- Questions Is revenue seasonal? / Answer Recurring revenue is not seasonal and accumulates as new properties are completed. Flow-based revenue may fluctuate depending on the timing of design and construction work and sales of properties held for sale.
- Questions What is the impact of interest rates? / Answer Income gains are the main source of returns, and the impact is limited because redevelopment projects have shorter completion periods and lower total project costs than new construction projects.
- Questions What is the property-holding policy? / Answer The acquisition category is determined based on the characteristics of each property and the financial balance, and properties may be sold to rebalance the portfolio. After a sale, the company seeks to generate recurring revenue through ML or PM contracts.
- Questions What are the growth metrics? / Answer The company focuses on improving operating income and the operating margin, increasing the number of profitable properties held and ML properties, and maintaining the occupancy rate.
- Questions Are dividends planned? / Answer No dividends are planned at present, and growth is being prioritized during the investment phase. The company intends to begin paying dividends before too long.

Items this document does not state (11)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The increase in operating income was driven by steady growth in gross profit from recurring revenue, which exceeded the increase in fixed costs. While flow gross profit included one completed and delivered project and one property sale in the first quarter, upfront investment reflected the costs of acquiring 6 projects in the first half. Revenue is affected by the timing of design and construction work and sales of properties held for sale, which can cause flow-based revenue to fluctuate, as well as by the status of openings and sales of newly acquired properties.
