Revenue in US dollars Revenue (US$m)

The revenue line above, converted at the average ¥/US$ rate of each figure’s own year — never today’s.

Between 1997–2026, Nomura Research Institute’s revenue grew 4.9-fold in yen (5.6% a year). Converted at each year’s own average rate, the same span is 3.7-fold in dollars (4.6% a year), from $1.4bn to $5.2bn. The dollar figure grew more slowly because the yen weakened over the period: part of the growth an investor sees in yen does not survive translation into dollars.

Revenue in millions of US dollars, converted at each year’s own average rate, with the yen figure as filed and the rate applied.

Reporting basis

Which accounting standard each stretch of the series was filed under, and whether the accounts are consolidated.

The series crosses 2 reporting regimes — consolidated Japanese GAAP for 1997–2016; and consolidated IFRS for 2017–2026. Figures are not strictly comparable across a change of basis: consolidation in particular adds subsidiaries that were previously outside the accounts.

Reporting regimes across the long series, oldest first.
