Reasons for changes

Fiscal 2025 has seen steady expansion in private equity investment activities targeting companies at the center of business succession projects, including formation of large-scale deals and progress toward investment recovery. Fund formation through truck operating lease arrangements and associated product sales have also expanded, improving at a pace exceeding initial expectations.

Aircraft operating lease activities have also been good, with deal formation and aircraft sales topping initial estimates. Consequently, management upwardly revised the revenue forecast from its earlier announcement.

Regarding operating income and ordinary profit, both income categories have been upwardly

revised but the anticipated changes are small, reflecting the potential for higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to an increase in hiring and a salary boost for full-time employees that pushes up personnel costs, compounded by outflow, namely, advertising expenses and commission fees, above what was initially projected.

The forecast for profit attributable to owners of the parent remains unchanged because, even though ordinary profit is expected to increase and, based on such factors as future business performance trends, the Company is likely to book deferred tax assets above the level initially estimated, management feels the extraordinary loss of ¥505 million described in "Notice regarding booking of extraordinary loss," released today, could impact the bottom line.

The year-end dividend is still set at ¥3 per share, unchanged from the forecast announced on November 6, 2024.

Note: Forward-looking statements in this press release, including performance forecasts, are based on information currently available to management and certain reasonable assumptions. Actual results may differ considerably from these estimates due to various factors.
