Notes (Ⅰ)26th FP(Jan. 2026)DPU ~ Actual vs Forecast analysis ~
(Note) Net income per unit, including profit carried forward from the previous period
Topics for this FP ~ Internal growth ~
(Note) The calculation is based on the foreign exchange rate as of January 30, 2026 (RM 1 = JPY 39.08, with figures truncated at the third decimal place).
Topics for this FP ~ Finance and sustainability ~
(Note 1) “Revitalization investment” refers to construction work for improving the value of properties.
(Note 2) Green Eligible Assets are defined as “newly acquired and existing operating assets that have already obtained, or are expected to obtain, certification from any of the following third-party certification bodies (collectively, “Environmental Certifications”): DBJ Green Building Certification (three stars or higher), CASBEE for Buildings, CASBEE Real Estate Certification (Rank B+ or higher), BELS Rating (FY2016 standards) (three stars or higher), or LEED certification (Silver, Gold, or Platinum (for LEED BD+C, v4 or later)).” We will proactively acquire such assets and, for operating assets that have not obtained an Environmental Certification, we will endeavor to obtain an Environmental Certification by undertaking initiatives such as improving their environmental performance.
Summary as of 26th FP (Jan. 2026)
(Note 1) The total acquisition cost excluding expenses incurred in acquiring the property, such as brokerage fees and taxes and public dues.
(Note 2) Unrealized gains are calculated as the appraisal value as of the end of the 26th fiscal period minus the book value as of the end of the 26th fiscal period. Please note that, as of January 31, 2026, the real estate appraisal value of “AEON MALL Hiezu” has been prepared as an investigated value that excludes consideration of the impact of the Reiwa 8 (2026) Shimane Eastern Earthquake, because a detailed investigation into the earthquake’s effects has not yet been completed and the documents/materials on necessary repairs, etc. required to assess the impact on value cannot be obtained.
(Note 3) Market value LTV is calculated as the balance of interest-bearing debt as of the end of the 26th fiscal period ÷ (total assets as of the end of the 26h fiscal period + unrealized gains as of the end of the 26th fiscal period) × 100.
Progress toward medium-term goals (Reference material)
(Note 1) ”Stabilized DPU" refers to the estimated distribution per unit calculated under the assumption that, for the operational period during which public taxes such as property tax and city planning tax (hereinafter referred to as "public taxes" in this note) are not expensed, due to the timing of the taxes being imposed, such public taxes are recorded as rental business expenses from the acquisition date of each managed asset.
(Note 2) GRESB is an annual benchmark assessment that evaluates the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations of real estate companies and funds, as well as the organization that operates it. In the GRESB real estate assessment, participants are rated on a five-tier scale based on the global ranks of their total score
(Note 3) MSCI is a financial services provider based in New York, USA, providing various tools to support investment decision-making for institutional investors worldwide, including asset managers, hedge funds, and pension funds. The MSCI ESG ratings assess how well companies manage environmental (E), social (S), and governance
(G) risks, with ratings ranging from AAA (highest) to CCC (lowest) on a seven-tier scale.
(Note 4) The third-party certification rate is calculated as the ratio of certified properties' total rentable area to the total rentable area of domestic properties held.
Certifications include the DBJ Green Building Certification, CASBEE Certification, and BELS Certification.
(Note 5) “Properties rated equivalent to ★4 or higher” include those with a 4-star or 5-star rating in the DBJ Green Building Certification, an A or S rank in the CASBEE Real Estate Evaluation Certification, and a 4-star or 5-star rating in BELS. “Properties rated equivalent to ★3 or higher” include those with a 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star rating in the DBJ Green Building Certification, a B+, A, or S rank in the CASBEE Real Estate Evaluation Certification, and a 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star rating in BELS (as of the end of Jan. 2026) .

▶ Acquisition opportunities will
Significance of acquisition
▶ Relatively more opportunities for acquisition in the past as many facilities had been built with these type of lands
▶ Generates more cash as the facilities are relatively new
▶ Compared to ①, NOI yield tends to be relatively high
▶ As the lease period is relatively long, easier to plan for having the return from the investment
Issues and responses
Utilize distribution
▶ High investment efficiency
in terms of acquisition costs and practices.
3
Small and medium-
increase
▶ Increased possibility of acquisition
Amortization of leasehold, etc may occur
▶ Diversifying portfolio
