Notice regarding Postponement of the Announcement of the Consolidated Financial Results for FY2020.3

TOKYO, Japan - April 16,2020 - ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) would like to express our sincere condolences to those who died from the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and offer our heartfelt sympathy to all impacted people.

While placing top priority on ensuring the safety of all stakeholders, including employees, their families and customers, ORIX continues to strive to minimize the impact on our business.

Under these circumstances, considering the possibility that our auditors would take more time to audit our many foreign group companies, ORIX has decided to postpone the scheduled date of announcement of the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2020, from May 11, 2020 (Monday) to May 21, 2020 (Thursday).

At the present time, ORIX has not changed its consolidated earnings forecast for the year ending March, 2020.

Among our businesses, the business areas most affected by the COVID-19 infection are Hotels and inns (Real Estate Facilities Operation), Concession (Kansai Airport), and Aircraft leasing. Although it depends on when the COVID-19 impact stabilizes, ORIX believes that a cautious management approach is merited based on the recognition that conditions will continue to be challenging for the foreseeable future.

However, ORIX is engaged in a diverse mix of businesses, and risks in each segment are limited. In addition, with regard to our financial position, ORIX has sufficient liquidity and a high long-term debt ratio. Thus, ORIX would like to continue to seek new investments.

The share repurchase program announced on October 28, 2019 will end on May 8, 2020 as scheduled. ORIX will decide on the next repurchase of its own shares after ORIX evaluates the impact of the outbreak of the COVID-19 on the global economy.

ORIX continues to place top priority on the safety of our employees, their families, customers and other stakeholders, and we will endeavor to do our very best to minimize the impact on our business.
