2. Reason for revision

With the slogan "Technology × Innovation Create a world-leading company where innovation creates excitement for people" as Our Ambition, the Company has operated the "RENOSY," an Online Real Estate transaction marketplace, in order to realize Online Real Estate, and the Company has conducted Real Estate transactions utilizing IT technology.

In the real estate investment area, the Company's Online Real Estate transactions and data-based, objective Real Estate proposals garnered support from users. As a result, the Company established itself as a leading company in the "Online Real Estate." The number of condominiums sold for investment prized the No. 1 position in net sales for the third consecutive year (*1).

In addition, the Company has promoted DX for the entire Real Estate industry by providing SaaS for Real Estate businesses through ITANDI, Inc. ("ITANDI") in Group Companies. ITANDI offers its excellent products for the electronic tenant application in Real Estate rent, that boasts the highest number of service users for the second consecutive year (*2). The Company as the group has expanded our market share in both businesses and achieved revenue growth.

Under these circumstances, while continuing to map out revenue's growth path, the Company made selective and focused efforts in the second half of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, focusing on RENOSY Marketplace, our core business, and the ITANDI business. As a result, the Company made improvements in revenues and costs through such initiatives as proactive investment in R&D and system development. At the RENOSY Marketplace, forecasted profits will improve due to various commissions improvement measures implemented in the past and the management integration with Ricordi.Inc. (*3). In addition, in ITANDI, as market needs increased ahead of the enforcement of the revised Residential Land and buildings Transaction Act in May 2022, there were many inquiries for products and Services. In addition, the number of companies that obtained high ratings (*4) for products and Services has increased. As a result, forecasted monthly recurring revenue (MRR) has improved and profits have increased.

As a result, EBITDA, operating profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent are expected to exceed the initial forecast.

The reason for the decision to leave the initial plan unchanged for revenue is that considering the balance between top-line growth and profits in online transactions at RENOSY Marketplace, the Company is concentrating resources on highly profitable products, and expects that sales growth will be limited to its profit growth.
