Financial Results Presentation for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending November 2026

For the cumulative 3Q period of the fiscal year ending November 2026, gross profit, operating profit, ordinary profit and net income were all substantially higher than in the same period of the previous year, mainly because the investment banking business recorded gains on property sales. Meanwhile, rental income and profit from the investment management business declined, and the company has left its full-year forecast unchanged.

The reasons the company gives

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

The main factors behind the increase in profit were higher gains on property sales in the investment banking business and the recognition of gains on the transfer of fixed assets as extraordinary income. Rental income declined because income from MC contracts fell away following the sale of hotels.
