1. Summary of financial results for the fiscal year ending 2023/12

The financial results for the fiscal year ended 2023/12 were net sales of 22,743 million yen, up 3.1% from the previous fiscal year, operating income from continuing operations increased 85.1% to 1,441 million yen, and net income attributable to the company's shareholders increased 72.5% to 681 million yen. EBITDA (operating profit from continuing operations+depreciation costs+goodwill amortization expenses) increased 60.4% to 1,742 million yen. Sales reached record highs, and operating profit from continuing operations increased significantly above initial plans.

The breakdown of sales is 16,031 million yen for real estate sales, 3,536 million yen for land sales, 1,136 million yen for real estate rental income, 766 million yen for real estate management revenue, 633 million yen for solar facility sales, 33 million yen for solar facility operation/maintenance management, 214 million yen for electricity sales, 373 million yen for container sales, and 18 million yen for container maintenance and management. As for real estate sales, sales decreased 10.8% from the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in the number of units sold (588 units in the previous fiscal year, 446 units in the current fiscal year), but a total of 8 buildings were completed (7 “SYFORME” series buildings, 1 “SYLA TERRACE” building), and sales of a total of 6 buildings (of which 3 “SYFORME” series buildings were sold to BlackRock in the US), and things were generally going well. Sales from land sales surged 2.1 times compared to the previous fiscal year. This is due to a transient factor such as the sale of large development land. Real estate rental income and real estate management income grew steadily as stock type earnings. Sales of solar facilities and electricity sales have steadily expanded in relation to renewable energy. Also, sales related to container-type data centers have been newly added.

On the profit side, operating expenses (sales and management expenses) increased by 45.0% from the previous fiscal year due to an increase in personnel costs associated with an increase in personnel to strengthen the management system, an increase in IPO-related expenses such as stock compensation costs and attorney fees associated with NASDAQ listing, and an increase in M&A related expenses, etc., but gross profit increased by 53.7% (gross profit margin increased by 8.0 points) due to sales of properties with high profit margins such as large-scale development land sales, etc. Profit increased by absorbing the increase in SG&A expenses. As a result, the operating margin from continuing operations rose 2.8 points to 6.3%.

2. Financial Status

On the financial side, total assets at the end of the 2023/12 fiscal year increased 10,291 million yen from the end of the 2022/12 fiscal year to 40,084 million yen. Mainly, cash and cash equivalents increased by 1,474 million yen, and wholesale assets increased by 6,332 million yen. Total liabilities increased by 5,677 million yen to 28,903 million yen. The balance of interest-bearing debt (long and short term borrowings+corporate bonds+interest-bearing debt) increased by 5,920 million yen to 25,853 million yen. Total net assets increased by 4,613 million yen to 11,180 million yen. Capital surplus increased by 2,000 million yen due to capital raising in 2023/3 when it was newly listed, retained earnings increased by 646 million yen, and non-controlling shareholding increased by 2,042 million yen. As a result, the capital adequacy ratio rose 1.3 points to 21.2%. The balance of interest-bearing debt increased in line with business expansion, but the DE ratio (debt to capital ratio) is 3.0 times and the interest-bearing debt dependency ratio is 64.5%, neither of which is a matter of particular concern for the real estate industry, and we believe that management is being carried out with an awareness of financial risk. Furthermore, the company plans to aim for a capital adequacy ratio of 30% as a medium-term target.
