Meeting Challenges: The Seibu Group
Service Transformation that Leverages Our Customer Base
Converting daily life into data to offer transportation services that meet each person'expectations
SAEKI Tatsuya
Marketing Department, Seibu Railway
As the needs and behaviors of consumers living along Seibu rail lines diversify post-COVID, what can a transportation business operator do to meet their needs? One answer is our passenger points service. We developed a service that utilizes movement data linked with member information to award points according to conditions. Gathering and analyzing information about customers and their behaviors through their daily usage of buses and railways, we do more than just award points. We also use it to communicate information and offers that provide value tailored to each individual customer, for improving our services and creating new services. As a result, customers grow even more inclined to use services provided by the Seibu Group. Positive cycles such as these between customers and our corporate Group are what I hope to create.
Performing at a high level and becoming the hotel operator of choice for both customers and
hotel owners
OSAKI Seiya
General Manager,
Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay, Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide
For the Seibu Group which is shifting business models in the Hotel and Leisure business, operating Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay is a highly meaningful challenge that could become a key inroad domestically. Together with our hotel staff, we will bring inspiration to even more customers leveraging the services expertise and brand developed throughout our history with Prince Hotels to this point. As professionals in hotel operations, we will also generate returns that exceed owners' expectations. I believe that proving we can achieve those things repeatedly is the only way to gain the trust of customers and owners.

KAWADA Takeshi
Urban Development Division, Seibu Realty Solutions
From being a "commuter town" to becoming a "town for living" : That is the theme of urban development in Tokorozawa. In these city streets overflowing with all types of charm, with history, nature, sports and more, we are embarking on a project to develop a shopping center that will be a major regional draw, generating experiences, enjoyment, and interaction only possible in a physical setting.
From local communities and government to the Seibu Group itself and everyone involved in the project, hopes are riding high for this final piece of the puzzle in the development engineered by the Seibu Group. With the opening of these facilities, we aim to nurture a neighborhood where people can spend time that lives up to their own imaginations while enjoying Tokorozawa's distinctive combination of urban and suburban charm. It will be a neighborhood that brings together people who reside, work, and travel in the area to form a single inclusive community of its own.
Unlocking the maximum potential of forests to create sustainable society and communities
YODA Mayuko
Business Development Department, Seibu Landscape
How will the Seibu Group confront the formidable challenge of carbon neutrality? The key to that lies in the vast areas of forests owned by the Seibu Group in areas throughout Japan. We are gathering and compiling data on the company-owned forests handed down through our Group over the years to create visualizations of its environmental value which we will then spotlight. These forests have environmental conservation and cultural functions that we will sufficiently utilize. At the same time, we will also use them to generate cycles of resources and energy. This includes using forest industry materials as fuel to generate power or in boilers. I would like to work hand-in-hand with local communities and other stakeholders and with society to take on this challenge, turn these concepts into reality, and link them to future generations.

this manner. Aside from that, we are also bolstering our digital management efforts which include building a Group marketing platform, and accelerating initiatives toward
a decarbonized society such as setting CO2 emissions reduction targets.
Revamping the management profiles of the Group's core four companies to pursue rejuvenated management and stronger specialization
These reforms have produced effects that helped us achieve positive profitability in each quarter of the fiscal year ended March 2023. Having achieved that, we then set out toward our next growth phase by transitioning to new management profiles. Our aim was to rejuvenate and consolidate expertise in management profiles throughout the Group.
On April 1, 2023, I assumed the role of Chairman, Representative Director, and CEO. On the same day, NISHIYAMA Ryuichiro became my successor as the president, Representative Director, and COO. Mr. Nishiyama is responsible for business execution and some external activities. As CEO, I will be guiding continuous growth of the Group from a broad, long-term perspective.
"Bringing smiles to both our customers and employees" along with"Smiles ahead"
As the head of our management, I have consistently been trying to embody our Group Vision which was formulated in 2006. In order to bring smiles to customers, each and every person in our Group must be a professional who crafts the very best services and conceives novel types of business that continuously provide customers with new inspiration and joy. To achieve that, our Group will be working harder than ever on human capital development to raise the bar even higher for our human capital. Our energy will be focused on developing high-expertise personnel and management personnel who challenge themselves to create services and businesses that only the Seibu Group can offer. At the same time, we will also continue our efforts to create workplace environments that enable our employees to harness their full capabilities. To turn our Group slogan "Smiles ahead" into a reality, one critical mission for me going forward is "Bringing smiles to both our customers and employees" by boosting employees' capabilities and
job satisfaction.
In addition, two key issues that I intend to work on as CEO over the medium- to long-term are restoring the tourism industry and environmental problems. The tourism
Building platforms for new, continuous growth after the largest crisis our Group ever faced in the pandemic
I have been involved in management at the Seibu Group for over 18 years. Our Group has faced a number of crises during that time, from losing credibility when we were delisted the year before I joined management to the financial crisis in fall 2008 and the Great East Japan Earthquake
in March 2011. However, no crisis since the end of World War II has been as severe for our Group as the COVID-19 pandemic that has lasted over three years since 2020.
Demand completely evaporated in an instant in the Hotel and Leisure segment when the pandemic struck. Beyond that, demand also plummeted in the Urban Transportation and Regional segment which had previously been a highly stable revenue base. Particularly during the fiscal year ended March 2021 when stay-at-home directives were harshest, we were unable to avoid posting our first business loss since the financial crisis in the fiscal year ended March 2009.
The light at the end of the COVID tunnel has finally come into view since 2023 began, but there will always be a possibility that another such pandemic could occur again in the future. Add in factors such as the increasingly frequent occurrences of natural disasters due to climate change and continuously soaring resource and energy prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the business environment looks increasingly uncertain.
Setting our sights on this era of the unknown referred to as "VUCA," we enacted bold management reforms under the theme of "resilience and sustainability," based on the Seibu Group's Medium-term Management Plan (FY 2021- FY 2023). This theme was also the focus of the global summit held in November 2022 by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
Specifically, we implemented swift measures to increase our resilience to changes in the environment through asset- light business operations. These included transferring
and securitizing some of our real estate, hotel, and leisure assets, as well as transferring our stock holdings of Seibu Construction. As a result, we restored our equity-to-asset ratio from the 17% range in fiscal 2020 to the 23% range in fiscal 2023, greatly improving our financial standing which had suffered due to the pandemic. "Asset-light" is a strategy not only for making ourselves more resistant to changes
in the environment, but also for achieving growth that is sustainable. For example,
we switched business models in the hotels business operated by Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide from ownership and operations to a management contracts (MCs) model, enabling us to operate more flexibly and nimbly. On the other hand, we consolidated group-owned assets at Seibu Realty Solutions (SRS) where we will leverage extensive knowledge in effectively utilizing, developing, and managing real estate to maximize value. We reorganized our businesses to pursue sustainable business growth by harnessing the specializations of each Seibu Group company in precisely
Mr. NISHIYAMA has spent many years handling public relations and corporate planning for our Group. In addition to his leadership skills,
I am confident that his honesty, fairness, and the high esteem with which he is regarded make him the ideal selection as our COO.
Additionally, OGAWA Shuichiro who has extensive
experience at railway worksites and has served many years as general manager of transportation has been appointed as President of Seibu Railway. KANEDA Yoshiki, who has experience in overseas hotel operations as a professional handling business in MCs, has been appointed as President of Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide. Real estate business expert SAITO Tomohide who has extensive experience in asset business was appointed President of SRS in June 2022. Thus, new Presidents have taken over at all of the core four companies in the past two years.
Based on these new organizational profiles geared toward rejuvenation and expertise, we can fully harness the expertise of each company. One example would be to leverage the powerful real estate deployment capabilities of SRS to pursue greater value for the areas around Seibu Railway lines. Doing so, we believe we can maximize synergies within the Group and achieve an even higher level of overall optimization.
industry suffered tremendous damage from the COVID pandemic. For Japan, where the population is aging and the birthrate declining, restoring the tourism industry including inbound tourism is a key social issue. Overcoming this issue will be indispensable for energizing communities and creating jobs in the future. Our Group operates a diverse range of tourist businesses in some of Japan's premiere resort areas such as Karuizawa, Hakone, and Furano, and central areas of Tokyo such as Shinagawa and Takanawa. Leveraging these assets along with our business know- how, we will pace the sustained development of the tourism industry while helping to energize local communities. On the other hand, forests and wilderness comprise roughly 70% of our Group's vast 100 million square meters of real estate holdings. We will cherish this abundance of nature as
we accelerate our eco-friendly resort development and carbon neutrality initiatives.
The Seibu Group will continue its quest to create services and businesses with new value by harnessing the high-level expertise of each individual employee. As expressed in our Group Vision, we will aim to be the best and strongest corporate group at enriching people's lives by working to help develop the local communities, as well as society at large, by protecting the environment, and by providing safe, pleasant services for memorable experiences. We will achieve continuous growth by "Bringing smiles to both our customers and employees" in addition to "Smiles ahead." To all our stakeholders, we look forward to your continued support.
