What the company explained in this material
Self-assessment against the planThe company's self-assessment against its own plan.
Net sales through net income were broadly in line with plan. The development business is progressing steadily toward achieving its full-year plan.
Key points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
  1. Background to the increase in large-scale orders received in the development business and the potential for full-year upside: The company explained that it was receiving orders for projects with an average number of units exceeding the planned level of approximately 14–15 units.
  2. Timing of the contribution of contracted rent per unit to rent per occupied unit: The company responded that there is a time lag before new contract rates are reflected and that it would explain the full-year impact once it becomes clear.
  3. DX investment and its impact: The company is promoting AI-based sales support, the simplification and automation of operations, electronic contracts, and smart locks.
  4. Share buybacks in response to a major shareholder's sale of shares: The company explained that it would determine the timing where possible, taking into account its funds, retained earnings, and the restrictions on share buybacks.
  5. Partnership with Relo Estate: The partnership is intended to bridge the gap between demand and supply for furnished properties, and the company expects demand to expand.
  6. Rent paid to owners in connection with higher contracted rents: The company explained that it would respond based on local market conditions and property-specific factors, and that rents paid to owners would rise in some regions.

The reasons the company gives

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

The company attributed this performance to steady corporate demand, particularly demand for corporate contracts in the Tokyo metropolitan area and demand from foreign personnel, the effectiveness of its pricing strategy, and the impact of expanding its development business sales bases to Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka. Meanwhile, cost of sales increased due to enhanced property maintenance, while selling, general and administrative expenses rose as a result of increased investment in personnel and DX.
