Revision of Earnings Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2011

 

 

TOKYO, November 12, 2010 --- Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (“SMFG”) announces a revision of its consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, which were announced in May 2010.

 

SMFG revises its consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 mainly because Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, a major consolidated subsidiary of SMFG, is expected to show an increase in banking profit (before provision for general reserve for possible loan losses) and a decrease in credit cost.

Forecasts on SMFG’s non-consolidated earnings and dividends remain unchanged.
