Summary of Financial Results for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

For the interim period of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue and operating profit increased, driven by steady progress on construction projects, an increase in large-scale property transactions, and growth in the number of properties under management. However, interim net income attributable to owners of the parent declined due to foreign exchange losses and other factors. The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, while the annual dividend forecast has been raised to ¥150 from the previous fiscal year's actual dividend of ¥140.

Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Steady progress on construction projects, an increase in large-scale property transactions driven by a focus on corporate transactions, solid trends in brokerage, renewal and property management fees and maintenance revenue accompanying growth in the number of properties under management, and strong performance in the hotel and leisure business. Ordinary profit was affected by foreign exchange losses, while profit in the publishing and cultural business was affected by upfront investment and soaring printing costs.

The reasons the company gives

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

In the construction business, projects progressed steadily. In the property sales brokerage business, the number of large-scale transactions handled increased as the company focused on corporate transactions. In the rental brokerage and property management business, fee and maintenance revenue remained solid as the number of properties under management increased, while the hotel and leisure business performed well. Growth in ordinary profit was constrained by the recording of foreign exchange losses, while in the publishing and cultural business, upfront investment to expand comic publishing and soaring printing costs weighed on profit.
