  1. Business Performance

Matters concerning the future in this document are those judged by the Group as of the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Japanese economy showed signs of recovery, particularly in personal consumption and capital investment, as restrictions on economic and social activities eased while the impact of COVID-19 subsided. As for the global economy, there are concerns about stagflation caused by the prospect for the prolonged Ukraine issue, inflation and interest rate hikes in various countries, and the economic slowdown stemming from the lockdown in Shanghai, China.

In the real estate market, the average rent for June in the Tokyo Business District (5 wards of Central Tokyo: Chiyoda, Chuo, Minato, Shinjuku, and Shibuya) was 20,273 yen (unit price per tsubo), down for the 23rd consecutive month (total 2,741 yen / approximately 12%). The average vacancy rate for the same month mostly remained flat at 6.39% according to a survey by a private research institution, and the overall office market remained weak. Meanwhile in the real estate investment market, although institutional investors' demand remains high, the outlook remains unpredictable due to the global monetary tightening phase.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Group's core business, the Real Estate Revitalization Business, achieved high profitability and high-quality commercialization. As a result, sales of real estate for sale were steady, and sales in the Real Estate Service Business continued to show stable performance. In the Hotel Operation Business, which has been greatly affected by the pandemic of COVID-19, sales are on a recovery trend against the backdrop of increased demand due to the easing of restrictions on economic and social activities.

As a result, net sales amounted to 22,903 million yen (down 26.6% YoY), operating profit amounted to 6,668 million yen (down 9.2% YoY), ordinary profit amounted to 6,690 million yen (down 8.1% YoY), and profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to 4,690 million yen (down 2.3% YoY).

The results of each segment are as follows.

(Real Estate Revitalization Business)

In the Real Estate Revitalization Business, we are engaged in (i) Replanning Business and (ii) Rental Building Business.

  1. In the Replanning Business, we are performing all processes in-house, from purchasing buildings to planning renovations, tenant placement, sales and after-sales support. Sales in the current consolidated fiscal year were steady due to strong investor enthusiasm. As for purchases on the other hand, the Group proactively selects properties while monitoring the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations on the real estate market and interest rate trends. In commercialization, we aim to create offices that fit a hybrid working style and are sought-after even in the new normal, while anticipating changes in urban areas, offices and work styles. Through coordination with the leasing brokerage division, the Group promoted the attraction of tenants even during the COVID-19 pandemic and finished real estate products with high occupancy rates and high added value, thereby selling products that meet the expectations of a wide range of clients in Japan and overseas. In the Real Estate Revitalization Business in New York, we sold a commercialized property for the first time in order to meet the needs of our clients who wish to diversify their asset portfolios. In the Replanning Business, including this property in New York, the number of buildings sold increased by 2 year-on-year to 10. However, sales of relatively large-scale properties owned over the medium to long term decreased year-on-year. As a result, year-on-year net sales and profits decreased. However, throughout all quarterly net sales and profits for the segment, the

first quarter of the fiscal year under review marked the third highest level just behind the same period of the previous fiscal year.

  1. In the Rental Building Business, to build a stable revenue base as a "stock business", the Group will aim to increase rent income over the medium to long term by utilizing the operational capabilities accumulated in the real estate service division while increasing the number of rental buildings in the Replanning Business. Both net sales and profit were at the same level year-on-year.

As a result, net sales in the Real Estate Revitalization Business as a whole amounted to 18,582 million yen (down 32.3% YoY) and segment profit amounted to 7,087 million yen (down 13.9% YoY).

(Real Estate Service Business)

In the Real Estate Service Business, we are engaged in (i) Property Management Business, (ii) Building Maintenance Business, (iii) Sales Brokerage Business, (iv) Leasing Brokerage Business, (v) Conference Room Rental Business, and (iv) Rent Guarantee Business.

Each of these operating divisions is developing its businesses in the area of small to medium-sized office buildings in central Tokyo by gathering their expertise and working together. This is also the foundation for generating high profitability in the Replanning Business by creating added value through a chain reaction of expertise cultivated through originality and ingenuity in the field.

  1. In the Property Management Business, the Company has achieved high-occupancy and high- profitability building management by raising the satisfaction level of tenants through attentive property management, working with the leasing brokerage division to attract tenants, and working to revise the conditions for appropriate rents. As a result of growth in the number of managing buildings, both net sales and profits increased year-on-year.

  1. In the Building Maintenance Business, the Group is promoting collaboration with the property management division with its strength in high-rise cleaning of exterior windows and walls using swings, waterproofing work and exterior wall renovation work. As the number of new managing properties increased, both net sales and profits increased year-on-year.
  2. In the Sales Brokerage Business, as part of our real estate consulting services, we are responding quickly to requests for consultation from clients in other divisions such as the Property Management Business and Leasing Brokerage Business. The office building business division worked together to support building owners manage their buildings and succeeded in concluding sales brokerage contracts based on the trust it has built up. As sales brokerage towards investors in Japan and abroad were strong, both net sales and profits increased year-on-year.
  3. In the Leasing Brokerage Business, we have developed a service network based in 11 sites, mainly in central Tokyo, which functions as a window for consultation close to the local building owners. We are creating a new sense of value from our clients' perspective for product planning in the Replanning Business by reflecting tenants' needs and changes quickly learned at tenant leasing sites in research and proposals for optimal use of office space. Net sales increased year-on-year while profits remained at the same level as the previous fiscal year.
