Ⅲ.Future and Beyond (Covid-19 effect).

<Japan Macro Environment>

The novel coronavirus postive patients have been rising sharply in April by mutant virus , but nation's death toll stay low. Both Osaka and Tokyo implemented Emergency Measures and discouraged intercity travel during long holiday weeks. This might affect negatively to Commercial and Hotel business in May.

However, most company workers still come to office premises. Office leasing, particularly mid-sized, is surprisingly stable.

Tokyo Olympic game is less than 100 days to go. Without foreign visitors and rising Coronavirus-positives, skepticism prevails although both officials and IOC insisted on proceeding events.

Funding environment is easy on corporate real estate both in volume and cost. With CAP rate in Tokyo CBD still going lower, and global investment money is around, transaction market still remains busy in Tokyo.

Our CBD office rent/sq has been flatamong our strategic portfolio shift to more city center location.

High street Ginza commercial tenants (top global brands) are all fixed rent and stable. Our vacancy rate keeps under 1%. Our operating hotelsbooked loss of Yen 2billion in Q1. Hotels in the big cities underperform but urban resorts are busy.

With CAP rate decline in central Tokyo officesand heavy stock of inventory balance of our Sales Asset, HULIC has enough source of capital gains in coming quarters.

  • Vaccine inoculation tends to be delayed in Japan. There are many uncertain macro factors to predict accurately of our future activities. To the best of our knowledge, we look for 10% around increase in OP and higher dividend payout ratio in FY2021. (37.8% in FY2020)

We still keep up our 3-yearmid-term business plan but stay selective stance for new investments and not particularly bind to use our investment budget. We, however, work on several sales-and lease back deals with good name companies. (END)
