  1. Recognition, analysis and contents for discussion of business environment and business performance

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Japanese economy continued to face a harsh environment due to the impact of COVID-19. While indications continue of an upturn in the domestic economy, it remains necessary to monitor factors such as economic downside risks due to the renewed spread of the virus in Japan and overseas, as well as movements in global financial markets.

In the real estate industry where Tosei Group operates, domestic real estate investments for the three months from January to March 2021 amounted to ¥1.2 trillion, decreasing by 28% year on year. However, Tokyo ranked second in the world ranking by city for the three months from January to March 2021, and it appears that investment demand remains high among overseas investors, who value Japan's highly stable real estate market. There are also signs of a recovery in the purchase and sale of office buildings, for which a decline in profitability was feared, and transactions are expected to be lively throughout 2021 (according to a survey by a private research institute).

In the Tokyo metropolitan area condominium market, the number of newly supplied units from January to April 2021 increased 57.5% year on year to 8,760 units. This appears to be the result of a rebound after a substantial decline under the state of emergency introduced in April last year. Since February 2021, the average contract rate for the first month has remained above the 70% threshold from which market conditions are viewed as favorable, and a steady recovery is underway. However, in the build-for-sale detached house market, housing starts for the three months from January to March 2021 numbered 12,000 units, a decrease of 6.0% year on year (according to a survey by a private research institute).

Regarding construction costs for the four months from January to April 2021, average costs per tsubo

for reinforced concrete structure were ¥915 thousand per tsubo (1 tsubo = 3.30 square meters) (an increase of 0.1% year on year), and average costs per tsubo for wooden structure were ¥567 thousand (an increase of 0.4% year on year). The current increase in the price of steel materials due to the global economic recovery, particularly in China, has raised fears of a future hike in construction costs (according to a survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism).

In the office leasing market of Tokyo's five business wards, the average vacancy rate as of April 2021 was 5.65% (an increase of 4.09 percentage points year on year), against the backdrop of tenants cutting back on office space as a result of the spread of teleworking lifestyle in certain areas, and a slowdown in expansion. The average asking rent was ¥21,415 per tsubo (a decrease of ¥1,405 year on year), which has continued to fall from August 2020, and it remains necessary to monitor future trends in supply and demand (according to a survey by a private research institute).

In the Tokyo metropolitan area's logistics facility leasing market, leasable stock in April 2021 amounted to 6.60 million tsubo (an increase of 9.5% year on year). The vacancy rate was 0.5%. Although this was a slight increase from the level of 0.2% observed in January 2021, supply remains tight. The vacancy rate is expected to remain low, with leasing activity progressing strongly overall (according to a survey by a private research institute).

In the real estate fund market, the market scale continues to expand. J-REIT assets under management in April 2021 totaled ¥20.7 trillion (an increase of ¥1.0 trillion year on year) and assets under management in private placement funds totaled ¥22.5 trillion (as of December 2020, an increase of ¥2.3 trillion year on year). Combining the two, the real estate securitization market scale grew to ¥43.2 trillion (according to a survey by a private research institute).

In the Tokyo business hotel market, the average guest room occupancy rate in the three months from January to March 2021 was 33.6%, due to the continuing impact of COVID-19. The total number of hotel guests in Tokyo encompassing all types of accommodation amounted to 7.04 million overnight stays (a decrease of 45.7% year on year). The environment is forecasted to remain harsh for the hotel market, despite the daily progress of vaccinations in Japan (according to a survey by the Japan Tourism Agency).

Amid this operating environment, in the Revitalization Business, the Group made steady progress in selling assets such as income-generating office buildings and apartments, while in the Development Business, the Group pushed ahead with sales of detached houses and logistics facilities. In addition, the Group also proceeded with the acquisition of income-generating properties and various types of land for development as future sources of income.

As a result, consolidated revenue for the six months ended May 31, 2021 totaled ¥40,932 million (down 9.1% year on year), operating profit was ¥9,232 million (up 325.4%), profit before tax was ¥8,959 million (up 373.8%), and profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥6,120 million (up 433.3%).

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, while ¥191,799 million was added due to new asset management contracts, ¥59,405 million was subtracted due mainly to property dispositions by funds, from the balance of assets under management (Note) ¥1,123,406 million for the end of the previous fiscal year. The balance of assets under management as of May 31, 2021, was ¥1,255,800 million.

As a result, revenue in this segment was ¥2,271 million (up 4.2% year on year) and the segment profit was ¥1,565 million (up 5.7%).

Note: The balance of assets under management includes the balance of assets that were subject to consulting contracts, etc.
