YAMATO LIFE: JCR Affirms B+ Rating with Stable Outlook
Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd., has affirmed its B+ rating on Yamato Life Insurance Co. The rating has a stable outlook.
Sales of the so-called 3rd sector insurance (healthcare and nursing care insurance) of Yamato Life Insurance have been on the rise. Besides, the core capital has increased significantly thanks to the temporarily risen profit by asset investment. However, profitability of the Company except the temporary factor remains low. There are now discrepancies arising between strengthening the sales channels and strategy drawn by the medium-term management plan as indicated by the lag behind the schedule. It is now difficult to expect improvement in the earnings. With asset management risk hovering at a high amount, the capital adequacy remains insufficient. Instability of market condition is now becoming increasingly likely to have negative impact on the earnings and broadly defined net assets of the Company. JCR will pay attention to the future developments.
