Business

Global Link Management, Inc., founded in 2005 and listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, is a real estate solutions company. Focusing primarily on the 23 wards of Tokyo, the company operates three businesses: its core business of new-build development and sales of ESG residences (under its proprietary brand "Artesimo"), the Regeneration Business (Office Buildings & Used Residence Renovation & Sales), and the Land Planning Business. Its main customers are corporate entities such as institutional investors and business companies, and it employs a whole-building bulk sales model. The group consists of four companies: G&G Community, a consolidated subsidiary responsible for building management and BM operations; AtPeak, a consolidated subsidiary responsible for DX and AI development; and SAGL Advisors, an equity-method affiliate responsible for AM operations.

Business Model

The company generates revenue by acquiring, developing, regenerating, and planning real estate, then selling it in bulk as whole buildings to institutional investors and corporate entities. In the Development Business, it achieves higher added value through ESG certification; in the Regeneration Business, it strategically secures a value-up period; and in the Land Planning Business, it achieves high capital efficiency by planning and selling land before construction. Funds for acquiring real estate for sale and real estate for sale in process are primarily raised through borrowings from financial institutions, and the company employs an asset-turnover model in which these borrowings are repaid using proceeds from sales.

Company Strengths

For FY2025 (December 2025), net sales reached ¥69,262 million (up 7.4% year on year), operating profit reached ¥7,436 million (up 29.7% year on year), and net income attributable to owners of parent reached ¥4,612 million (up 35.1% year on year), setting new record highs across all metrics. ROE stood at 34.8%, significantly exceeding the financial KPI target (25% or higher), demonstrating high capital efficiency.

Client institutional investors' Japanese real estate investment needs for 2025-2027 are estimated at approximately ¥3.3 trillion, while the company's supply plan for the same period remains at only approximately ¥250.0 billion, resulting in a structural supply-demand gap. This favorable sales environment supports stable revenue recognition.

For FY2025 (December 2025), all three businesses—Development, Land Planning, and Regeneration—exceeded their profit plans. The Land Planning Business achieved 22 sales against a sales KPI of 18, while the Regeneration Business achieved planned gross profit despite selling only 4 buildings versus a plan of 7, indicating steady progress in expanding the earnings model.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In Q1 FY2026 (fiscal year ending December 2026), revenue declined 7.2% year-on-year to ¥15,287 million, while the operating margin improved to 13.4% (versus 11.0% in the same period last year), indicating an improvement in earnings quality. However, total assets increased by ¥16,687 million in a single quarter, from ¥47,650 million at the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥64,337 million, and the equity ratio fell sharply from 31.3% to 23.1%. Real estate for sale in progress swelled to ¥43,768 million (up ¥19,747 million from the end of the previous fiscal year), and the risk of delayed inventory turnover warrants close monitoring.

Interest-bearing debt expanded sharply, with short-term borrowings of ¥12,426 million (up ¥4,482 million from the end of the previous fiscal year) and long-term borrowings of ¥29,774 million (up ¥11,199 million), while Q1 interest expenses rose 66% to ¥196 million (versus ¥118 million in the same period last year). As an external factor, if the rising interest rate environment continues, this could exert downward pressure on the achievement of the full-year ordinary profit forecast of ¥7,500 million (up 11.3% year-on-year). The company itself has noted that risks of cost escalation and delivery delays stemming from instability in the Middle East situation remain uncertain from the second half of FY2026 onward.

Against the full-year forecast (revenue of ¥75,000 million, operating profit of ¥8,500 million, and net income of ¥5,130 million), Q1 progress rates were 20.4% for revenue, 24.1% for operating profit, and 23.8% for net income. Since real estate development companies tend to be weighted toward the second half, these progress rates are at a favorable level for a standalone Q1 result. FY2026 (ending December 2026) marks the second year of the medium-term management plan

Growth Strategy

Toward achieving GLM100, the company aims for net sales of ¥100,000 million in FY2027 through expansion of its three core businesses, DX utilization, and diversification of asset types

Plans to deliver 758 units in FY2026 (ending December 2026). Completed 265 units (approximately 35%) in the first quarter, with approximately 75% of the remaining 493 units already under sales contract. Continuing to expand the model of bulk sales of environmentally conscious residences in Tokyo's 23 wards to institutional investors on a building-by-building basis.

Plans to sell 25 properties in FY2026 (ending December 2026), compared to actual sales of 22 properties in FY2025 (ended December 2025). Completed sales of 3 land planning properties in the first quarter, progressing in line with the initial plan. Continuing to expand earnings through the highly capital-efficient model.

Acquired 3 office buildings and 2 used residences in the first quarter. Sale of 1 building originally planned for the first quarter shifted to the second quarter, but the sales contract has already been executed, and overall progress is generally on track. Capturing demand recovery driven by the post-COVID return to office trend.

Began development and sale of urban hotels as an asset type beyond residences, creating a new revenue source. Aims to reduce dependency risk on specific assets by diversifying the earnings portfolio.

Aims to contribute to indirect and direct revenue through operational efficiency and DX enabled by AP-AI utilized by group company AtPeak. Expects full-scale revenue contribution from FY2027 (ending December 2027) onward.

The second year of the three-year plan (2025-2027) targeting net sales of ¥100,000 million and ordinary profit of ¥10,000 million under "GLM100." The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) (net sales of ¥75,000 million and ordinary profit of ¥7,500 million) remains unrevised and is on track with the plan.
