3. Basis for Calculation of Forecasts for Total Distributions and Distribution per Unit for the 19th
Fiscal Period and 20th Fiscal Period
(1) Distribution Policy
(i) With the amount where the amount equivalent to capital expenditure is deducted from the amount equivalent to depreciation and amortization as the upper limit, the amount which will be decided by DHI will be reversed from internal reserves (18.4 billion yen as of the end of August 2014) and used to add to net income.
Furthermore, as of today it is DHI's policy for the time being to set the target of the amount to be added to each fiscal period's net income to be the amount equivalent to 10% the amount equivalent to depreciation and amortization of each fiscal period. However, this amount to be added is subject to change with due consideration to the external environment such as the financial economy, the overall situation of the J-REIT market, the situation of DHI's owned assets and its financial situation, etc.
(ii) Stabilization (Note) of distributions will be aimed for by reversing internal reserves in case net income falls below the initially expected amount due to extraordinary losses such as loss from disposition of properties, in case of the dilution of distribution due to capital increase, in case sufficient revenues could not be secured due to short operation periods of properties acquired during a fiscal period along with a capital increase, or in the case of extraordinary expenses such as issuance expenses arising.
(iii) In case the operating performance results fall below forecasts, stabilization (Note) of distributions will be aimed by reversing internal reserves for the portion of the operating performance results that were lower than forecasts.
Furthermore, DHI's reversals of internal reserves are reversals of internal reserves (reserve in preparation of distribution) and do not fall under distributions in excess of earnings (return of unitholders' capital).
(Note) Under the new distribution policy, DHI has the policy to stabilize distributions. However, it is not intended as a guarantee or promise of the forecast distribution amounts.This document is a press release to make a public announcement of the revision of operation status forecasts for the 19th Fiscal Period (ending August 31, 2015) and operation status forecasts for the 20th Fiscal Period (ending February
