The Bank of Toyama,Ltd.8365

Business

The Bank of Toyama, Ltd. was founded in 1954 and is a regional financial institution operating primarily in Toyama and Ishikawa Prefectures. Through its head office and 38 branches, it offers deposit-taking, lending, domestic and foreign exchange services, and over-the-counter sales of investment trusts and insurance. Its consolidated subsidiaries include Toyama Lease Co., Ltd. (Leasing Business) and Toyama Guarantee Service Co., Ltd. (housing loan and other credit guarantee business), forming a group structure that provides complementary financial services centered on Banking. Its main customers are individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and local governments in Toyama and Ishikawa Prefectures. As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), outstanding loans stood at ¥381,916 million and deposits at ¥511,544 million. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The core earnings driver is the traditional interest margin model, in which funds raised from deposits from individuals and corporations are deployed into loans (¥381,916 million at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026)) and securities (¥135,592 million for the same period). Net interest income for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥5,553 million. On top of this, the company has a multi-layered revenue structure that adds fee income (¥849 million) from sources such as commissions on over-the-counter sales of investment trusts and insurance, as well as leasing revenue from external customers generated by subsidiaries (¥1,743 million) and guarantee revenue (¥33 million).

Company Strengths

Individual deposit balances at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) expanded steadily to ¥379,002 million (up ¥11,649 million from the end of the previous fiscal year). Individual deposits account for approximately 74% of total deposits of ¥511,544 million, forming a low-cost and stable funding base. This is underpinned by customer relationships built over many years through a regionally focused branch network (39 branches).

The loan yield reached 1.18% in FY2026 (ending March 2026) (up 0.19 percentage points from the previous fiscal year). Interest on loans was ¥4,532 million against an average loan balance of ¥382,686 million, an increase of ¥753 million from the previous fiscal year. Business loan balances also increased to ¥309,134 million (up ¥757 million from the previous fiscal year), with a profitability-focused lending stance contributing to the improvement in yield.

The consolidated capital adequacy ratio (domestic standard) at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) was 9.28% (up 0.18 percentage points from the end of the previous fiscal year), well above the 4% required of domestic standard banks. Capital of ¥28.2 billion was secured against risk assets of ¥304.1 billion. Non-performing loans (total of bankrupt/reorganization claims, doubtful claims, and substandard claims) stood at ¥11,091 million, a manageable level.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The 42.3% increase in ordinary income and 37.8% increase in ordinary profit for FY2026 (ending March 2026) heavily depend on a one-time factor, namely gains on sales of securities of ¥3,680 million (unconsolidated), raising doubts about sustainability. The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) projects ordinary profit of ¥1,400 million (down 21.3% year on year) and net profit of ¥1,050 million (up 0.2% year on year), anticipating a substantial decline in ordinary profit. Core net business profit (unconsolidated) stood at ¥808 million, down ¥235 million year on year, indicating that the core business's earning power remains limited.

The unconsolidated overall interest margin widened its negative spread to -0.05% in FY2026 (ending March 2026) from -0.03% in the previous fiscal year. Against a yield on interest-earning assets of 1.21%, the cost of funding stood at 1.26% (of which the expense ratio was 1.08%), indicating a risk that rising funding costs could outpace improvements in asset yields even amid rising interest rates. If the Bank of Japan proceeds with additional rate hikes, interest expenses on deposits (¥1,064 million unconsolidated in FY2026 (ending March 2026), up ¥765 million year on year) could accelerate further, potentially sustaining pressure on the interest margin.

Unconsolidated loans outstanding stood at ¥383,283 million, down ¥1,147 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. Loans to small and medium-sized enterprises also declined to ¥277,421 million (down ¥2,870 million year on year), showing a contraction trend. Toyama Prefecture is a region experiencing population decline and an aging population, and the balance of consumer loans to individuals also slightly decreased to ¥44,725 million (down ¥368 million year on year). Amid the continued flat trajectory of the regional economy, there are structural limits to earnings growth through quantitative expansion of lending, making improvement in interest margins and expansion of non-interest income essential challenges.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for net income of ¥1 billion or more in FY2028 through issue-solving lending, retail business enhancement, and efficient management

Against the backdrop of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy normalization, the Bank improved its lending yield (1.18%, up 0.19 percentage points year on year) while increasing its securities balance to ¥135,462 million (non-consolidated), continuing an investment policy that balances stable earnings with liquidity assurance. The basic policy for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is to maintain and expand net interest income.

The balance of investment trusts expanded significantly to ¥24,644 million as of the end of March 2026 (up ¥4,234 million from the previous fiscal year-end). Against the backdrop of growth in individual deposits (¥379,002 million), the Bank is strengthening over-the-counter sales to capture asset management needs. It aims to boost non-interest income by maintaining and expanding fee and commission income (¥1,225 million on a consolidated basis).

In FY2026 (ended March 2026), the Bank achieved zero provision for allowance for loan losses and a reversal gain of ¥40 million (non-consolidated), with a coverage ratio of 95.59%. By continuing to support business improvement for client companies, the Bank aims to keep credit costs stably low through stable management of the non-performing loan ratio at 2.84% (non-consolidated).

Under the finalized Basel III framework (applied from the end of March 2025), the Bank achieved a non-consolidated capital adequacy ratio of 9.09% (up 0.16 percentage points year on year) and a consolidated ratio of 9.28% (up 0.18 percentage points year on year), maintaining a level well above the domestic soundness standard of 4%. The Bank aims to balance the accumulation of net assets (¥31,968 million on a consolidated basis) with maintaining a dividend payout ratio of around 28%.
