    「なお、当期は物件売却が第2四半期までに集中したことから第3四半期連結会計期間の利益水準は相対的に低くなっておりますが、当社グループの四半期業績は、物件の売却時期等により大きく変動するため、事業計画を年間で作成・管理しております。」

    物件売却が第2四半期までに集中し、第3四半期の利益水準が相対的に低くなったことにより、売却時期による四半期業績変動が実績として示された。
  2. FY2026-H1RestatedAnnual report

    「The quarterly results of our group fluctuate significantly depending on the timing of property sales and other factors, so we prepare and manage our business plan on an annual basis.」

  3. FY2025RestatedAnnual report

    「Given the nature of its business, the Group's performance is affected by various external factors, including macroeconomic trends such as real estate market conditions and the decision-making of transaction counterparties. In particular, because individual real estate investment transactions are relatively large, the success or failure of specific purchase and sale transactions and the timing of their completion affect profit or loss for the period, meaning that the Group's performance tends to fluctuate significantly over the short term.」

    The risk that profit or loss for the period may fluctuate significantly over the short term depending on the success or failure and timing of individual real estate transactions has been reconfirmed in the explanation of the dividend policy.
  4. FY2025-H1RestatedAnnual report

    「During the second quarter of the current consolidated cumulative period, measures to improve the profitability of the rental properties held by the Group were implemented, and rental income increased. However, because there was no large, high-margin property sale like that in the same period of the previous year, net sales came to ¥3,455 million, down 68.8% year on year, and operating profit came to ¥1,073 million, down 65.6%.」

    Because there was no large, high-margin property sale like that in the same period of the previous year, net sales and operating profit in the investment banking business declined significantly, and the risk of performance fluctuations due to the timing of property sales was reflected in actual performance.

    The factor of having few property sales, relating to fluctuations in the timing and number of sales, was reflected in quarterly performance as a 77.0% decline in investment banking net sales and a 77.6% decline in operating profit.

    「When the Group acquires or sells investment assets through funds managed by the Group or through proprietary investments, substantial profit or loss may be recorded from fees associated with the acquisitions or sales, including acquisition fees, disposition fees and incentive fees, as well as gains or losses on sales. In addition, because investment-asset acquisitions and sales are conducted after taking market conditions into account, their timing may become concentrated in particular periods.」
