⚠ Returns That Depend on Selling EquitiesModerate threat

Tokio Marine Holdings (8766) — threat to the moat

Tokio Marine's generous returns are partly paid for by selling assets it will soon run out of.

Planned distributions of ¥860.6 billion1 are close to the ¥950.0 billion of IFRS adjusted net income guided for the year2. The difference is funded by the strategic equity sales, ¥430.0 billion planned3.

Returns close to profit, with equity sales filling the gap.

When the equities are gone, by 20304, distributions will have to come from profit alone, and the pace of buybacks may slow.

A company that returns almost everything also has less for acquisitions without borrowing.

The plan for the current year shows the balance: ¥860.6 billion of distributions5, ¥430.0 billion of planned equity sales6 and ¥950.0 billion of adjusted profit7. After 2030 the middle figure goes to zero.

The measure is distributions after 2030. Sustaining them from profit would show the business, not the liquidation, paying.
