Reporting basis
Which accounting standard each stretch of the series was filed under, and whether the accounts are consolidated.
The series crosses 3 reporting regimes — parent-only Japanese GAAP for 1996–2001; consolidated Japanese GAAP for 2002–2011; and consolidated IFRS for 2012–2026. Figures are not strictly comparable across a change of basis: consolidation in particular adds subsidiaries that were previously outside the accounts.
| Fiscal years | Standard | Basis | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1996–2001 | Japanese GAAP | parent-only | 6 |
| 2002–2011 | Japanese GAAP | consolidated | 10 |
| 2012–2026 | IFRS | consolidated | 15 |
All figures are in Japanese yen as filed. Where a foreign-currency comparison is needed elsewhere on this site, yen amounts are converted at the average rate of each figure's own year — not today's rate. Exchange rates & sources →
