Note: Revision to the forecasts of financial results announced recently: N/A
The Company has a stable business structure centered on leasing operations, however, operating revenue (net sales) fluctuates substantially due to trends in the buying and selling of real estate for sale. Success or failure in this buying and selling of properties is affected significantly by economic conditions and the real estate market. As forecasting such trends is currently problematic, the Company has not provided a forecast of its operating revenue. The Company will disclose this information promptly once it becomes possible to make a forecast.

Overview of the Quarterly Consolidated Business Results
During three months ended March 31, 2026, leasing income from real estate was stable due to completion and acquisition of properties in the previous fiscal year and in the current fiscal year. In addition, sales of real estate for sale steadily progressed during three months ended March 31, 2026. As a result, operating revenue was ¥226,841 million (increased ¥70,197 million or 44.8% compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, hereinafter “YoY”), operating profit was ¥31,171 million (decreased ¥645 million or 2.0% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥26,986 million (decreased ¥1,024 million or 3.6% YoY) and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥18,141 million (increased ¥965 million or 5.6% YoY).
The business results for each segment were as follows.
(Operating revenue for each segment includes inter-segment operating revenue and the balance of book-entry transfers.)
The Group acquires well-located properties with the aim of building a competitive leasing portfolio in response to diverse needs in the real estate market.
As of March 31, 2026, the Group owns and manages approximately 250 buildings and properties (excluding real estate for sale), amounting to approximately 1,270,000 square meters of floor space, located mainly near train stations in Tokyo’s 23 wards and conducts its real estate leasing business using this leasing portfolio.
In addition, in order to further enhance earnings capacity, the Group achieves higher leasing income through development and redevelopment projects and generates stable leasing income, while also engaging in real estate acquisition and sales, including real estate value-added businesses.
New acquisitions (non-current assets) during three months ended March 31, 2026 included Sapporo network center (Kita-ku, Sapporo-shi), and others.
In development and reconstruction business (non-current assets), Quartz Shinsaibashi (Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi) was completed in March 2026.
In addition, Jiyugaoka 1-29 Redevelopment Project (Meguro-ku, Tokyo), (tentative name) Ginza 8-chome 9-11, 12 Development Project (Chuo-ku, Tokyo), (tentative name) Shiohama 2-chome Development Project Phase I (Koto-ku, Tokto), (tentative name) Aoyama Building Reconstruction Project (Minato-ku, Tokyo), (tentative name) G8 Development Project (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) , (tentative name) Ginza 5-chome Development Project (Chuo-ku, Tokyo), (tentative name) Ginza 6-chome Miyuki St. Development Project (Chuo-ku, Tokyo), Ginza 7-chome Showa St. Development Project (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) and (tentative name) Shinjuku 318 Development Project (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), etc. were proceeded as planned.
In PPP (Public Private Partnership) business, projects including “Urban Renewal Step-Up Project (Shibuya Area) Shibuya 1-chome Area Joint Development Project” conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Shibuya City Government, etc. were proceeded as planned.
As for real estate for sale, properties including Hulic Minatomirai (Naka-ku, Yokohama-shi), and Hulic Fuchu Tower (Fuchu-shi, Tokyo), etc. were sold.
As described above, the segment operations progressed as planned because leasing income from real estate was stable due to completion and acquisition of properties in the previous fiscal year and in the current fiscal year. In addition, sales of real estate for sale steadily progressed during three months ended March 31, 2026. As a result, operating revenue in this business segment totaled
¥191,360 million (increased ¥57,974 million or 43.4% YoY) and operating profit was ¥38,534 million (increased ¥5,153 million or 15.4% YoY).
Hulic Insurance Service Co., Ltd., one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, serves as an insurance agency for both Japanese and foreign insurance companies operating in Japan and sells various insurance products to both corporate and individual customers. Although a difficult business environment continues to surround the insurance business industry, Hulic Insurance Service Co., Ltd. is pursuing expansion of this business, concentrating on corporate transactions, with a strategy of acquiring the business rights of existing non-life insurance agents.
As a result, operating revenue in this business segment was ¥1,185 million (increased ¥120 million or 11.3% YoY) and operating profit was ¥498 million (increased ¥125 million or 33.8% YoY).
In Hotels / Ryokans business, as the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, Hulic Hotel Management Co., Ltd. manages “THE GATE HOTEL” brand hotel series and “View Hotel” brand hotel series, while HULIC FUFU Co., Ltd. manages “FUFU” ryokan series.
During three months ended March 31, 2026, ADR (Average Daily Rates) increased due to robust inbound demand, and sales from
newly opened facilities have been added.
As a result, operating revenue in this business segment was ¥16,846 million (increased ¥2,007 million or 13.5% YoY) and operating profit was ¥2,047 million (increased ¥198 million or 10.7% YoY).
Hulic Build Co., Ltd., one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, regularly takes orders of repair constructions, constructions of refurbishment at the end of lease contracts and interior fit-outs at the beginning of lease contracts from the Company’s existing properties. Also, Riso Kyoiku Co., Ltd., one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, operates and manages children education services, etc.
In addition, Hulic Energy Solution Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of the Group, conducts environmental and infrastructure-related businesses, including the development and management of renewable energy power plants and storage systems, as well as retail electricity operations.
Koken Boring Machine Co., Ltd., which became a consolidated subsidiary of the Group in 2025, is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of boring equipment and other related equipment, as well as construction services. Cook Deli, Inc., which also became a consolidated subsidiary in 2025, is engaged in the planning, manufacturing, and sales of ready-to-eat meals for senior living.
As a result, operating revenue was ¥20,541 million (increased ¥10,141 million or 97.5% YoY) and operating loss was ¥4,808 million (operating profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year was ¥743 million).
As a special item for the three months ended March 31, 2026, additional goodwill amortization of ¥6,961 million triggered by share price fluctuations of Riso Kyoiku Co., Ltd. was recorded. Excluding this special item, operating profit amounted to ¥2,153 million (increased ¥1,409 million or 189.5% YoY).
Overview of the Quarterly Consolidated Financial Position
Total assets as of March 31, 2026 was 3,552,936 million, increased by ¥46,867 million from December 31, 2025. Against the backdrop of sustained inflation and rising rents, further activation of the real estate transaction market, and increasing construction costs, the Group aims to maximize leasing profits, gains on property sales, and consolidated profits through further sophistication and efficiency improvements in its real estate business.
As for real estate investment business, the Group invests in highly liquid assets and inflation-resilient assets with expected rental growth. In addition, as for real estate development business, the Group is engaged in building a high-quality portfolio of fixed assets, promoting the growth of the Group’s REITs and funds (through increases in AUM), and developing assets for new businesses.
Changes in amount of major items are as follows.
Cash and deposits: Increased ¥99,607 million
Operational investment securities: Increased ¥71,128 million (Transfer from investment securities, acquisition of operational investment securities, return of capital contributions, etc.)
Real estate for sale: Decreased ¥54,305 million (Transfer from non-current assets, acquisition and sale of properties, etc.)
Land: Decreased ¥20,305 million (Acquisition of properties, transfer to real estate for sale, etc.)
Investment securities: Decreased ¥41,720 million (Transfer to operational investment securities, acquisition and sales of investment securities, an increase in unrealized gains of investment securities, etc.)
Total liabilities as of March 31, 2026 was ¥2,611,534 million, increased ¥44,646 million from December 31, 2025. This was mainly attributable to financing carried out for capital investment and the like.
The balance of borrowings was ¥1,582,333 million, which included ¥45,951 million non-recourse borrowings owed by consolidated SPCs. Financing from financial institutions was operated stably at low cost thanks to the credit strength on the back of the Group’s high earnings level.
Total net assets as of March 31, 2026 was ¥941,401 million, increased ¥2,221 million from December 31, 2025. Total shareholders’ equity was ¥821,118 million, decreased ¥8,246 million from December 31, 2025, due mainly to an increase of retained earnings in profit attributable to owners of parent and a decrease of retained earnings in the cash dividend payment.
Total accumulated other comprehensive income was ¥87,370 million, increased ¥3,455 million from December 31, 2025, due mainly to an increase in foreign currency translation adjustments attributable to the weakening of the yen and an increase of valuation difference on available-for-sale securities due to an increase in unrealized gains of securities.
