Executive Summary
In addition to higher revenue, a key feature of this quarter was that extraordinary income, including gains on the sale of fixed assets, significantly boosted net income. Revenue was ¥1195.5B (+14.2% YoY), Operating Income was ¥63.1B (+22.8%), Ordinary Income was ¥76.3B (+50.2%), and Net Income was ¥85.7B (+28.9%). The Operating Income margin improved to 5.3% from 4.9% in the same period of the previous year; however, the growth in Ordinary Income and Net Income was primarily attributable to an increase in non-operating income and a ¥45.6B gain on the sale of fixed assets, and therefore needs to be evaluated separately from underlying business expansion.
Factors Driving Earnings Changes
【Revenue】All segments reported higher revenue, led particularly by the Real Estate Business (+26.1%) and the Hotel and Leisure Business (+12.0%). The Logistics Business accounted for the largest share of the revenue mix at 33.4%, followed by the Mobility Business at 21.2% and the Hotel and Leisure Business at 16.7%. The Business Support Business expanded sharply by +70.5%, although its scale remains small.
【Profit and Loss】Operating Income was ¥63.1B (+22.8%), growing faster than revenue, and the Operating Income margin improved by 37bp to 5.28%. Ordinary Income was ¥76.3B (+50.2%), supported by ¥24.0B in non-operating income, including ¥8.3B in share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method and ¥5.9B in dividend income. Extraordinary income of ¥46.3B, primarily consisting of the ¥45.6B gain on the sale of fixed assets, was included in Net Income of ¥85.7B, indicating a significant contribution from temporary factors. In conclusion, the company achieved higher revenue and earnings, but the growth in Net Income included non-recurring factors.
Segment Analysis
The Real Estate Business recorded the highest revenue growth, with revenue of ¥212.1B (+26.1%), but Operating Income increased only to ¥21.1B (+3.9%), causing its margin to decline from 12.0% in the previous year to 9.9%. The Logistics Business maintained its position as the largest segment, with revenue of ¥398.7B (+10.3%), while profit increased to ¥12.9B (+19.5%), indicating improved profitability. The Mobility Business recorded revenue of ¥253.6B (+5.3%) and profit of ¥11.3B (+32.7%), demonstrating profit growth exceeding its revenue growth. The Distribution Business reported revenue of ¥114.2B (+12.0%) and profit of ¥16.2B (+36.1%), with a 14.2% margin, the highest level among all segments. The Business Support Business, which comprises part of the former classification, reported sharply higher revenue but lower profit, making it necessary to verify its profitability.
Key Financial Indicators
【Profitability】The Operating Income margin of 5.3% improved from 4.9% in the same period of the previous year, and the Net Income margin also rose from the previous year to 7.2%; however, part of Net Income was temporarily boosted by the gain on the sale of fixed assets. 【Cash Flow Quality】Pre-tax income of ¥121.8B includes ¥46.3B in extraordinary income, making an assessment of earnings power based on Ordinary Income more reflective of actual conditions. 【Investment Efficiency】Annualized ROE was 11.4%, but there remains room to improve capital efficiency, reflecting the asset composition centered on fixed assets, which account for 72.5% of total assets. 【Financial Soundness】The Equity Ratio was 36.4%, while cash and deposits increased by +29.5% YoY to ¥607.1B, indicating expanded liquidity.
Cash Flow Analysis
Although detailed disclosures for the cash flow statement are not available, funding trends can be assessed from changes in the balance sheet. Cash and deposits increased by ¥138.5B (+29.5%) to ¥607.1B from ¥468.7B in the same period of the previous year, apparently reflecting cash inflows from the sale of fixed assets and the accumulation of profits. Interest-bearing debt consisted of short-term borrowings of ¥527.1B, long-term borrowings of ¥1444.2B, and bonds of ¥1670.0B, maintaining a funding structure centered on long-term financing. Retained earnings increased by ¥49.7B from the previous year to ¥2160.8B, indicating continued accumulation of internal reserves.
Quality of Earnings
Of Net Income of ¥85.7B, extraordinary income of ¥46.3B, primarily consisting of the ¥45.6B gain on the sale of fixed assets, made a significant contribution; this needs to be evaluated separately from recurring earnings power. Non-operating income of ¥24.0B included ¥8.3B in share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method and ¥5.9B in dividend income, while non-operating expenses totaled ¥10.8B, primarily consisting of ¥9.3B in interest expenses. Extraordinary losses were limited to ¥0.8B, including ¥0.2B in impairment losses. Comprehensive income was ¥107.7B, comprising ¥106.1B attributable to owners of the parent. The gap between this amount and Net Income of ¥85.7B was attributable to other comprehensive income items, including ¥14.9B in valuation differences on securities and ¥2.2B in foreign currency translation adjustments. Accordingly, the current period’s earnings were significantly supported by temporary factors, and it is appropriate to assess sustainability primarily based on the growth of Operating Income and Ordinary Income.
Earnings Forecasts and Guidance
The full-year earnings forecasts are Revenue of ¥5100.0B, Operating Income of ¥245.0B (-21.8% YoY), and Ordinary Income of ¥245.0B (-33.2% YoY), with declines in earnings expected from the previous fiscal year’s results in both cases. The Q1 Operating Income progress rate was 25.8%, in line with a standard level, while the progress rates for Ordinary Income and Net Income were high at 31.2% and 37.3%, respectively. This difference is attributable to temporary factors such as the gain on the sale of fixed assets; therefore, when assessing achievement of the full-year forecasts, emphasis should be placed on the accumulation of Operating Income. No revisions have been made to the earnings forecasts.
Shareholder Returns
The full-year dividend forecast is ¥90.00 per share, and the forecast Payout Ratio based on full-year forecast EPS of ¥297.95 is 30.2%, a level below the general benchmark for sustainability. No revisions have been made to the dividend forecast. Equity of ¥2911.5B, retained earnings of ¥2160.8B, and cash and deposits of ¥607.1B provide financial support for continued dividend payments.
Risk Factors
-
Dependence on temporary profit: Extraordinary income of ¥46.3B, including a ¥45.6B gain on the sale of fixed assets, contributed to Net Income of ¥85.7B, meaning that low-repeatability profit boosted the bottom line.
-
Decline in the Real Estate segment margin: While revenue increased by +26.1%, Operating Income increased only by +3.9%, causing the margin to decline from 12.0% in the previous year to 9.9%. The effects of development costs, rental occupancy rates, and interest-rate trends require close monitoring.
-
Increase in interest burden: Interest expenses increased by +21.8% to ¥9.3B from ¥7.7B in the same period of the previous year. Interest-bearing debt includes ¥1670.0B in bonds, and higher interest rates at the time of refinancing could affect future profit and loss.

Key Takeaways from the Financial Results
-
The company secured higher revenue and earnings, with Operating Revenue increasing 14.2% and Operating Income increasing 22.8%; the 37bp improvement in the Operating Income margin also indicates the resilience of the business foundation.
-
The growth in Net Income (+28.9%) was significantly supported by the ¥45.6B gain on the sale of fixed assets, and the degree of improvement in recurring earnings power can be more accurately assessed through trends in Operating Income and Ordinary Income.
-
The decline in the margin despite the Real Estate Business’s revenue growth rate of +26.1%, as well as the profitability of certain businesses relative to their revenue growth, will be key points to monitor when examining the future earnings structure by segment.

Notes:
- Because the progress of Net Income against the full-year forecast (37%) exceeds the standard level (25%), forecast EPS has been adjusted upward within a maximum range of +10% (because companies whose progress is ahead of schedule tend to outperform their forecasts; adjustments may be excessive for businesses with strong seasonality).
- Because forecast ROE is below the cost of equity, the theoretical value is below book value per share.
- Net assets as of the end of the quarter are used (there is a timing difference relative to the full-year forecast).
- Because net assets include non-controlling interests, the theoretical value may be calculated somewhat higher.
