected to decrease by more 
than 20%. However, this can also be viewed as an excellent opportunity to break free of traditional 
business models. For example, it will become possible to draw out the full potential of each employee 
by implementing work style reform and streamlining operations. Furthermore, if the private and public 
sectors work together to promote innovation and improve productivity, it should reverse Japan’s decline 
in international competitiveness. I believe that Japan still possesses much growth potential although  
it is facing headwinds, such as population decline and a fall in its relative status on the global stage.
  The unprecedented levels of monetary easing pursued by various countries have led to massive 
liquidity. The Bank of Japan’s total assets now easily exceed ¥500 trillion and for the first time in the 
post-war era surpassed Japan’s GDP. This number jumps to ¥1,600 trillion if we include the total 
assets of the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. This means that the total assets 
held by the central banks of Japan, the US, and the EU have quadrupled during the decade following 
the global financial crisis. This type of liquidity may destabilize financial markets due to the increased 
risk of an asset bubble forming. The underlying question going forward will be whether central  
banks can carry-out monetary policy normalization without causing disruption given that it is an  
unprecedented challenge.
  Digitalization has brought on a paradigm shift in various industries, including the financial sector. 
Changing industrial structures and advances in technology have blurred traditional boundaries that 

15

About SMBC GroupTo Our StakeholdersBusiness Strategies for Creating ValueCorporate Infrastructure Supporting Value CreationSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Message from the Group CEO

have separated businesses. Our business has not been immune to this trend with players from  
sectors such as logistics, telecommunications, and IT entering the financial sector. In the not too 
distant future, business-based categories within the financial sector, such as banking, securities,  
and insurance may have lost all relevance, leaving only function-based categorizations, such as 
loans, deposits, payments, and investments.
  What is common among these structural changes is that they are irreversible and that they will 
have a major impact on us. In other words, issues such as Japan being our contracting “mother  
market” or intensifying competition due to entrants from other sectors are not cyclical issues which 
will eventually resolve themselves; these are unpleasant realities which we must confront head-on.  
If we are to realize sustainable growth we must, now more than ever before, look forward into the 
future and evolve relentlessly.

SMBC Group: Our Journey and Our Strengths

However, these structural changes are by no means a recent development. SMBC, SMBC Group’s 
core commercial banking entity, set sail in stormy waters when it was formed in 2001. Japan’s financial 
sector had just embarked on an age of large-scale restructuring and reorganization due to domestic 
non-performing loans becoming a serious problem under Japan’s prolonged deflationary environment. 
Shortly after we had completed paying back our public funds and turned our attention to pursuing 
growth, the US subprime loan crisis triggered the global financial crisis in 2008. The lessons that 
were learned during this period led to the tightening of international financial regulations, which was  
a game changer.
  While these events shook our business at its very foundations, each time we succeeded in realizing 
quality growth by refashioning ourselves into a stronger, more tenacious financial group. As a result of 
such changes, we have developed three universal strengths.
  First, a robust client base built upon many years of mutual trust.
  SMBC Group is made up of leading corporates operating in various industries, such as banking, 
leasing, securities, and consumer finance. The unique combination of SMBC (a Japanese megabank) 
and SMBC Nikko (one of the three major Japanese securities companies) is one of our key strengths. 
In terms of our domestic retail business, we hold the number one position in key fields, such as credit 
card memberships and consumer loan balance, with 43 million customers supported by 50 thousand 
employees.

In regards to our global business, our traditional approach was to build a strong presence by  

cultivating relationships focusing on corporate clients, for example western multi-national corporations 
and leading companies of key ASEAN countries. However, in February 2019 we completed the  
merger of BTPN, a local Indonesian bank, with PT Bank Mitsui Sumitomo Indonesia, establishing a 
platform from which we can offer a full-line of wholesale and retail banking services in Indonesia.  
The post-merger bank is staffed by approximately 20 thousand employees and serves seven million 
customers through its digital banking business where our collaborations with BTPN commenced well 
before the merger.
  Second, a solid business foundation which has been developed with proactive and speedy  
initiatives through the changing times.

Expand business and  
regional coverage

In Japan, our mother market, the business environment for commercial banks has been challeng-
ing for some time now due to low growth and low interest rates. However, by diversifying our revenue 
sources through the expansion of our business and regional coverage, the contribution of SMBC 

16

To Our Stakeholders SMBC Group Annual Report 2019 
 
 
 
Group companies other than SMBC to consolidated net business profit increased significantly  
from 8% in FY2003 to 51% in FY2018, surpassing 50% for the first time. During this time, profit  
attributable to owners of parent increased from ¥330.4 billion to ¥726.7 billion, proving that we  
have been successful in our efforts to realize quality growth.
  As a growth driver, our international business has been increasing its net business profit at an  
annual rate of 13% since the establishment of our Group. As a result, our international businesses’ 
contribution to consolidated net business profit rose from 5% in FY2003 to 33% in FY2018. We  
have also increased businesses that we are globally competitive in. For example, our project finance 
business, which a team of four employees including myself launched thirty-three years ago with the 
dream of one day becoming the best in the world, is now ranked number two in the world.
  Furthermore, in the past few years our focus has shifted from growing our topline profit to  
maximizing efficiencies given the slowdown in the growth of emerging markets, the introduction  
of the negative interest rate policy by the Bank of Japan and tightening international financial  
regulations. We have been able to raise the quality of our business foundation by reorganizing our 
Group companies (regional banking subsidiaries, leasing business, etc.), and realizing strict cost  
controls through Robotic Process Automation (“RPA”) and branch reorganization.

  Third, top-tier employees who provide advanced and client-focused business solutions.
  Employees are the most important management resource for a financial institution. The reason that 
we have been able to consistently maintain the highest loan spread among the Japanese megabanks 
and net business profit per employee at a very high level over the years is thanks to our motivated 
employees who possess excellent marketing capabilities and expertise providing speedy and on-target 
business solutions to our clients. None of our success would have been possible without the trust and 
knowhow accumulated by our employees.
  We are also carrying out work style reform related initiatives so that our employees can perform at 
an even higher level. We have introduced RPA on a Group basis and have already produced world-
class results. RPA is often described in the context of headcount reduction, but this is incorrect. The 
purpose of RPA is to leverage digital technology to free our employees from low productivity tasks and 
allow them to focus on high-value added tasks and corporate planning activities so that we can further 
enhance the quality of our products and services. Such initiatives should contribute to our growth as 
they lead to heightened employee motivation.

“I believe that if banks are  
not really needed, we do not  
have to continue being a bank.”

Stakeholder Themes that I will Work on Looking Ten,  
Twenty Years in the Future

I will work on the following stakeholder themes looking ten, twenty years in the future, while also tak-
ing into account our unchanging universal strengths and the irreversible major changes in the exter-
nal environment which I shared with you earlier.

Customers: Ensure Customer-Oriented Business Conduct and Provide New Added Value
“We grow and prosper together with our customers, by providing services of greater value to them.” 
This is the very first section of Our Mission. In addition, “Customer First” (always acting based on a 
customer-oriented mindset) has been placed at the head of our Five Values; a set of common values 
and behavioral guidelines which are shared among SMBC Group employees to realize Our Mission. 
We are working to ensure the comprehensive implementation of customer-oriented business opera-
tions based on the belief that continuously providing high quality products and services that address 
our clients’ needs increases business, which in turn leads to the growth of SMBC Group.
  We will continue our never-ending efforts to provide clients with higher quality services and new 
added value. Recently, some have made the argument that banks are no longer needed. I believe 
that if banks are not really needed, we do not have to continue being a bank. There is no need for  
us to remain as a bank if the nature of finance changes due to the spread of digitalization, leading  
to the creation of more convenient, lower priced products and services which benefit the economy  
and society, and these products and services are being provided by entities other than banks. I am 
determined that SMBC Group will become a provider of such products and services by tirelessly  
reinventing ourselves.

Shareholders: Maximize Shareholder Value by Further Enhancing Shareholder Returns and  
Realizing Sustainable Growth
I will continue to devote our utmost efforts to maximize shareholder value by further enhancing share-
holder returns and realizing sustainable growth.
  The goal of our basic capital policy is to achieve a healthy balance between securing financial 
soundness, enhancing shareholder returns, and investing for growth. In regards to securing financial

To Our Stakeholders SMBC Group Annual Report 2019 
 
soundness, our CET1 ratio at the end of FY2018 reached the 10% target set under the Medium-Term 
Management Plan, one year ahead of schedule. As such, we will shift from a phase where capital 
accumulation was the priority to a new stage where we can focus on strengthening share holders 
returns and investing for growth.
  Going forward, we will strive to maximize shareholder value by further enhancing shareholder  
returns and realizing sustainable growth as a result of striking the right balance of allocating capital 
between shareholder returns and investing for growth. In terms of investing for growth, we will engage 
in organic investments to accelerate the growth of our domestic and global businesses, in addition to 
pursuing inorganic opportunities in a disciplined manner. Potential inorganic opportunities which  
we may pursue would be investments in global businesses and portfolios which possess high capital 
or asset efficiencies, and investments related to the construction of business platforms aimed at  
realizing future growth.
  Dividends are our principal approach to shareholder returns, and we are aiming to achieve a  
dividend payout ratio of 40% during the next Medium-Term Management Plan. In respect to flexible 
share buybacks, we implemented a ¥70 billion share buyback program in May 2018 and a ¥100 
billion share buyback program in May 2019. The total payout ratio for FY2019 is expected to be 50%, 
which means that we will return exactly half of our earnings to shareholders. We have been steadily 
enhancing shareholder returns with our total payout ratio increasing by 20% over the three year  
period covered by the current Medium-Term Management Plan.

Employees: Create a Work Environment Where Employees can Pursue Their Dreams with  
Confidence and Ambition.
I will create a work environment where each one of our employees can pursue their dreams with 
confidence and ambition.
  Ever since I was appointed as Group CEO, I have been calling on employees to “Break the Mold.”
  We will surely be left behind in this era of rapid change if we shut ourselves behind our molds,  
in other words, if our thoughts and actions are constrained by precedent and preconceptions, prohib-
iting us from engaging in self-improvement. Financial institutions have traditionally been considered 
as being conservative and as devoted followers of the so called “demerit principle.” Now we must 
actively pursue new challenges and determine how we can best leverage the experiences we have 
gained through past failures. I will create an energetic workplace in which our employees bravely 
pursue new challenges with their colleagues being inspired by such challenges, leading to a steady 
stream of new business opportunities being developed.

In addition, we will also revise our human resources framework so that our employees can carry out 

their responsibilities with a sense of enthusiasm and maximize their potential. For example, with the 
aim of encouraging employees to engage in new challenges, SMBC is in the process of revising its 
human resources framework based on the three concepts of Fair: A framework that fairly evaluates 
and rewards our employees, Challenge: A framework that encourages and rewards an employee’s 
desire to engage in more challenging responsibilities, and Chance: A framework under which all  
employees are given opportunities to demonstrate their abilities to the fullest extent. In addition, as 
Group CEO, I will redouble our efforts to develop next generation leaders and assign employees based 
on the “right person for the right position” approach. I believe that developing a culture and establish-
ing a framework that allows employees to pursue their dreams with confidence and ambition is one of 
the key tasks of a business leader.

Environment and Society: Resolving Social Issues Through Our Business Operations and  
Our Initiatives Related to the Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”).
We are currently facing various environmental and social issues which need to be addressed on a 
global basis, for example climate change resulting from global warming and human rights violations 
in supply chains operating in emerging markets. Financial institutions are expected to play a substan-
tial role in addressing such developments as our business allows us to act as a hub connecting  
various industries. SMBC Group will further strengthen efforts to resolve social issues through our 
business operations and in relation to our SDG related initiatives so that we may realize the sustain-
able development of society.
  We at SMBC Group have positioned the sustainable development of society as a key issue and in 
October 2018 reorganized the CSR Committee into the Corporate Sustainability Committee to enable 
us to better carry out CSR-related initiatives. The committee has the strong support of top manage-
ment, I serve as the Chairperson of the committee, and it will lead our efforts to promote sustainability 
management based on a non-financial perspective. Furthermore, we have designated Environment, 
Next Generation, and Community as social issues we will address over the medium- to long-term.  
We designated ten goals within the SDGs to focus on in order to resolve the three social issues and 
have incorporated them into our business units’ strategies and initiatives. Our initiatives have been 
highly evaluated by outside parties as illustrated by the fact that Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group  
is included in many of the world’s major ESG indices. We will continue to engage in group-based  
efforts from the perspectives of Environment, Next Generation, and Community to resolve social  
issues via our business operations and to achieve the SDGs.

The Environment
We continue to engage in proactive initiatives that are ahead of our competitors. In December 2017, 
SMBC Group expressed its support for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures 
(TCFD), a task force established by the Financial Stability Board. As a part of our efforts, in April 
2019 SMBC Group became the first global financial institution to calculate the financial impact of 
climate-related risks and disclose the detailed results of such calculations. Furthermore, in February 
2019 SMBC promptly announced its endorsement of the Principles for Responsible Banking put 
forward by the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative.
  With environmentally friendly finance drawing increasing attention, SMBC has limited the financing 
of new coal-fired power plants to those using ultra-supercritical or more highly efficient methods,  
in addition to the issuance of green bonds to fund eco-friendly projects. Furthermore, SMBC Nikko 
established the SDGs Finance Department in September 2018 to support clients in issuing SDG 
bonds, namely green bonds, and raise funds that help resolve social and environmental issues.

Society
From the standpoint of initiatives aimed at addressing social issues, SMBC Group companies,  
such as SMBC, SMBC Nikko, and SMBC Consumer Finance have been focusing on financial literacy 
education based on their respective business models. In addition, in light of Japan’s changing

demographics, SMBC Group is introducing facilities and services in order to become a financial insti-
tution which all our customers, including elderly customers, customers with cognitive impairments, 
and customers with disabilities feel comfortable dealing with.
  We will also accelerate our diversity-related initiatives to further enhance the engagement of our 
employees, one of SMBC Group’s strengths. The ratio of female managers is on an upward trend with 
SMBC announcing a new target of 25% to be achieved by the end of FY2019 as they had achieved 
their original target of 20% by FY2020 ahead of schedule. The ratio of locally hired General Managers 
is also rising, reaching 34% as of April 2019. Having said this however, our diversity-related initiatives 
are far from complete as long as we continue to apply categorizations such as “sex” and “locally 
hired.” SMBC Group will continue its efforts to construct a truly diverse workplace in which innovation 
is realized as a result of employees of different backgrounds and attributes, such as gender, national-
ity, and values engaging in open and free-spirited debate.

Governance
We realize that there is no perfect form for corporate governance structures. Accordingly, we  
will continue working, on both a group and global basis, toward the enhancement of corporate  
governance in order to realize higher levels of effectiveness. In April 2017, we instituted a new Group 
governance system through the introduction of group-wide business units and the CxO system. In 
June of the same year, we transitioned to a Company with Three Committees. Due to these changes,  
I feel that at our Board of Director meetings “big-picture” discussions have increased as it is now 
possible to engage in more intensive deliberations while leveraging the expertise of our outside  
directors. In June 2019, the number of directors was reduced from 17 to 15. As a result, the ratio  
of outside directors sitting on the Board of Directors rose to 47%. Also, in June 2019, SMBC and 
SMBC Nikko transformed to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee in order to  
accelerate the execution of operations and enhance the Board of Directors’ supervisory capabilities.
In August 2018, SMBC Group established the SMBC Group Global Advisory Meeting, a meeting 

which SMBC Group Global Advisors, a select group of experts in global political, economic, and  
business matters, would act in an advisory capacity to the SMBC Group Management Committee. 
The management committee is receiving valuable advice concerning changes in global trends and 
the state of various countries’ political and economic environments. We are also working to ensure 
the effectiveness of corporate governance-related efforts by conducting compliance surveys so that 
management is aware of our employees’ thoughts and concerns.

Progress of the Medium-Term Management Plan and the  
Focus of Our Strategies Going Forward

I will now address the progress we have made regarding the strategic initiatives introduced under the 
current Medium-Term Management Plan and discuss the focus of our strategies going forward.

In April 2017, the Medium-Term Management Plan “SMBC Group Next Stage” was introduced 
under the new Group management system, and we have been engaging in various initiatives focusing 
on three core policies: Discipline, Focus, and Integration.
  Generally speaking, we have produced solid results during the first two years in terms of imple-
mented initiatives and financial results.
  First, I will discuss the core policy of Discipline. Under the current Medium-Term Management 
Plan we have consistently looked to better control our costs. During the first two years we realized

cost savings of ¥36 billion versus the three year target of ¥50 billion due to the success of key  
initiatives, such as business process reform through the application of RPA and the transformation  
of all of the 430 SMBC branches into smart branches (259 branches have been converted into  
smart branches in the first two years). We also improved asset and capital efficiencies as a result  
of implementing a number of measures aimed at reorganizing our Group companies, for example 
Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Co., Ltd., the two Kansai regional banks, Sumitomo Mitsui 
Card Company, and BTPN.
  For Focus, initiatives targeting each of the Seven Core Business Areas are producing steady results. 
Our Retail Business Unit is transforming its wealth management business into a management fee 
based revenue model from its original sales commission based revenue model. Our International 
Business Unit accelerated its Multi-Franchise Strategy by merging BTPN and PT Bank Mitsui  
Sumitomo Indonesia. In our asset management business, Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management  
Company merged with Daiwa SB Investments in April 2019 to form Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset  
Management. The new company has ¥21 trillion of assets under management, number eight in  
the domestic market.
  For Integration, as I have discussed earlier, initiatives related to enhancing the Group management 
system, digitalization, and ESGs are being steadily carried out.

Digitalization Initiatives
Going forward, I believe digitalization will be a key decisive factor in determining a company’s com-
petitive advantage, regardless of the industry it is operating in. In order to realize our goals of becoming 
“A Group which leads the evolution of the financial sector” and “A Group that drives innovation with-
out being bound by existing frameworks or boundaries,” we are accelerating our digitalization initia-
tives with cashless payment, data utilization, and generating new businesses as the key themes.
  For example, cashless payment in Japan is not as popular as in other countries given that it  
possesses a highly developed banking system which offers a variety of services, such as account 
transfers, and the high level of trust placed in cash. However, we view Japan’s cashless payment 
market as having great growth potential over the medium- to long-term. If we take a closer look at the 
market, the value of credit card settlements is about ¥50 trillion while the value of cash settlement 
remains quite high at about ¥130 trillion. I believe that promoting cashless payments in Japan and 
taking over some of the market share from cash settlements will lead to substantial business opportu-
nities. With Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company and Cedyna, SMBC Group has top-tier capabilities in 
both the issuing and acquiring operations in Japan. As part of efforts to further expand our competitive 
advantage, we entered into a strategic partnership with GMO Payment Gateway, a leading company 
in the electronic commerce and online payment market, and Visa, a company that possesses the 
world’s largest payment network, to develop a next-generation payment platform. We are also working

to expand the availability of cashless payments to medium and small size merchants through  
collaboration with Square, a US company with which we have a capital and business partnership,  
by providing free of charge small terminals that process credit card payments. SMBC Group will  
continue to act as a front-runner in the spread of cashless payments in Japan.

In recent years, advances in digital technology have enabled the collection and analysis of large 
volumes of diverse data. The utilization of data, which has been called “the oil of the 21st century,” is 
drawing the attention of not only the financial sector but of various industries from around the world. 
SMBC Group companies operating in the banking, securities, and consumer finance businesses pos-
sess a tremendous volume of payment and credit information. Of course, ensuring the protection of 
our customers’ information and data security are key issues which must be addressed prior to the use 
of such data, and SMBC Group’s expertise in information management and the trust which we have 
accumulated over many years are significant advantages when addressing our customers’ concerns. 
SMBC Group already has a head start in the application of data for business purposes with SMBC 
developing a system which uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) to detect changes in a company’s financial 
conditions, while SMBC Nikko has launched an investment information service which uses AI to pre-
dict individual stock prices. With these initiatives being highly evaluated, SMBC became the only bank 
to be selected as a “Competitive IT Strategy Company 2019” by METI and the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
  Generating new business through collaborations with other industries is also an important theme. 
In September 2019, SMBC Group established an innovation hub, hoops link tokyo, in Shibuya, Tokyo. 
As part of hoops link tokyo’s activities, we established SMBC BREWERY, a workshop program con-
ducted by SMBC Group together with outside companies. The AI investment information service 
which I introduced earlier was a new business developed as a result of SMBC BREWERY bringing 
together HEROZ, inc., a company renowned for its Shogi (Japanese chess) AI, with SMBC Nikko.

Risk Management Initiatives
While there are an extremely diverse set of risk factors which global financial institutions must pay 
close attention to, AML/CFT and cybersecurity are issues which are of particular concern, along with 
growing geopolitical risks and prolonged monetary easing.
  With the threat of terrorism rising throughout the world, international AML/CFT standards have 
rapidly increased in severity, and we have seen many cases in which companies have been subject to 
substantial fines levied by overseas regulatory authorities. Overlooking the movement of funds con-
nected to criminal or terrorist activities can disrupt the lives of law abiding citizens as it allows criminal 
proceeds to reach criminal and terrorist organizations. In addition, there is the risk that international 
trust in Japan’s financial system will be damaged if it is deemed that related controls and frameworks 
put in place by Japanese financial institutions are inadequate. The onsite inspection related to the 
fourth round of the FATF mutual evaluation for Japan is scheduled to commence in fall 2019.  
Management has been driving efforts to ensure SMBC Group’s success in the mutual evaluation by 
launching a cross-group project team to review AML risk and client management procedures while 
incorporating the recommendations of third party experts, in addition to strengthening related  
systems and heightening employees’ awareness.

Message from the Group CEO

  Although convenience is increasing with business and operational processes becoming digitalized, 
cybersecurity risk is growing at a rapid pace because every system is now connected to the internet. 
Finance is a key part of the economic and social infrastructure of today’s world, and it goes without 
saying that system failures, data breaches, and data tampering resulting from cyberattacks would not 
only seriously impact SMBC Group’s operations but also Japan’s economic activities and the lives of 
Japanese people. In fact, as a result of global networks there is the risk that such attacks would also 
substantially affect the systems of countries around the world. SMBC Group recognizes cyber-risk as a 
key management risk, and management is leading efforts to implement various measures to strengthen 
our cybersecurity measures based on the Declaration of Cyber Security Management issued in March 
2018 to address cyber-threats which are becoming increasingly sophisticated on a daily basis. Some 
examples of such measures are training personnel to ensure that they have the necessary expertise and 
experience and establishing contingency plans aimed at realizing prompt recovery from cyber-incidents.

The Focus of Our Strategies Going Forward

FY2019 is the final year of the current Medium-Term Management Plan. Thanks to the above  
mentioned initiatives delivering the desired results, we have made good progress concerning the 
three financial targets of financial soundness, capital efficiency, and cost efficiency set under the 
Medium-Term Management Plan. However, we cannot deny the fact that uncertainty in the global 
economy’s future is increasing. Given such a backdrop, SMBC Group aims to reach its goals by  
focusing its resources with a keen sense of urgency to ensure that its various initiatives produce  
results, and we will consistently strive to be one step ahead of the times and clearly understand  
what our customers’ true needs are.
  The new Medium-Term Management Plan will not be a mere extension of the current plan, rather, 
we are planning to actively debate a range of topics, including new business opportunities, without 
being bound by a traditional mindset. I have identified the following three points as the focus of our 
strategies going forward so that we can meet the true needs of our customers by taking full advantage 
of our competitive strength; our ability to keep-up with the changing times by transforming ourselves.

Bold Transformation
In response to the challenging earnings environment, we will focus on evolving our business model 
and optimizing the allocation of resources. For example, in our Retail Business Unit, we will realize 
sustainable growth by making further progress in our efforts to shift the business model of our wealth 
management business from one that relies on sales commissions generated by investment products 
to one that relies on management fees generated by customers’ assets under management (“AUM”) 
while reducing costs through branch reorganization and the promotion of digitalization. In the Inter-
national Business Unit, we will shift to a growth model that does not rely on expanding our balance 
sheet. Furthermore, in addition to expanding our business and regional coverage by investing for 
growth, including through inorganic measures looking at businesses’ growth potential, profitability, 
and efficiency, we will continue to pursue our “select and concentrate” strategy and further  
strengthen our cost control initiatives.

Continuous Innovation
The spread of digitalization is changing how the financial sector operates, with SMBC Group’s role 
and the expectation of our customers also changing. In the face of such change, SMBC Group will 

 P94

24

To Our Stakeholders SMBC Group Annual Report 2019 
engage in continuous innovation so that we not only survive but thrive in this environment. We will 
consistently provide new value to our customers by identifying what the next age will bring, focusing on 
generating new business by collaborating with other industries, utilizing data, and process automation.

Maximize Our Group Values
I feel that the Group management system centered on the holding company has steadily taken root 
over the past two years through group-wide business units and the CxO system. On the other hand, 
potential still remains in various sectors to expand Group synergies. In addition to determining how to 
best increase the corporate value of SMBC Group companies, for example via increased investment 
and allocating human resources to growth areas, we will enhance our ability to address customers’ 
needs by maximizing synergies as a result of further expanding collaborations among Group  
companies and optimizing resource allocation on an SMBC Group basis.

Building the Future of the Financial Sector

Looking back over our history, you can see that we have overcome various challenges, for example 
issues regarding non-performing loans and the global financial crisis, by continuously evolving.  
The impact of the structural changes we are currently facing equals or even exceeds that of past 
challenges, but I firmly believe that they present a rare opportunity for us, if we can face these  
changes head-on and adjust accordingly, to drive forward our competitive advantages.

I am certain that we can unlock a new era and build the future of finance, if we boldly pursue cutting- 
edge initiatives which are one step ahead of the times while steadily carrying-out strategies formulated 
under a long-term vision leveraging the various strengths of SMBC Group which I have shared with you 
during the course of this message. We will pursue further excellence through tireless self-reinvention.
In closing, I would like to ask for the continued support and understanding of all our stakeholders.

Toru Nakashima
Group CFO
Director Senior Managing Corporate Executive Officer

I was appointed as Group CFO and CSO in April 2019. The positions of CFO and CSO are  

concurrently held by the same individual based on the belief that in the context of management, 

financial and business strategies are two sides of the same coin. In other words, we believe  

that both strategies are fundamental to the continued success of our business. By having one  

individual fill these two roles, it makes it possible to accelerate the decision making process  

and consistently take into account both perspectives when developing strategies. 

Business Management Focusing on Enhancing Operational Efficiencies 

SMBC Group aims to become a resilient, first class global 
financial group by focusing on enhancing capital, asset,  
and cost efficiencies. In order to realize this vision, we have 
established three financial targets in the current Medium-
Term Management Plan: ROE, OHR, and CET1 ratio.
  We produced strong financial results for 1H FY2018 with  
all four of our business units realizing a Year-on-Year increase 
in profit. We have exceeded our targets for consolidated net 
business profit and profit attributable to owners of parent due 

to the performance of the International Business Unit and  
a group-wide cost control approach, although the Retail  
Business Unit’s wealth management business experienced 
difficulties in 2H FY2018 due to deteriorating market  
conditions. Controlling risk-weighted assets through the  
reorganization of Group companies, which I will describe in 
more detail later, was also an important factor behind the 
strong results in regards to our three financial targets.

Transforming Our Business and Asset Portfolio

Cost Control

In order to enhance capital and asset efficiencies, we need to 
maximize returns by carefully selecting target businesses and 
focusing our resources on those businesses. SMBC Group has 
been swiftly reorganizing its Group companies by reviewing its 
business and asset portfolio based upon the goals and strate-
gies established under the Medium-Term Management Plan. 
  We carried out in rapid-succession the reorganization of 
businesses for which there was room to improve capital and 
asset efficiencies and merged overlapping business that ex-
isted within SMBC Group. In addition to the merger of SMBC 
Nikko and SMBC Friend Securities and the deconsolidation  
of the Kansai regional banks, in FY2018 we reorganized our 
leasing business to deconsolidate Sumitomo Mitsui Finance 
and Leasing and consolidated BTPN by merging the bank 
with PT Bank Mitsui Sumitomo Indonesia and by increasing 
our capital investment. In April 2019, we also merged  
Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Company with Daiwa  
SB Investments and turned Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company, 
a joint venture with NTT DOCOMO, into a wholly owned  
subsidiary. Both of these initiatives contributed to improving 
capital and asset efficiencies by increasing bottom-line profit 
and/or reducing risk weighted assets.
  These reorganizations possess multiple merits, not only  
from the standpoint of improving efficiencies but also business 
strategy. For example, due to the reorganization of our leasing 
business, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing is able to 
expand its leasing operations by entering into new businesses 
while SMBC Group is now able to initiate strategic initiatives 
through Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company in a flexible and 
speedy manner, making the company the central piece of  
our group’s cashless payment strategy.

Please refer to page 52 for the reorganization of Group companies

The current Medium-Term Management Plan has a  
target to reduce cost by ¥50 billion during its three years by 
implementing three key initiatives: business reform to improve 
efficiency, retail branch reorganization, and reorganization of 
Group companies. We have already realized cost savings of 
¥36 billion as of the end of FY2018 and expect to exceed  
our target of ¥50 billion in FY2019. 
  For business reform to improve efficiency, we are proactively 
introducing RPA to various parts of our business and SMBC 
Group has already produced world-class results. The Medium-
Term Management Plan set a target to automate three million 
working hours (annual workload of 1,500 employees) of op-
erations for which we have already accomplished automating 
two million working hours (annual workload of 1,025 employ-
ees) as of the end of FY2018. For retail branch reorganization, 
our goal is to transform all of the 430 branches into smart 
branches which leverage digital technologies during the three 
year term. As of the end of FY2018, 259 branches have been 
transformed into smart branches and we have consolidated 
the back-office clerical operations of 278 branches. In regard 
to reorganization of our Group companies, we are expecting  
to realize cost reductions which exceed our target via the 
integrated management of Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company 
and Cedyna Financial Corporation which was not planned at 
the time of preparing the current Medium-Term Management 
Plan. We will continue to reduce cost with our medium-term 
goal being ¥100 billion.
  Furthermore, while we initially planned to reduce the  
workload equivalent to four thousand employees through the 
key initiatives, we now expect to exceed this target and reduce 
the workload equivalent to five thousand employees as we 
have introduced RPA to Group companies other than SMBC. 
We expect to reduce our domestic headcount by about four 
thousand through attrition taking into account the above 
mentioned workload reduction.

  While we will continue our efforts to reduce cost so that we 
may achieve our OHR target, we understand the importance 
of making the necessary investments in IT given the rapid 
spread of digitalization. As such, we have been reviewing our 
budget during the fiscal year in a flexible manner so that we 

can address changes in the environment. Of course, we are 
applying ample levels of discipline when engaging in such 
investments, carefully studying the benefits that they will bring.

Our Capital Policy: A New Stage

Our Basic Capital Policy

Enhancing Shareholder Returns

As stated in the “Message from the Group CEO,” the goal of 
our basic capital policy is to achieve a healthy balance among 
securing financial soundness, enhancing shareholder returns, 
and investing for growth. We will shift from a phase where 
capital accumulation was the priority to a new stage where  
we will focus on shareholder returns and investing for growth, 
as we reached our CET1 ratio target of 10% as of the end of 
FY2018, one year ahead of schedule. We have traditionally 
used a triangle to illustrate our basic capital policy with  
securing financial soundness placed at the top. To show that 
our capital policy has entered a new stage, we have started 
using an inverted triangle with enhancing shareholder returns 
and investing for growth at the top. Going forward, we will 
focus on striking the right balance of allocating capital to  
these two items.

Dividends are our principal approach to shareholder returns. 
We will pursue a progressive dividends policy, a policy which 
means that we will not reduce dividends; we will maintain or 
increase dividends. Our goal is to achieve a payout ratio of 40% 
during the next Medium-Term Management Plan. In addition, 
we will proceed with share buybacks on a flexible basis.
  Based on this policy, we increased our dividend for FY2018 
to ¥180 per share, ¥10 higher than our initial forecast, and 
announced a ¥100 billion share buyback program in May 
2019. This was an increase of ¥30 billion from the previous 
year. We decided to increase the amount due to various fac-
tors, such as the fact that we had achieved our CET1 ratio 
target, we expect to continue to accumulate profits in FY2019, 
current growth investment opportunities, our stock price, and 
the positive impact on ROE. Among them, our low stock price 
was the key factor.

Investing for Growth

SMBC Group will pursue sustainable growth by using its 
capital to invest in growth opportunities. While we focused on 
capital accumulation and not increasing risk weighted assets 
prior to achieving our CET1 ratio goal, going forward we will 
pursue organic growth by increasing assets, especially in 
overseas markets. We will determine whether to pursue  
M&A opportunities based on whether the deal contributes to 
sustained ROE improvement following the three investment 
criteria shown in the basic capital policy chart. Potential M&A 
opportunities which we will pursue will be investments that 
focus on global businesses and portfolios which possess  
high capital or asset efficiencies and investments related to 
the construction of business platforms aimed at realizing 
future growth.
  The former refers to areas in which SMBC Group possess 
global strengths. Past investments include aircraft leasing, rail 
car leasing, and middle-market LBO finance. Investments of 
this type will not only further strengthen our global business 
but will also promptly raise ROE. Some examples of invest-
ments of the latter type are commercial banking in Asia, asset 
management, securities, and trust banking businesses. In 
February 2019, the merger of BTPN and PT Bank Sumitomo 
Mitsui Indonesia was completed with the post-merger bank 
becoming the eighth largest commercial bank in Indonesia in 
terms of loan balance. We will pursue investment opportunities

in other countries so that we can create a second, or potentially 
a third, SMBC Group. 
  How we use our capital is drawing increasing attention from 
our shareholders and investors as a result of our capital policy 
shifting to a new stage. We began using the chart shown below 
as of the beginning of this fiscal year at investor presentations 
so that we could better convey how we are using our capital.
  Profit attributable to owners of parent is expected to be 
¥700 billion in FY2019, and we are allocating ¥250 billion to 
dividends and ¥100 billion to share buybacks. This means 
that we will return about half of our profit to shareholders. In 
terms of investing for growth, we allocated ¥80 billion to the 
conversion of Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company to a wholly 
owned subsidiary and the merger of Sumitomo Mitsui Asset 
Management Company and Daiwa SB Investments, both of 
which took place in April 2019. We are planning to allocate 
about ¥150 billion to organic growth opportunities with the focus 
being on increasing assets overseas. The remaining capital 
will be allocated to other growth investment opportunities.

Securing Financial Soundness

Although our capital policy has entered a new stage,  
there is no change to the fact that capital will be allocated to 
enhancing shareholder returns or investing for growth only 
when we are sure that financial soundness has been secured.

  Our CET1 ratio target of 10% has been calculated taking 
into account the impact of the Basel III reforms which were 
finalized in December 2017, and as I stated earlier we 
achieved this target as of the end of FY2018. We set our target 
at a level which allows us to maintain the minimum CET1 ratio 
of 8% even in the case of a once-in-a-decade stress scenario. 
  Furthermore, the TLAC framework came into effect in Japan 
from the end of March 2019. The minimum TLAC require-
ments which SMBC Group must satisfy are 16% in terms of 
risk-weighted assets and 6% of the leverage exposure mea-
sure. SMBC Group has cleared both requirements as of the 
end of FY2018. We are currently working to secure the capital 
required to satisfy the new TLAC requirements, which will 
increase starting from 2022 to 18% and 6.75%, respectively. 
The minimum acceptable leverage ratio has been set at 3.0% 
for 2019-2021 and 3.5% for 2022 onwards. SMBC Group  
has already secured a leverage ratio of 4.88% as of the end  
of FY2018.

Reducing Strategic Shareholdings 

Our goal is to reduce strategic shareholdings in five years by 
¥500 billion (book value basis) based on the policy: “We will 
halve the ratio of stocks to CET1 to 14% over the five years 
starting 2015 September-end.” SMBC Group has reduced  
its strategic shareholdings by ¥360 billion since 2015

FY2018. In addition, we have obtained our clients’ consent  
to sell a further ¥88 billion of strategic shareholdings that has  
yet to be executed. Thus, as of the end of FY2018 we have 
practically realized a total reduction of ¥448 billion.
  We will continue efforts to reduce our strategic share-
holdings so that we have reached a level at the end of FY2019 

where we have practically achieved our final target figure  
with the aim of conforming to Japan’s amended Corporate 
Governance Code and mitigating the impact of share price 
fluctuations on our financial base.

Communicating with Our Shareholders and Investors

Although I was appointed as Group CFO in April 2019,  
I communicated with institutional and individual investors  
during FY2018 in my role as Deputy Group CFO. I engaged in 
numerous discussions with investors during my four overseas 
investor relations trips and the various conferences which I 
took part in. I also met with representatives from domestic and 
overseas credit rating agencies. While I became confident that 
we were able to gain the understanding of our shareholders/
investors regarding the aims and goals of our strategies 
through these discussions, I also came to appreciate the very 
high expectations our shareholders/investors had regarding 
the enhancement of shareholder returns. In response to such 
matters, we decided to increase dividend payments and share 
buybacks in our FY2019 shareholder return policy following 
repeated discussions at meetings of our Board of Directors.  

In addition, my discussion with shareholders/investors  
regarding ESG and SDGs led to SMBC calculating and  
disclosing the financial impact of climate change as part  
of our TCFD- related measures. 

I strongly believe that one of my most important missions  

as Group CFO is to engage in constructive discussions  
with investors and analysts. SMBC Group will continue to 
proactively disclose information that is useful to shareholders/
investors while leveraging interactive communications to 
increase our corporate value and realize sustainable growth.

nnual Report 2019

To Our Stakeholders SMBC Group Annual Report 2019The economy and society are in the process of undergoing 
major change due to the spread of digitalization. Technology  
is progressing at an astonishing speed, and SMBC Group  
is faced with a situation in which its business model may  
undergo change of such a scale that it could be seen as a 
paradigm shift. There is no doubt that this is a substantial 
challenge for us. However, I believe that there is much  
potential for us to evolve by absorbing and adopting these 
technological advances. In addition, we will collaborate with 
external partners to create new business opportunities, which 
would not have been possible based solely on the resources 
and expertise of SMBC Group. 

In our current Medium-Term Management Plan “SMBC 

Group Next Stage,” we have positioned digitalization as a pillar 
which penetrates all Seven Core Business Areas. More specifi-
cally, we will spread digitalization by leveraging new technol-
ogy, such as blockchain and AI, in all business areas with the 
goal of increasing customer convenience, creating new busi-
nesses, increasing productivity and efficiency, and enhancing 
our business infrastructure.
  For example, in the cashless payment sector we are in the 
midst of creating a next-generation payment platform with the 
aim of providing hybrid payment solutions that fuse together 
finance, IT, and marketing. Furthermore, by using data which 

is accumulated through activities such as payments, we are 
working to develop and provide advanced financial products 
using high-quality risk analysis and realize a more personal-
ized approach to marketing. New business models which 
leverage data, such as the information bank business model, 
are being developed, and I believe there is the possibility that 
in the future SMBC Group will gradually move from the  
financial sector to the information sector.

Our digitalization initiatives have been recognized  
by outside parties

Received an award in the Cyber Security Category  
(conducted by a subsidiary of the Financial Times)

Selected as a “Competitive IT Strategy Company 2019”  
by METI and the Tokyo Stock Exchange

Reinventing SMBC Group and Pursuing New Opportunities

In order to implement our digitalization initiatives in a speedy 
and efficient manner, we must engage in open innovation that 
brings together the data, technology, and expertise of not  
only SMBC Group companies, but also of partner companies, 
which include start-ups, and our customers. We will no  
longer rely on our traditional principle of self-sufficiency; 
rather, we will focus on developing business opportunities by  
collaborating with partners, including the use of application 
programming interface (“API”s.) 

In regards to the digitalization of SMBC Group, I believe  
it is important that innovation is not undertaken by a small 
group of personnel or divisions with specialized skill sets. 
Digitalization must involve all parties within SMBC Group. In 
order to make this vision a reality, we need to create an envi-
ronment in which all SMBC Group employees, especially our 
younger employees, can pursue new challenges without fear 
of failure. At the same time as CDIO, I will become SMBC 

Group’s disruptor and spearhead efforts to drive forward 
initiatives that are not bound by traditional frameworks.
  We will create high-quality, appealing services by focusing 
equally on accelerating the reinvention of SMBC Group’s 
business culture, for example marketing style and the work-
style of head office employees, and pursuing new opportuni-
ties. All of our customers will be offered these services,  
regardless of whether they are wholesale or retail customers.

Using Digital Technology to Create the Future of Finance

A company’s IT strategy is a key business strategy given the rapid digitalization of our world. 

SMBC Group has positioned digitalization as an initiative that will encompass all Seven Core 

Business Areas and will promote digitalization from both defensive and offensive perspectives. 

  I would now like to share with you a few examples of SMBC Group’s digitalization  

related initiatives.

Promoting Open Innovation

SMBC BREWERY
SMBC BREWERY, a workshop in which SMBC Group 
companies collaborate with non-financial sector 
partners to develop new ideas, kicked-off in April 
2018. SMBC Group companies spend half a day 
working with companies, including start-ups, from 
outside the financial sector to discuss ideas  
on which they could collaborate. 
  Through the workshop, SMBC Nikko and HEROZ, 
inc., a firm with considerable expertise in AI, part-
nered together to develop an investment information 
service “AI Portfolio Diagnosis*,” a service which has 
been successfully commercialized and is available  
to customers.

* The AI program compiles a suggested portfolio with a high expected 
rate of return by forecasting companies’ profitability one month in  
the future based on an analysis of factors such as stock price  
and earnings.

Discovering and Developing  
Cutting Edge Technology

The SMFG Silicon Valley Digital  
Innovation Laboratory
The SMFG Silicon Valley Digital Innovation  
Laboratory was established in Silicon Valley and is in 
charge of discovering high-potential local start-ups. 
For example, SMBC Group adopted Trifacta Wrangler 
Enterprise, software which dramatically accelerates 
data analysis, starting March 2019. Traifcacta,  
the company which developed the software, was 
discovered by the SMFG Silicon Valley Digital  
Innovation Laboratory.

Establishing the Advanced Technology  
Laboratory
SMBC Group has established the Advanced  
Technology Laboratory at The Japan Research  
Institute, and through the laboratory we conduct 
research/studies into basic and advanced  
technology in collaboration with IT companies  
and research institutes.

A system that detects changes in a company’s finan-
cial conditions which was developed in  
partnership with JSOL*, a company that engages in 
IT consulting and systems development, uses AI to 
analyze movements in the target company’s bank 
account to recognize changes in the company’s 
financial conditions in a timely manner. The system  
is already in use at SMBC and SMBC Group is  
planning to market the system to customers with  
the initial focus being Japanese regional banks.

While cashless payments are increasing in popularity all over 
the world, cashless payments account for only about 20% of 
payments made in Japan. Having said this, interest in cash-
less payments in Japan has been rapidly increasing in recent 
years. The Japanese government has set a target to increase 
the ratio of cashless payments to 40% by 2025.  
A variety of measures to promote cashless payments, for 
example a points reward program for consumers and subsi-
dies for fees associated with cashless payment terminals, are 
scheduled to be introduced to coincide with the scheduled 
2019 consumption tax rise.
  Japan’s cashless payments market has grown while also 
becoming more diverse and complicated with new payment 
methods, such as mobile payments and QR codes, joining  
the more traditional methods of credit cards, debit cards,  
and e-money. In order to accelerate the spread of cashless  

payments in Japan, it is not enough to merely offer new  
payment methods. Rather, we believe that the best strategy  
is to create an open payment platform which can address  
the needs of both merchants and end-users in a flexible  
and speedy manner. 
  SMBC Group has Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company and 
Cedyna, two credit card companies that have long led Japan’s 
cashless payment market, amongst its Group companies. 
From April 2019 we started to manage, in practice, the two 
firms as a single business entity, an entity which forms the 
cornerstone of SMBC Group’s cashless payment strategy. 
SMBC Group will drive the spread of cashless payments in 
Japan by implementing a highly efficient and up-tempo strategy 
that brings together the wide-ranging strengths of our business 
partners, the expertise accumulated by Sumitomo Mitsui Card 
Company and Cedyna, and the client base of SMBC.

manpower required to processes payments, and stimulat-
ing consumption via the use of payment data.
  We believe that the key aspects to spreading cashless 
payments in Japan are not merely convenience and  
rationality. Carrying “safety” which also results in carrying 
“peace of mind and freedom” are also key aspects of 
spreading cashless payments in Japan.
  A society in which anybody can spend their days in  
a carefree manner. A society in which each day is free  
and welcoming. 
  Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company has adopted the motto 
“Have a good Cashless” to reflect these values.

The reason for the slow spread of cashless payments in 
Japan is the convenience offered by Japan’s extensive 
ATM network and the ease which cash can be obtained, 
for example consumers feeling safe carrying cash due to 
Japan’s low crime rate. Having said this, there are a  
number of positive factors that will arise from the spread  
of cashless payments, such as increased liquidity, less

Visa, the company that possesses the world’s largest payment 
network, joined Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company and GMO 
Payment Gateway in establishing a next-generation payment 
platform. In February 2019, the three companies came to an 
agreement to develop an even stronger payment platform by 
bringing together each company’s respective skills and 
expertise. 
  Our goal is to build a payment platform which satisfies the 
following criteria: 1) The terminal must be compatible with the 
large number of cashless payment options which exist in the 
domestic market, a situation which can be said to be unique 
to Japan, 2) The platform must seamlessly merge the online 
and real worlds, and 3) The platform must provide new high-
value added services while offering world-class security. We 

are aiming to launch the new platform during FY2019. 
  Lately, we are seeing an increasing number of non-financial 
companies introduce their own, unique payment service with 
the aim of obtaining and using customers’ payment data. We 
at SMBC Group have also identified the successful use of data 
obtained from payments as a key part of our cashless payment 
strategy. SMBC Group possesses one of Japan’s largest  
cashless payment foundations, processing payments worth 
¥30 trillion. SMBC Group will develop/enhance our ability to 
support businesses’ marketing needs and produce competi-
tive services while increasing the added value we derive from 
our payment data by fully leveraging this foundation so that 
our next-generation payment platform is used by as many 
merchants and end-users as possible.

Enhancing Solutions for Merchants  

Enhancing Services to End-users 

By promoting the adoption of Square, a credit card 
payment system for medium/small size merchants and 
sole proprietors, and keeping in mind the Japanese 
government’s Point Reward Project for Consumers 
using Cashless Payment that will come into effect in 
October 2019, we will accelerate growth in the number 
of stores which 
have installed 
Square. Square 
can be acquired  
at all domestic 
SMBC branches.

SMBC Group will realize a new cashless payment 
experience with convenience, safety/peace of mind, 
and good value as the three key pillars. We renewed 
the mobile application of SMBC/Sumitomo Mitsui  
Card Company in FY2018 and added a number of  
new features, such as a payment limit for debit  
cards and an asset  
management function  
which reflects funds  
held in banks other  
than SMBC.

Retail Business Unit

The top-class companies in banking, securities, 

credit card, and consumer finance industries that 

comprise the Retail Business Unit are enhancing 

intra-Group coordination to address the financial 

needs of all individual customers, striving to  

develop the most trusted and No. 1 Japanese  

retail finance business.

Senior Managing  
Executive Officer
Head of Retail  
Business Unit 
Naoki Tamura

With a wide range of businesses encompassing wealth management, cashless payments, and consumer 
finance, the Retail Business Unit boasts the No. 1 operating foundation in Japan. After the introduction of 
the group-wide business units, we were quick to conduct business model reforms, including those related  
to customer-oriented business operations and digitalization. The benefits of these efforts are steadily  
emerging in the forms of improved customer convenience and reformed cost structures.
  Currently, changes in society are giving rise to business opportunities, such as the new financial  
needs appearing as the era of the centenarian approaches and the Japanese government’s push to promote  
cashless payments.
  Faced with these changes in the operating environment, the Retail Business Unit continues to advance 
cutting-edge business model reforms based on the key themes of “customer oriented” and “digitalization.”

Review of FY2018

Our credit card and consumer finance businesses performed favorably with 
growth in sales handled exceeding the industry average coupled with success 
in capitalizing on the healthy capital needs of individual customers. Conversely, 
the wealth management business suffered a year-on-year decline in profit  
due to low appetites for investment amid a sluggish market. As a result,  
net business profit in the Retail Business Unit decreased ¥22.3 billion, to 
¥274.6 billion, while return on equity (ROE) declined to 7.3%. Nevertheless, 
our customer-oriented wealth management business initiatives, cashless  
payment strategies, and branch reorganizations drove steady increases in  
the underlying strength that supports ongoing profit growth.

Wealth Management Business

In the wealth management business, we continued to promote the transition  
to a customer-oriented wealth management business throughout FY2018. Our  
goal in this area is to develop a sustainable, customer-oriented business and  
stabilize profits by providing medium- to long-term diversified investment  
proposals that respond to customers’ need to protect and increase their assets.
  The senior citizen market is anticipated to grow in the upcoming era in which 
people consistently live to be 100. We therefore intend to augment our ability to 
respond to the long-term wealth management, inheritance, and succession  
needs seen in this market.

Cashless Payment Strategies

The Retail Business Unit looks to grow its market share through the full-fledged 
implementation of cashless payment strategies. For example, U.S. partner Square, 
Inc., has developed a cashless payment service with a simple and intuitive  
interface. We will focus on increasing the number of small and medium-sized 
enterprises that handle this service by utilizing SMBC’s customer base.

In addition, we renovated our smartphone application in FY2018. We are  
now focused on the enhancement of user services, with regard to which we  
have begun offering on-the-spot issuance of debit cards, use limit settings,  
and household budget management functions.

Branch Reorganizations

Over the past two years, SMBC has transformed 259 of its 430 branches into 
next-generation branches. The goal of our reorganizations is not to reduce the 
number of branches, but rather to maintain our network, which furnishes our 
points of contact with customers, while cutting costs at branches. We are also 
reforming our ATM network to better accommodate customer needs. In September 
2019, we plan to make it possible for customers of both MUFG Bank, Ltd., and 
SMBC to use the same off-site ATMs (ATMs in unstaffed locations other than 
branches and convenience stores).
  Another area of focus is enhancing the functionality and user interface of our 
smartphone application. To this end, we are utilizing the input and requests garnered 
from customers through our various contact points to develop optimal services.

The Wholesale Business Unit contributes

to the diverse needs of domestic companies in 

relation to financing, investment management,

The operating environment for financial institutions is transforming rapidly as indicated by changes in eco-
nomic and financial circumstances and reforms to customer business models stimulated by progress in the 
digitalization trend.
  Even in the midst of such constant changes to customer business models, the Wholesale Business Unit 
has remained focused on developing frameworks for providing customers with high levels of value through a 
united Group effort.
  Going forward, we will further improve our strengths, including our keen ability to make proposals, speed, 
and pioneering spirit, while sharing management resources among Group companies to provide high-value-
added, customer-oriented solutions.
  As a business unit that develops operations in our mother market of Japan, we will give each of our corpo-
rate clients our full attention, grow with them, and contribute to the development of the Japanese economy.

Review of FY2018

In FY2018, high levels of net business profit and ROE were achieved with 
figures of ¥484.9 billion and 12.1%, respectively. This achievement can be 
attributed to higher non-interest income at SMBC following profit structure 
reforms as well as growth in the investment bank operations of SMBC Nikko 
Securities. These factors counteracted the decline in domestic loans and  
investment management income at SMBC that was a result of Japan’s negative 
interest rate policy and intense competition.

In addition, we were No. 1 in terms of the number of M&A advisory deals  

for the second consecutive year and also became No. 1 in the number of  
initial public offerings in which we were the lead underwriter. These accom-
plishments indicated the steady growth of the Wholesale Business Unit’s  
underlying strength.

Deputy President

Head of International  
Business Unit 
Masahiko Oshima

Over the years, the International Business Unit (“INBU”) bolstered its foreign currency procurement capa-
bilities while overcoming numerous financial crises, expanded transactions with leading overseas companies, 
and enhanced its ability to offer products which met customers’ demands. Through such efforts, INBU was 
able to realize steady growth while expanding its balance sheet. SMBC Group’s overseas network has grown 
to 137 branches and offices in 40 countries and regions. Revenue generated by INBU has increased tenfold 
over the past 20 years, coming to represent roughly 30% of SMBC Group’s total revenue. Going forward, we 
will maintain our focus on capital and asset efficiencies. In order to realize this vision, we will pursue syner-
gies by carrying out various initiatives, such as leveraging the products in which SMBC Group possesses 
top-tier capabilities to enhance our cross-selling capabilities and asset turnover initiatives. In this manner,  
we will fully capitalize on the competitive edge we have over rivals to transition to a growth model that is not 
overly dependent on the expansion of our balance sheet. Through such efforts, we will enhance SMBC 
Group’s collective strengths in high growth potential overseas markets so that we may achieve sustainable 
growth. INBU will also seek to reinforce corporate governance, compliance, and risk management to achieve 
a healthy balance between “offense” and “defense” as it fulfills its role as a growth driver for SMBC Group.

Review of FY2018

The highly volatile market of FY2018 led to our securities businesses under-
performing, and we also booked one-time expenses associated with Brexit and the 
merger of BTPN and SMBCI. Nonetheless, growth was achieved in deposits, foreign 
exchange, derivatives, and other non-asset-based profits. In addition, we were able 
to progressively move forward with priority strategies pertaining to initiatives such 
as the implementation of asset-turnover based business models. As a result, net 
business profit in FY2018 rose ¥3.6 billion, to ¥395.1 billion, and ROE was 9.3%.
  Furthermore, we were able to maintain the balance of foreign currency depos-
its, a key prerequisite for sustainable growth, at a high level of approximately 
US$200 billion, while also improving the quality of those deposits.

We will leverage strengths in product areas in which SMBC Group boasts top-tier 
capabilities, such as aircraft-related businesses and project finance, to enhance 
relationships with customers so that we are able to service their funding and invest-
ment management needs, such as loans, deposits, foreign exchange, and 
capital market transactions. We will also continue with our efforts to grow  
asset-turnover based businesses and make further progress in shifting the make-up

Maximize Group Strengths

SMBC Group’s growth has traditionally been driven by SMBC, which accounts for 
approximately 80% of the group’s revenue. Going forward, however, we will seek 
to enhance synergies among Group companies, investees, and partners in order 
to further bolster our earnings capacity. The securities business, in particular, will 
continue to be a strategic focal area with significant growth potential. In regards 
to the merger of PT Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Tbk (“BTPN”) and PT 
Bank Sumitomo Mitsui Indonesia (“SMBCI”), which was concluded in February 
2019, we will look to accelerate intra-group collaborations with the post-merger 
full-line commercial bank in order to enhance our foundation for medium- to 
long-term growth under the Multi- Franchise Strategy.

Enhancing “Defense” through Better Controlled Business Operations
For foreign currency deposits, INBU will conduct funding activities with an  
emphasis on costs and stickiness, in addition to diversifying procurement meth-
ods in order to further stabilize its foreign currency procurement capabilities.  
At the same time, cost reductions will be pursued by eliminating redundant 
functions throughout SMBC Group and consolidating back-office operations.

INBU will also pursue ongoing improvements in corporate governance, control 
functions, and compliance in conjunction with the growth of its business. At the 
same time, we will practice flexible and agile business management, paying due 
consideration to rising geopolitical risks and market volatility while vigilantly 
monitoring changes in the operating environment.

Realizing Asia-centric: The New 
BTPN Opens Its Doors for Business

In February 2019, PT Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Tbk (“BTPN”), an equity-method affiliate of Sumitomo Mitsui 
Banking Corporation, merged with PT Bank Sumitomo Mitsui Indonesia (“SMBCI”), a local subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui 
Banking Corporation, to create PT Bank BTPN Tbk (“Bank BTPN”), a commercial bank with net assets exceeding ¥1 
trillion. Bank BTPN will play an important role in realizing SMBC Group’s Asia-centric strategy as a full-line  
commercial bank that offers a comprehensive range of banking services in both the wholesale and retail sectors.

smartphones that targets the middle-class, was launched in 
2016. The number of Jenius users exceeded 1 million by the 
end of the service’s second year.

   BTPN: A Bank with a Robust Presence in the Retail Sector
BTPN was established in 1958 to handle the pensions of 
retired military personnel. BTPN focused on providing finan-
cial education and services to retirees, micro-, small, and 
medium-enterprises, and people residing in rural areas who 
did not possess a bank account. Through such efforts, BTPN 
deepened its footprint in Indonesia as a commercial bank with 
a robust presence in the mass market segment.
  BTPN also developed a reputation as one of Indonesia’s 
most innovative banks. While Indonesia’s population exceeds 
260 million, an estimated 50% of its adult population does not 
possess a bank account. Given such an environment, BTPN 
was quick to focus on expanding its digital services in line with 
the rapid spread of mobile phones and smartphones, launch-
ing its mobile banking service “BTPN Wow!” in 2015. The aim 
of BTPN Wow! is to provide affordable, safe, and convenient 
financial services to the many people who do not possess a 
bank account. The number of BTPN Wow! users have now 
exceeded 6 million. “Jenius,” a mobile banking service for 

   Transformation into a Full-Line Commercial Bank
SMBCI was established in 1989 and offered various financial 
services targeting the wholesale sector. SMBCI developed a 
strong presence in the market for large corporates, namely 
Japanese and leading local companies. In recent years,  
SMBCI actively engaged in project finance, syndicated loans, 
and structured finance transactions in relation to infra-
structure development, a theme which continues to draw  
the strong interest of the Indonesian government. 

  Through its merger with SMBCI, BTPN transformed into a 
full-line commercial bank by adding a comprehensive portfolio 
of wholesale banking services to its existing portfolio of retail 
banking services. The new 
bank’s net assets exceed  
¥1 trillion, making it the  
8th largest Indonesian bank.

   A Strategic Component of Asia-centric
SMBC Group’s medium- to long-term vision is: “To be a global 
financial group that leads growth in Japan and Asia  
by earning the highest trust of our customers.” Furthermore, 
“Accelerate our ‘Asia-centric’ strategy” has been stipulated as 
one of the Group’s Seven Core Business Areas in the current 
Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2017-FY2019).
  As part of such efforts, SMBC Group has been pursuing its 
Multi-Franchise Strategy, through which it will create a second 
and a third SMBC Group in Asia that offers full-line commercial 
banking services. Indonesia was selected as the first country 
to implement the strategy given its high growth potential, and 
the creation of Bank BTPN can be said to be an embodiment 

of the strategy’s goal. As a result of the merger, SMBC Group 
was able to make significant strides towards realizing its  
Asia-centric strategy.
  Bank BTPN will leverage the strengths its predecessor 
banks have developed over the years to expand the coverage 
of its services. In the retail sector, Bank BTPN will work to 
expand its presence from the mass market segment to include 
middle-class customers, while in the wholesale sector it will 
expand its traditional focus on large corporates to include 
medium-sized corporate/SME customers. Bank BTPN’s  
operations will transcend Indonesia so that it may function as 
a strategic component of SMBC Group’s Asia-centric strategy.

We will be the most preferred bank in Indonesia that changes our customers’ lifestyles

The merger of BTPN and SMBCI to form Bank BTPN represents a unique and 
an ideal combination of two complementary banks. With its new vision, to be 
Indonesia’s most preferred bank which makes a meaningful difference in the 
lives of millions powered by technology, Bank BTPN will become a larger and 
stronger bank that contributes more to the country’s economy. We believe  
Bank BTPN will be able to unlock the opportunities that generate more valuable 
customer solutions across businesses.

Issuance of Japan’s First  
Contractual Law Covered Bonds

SMBC has succeeded in issuing Japan’s first contractual law covered bonds. In this section, 
we will explain the background and the significance behind the arrangement and issuance of 
these covered bonds, which entailed overcoming the challenges presented by a lack of legal 
frameworks in Japan in comparison with Europe.

   Realization of a New Method of Foreign  

Currency Funding

The prolongation of low interest rates in Japan is placing 
downward pressure on the profitability of domestic busi-
nesses. This situation has prompted SMBC to bolster its over-
seas operations, causing the balance of outstanding loans 
overseas to quadruple over the past decade and climb above 
¥20 trillion. In response to this increase in foreign currency-
denominated assets, SMBC ramped up its foreign currency 
funding by working to increase customer deposits and issuing 
senior unsecured bonds. We also looked to diversify our  
foreign currency funding methods through the issuance of 
Australian dollar-denominated bonds and green bonds as part 
of our efforts to realize stability in foreign currency funding.
  The issuance of covered bonds was one new initiative that 
drew our attention in this undertaking. Covered bonds are a 
type of secured corporate bond originating in Europe that are 
generally issued with collateral provided in the form of a pool 
of housing loans and other low-risk assets (cover pool). 
Should the issuer default, investors are able to seek recourse 
to the issuer and are given priority access to recourse to the 
cover pool above other creditors. This dual recourse frame-
work is a major characteristic of covered bonds. These bonds 
also feature other investor protection provisions, such as 
requirements that the issuer maintain an amount of collateral 
in excess of the outstanding principal amount of the bonds. 
These bonds are commonly issued overseas, with legal  
frameworks pertaining to covered bonds in place in various 
European and other countries. However, such frameworks do 
not exist in Japan, and there are no prior cases of covered 
bonds being issued in this country. It was against this back-
drop that SMBC sought to arrange and issue covered bonds 
as a new method of foreign currency funding.

   Goals of Covered Bond Issuance
SMBC turned its attention to covered bonds with two main 
goals. The first goal was to realize a foreign currency funding 
method that is highly viable under extraordinary 

circumstances, such as those of high market volatility. In 
Europe, the financial crises seen in the 2000s and forward 
underscored the importance of covered bonds as a viable 
foreign currency funding method for use when conditions are 
extreme, spurring an increase in the utilization of such bonds. 
The worldwide balance of outstanding covered bonds stood at 
€2.5 trillion, and the total amount of covered bonds issued in 
2017 climbed as high as €445.0 billion.
  The second goal was to diversify our investor base. Until 
now, attracting central banks, government institutions, and 
other such investors into our conventional senior unsecured 
bonds has proven difficult. This difficulty arises from the 
tendency of such investors to only invest in highly rated 
bonds, such as government bonds and the bonds of govern-
ment agencies. The ratings assigned by rating agencies  
display the reliability of bonds. Our senior unsecured bonds 
will never be able to exceed the ratings of Japanese govern-
ment bonds. Covered bonds, however, can achieve ratings 
that are higher than those of Japanese government bonds, 
thereby enabling us to expand our investor base.

   Creation of Revolutionary Scheme for 

Issuance

The greatest obstacle to arranging covered bonds in  
Japan was the establishment of a dual recourse framework.  
In Europe, there are legal frameworks in place ensuring that 
the cover pool is not affected by bankruptcy proceedings 
(separation of cover pool from bankruptcy). The legal frame-
works in Japan, however, were thought to obstruct the  
development of dual recourse frameworks.
  Breaking away from such preconceptions, we made it  
possible to realize the separation of the cover pool from  
bankruptcy through the use of a revolutionary scheme that 
uses the close-out netting principle by applying the Japanese 
Netting Act of Specified Financial Transactions Conducted by 
Financial Institutions should the issuer default. However, the 
ability to fulfill the necessary requirement to issue covered 
bonds did not guarantee that there would be demand for this 

56

SMBC Group Annual Report 2019product from investors. SMBC’s covered bonds differ from 
conventional covered bonds in their application of the afore-
mentioned Netting Act and in their use of residential 
mortgage- backed securities (“RMBS”s) for the cover pool. In 
light of these differences, it was unclear whether investors 
would welcome these bonds. For this reason, we took steps to 
gather input from a wide range of investors, including central 
banks, government institutions, asset managers, and banks, 
and ongoing discussions were held on how to reflect this input 
into the structure. This process led us to judge that investors 
would be receptive toward the following structure, which was 
then used to issue Japan’s first contractual law covered bond.

   Low-Cost Foreign Currency Funding from a 

Wide Range of Investors

SMBC’s euro-denominated contractual law covered bonds 
received a rating of Aaa from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., 
which exceeded the rating therefrom of A1 assigned to Japa-
nese government bonds. SMBC Group thus gained a method 
of foreign currency funding at interest rates that are lower by 
0.35% compared to the rate of the euro-denominated senior 
unsecured bonds issued in July 2018.
  Our contractual law covered bonds were issued in late 
October 2018, at the same time as the slump in the senior 
unsecured bonds market that followed market volatility stem-
ming from the downgrading of Italian government bonds and 
the trade friction between China and the United States. These 
covered bonds exhibited their viability as a foreign currency 
funding method under extraordinary circumstances as we 
were able to raise a sufficient amount of foreign currency 
funding, despite the adverse market conditions.
  Of the investors that purchased SMBC’s covered bonds, 42% 
were fixed income asset managers. The next largest group was 
comprised of central banks and official institutions, which ac-
counted for 22% of all investors, a substantially higher level than 
would have been seen for our conventional senior unsecured 
bonds. This figure is evidence that these bonds have enabled 
us to incorporate a group of new investors into our investor base 
that was previously out of reach. In this manner, the contractual 
law covered bonds achieved their initial goal by making large 
contributions to the expansion of our investor base.

Amalgamation of SMBC Group’s High-Level Expertise 

Forged through more than six months of coordination, the 
contractual law covered bonds were an amalgamation of the 
high-level expertise of SMBC Group in the areas of banking, 
securities, and trusts. Covered bonds have a history of more 
than 250 years in Europe, and there have been attempts to 
introduce these bonds into Japan for over a decade. However, 
the issuance of such bonds in Japan was deemed to be im-
possible due to the legal restrictions. It was the passion of the 
team to overcome these restrictions and realize the issuance of 
covered bonds in Japan that drove this undertaking to success. 
This accomplishment made waves throughout the market and 
legal community in Japan and overseas, with some going as far 
as to compare this innovative idea with the egg of Columbus. 
We hope that this Aaa-rated scheme of foreign currency 

funding will find a wider range of use throughout the market 
as a low-cost, stress-resistant foreign currency funding method 
and come to contribute to the stabilization of the foreign cur-
rency funding of Japanese financial institutions going forward.

Role of the Board of Directors

Composition of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Company is primarily respon-
sible for making decisions on the matters that are within its 
legally mandated scope of authority, such as basic manage-
ment policies, as well as for overseeing the exercise of duties 
of executive officers and directors. Authority for execution 
decisions other than those legally required to be made by the 
Board of Directors will, in principle, be delegated to executive 
officers. The purpose for this delegation is to enhance the 
oversight function of the Board of Directors and to expedite 
the exercise of duties.
  The Board of Directors works toward the realization of “Our 
Mission” and the long-term growth of corporate value and the 
common interests of the shareholders. Any action that may 
impede those objectives will be addressed with impartial 
decisions and response measures.
  Furthermore, the Board of Directors is responsible for estab-
lishing an environment that supports appropriate risk taking 
by executive officers. It will develop a system for ensuring the 
appropriateness of SMBC Group’s business operations pursu-
ant to the Companies Act and other relevant legislation in 
order to maintain sound management. Another responsibility 
of the Board of Directors is to exercise highly effective over-
sight of executive officers from an independent and objective 
standpoint. Accordingly, the Board of Directors endeavors to 
appropriately evaluate company performance and reflect 
these evaluations in its assessment of executive officers.

The Board of Directors is comprised of directors with various 
backgrounds and diverse expertise and experience. The 
Company strives to maintain the appropriate number of direc-
tors in order to enable the Board of Directors to function with 
the greatest degree of effectiveness and efficiency. In addition, 
the Board of Directors is to be comprised of at least two direc-
tors, and more than one-third of all directors should be out-
side directors designated as independent directors based on 
the stipulations of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
  As of June 27, 2019, the Board of Directors was comprised 
of 15 directors. Ten of the 15 directors did not have business 
execution responsibilities at the Company or its subsidiaries, 
with seven of these 10 directors being outside directors. The 
chairman of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, who does not 
have business execution responsibilities, served as the chair-
man of the Board of Directors. This membership ensures an 
objective stance toward supervising the exercise of duties by 
executive officers and directors.
  Outside directors serve as chairmen and members of the 
Company’s legally mandated and voluntarily established com-
mittees when necessary, outside directors will request reports 
on compliance, risk management, or other matters from the 
relevant divisions in order to promote appropriate coordination 
and supervision.

As described in the “SMFG Corporate Governance Guideline,” 
outside directors may hold meetings that only outside direc-
tors may attend to serve as forums for building consensus and 
exchanging information with regard to matters pertaining to 
corporate governance and businesses from an independent 
and objective standpoint. In FY2018, three such meetings 
were held. During these meetings, outside directors engaged 
in vigorous discussion regarding topics such as the ideal 
procedures for selecting agenda items based on the role of 
the Board of Directors and management issues for SMBC 
Group. The results of these discussions were communicated 
to management.

Corporate Governance

   Support Systems for Outside Directors
The Company recognizes that outside directors require an 
in-depth understanding of the Group’s business operations 
and business activities. Accordingly, we endeavor to continu-
ally supply outside directors with the information and insight 
on business activities that is necessary to supervise manage-
ment while also providing the opportunities needed to fulfill 
their roles.

Initiatives to support directors in FY2018 included the 

following.

•  Participation in meetings of general managers of core Group 

companies and other executive team meetings, tours of bases of 
Group companies, and discussions with presidents of Group 
companies for facilitating a greater understanding of business 
operations and business activities

•  Explanatory forums on Board of Directors’ meeting agenda items 

prior to Board meetings to assist in understanding of items

•  Study sessions for outside directors led by external lecturers on 
topics such as corporate governance and financial regulations

•  Small meetings with institutional investors to provide opportunities 

for understanding the perspectives of stakeholders

•  Training through SMBC Academy training website for employees

Evaluation of the Board of Directors’ Effectiveness

The “SMFG Corporate Governance Guideline” contains provi-
sions on evaluating the effectiveness of the Board of Directors. 
In accordance with these provisions, annual analyses and 
evaluations are conducted by the Board of Directors to deter-
mine whether or not it is executing its duties in line with the 
guideline, and the results of these analyses and evaluations 
are disclosed.

In FY2018, the evaluation focused on the four areas de-
scribed below, which are areas for which provisions exist in 
Japan’s Corporate Governance Code and the “SMFG Corporate 
Governance Guideline.” All seven outside directors were asked 

for their opinions regarding these areas at meetings of the 
Board of Directors held in April and May 2019, and interviews 
of internal directors were conducted thereafter. The primary 
subject of interviews with internal directors was their expecta-
tions of outside directors. Discussions based on the findings 
took place at Board of Directors’ meetings in June, after which 
analyses and evaluations were carried out to determine wheth-
er or not the Board of Directors was executing its duties in line 
with the “SMFG Corporate Governance Guideline.” Moreover, 
reviews by external specialists with expertise from developed 
nations are received at each stage of the evaluation process.

Overview of Evaluation Results

Role of the Board of Directors

Composition of the Board of Directors

  Steps are taken to invigorate discussions while taking advantage of the 
highly specialized expertise of the outside directors. These discussions 
were geared toward medium- to long-term improvements in corporate 
value based on the interests of various stakeholders while incorporating 
important matters related to business strategies to contribute to the 
fulfillment of “Our Mission.”

  Based on the executive-side discussions of the Management Commit-
tee, matters related to business plans and other basic management 
policies as well as the status of the business execution were presented 
and reported on several occasions. As a result, effective deliberations 
on these matters were able to take place and oversight functions were 
exercised properly.

  Further evaluations and revisions are necessary for enabling outside 
directors to better exercise their functions based on the issues and 
future direction for SMBC Group, ongoing, in-depth discussions on the 
overarching management issues (big picture) pertaining to medium-  
to long-term targets, and the expectations of outside directors.

Proceedings of the Board of Directors

  The number and content of agenda items as well as the amount of 
time dedicated to discussion of agenda items were more or less 
around the appropriate level.

  Discussions were livelier than in the previous fiscal year due to the 

allocation of time to discuss topics not included in agenda and seating 
arrangement-related measures.

  The following measures were taken to encourage frank discussion at 

meetings of the Board of Directors.

  •  Preparation of clearer explanations and materials on the points  

to be discussed

  • Measures related to the direction of proceedings

  As of March 31, 2019, the Board of Directors consisted of 17 direc-
tors, seven of which were outside directors. Accordingly, outside 
directors represented over 40% of all directors.

  It was once again acknowledged that the outside directors represented 
a diverse range of expertise, genders, and nationalities and that the 
Board of Directors features an atmosphere conducive to outside 
directors voicing opinions regarding management.

  There is a need to continue evaluating and revising the number of 

members and the composition of the Board of Directors to ensure that 
the Board of Directors is suitable based on its role.

Support Systems for Outside Directors

  Information necessary for making flexible management decisions in a 
changing operating environment and for exercising effective oversight 
functions continued to be supplied to Board of Directors’ members in 
an appropriate and timely manner.

  The Company continued to provide systems for effectively supporting 

the Board of Directors in making management decisions through 
venues such as study sessions for outside directors and forums for 
discussions between outside directors and internal directors, executive 
officers, and the accounting auditor.

  It is desirable for the Company to continue promoting initiatives for 

utilizing the insight of outside directors (such as by arranging forums 
for exchanges of valuable information between outside directors or 
between the executive and oversight functions and increasing the 
amount of information provided to outside directors).

  We also introduced the malus (forfeiture) of restricted stock 
and the claw-back of vested stock allocated to the executives 
under the Plans to restrain excessive risk-taking and foster a 
prudent risk culture expected of a financial institution.

Compensation Program

We revised the executive compensation program and  
introduced new Stock Compensation Plans as a part of the

1.   Providing more appropriate incentives for executives, 
strengthening linkage with our short-, medium-, and

   Executive Management Systems

Management Committee

The Management Committee is set up under the Board  
to serve as the top decision-making body. The Management 
Committee is chaired by the President of Sumitomo Mitsui 
Financial Group with other members including executive 
officers and other officers designated by the President.  
The President of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group  
considers important matters relating to the execution of  
business in accordance with the basic policies set by the 
Board of Directors and based on discussions held by the  
committee members.

Group-Wide Business Units and CxO System
In April 2017, the Company introduced group-wide  
business units and the CxO system with the aim of enhancing 
Group management. The group-wide business unit structure 
entailed the creation of the Retail Business Unit, the Whole-
sale Business Unit, the International Business Unit, and the 
Global Markets Business Unit. The goal of this structure is to 
heighten our ability to address the various needs of customers 
on a group-wide basis by enabling the business units to  
formulate and implement business strategies based on their 
respective customer segments. The CxO system entails the 
appointment of nine Group chief officers in charge of specific 
areas in addition to the Group CEO (President of Sumitomo 
Mitsui Financial Group). This system is meant to improve 
Group management capabilities centered on the holding 
company. The heads of business units as well as the chief 
officer positions will, in principle, be filled with executive 
officers of the Company, with the one exception being the 
Group Chief Audit Executive (CAE). Individuals appointed to 
these positions are expected to exercise their duties as the 
person responsible for overseeing their business unit or head 
office division and report on the execution of their duties to 
the Board of Directors.

Corporate Governance

SMBC Group Global Advisors (“Global Advisors”) act in an advisory capacity to the SMBC 

Group Management Committee by attending SMBC Group Global Advisory Meetings, which we 

hold on a regular basis.
SMBC Group appointed Global Advisors to provide advice to it on global business and on political and 
economic issues in Americas, EMEA and Asia.
  At SMBC Group Global Advisory Meetings, advisors inform the Management Committee of trends and 
developments in the financial sector and the political and economic environments of the respective regions. 
The Global Advisors also provide regular insight in respect of political and economic issues relating to the 
formulation of strategy by SMBC Group and key risks faced by SMBC Group.

The Third SMBC Group Global Advisory Meeting

The Third SMBC Group Global Advisory Meeting was held in 
Tokyo in May 2019. Five SMBC Group Global Advisors and 
members of the Management Committee took part in the 
meeting, and actively discussed the business environment, 
the business trends, and the global affairs which we need to 
take into consideration when formulating the next Medium-
Term Management Plan.
  Especially in regards to the business trends in the financial 
services sector, various opinions were raised concerning how 
SMBC Group plays roles in the market and what kind of  
strategy it should focus on, as the digitalization has been 
rapidly progressing and the threats of new entrants has  
been increasing.

In addition to that, the business environment was also  
well discussed from the viewpoints of risks which SMBC 
Group needs to take into consideration in its global business  
operations, such as the prolonged US-China tensions.
  SMBC Group states in its Vision: “We will become a global 
financial group that, by earning the highest trust of our  
customers, leads the growth of Japan and the Asian region” 
and will actively leverage the expertise of the Global Advisors 
in achieving the realization of that Vision.

Corporate Governance

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group
Director
Chairman of the Nomination Committee
Yoshinobu Tsutsui

Q

FY2019 marked the first time our Group CEO 
changed since Sumitomo Mitsui Financial 
Group transferred to a Company with Three 
Committees. Could you please describe the 
selection process that was taken?

I was appointed as an outside director of Sumitomo Mitsui 
Financial Group in 2017, the same year in which the company 
transferred to a Company with Three Committees. In terms of 
internal committees, I am a member of the Compensation 
Committee and I am the Chairman of the Nomination Commit-
tee. The Nomination Committee has been constructed in a 
manner which stresses objectivity and transparency, with five of 
its six members being outside directors. Of course, the quality 
of discussions takes precedence over the committee’s format. 
Repeated discussions took place at the Nomination Committee 
meetings for more than one year regarding the selection of the 
new Group CEO, and I am confident that the deliberations were 
conducted in an objective and transparent manner.

  The Nomination Committee established a number of specific 
points which needed to be considered when selecting the new 
Group CEO after carefully studying the business environment 
and business operations of SMBC Group and the qualities we 
believed the Group’s leader needed to possess. For example, in 
order to realize SMBC Group’s medium- to long- term vision of 
becoming a global financial group, we believe that the success-
ful candidate would need to possess a broad global-based 
perspective, deep insights, and a creative imagination. As such, 
these qualities were included in the selection criteria. The 
selection criteria were by no means limited to abilities and skills, 
they also included character and behavioral traits, for example 
the tenacity and persistence to assemble timely decisions and 
to implement those decisions, the ability to form and deploy 
outstanding teams, leadership and optimism which demonstrate 
courage, and grit/tolerance. Based on such qualities, the  
Nomination Committee came to its final decision in December 
2018 following a deliberate selection process, which included 
candidate interviews.

70

Corporate Infrastructure Supporting Value CreationSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Q

Could you please share with us some points to 
which you paid particular attention during the 
Nomination Committee’s selection process?

I did not focus on any single point during the selection  
process. The reason being that the criteria required of the 
individual selected to lead SMBC Group are multi-faceted  
and diverse. My focus was on whether the candidates satisfied 
all of the required criteria to a very high standard, and I believe 
that the other members of the Nomination Committee shared 
this mindset, which allowed us to engage in deliberations  
based on a common understanding. 
  The purpose of involving outside directors in this type of 
process is to ensure the presence of opinions that are based  
on impartiality, fairness, and neutrality. I believe this is precisely 
what shareholders and other stakeholders expect. As such,  
I paid very careful attention to ensure that such values were 
reflected in the discussions I guided as the Chairman of the 
Nomination Committee. Mr. Ohta was selected as the new 
Group CEO, and I have no doubt whatsoever that SMBC 
Group’s stakeholders understand why Mr. Ohta was selected 
once they refer to the required abilities and skills, experience, 
and character and behavioral traits that I mentioned earlier.

If we take the aforementioned “possess a broad global-based 

perspective, deep insights, and a creative imagination” as an 
example, Mr. Ohta has been a leader in SMBC’s project finance 
business since its infancy more than 20 years ago. Project 
finance has grown into a business in which SMBC Group is a 
top-tier global player. Mr. Ohta also has abundant experience 
conducting business on the global stage, including from his 
experience residing in Singapore. In addition, Mr. Ohta accumu-
lated considerable experience and knowledge concerning digital 
technology, which is rapidly growing in importance in the finan-
cial sector, during his tenure as CDIO where he was responsible 
for a number of SMBC Group’s new business strategies, for 
example cashless payments.
  Having said this, if I was asked what quality I consider to be 
most important to a business leader, and I was to disregard my 
role as Chairman of the Nomination Committee, I would reply: 
“leadership.” While similar words exist, for example captaincy, 
they give the image of individuals forcibly imposing their will on 
others. The leadership I refer to is the ability to attract people 
and instill a strong sense of loyalty in them. An individual  
making the most of his character and insights, in other words 
his personal capabilities, to guide SMBC Group. This is the 
leadership which I am referring to.

  With the goal of ensuring impartiality, fairness, and neutrality 
the Nomination Committee engaged in deliberations focusing 
on the qualities I discussed earlier, but I want to stress the fact 
that Mr. Ohta certainly possesses, in ample amounts, the type of 
leadership which I just shared with you.

SMBC Group has stated that becoming  
a global financial group is its medium- to 
long-term vision. What do you think is the 
most important factor to realizing this vision? 

Q

I believe the most important factor is to strengthen SMBC 
Group’s corporate governance on a global basis. While it is also 
necessary to devote resources to create the framework itself, as 
SMBC Group has been making steady progress in this regard I 
believe that the focus should now be on further enhancing the 
framework’s effectiveness.

In order for this to happen, SMBC Group employees must 

address and resolve existing differences in perception by  
communicating with each other, and this needs to be done on  
a global basis. People will always have different perceptions.  
For example, employees will feel different levels of urgency 
regarding a particular risk. If we look at SMBC Group, differ-
ences in perception exist between Group companies, business 
units, administrative departments and front office departments, 
domestic and overseas offices, even between customers and 
markets. Creating a system which can promptly detect and 
resolve such differences will increase the effectiveness of SMBC 
Group’s corporate governance framework. The key to achieving 
this is to develop personnel who are highly sensitive to such 
differences. I believe that developing as many such personnel 
as possible is a critical part of enhancing SMBC Group’s global 
corporate governance capabilities.

I was President of the Nippon Life Insurance Company for 
seven years starting in 2011. During this time I failed to sense a 
critical difference in the perception of the company’s employees 
which led to the deterioration of a particular issue. As such, I 
have consistently focused on the effectiveness of SMBC Group’s 
corporate governance in my role as an outside director. I will 
continue to devote my utmost efforts to support the realization 
of SMBC Group’s Medium-Term Management Plan and the 
sustained improvement of SMBC Group’s corporate value by 
proactively voicing my views, which reflect my experiences as a 
business leader, at Board of Director, Nomination Committee, 
and Compensation Committee meetings.

Towards Sustainable Development 
of Society

Our Approach

On a global scale, we are currently facing various environmental issues, 

such as climate change resulting from global warming, as well as social 

issues, such as human rights violations. In Japan, we must address various 

challenges arising in conjunction with changes to the social structure, such 

as rapid population aging and the contraction of the workforce.

  SMBC Group believes that it is the social responsibility of a company to 

contribute to the sustainable development of society as a whole by providing 

stakeholders with even higher value through the course of its business.

   Promotion of Renewable Energy  

through Financial Functions

SMBC Group is proactive in its efforts to reduce environmental 
impacts through its business. For example, we are helping 
promote the spread of renewable energy projects that use 
natural forces, such as solar and wind, to generate power. As a 
comprehensive financial group, we are uniting all Group com-
panies and capitalizing on their unique characteristics in this 
undertaking. Accordingly, support for such projects is provided 
by SMBC through financing, SMBC Nikko Securities through 
investment, SMBC Trust Bank through contracting related to 
generation equipment and sites, and Sumitomo Mitsui Finance 
and Leasing through leasing of generation equipment.

In addition, SMBC Group has issued four green bonds, a

type of bond that is used to collect funds to be exclusively 
allocated to eco-friendly projects. Furthermore, the SDGs

Response to Climate Change (Announcement of Support for TCFD)

We announced our support of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)*  
in December 2017, and we are performing climate change scenario analysis and working together  
with customers to address the root causes of climate change and help realize a low-carbon society.  
The following initiatives are being carried out with regard to the four areas advocated in the  
recommendations of the TCFD.

Governance

We have established Group environmental policies to continuously implement measures to make our corporate activities 
conducive to preserving the global environment and curbing pollution.
  The Basic Policy on Climate Change is reflected in SBMC Group's business strategy based on the discussions of the 
Corporate Sustainability Committee and decisions of the Executive Committee, and the details of our initiatives are 
reported regularly to the Board of Directors.

 Physical Risks

In light of the recent emergence of natural disasters linked to climate change, SMBC has performed climate change 
scenario analyses of the physical risks related to water disasters in Japan, thereby calculating, on a preliminary basis, 
that the impact could equate to an aggregate increase in credit costs of between ¥30.0 billion and ¥40.0 billion by 
FY2050. When viewed as a per-year average value, it is an additional credit cost of approximately ¥1 billion and thus the 
impact of water damage caused by climate change on current SMBC’s single-year finances is considered to be limited.

 Transition Risks

Strategy

In the process of transitioning to a low-carbon society, there is a risk that the value of the affected assets will decline 
(Stranded asset Risk). Carbon-related assets (electricity, energy, etc.) currently account for 7.8% of all loans by SMBC. 
Based on this situation, we will keep evaluating the potential impact of stranded assets.

 Opportunities

The market for climate-change-related businesses is expected to grow going forward. Against this backdrop, we are 
promoting environmental businesses and reducing environmental impacts in Japan and overseas. Measures to this end 
include conducting a total of ¥520.0 billion in financing of renewable energy projects in FY2018 and issuing green 
bonds based on the guidelines of the International Capital Market Association and the Ministry of the Environment, 
Government of Japan.

Risk  
Management

SMBC has adopted the Equator Principles, 
which are guidelines developed by private 
financial institutions for managing environmental 
and social risks related to financing large-scale 
development projects to identify and assess 
risks to both the environment and society.

In addition, SMBC Group companies estab-

lished lending policies for specific sectors, 
including coal-fired power plants.

Metrics and 
Targets

SMBC Group is working to reduce greenhouse 
gas emissions, and it realized reductions in 
per-area CO2 emissions of 15.16 tons per m2  
in FY2017 and 104.21 tons per m2 in FY2018.

* The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures was established to 
urge individual companies to disclose their impact on climate change in 
their financial reports.

tions of the TCFD, please refer to Sumitomo Mitsui Financial 
Group’s corporate website.

Initiatives for Supporting the Next Generation

   Support for SMEs in Introducing  

   Business Succession Support  

Cashless Payment Systems

We are supporting SMEs across Japan in introducing cashless 
payment systems by promoting the payment services of 
Square, Inc., a company with which SMBC Group has formed 
a business alliance.
  The card readers offered by Square are very simple  
payment terminals that allows credit card payments to be 
made merely by connecting the reader to a smartphone or 
tablet. As such, these readers can be introduced with ease 
even at retailers, outdoor events, and other locations with 
limited space. Moreover, examinations are also brief, allowing 
for use as early as the day after application, and payments are 
deducted as soon as the following day, enabling customers  
to use this payment service in a similar manner to cash  
payments. Furthermore, introducing Square’s point-of-sale 
register system helps support business growth with increased 
efficiency in payment processes realized through smooth 
coordination of inventory management, sales analysis, and 
accounting software.
  Using this system, SMBC Group aims to support SMEs in 
introducing cashless payment systems and thereby contribute 
to the promotion of cashless payments throughout Japanese 
society as a whole.

Framework that Uses Trust Functions  
to Address Cognitive Impairment Issues
SMBC Trust Bank provides financial solutions that address 
potential social issues as the “100-Year life” era approaches.
  Specifically, SMBC Trust Bank has developed a business 
succession framework that addresses the needs of customers 
seeking to decide the process through which shares of their 
company’s stock will be transferred to successors and those 
looking to mitigate management risks arising from an inability 
to exercise voting rights due to future cognitive impairment or 
other forms of cognitive decline.
  Characteristics of this product include special provisions for 
the following:
•  Acquisition of trust beneficiary rights to stock by successor 

after inheritance

•  Instructions for successor to exercise voting rights on behalf 

of customer should they suffer cognitive decline.

  Going forward, through the provision of financial products, 
we hope to contribute to the realization of a society in which 
business operators are able to feel peace of mind as they 
continue to develop their business.

   Traditional Japanese Dwelling  

   SDGs Social Loans  

Lodging Business

In January 2019, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing 
established Dazaifu Co-Creation through joint investment with 
Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd., and The Bank of Fukuoka, 
Ltd. Dazaifu Co-Creation operates a dispersed traditional 
Japanese dwelling lodging business via coordination with 
Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and Dazaifu Tenmangu 
Shrine. This business entails renovating traditional Japanese 
dwellings located throughout the region to function as lodging 
facilities and restaurants and welcoming tourists through a 
community-wide effort.

In this business, traditional Japanese dwellings are rented 
and renovated to become facilities and restaurants. Sumitomo 
Mitsui Finance and Leasing supports this business by leasing 
interior fixtures, lodging facilities, kitchen equipment, and 
equipment and machinery used in restaurants and by provid-
ing other financial services.
  SMBC Group is supporting tourism and subsequently the 
development of regional economies by participating in such 
tourism projects as a partner and by providing leasing and 
various other financial services.

SMBC has launched Japan’s first SDG social loan.  
These loans are meant to provide funding to projects that  
help resolve social issues. Through a scheme entailing impact 
reports that measure impacts on society and third-party  
evaluations, we are working together with customers to  
resolve social issues.
  For example, utilizing funds loaned to Healthcare & Medical 
Investment Corporation, a Japanese real estate investment 
trust specializing in healthcare facilities, we are helping supply 
such facilities. These efforts are largely contributing to resolv-
ing the various issues that face the rapidly aging Japanese 
society, by lowering the burden placed on the families of 
individuals requiring nursing care, reducing the number of 
people who are unable to receive such care, and promoting 
women’s participation in the workforce.

defined our Five Values, a list of five key words that repre-
sent the values and action guidelines shared by executives

(always think and act based on a customer-oriented  
perspective) is at the top of this list.

  Initiatives for Promoting Customer-Oriented  
Business Conduct 

SMBC Group will implement the following initiatives to 
entrench the principles of customer-oriented business 
conduct into its activities.

initiatives by SMBC Group based on this policy with the aim 
of facilitating understanding regarding these initiatives among 
customers. In addition, the status of initiatives and their 
results will be verified so that initiatives can be revised as 
necessary to improve upon operating practices. Information 
regarding these verifications and revisions will be disclosed.

Internal Audit

Our Approach

As a part of SMBC Group’s internal control framework, the audit department (the Department) 

verifies the effectiveness of the internal control of business units, risk management units, and 

other units from an independent standpoint and pursues the quality of internal audits in order 

to contribute to development and the highest trust across the entire SMBC Group.

   Overview of the Group’s Internal Audit 

   Enhancement and Effectiveness of  

Framework

Internal Audit 

The Department has adopted auditing methods in accordance 
with the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) standards,* con-
ducts risk-based audits, and expands the same approach to 
Group companies. To implement effective and efficient inter-
nal audits, the Department conducts monitoring by  
attending important meetings and by obtaining internal  
management documents of SMFG and Group companies.

In addition, the Department seeks to enhance group-wide 

internal auditors’ expertise by gathering up-to-date internal 
audit practices, providing the practices to Group companies, 
holding training programs, and encouraging auditors to obtain 
internal auditors’ international certification.
  Furthermore, the Department enhances its quality assur-
ance on a group-wide basis by both fully satisfying the IIA 
standards and referring to G-SIFIs practices.

* The Institute of Internal Auditors, Inc. (IIA), was founded in 1941 in the United 
States as an organization dedicated to raise the level of specialization and the 
status of professionalism of internal auditing staff. Its main activity is to study the 
theory and practice of internal audit and to provide an internationally recognized 
qualification (Certified Internal Auditor (CIA)).

The Department has been established under the  
Audit Committee and is independent from business units, 
compliance units, and risk management units. Internal audits 
within our Group companies are structured broadly in line  
with SMFG. The Group Chief Audit Executive oversees  
group-wide internal audit activities.
  The Department verifies the appropriateness and the  
effectiveness of internal control which aims to assure the 
appropriateness of Group operations and the soundness of 
assets by conducting internal audits on each department and 
Group entity as well as conducting on continuous monitoring 
of Group companies’ internal auditing and other activities. The 
activities are based on the “Group Internal Audit Charter” and 
the “Basic Audit Policy and Plan” formulated by the Audit 
Committee and the Board of Directors.
  Major audit findings and relevant information are regularly 
reported to the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, and 
the Group Management Committee. Whilst the Department 
strives to strengthen cooperation to conduct proper audit 
practices through frequent information exchange with  
external auditors.

which is chaired by the Group CCO responsible for overseeing 
matters related to compliance. This committee comprehen-
sively examines and discusses SMBC Group’s various work 
processes from the perspective of compliance.

In addition, SMBC Group formulated the Group Compliance 

Program to provide a concrete action plan for practicing  
compliance on a group-wide level. SMBC and other Group 
companies develop their own compliance programs based  
on the Group program and take necessary steps to effectively 
install compliance frameworks.
  The Company receives consultations and reports on 
compliance- related matters from Group companies, providing  
suggestions and guidance as necessary to ensure compliance 
throughout the Group.

    Response to Anti-Social Forces
SMBC Group has established a basic policy stipulating that all 
Group companies must unite in establishing and maintaining 
a system that ensures that the Group does not have any con-
nection with anti-social forces or related individuals.
  Specifically, the Group strives to ensure that no business 
transactions are made with anti-social forces or individuals. 
Contractual documents or terms and conditions state the 
exclusion of anti-social forces from any business relationship. 
In the event that it is discovered subsequent to the com-
mencement of a deal or trading relationship that the opposite 
party belongs to or is affiliated with an anti-social force, we 
undertake appropriate remedial action by contacting outside 
professionals specializing in such matters.

Basic Policy for Anti-Social Forces
1.  Completely sever any connections or relations from anti-

social forces.

2.  Repudiate any unjustifiable claims, and do not engage in 
any “backroom” deals. Further, promptly take legal action 
as necessary.

3.  Appropriately respond as an organization to any anti-social 

forces by cooperating with outside professionals.

    Customer Information Management
SMBC Group has established Group policies that set forth 
guidelines for the entire Group regarding proper protection 
and use of customer information. All Group companies adhere 
to these policies in developing frameworks for managing 
customer information.
  SMBC and its Group companies establish and disclose 
privacy policies for their measures regarding the proper  
protection and use of customer information and customer 
numbers. Appropriate frameworks are established based  
on these policies.

business. Acting in accordance with the Principles of Action 
on Compliance and Risk, business units practice healthy risk 
taking (business activities) coupled with disciplined compli-
ance and risk management. The Compliance Unit performs 
monitoring, oversight, and training regarding the status of 
compliance and risk management at business units. Further-
more, the Internal Audit Unit verifies and evaluates the ad-
equacy and effectiveness of compliance and risk management 
systems to help fortify these systems.

    Anti-Money Laundering and Prevention of 

Funding Terrorist Organizations

SMBC Group strictly complies with AML/CFT regulations by 
establishing the Group policy and implementing effective 
internal control systems in each of the Group companies to 
ensure that our operations are sound and appropriate. The 
Group policy/systems are in accordance with the require-
ments of the relevant international organizations (e.g. the 
Financial Action Task Force Recommendations) and the law/
regulation of relevant countries including Japan (e.g. U.S. 
“Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations”).
  Specifically, SMBC Group is developing systems to prevent 
its products and services from being used for money launder-
ing (ML) and financing of terrorism (FT), which may have a 
massive negative impact on the economy.

Agreement with Federal Reserve Bank of New York
In April 2019, SMBC entered into a written agreement with the 
Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Reserve Bank”)  
to improve its New York Branch’s program for compliance with 
the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and related U.S. anti-money 
laundering (“AML”) laws and regulations, which was found to 
be inadequate by the Reserve Bank.
  Under the terms of the written agreement, SMBC is required 
to undertake a number of actions to enhance the Branch’s 
overall BSA/AML compliance program, corporate governance 
and management oversight, the Branch’s customer due  
diligence and suspicious activity monitoring and reporting 
programs, internal audit, and the Branch’s program for compli-
ance with the laws and regulations administered by the U.S. 
Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
  SMBC has already taken actions to improve compliance with 
U.S. AML requirements and is fully committed to complying 
with all of the terms set forth in the written agreement.

Risk Management

Our Approach

Strengthening of compliance and risk 

management is positioned as a key issue 

in SMBC Group’s Principles of Action on 

Compliance and Risk. SMBC Group is 

therefore devoted to improving its systems 

in these areas in order to become a truly 

outstanding global group.

   Risk Culture
In order for SMBC Group to realize and maintain a sustainable 
growth in corporate value as a “Top Tier Global Financial 
Group,” each one of our colleagues should think and judge on 
their own if their actions meet the expectations and require-
ments of customers, markets, and other stakeholders, not just 
if they are compliant with laws and regulations. SMBC Group 
has established “Principles of Action on Compliance and Risk” 
in order for every colleague to hold onto as a “keystone” of 
their daily business. The principle includes “Business based 
on the Risk Appetite Framework” and “Business operations 
which give a high priority to the management of risks such as 
credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk.” 
Concrete measures include internal surveys for monitoring the 
compliance awareness and risk sensitivity of our colleagues as 
well as internal training for fostering a sound risk culture.

   Risk Appetite Framework
SMBC Group has introduced a Risk Appetite Framework for 
controlling group-wide risks that clarifies the types and levels 
of risk that we are willing to take on or are prepared to tolerate 
in order to grow profits (risk appetite).
  The Risk Appetite Framework is one of two pivots of our 
business management alongside business strategies. It func-
tions as a management framework for sharing information on 
the operating environment and risks facing SMBC Group 
among management and for facilitating appropriate risk taking 
based thereon.

customers, market integrity, or effective competition.

SMBC Group Annual Report 2019Individual risk appetites have been established for specific 
business units or strategies as necessary based on the overall 
risk appetite of SMBC Group.
  Risk appetites are decided during the process of formulat-
ing business strategies and management policies. These risk 
appetites are set based on Top Risks that threaten to signifi-
cantly impact management and on risk analyses (stress test-
ing) that illustrate the impact if a risk should materialize. In 
addition, risk register and Key Risk Events (KRE) are utilized 
in verifying the adequacy of Top Risks, risk appetites, and 
business strategies.
  The outlooks for the operating environment and risks and 
the risk appetite situation are monitored throughout the 
course of the fiscal year. Risk Appetite Measures and business 
strategies are revised as necessary. Three risk management 
levels are set for Risk Appetite Measures, which are monitored 
accordingly.

In addition, we apply a uniform standard, risk capital*1 
based on value at risk (VaR),*2 which is used to set upper 
limits for risk exposure based on group-wide management 
constitution. Each business unit operates their business  
within that limit.

Note:  The above is only a portion of the risks recognized by SMBC Group. It is 

possible that the materialization of risks other than those listed above could 
have a significant impact on our management.

 Please see page 109 for Top Risks.

*1  Risk capital: The amount of capital required to cover the theoretical maximum 

potential loss arising from risks of business operations.

 Stress Testing

*2  VaR: The maximum loss that can be expected to occur with a certain degree of 
probability when holding a financial asset portfolio for a given amount of time.

 Top Risks

SMBC Group identifies risks that threaten to significantly 
impact management as Top Risks.
  The selection of Top Risks involves comprehensive screening 
of risk factors, evaluation of each risk scenario’s possibility of 
occurrence and potential impact on management, and discus-
sion by the Risk Management Committee and the Management 
Committee. Top Risks are utilized to enhance risk management 
by being incorporated into discussions of the Risk Appetite 
Framework and the formulation of business strategies and into 
the creation of risk scenarios for stress testing.

At SMBC Group, we use stress testing to analyze and compre-
hend the impact on SMBC Group’s businesses of changes in 
economic or market conditions, in order to plan and execute 
forward-looking business strategies. 

In our stress testing, we prepare multiple risk scenarios 

including macroeconomic variables such as GDP, stock  
prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates based on  
the aforementioned Top Risks, discussions with experts and 
related departments.
  When developing business strategies, we set out scenarios 
assuming stressed business environments such as serious 
economic recessions and market disruption for the sake of 
assessing risk-taking capabilities at SMBC Group and verifying 
whether adequate soundness can be maintained under stress.
In addition, we conduct detailed stress testing for individual 

risks such as credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk, so as 
to decide and review risk-taking strategies.

Risk Management

   Risk Management System
Based on the recognition of the importance of risk manage-
ment, the group-wide basic policies for risk management  
are determined by the Management Committee before being 
authorized by the Board of Directors in order to have top man-
agement play an active role in the risk management process.
In accordance with these basic policies for risk manage-
ment, three lines of defense have been defined, and we have 
clarified related roles and responsibilities. Risk management 
systems have been established based on the characteristics of 
particular businesses, and measures are being put in place to 
strengthen and improve the effectiveness of these systems.
  Furthermore, SMBC Group is strengthening group-wide risk 
management systems through the Group CRO Committee and 
the Global CRO Committee.

 Risk Register

A risk register is formulated by each business unit for  
the purpose of realizing more sophisticated risk governance 
and enhancing business units’ risk ownership. In formulating 
these registers, business units communicate with risk  
management departments to identify the risks present in  
their business, and these risks are reflected in business  
strategies after they have been evaluated and the adequacy  
of measures for controlling them has been verified.

 Key Risk Events

Key Risk Events (KRE), external events that indicate the in-
creased threat of risks, have been identified to ascertain the 
symptoms of the potential risks. KRE are utilized to analyze 
and assess how likely similar cases will occur in SMBC Group 
and what effects such similar cases will have on SMBC Group, 
and to enhance our risk management system.

IT Strategies

Our Approach

SMBC Group is advancing both  

proactive and defensive digitalization 

initiatives to support efforts in its 

Seven Core Business Areas.

   Proactive and Defensive Digitalization 

Initiatives

SMBC Group is moving forward with digitalization initiatives 
targeting four areas. Through proactive digitalization initiatives, 
the Group aims to (1) generate new businesses and (2) create 
customer benefits and business value through the trans-
formation of existing business models. Under defensive  
digitalization initiatives, the Group seeks to (3) automate  
operations and processes in conventional businesses and  
(4) establish IT infrastructure to support medium- to long-term 
business reform.
  Proactive digitalization initiatives include utilizing artificial 
intelligence, promoting cashless and other strategies. Mean-
while, defensive digitalization initiatives go beyond maintaining 
existing systems and ensuring stable operation to include IT 
transformation initiatives for adopting cutting-edge architec-
tures. In these initiatives, we pursue efficient operations 
through the development of shared group-wide platforms and 
the utilization of cloud technologies while embracing state-of-
the-art IT infrastructure and development technologies.

   IT Investment Strategies
Under the previous Medium-Term Management Plan, SMBC 
Group completed the overhaul of large-scale systems through 
measures including the renewal of its core banking system 
platform and the implementation of a mutual backup function 
between data centers. Initiatives as part of the current Medium- 
Term Management Plan involves the increased allocation of  

IT budget to strategic investments for business innovation and 
the creation of new businesses through digitalization.
  SMBC Group applies rigorous standards to the selection  
of system development projects while also assessing and 
verifying the benefits of these projects before and after in 
order to maximize those benefits. Specific targets for return  
on investment and key performance indicators must be set  
for all projects, and the degree to which these targets are 
accomplished will be reviewed over a five-year period after  
the completion of each project. Corrective measures will be 
implemented with regard to those systems that have not 
reached the appropriate performance levels. Even after the 
desired performance has been realized, the effectiveness  
of each system will be measured in terms of sufficiency,  
efficiency, stability, and utilization so that improvements can 
be implemented to systems that have suffered declines in 
effectiveness. This process constitutes a PDCA (plan-do-
check-act) cycle that will be employed to maximize the  
benefits of IT investments.

   Digital Governance and Sophisticated  

Human Resources Development

Under the guidance of the Group Chief Information Officer 
(CIO), we clarify lines of reporting for overseas offices and 
other Group companies in order to develop a corporate gover-
nance system that is integrated across the Group and globally. 
At the same time, we practice IT governance that emphasizes 
quality while evolving digital governance frameworks to

SMBC Group Annual Report 2019incorporate risk-based and speed-oriented perspectives for 
accelerating digitalization initiatives.
  SMBC Group executes systematic personnel exchanges 
between the IT divisions of Group companies. In addition, the 
Digital University has been established within core IT Group 
company The Japan Research Institute, Limited, as an inter-
nal training institution for promoting IT adoption and digitaliza-
tion. At the Digital University, we offer a unique menu of 
training programs including training based on the operations 
of specific Group companies, curricula employing the exper-
tise gained from project case studies, and cutting-edge tech-
nology workshops.

   Cyber Security
Cyber attacks are becoming ever-more serious and sophisti-
cated. In order to respond to the risks of such attacks, SMBC 
Group has strengthened cyber security measures by defining 
cyber risks as one of its Top Risks and, establishing a Declara-
tion of Cyber Security Management.
  Seeking to facilitate management-led measures for fortifying 
response frameworks, the general manager of the System Risk 
Planning Department has been appointed as the Chief Infor-
mation Security Officer (CISO). Positioned under the Group 
CIO and the Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO), the CISO has 
professional expertise regarding measures in this area, and 
steps have been taken to clarify the roles and responsibilities

of CISO. Furthermore, we have established a computer secu-
rity incident response team (CSIRT) and a security operation 
center (SOC), and analyses are performed on information 
regarding threats and observed phenomena collected from 
inside and outside of the Group. The results of these analyses, 
along with information on the status of security measures 
currently being implemented, are discussed regularly at meet-

Consolidated Performance Summary

Consolidated Net Business Profit

Financial Impacts of Group Reorganization*

Consolidated gross profit decreased by ¥134.9 billion year-on-
year to ¥2,846.2 billion. Performance was sluggish in the 
wealth management business of the Retail Business Unit, 
which showed strong performance in the previous fiscal year, 
due to the deterioration of market conditions in the second 
half of FY2018. Meanwhile, strong performance continued in 
the International Business Unit, leading group-wide growth, 
which contributed to a slight increase in consolidated gross 
profit when excluding the financial impacts of Group reorgani-
zation detailed to the right.
  General and administrative expenses decreased by ¥101.1 
billion year-on-year to ¥1,715.1 billion. They decreased even 
after excluding the impact of Group reorganization because of 
ongoing group-wide cost control initiatives.
  As a result, consolidated net business profit decreased  
by ¥11.6 billion year-on-year to ¥1,192.3 billion. Excluding  
the impacts of reorganizations, it reached the same level as  
the strong performance in FY2017, despite the challenging 
business environment.

Profit Attributable to Owners of Parent

Total credit cost increased by ¥16.1 billion year-on-year to 
¥110.3 billion primarily due to reduced gains on reversal of 
provisions at SMBC.
  Consequently, ordinary profit decreased by ¥28.8 billion 
year-on-year to ¥1,135.3 billion. Profit attributable to  
owners of parent decreased by ¥7.7 billion year-on-year to 
¥726.7 billion, however, it surpassed the disclosed target  
of ¥700.0 billion.

Contributions to Para Sports in Preparation 
for the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 

SMBC Group is holding events across Japan with the aim  
of generating interest in the Olympic and Paralympic Games 
Tokyo 2020. For example, we organized SMBC FRIENDS 
RUN 2019 in YOKOHAMA at International Stadium Yokohama 
500 days prior to the opening day of the games as part of  
500 Days to Go! Festival—500 Days Until the Olympic and 
Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. 
  With only one year remaining until the Olympic and  
Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, SMBC is engaged in a con-
certed effort to generate interest in the Games across Japan.

SMBC Group employs 12 para-athletes (as of June 30, 2019). 
These athletes take part in events for fostering understanding 
with regard to para sports and for encouraging social ac-
ceptance by holding para sports workshops for children and 
acting as presenters at new employee rallies.
  Together with these employees, SMBC Group is contributing 
to the spread of para sports leading up to the Paralympic 
Games Tokyo 2020.

without incurring unacceptably large losses. Examples of such risk include the possible 
inability to meet current and future cash flow / collateral needs, both expected and

Stress Testing
SMBC Group conducts stress testing for each category of risks 

as well as stress testing used to verify the overall soundness of 

comprehensive risk management practices. The level of soundness 

used for verifications is determined based on risk appetite com-

bined with consideration for the severity of the scenario anticipated.

  When  evaluating  group-wide  soundness,  evaluations  are 

made using the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated 

statements of income, which include data from affiliates, with the 

goal of identifying major risks to our business and asset portfolio. 

Specifically, scenarios are selected based on the aforementioned 

severity level as well as background conditions that cover all areas 

In this manner, stress testing processes often require a variety 

of expertise. When selecting the background conditions for scenar-

ios, expertise regarding macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical 

risks is required. When selecting methodologies, insight into the 

statistical and other mathematical analysis techniques is crucial. 

When calculating impacts on SMBC Group as a whole, insight into 

SMBC Group and the businesses of its customers must be used. 

Stress testing processes will thus be based on discussions among 

and opinions of directors, members of upper management, special-

ists, and representatives from relevant organizations and records 

will be created of these discussions and opinions in order to ensure 

objectivity, transparency, and reproducibility. In this way, measures 

in which we may face risks (e.g. an outlook encompassing the entire 

for practicing proper governance of stress testing will be applied.

world). We also employ methodology for ensuring scenarios can 

be accurately reflected and for incorporating business and portfolio 

characteristics.

Commonly used statistical methods are utilized in developing 

such methodologies. However, as it is necessary to estimate out-

liers, we may choose the methodology that best recreates outliers 

rather  than  the  methodology  that  offers  the  highest  statistical 

accuracy. When projecting scenarios for which there are no prior 

examples, human judgment may be given greater weight than the 

results of estimates.

■ Stress Testing Process

(1) Scenario Design

Scenarios are designed by the Corporate Risk Management Department after compil-
ing information on SMBC Group’s Top Risks and the views of related departments on 
such factors as future global trends.

(2) Scenario Finalization

Scenarios are revised as necessary based on the outcome of discussions between 
specialists and related departments.

(3) Calculation of Impact

The scenario’s impact on each financial item is estimated for analysis of the impact on 
such indicators as the CET1.

(4) Confirmation by the 
Management Committee

At the Management Committee, business strategies are examined based on analyses 
of risk impact amounts and then verified from the perspective of capital adequacy.

1. Basic Approach to Credit Risk Management

(1) Characteristics of Credit Risk
Credit risk is characterized by the possibility of a loss arising from 

a credit event, such as deterioration in the financial condition of a 

borrower, that causes an asset (including off-balance sheet transac-

tions) to lose value or become worthless.

(2) Fundamental Principles for Credit Risk Management
All Group companies follow the fundamental principles established 

by SMBC Group to assess and manage credit risk on a group-wide 

basis and further raise the level of accuracy and comprehensive-

ness of group-wide credit risk management. Each Group company 

must comprehensively manage credit risk according to the nature of 

its business, and assess and manage credit risk of individual loans 

and credit portfolios quantitatively and using consistent standards.

Credit risk is the most significant risk to which SMBC Group is 

exposed. Without effective credit risk management, the impact of 

the corresponding losses on operations can be overwhelming.

The purposes of credit risk management is to keep credit risk 

exposure to a permissible level relative to capital, to maintain the 

soundness of group-wide assets, and to ensure returns commen-

surate with risk. Doing so leads to a loan portfolio that achieves high 

returns on capital and assets.

Investment Planning Department within the Risk Management Unit 

furnishes the credit risk management system and is thus responsible 

for the comprehensive management of credit risk. This department 

drafts and administers credit policies, the internal rating system, 

credit authority guidelines, and credit application guidelines, and 

also manages NPLs and performs other aspects of credit portfolio 

management.

The  department  also  cooperates  with  the  Corporate  Risk 

Management Department in quantifying credit risk (risk capital and 

risk-weighted assets) and controls the bank’s entire credit risk. 

Further, the Credit Portfolio Management Department within the 

Credit & Investment Planning Department has been strengthening 

its active portfolio management function for stable credit portfolios 

mainly through credit derivatives and the sales of loans.

SMBC Servicer Co., Ltd., which engages in related services, and 

by such means as the sell-off of claims. Through industrial and 

sector-specific surveys and studies of individual companies, the

with potentially troubled credit positions as well as promising growth 

companies.

3. Credit Risk Management Methods

(1) Credit Risk Assessment and Quantification
At SMBC Group, to effectively manage the risk involved in individual 

loans as well as the credit portfolio as a whole, we first acknowl-

edge that every loan entails credit risks, assess the credit risk posed 

by each borrower and loan using an internal rating system, and 

quantify that risk for control purposes.

(a) Internal Rating System

There is an internal rating system for each asset control category 

established according to portfolio characteristics. For example, 

credits to corporates are assigned an “obligor grade,” which indi-

cates the borrower’s creditworthiness, and/or “facility grade,” which 

indicates the collectibility of assets taking into account transaction 

conditions, such as guarantee/collateral, credit period, and tenor. An 

obligor grade is determined by first assigning a financial grade using 

a financial strength grading model and data obtained from the obli-

gor’s financial statements. The financial grade is then adjusted taking 

into account the actual state of the obligor’s balance sheet and 

qualitative factors to derive the obligor grade. In the event that the

The expected loss amount for the next 12 months is 
calculated for each grade based on the grade’s historical 
bankruptcy rate, and the total amount is recorded as 
“provision for the general reserve for possible loan losses�”

These assets are divided into groups according to the level 
of default risk� Amounts are recorded as provisions for the 
general reserve in proportion to the expected losses based 
on the historical bankruptcy rate of each group� The groups 
are “claims on Substandard Borrowers” and “claims on other 
Borrowers Requiring Caution�” The latter group is further 
subdivided according to the borrower’s financial position, 
credit situation, and other factors� Further, when cash flows 
can be estimated reasonably accurately, the discounted 
cash flow (DCF) method is applied mainly to large claims for 
calculating the provision amount�

A provision for the specific reserve for possible loan losses 
is made for the portion of Classification III assets (calculated 
for each borrower) not secured by collateral, guarantee, or 
other means� Further, when cash flows can be estimated 
reasonably accurately, the DCF method is applied mainly to 
large claims for calculating the provision amount�

Classification III asset and Classification IV asset amounts

(b) Write-Offs and Provisions

In cases in which claims have been determined to be uncollectible 

or deemed to be uncollectible, write-offs signify the recognition of 

losses on the account books with respect to such claims. Write-

offs can be made either in the form of loss recognition by offsetting 

uncollectible amounts against corresponding balance sheet items, 

referred to as a direct write-off, or else by recognition of a loan 

loss provision on a contra-asset account in the amount deemed 

uncollectible, referred to as an indirect write-off. Recognition of 

indirect write-offs is generally known as provision for the reserve for 

possible loan losses.

The write-off and provision standards and procedures for each 

self-assessment borrower category at SMBC, the core bank of 

SMBC Group, are shown below. As part of our overall measures 

to strengthen credit risk management throughout SMBC Group, all 

consolidated subsidiaries use substantially the same standards as 

SMBC for write-offs and provisions.

Discounted Cash Flow Method

SMBC uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to calculate 
the provision amounts for large claims on Substandard Borrowers 
and Potentially Bankrupt Borrowers when the cash flow from 
repayment of principal and interest received can be estimated rea-
sonably accurately. SMBC then makes provisions equivalent to the 
excess of the book value of the claims over the said cash inflow 
discounted by the initial contractual interest rate or the effective 
interest rate at the time of origination. One of the major advantages 
of the DCF method over conventional methods of calculating the 
provision amount is that it enables effective evaluation of each indi-
vidual borrower. However, as the provision amount depends on the 
future cash flow estimated on the basis of the borrower’s business 
reconstruction plan and the DCF formula input values, such as the 
discount rate and the probability of the borrower going into bank-
ruptcy, SMBC makes every effort to utilize up-to-date and correct 
data to realize the most accurate estimates possible.

Management

(1) Definitions of Market and Liquidity Risks
Market risk is the possibility that fluctuations in interest rates, foreign 

exchange rates, stock prices, or other market prices will change the 

market value of financial products, leading to a loss.

Liquidity risk is defined as the uncertainty around the ability of the 

firm to meet debt obligations without incurring unacceptably large 

losses. Examples of such risk include the possible inability to meet 

current and future cash flow/collateral needs, both expected and 

unexpected. In such cases, the firm may be required to raise funds 

at less than favorable rates or be unable to raise sufficient funds for 

settlement.

(2)  Fundamental Principles for Market and Liquidity 

Risk Management

SMBC Group is working to further enhance the effectiveness of 

its quantitative management of market and liquidity risks across 

the  entire  Group  by  setting  allowable  risk  limits;  ensuring  the 

pertaining to market transactions. These limits are set within the risk 

capital limit, which is determined taking into account the Group’s 

shareholders’ equity and other principal indicators of the Group’s 

financial position and management resources.

  Market  risk  can  be  divided  into  various  factors:  foreign 

exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, and option risks. 

SMBC Group manages each of these risk categories by employing 

the VaR method as well as supplemental indicators suitable for 

managing the risk of each risk factor, such as the BPV.

Trading activities are market operations that gain profits by 

taking advantage of fluctuations of market prices in the short term 

or price differences among markets. We assess and manage the 

market risk of trading activities on a daily basis by utilizing VaR and

i Outline of validity verification

SMBC Group uses back-testing as a method for verification of 

the validity of the internal model. VaR figures calculated by the 

internal model are compared with actual portfolio profit-and-loss 

figures on a given day to compute an appropriate VaR level and 

confirm the adequacy of risk capital management.

Information on back-testing of trading in fiscal 2018 can be found 

on page 299.

c. Indicators substitute for the back-testing method

SMBC Group employs, as a method substitute for the back-testing 

method, the VaR wherein presumptions for the model, such as 

observation periods, change.

d. Changes in model from fiscal 2017

There have been no changes in the model from fiscal 2017.

(c) Stress Testing

The  market  occasionally  undergoes  extreme  fluctuations  that 

exceed projections. To manage market risk, therefore, it is important 

to run simulations of unforeseen situations that may occur in finan-

cial markets (stress testing). SMBC Group conducts stress tests 

regularly, assuming various scenarios, and has measures in place 

for irregular events.

(2) Liquidity Risk Management
At SMBC Group, liquidity risk is regarded as one of the major risks. 

The Group’s liquidity risk management is based on a framework 

consisting of setting Risk Appetite Measures and establishing con-

tingency plans.

The Risk Appetite Measures are measures for selecting the 

types and levels of risk that we are willing to take on or tolerate. As 

the level of liquidity risk is evaluated based on cash flow and balance 

sheet conditions, Risk Appetite Measures have been set for both of 

these areas. These measures include Liquidity Coverage Ratio, a 

liquidity regulation; periods set for which it will be possible to main-

tain funding levels even under stress due to deposit outflow or other 

factors; and the ratio that stable funding covers loans.

established by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Group companies 

have developed an operational risk management system.

(1) Definition of Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed 

internal processes, people, and systems or from external events. 

Specifically, the risk—which, in addition to processing risk and sys-

tem risk, covers legal risk, human resources risk, reputational risk, 

and tangible asset risk—consists of the following seven event types 

that may lead to the risk of loss defined in the Basel Capital Accord: 

(1) internal fraud, (2) external fraud, (3) employment practices and 

workplace safety, (4) clients, products, and business practices, (5) 

damage to physical assets, (6) business disruption and system 

failures, and (7) execution, delivery, and process management.

Directors. In addition, the Corporate Risk Management Department 

oversees the overall management of operational risks and works 

together with departments responsible for the subcategories such 

as processing risks and system risks to establish a system for 

comprehensively managing operational risks.

As a brief overview, this system operates by collecting and 

analyzing internal loss data and Key Risk Indicators (KRI) from 

Group companies. In addition, the system entails comprehen-

sively specifying scenarios involving operational risks based on 

the operational procedures of companies that have adopted the 

Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) on a regular basis and 

estimating the loss amount and frequency of the occurrence of 

such losses based on each scenario. Risk severities are quantified 

for each scenario. For those scenarios having high severities, risk 

mitigation plans will be developed and the implementation status

3. Operational Risk Management Methodology
As previously defined, operational risks cover a wide range of 

cases, including the risks of losses due to errors in operation, 

system failures, and natural disasters. Also, operational risk events 

can occur virtually anywhere and everywhere. Thus, it is essential 

to check whether material operational risks have been overlooked, 

monitor the overall status of risks, and manage and control them. 

To this end, it is necessary to be able to quantify risks using a 

measurement methodology that can be applied to all types of oper-

ational risks and to comprehensively and comparatively capture the 

status of and changes in potential operational risks in business pro-

cesses. Also, from the viewpoint of internal control, the measure-

ment methodology used to create risk mitigation measures must be 

such that the implementation of the measures quantitatively reduces 

operational risks.

At the end of March 2008, SMBC Group adopted the AMA set 

forth by the Basel Capital Accord for calculating the operational risk

losses in a year) and the distribution of loss severity (distribution of 

loss amount per case) by making various combinations of frequen-

cies and amounts of losses according to the Monte Carlo simulation 

method. In addition, the model calculates the maximum amount of 

loss expected, due to operational risks, based on the assumption 

of one-sided confidence interval of 99.9% and the holding period of 

one year. Regarding losses on repayment of excess interest of cer-

tain subsidiaries engaged in consumer finance operations, expected 

losses are deducted from the maximum amount of operational risk 

loss when calculating the operational risk equivalent amount.

Operational risk equivalent amount in respect of the tangible 

asset damages arising from earthquakes is measured using the 

probability data of earthquake occurrence in each part of Japan and 

the distribution of loss amount from those earthquake occurrences.

The measurement units are Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group

consolidated basis. The operational risk equivalent amount based 

on the AMA is calculated as the simple aggregate of the amount

4. Processing Risk Management
Processing risk is the risk of losses arising from negligent processing 

by directors and employees, and from accidents or misconducts.

SMBC Group has clarified the divisions responsible for the over-

sight functions for processing risk management, and we are working 

to raise the level of sophistication of our management of processing 

risk across the whole Group on a risk basis by establishing systems 

for managing the processing risks faced by Group companies, 

ensuring in-office inspection, minimizing losses in the event of 

processing risk materialization by drafting exhaustive contingency 

plans, and carrying out thorough quantification of the risk under 

management as basic principles.

Basic policies for processing risk management are decided by 

the Management Committee and then approved by the Board of 

Directors. The status of processing risk management is reported to 

the Management Committee and the Board of Directors regularly 

and when necessary. These and other steps are taken to ensure 

that we can provide customers with high-quality services.

Based on the group-wide basic policies for risk management, 

Group companies promote appropriate operating practices by 

establishing operating rules and regulations, systematizing trans-

action processing, receiving guidance from business divisions, and 

inspecting conditions related to transaction processing.

5. System Risk Management
System risk is the risk arising from nonconformity to the business 

strategies, inappropriate technologies applied, changes to the 

development plan and delay in development when building an 

information system, and the risk of loss incurred due to system 

breakdown including those caused by cyber attack, malfunction, 

deficiency or unauthorized use (unauthorized alteration, destruction, 

duplication and leakage of information).

SMBC Group has set the following as basic principles: rec-

ognizing information systems as an essential part of management 

ments* for cyber risk management by the financial sector released 

by the G7 Cyber Expert Group in October 2018. Meanwhile, the 

focus on constant monitoring and human resources development by 

dedicated organizations will continue to be maintained to reinforce 

response measures to cyber risks.

In addition, we actively and openly incorporate various tech-

nological progress to improve convenience for customers, create 

new businesses, boost productivity and efficiency, and otherwise 

promote digitalization in a wide range of fields. The systems for 

managing the risks projected to arise from such activities are being 

strengthened on an ongoing basis in response to operating environ-

ment changes. As SMBC Group adopts artificial intelligence, cloud, 

robotic process automation, and application programing interface 

technologies, shared group-wide manuals are being prepared with 

regard to items requiring compliance at the time of introduction, 

technology-specific risks, and items for periodic monitoring. These 

manuals are being utilized as part of efforts to reinforce group-wide 

IT governance.

SMBC operates its risk management system by conducting 

risk assessments based on the Security Guidelines published by 

the Center for Financial Industry Information Systems (FISC) and by 

enhancing safety measures based on the results of these assess-

ments. System troubles at banks have the potential to heavily impact 

society. In addition, system risks are diversifying due to advances 

in IT and the expansion of business fields. Recognizing these facts, 

we have numerous measures in place for system trouble prevention, 

including maintenance to ensure stable and uninterrupted operation, 

duplication of various systems and infrastructure, and a disaster- 

prevention system consisting of data centers in eastern and western 

Japan. To maintain the confidentiality of customer data and prevent 

leaks of information, sensitive information is encrypted, unauthorized 

external access is blocked, and all other possible measures are 

taken to secure data. We also have contingency plans for unforeseen 

circumstances and hold training sessions as necessary to ensure full 

preparedness in the event of an emergency.

conduct into its activities.

(1)  Provision of Products and Services Suited to the 

Customer

When drawing up and underwriting financial products, we will act 

with an accurate understanding of customer needs, determining the 

ideal target customer group based on the risks and complexity of 

the products, in order to properly develop and select products.

  We will also help customers to find the ideal products and ser-

vices. Our first step in this process will be to learn about our custom-

ers, inquiring into their needs and goals. We will next look at their level 

of knowledge, investment experience, and asset portfolios so that we 

can propose the best possible products and services for them.

If we think that a product may not be ideally suited to a custom-

er’s needs based on its characteristics or risks, we will discuss this 

matter with the customer as necessary and refrain from proposing 

such products when doing so is inappropriate.

(2)  Easy-to-Understand Explanation of Important 

Information

The amount of information provided to customers on the charac-

teristics, risks, and fees of the products we handle as well as on 

the economic climate and market trends will be enhanced to help 

customers make informed decisions. Furthermore, we will strive to 

explain this information in an easy-to-understand manner.

(3) Clarification of Fees
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group receives fees from customers for 

the products and services it provides out of consideration for the 

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group thus develops its performance 

evaluation systems from a long-term perspective with the aim of 

encouraging customer-oriented sales activities. At the same time, we 

are expanding our range of training programs for promoting earnest 

and just work practices and higher levels of business ethics.

  SMBC Group aims to facilitate the shift from savings to asset 

holding seen in Japan through such initiatives.

Furthermore, we will periodically disclose information on initiatives 

by SMBC Group based on this policy with the aim of facilitating 

understanding regarding these initiatives among customers. In addi-

tion, the status of initiatives and their results will be verified so that 

initiatives can be revised as necessary to improve upon operating 

practices. Information regarding these verifications and revisions will 

be disclosed.

(4) Management of Conflicts of Interest
Performing duties in an earnest and just manner based on a cus-

tomer-oriented perspective entails managing any potential conflicts 

of interest to ensure that our operations are truly customer oriented.

  Based  on  the  Management  Policy  Concerning  Conflicts  of 

Interest in Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, we have defined the 

types of conflicts of interest requiring management as well as the 

types of transactions that tend to present conflicts of interest and 

procedures for identifying these transactions, methods and systems 

for managing conflicts of interest, and the scope of Group compa-

nies at which conflicts of interest should be managed. In this manner, 

we take steps to ensure that conflicts of interest are properly man-

aged and therefore do not impede the interests of customers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc� and Subsidiaries

(Basis of presentation)

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was established on December 2, 2002 as a holding company for the SMBC Group 

(“the Group”) through a statutory share transfer (kabushiki iten) of all of the outstanding equity securities of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking 

Corporation (“SMBC”) in exchange for the Company’s newly issued securities. The Company is a joint stock corporation with limited liability 

(Kabushiki Kaisha) incorporated under the Companies Act of Japan. Upon formation of the Company and completion of the statutory share 

transfer, SMBC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese 

Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally 

accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International 

Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS”).

The accounts of overseas subsidiaries and affiliated companies, are, in principle, integrated with those of the Company’s accounting policies 

for purposes of consolidation unless they apply different accounting principles and standards as required under U.S. GAAP or IFRS, in which 

case a certain limited number of items are adjusted based on their materiality. 

These consolidated financial statements are translated from the consolidated financial statements contained in the annual securities report 

filed under the Financial Instrument and Exchange Act of Japan (“FIEA based financial statements”) except for the addition of the non-

consolidated financial statements and US dollar figures.

Amounts less than 1 million yen have been rounded down. As a result, the totals in Japanese yen shown in the financial statements do not 

necessarily agree with the sum of the individual amounts. 

The translation of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars is included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan, using the 

prevailing exchange rate at March 31, 2019 which was ¥111.00 to US$1. These translations should not be construed as representations that the 

Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at that rate.

October 31.............................  
December 31......................... .

with balance sheets dated January 31 and certain subsidiaries with balance sheets dated December 31 are consolidated using the 
financial statements as of March 31. Other subsidiaries are consolidated using the financial statements as of their respective balance sheet 
dates.

Appropriate adjustments were made to material transactions during the periods between their respective balance sheet dates and the 

consolidated closing date.

4.  Accounting policies

(1)  Standards for recognition and measurement of trading assets/liabilities and trading income/losses

Transactions for trading purposes (seeking gains arising from short-term changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or market 
prices of securities and other market related indices or from variation among markets) are included in “Trading assets” or “Trading 
liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets on a trade date basis. Profits and losses on trading-purpose transactions are recognized on a 
trade date basis, and recorded as “Trading income” and “Trading losses” on the consolidated statements of income.

Securities and monetary claims purchased for trading purposes are stated at the fiscal year-end market value, and financial derivatives 

such as swaps, futures and options are stated at amounts that would be settled if the transactions were terminated at the consolidated 
balance sheet date.

“Trading income” and “Trading losses” include interest received or paid during the fiscal year. The year-on-year valuation differences 

of securities and monetary claims are also recorded in the above-mentioned accounts. As for the derivatives, assuming that the 
settlement will be made in cash, the year-on-year valuation differences are also recorded in the above-mentioned accounts.

(2)  Standards for recognition and measurement of securities

1)  Debt securities that consolidated subsidiaries have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-

maturity securities and are carried at amortized cost (based on straight-line method) using the moving-average method. Investments 
in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that are not accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost using the moving-
average method. Securities other than trading purpose securities, held-to-maturity securities and investments in unconsolidated 
subsidiaries and affiliates are classified as “other securities” (available-for-sale securities). Stocks (including foreign stocks) in other 
securities are carried at their average market prices during the final month of the fiscal year, and bonds and others are carried at their 
fiscal year-end market prices (cost of securities sold is calculated using primarily the moving-average method). Other securities which 
are extremely difficult to determine fair value are carried at cost using the moving-average method.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on other securities, net of income taxes, are included in “Net assets” except for the amount reflected 

on the gains or losses by applying fair value hedge accounting.

2)  Securities included in money held in trust are carried in the same method as in (1) and (2), 1) above.

(3)  Standards for recognition and measurement of derivative transactions

Derivative transactions, excluding those classified as trading derivatives, are carried at fair value.

(4)  Depreciation

1)  Tangible fixed assets (excluding assets for rent and lease assets)

Buildings owned by the Company and SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, are depreciated using the straight-
line method. Others are depreciated using the declining-balance method. The estimated useful lives of major items are as follows:

Buildings: 
Others: 
Other consolidated subsidiaries depreciate tangible fixed assets primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful 

7 to 50 years
2 to 20 years

2) 

lives of the respective assets.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. Capitalized software for internal use owned by the Company 
and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries is depreciated over its estimated useful life (5 to 10 years).

3)  Assets for rent

Assets for rent are depreciated using the straight-line method, assuming that lease terms are, in principle, their depreciation period 
and the salvage is estimated disposal value when the lease period expires.

4)  Lease assets

Lease assets with respect to non-transfer ownership finance leases, which are recorded in “Tangible fixed assets,” are depreciated using 
the straight-line method, assuming that lease terms are their expected lifetime and salvage values are zero.

2019/08/16   18:54:02

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(5)  Reserve for possible loan losses

The reserve for possible loan losses of major consolidated subsidiaries is provided as detailed below in accordance with the internal 
standards for write-offs and provisions.

For claims on borrowers that have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation proceedings or similar legal proceedings (“Bankrupt 
borrowers”) or borrowers that are not legally or formally insolvent but are regarded as substantially in the same situation (“Effectively 
bankrupt borrowers”), a reserve is provided based on the amount of claims, after the write-off stated below, net of the expected amount 
of recoveries from collateral and guarantees. For claims on borrowers that are not currently bankrupt but are perceived to have a high 
risk of falling into bankruptcy (“Potentially bankrupt borrowers”), a reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on an 
overall solvency assessment of the borrowers, net of the expected amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees.

Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) method is used for claims on borrowers whose cash flows from collection of principals and interest 

can be rationally estimated, and SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies it to claims on large potentially 
bankrupt borrowers and claims on large borrowers requiring close monitoring that have been classified as “Past due loans (3 months or 
more)” or “Restructured loans,” whose total loans from SMBC exceed a certain amount. SMBC establishes a reserve for possible loan 
losses using the DCF method for such claims in the amount of the difference between the present value of principal and interest 
(calculated using the rationally estimated cash flows discounted at the initial contractual interest rate) and the book value.

For other claims, a reserve is provided based on the historical loan-loss ratio. For claims originated in specific overseas countries, an 

additional reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on the assessment of political and economic conditions.

Branches and credit supervision departments assess all claims in accordance with the internal rules for self-assessment of assets, and 

the Credit Review Department, independent from these operating sections, audits their assessment.

The reserve for possible loan losses of other consolidated subsidiaries for general claims is provided in the amount deemed necessary 
based on the historical loan-loss ratios, and for doubtful claims in the amount deemed uncollectible based on assessment of each claim.
For collateralized or guaranteed claims on bankrupt borrowers and effectively bankrupt borrowers, the amount exceeding the 
estimated value of collateral and guarantees is deemed to be uncollectible and written off against the total outstanding amount of the 
claims. The amount of write-off for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 were ¥190,945 million and ¥139,981 million, 
respectively.

(6)  Reserve for employee bonuses

The reserve for employee bonuses is provided for payment of bonuses to employees, in the amount of estimated bonuses, which are 
attributable to the fiscal year.
(7)  Reserve for executive bonuses

The reserve for executive bonuses is provided for payment of bonuses to executives, in the amount of estimated bonuses, which are 
attributable to the fiscal year.

(8)  Reserve for executive retirement benefits

The reserve for executive retirement benefits is provided for payment of retirement benefits to directors, corporate auditors and other 
corporate executive officers, in the amount deemed accrued at the fiscal year-end based on our internal regulations.

(9)  Reserve for point service program

The reserve for point service program is provided for the potential future redemption of points awarded to customers under the “SMBC 
Point Pack,” credit card points programs, and other customer points award programs. The amount is calculated by converting the 
outstanding points into a monetary amount, and rationally estimating and recognizing the amount that will be redeemed in the future.

(10) Reserve for reimbursement of deposits

The reserve for reimbursement of deposits which were derecognized as liabilities under certain conditions is provided for the possible 
losses on the future claims of withdrawal based on the historical reimbursements.

(11) Reserve for losses on interest repayment

The reserve for losses on interest repayment is provided for the possible losses on future claims of repayment of interest based on 
historical interest repayment experience.

(12) Reserve under the special laws

The reserve under the special laws is a reserve for contingent liabilities and provided for compensation for losses from securities related 
transactions or derivative transactions, pursuant to Article 46-5 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

(13) Employee retirement benefits

In calculating the projected benefit obligation, mainly the benefit formula basis is used to attribute the expected benefit attributable to 
the respective fiscal year.

Unrecognized prior service cost is amortized on a straight-line basis, primarily over 9 years within the employees’ average remaining 

service period at incurrence.

Unrecognized net actuarial gain (loss) is amortized on a straight-line basis, primarily over 9 years within the employees’ average 

remaining service period, commencing from the next fiscal year of incurrence.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(14) Translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities

Assets and liabilities of the Company and SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, denominated in foreign currencies 
and accounts of SMBC overseas branches are translated into Japanese yen mainly at the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated 
balance sheet date, with the exception of stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates translated at rates prevailing at the time of acquisition.
Other consolidated subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the 

exchange rate prevailing at their respective balance sheet dates.

(15) Lease transactions

1)  Recognition of income on finance leases

Interest income is allocated to each period.
2)  Recognition of income on operating leases

Primarily, lease-related income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the full term of the lease, based on the contractual amount 
of lease fees per month.

3)  Recognition of income and expenses on installment sales

Primarily, installment-sales-related income and installment-sales-related expenses are recognized on a due-date basis over the full 
period of the installment sales.

(16) Hedge accounting

1)  Hedging against interest rate changes

As for the hedge accounting method applied to hedging transactions for interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities, 
SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies deferred hedge accounting.

SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in “Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting 
Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 24, February 13, 2002) to 
portfolio hedges on groups of large-volume, small-value monetary claims and debts.

As for the portfolio hedges to offset market fluctuation, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges by classifying the hedged 

items (such as deposits and loans) and the hedging instruments (such as interest rate swaps) by their maturity. As for the portfolio 
hedges to fix cash flows, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges by verifying the correlation between the hedged items and 
the hedging instruments.

As for the individual hedges, SMBC also assesses the effectiveness of such individual hedges.

2)  Hedging against currency fluctuations

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in “Treatment of 
Accounting and Auditing Concerning Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in Banking Industry” (JICPA Industry Audit 
Committee Report No. 25, July 29, 2002) to currency swap and foreign exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of 
lending or borrowing funds in different currencies.

Pursuant to JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 25, SMBC assesses the effectiveness of currency swap and foreign 
exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of offsetting the risk of changes in currency exchange rates by verifying that 
there are foreign-currency monetary claims and debts corresponding to the foreign-currency positions.

In order to hedge risk arising from volatility of exchange rates for stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates and other securities 

(excluding bonds) denominated in foreign currencies, SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting or fair value hedge accounting, on 
the conditions that the hedged securities are designated in advance and that sufficient on-balance (actual) or off-balance (forward) 
liability exposure exists to cover the cost of the hedged securities denominated in the same foreign currencies.

3)  Hedging against share price fluctuations

SMBC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, applies fair value hedge accounting to individual hedges offsetting the 
price fluctuation of the shares that are classified under other securities, and accordingly evaluates the effectiveness of such individual 
hedges.

4)  Transactions between consolidated subsidiaries

As for derivative transactions between consolidated subsidiaries or internal transactions between trading accounts and other accounts 
(or among internal sections), SMBC manages the interest rate swaps and currency swaps that are designated as hedging instruments 
in accordance with the non-arbitrary and strict criteria for external transactions stipulated in JICPA Industry Audit Committee 
Report No. 24 and No. 25. Therefore, SMBC accounts for the gains or losses that arise from interest rate swaps and currency swaps 
in its earnings or defers them, rather than eliminating them.

Certain other consolidated subsidiaries apply the deferred hedge accounting, fair value hedge accounting or the special treatment 

for interest rate swaps.
(17) Amortization of goodwill

Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a period in which its benefit is expected to be realized, not to exceed 20 
years. Immaterial goodwill is charged or credited to income directly when incurred.

(18) Scope of “Cash and cash equivalents” on consolidated statements of cash flows

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated statements of cash flows, “Cash and cash equivalents” are cash on hand, non-interest 
earning deposits with banks and deposits with the Bank of Japan.

(1)  Outline

The accounting standard etc. provide comprehensive principles for revenue recognition by taking into account of international trends.

Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans are agreements to lend to customers, up to a prescribed amount, as long as there is no 
violation of any condition established in the contracts. The amounts of unused commitments at March 31, 2018 and 2019 were as follows:

Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of unused commitments does 
not necessarily represent actual future cash flow requirements. Many of these commitments include clauses under which SMBC and other 
consolidated subsidiaries can reject an application from customers or reduce the contract amounts in the event that economic conditions 
change, SMBC and other consolidated subsidiaries need to secure claims, or other events occur. In addition, SMBC and other consolidated 
subsidiaries may request the customers to pledge collateral such as premises and securities at the time of the contracts, and take necessary 
measures such as monitoring customers’ financial positions, revising contracts when such need arises and securing claims after the contracts 
are made.

At SMBC, a branch, which continuously manages and determines its income and expenses, is the smallest unit of asset group for 

recognition and measurement of impairment loss of fixed assets. Assets such as corporate headquarters facilities, training facilities, data and 
system centers, and health and recreational facilities which do not produce cash flows that can be attributed to individual assets are treated 
as corporate assets. As for idle assets, impairment loss is measured individually. At other consolidated subsidiaries, a branch or other group 
is the smallest asset grouping unit as well.

The carrying amounts of idle assets are reduced to their recoverable amounts, and the decreased amounts are included in “Extraordinary 

losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets,” if there are indicators that the invested amounts may not be recoverable. 

The recoverable amount is calculated using net realizable value which is basically determined by subtracting the expected disposal cost 

from the appraisal value based on the Real Estate Appraisal Standard.

The unit for goodwill and intangible assets is mainly based on each consolidated subsidiary. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, 
the book value of goodwill and intangible assets of the PB, Real Estate and Trust Services of SMBC Trust Bank Ltd. was not expected to be 
recovered. Therefore, all unamortized balance of goodwill and intangible assets at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were 
included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of fixed assets.” The recoverable amount is measured by value in use, which is 
calculated by discounting future cash flows by 10%. In addition, the book value of goodwill and intangible assets of the auto lease business 
of SMFL Capital Company, Limited was not expected to be recovered. Therefore, all unamortized balance of goodwill and a portion of 
intangible assets at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 were included in “Extraordinary losses” as “Losses on impairment of 
fixed assets.” The recoverable value is net realizable value, which is calculated based on the revalued corporate value.

(Notes to financial instruments) 
1.  Status of financial instruments

(1)  Policies on financial instruments

The Group conducts banking and other financial services such as leasing, securities, consumer finance, system development and 
information processing. Its banking business includes deposit taking, lending, securities trading and investment, remittance and 
transfer, foreign exchange, bond subscription agent, trust business, and over-the-counter sales of securities investment trusts and 
insurance products.

These services entail holding of financial assets such as loans and bills discounted, bonds, and stocks. Meanwhile, the Group raises 

funds through deposit taking, borrowing, bond offering, etc. Furthermore, it undertakes derivative transactions to meet customers’ 
hedging needs to control market risk associated with deposit taking and lending (“ALM purposes”), and to make profit on short-term 
fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, etc. (“trading purposes”). At SMBC, the Company’s major consolidated subsidiary, 
derivative transactions for ALM purposes are undertaken by the Treasury Dept. and the International Treasury Dept. of the Treasury 
Unit, while derivative transactions for trading purposes are undertaken by the Trading Dept. of the Treasury Unit (in Asia and Oceania 
regions, the Asia and Oceania Treasury Dept. is responsible for derivative transactions for both ALM and trading purposes).

(2)  Details of financial instruments and associated risks

1)  Financial assets

The main financial assets held by the Group include loans to foreign and domestic companies and domestic individuals, and 
securities such as bonds (government and corporate bonds) and stocks (foreign and domestic stocks), etc. Bonds such as government 
bonds are held for both trading and ALM purposes, and certain bonds are held as held-to-maturity securities. Stocks are held mainly 
for strategic purposes. These assets expose the Group to credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss 
arising from nonperformance of obligations by the borrower or issuer due to factors such as deterioration in the borrower’s/issuer’s 
financial conditions. Market risk is the risk stemming from fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, or share prices. Liquidity 
risk is the risk arising from difficulty executing transactions in desired quantities at appropriate prices due to low market liquidity. 
These risks are properly monitored and managed based on “(3) Risk management framework for financial instruments” below.

2)  Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group include borrowed money and bonds, etc. in addition to deposits. Deposits mainly comprise deposits 
of domestic and foreign companies and domestic individuals. Borrowed money and bonds include subordinated borrowings and 
subordinated bonds with special clause specifying that the repayment order of borrowing or bond subordinates to other borrowings 
or bonds. Also, financial liabilities, like financial assets, expose the Group to not only market risk but also funding liquidity risk: the 
risk of the Group not being able to raise funds due to market turmoil, deterioration in the Group’s creditworthiness or other factors. 
These risks are properly monitored and managed based on “(3) Risk management framework for financial instruments” below.

3)  Derivative transactions

Derivatives handled by the Group include foreign exchange futures; futures, forwards, swaps and options related to interest rates, 
currencies, equities, bonds and commodities; and credit and weather derivatives.

Major risks associated with derivatives include market risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk arising from nonperformance of 
contractual obligations due to deterioration in the counterparty’s financial conditions. These risks are properly monitored and 
managed based on “(3) Risk management framework for financial instruments” below.

Hedge accounting is applied to derivative transactions executed for ALM purposes, as necessary. Hedging instruments, hedged 
items, hedging policy and hedging method to assess the effectiveness of the hedge are described in “(Notes to significant accounting 
policies for preparing consolidated financial statements), 4. Accounting policies, (16) Hedge accounting.”

(3)  Risk management framework for financial instruments

The fundamental matters on risk management for the entire Group are set forth in “Regulations on Comprehensive Risk Management.” 
The Company’s Management Committee establishes the basic risk management policy for the entire Group, based on the regulations, 
which is then approved by the Board of Directors. Each Group company has a risk management system based on the characteristics of 
its particular businesses and in accordance with the basic policy. Furthermore, the Group CRO is established to assess risk management 
across the Group unitarily and implement appropriate risk management. The Company is sharing information on group-wide risk 
management and strengthening related systems through the Group CRO Committee, which consists of the Group CRO and risk 
management representatives from strategically important Group companies.

1)  Management of credit risk

The Company has established fundamental principles on credit risk management to thoroughly manage the credit risk of the entire 
Group. Each group company conducts integrated management of credit risk according to its operational characteristics, and the 
credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits are managed quantitatively and continuously.

(a)  Credit risk management system

The Group CRO formulates credit risk management policies each year based on the group-wide basic policies for risk 
management. Meanwhile, the Credit & Investment Planning Dept. is responsible for the comprehensive management of credit 
risk. This department drafts and administers credit risk regulations, including the Group’s credit policies, and performs credit 
portfolio management including non-performing loans. The Company has also established the Credit Risk Committee to serve as 
a body for deliberating on matters related to group-wide credit portfolios.

2019/08/16   18:54:03

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsAt SMBC, the Company’s major consolidated subsidiary, the Credit & Investment Planning Dept. of the Risk Management 

Unit is responsible for the comprehensive management of credit risk. This department establishes, revises or abolishes credit 
policies, the internal rating system, credit authority regulations, credit application regulations, and manages non-performing 
loans and other aspects of credit portfolio management. The department also controls SMBC’s total credit risk by quantifying 
credit risk (i.e. calculating risk capital and risk-weighted assets) in cooperation with the Corporate Risk Management Dept. 
Moreover, the Credit Portfolio Management Dept. within the Credit & Investment Planning Dept. works to stabilize SMBC’s 
overall credit portfolio through selling credit derivatives and loan claims.

The credit departments of each business unit conduct credit risk management for loans handled by their units and manage 
their units’ portfolios. Credit approval authority is generally determined based on the credit amounts and internal grades, and the 
credit departments focus on analysis and management of customers and transactions with relatively high credit risk. The Credit 
Administration Dept. is mainly responsible for formulating and implementing measures to reduce the exposure of non-
performing loans. Through industrial and sector-specific surveys and studies of individual companies, the Corporate Research 
Dept. works to form an accurate idea of the circumstances of borrower companies and identify those with potentially troubled 
credit positions at early stage.

Moreover, the Credit Risk Committee, a cross-departmental consultative body, rounds out SMBC’s oversight systems for 

undertaking flexible and efficient control of credit risk and ensuring the overall soundness of SMBC’s loan operations. 

In addition to these, the Internal Audit Unit, operating independently of the business units, audits asset quality, grading 
accuracy, self-assessment, and appropriateness of the credit risk management system, and reports the results directly to the Board 
of Directors and the Management Committee. 

(b)  Method of credit risk management

The Company properly manages the credit risk inherent in individual loans and the entire portfolio by assessing and quantifying 
the credit risk of each borrower/loan using the internal rating system. In addition to management of individual loans through 
credit screening and monitoring, it manages the credit portfolio as described below in order to secure and improve the credit 
portfolio’s soundness and medium-term profitability.
•  Appropriate risk-taking within capital

To keep credit risk exposure to a permissible level relative to capital, the Company sets credit risk capital limit for internal 
control purposes. Under these limits, separate guidelines are issued for each business unit and marketing unit. The Company 
regularly monitors compliance with these guidelines.

•  Controlling concentration of risk

Because concentration of credit risk in an industry or corporate group has the potential to impair the Company’s capital 
significantly, the Company implements measures to prevent excessive concentration of loan in a single industry and to control 
large exposure to individual borrowers by setting maximum loan amounts and conducting loan reviews thoroughly. To 
manage country risk, the Company also has credit limit guidelines based on each country’s creditworthiness.

•  Greater understanding of actual corporate conditions and balancing returns and risks

The Company runs credit operations on the basic principle of thoroughly understanding actual corporate conditions and 
gaining profit commensurate with the level of credit risk entailed, and makes every effort to improve profit at after-cost (credit 
cost, capital cost and overhead cost) level.

•  Reduction and prevention of non-performing loans

For non-performing loans and potential non-performing loans, the Company carries out loan reviews to clarify credit policies 
and action plans, enabling it to swiftly implement measures to prevent deterioration of borrowers’ business situations, support 
business recoveries, collect on loans, and enhance loan security.

In regard to financial instruments such as investments in certain funds, securitized products and credit derivatives that 
indirectly retain risks related to assets such as corporate bonds and loan claims (underlying assets), such instruments entail 
market and liquidity risks in addition to credit risk, since such instruments are traded on the market. Credit risk management 
for these instruments involving detailed analysis and evaluation of characteristics of underlying assets is performed while 
market risk is comprehensively managed within the framework for managing market and liquidity risks. Moreover, guidelines 
have been established based on the characteristics of each type of risk to appropriately manage risks of incurring losses.

In regard to credit risk of derivative transactions, the potential exposure based on the market price is regularly calculated 

and properly managed. When the counterparty is a financial institution with which the Company frequently conducts 
derivative transactions, measures such as a close-out netting provision, which provide offsetting credit exposures between two 
parties in a single net payment from one party to the other in case of bankruptcy or other default event, are implemented to 
reduce credit risk.

2)  Management of market and liquidity risks

The Company manages market and liquidity risks across the entire Group by setting allowable risk limits; ensuring the transparency 
of the risk management process; and clearly separating front-office, middle-office, and back-office operations for a highly efficient 
system of mutual checks and balances.

2019/08/16   18:54:03

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(a)  Market and liquidity risk management systems

In accordance with the group-wide basic policies for risk management decided upon by the Management Committee, the 
Company determines important matters relating to the management of market and liquidity risks, such as basic policies and risk 
limits, in order to manage these risks. The ALM Committee meets four times a year, in principle, to report on the state of market 
and liquidity risk management and to discuss ALM operation policies. The Corporate Risk Management Dept., which is 
independent from the business units that directly handle market transactions, manages market and liquidity risks in an integrated 
manner. This department not only monitors the current risk situations but also reports regularly to the Management Committee 
and the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the ALM Committee at SMBC, the Company’s major consolidated subsidiary, meets on 
a monthly basis to examine reports on the state of observance of limits on market and liquidity risks and to discuss ALM 
operation policies.

In addition, the Internal Audit Dept., which is independent of other departments, periodically performs comprehensive 

internal audits to verify that the risk management framework is properly functioning and reports the audit results to the 
Management Committee, the Board of Directors and other concerned committees and departments.

(b)  Market and liquidity risk management methodology

•  Market risk management

The Company manages market risk by setting maximum loss and VaR (value at risk: maximum potential loss that may be 
incurred to a specific financial instrument for a given probability) within the market risk capital limit, which is set taking into 
account stockholders’ equity and other factors in accordance with the market transaction policies.

The Company uses the historical simulation method (a method for estimating the maximum loss by running simulations 

of changes in profit and loss on market fluctuations scenarios based on historical data) to measure VaR. Regarding banking 
activities (activities for generating profit through management of interest rates, terms, and other aspects such as loans and 
bonds in assets, deposits in liabilities) and trading activities (activities for generating profit by taking advantage of short-term 
fluctuations in market values and differences in value among markets), the Company calculates the maximum loss that may 
occur as a result of market fluctuations in 1 day with a probability of 1% based on 4 years of historical observation. With 
regard to the holding of shares (such as listed shares) for the purpose of strategic investment, the Company calculates the 
maximum loss that may occur as a result of market fluctuations in 1 year with a probability of 1% based on 10 years of 
historical observation.

Regarding risks associated with foreign exchange rates, interest rates, equity risk, option prices and other market risk 
factors, the Company manages such risks by setting a maximum limit on the indicator suited for each market risk factor such 
as BPV (basis point value: denotes the change in value of a financial instrument resulting from a 0.01 percentage-point change 
in the yield).

•  Quantitative information on market risks

As of March 31, 2019, total VaR of SMBC and its major consolidated subsidiaries was ¥44.8 billion for the banking activities, 
¥16.4 billion for the trading activities and ¥1,156.0 billion for the holding of shares (such as listed shares) for the purpose of 
strategic investment.

However, it should be noted that these figures are statistical figures that change according to changes in assumptions and 

calculation methods, and may not cover the risk of future market conditions fluctuating drastically compared to market 
fluctuations of the past.
•  Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk based on the framework of “setting management levels of risk appetite indicators” and 
“developing contingency plans.” Risk appetite indicators are quantitative benchmarks that select the types and indicate the 
levels of risk that the Company is willing to take on or tolerate. As an example, the Company sets a lower limit on the number 
of days over which cash flows could be maintained in the event of stressed conditions such as deposit outflow, so as to secure 
funding sources that do not fall below the benchmark to avoid excessive reliance on short term funding. In addition, the 
Company develops contingency plans consisting of instructions, reporting lines and action plans in case of emergency.

Moreover, to manage the liquidity risk of marketable instruments, derivative transactions, etc., the Company has trading 
limits for each business office classified by currency, instrument, transaction period, etc. As for financial futures, etc., risks are 
managed by restricting positions to within a certain percentage of open interest in the entire market.

(4)  Supplementary explanations about matters concerning fair value of financial instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are based on their market prices and, in cases where market prices are not available, on reasonably 
calculated prices. These prices have been calculated using certain assumptions, and may differ if calculated based on different 
assumptions.

*1 The amounts do not include general reserve for possible loan losses and specific reserve for possible loan losses. The reserves for possible losses on “Cash and due from banks,” 
“Call loans and bills bought,” “Receivables under securities borrowing transactions,” “Monetary claims bought,” “Foreign exchanges” and “Lease receivables and investment 
assets” are deducted directly from consolidated balance sheet amount since they are immaterial.

*2 The amounts collectively represent the derivative transactions which are recorded on “Trading assets,” “Trading liabilities,” “Other assets” and “Other liabilities.” Debts and 

credits arising from derivative transactions are presented on a net basis, with a net debt presented in square brackets.

(2)  Fair value calculation methodology for financial instruments

Assets
1) Cash and due from banks, 2) Call loans and bills bought, 3) Receivables under resale agreements, 4) Receivables under securities 
borrowing transactions, 9) Loans and bills discounted, 10) Foreign exchanges and 11) Lease receivables and investment assets:
Of these transactions, for dues from banks without maturity and overdrafts with no specified repayment dates, the book values are used 
as fair value as they are considered to approximate their fair value.

For short-term transactions with remaining maturity not exceeding 6 months, in principle, the book values are used as fair value as 

they are considered to approximate their fair value.

The fair value of those with a remaining maturity of more than 6 months is, in principle, the present value of future cash flows 
(calculated by discounting estimated future cash flows, taking into account factors such as the borrower’s internal rating and pledged 
collateral, using a rate comprising of a risk-free interest rate and an adjustment). Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company 
calculate the present value by discounting the estimated future cash flows computed based on the contractual interest rate, using a rate 
comprising a risk-free rate and a credit risk premium.

2019/08/16   18:54:03

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsRegarding claims on bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers and potentially bankrupt borrowers, expected losses on 

such claims are calculated based on either the expected recoverable amount from disposal of collateral or guarantees, or the present 
value of expected future cash flows. Since the claims’ balance sheet amounts minus the expected amount of loan losses approximate 
their fair values, such amounts are considered to be their fair values.
5) Monetary claims bought:
The fair values of monetary claims bought, such as subordinated trust beneficiary interests related to securitized housing loans, are 
based on the assessed value of underlying housing loans securitized through the trust scheme minus the assessed value of senior 
beneficial interests, etc. The fair values of other transactions are, in principle, based on prices calculated using methods similar to the 
methods applied to 9) Loans and bills discounted.
6) Trading assets:
The fair values of bonds and other securities held for trading purposes are, in principle, based on their market price at the end of the 
fiscal year.
7) Money held in trust:
The fair values of money held in trust are, in principle, based on the market prices of securities held in trust calculated using methods 
similar to the methods applied to 8) Securities.
8) Securities:
In principle, the fair values of stocks (including foreign stocks) are based on the average market price during 1 month before the end of 
the fiscal year. The fair values of bonds and securities with market prices other than stocks are prices calculated based on their market 
prices as of the end of the fiscal year.

In light of the “Practical Solution on Measurement of Fair Value for Financial Assets” (ASBJ Practical Issue Task Force No. 25), the 
fair values of floating rate government bonds are based on the present value of future cash flows (the government bond yield is used to 
discount and estimate future cash flows). Bond yield and yield volatility are the main price parameters. The fair values of those without 
market prices, such as private placement bonds, are based on the present value of future cash flows calculated by discounting estimated 
future cash flows taking into account the borrower’s internal rating and pledged collateral by a rate comprising a risk-free interest rate 
and an adjustment. 

However, the fair values of bonds, such as private placement bonds issued by bankrupt borrowers, effectively bankrupt borrowers 

and potentially bankrupt borrowers are based on the bond’s book value after the deduction of the expected amount of a loss on the 
bond computed by using the same method applied to the estimation of a loan loss. Meanwhile, the fair values of publicly offered 
investment trusts are calculated based on the published net asset value (NAV) per share, while those of private placement investment 
trusts are calculated based on the NAV published by securities firms and other financial institutions.

Liabilities
1) Deposits, 2) Negotiable certificates of deposit and 12) Due to trust account:
The fair values of demand deposits and deposits without maturity are based on their book values. The fair values of short-term 
transactions with remaining maturity not exceeding 6 months are also based on their book values, as their book values are regarded to 
approximate their market values. 

The fair values of transactions with a remaining maturity of more than 6 months are, in principle, based on the present value of 
estimated future cash flows calculated using the rate applied to the same type of deposits that are newly accepted until the end of the 
remaining maturity.

The fair values of borrowings from the trust account related to covered bond issued by the trust account are based on the amount 

calculated in accordance with the price quoted on securities exchange.
3) Call money and bills sold, 4) Payables under repurchase agreements, 5) Payables under securities lending transactions, 6) 
Commercial paper, 8) Borrowed money, 10) Short-term bonds and 11) Bonds:
The fair values of short-term transactions with remaining maturity not exceeding 6 months are based on their book values, as their 
book values are considered to approximate their fair values. For transactions with a remaining maturity of more than 6 months, fair 
values are, in principle, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted by using the refinancing rate applicable to 
the same type of instruments in the market for the remaining maturity. For certain type of instruments, however, fair values are based 
on either the amount calculated in accordance with the price quoted by industry associations, etc., or the present value of future cash 
flows calculated by using the rate derived from the published yield data, etc.
7) Trading liabilities:
The fair values of bonds sold for short sales and other securities for trading purposes are, in principle, based on their market prices as of 
the end of the fiscal year.
9) Foreign exchanges:
The fair values of foreign currency-denominated deposits without maturity received from other banks are based on their book values.
The fair values of foreign exchange related short-term borrowings are based on their book values, as their book values are regarded 

to approximate their fair values.

2019/08/16   18:54:03

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsDerivatives transactions
The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives are based on their closing prices. With regard to OTC transactions, the fair values of 
interest rate, currency, stock, bond and credit derivatives are based on their prices calculated based on the present value of the future 
cash flows, option valuation models, etc. The fair values of commodity derivatives transactions are based on their prices calculated 
based on the derivative instrument’s components, including price and contract term.

(3)  Consolidated balance sheet amount of financial instruments whose fair values are extremely difficult to determine are as follows:

*2 They are capital contributions with no market prices. The above-stated amount includes the book value amount of investments in the partnership of which the Company 

records net changes in their balance sheets and statements of income.

Fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
There are no significant corresponding transactions to be disclosed.

7.  Write-down of securities
Bonds classified as held-to-maturity and other securities (excluding securities whose fair values are extremely difficult to determine) are 
considered as impaired if the fair value decreases materially below the acquisition cost and such decline is not considered as recoverable. The fair 
value is recognized as the consolidated balance sheet amount and the amount of write-down is accounted for as valuation loss for the fiscal year. 
Valuation losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 were ¥3,331 million and ¥9,013 million, respectively. The rule for 
determining “material decline” is as follows and is based on the classification of issuers under the rules of self-assessment of assets.

Bankrupt/Effectively bankrupt/Potentially bankrupt issuers:

Fair value is lower than acquisition cost.

Issuers requiring caution:

Normal issuers:

Fair value is 30% or lower than acquisition cost.

Fair value is 50% or lower than acquisition cost.

Bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are legally bankrupt or formally declared bankrupt.

Effectively bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are not legally bankrupt but regarded as substantially bankrupt.

Potentially bankrupt issuers: Issuers that are not bankrupt now, but are perceived to have a high risk of falling into bankruptcy.

Issuers requiring caution: Issuers that are identified for close monitoring.

Normal issuers: Issuers other than the above 4 categories of issuers.

(Notes to employee retirement benefits)
1.  Outline of employee retirement benefits
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries have funded and unfunded contributory defined benefit pension plans and defined-contribution 
pension plans for benefit payments to their employees.

Funded contributory defined benefit pension plans mainly consist of contributory funded defined benefit pension plans and lump-sum 

severance indemnity plans which set up employee retirement benefit trusts.

Unfunded contributory defined benefit pension plans are lump-sum severance indemnity plans which do not use such trust scheme.
Some consolidated subsidiaries adopt the simplified method in calculating the projected benefit obligation. Additional benefits may also be 

granted when employees retire.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsIndependent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.  
(“the Company”) and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2019 and 2018, 
and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in net assets and cash flows for the years 
then ended, and basis of presentation, significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal control as management 
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We 
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require  
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 

consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of the 
risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making 
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while 
the objective of the financial statement audit is not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the 
consolidated financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 

opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
the Company and subsidiaries as at March 31, 2019 and 2018, and their financial performance and cash flows for the 
years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Convenience Translation

The U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the year ended March 
31, 2019 are presented solely for convenience. Our audit also included the translation of yen amounts into U.S.  
dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made on the basis described in basis of presentation.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III Information

Capital Ratio Information (Consolidated)
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

The consolidated capital ratio is calculated using the method stipulated in “Standards for Bank Holding Company to Examine the Adequacy of 
Its Capital Based on Assets, Etc. Held by It and Its Subsidiaries Pursuant to Article 52-25 of the Banking Act” (Notification No. 20 issued by 
the Japanese Financial Services Agency in 2006; hereinafter referred to as “the Notification”).
In addition to the method stipulated in the Notification to calculate the consolidated capital ratio (referred to as “International Standard” in the 
Notification), we have adopted the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based (AIRB) approach for calculating credit risk-weighted asset amounts and 
the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for calculating the operational risk equivalent amount.
“Consolidated Capital Ratio Information” was prepared principally based on the Notification, and the terms and details in the section may 
differ from those in other sections of this report.

■ Scope of Consolidation
1. Consolidated Capital Ratio Calculation

• Number of consolidated subsidiaries: 173
  Please refer to “Principal Subsidiaries and Affiliates” on page 140 for their names and business outline.
• Scope of consolidated subsidiaries for calculation of the consolidated capital ratio is based on the scope of consolidated subsidiaries for
  preparing consolidated financial statements.
• There are no affiliates to which the proportionate consolidation method is applied.

2.  Restrictions on Movement of Funds and Capital within Holding Company Group
  There are no special restrictions on movement of funds and capital among us and its group companies.

3.  Names of companies among subsidiaries of bank-holding companies (other financial institutions), with the Basel Capital Accord 

required amount, and total shortfall amount

  Not applicable.

■ Capital Structure Information (Consolidated Capital Ratio (International Standard))
Regarding the calculation of the capital ratio of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, an external audit was performed by KPMG AZSA LLC 
pursuant to the Technical Practical Guidelines 4465 “Practical Guidelines on Agreed-Upon Procedures for the Capital Ratio Calculation 
Framework.”
The aforementioned external audit was not meant to provide a statement of opinions or conclusions on the capital ratio itself or our internal 
control framework for calculating the capital ratio, but to present us a report on the results of the procedure performed within the scope agreed 
upon between the external auditor and us. It constitutes neither part of the audit of consolidated financial statements nor part of the audit of 
our internal control over financial reporting.

■ Credit Quality of Assets
1. Overview of Criteria for Accounting Provisions and Write-Offs

(1) Policies and Methods of Provisions and Write-Offs

For  “Policies  and  Methods  of  Provisions  and  Write-Offs,”  please  refer  to  pages  112  to  116  (Risk  Management  -  3.  Credit  Risk 
Management Methods - (1) Credit Risk Assessment and Quantification, (4) Self-Assessment, Write-Offs and Provisions, Non-Performing 
Loans Disclosure).

(2)  Extent of the Number of Delinquency Days of “Past Due Loans of Three Months or More” that are Allowed Not to Classify Their Loan 
Category as “Doubtful Assets” or Below (or Not to Judge as Loans to Parties Classified as Potentially Bankrupt Borrowers or Below) and 
Reasons Thereof
At SMBC, as a core bank of SMBC Group, the delinquency period of past due loans of three months or more that are allowed not to 
classify loans as doubtful assets or below (or not to judge as loans to parties classified as potentially bankrupt borrowers or below) is 
generally less than six months, and they are loans to parties that are expected to improve business conditions. If there are any past due 
loans of six months or more, they shall be in principle classified as loans to potentially bankrupt borrowers or below.

(3) Definition of Loans Whose Loan Terms and Conditions were Restructured 

At SMBC, as a core bank of SMBC Group, loans whose loan terms and conditions were restructured are defined as loans with interest rate 
reduction, deferred payment of interest, deferred repayment of principal amount, abandonment of loans, or other arrangements that are 
advantageous for the obligors, for the purpose of business rehabilitation or support for the obligors. Obligors with loans whose loan 
terms  and  conditions  were  restructured  may  not  be  classified  as  doubtful  assets  or  below  depending  on  the  outlook  for  business 
conditions, financial statements and loan terms and conditions. If the borrower category deteriorates due to restructuring of loan terms 
and conditions, provisions will increase.

(4) Key Differences in Parameters of Credit Risks Used to Calculate Provisions and Capital Ratio, Respectively

SMBC, as a core bank of SMBC Group, uses Probability of Default and loan-loss ratio as parameters for calculation of provisions.
Probability of Default is calculated based on the actual performance in the past of the deterioration rate for one year from each borrower 
category  to  potentially  bankrupt  borrowers  or  below  (regarding  the  deterioration  rate  to  potentially  bankrupt  borrowers,  the 
deterioration  transition  rates  equivalent  to  three  accumulated  years  from  potentially  bankrupt  borrowers  to  effectively  bankrupt 
borrowers or below are included). For the PD used to calculate the capital ratio, deterioration to substandard borrowers or below is 
defined as default, and assuming a long-term average value of the default rate, conservative estimation for some portfolios is conducted, 
which is the major difference from the Probability of Default used to calculate provisions.
Loan-loss ratio is calculated using the loan-loss amount including direct write-offs and indirect write-offs incurred during the year for 
each borrower category to the amount of initial existing exposure by borrower category.
For details of parameters used to calculate the capital ratio, please refer to pages 254 to 255 “3. Overview of Internal Rating System (2) 
Parameter Estimation and Its Validation System.”

■ Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) Approach
1. Background on Determining the Scope of Application of Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) Approach

When the criteria of materiality defined by us according to business characteristics and business conditions, etc. are met, in principle, the 
IRB approach is adopted by the unit of our asset class or by the unit of the affiliated group companies. In addition, for the asset class or 
group companies that meet the quantitative criteria specified by the authorities, the IRB approach is in principle adopted regardless of 
whether the criteria of materiality are met.

For adopting the IRB approach, the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based (AIRB) approach is in principle adopted. However, for group 
companies which were judged unnecessary or inappropriate to adopt the AIRB approach in light of the scale, business contents, etc., the 
Foundation Internal Ratings-Based (FIRB) approach is adopted.

2. Scope

We and the following consolidated subsidiaries have adopted the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based (AIRB) approach for exposures as of 
March 31, 2009.

(1) Domestic Operations

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company, Limited and SMBC Guarantee Co., Ltd., Cedyna Financial 
Corporation, SMBC Trust Bank Ltd.

(2) Overseas Operations

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Europe Limited, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (China) Limited, Banco Sumitomo 
Mitsui Brasileiro S.A., JSC Sumitomo Mitsui Rus Bank, PT Bank Sumitomo Mitsui Indonesia, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation 
Malaysia Berhad, SMBC Leasing and Finance, Inc., SMBC Capital Markets, Inc., SMBC Nikko Capital Markets Limited, SMBC 
Derivative Products Limited and SMBC Capital Markets (Asia) Limited, SMBC Bank EU AG and PT Bank BTPN Tbk.

SMBC Finance Service Co., Ltd. has adopted the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based (FIRB) approach.

Note: Directly controlled SPCs and limited partnerships for investment of consolidated subsidiaries using the AIRB approach have also adopted the AIRB approach. Further, the

AIRB approach is applied to equity exposures on a group basis, including equity exposures of consolidated subsidiaries applying the standardised approach.

3. Overview of Internal Rating System

(1) Rating Procedures

(A) Corporate Exposures

• “Corporate, sovereign and bank exposures” includes credits to domestic and overseas commercial/industrial (C&I) companies, 

individuals for business purposes (domestic only), sovereigns, public sector entities, and financial institutions. Business loans such 
as apartment construction loans are, in principle, included in “retail exposures.” However, credits of more than ¥100 million are 
treated as corporate exposures in accordance with the Notification.

• An obligor is assigned an obligor grade by first assigning a financial grade using a financial strength grading model and data 

obtained from the obligor’s financial statements. The financial grade is then adjusted taking into account the actual state of the 
obligor’s balance sheet and qualitative factors to derive the obligor grade (for details, please refer to “Credit Risk Assessment  
and Quantification” on pages 112 to 113). Different rating series are used for domestic and overseas obligors — J1 ~ J10 for 
domestic obligors and G1 ~ G10 for overseas obligors — as shown in the table following page due to differences in actual default 
rate levels and portfolios’ grade distribution. Different Probability of Default (PD) values are applied also.

• In addition to the above basic rating procedure which builds on the financial grade assigned at the beginning, in some cases, the 

obligor grade is assigned based on the parent company’s credit quality or credit ratings published by external rating agencies. The 
Japanese government, local authorities and other public sector entities with special basis for existence and unconventional financial 
statements are assigned obligor grades based on their attributes (for example, “local municipal corporations”), as the data on these 
obligors are not suitable for conventional grading models. Further, credits to individuals for business purposes and business loans 
are assigned obligor grades using grading models developed specifically for these exposures.

• PDs used for calculating credit risk-weighted assets are estimated based on the default experience for each grade and taking into 
account the possibility of estimation errors. In addition to internal data, external data are used to estimate and validate PDs. The 
definition of default is the definition stipulated in the Notification (an event that would lead to an exposure being classified as 
“substandard loans,” “doubtful assets” or “bankrupt and quasi-bankrupt assets” occurring to the obligor).

• Loss Given Defaults (LGDs) and exposure at default (EAD) used in the calculation of credit risk-weighted assets are estimated 

based on historical loss experience of credits in default, taking into account the possibility of estimation errors.

• “Specialized lending” is sub-classified into “project finance,” “object finance,” “commodity finance,” “income-producing real  
estate” (IPRE) and “high-volatility commercial real estate” (HVCRE) in accordance with the Notification. Project finance is 
financing of a single project, such as a power plant or transportation infrastructure, and cash flows generated by the project are the 
primary source of repayment. Object finance includes aircraft finance and ship finance, and IPRE and HVCRE include real estate 
finance (a primary example is non-recourse real estate finance). There were no commodity finance exposures as of March 31, 2019.
• Each SL product is classified as either a facility assigned a PD grade and LGD grade or a facility assigned a grade based primarily 
on the expected loss ratio, both using grading models and qualitative assessment. The former has the same grading structure as 
that of corporate, and the latter has ten grade levels as with obligor grades but the definition of each grade differs from that of the 
obligor grade which is focused on PD.

For the credit risk-weighted asset amount for the SL category, the former facility is calculated in a manner similar to corporate 

exposures, while the latter facility is calculated by mapping the expected loss-based facility grades to the five categories 
(hereinafter the “slotting criteria”) of the Notification because it does not satisfy the requirements for PD application specified in 
the Notification.

(B) Retail Exposures

• “Residential mortgage exposures” includes mortgage loans to individuals and some real estate loans in which the property consists 
of both residential and commercial facilities such as a store or rental apartment units, but excludes apartment construction loans.

• Mortgage loans are rated as follows.
  Mortgage loans are allocated to a portfolio segment with similar risk characteristics in terms of default risk determined using loan 
contract information, results of an exclusive grading model and a borrower category under self-assessment executed in accordance 
with the financial inspection manual of the Japanese FSA, and recovery risk at the time of default determined using Loan To Value 
(LTV) calculated based on the assessment value of collateral real estate. PDs and LGDs are estimated based on the default 
experience for each segment and taking into account the possibility of estimation errors.

Further, the portfolio is subdivided based on the lapse of years from the contract date, and the effectiveness of segmentation in 

terms of default risk and recovery risk is validated periodically.

Internal data are used to estimate and validate PDs and LGDs. The definition of default is the definition stipulated in the 

Notification.

• “Qualifying revolving retail exposures” includes card loans and credit card balances.
• Card loans and credit card balances are rated as follows.
  Card loans and credit card balances are allocated to a portfolio segment with similar risk characteristics determined based, for card 
loans, on the credit quality of the loan guarantee company, credit limit, settlement account balance and payment history, and, for 
credit card balances, on repayment history and frequency of use.

PDs and LGDs used to calculate credit risk-weighted asset amounts are estimated based on the default experience for each 

segment and taking into account the possibility of estimation errors.

Further, the effectiveness of segmentation in terms of default risk and recovery risk is validated periodically.
Internal data are used to estimate and validate PDs and LGDs. The definition of default is the definition stipulated in the 

Notification.

• “Other retail exposures” includes business loans such as apartment construction loans and consumer loans such as My Car Loan.
• Business loans and consumer loans are rated as follows.
  a.  Business loans are allocated to a portfolio segment with similar risk characteristics in terms of default risk determined using 
loan contract information, results of exclusive grading model and borrower category under self-assessment executed in 
accordance with the financial inspection manual of the Japanese FSA, and recovery risk determined based on LTV for business 
loans.
   PDs and LGDs are estimated based on the default experience for each segment and taking into account the possibility of 
estimation errors.

  b.  Rating procedures for consumer loans depends on whether the loan is collateralized. Collateralized consumer loans are allocated 
to a portfolio segment using the same standards as for mortgage loans of “Residential Mortgage Exposures.” Uncollateralized 
consumer loans are allocated to a portfolio segment based on account history. PDs and LGDs are estimated based on the default 
experience for each segment and taking into account the possibility of estimation errors. 

Further, the effectiveness of segmentation in terms of default risk and recovery risk is validated periodically. 

  Internal data are used to estimate and validate PDs and LGDs. The definition of default is the definition stipulated in the 
Notification.

(C) Equity Exposures

When acquiring equities subject to the PD/LGD approach, issuers are assigned obligor grades using the same rules as those of 
general credits to C&I companies, sovereigns and financial institutions. The obligors are monitored (for details, please refer to page 
114) and their grades are revised if necessary (credit risk-weighted asset amount is set to 1.5 times when they are not monitored 
individually). In the case there is no credit transaction with the issuer or it is difficult to obtain financial information, internal  
grades are assigned using ratings of external rating agencies if it is a qualifying investment.

In the case it is difficult to obtain financial information and it is not a qualifying investment, the simple risk weight method 

under the market-based approach is applied.

(2) Parameter Estimation and Its Validation System

A. PD

This is defined as the probability that obligors could default over one year. PD is estimated as the expected value in the long term 
regardless of the business cycle using the default rate for each fiscal year based on the historical data for five consecutive fiscal years or 
more. In principle, the default rate for each fiscal year is measured by the initial number of target obligors as the numerator and the 
number of defaults occurred during the fiscal year as the denominator. 
For assets, ratings, and portfolios applicable to LDP (LDP: Low Default Portfolio),  conservative PD is estimated by creating virtual 
rating transition data based on Monte Carlo simulation and by using the floor value proposed under Basel regulation. 

The actual default rates in the past three periods are lower than PD estimate values applied for the respective periods, because the 
long-term average value including the recession period is estimated, and also because the possibility of estimation errors is taken into 
account. 

Validation consists of two systems: “backtesting” to retrospectively compare and validate the parameter estimated value and the 

actual value for the respective applicable period, and “pretesting” to validate before applying the parameter for the purpose of 
complementing the “backtesting.” The overview for each is as follows.

(a) Backtesting

This is to compare the parameter estimated value with the actual value at least once a year, and to validate that the degree of 
divergence is within the statistically assumed range.

In case of hitting the predetermined excess criteria as a result of validation, reviews shall be taken including revising the 

estimation method or rating system.

(b) Pretesting

This is to compare and validate the estimated value to be applied and the historical value. In the case of hitting the predetermined 
excess criteria, the estimated value shall be conservatively corrected.

The purpose is to prevent underestimation by making adjustments, if necessary.

B. LGD

This is defined as the ratio of loss amounts after default to the amount of receivable at the time of default. LGD is estimated as a long-
term average value calculated based on historical data over seven consecutive fiscal years (for retail, five fiscal years) or more. However, 
in the case where a high positive correlation with the default rate is observed, LGD shall be in principle the value taking into account 
the possibility that the loss rate of the recession period will exceed the long-term average value, and it is estimated mainly by one of 
the following methods.
•  By taking into account the influence of the recession period on the interest rate to customers constituting the discount rate for 

calculating the economic loss to be used for estimation

•  By taking into account the influence of the recession period by modeling the relationship between the loss ratio and economic and 

financial indicators, etc. 

For the purpose of estimating LGD using economic loss based on Basel requirement,  discount rate is estimated with using recovery 
cost. The averaged period from the time of default and the termination of recovery is used as discount period.
As for validation, backtesting and pretesting are conducted as in the A. PD.

C. EAD

This is defined as the amount of exposure at the time of default. EAD is estimated as a long-term average value calculated based on 
the historical data over seven consecutive fiscal years (for retail, five fiscal years) or more. For estimation, the possibility that the 
default balance may exceed the latest balance is assumed and taken into account, and is estimated by one of the following methods.
•  By estimating the conversion factor that is the ratio of actually drawn amount to the amount associated with undrawn commitments 

one year before the time of default

•  By estimating the conversion factor that is the ratio of the average outstandings of the default borrowers to the average outstandings 

of the non-default borrowers of the whole limit-type credit subject to the estimation

•  By estimating an increased amount by comparing the initial outstandings with ones at the time of default and taking the average 

for each segment

As for validation, backtesting and pretesting are conducted as in the A. PD.

Notes: 1.

IRB model presented in this table covers all models used within the scope of regulatory consolidation.

2. Applicable portfolios of each IRB model take into account the portfolio classification under Basel Capital Accord. “Corporates” include “Sovereign,” “Financial entities,” 

“Specialized lending,” “Equity (PD/LGD method)” and “Purchased receivables (corporates),” and “Residential mortgage” and “Other retail” include “Purchased receivables 
(retail).” Therefore, the same classifications are used in this table.

3. A maximum of ten categories of obligor rating in the internal rating system are consolidated into five categories as PD categories.
4. For the external ratings associated with, external ratings equivalent to the PD of non-Japanese companies mainly are listed in the columns of S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch, and 

external ratings equivalent to the PD of Japanese companies mainly are listed in the columns of R&I and JCR.

5. The number of obligors of “Qualifying revolving retail,” “Residential mortgage” and “Other retail” states the number of receivables.
6. The proportion of credit risk-weighted assets subject to the IRB approach is that “Corporates” accounts for 84.53 percent, “Qualifying revolving retail” accounts for 4.15 

percent, “Residential mortgage” accounts for 5.81 percent, and “Other retail” accounts for 3.97 percent.

10. Credit Risk-Weighted Assets under Article 145 of the Notification

Exposures under Article 145 of the Notification include investments to funds. In the case of such exposures, in principle, each underlying 
asset of the fund is assigned an obligor grade to calculate the asset’s credit risk-weighted asset amount and the amounts are totaled to derive 
the credit risk-weighted asset amount of the fund. When it is difficult to calculate the credit risk-weighted asset amount of individual 
underlying assets, the credit risk-weighted average of individual underlying assets is calculated, where risk weight of 250%/ 400% is 
applied if the result of such calculation proved to be 250%/400% or less, while 1,250% is applied otherwise.

■ Standardised Approach
1. Scope

The following consolidated subsidiaries have adopted the standardised approach for exposures as of March 31, 2019 (i.e. consolidated
subsidiaries not listed in the “Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) Approach: 1. Scope” on page 252).

(1) Consolidated Subsidiaries Planning to Adopt Phased Rollout of the AIRB Approach

SMBC Consumer Finance Co., Ltd.

(2) Consolidated Subsidiaries Planning to Adopt Phased Rollout of the FIRB Approach

Currently, there are no subsidiaries applicable.

(3) Other Consolidated Subsidiaries

These are consolidated subsidiaries judged not to be significant in terms of credit risk management based on the type of business, scale, 
and other factors. These subsidiaries will adopt the standardised approach on a permanent basis.

2. Credit Risk-Weighted Asset Calculation Methodology

A 100% risk weight is applied to claims on corporates in accordance with Article 45 of the Notification, and risk weights corresponding to
country risk scores published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are applied to claims on sovereigns
and financial institutions.

Note:  As the sum of the respective risk weight of the original obligor and the original obligee are applied for the risk weight for loan participation transactions by a bank adopting the 

SA, the credit RWA amount calculated by summing up the exposure amount multiplied by the corresponding risk weights in the above table does not match with the credit 
RWA amount shown in column e of CR4 (SA-CR exposure and CRM effects).

■ Credit Risk Mitigation (CRM) Techniques
1. Overview of Risk Characteristics, Risk Management Policy, Risk Management Procedures and Risk Management System 

In calculating credit risk-weighted asset amounts, We take into account credit risk mitigation (CRM) techniques. Specifically, amounts are 
adjusted for eligible financial or real estate collateral, guarantees, and credit derivatives. The methods and scope of these adjustments and 
methods of management are as follows.

(1) Scope and Management

A. Collateral (Eligible Financial or Real Estate Collateral)

SMBC designates deposits and securities as eligible financial collateral, and land and buildings as eligible real estate collateral.

Real estate collateral is evaluated by taking into account its fair value, appraisal value, and current condition, as well as our lien 
position. Real estate collateral must maintain sufficient collateral value in the event security rights must be exercised due to delinquency.  
However, during the period from acquiring the rights to exercising the rights, the property may deteriorate or suffer damage from 
earthquakes or other natural disasters, or there may be changes in the lien position due to, for example, attachment or establishment of 
liens by a third party. Therefore, the regular monitoring of collateral is implemented according to the type of property and the type of 
security interest.

B. Guarantees and Credit Derivatives

Guarantors are sovereigns, municipal corporations, credit guarantee corporations and other public entities, financial institutions, and 
C&I companies. Counterparties to credit derivative transactions are mostly domestic and overseas banks and securities companies.

Credit risk-weighted asset amounts are calculated taking into account credit risk mitigation of guarantees and credit derivatives 
acquired from entities with sufficient ability to provide protection such as sovereigns, municipal corporations and other public sector 
entities of comparable credit quality, and financial institutions and C&I companies with sufficient credit ratings.

(2) Concentration of Credit Risk and Market Risk under Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques

There is a framework in place for controlling concentration of risk in obligors with large exposures which includes large exposure limit 
lines, risk concentration monitoring, and reporting to the Credit Risk Committee (please refer to pages 93 to 98). Further, exposures 
to these obligors are monitored on a group basis, taking into account risk concentration in their parent companies in cases that expo-
sures to the obligors are guaranteed by the parent companies for risk mitigation.

In addition, when marketable financial products (for example, credit derivatives) are used as credit risk mitigants, market risk 

generated by these products is controlled by setting upper limits.

As credit risk mitigation techniques, eligible real estate collateral and guarantees have shown a certain effect.

■ Counterparty Credit Risk
1. Overview of Risk Characteristics

Counterparty credit risk is actualized when counterparties become default in a condition where derivative transactions, etc. have a positive 
value, and risks fluctuate according to the credit quality of counterparties and related market indicators.

2. Risk Management Policy and Procedures

(1) Risk Management Policy

For counterparty credit risks, credit limits are set according to the frameworks of credit management in each SMBC Group company. For 
transactions with CCP, credit risks are managed after validating the financial base and the default management process, etc.

(2) Policy on Collateral Security and Impact of Deterioration of Our Credit Quality

Collateralized derivative is a CRM technique in which collateral is delivered or received regularly in accordance with replacement cost.
The Group conducts collateralized derivative transactions as necessary, thereby reducing credit risk. In the event our credit quality
deteriorates, however, the counterparty may demand additional collateral, but its impact is deemed to be insignificant.

(3) Netting

Netting is another CRM technique, and “close-out netting” is the main type of netting. In close-out netting, when a default event, such
as bankruptcy, occurs to the counterparty, all claims against, and obligations to, the counterparty, regardless of maturity and currency,
are netted out to create a single claim or obligation. Close-out netting is applied to foreign exchange and swap transactions covered
under a master agreement with a net-out clause or other means of securing legal effectiveness, and the effect of CRM is taken into
account only for such claims and obligations.

■ Securitisation Transactions
1. Overview of Risk Characteristics

Securitisation exposures have, in addition to credit risk and market risk, the following intrinsic risks, which are properly managed based on 
the nature of each risk.
(1) Dilution Risk

Means the risk of a decrease in purchased receivables due to cancellation or termination of the original contract for the purchased receiv-
ables, or netting of debts between the original obligor and the original obligee.

(2) Servicer Risk

A. Commingling Risk

Means the risk of uncollectible funds, which should be collected from the underlying assets, due to the bankruptcy of the servicer 
before the delivery of the funds collected from the obligor of the receivables.

B. Performance Risk

Means the risk of difficulty in maintenance and collection due to the servicer’s failure to properly and accurately perform its clerical 
duties and procedures.

(3) Liquidity Risk

Means the risk that cash flows related to the underlying assets may be insufficient for paying the principal and interest of the securitisa-
tion exposure due to a timing mismatch between the securitisation conduit’s receipt of the cash flows related to the underlying assets and 
payment of the securitisation exposure of the principal and interest, etc.

(4) Fraud Risk

Means the risk of a decrease in or complete loss of the receivables subject to collection due to a fraud, prejudicial or other malicious act by 
a customer or a third-party obligor.

2. Overview of Risk Management Policy and Procedures

Definition of securitisation exposure has been clarified in order to properly identify, measure, evaluate and report risks, and a risk management 
department, independent of business units, has been established to centrally manage risks from recognizing securitisation exposures to 
measuring, evaluating and reporting risks.

Securitisation transactions are subject to the following policies.

• Undertake those which allow separate assessment of underlying short-term assets by making credit decisions on individual underlying 

assets.

• Undertake those which cover short-term receivables, etc., by creating a framework mainly to estimate the default rate of the underlying 

assets based on the historical loan-loss ratio and ensure that they have sufficient subordination.

• Undertake others such as those requiring special management by implementing additional management, such as an analysis of the market 
environment. Particularly, with respect to securitisation transactions backed by retail loans whose creditworthiness is relatively inferior, 
such as subprime loans in the U.S., the Group deals only with transactions that are sufficiently structured by taking into account not only 
the above policies, but others such as the underlying asset selection criteria of the originator and the average life. 
The Group shall basically not conduct resecuritisation transactions. 
Its policy is to conduct securitisation transactions by verifying effectiveness in mitigating credit risk through the use of the asset transfer 

type or synthetic type securitisation transactions covering domestic and foreign exposures and using them as underlying exposures if 
securitisation transactions are used as an approach for credit risk mitigation. 

The Group takes one of the following positions for securitisation transactions.

• Originator (a direct or indirect originator of underlying assets or a sponsor of an ABCP conduit or a similar program that acquires 

exposures from third-party entities)

• Investor
• Others (for example, provider of swap for preventing a mismatch between the dividend on trust beneficiary rights and cash flows  

generated by underlying assets on which the rights are issued)

as well as Names of Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies of us Which Hold Securitisation Exposures Related to Securitisation 
Transactions Conducted by us and we Engage in the Management of the Company or Provides Advice
In order to undertake securitisation transactions related to third-party assets, the Group mainly uses a special purpose company (SPC) as a 
securitisation conduit.
• Manhattan Asset Funding Company LLC
• Chelsea Capital Corporation
• Forest Corporation
• Spur Funding Corporation
• Deccan Funding GK
• Taeguk Funding Designated Activity Company

Excluding consolidated subsidiaries, subsidiaries or affiliated companies holding securitisation exposures related to the security transactions 
conducted by the Holding Company Group are as follows:
• THE MINATO BANK, LTD.

4.  Name of Securitisation Conduit that Provides Non-Contractual Credit Enhancement, etc. and Impacts on Capital by Such Non-

Contractual Credit Enhancement, etc. for Each Securitisation Conduit
Not applicable.

5. Accounting Policy on Securitisation Transactions

The recognition of the generation and extinguishment of financial assets and financial liabilities associated with securitisation transactions 
and the valuation and accounting treatment thereof are mainly governed by the “Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments” (ASBJ 
Statement No. 10).

6. Names of Qualifying External Ratings Agencies

In order to apply the rating-based approach under the IRB approach or standardised approach or to calculate an amount of market risk asso-
ciated with specific risk, the risk weights are determined by mapping the ratings of qualifying rating agencies to the risk weights stipulated 
in the Notification. The qualifying rating agencies are Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. 
(JCR), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), S&P Global Ratings (S&P), and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (Fitch).

When more than one rating is available for an exposure, the second smallest risk weight is used, in accordance with the Notification.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III Information 
■ Equity Exposures
1. Overview of Risk Management Policy and Procedures

Securities in the banking book are properly managed, for example, by setting upper limits on the allowable amount of risk under the market 
or credit risk management framework selected according to their holding purpose and risk characteristics.

For securities held as “available-for-sale securities,” the upper limits are also set in terms of price fluctuation risk and default risk.
Regarding stocks of subsidiaries, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are risk-managed on a consolidated basis. As for stocks of affiliates, 
risks related to gains and losses from investments are recognized separately. As in each case maximum allowable amount of risk is managed 
individually, risks as stocks are not measured.

The limits are established within the “risk capital limit” of SMBC group, taking into account the financial and business situations of the 

subsidiaries and affiliates.

2. Valuation of Securities and Other Significant Accounting Policies

Stocks of non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not accounted for by the equity method are carried at amortized cost using the moving-
average method. Available-for-sale securities with market prices (including foreign stocks) are carried at their average market prices during 
the final month of the fiscal year. Securities other than these securities are carried at their market prices at the end of the fiscal year under 
review (cost of securities sold is calculated using primarily the moving-average method), and those with no available market prices are 
carried at cost using the moving-average method. 

Net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities and net of income taxes are reported as a component of “net assets.”

Note: The VaR and the stressed VaR are calculated using the historical simulation method. Specifically, they are calculated on a daily basis, assuming a one-sided confidence level of 

99.0% and a one-day holding period, based on profit and loss simulation on a scenario-specific basis generated from historical data (the full valuation method, in principle), and 
they are adjusted to a 10-day holding period using the square root of time method. Under this method, the VaR and the stressed VaR use observation periods of four years 
immediately preceding, and 12 months including the stress period, respectively.

5. Backtesting results by the internal models approach (MR4)

The status of backtesting of trading for Fiscal 2018 and 2017 is as follows. “Daily gain/loss” represents the actual gain/loss incurred, and 
“Daily VaR” represents the daily VaR calculated using the risk measurement model with a one-day holding period. In the past 250 business 
days, the number of times loss exceeded VaR was 0, and the VaR model (one-sided confidence level of 99.0%) is considered to have sufficient 
accuracy.

■ Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book
1. Overview of Risk Management Policy and Procedures

Interest rate risk in the banking book is the risk to the present value of a bank’s assets and liabilities and/or the future earnings (interest 
income) from the rate-sensitive instruments when interest rates change. SMBC Group recognizes interest rate risk as a significant risk and 
manages it in an integrated manner, together with other market risks (equity position risk, etc.) (For details, please refer to pages 116 to 
117).
Interest rate risk management is conducted using basis point value (BPV) as a measure of the risk, which denotes the change of present value 
given a basis point rise in the interest rate. Appropriate limits on BPVs are set for each significant subsidiary including SMBC according to 
its capital and business plan, and BPVs are monitored daily for risk management. BPVs are managed not only by changing the balance and 
term structures of assets and liabilities, but also by using hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps and futures.

2. Calculation Method of Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk in the banking book is measured based on the future cash flows of the bank’s assets and liabilities. Especially, the method of 
recognizing the dates for maturity of demand deposits (current accounts and ordinary deposit accounts that can be withdrawn at any time) 
and the method of estimating the time of cancellation prior to maturity of time deposits and mortgage loans affect the risk significantly. Key 
assumptions for measuring interest rate risk of such instruments are as follows.

Method of recognizing the maturity of demand deposits
The amount of the bank’s core deposits is identified as the amount of demand deposits expected to be left with the bank after 5 years (with 
50% of the lowest balance during the past 5 years as the upper limit). The maturity of the core deposits is regarded to be 5 years (2.5 years 
on average). The maturity of the bank’s demand deposits are recognized with 5 years as the maximum term (the average is 0.7 year).

Method of estimating the time of cancellation prior to maturity of time deposits and mortgage loans
Cash flows of mortgage loans tend to be different from the initial scheduled ones, as customers may exercise their prepayment options to 
redeem early in a bonus month or as time passes. Similarly, fixed-term deposits may be canceled prior to maturity. For such instruments, 
interest rate risk is managed by using statistical models to estimate cash flows for each instrument, considering the seasonality, elapsed years, 
interest rate levels at the effective time, etc. These models are validated and reviewed regularly.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III Information3. Interest Rate Risk

Table IRRBB1 shows changes in economic value of equity (ΔEVE) and net interest income (ΔNII) in the banking book, simulated based on 
a set of prescribed interest rate shock scenarios. 
As stipulated under the Pillar 2 of Basel Framework (Supervisory Review Process), in order to identify banks that may have taken too large 
interest rate risk, the Japan FSA applies “materiality test” as comparing the bank’s ΔEVE with 15% of its Tier 1 capital, under a set of 
prescribed interest rate shock scenarios. The measurement result of SMBC Group’s ΔEVE shows that the economic value of equity declines 
when interest rates rise and the maximum change amount is under the prescribed parallel shock up scenario. SMBC Groups’ ΔEVE is not 
larger than 15% of our Tier 1 capital.
As for ΔNII, net interest income declines under the prescribed parallel shock down scenario and increased under the parallel shock up 
scenario. Due to the assumption of zero floor on the interest rate of customer’s deposits in JPY, which limits reduction of the funding cost 
when interest rate down, the change amount is larger under the parallel shock down scenario.
The measurement scope, the definition of each figure and the calculation assumption are as follows.

Scope
The consolidated subsidiaries of SMBC
•  ΔEVE is calculated by simple aggregation of the decrease in economic value for all currencies.  
•  ΔNII is calculated by simple aggregation of the change amount of interest income for each currency in which the total amount of interest 

rate-sensitive assets and liabilities is 5% or more of the total.

Definition of Each Figure and Calculation Assumption 
• ΔEVE

Decrease in economic value (EVE, Economic Value on Equity) against interest rate shock (excluding the credit spread). 

• ΔNII

Decrease in 1 year interest income (NII, Net Interest Income) under each the interest rate shock. It is calculated under the constant balance 
sheet, which means that the balance sheet does not change through a year. In each simulation, we do not allow negative interest rate for 
domestic yen deposits and loans in any scenario.

Notes: 1. Transactions in the trading book including derivative transactions extend over multiple risk categories, since they are subject to both market risks and counterparty credit 

risks.

2. Account titles including monetary claims boughts are subject to securitisation products if they have a characteristic of securitisation products, otherwise they are subject to 

CR, therefore, they extend over multiple risk categories.

3. Foreign exchange risk and commodities risk in the banking book are not included in column f “Market risk,” since it is difficult to link them with account titles.

Preferred resolution strategy (1)
The SPE (Single Point of Entry) resolution strategy is considered to be the preferred resolution strategy for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial 
Group, Inc. (SMFG) and its subsidiaries.
More concretely, at the time of a stress, following the relevant authority’s determination that one or more of the material sub-groups, i.e. 
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and SMBC Nikko Securities Inc., have reached the point of non-viability, losses incurred to them 
would be passed to SMFG, the ultimate holding company. While this could lead to a resolution of SMFG, the material sub-groups are 
expected to continue their business as usual under the Specified Bridge Financial Institution, etc. incorporated by the Deposit Insurance 
Corporation of Japan (DICJ) to which SMFG transfers its business.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III Information 
Liquidity Coverage Ratio Information (Consolidated)
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Since March 31, 2015, the “Liquidity Coverage Ratio” (hereinafter referred to as “LCR”), the liquidity ratio regulation under the Basel III, has 
been introduced in Japan. In addition to the application of uniform international standards, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group calculates its 
consolidated LCR using the calculation formula stipulated in the “Criteria for Evaluating the Soundness of Liquidity Status Set Forth by a Bank 
Holding Company as a Benchmark for Judging the Soundness of Management of Itself and its Subsidiaries, etc., Based on the Provision of 
Article 52-25 of the Banking Act, and Which Are Also the Criteria to be Referred to for Judging the Soundness of Management in Banks” 
(Notification No. 62 issued by the Japanese Financial Services Agency in 2014; hereinafter referred to as the “LCR Notification”). 

■ Disclosure of Qualitative Information about Liquidity Coverage Ratio
1. Intra-period Changes in Consolidated LCR
  As described on the following page, the LCR has remained stable with no significant fluctuation since the introduction of the liquidity ratio 

regulation on March 31, 2015.

2. Assessment of Consolidated LCR
  The LCR Notification stipulates the minimum requirement of the LCR for 2018 at 90%, and 100% from 2019 onwards. The LCR of 

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (consolidated) exceeds the minimum requirements of the LCR for 2018 and for 2019 onwards, having no 
cause for concern. In terms of the future LCR forecasts, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group does not expect significant deviations from the 
disclosed ratios. In addition, the actual LCR does not differ significantly from the initial forecast.

3. Composition of High-Quality Liquid Assets
  Regarding the high-quality liquid assets allowed to be included in the calculation, there are no significant changes in locations and 

properties of currency denominations, categories and so on. In addition, in respect of major currencies (those of which the aggregate amount 
of liabilities denominated in a certain currency accounts for 5% or more of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s total liabilities on the 
consolidated basis), there is no significant mismatch in currency denomination between the total amount of the high-quality liquid assets 
allowed to be included in the calculation and the amount of net cash outflows.

4. Other Information Concerning Consolidated LCR
  Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group has not applied “special provisions concerning qualifying operational deposits” prescribed in Article 28 of 

the LCR Notification and “increased liquidity needs related to market valuation changes on derivative or other transactions simulated 
through Scenario Approach” prescribed in Article 37 of the LCR Notification. Meanwhile, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group records “cash 
outflows related to small-sized consolidated subsidiaries,” etc. under “cash outflows based on other contracts” prescribed in Article 59 of the 
LCR Notification.

transactions by domestic branches and operations by overseas branches. Yen-denominated nonresident transactions and Japan offshore banking 
accounts are included in international operations.

2. Figures in brackets [ ] indicate interest payments between domestic and international operations. Difference between sums of domestic and international 
operations and some figures in the total column due to indication on a net basis of interest from interest rate swaps and similar instruments, is included in 
figures in brackets [ ].

3. As net figures are shown for financial derivatives, figures in the total column of other operating income and other operating expenses are less than sums of 

domestic operations and international operations, respectively (¥925 million for the year ended March 31, 2018).

4. Gross banking profit rate = Gross banking profit / Average balance of interest-earning assets ✕ 100

direct write-off or other means.

2. The figures shown in the above table under “new occurrences” and “off-balanced” are simple additions of the figures for the first and second halves of 

fiscal 2018. Amount of ¥30.6 billion in fiscal 2018, recognized as “new occurrences” in the first half of the term, was included in the amounts off-balanced 
in the second half.

SMBCSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III InformationLiquidity Coverage Ratio Information (Consolidated)
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Subsidiaries

Since March 31, 2015, the “Liquidity Coverage Ratio” (hereinafter referred to as “LCR”), the liquidity ratio regulation under the Basel III, has 
been introduced in Japan. In addition to the application of uniform international standards, SMBC calculates its consolidated LCR using the 
calculation formula stipulated in the “Criteria for Evaluating the Soundness of Liquidity Status Set Forth by a Bank as a Benchmark for Judging 
its Soundness of Management, Based on the Provision of Article 14-2 of the Banking Act” (Notification No. 60 issued by the Japanese Financial 
Services Agency in 2014; hereinafter referred to as the “LCR Notification”). 

■ Disclosure of Qualitative Information about Liquidity Coverage Ratio
1. Intra-period Changes in Consolidated LCR
  As described on the following page, the LCR has remained stable with no significant fluctuation since the introduction of the liquidity ratio 

regulation on March 31, 2015.

2. Assessment of Consolidated LCR
  The LCR Notification stipulates the minimum requirement of the LCR for 2018 at 90%, and 100% from 2019 onwards. The LCR of SMBC 
(consolidated) exceeds the minimum requirements of the LCR for 2018 and for 2019 onwards, having no cause for concern. In terms of the 
future LCR forecasts, SMBC does not expect significant deviations from the disclosed ratios. In addition, the actual LCR does not differ 
significantly from the initial forecast.

3. Composition of High-Quality Liquid Assets
  Regarding the high-quality liquid assets allowed to be included in the calculation, there are no significant changes in locations and 

properties of currency denominations, categories and so on. In addition, in respect of major currencies (those of which the aggregate amount 
of liabilities denominated in a certain currency accounts for 5% or more of SMBC’s total liabilities on the consolidated basis), there is no 
significant mismatch in currency denomination between the total amount of the high-quality liquid assets allowed to be included in the 
calculation and the amount of net cash outflows.

4. Other Information Concerning Consolidated LCR
  SMBC has not applied “special provisions concerning qualifying operational deposits” prescribed in Article 29 of the LCR Notification and 
“increased liquidity needs related to market valuation changes on derivative or other transactions simulated through Scenario Approach” 
prescribed in Article 38 of the LCR Notification. Meanwhile, SMBC records “cash outflows related to small-sized consolidated subsidiaries,” 
etc. under “cash outflows based on other contracts” prescribed in Article 60 of the LCR Notification.

SMBCSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III InformationLiquidity Coverage Ratio Information (Non-consolidated)
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation

Since March 31, 2015, the “Liquidity Coverage Ratio” (hereinafter referred to as “LCR”), the liquidity ratio regulation under the Basel III, has 
been introduced in Japan. In addition to the application of uniform international standards, SMBC calculates its non-consolidated LCR using 
the calculation formula stipulated in the “Criteria for Evaluating the Soundness of Liquidity Status Set Forth by a Bank as a Benchmark for 
Judging its Soundness of Management, Based on the Provision of Article 14-2 of the Banking Act” (Notification No. 60 issued by the Japanese 
Financial Services Agency in 2014; hereinafter referred to as the “LCR Notification”). 

■ Disclosure of Qualitative Information about Liquidity Coverage Ratio
1. Intra-period Changes in Non-consolidated LCR
  As described on the following page, the LCR has remained stable with no significant fluctuation since the introduction of the liquidity ratio 

regulation on March 31, 2015.

2. Assessment of Non-consolidated LCR
  The LCR Notification stipulates the minimum requirement of the LCR for 2018 at 90%, and 100% from 2019 onwards. The LCR of SMBC 
(non-consolidated) exceeds the minimum requirements of the LCR for 2018 and for 2019 onwards, having no cause for concern. In terms of 
the future LCR forecasts, SMBC does not expect significant deviations from the disclosed ratios. In addition, the actual LCR does not differ 
significantly from the initial forecast.

3. Composition of High-Quality Liquid Assets
  Regarding the high-quality liquid assets allowed to be included in the calculation, there are no significant changes in locations and 

properties of currency denominations, categories and so on. In addition, in respect of major currencies (those of which the aggregate amount 
of liabilities denominated in a certain currency accounts for 5% or more of SMBC’s total liabilities on the non-consolidated basis), there is no 
significant mismatch in currency denomination between the total amount of the high-quality liquid assets allowed to be included in the 
calculation and the amount of net cash outflows.

4. Other Information Concerning Non-consolidated LCR
  SMBC has not applied “special provisions concerning qualifying operational deposits” prescribed in Article 29 of the LCR Notification and 
“increased liquidity needs related to market valuation changes on derivative or other transactions simulated through Scenario Approach” 
prescribed in Article 38 of the LCR Notification. Meanwhile, SMBC records “due to trust account,” etc. under “cash outflows based on other 
contracts” prescribed in Article 60 of the LCR Notification.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Basel III InformationCompensation

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group

■ Compensation Framework of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Its Group Companies
1. Scope of Officers, Employees and Others

The scope of officers, employees and others whose compensation is subject to disclosure under the revised Cabinet Office on Disclosure of
Corporate Affairs, etc. and other ordinances are as described below.
(1) Scope of Officers

Officers subject to compensation disclosure are directors and executive officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group during the fiscal year 
under review (excluding outside directors).

(2) Scope of Employees and Others

Employees and others subject to compensation disclosure are employees of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and officers and employees 
of its major consolidated subsidiaries who are highly compensated and have a material influence on the business management or the 
assets of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its major consolidated subsidiaries.
a)  Scope of major consolidated subsidiaries

A major consolidated subsidiary is a consolidated subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group with total assets accounting for 
more than 2% of the total consolidated assets of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and has a material influence on the management 
of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its group companies. Specifically, they are Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, SMBC 
Nikko Securities Inc., SMBC Guarantee Co., Ltd., Limited and overseas subsidiaries such as Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation 
Europe Limited and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (China) Limited.

b)  Scope of highly compensated persons

A highly compensated person is an individual whose compensation paid by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group or its major 
subsidiaries is equal to or more than the base amount. The base amount of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group is set at ¥60 million 
which is based on the average amount of compensation paid to the officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and SMBC (excluding 
officers appointed or retired during the fiscal year in question) over the last three fiscal years (hereinafter “executive compensation 
amount”) and is applied to all group companies. This is because many of the officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group also serve as 
officers of SMBC, and their executive compensation amount is determined according to their contribution to the group as a whole. 
With respect to lump-sum retirement payment for officers serving in Japan, the executive compensation amount for the fiscal year in 
question is “(his/her executive compensation amount – lump-sum retirement payment) + (lump-sum retirement payment/years of 
service)” and the executive compensation amount calculated using this formula is compared to the base amount.

c)  Material influence on the business management or assets of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its major consolidated 

subsidiaries
A person has a material influence on the business management or assets of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its major 
consolidated subsidiaries if his/her regular transactions or regular matters managed by him/her have a substantial impact on the 
business management of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its group companies, or losses incurred through such actions have a 
significant impact on the financial situation of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its group companies. Specifically, persons 
having such influence are directors, corporate auditors and corporate officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its major 
consolidated subsidiaries, both domestic and overseas.

2.  Names, Compositions, and Duties of the Main Bodies, Such as the Committee Responsible for Supervising Business Execution 

Concerning the Determination of Compensation, Its Payment and Other Related Matters
(1) Establishment and Maintenance of the Compensation Committee

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, as a Company with a Nomination Committee, has established a Compensation Committee to resolve 
the “policy to determine individual remuneration for directors and executive officers,” “executive compensation programme and relevant 
regulations,” and “individual remuneration for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s directors and corporate executive officers.” The 
Compensation Committee is a body independent from the influence of business units, chaired by an outside director, with the majority 
of its members being also outside directors, and tasked to determine and deliberate matters related to executive compensation of 
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its group companies. In addition, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Compensation Committee 
reviews and discusses executive compensation programmes/practices of group companies of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and the 
individual remuneration for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s other executive officers. Furthermore, group companies of Sumitomo 
Mitsui Financial Group respect the details of the deliberations at the Compensation Committee of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group 
and determine the compensation for directors and corporate auditors within the maximum total amount of compensation approved at an 
ordinary general meeting of shareholders.

(2) For Employees and Others

The amount and type of compensation paid to the employees of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and SMBC and the officers and 
employees of major consolidated subsidiaries are determined and paid according to the compensation policies established by the boards 
of directors of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and its major consolidated subsidiaries. Compensation systems based on the 
compensation policies are designed and documented by the HR departments of respective companies, independent from the influence of 
business units. The compensation policies of major consolidated subsidiaries are regularly reported to the HR department of Sumitomo 
Mitsui Financial Group for review. The amount and type of compensation for overseas officers and employees is determined and paid 
under the compensation system established by the relevant office or subsidiary in accordance with local laws, regulations and employment 
practices.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019■ Assessment of Design and Operation of Compensation Structure
Compensation Policies for Officers, Employees and Others

(1) For Officers

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group hereby establishes the Executive Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) in order to provide guiding prin-
ciples for its Compensation Committee to determine individual remuneration for its directors and executive officers (the “Executives”).
The Policy’s aim is that executive compensation pursuant to it shall provide the appropriate incentives for the Executives to pursue our 
Mission and our medium-/long-term vision of becoming “a global financial group that, by earning the highest trust of our customers, 
leads the growth of Japan and the Asian region”.
Group companies of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shall determine their executive compensations in accordance with this Policy.


I. 

 Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s executive compensation aims at providing appropriate incentives toward the realization of our 
mission and our vision.
 Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s executive compensation shall reflect the changing business environment and the short-, medi-
um- and long-term performance of the group, and shall account for the contribution to shareholder value and customer satisfaction.
Individual remuneration shall reflect the assigned roles and responsibilities as well as the performance of the respective Executive.
 Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shall research and review market practices, including the use of third-party surveys, in order to 
provide its Executives with a competitive remuneration package.
 Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s executive compensation shall discourage excessive risk-taking and foster a prudent risk culture 
expected of a financial institution.

II. 

III. 
IV. 

V. 

VI.  Both external and internal regulations/guidelines on executive compensation shall be observed and respected.
VII.   Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shall establish appropriate governance and controls of the compensation process, and shall regu-

larly review to update its executive compensation practices according to changing market practices and/or business environment.


I. 

 Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s executive compensation programme (the “Programme”) shall have three components: base sal-
ary, cash bonus, and stock compensation.
 In order to hold the Executives accountable and provide them with appropriate incentives for the performance of the group, the 
Programme targets the variable compensation component of total remuneration at 40%, if paid at standard levels. Corresponding 
with performance and the business environment, the variable component could range from 0% to 150% of the standard levels, 
which shall be determined by corporate titles of the Executives.
 In order to enhance shareholding of the Executives and align their interests with shareholders, the Programme targets its stock-
based compensation components at 25% of total remuneration, if paid at standard levels.

II. 

III. 

IV.  The above target levels shall be appropriately set in accordance with the roles, responsibilities, etc. of each Executive.
V. 

 Base salary shall be paid in cash and shall be, in principle, determined by the corporate titles of each Executive, reflecting the roles, 
responsibilities, etc.
 Annual incentives shall be determined based on the annual performance of the group, the group company and the business unit 
each Executive is accountable for, as well as on the performance of the respective Executive reviewed both from short-term and me-
dium-/long-term perspectives. 70% of the determined amount shall be paid as a cash bonus and the remaining 30% shall be paid 
under Stock Compensation Plan I (annual performance share plan).

VI. 

VII.   Stock compensation plans consist of Stock Compensation Plan I (the “Plan I”), under which the remuneration of the Executives shall 
be determined based on Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s medium-term performance, etc., Stock Compensation Plan II (the “Plan 
II”), determined based on Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s annual performance, etc. and Stock Compensation Plan III (the “Plan 
III”), determined based on corporate titles, etc.
a.  Under the stock compensation plans, the Executives shall receive remuneration via shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group 

common stock. The transfer of such stock shall be restricted for appropriately defined periods.

b.  Remuneration under Plan I shall be determined based on Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s performance against the Medium-term 
Management Plan, performance of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shares, and the results of customer satisfaction surveys, etc.
c.  Remunerations under Plan II shall be determined based on the annual performance of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, the 

group company, and the business unit each Executive is accountable for, as well as on the performance of each Executive reviewed 
both from a short-term and medium-/long-term perspectives. Remuneration paid by restricted shares, they shall effectively act as 
deferred compensation.

d. Remuneration under Plan III shall be determined based on corporate titles, roles, and responsibilities, etc.

VIII.  In the event of material amendments to the financial statements or material reputational damages caused by the Executives, remu-

IX. 

nerations under the Plans could be reduced or fully forfeit.
 Notwithstanding the above, executive compensation for the Executives domiciled outside Japan shall be individually designed and 
determined not only in accordance with this Policy, but also with consideration to local regulations, guidelines, and other local 
market practices, whilst ensuring the compensation should not incentivize for excessive risk-taking.


Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, as a Company with a Nomination Committee, has established a Compensation Committee to resolve 
the following:
    •  The Policy, executive compensation programme and relevant regulations.
    •  Individual remunerations for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s directors and corporate executive officers.
In addition to the above, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Compensation Committee shall review and discuss the below:
    •  Executive compensation programmes/practices of group companies of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.
    •  The individual remuneration for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s other executive officers.

(2) For Employees and Others

In order to link the business philosophy and strategy of the company to the roles and responsibilities of employees and others, Sumitomo 
Mitsui Financial Group and its major consolidated subsidiaries determine the domestic compensation taking into account their job 
responsibilities, business performance and other factors.

■ Consistency between Compensation Structure and Risk Management and Link between Compensation and 

Performance
1. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and SMBC

In determining the compensation for the officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, the details of individual compensation for 
directors and executive officers are determined by the mandatory Compensation Committee, where the majority of the committee

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019Compensation 
 
 
 
members are the outside directors. The compensation for the officers of SMBC are determined within the scope approved at a 
shareholders' meeting.
In order to hold the Executives accountable and provide them with appropriate incentives for the
performance of the group, the Programme targets the variable compensation component of total
remuneration at 40%, if paid at standard levels. The Programme shall have three components: base salary, cash bonus, and 
stock compensation. Cash bonus shall be determined based on the annual performance of the group, as well as on the 
performance of the respective Executive reviewed both from short-term and medium-/long-term perspectives. Stock 
compensation is determined based on the progress of the Medium-term Management plan, performance of Sumitomo Mitsui 
Financial Group shares, and the results of customer satisfaction surveys, etc. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and SMBC 
allot restricted stocks via the Plans to Executives to effectively defer part of executive compensation.
Stock Compensation Plan I involves removal of the restriction on transfer, after the expiry of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial 
Group’s Medium-term Management Plan. In the event that the finalized amount of compensation falls short of the initially 
allocated amount, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group will retrieve all or part of the allotted shares at nil cost in the case the 
final amount falls below the initial amount. 
Stock Compensation Plan II involves step-by-step removal of the restriction on transfer, one third in each year over the three 
years following the payment.
Stock Compensation Plan III involves removal of the restriction on transfer, either 30 years after payment or at the time of 
retirement from the position of officer.
In addition, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and SMBC introduced the malus (forfeiture) of restricted stock and the claw-
back of vested stock allocated to the Executives under the Plans in order to restrain excessive risk-taking and foster a prudent 
risk culture expected of a financial institution. Provisions on malus and clawbacks are included in the Allotment Agreement 
and they shall be exercised in the event of material amendments to the financial statements or material reputational damage 
caused by the Executives after thorough review at the Compensation Committee.
In addition, in determining the compensation for employees, their job responsibilities and business performance are taken 
into account. For variablecompensation, in order to avoid an excessive result-oriented approach, it is determined after 
comprehensive evaluation based on not only short-term performance results but also qualitative evaluation. Compensation is 
individually designed with consideration to local regulations, guidelines, and other market practices, whilst ensuring the 
compensation should not incentivize for excessive risk-taking.

2. Other Major Consolidated Subsidiaries

The compensation for officers and employees of other major subsidiaries of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group are determined 
by comprehensively taking into account the assessment of the subsidiaries’ medium- and long-term earnings, and in the case 
of an overseas subsidiary, local laws, regulations and employment practices, and a compensation structure that could affect the 
risk management of the group has not been adopted. While terms of employment presented at the time of recruitment may in-
clude the minimum amount of compensation within a reasonable scope under local practice, the compensation structure is 
designed to avoid an excessive result-oriented approach. In addition, expenses for employee retention are recorded for em-
ployees of certain major consolidated subsidiaries.

2. Stock Compensation Plan III is classified as fixed compensation because the amount allotted depends on the individual’s position. Other stock compensation involves an 

amount of issuance prone to performance-linked fluctuations, and is thus classified as variable compensation.

Sumitomo Mitsui Financial GroupSMBC Group Annual Report 2019CompensationCompensation

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) and Its Group Companies

■ Compensation Framework of SMBC Group
1. Scope of Officers and Employees

The scope of officers, employees and others whose compensation is subject to disclosure under the revised Cabinet Office on Disclosure of
Corporate Affairs, etc. and other ordinances are as described below.
(1) Scope of Officers

Officers subject to compensation disclosure are directors and corporate auditors of SMBC during the fiscal year under review (excluding 
outside directors and corporate auditors).

(2) Scope of Employees and Others

Employees and others subject to compensation disclosure are employees of SMBC and officers and employees of its major consolidated
subsidiaries who are highly compensated and have a material influence on the business management or the assets of SMBC and its major
consolidated subsidiaries.
a)  Scope of major consolidated subsidiaries

A major consolidated subsidiary is a consolidated subsidiary of SMBC with total assets accounting for more than 2% of the total 
consolidated assets of SMBC and has a material influence on the management of SMBC and its group companies. Specifically, they are  
SMBC Guarantee Co., Ltd. and overseas subsidiaries such as Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Europe Limited and Sumitomo 
Mitsui Banking Corporation (China) Limited.

b) Scope of highly compensated persons

A highly compensated person is an individual whose compensation paid by SMBC or its major subsidiaries is equal to or more than
the base amount. The base amount of SMBC is set at ¥60 million which is based on the average amount of compensation paid to the
officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and SMBC (excluding officers appointed or retired during the fiscal year in question) 
over the last three fiscal years (hereinafter “executive compensation amount”) and is applied to all group companies. This is because 
many of the officers of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group also serve as officers of SMBC, and their executive compensation amount is 
determined according to their contribution to the group as a whole. With respect to lump-sum retirement payment for officers serving 
in Japan, the executive compensation amount for the fiscal year in question is “(his/her executive compensation amount – lump-sum 
retirement payment) + (lump-sum retirement payment/years of service)” and the executive compensation amount calculated using this 
formula is compared to the base amount.

c)  Material influence on the business management or assets of SMBC and its major consolidated subsidiaries

A person has a material influence on the business management or assets of SMBC and its major consolidated subsidiaries if his/her
regular transactions or regular matters managed by him/her have a substantial impact on the business management of SMBC and its
group companies, or losses incurred through such actions have a significant impact on the financial situation of SMBC and its group
companies. Specifically, persons having such influence are directors, corporate auditors and corporate officers of SMBC and its major
consolidated subsidiaries, both domestic and overseas.
