Although there are factors providing support for market conditions, they are expected to soften year on year due to the slowdown in the Chinese economy and the impact of U.S. tariffs.
Deliveries of new chemical tankers remain limited, and the inflow of newly built vessels into the market continues to be constrained. As of the end of FY2025, the orderbook stands at approximately 2.8% of the existing fleet.

*¹ From 3Q 2026, the reference data has been changed to the 19,900 dwt ECO vessel, and past data has also been revised retroactively.
Ongoing instability in the Red Sea region has continued to necessitate diversion routes via the Cape of Good Hope. As a result, sailing distances have lengthened, which has become a supporting factor for market conditions.
Although there are concerns over weaker demand in the competing product tanker market due to the slowdown in the Chinese economy, market conditions have remained resilient, supported in part by the tightening of sanctions, including those imposed on Russia. As a result, inflows into the chemical tanker market are expected to remain limited.
Concerns remain over the impact of a prolonged slowdown in the
Chinese economy and U.S. tariff policies on the global economy.

Owing to factors such as seasonal winter demand and the limited supply of newly built vessels in the fourth quarter, market conditions are expected to remain firm.
From the second half of 2025, supported by a seasonal recovery in winter demand in China and India, exports from the United States to Asia were generally firm, and the VLGC market remained relatively resilient.

Heightened cargo movements in the United States also led to a tightening of vessel supply in the Middle East region, thereby supporting market conditions at elevated levels.
While the large volume of new vessel deliveries in 2026 remains a concern, limited newbuild inflows in the fourth quarter of FY2025 are expected to keep fleet capacity tight, supporting continued firm market conditions.

Due to factors such as China's agreement to import U.S.-origin grains, as well as the expected commencement of South American grain shipments in early spring, market conditions are projected to move into a recovery phase.
(Compiled by the Company from various sources)
From summer through autumn, continued imports of South American grains by China, together with resilient coal demand, supported a gradual market recovery. However, toward the end of 2025, an easing of supply-demand conditions led to a downturn in market conditions.

On the supply side, amid the continued restrictions on navigation through the Red Sea, the increase in ton-mile demand resulting from detours via the Cape of Good Hope is expected to continue, providing underlying support for market conditions.
Against the backdrop of China's agreement to import U.S. grain and the anticipated start of South American grain shipments in early spring, market conditions are expected to move toward recovery.

With vacancy rates continuing to decline and average rents on the rise, market conditions are expected to remain firm.
The office leasing market in central Tokyo remains firm, with vacancy rates continuing to decline and average rents trending upward.
Demand continues to be underpinned by corporate initiatives to enhance employee comfort and secure highly skilled talent, driving the need for higher-quality office space in terms of layout, location, and building grade. As a result, the shortage of available existing office space in central Tokyo has become increasingly pronounced.

*As this information is current as of May 2025, figures for 2025 are projections.
On the supply side, a clear bifurcation in competitiveness among office buildings has emerged, driven by factors such as area, location, building age, and facilities. However, no new large-scale office developments are scheduled for completion in central Tokyo during the fourth quarter of FY2025, and market tightness is therefore expected to intensify further.
Vacancy rates are expected to remain at extremely low levels, while average rents are forecast to continue their upward trend.

Promote Action to Implement Management that is Conscious of Cost of Capital and Stock Price
Policy
* A unique business model that combines the shipping industry, which is large market fluctuations,
with the real estate industry, which is relatively small market fluctuations
Based on the business portfolio policy based on IINO MODEL*, we will improve ROIC, which has been added as a new management indicator, by allocating management resources to growth and new businesses with emphasis on expanding earnings and further strengthening core businesses and stable and mature businesses. To pursue ROIC higher than WACC and increase EVA spread, which is the difference between WACC and EVA spread, to enhance profitability and achieve sustainable growth and increase corporate value, we will steadily and speedily advance the three-year mid-term management plan formulated in May 2023.
Analysis of Current Situation
At the end of FY2024, ROIC and ROE stood at 7.5% and 13.2%, and at the end of FY2025, ROIC and ROE are projected to be 5~6% and 9~10%, which is higher than our perceived cost of capital.
Driven by expectations for improved business performance, our share price has been rising, and the PBR is currently trading at around 1.07 times.

Business Portfolio Strategy
During this mid-term plan, we have positioned the promotion of business portfolio management as a key management strategy, and plan to invest a total of 100 billion yen (of which 60 billion yen will be invested in environment-related). Evaluate each business from a medium- to long-term perspective based on the two axes of growth potential and return on invested capital (ROIC), and allocate management resources in a balanced manner.

Cash Allocation (FY2023~FY2025)
Based on the latest earnings forecast for fiscal year 2025, operating cash flow is expected to increase by ¥1.0 billion compared with the previous outlook, while cash inflows
from investment recovery are projected to rise by ¥2.5 billion, primarily due to the disposal of vessels.
Shareholder returns are expected to exceed the mid-term management plan by ¥5.5 billion, driven by upside in earnings, the payment of a special dividend, and the increase in the dividend payout ratio to 40%. (The year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 will be paid in fiscal 2026 and is therefore not included in total shareholder returns of ¥18.5 billion.)
The additional investment capacity is positioned as financial flexibility to prepare for future growth investment opportunities. We will continue to review its use, taking into
account future investment conditions and developments.
