Divisional Performance

The retail division generated net revenue of 70.5 billion yen, which was down 19 percent quarter-over-quarter and 27 percent year over year. The pre-tax income also declined to 5.2 billion yen, down 71 percent from the previous quarter and 80 percent yearly.

Nomura generated 10.1 billion yen as net revenue from its investment management business and another 194.9 billion yen from the wholesale division.
“Despite market volatility due to changes in monetary policy and heightened geopolitical risks, Global Markets maintained strong revenue momentum underpinned by disciplined risk management and diversification across regions and products,” said Nomuras President and Group CEO Kentaro Okuda.
