Executive summary

Returning to the growth path in with/ post-pandemic era

Stable asset management amid the pandemic

Credit improvement

(the 13th FP ended September 2021)

  • Continued strong performance of KRR's core tenants that deal with daily necessities, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Acquisition of new properties (4 properties for JPY 22.3 billion) through the 5th public offering conducted at the beginning of the 13th FP also contributed to the increase in revenue and profit
  • Achieved a record high of JPY 7,328 DPU(Note 1), due to the limited impact of the pandemic on rents as well as gains on sale of properties and cost reduction
  • Credibility enhanced, mainly due to Kenedix Group affiliated with Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing Group, diversification driven by AUM growth and stable management amid the pandemic
  • Long-termcredit rating outlook (JCR) was upgraded to "A+ (Positive)" in January 2021
  • Increased the number of lenders from 12 to 18, borrowing from 6 new lenders since the 13th FP
  • Borrowing conditions also improved along with the enhanced credibility

Aim for enhanced stability and sustainable growth in anticipation of post-pandemic era

  • Some tenants, mainly service-oriented tenants(Note 2), are taking time to recover their sales amid the pandemic; however, there are signs of recovery following the lifted state of emergency
  • Seek to improve the quality and profitability of portfolio by continuous asset and tenant reshuffling, and aim for growth through public offering at appropriate timing
  • Set mid-term stabilized DPU and AUM targets at JPY 7,000 and JPY 340 billion, respectively, in response to the recovery of unit price to the pre- COVID level
  • Aim to reduce funding costs by diversifying financing methods and lenders, in addition to upgrading to "AA-" credit rating
  • Newly set up Sustainability Committee and Sustainability Office to further promote ESG initiatives

Note 1: DPU of the first FP was JPY 7,414, but the asset management period covered 233 days.

Note 2: Refer to tenants not engaged in sale of goods, such as restaurants.
