Business

RISE Inc. is a real estate company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, originally founded in 1947 as Yoshida Construction Industry Co., Ltd. and renamed to its current trade name in 2009. Its business consists of two segments: Real Estate Leasing and Real Estate Management. In the Real Estate Leasing segment, the company leases amusement facilities, employee dormitories, and similar properties to corporate clients. In the Real Estate Management segment, the company has expanded the number of properties under management contracts by entering into asset advisory agreements with multiple limited liability companies through its consolidated subsidiary FRE Asset Management Co., Ltd. (to be excluded from consolidation in June 2026). Major customers include Tengai Co., Ltd. (31.0% of net sales) and SUMCO Corporation, among other corporate clients. Although revenue remains small at ¥433 million, profitability has continued to improve.

Business Model

In Real Estate Leasing, the company earns rental income by entering into long-term lease agreements with corporate clients for properties it owns. In Real Estate Management, the company earns management fees by taking on outsourced management from property owners, driving up occupancy rates through renovation and repair proposals. The segment profit margin for Real Estate Management is high at approximately 42%, forming a structure in which it drives overall company earnings while offsetting the segment loss in Real Estate Leasing.

Company Strengths

Real Estate Management posted a segment margin of approximately 42% (revenue of ¥258 million, segment profit of ¥109 million), a high level that secured consolidated operating profit of ¥47 million even as the leasing business recorded a segment loss of ¥17 million. Backed by the accumulation of management outsourcing contracts, Real Estate Management revenue for the FY2026 (ending March 2026) period is on an expansionary trend, up 22.3% year on year.

The company has entered into multiple long-term contracts that secure the stability of its rental income, including a lease agreement with Tengai Co., Ltd. (concluded in 2006, running through August 2026), an employee dormitory lease agreement with SUMCO Corporation (running through March 2026), and a fixed-term land lease agreement for business use with Chitose Distillery LLC (running through July 2033).

FRE Asset Management Co., Ltd. has a track record of concluding asset advisory agreements with more than 20 limited liability companies (godo kaisha) since 2019, starting with FVP LLC and most recently including Albano LLC in May 2026. Each agreement has no fixed term (cancellable with 30 days' prior notice), enabling continuous expansion of the management outsourcing portfolio.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Net income of ¥50 million (up ¥41 million year-on-year) appears to represent a substantial improvement, but closer examination of the breakdown reveals that extraordinary gains totaling ¥46 million—comprising a ¥31 million gain on sale of fixed assets and ¥15 million in insurance proceeds received—contributed significantly. On an ordinary income basis, the figure was only ¥48 million, and operating income of ¥47 million (operating margin of 10.9%) more closely reflects the company's core earning power. Given the low likelihood of recurrence of these extraordinary gains and the divergence from next fiscal year's forecast (an operating loss of ¥6 million), caution is warranted against regarding the current net income level as reflecting sustained earning capacity.

The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) projects revenue of ¥260 million (down 40.0% year-on-year) and an operating loss of ¥6 million, indicating a substantial deterioration. The company explains that this forecast incorporates a "transfer of shares involving a change in consolidated subsidiaries, premised on the successful completion of the tender offer by JTM Holdings," suggesting that the primary driver is the loss of revenue associated with the divestiture of subsidiaries. Investors should carefully verify the underlying assumptions of the forecast, including which subsidiaries are affected and the magnitude of the impact on revenue.

In calculating net assets per share, the preferred share paid-in amount of ¥3,122 million and cumulative preferred dividends of ¥906 million (up ¥183 million from ¥723 million in the previous period) are deducted, resulting in net assets attributable to common shares of negative ¥2,328 million, a substantial deficit. For the current period, a dividend of ¥61.75 per share, totaling ¥385 million, is planned for Class A preferred shares (contingent on the successful completion of the tender offer), while returns to common shareholders remain at zero. The fact that the existence of preferred shares significantly constrains the economic rights of common shareholders represents an important risk factor for investment decisions.

Growth Strategy

Rebuilding the earnings base through expansion of managed properties under outsourcing and new leasing income from a subsequent event

Through the conclusion of new management outsourcing contracts and property replacements, Real Estate Management segment revenue in FY2026 (ending March 2026) is expected to expand to ¥258 million, up ¥47 million year on year. Segment profit of ¥109 million (profit margin of approximately 42%) has been achieved, and the policy is to maintain and strengthen the structure whereby expansion of outsourced properties translates directly into profit.

Pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors dated April 22, Reiwa 8, the Company entered into a fixed-term building lease agreement (5-year term) to lease land, buildings, and a parking lot located in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, to Seitsu Shoji Co., Ltd. for a monthly rent of ¥10 million (excluding tax). The lease is scheduled to commence on August 2, 2026, and is expected to generate new annual rental income of ¥120 million (excluding tax), which may contribute to eliminating the segment loss in the Real Estate Leasing business.

The Company plans to express its opinion in favor of the tender offer by JTM Holdings while remaining neutral on shareholders' decision to tender, and to transfer shares involving a change in consolidated subsidiary status. The next fiscal year's earnings forecast (net sales of ¥260 million, operating loss of ¥6 million) incorporates this series of transactions, and recovery of profitability in the remaining businesses after the restructuring will be a medium-term challenge.
