TOKYO -- Nomura Holdings took a 101.2 billion yen ($930 million) consolidated net loss for the nine months through December, the company announced Thursday, as deteriorating profitability in the wholesale segment forces it to write off global investments, including the overseas operations of Lehman Brothers purchased a decade ago.
The loss is the Japanese financial services company's worst since April-December 2008, in the wake of the global financial crisis, when it took a 492.3 billion yen loss. Nomura booked a net profit of 196.6 billion yen for the same period last year.
