Recent Overview

Revenue and profit increased on higher property sales and new building openings; hotels partly declined due to closures

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), operating revenue was ¥616,959 million (up ¥78,126 million, or +14.5%, year on year) and operating profit was ¥135,677 million (up ¥11,016 million, or +8.8%, year on year), representing an increase in both revenue and profit. Office buildings saw overall revenue growth due to the commencement of operations at new buildings, and outlet malls saw revenue growth due to higher store sales. Hotels experienced a revenue decline due to temporary closures associated with renovations. Real estate sales revenue rose substantially to ¥198,720 million due to the sale of owned properties. Impairment losses for the period were omitted from disclosure due to their low materiality. For the following period (FY2027 (ending March 2027)), while continued strength in hotels and retail facilities is expected, profit is forecast to decline (operating revenue of ¥530,000 million, operating profit of ¥110,000 million) due to a decrease in gains on property sales.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Accumulation of office leasing revenue through the sequential commencement of operations at new buildings (office revenue outside Tokyo expanded from ¥65,732 million to ¥77,364 million)
• Increase in store sales at retail facilities and outlet malls amid expanding inbound demand (outlet mall revenue rose from ¥60,901 million to ¥63,220 million)
• Realization of real estate sales revenue (¥198,720 million) through the sale of owned properties such as office buildings
• Sequential commencement of operations at projects under development based on the Long-Term Management Plan 2030
• Improvement in earnings through recovery in occupancy rates following completion of hotel renovations

Risks

• Risk of correction of overheating in the real estate investment market due to rising interest rates and impact on cap rates
• Risk of rising vacancy rates due to changes in office demand (changes in corporate work styles, spread of telework)
• Risk of increased development costs due to soaring material prices and labor costs (a substantial expansion in the increase in tangible fixed assets, etc., to ¥207,881 million)
• Risk of timing mismatch in sales profit due to delays in property sale timing (profit is forecast to decline in the following period due to reduced gains on sales)
• Risk of temporary closures and revenue decline associated with hotel renovations, etc.
