Greetings
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all investors for your ongoing support.
This report provides an update on IIF's performance for the fiscal period ended January 31, 2025 (the 35th period). In the fiscal period, IIF acquired IIF Shimonoseki Vehicle Maintenance Center, IIF Hyogosanda Logistics Center II and 20.0% of the total equity interest in Tokumei Kumiai
that has collateralized underlying assets for real estate trust beneficiary rights set in one property. In addition, IIF disposed IIF Totsuka Technology Center (land with leasehold interest) (35% co-ownership interest). As a result, the number of properties under management at the end of the period was 110, and the asset under management was 507.6 billion yen (based on acquisition price).
IIF has been able to re-sign expiring tenants with an increase in rent, and to increase rents within the term of the contract through continued careful management of tenants with expiring contracts. In addition, IIF has steadily implemented internal growth strategies such as facility usage fees from tenants in conjunction with the introduction of measures to reduce environmental impact (installation of solar power generation systems, conversion to LEDs, air conditioning upgrades, etc.). In addition, as one of the measures to enhance unitholder value, IIF has disposed and will dispose properties recording a cumulative gain of approximately 7.7 billion yen from the 30th to the 36th fiscal period. In the future, IIF intend to continue to return gains on sale to unitholders without retaining them.
IIF will continue to strive for stable management and work to maximize unitholder value through sustainable growth of internal growth, realization of unrealized gains external growth. I would like to look forward to your continuous support.

Growth Strategy
Distribution per unit for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 will reach a record high, continuing from the previous fiscal year
In January 2025/35th fiscal period, distributions per unit reached a record high of 3,524 yen due to the contribution of newly acquired properties and a reduction in leasing business expenses at existing properties.
For the fiscal period ending July 31, 2025/ the 36th fiscal period, although new acquisitions and redevelopment properties will contribute to earnings, fixed city tax expenses on newly acquired properties and interest expenses due to the increase in interest rates are expected to increase. As a result, we forecast a distribution of 3,450 yen per unit for the 36th fiscal period. For the fiscal period ending January 31, 2026/ the 37th fiscal period, we forecast a distribution of 3,210 yen per unit due to the stripping of gain on the sale of IIF Totsuka Technology Center (land with leasehold interest) and the full-year contribution from the expense of the fixed city tax on the newly acquired property.
Furthermore, we have now set a new distribution growth target per unit. Going forward, we will strongly promote internal growth and aim to reach 3,400 yen of distribution per unit (excluding gain on sales) through growth at an annual rate of 3.0% or more from the fiscal period ending January 31, 2026. In addition, we aim to further raise the level of distributions by 200 to 400 yen in each fiscal period as a continuous return of gains on sales, to reach a distribution per unit (including profit on sales) of 3,600 to 3,800 yen in the fiscal period ending January 31, 2028.
