results for the second quarter and the six months ended September 30, 2023. The
report showed an increase in revenue and an impressive jump in profit.

The Japanese brokerage and investment bank reported
a net revenue of 716.7 billion yen for the six months ended September 30. This
represents an increase of 16.2% from the same period of last year. Non-interest
expenses increased by 6.9%, reaching 613.6 billion yen.

Nomura’s income before tax soared 118.5%, reaching
104.6 billion yen. According to the company, the diversification of income
streams contributed to this remarkable growth.

Additionally, Nomura’s financial position expanded.

marked an increase of 7,043.5 billion yen compared to March 31, 2023. This
growth was attributed to an increase in securities purchased under agreements
to resell.

Nomura’s total liabilities as of the same date
amounted to 51,443.0 billion yen, an increase of 6,895.4 billion yen compared
to March 31. This growth primarily resulted from increased securities sold

September 30. This was an increase of 148.1 billion yen compared to March 31, 2023. Nomura acknowledged the uncertainties due to economic and market
