Company profile
Our company was founded in April 1999, starting with real estate sales and brokerage. In 2001, we began our core business of real estate revitalization, conducting the Replanning Business® to transform office buildings to meet the needs of the times and reduce the waste of non-renewable resources. We have specialized departments within the company, including tenant attraction (leasing) and management (property management), and we operate office building businesses in collaboration with group companies in the construction, building maintenance, and rent guarantee sectors. Since 2015, leveraging the know-how gained from real estate revitalization, we have started hotel development and operation businesses. Currently, we are expanding our overseas business, including condominium projects in Vietnam and apartment revitalization projects in New York.

Business Structure
Our business is comprised of four segments: Real Estate Revitalization, Real Estate Services, Hotel and Tourism, and Others (including Overseas and Construction businesses).
Recent Performance(FY2024/03)
The core business of real estate revitalization has driven our performance due to steady progress in sales. Additionally, the real estate services business has steadily increased its performance, creating stable income as a stock-type business. Furthermore, the acquisition of properties in the Replanning Business has progressed to record levels, steadily accumulating inventory that will contribute to revenue generation in the next fiscal year and beyond. In the Hotel and Tourism Business, the performance of the Hotel Management Business has rapidly improved, benefiting from inbound demand. In the Hotel Development Business, we are promoting numerous development plans nationwide, aiming for the final year of our mid-term management plan in the fiscal year ending March 2025 and looking towards the next stage of growth, steadily building the foundation for future business.
As a result, for the fiscal year ending March 2024, our results are as follows: sales of 79,868 million yen (a decrease of 3.5% compared to the same period of the previous year), operating profit of 17,600 million yen (an increase of 18.1%), ordinary profit of 17,374 million yen (an increase of 18.0%), and quarterly net profit attributable to owners of the parent company of 11,917 million yen (an increase of 2.6%). For the full year, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit all reached record highs.

Long-term Trends Since Establishment
After its establishment, the business expanded smoothly. However during the 2008 Lehman Shock and the subsequent global financial crisis, we experienced two consecutive periods of deficits.
After overcoming this severe crisis, we achieved nine consecutive years of revenue and profit growth through the fiscal year ended March 2020. Although we temporarily faced a decrease in revenue and profit during the fiscal year ended March 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, by the fiscal year ended March 2024, we have firmly returned to a recovery path and are aiming for further growth, with the goal of realizing our long-term vision for 2035.
