Financial Performance Overview for the

Fiscal Year Ended March 2024

Excluding the reactionary decline in COVID-19-related rental special demand in the previous fiscal year, Operating Profit increased due to growth of leases and installment sales, and exceeded initial forecasts. Net income declined due to Extraordinary loss (loss on valuation of investment securities) of 5.1 billion yen.

2. Operating assets stood at 1,116.5 billion yen

(Increased 26.2 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year).

Investment business primarily related to real estate grew and operating assets increased.

3. Net sales are forecast to rise and profit is forecast to rise in the

fiscal year ending March 2025.

Gross profit before deducting Financial Expenses is expected to increase mainly from leases and installment sales.
