「The Company primarily provides services focused on the self-storage business. Accordingly, it is susceptible not only to changes in economic and social conditions, including economic trends, interest rates and real estate prices, but also to fluctuations in the self-storage industry as a whole, demand trends among facility users and legal regulations concerning self-storage operations. If the investment market stagnates because of a deteriorating economic outlook, including for the self-storage industry, a substantial rise in interest rates or an oversupply of facilities, the number of facility users may decline, rent and facility-use fee delinquencies may increase, sales periods for self-storage facilities may lengthen, and completed inventory may increase, potentially materially affecting the Company’s operating results, financial condition and other matters.」
Reconfirms the risk of growth constraints and the related transmission channels arising from economic conditions, interest rates, real estate prices, demand trends, regulation and an oversupply of facilities. - FY2022RestatedAnnual report
「To address these risks, the Company regularly monitors economic trends, real estate market conditions and other factors, while seeking to reduce risk by developing market insight suited to each area, scale, use and property characteristics, and by strengthening its investment decision-making and leasing capabilities.」
Maintains the risk of growth constraints arising from economic conditions, interest rates, real estate market conditions and an oversupply of facilities, and identifies monitoring and stronger investment decision-making and leasing capabilities as countermeasures. - FY2020WorsenedAnnual report
「If the investment market stagnates because of a deteriorating economic outlook, a substantial rise in interest rates or an oversupply of facilities, the number of facility users may decline, rent and facility-use fee delinquencies may increase, sales periods for self-storage facilities may lengthen, and completed inventory may increase, potentially materially affecting the Company’s operating results, financial condition and other matters.」
In addition to the conventional economic and regulatory risks facing the industry, specifies the transmission channels through higher interest rates, an oversupply of facilities, a stagnant investment market, increased delinquencies, longer sales periods and higher completed inventory. - FY2018RestatedAnnual report
「In particular, moves are under way to require building confirmation for container-type self-storage facilities as structures, which could hinder self-storage operators from actively expanding their facilities. Even if the Company increases its service adoption rate at properties owned by existing operators or succeeds in acquiring new operators, its growth may reach a limit unless the industry as a whole continues to grow.」
Continues to identify the building confirmation issue for container-type facilities and the growth ceiling if industry growth stalls as risks. - FY2018-Q1RestatedAnnual report

Links the building confirmation issue for container-type facilities to obstacles to facility expansion and a growth ceiling if industry growth stalls, describing the potential impact in more specific and serious terms. - FY2017-Q2RestatedAnnual report
「During the cumulative six-month period, the self-storage industry was affected by building confirmation requirements and other regulations concerning container-type self-storage facilities, particularly in urban areas. However, small operators, particularly in regional areas, continued to enter the container-type self-storage market actively.」
States that the impact of building confirmation requirements and other regulations on container-type self-storage facilities continues to be evident. The industry had already been affected as of the first quarter, and this filing reconfirms that situation. - FY2017-Q1MaterialisedAnnual report
「Although the impact of tighter regulations, including building confirmation requirements, on container-type self-storage facilities has continued from the previous fiscal year」

Accordingly, fluctuations in the self-storage industry as a whole, including changes in demand, and legal regulations concerning the installation, opening and operation of self-storage facilities could materially affect its operating results, financial condition and other matters.」
States that, because it is focused on a single industry, fluctuations in industry demand and regulations governing the installation, opening and operation of facilities may affect operating results and financial condition.
