II. CEO Message

Consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021

Record high net sales and income for the ninth consecutive year

As for the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, the Group achieved significant growth with net sales of 810.5 billion yen (up 40.7% year on year) and ordinary income of 101.1 billion yen (up 62.7% year on year). In particular, net sales jumped at once from 575.9 billion yen for the previous fiscal year to 810.5 billion yen, reflecting three upward revisions of financial forecasts from the initially forecasted net sales of 634.0 billion yen.

The strong performance was mainly driven by the strong net sales from the single-family homes related business of 446.9 billion yen (up 17.7% year on year).

The demand for single-family homes has been high in urban areas where the number of households is increasing due to the rising prices and declining supply of newly-built condominiums, which started several years ago.

In addition, the spread of the new lifestyle under the COVID-19 pandemic has brought more attention to single-family homes as they better meet needs such as for securing a working place to work from home. As a result, sales of single-family homes remained strong.

In January 2021, the Company acquired shares of PRESSANCE CORPORATION, accounting for 64.45% of the aggregate number of voting rights, and converted it to a consolidated subsidiary. As a result, PRESSANCE CORPORATION has contributed to the consolidated financial results of the Company from the second quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 onwards.

Mid-term Business Plan

"Ikouze 1 cho, 2023!" - "Jump to 1 trillion, 2023!"

Toward the achievement of the management targets set by the Mid-term Business Plan "Ikouze 1 cho, 2023!" - "Jump to 1 trillion, 2023!" (from October 2020 to September 2023), the Group raised the net sales target for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, the final year of the Plan, by 250.0 billion yen from 800.0 billion yen announced in November 2020 to 1.05 trillion yen through two upward revisions.

Solid demand is expected for real estate for actual use, which is handled by the single-family homes related business (our core business) and the condominium business. In addition, real estate for investment, which is handled by the property resale business and the U.S. real estate business in others segment, is also expected to benefit from sustained demand on the back of the continued easy monetary policy. In such a business environment, the Group will aim to achieve balanced growth through portfolio management that consists of both real estate for actual use and real estate for investment.

Initiatives for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021

We aim to achieve net sales of 920.0 billion yen.

In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, the Group aims to achieve net sales of 920.0 billion yen (up 13.5% year on year) by further expanding its businesses in all segments, centered on the single-family homes related business.

- 2 -

In the single-familyhomes-related business, we will increase our market share in the existing Tokyo metropolitan, Nagoya and Fukuoka areas while expanding our business into Kansai area. We will also aim at continued growth of the business by taking advantage of the Group's strength of the integrated system from land purchase to construction and sales while strengthening cooperation with group companies.

In the condominiums business, we will strive to return to growth, especially of condominiums with compact room layouts targeted at single- or two-person households in convenient locations in urban areas.

In the property resale business, as the demand for income-generating real estate properties is expected to be strong against the backdrop of the continued easy monetary policy, we will aim to continue to achieve further growth.

In the U.S. real estate business in others segment, we will strengthen the sales of secondhand single-family homes and other properties in the U.S. to Japanese corporations and wealthy individuals as pure investment products mainly for diversified asset allocation.

PRESSANCE CORPORATION will focus on the development of studio apartments in the Tokyo metropolitan area as well as its existing areas including Kansai area, leveraging the ample real estate information collected by the Group.

Through the above initiatives, we once again aim to achieve record high net sales and income for the tenth consecutive year in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021.

Shareholder return

The Company planned to pay a year-end dividend of 62 yen per share for the fiscal year ended September 2021.

Based on the plan mentioned above, the full-year dividend for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 is 112 yen per share (consisting of an interim dividend of 50 yen per share and a year-end dividend of 62 per share), an increase of 32 yen per share from the previous fiscal year.
