Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Third-Quarter Financial Results

The company explained that the main factors behind the third-quarter decline in profit and lower gross profit margin were the seasonality of property sales, the project mix, and an increase in overseas borrowings. Fourth-quarter property sales are generally progressing as planned, and the company expects to absorb the impact of some Dubai projects being pushed back due to the situation in the Middle East through domestic hotel and logistics projects.

The reasons the company gives

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

The decline in profit for the third quarter alone reflects the nature of the business, in which revenue from property sales and deliveries is concentrated in the fourth quarter. The lower gross profit margin was attributable to the project mix, including the asset types and locations of projects being monetized, rather than primarily to higher construction costs or interest rates. The increase in interest expense was mainly due to higher borrowings for overseas projects. Some Dubai projects will be pushed back due to the situation in the Middle East, but the company expects to absorb the impact through domestic hotel and logistics projects.
