The stock transfer is planned for fiscal 2026. The new banking service will start during fiscal 2027, and the establishment of a joint venture company is planned for fiscal 2028. Resona HD expects to record approximately 40 billion yen of special gains from the sale of affiliated company shares in its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2027; however, this will be eliminated in consolidated financial statements. The collaboration among the three companies is expected to improve performance in the medium to long term.
