FY2026 Q2 results: Revenue ¥139.9B (vs prior year ¥-122.0B, -46.6%), Operating Income ¥4.0B (vs prior year ¥-15.8B, -79.5%), Ordinary Income ¥5.1B (vs prior year ¥-15.5B, -75.3%), Net Income attributable to owners of the parent ¥3.1B (vs prior year ¥-11.0B, -77.9%). The primary cause was a significant decline in revenue recognition as delivery timing for large properties in the Real Estate Business shifted to the second half. Inventories (Real Estate for Sale ¥351.2B, Under Development ¥74.2B) increased by approximately ¥242.5B YoY, expanding Total Assets to ¥680.5B (+¥206.7B). Operating Cash Flow (OCF) was a large outflow of -¥276.6B, mainly due to working capital investment from inventory build-up of -¥259.1B. Free Cash Flow was -¥277.8B; financing raised long-term borrowings +¥264.9B and new share issuance +¥67.5B. ROE declined to 0.9% and Debt/EBITDA is at a high 45.8x. The full year guidance for Ordinary Income is maintained at ¥100.0B (+27.7% YoY), but Q2 progress is only 5.1%, implying an aggressive plan that assumes large project deliveries in the second half.
[Revenue] Revenue was ¥139.9B (YoY -46.6%), a significant decline. The core Real Estate Business recorded ¥120.0B (-50.5%), primarily due to condo and similar deliveries concentrating in the second half. Real Estate for Sale rose to ¥351.2B (from ¥121.8B YoY, +¥229.4B) and Under Development properties rose to ¥74.2B (from ¥46.2B YoY, +¥28.0B), indicating a heavier inventory balance. The Sales Promotion Business was ¥19.9B (+1.9%), a slight increase and accounting for 14.2% of total company revenue. The Real Estate segment accounts for 85.8% of revenue, indicating high business concentration. Gross profit was ¥19.6B (prior year ¥33.9B); gross margin improved to 14.0% (prior approx. 13.0%), suggesting an improved product mix.
[Profitability] Operating Income was ¥4.0B (prior year ¥19.8B, -79.5%), a large decline. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were ¥15.6B (prior year ¥14.2B), +9.9%, and absorption of fixed costs deteriorated with lower revenue, lowering the operating margin to 2.9% (from 7.5%, -4.6pt). By segment, Real Estate Operating Income was ¥10.5B (margin 8.7%, prior year ¥25.7B, -59.3%), Sales Promotion Operating Income was ¥0.2B (margin 1.1%, prior year ¥0.4B, -43.6%). After deducting corporate expenses of -¥6.7B, consolidated Operating Income was ¥4.0B. Non-operating income included interest and dividend income ¥0.6B, equity-method investment income ¥0.2B, totaling non-operating income ¥3.1B; non-operating expenses including interest expense ¥1.6B (prior year ¥1.2B) were ¥2.1B, resulting in Ordinary Income ¥5.1B (prior year ¥20.6B, -75.3%). Extraordinary income was minor at ¥0.1B from gains on sales of investment securities. Profit before tax was ¥5.2B, income taxes ¥2.1B (effective tax rate 39.8%), and Net Income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥3.1B (net margin 2.2%, prior year ¥14.2B, -77.9%). In conclusion, substantial revenue and profit declines.
The Real Estate Business recorded Revenue ¥120.0B (prior year ¥242.4B, -50.5%), Operating Income ¥10.5B (prior year ¥25.7B, -59.3%), margin 8.7%. The main cause was fewer deliveries, confirming an inventory build-up phase. The Sales Promotion Business recorded Revenue ¥19.9B (prior year ¥19.5B, +1.9%), Operating Income ¥0.2B (prior year ¥0.4B, -43.6%), margin 1.1%. Slight revenue growth but profit declined due to SG&A burden. After corporate expenses ¥6.7B (prior year ¥6.4B), consolidated Operating Income was ¥4.0B. The structure where the Real Estate segment generates the majority of consolidated operating profit remains unchanged, but timing effects widened the profit decline.
[Profitability] Operating margin 2.9% (from 7.5%, -4.6pt), Net margin 2.2% (from 5.4%, -3.2pt), both significantly deteriorated. Gross margin improved to 14.0% (from approx. 13.0%), but higher SG&A ratio 11.1% (from 5.4%) compressed margins. ROE fell to 0.9% (from 5.0%); decomposition shows Net margin 2.2%, Total Asset Turnover 0.21x (from 0.55x), Financial Leverage 2.07x (from 1.66x). The large drop in Total Asset Turnover (simultaneous inventory build-up and revenue decline) is the primary deterioration factor. [Cash Quality] OCF / Net Income is -88.4x, indicating a marked divergence between profit and cash. The accrual ratio is -89.4, extremely high, indicating weak cash backing for reported profits. [Investment Efficiency] Of Total Assets ¥680.5B, inventories (Real Estate for Sale ¥351.2B + Under Development ¥74.2B) total ¥425.4B, representing 62.5%, showing a deterioration in asset efficiency. Capex was minimal at ¥0.6B, indicating restrained growth investment. [Financial Soundness] Equity Ratio 48.4% (from 59.3%, -10.9pt), Interest-bearing Debt ¥279.1B (41.0% of Total Assets), Debt/EBITDA 45.8x indicating high leverage. Interest coverage: EBIT 2.5x, EBITDA 3.8x—levels warranting caution. Current ratio 1,034.9% is extremely high, with Cash ¥205.5B vs Current Liabilities ¥63.9B indicating short-term liquidity is ample, but contingent on inventory monetization.
Operating Cash Flow was -¥276.6B (prior year -¥153.7B, deterioration -¥122.9B), mainly due to increase in inventories -¥259.1B (build-up of Real Estate for Sale and Under Development) and corporate tax payments -¥17.6B. The subtotal was -¥257.6B plus working capital changes -¥19.0B; changes in trade receivables and payables were minor. Depreciation ¥2.0B and goodwill amortization ¥0.3B were included in EBITDA ¥6.1B; however, OCF was -¥276.6B, a -45.4x divergence, indicating extremely weak cash generation. Investing CF was -¥1.2B, with Capex -¥0.6B, minimal. Free Cash Flow was -¥277.8B (prior year -¥153.2B), largely covered by financing CF. Financing CF was +¥216.3B: long-term borrowings raised +¥264.9B and new share issuance +¥67.5B, offset by long-term borrowings repayments -¥89.7B, bond redemptions -¥9.9B, and dividend payments -¥27.3B. Cash declined to ¥205.5B (prior year ¥271.0B, -¥65.5B). The company is in a working-capital intensive phase; improvement in quality depends on delivery of inventories and cash collection.
Of Ordinary Income ¥5.1B, Operating Income ¥4.0B comprises about 78% as recurring earnings. Of non-operating income ¥3.1B, items such as other non-operating income ¥0.6B and equity-method investment income ¥0.2B are relatively non-transitory. Extraordinary gains ¥0.1B (gain on sale of investment securities) are minor with limited impact on Net Income. There is a large divergence between OCF -¥276.6B and Net Income ¥3.1B, indicating an extremely high accrual. The main cause is inventory build-up -¥259.1B due to timing differences in revenue recognition. Comprehensive income ¥3.0B (parent ¥2.9B) roughly matches Net Income ¥3.1B; OCI from valuation of securities -¥0.1B is minor. Earnings largely originate from recurring operating activities, but weak cash backing is a concern; progress in inventory liquidation in the second half is key to improving earnings quality.
Full year guidance: Ordinary Income ¥100.0B (+27.7% YoY) and Net Income attributable to owners of the parent ¥68.0B remain unchanged. Ordinary Income ¥5.1B at Q2 represents only 5.1% of the full-year forecast, a shortfall of -44.9pt versus a standard 50% progress. Company assumptions rest on an optimistic scenario with large property deliveries concentrated in the second half, assuming Ordinary Income of ¥94.9B in Q3–Q4. Inventory balances (Real Estate for Sale ¥351.2B + Under Development ¥74.2B) provide depth to support full-year revenue, but the timing and certainty of deliveries and sales progress are the most critical factors for achieving the plan. No forecast revision has been made; the company maintains the plan, but the significant shortfall in H1 and second-half concentration require verification of feasibility.
No interim dividend. Full-year dividend forecast is ¥64 per share, to be paid as a year-end lump sum. Based on outstanding shares 51.627M less treasury shares 1.284M = 50.343M shares, estimated total returns are approximately ¥3.22B. Dividend payout ratio versus full-year Net Income forecast ¥68.0B is about 47.4%, a sustainable level on an earnings basis. However, Free Cash Flow at Q2 is -¥277.8B, and while cash and deposits are ¥205.5B, near-term dividend funding depends on existing cash and second-half cash collection. No share buybacks have been executed; shareholder returns are dividends only. Sustainability of dividends depends on achieving full-year profits and monetizing inventory.
Inventory liquidation delay risk: Real Estate for Sale ¥351.2B and Under Development ¥74.2B (total ¥425.4B) represent 62.5% of Total Assets. If delivery timing slips or sales underperform, delays in revenue and profit recognition and continued cash flow deterioration may persist. Risks from real estate market fluctuations and weakening customer demand could hinder sales progress.
High leverage and interest rate risk: Interest-bearing debt ¥279.1B, Debt/EBITDA 45.8x, interest coverage EBIT 2.5x—financial metrics are in a cautionary range. Interest expense is ¥1.6B (prior year ¥1.2B) and rising; in a rising-rate environment, increased burden could compress operating income. Delays in inventory monetization may necessitate additional funding or refinancing under worse terms.
Realizability risk of second-half concentrated recognition: With full-year Ordinary Income forecast ¥100.0B and Q2 progress only 5.1%, plan assumes ¥94.9B recognition in the second half. Timing of large project deliveries, construction progress, and the certainty of sales contracts are all uncertain; failure to achieve the plan could lead to forecast revisions and dividend cuts.

Progress in inventory deliveries is the top item to monitor: Real Estate for Sale ¥351.2B and Under Development ¥74.2B total ¥425.4B and account for 62.5% of Total Assets. Deliveries and monetization in the second half are the most important factors for Revenue, Profit, and Cash Flow. Quarterly inventory balance trends, contract progress, and delivery schedules disclosure are critical for investment decisions.
Room for improvement in financial leverage and cash generation: Debt/EBITDA 45.8x and interest coverage EBIT 2.5x indicate high leverage, and OCF outflow of -¥276.6B raises sustainability concerns. OCF turnaround and Free Cash Flow improvement through second-half inventory liquidation are keys to restoring financial health; confirmed progress would be an inflection point in evaluation.
Achievability of full-year plan and dividend sustainability: With full-year Ordinary Income guidance ¥100.0B and Q2 progress 5.1%, the plan depends heavily on second-half recognition of ¥94.9B. Dividend payout ratio 47.4% and DPS ¥64 are reasonable if profits are achieved, but shortfall risks could prompt dividend cuts. Second-half results and any forecast revisions will be the turning point for dividend policy.
