Information on incurred losses caused by Typhoon No. 15 (preliminary report)

We would like to express our sincerest sympathies to all who have suffered losses as a result of Typhoon No. 15.

As of September 30, data compiled by Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc., on losses resulting from Typhoon No. 15 (Typhoon Roke, which crossed central Japan on 21 September) had exceeded certain levels and, therefore, are reported below.

The amounts shown below are based on information available as of September 30 and could change materially based on the results of claims investigations and other factors.

As our Group maintains rigorous risk control, financial statements will eventually reflect the benefits including applicable reinsurance and catastrophe reserves*1.

The adjusted capital for Tokio Marine Holdings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 is approximately 2.9 trillion yen. We believe the losses reported on herein will have a minor impact on the financial soundness of Tokio Marine Holdings.

*1: Catastrophe reserves
  To prepare for the payment of claims resulting from events like large-scale natural disasters, a portion of insurance premiums is set aside as catastrophe reserves. In each financial reporting period following a disaster, loss ratios are calculated for each type of insurance. When loss ratios exceed catastrophe loss ratios established by the Insurance Business Act, the catastrophe reserves are reversed by an amount corresponding to the exceeded portion of loss ratios.
