Business Plan and Growth Potential

The focus is shifting from the previous strategy centered on flow revenue generated through development and sales to a hybrid model that accumulates rental income by holding container-type properties and other assets in-house. The former “Profit Enhance 2027” has been replaced with a medium-term management plan, which sets out an earnings plan for the fiscal year ending January 2027 and target revenue composition through the fiscal year ending January 2029.

Intensifying competition

Rising construction costs and shortages of construction materials
Reason for revision or withdrawal

Precisely because the Company now has a strong foundation in flow revenue, it is at a stage where it must build a “second earnings base (stock revenue)” that is less affected by market fluctuations in order to further enhance corporate value and stabilize management. It is an urgent priority to build a management stabilizer in the form of stock revenue, rather than allowing the success of the flow business to be a one-off achievement.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Although flow revenue has delivered strong results, revenue volatility driven by real estate market conditions and interest rate trends remains a challenge to management stability. The Company will build stock revenue as a second earnings base that is less affected by market fluctuations, thereby establishing a stable management foundation.
