  1. Introduction

    1. About MCEV

      The current Japanese financial accounting standards focus on conservativeness and have the limitation that the profits generated from life insurance business are often undervalued, especially shortly after acquisition of the business, leading to challenges in terms of the valuation and assessment of performance of life insurance business.

      Embedded values (EV) are calculated as the total of the "corporate net asset value" and the "value of existing business". EV is designed to address the limitations of the financial accounting standards in order to facilitate an appropriate evaluation of value and improve performance assessment, considering the actual situation of the business performance.

      While there have been various methodologies for calculation of EV, the CFO Forum released its MCEV Principles in June 2008 and additional guidance subsequently to enhance the consistency of valuation standards and unify the standards for disclosures. TMNL has been disclosing its EV in compliance with the MCEV Principles to enhance the disclosure since the period ending March 2015.

    2. Covered business

      The business covered in this report is the business written by TMNL and its subsidiaries. We have reflected book values of subsidiaries on a Japanese GAAP basis in calculating adjusted net worth. Calculation results in this report do not reflect business written by other business entities in the Tokio Marine Group.

    3. Statement of directors

      The Directors of TMNL state that the MCEV results presented here were prepared in compliance with MCEV Principles, except for points of special notice. Please refer to "1.5. Compliance with MCEV Principles" for areas of non-compliance with MCEV Principles.

    4. Review by an independent third party

      TMNL has requested Milliman, Inc., an independent third-party with actuarial expertise, to conduct a review to assure the appropriateness and reasonableness of the EV calculations, and has received an opinion (Only for the Japanese version).

    5. Compliance with MCEV Principles

      We have calculated our MCEV in accordance with the calculation methodologies and assumptions prescribed in the MCEV Principles. Points of special notice regarding compliance with MCEV Principles are as follows:

      • The reference rate used in the calculations has been defined as government bond yields rather than the swap rate curve as stipulated in the MCEV Principles.

      • MCEV results are solely for TMNL, and they are not the consolidated results of the Tokio

      Marine Group. Group MCEV, as prescribed in the MCEV Principles, is not considered in this report, as the report is for TMNL on a standalone basis.

    6. Use of government bond yields as reference rates

    7. While MCEV Principles stipulate that swap rates should be employed as reference rates as a proxy for risk free rates, we use government bond yields as reference rates for the following reasons:

      • While swap rates reflect credit risks with regard to LIBOR in general, it is believed that the

        Japanese government bond yields and US Treasury bond yields we have employed as reference rates have no credit risk.

      • We have been conducting ALM focusing on government bonds, from which we can in

        practice earn income equivalent to the risk free rates. This also allows a consistent valuation of assets and liabilities.

      • Both Japanese government bonds and US Treasury bonds have sufficient liquidity.

      Please refer to "2.7 Sensitivity analysis" to see the impact of a change in the reference rates from government bond yields to swap rates.
