Greetings from Naoki Fukuda, Executive Director of Invincible Investment Corporation and President & CEO of Consonant Investment Management Co., Ltd.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to all unitholders of Invincible Investment Corporation ("INV") for your continued support. We hereby provide you with a report on INV's asset management and financial results for the 43rd fiscal period (from July 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024) (the "Reporting Period").
In the Reporting Period, the domestic hotels achieved steady growth compared to the previous year due to stable domestic demand coupled with the recovery and growth in inbound demand. As for the Cayman hotels, there was a temporary downturn in performance due to the partial sales stoppage resulting from the large-scale renovation work at Sunshine Suites Resort, but demand remained strong.
Under such circumstances, INV implemented a global public offering for the second consecutive year to acquire 12 domestic hotels, including the full-service hotel "Art Hotel Osaka Bay Tower & Solaniwa Onsen", further expanding and enriching its hotel portfolio, which is the largest among J-REITs. Furthermore, in October 2024, Fusaki Beach Resort Hotel & Villas, one of INV's flagship hotels, won a total of six awards for "World Luxury Hotel Awards 2024", an internationally recognized award which is considered as the "Academy Awards of the hotel industry", including three "World Luxury Hotel Awards" in the hotel category, and three awards for "World Luxury Spa Awards 2024" for its SPA "Fusaki Spa". We believe that the hotel's high quality of service and diverse facilities were highly evaluated, leading to the award, and we look forward to welcoming our unitholders to this hotel.
On the financing side, we worked to manage our finances by keeping a close eye on interest rate trends, and we extended the terms of the loans and diversified repayment dates. At the same time, we raised the ratio of fixed interest rates by implementing interest rate swap transactions and borrowing at fixed interest rates as a precaution against the risk of rising interest rates.
As a result, INV announced a distribution per unit of JPY 1,982 by recording operating revenues of JPY 25,555 million, operating income of JPY 17,751 million, and net income of JPY 15,138 million in the Reporting Period. The distribution per unit ("DPU") exceeded the result for the June 2024 fiscal period and is the highest DPU since February 2010 when the corporate name changed to Invincible Investment Corporation.
The current environment will continue to require us to deal with rising costs, including interest rates, but we aim to further increase DPU by working diligently to capture demand for banquets and meetings which have recovered significantly after the COVID-19 pandemic, and inbound demand in regional areas, as well as by making asset acquisitions and strategic investments such as renovations of domestic and overseas hotels.
Your continued support is highly appreciated.
Naoki Fukuda
Executive Director, Invincible Investment Corporation

ESG Initiatives
INV recognizes the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in real estate investment management from the viewpoint of sustainability such as economic and social development and contributing to global environmental conservation, and regard improvement of sustainability as an important management issue and implement initiatives to contribute to make our society sustainable.
2024 GRESB Real Estate Assessment1
In the 2024 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, INV received a "3-Star" GRESB Rating, which is based on overall GRESB scores and its quintile position among participants, for the second consecutive year. INV was also awarded a "Green Star" designation by achieving high performance in both the "Management Component" that evaluates policies and organizational structure for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) promotion, and the "Performance Component" that assesses environmental performance and tenant engagement of properties owned. Further, INV was highly evaluated for its ESG information
disclosure efforts and received an "A Level" the highest level for GRESB Public Disclosure, which assesses the breadth of ESG disclosure for the fourth consecutive year. We will consider preparations for acquiring evaluation by other external organizations, such as green building certification, to strengthen our ESG initiatives.
(Note 1) GRESB is an annual benchmarking assessment to measure ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration of real estate companies and funds. The GRESB Real Estate Assessment is characterized by evaluating sustainability initiatives of real estate companies, REITs, and real estate funds, rather than targeting individual real estate. The GRESB rating is a relative evaluation based on the overall score, with the highest rating being 5-star

(Note 2) BELS is a third-party certification system that evaluates and certifies the energy-saving performance of a building that the operators are required to make efforts to display under the Act on Improving Energy Consumption Performance for Architectural Structures. Houses and buildings are evaluated based on the value of BEI (Building Energy Index) derived from the primary energy consumption based on the government-designated energy consumption performance standard of architectural structures. The evaluation result is rated on a five-star scale based on energy conservation performance (from one star "★" to five stars "★★★★★"), with five stars meaning the highest energy conservation performance. Also, two stars or more represent that the building meets the existing energy conservation standard
(Note 3) CASBEE is a method that comprehensively assesses the quality of a building, and evaluates features such as interior comfort and scenic aesthetics, in consideration of environment practices including use of materials and equipment that save energy or achieve smaller environmental loads. CASBEE Certification for Buildings (Existing Buildings) scores buildings based on the environmental quality and the environmental load reduction of buildings that are at least one year old after completion. Assessment results by CASBEE are indicated on a scale with the following five ranks: Rank S "★★★★★", Rank A "★★★★", Rank B+ "★★★", Rank B- "★★", and Rank C "★". Certification for CASBEE for Real Estate was developed with the aim of making use of the results of the environmental assessment of buildings by CASBEE in real estate evaluation. The assessment results are given one of four ranks: Rank S "★★★★★", Rank A "★★★★", Rank B+ "★★★", and Rank B- "★★"

(Note 1) Dividend payout ratio is calculated in accordance with the following formula and rounded to one decimal place:
Dividend payout ratio = Distribution amount (Excluding distributions in excess of retained earnings) / Net income × 100.
(Note 2) Figures above are calculated as below, and ratios are rounded to one decimal place. Figures annualized according to the number of days are also shown.
- 8 -
Return on assets = Ordinary income for relevant period / ((Total assets at start of relevant period + Total assets at end of relevant period) / 2) x 100.
Return on equity = Net income for relevant period / ((Net assets at start of relevant period + Net assets at end of relevant period) / 2) x 100.
Capital ratio = Net assets at end of relevant period / Total assets at end of relevant period x 100.
NOI = Rental revenue - Property-related expenses + Management contract revenue - Management contract expenses + Dividends of preferred equity interest + Depreciation expense for relevant period.
The dividends of preferred equity interest has been included in the formula calculating NOI from the 41st fiscal period. Since no dividends of preferred equity interest was recorded from the 39th to the 41st fiscal period, this change makes no difference. However, since dividends of preferred equity interest was recorded from the 42nd to the 43rd fiscal period, dividends of preferred equity interest was included in NOI due to this change.
2 Overview of Asset Management for the Fiscal Period Ended December 2024
- Main Trends of INV
INV was established in January 2002 in accordance with the Investment Trust and Investment Corporation Act (Act No. 198 of 1951, as amended). In May 2004, INV was listed on the Osaka Securities Exchange (application for delisting was made in August 2007), and in August 2006 was listed on the Real Estate Investment and Trust Securities Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Ticker Code: 8963).
After the absorption-type merger with LCP Investment Corporation ("LCP") was implemented on February 1, 2010, INV issued new investment units through a third-party allotment on July 29, 2011 and refinanced its debt. Calliope Godo Kaisha ("Calliope"), an affiliate of the Fortress Investment Group LLC ("FIG" and together with Calliope and other affiliates of FIG, collectively the "Fortress Group") was the main allottee, and the sponsor changed to the Fortress Group.
Ever since the commencement of sponsorship from the Fortress Group (Note 1), INV has been focusing its efforts on improving the profitability of its portfolio and establishing a revenue base in order to secure stable distributions, and has strengthened the lender formation through new borrowings and the refinancing of existing bank borrowings, thereby creating a financial base for external growth. With this platform as a base, in June 2014, Consonant Investment Management Co., Ltd., the asset manager to which INV entrusts the management of its assets ("CIM") revised the Investment Guidelines for INV, positioned hotels as a core asset class alongside residential properties with a view towards expanding investments in the hotel sector in which demand is forecasted to rise going forward, and has expanded its portfolio.
In the Fiscal Period ended December 31, 2024 ("Reporting Period"), INV implemented a global offering of new investment units for the second consecutive year and acquired 12 domestic hotels. As a result, INV's portfolio at the end of the Reporting Period comprised of 146 properties (104 hotels (Note 2) (Note 3), 41 residential properties and one retail facility) with a total acquisition price of JPY 653,066 million (Note 4). Furthermore, INV's hotel portfolio has the largest asset size (Note 5) of JPY 612,281 million (104 properties, 18,871 rooms) among all J-REITs (real estate investment corporations which are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Real Estate Investment Trust Securities Market, hereinafter the same shall apply) hotel portfolios including Hotel J-REITs (Note 6).
(Note 1) Calliope transferred 80.0% of issued shares to Fortress CIM Holdings L.P., a subsidiary of SoftBank Group and 20.0% to SoftBank Group Corp. ("SoftBank Group") on March 29, 2018, but the SoftBank Group transferred its issued shares of CIM to Fortress CIM Holdings L.P on May 23, 2023. Further, on May 15, 2024, the SoftBank Group transferred its interest in the indirect parent company of Fortress CIM Holdings L.P. to Mubadala Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund. As a result, the SoftBank Group no longer falls under the parent company and specified related corporation of CIM.
(Note 2) The preferred equity interest held by INV is counted as one property. Such preferred equity interest issued by a special purpose company (tokutei mokuteki kaisha, "TMK") refers to 178,458 units of the preferred equity interest issued by Kingdom Special Purpose Company (equivalent to 49.0% of the outstanding preferred equity interest), which owns the trust beneficiary interest of the Sheraton
- 9 -
Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel as an underlying asset. The property is classified as a hotel, based on the use of Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel, the underlying asset of the preferred equity interest, and INV's investment amount of the preferred equity interest is used as the acquisition price of the preferred equity interest, unless otherwise stated. The "underlying asset" refers to the real estate or the real estate related assets owned by a operator of an anonymous association (tokumei kumiai, "TK") interest or a TMK relating to the preferred equity interest which INV owns, thus the real estate or the real estate related assets which will be the revenue source of INV. Hereinafter the same shall apply.
(Note 3) From September 28, 2018 (Cayman Island local time; September 29, 2018 in Japan local time), INV owned 100% of the TK interest in Seven Mile Resort Holdings Ltd. (the "Cayman SPC"), a Cayman Islands special purpose company that holds leasehold interests in Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa and Sunshine Suites Resort (collectively, the "Cayman Hotels") and ancillary assets as underlying assets. However, INV implemented the investment structure change (the "Structure Change" in some cases hereinafter) regarding the Cayman Hotels on May 9, 2019 (Cayman Island local time; May 10, 2019 in Japan local time) and has directly held the Leasehold Interests, etc. of the Cayman Hotels thereafter. Both of the TK interest and the Cayman Hotels are counted as two properties before and after the Structure Change. In addition, the "Leasehold Interests, etc." means leasehold interests (rights equivalent to long-term real estate leases on land and buildings under the British Cayman laws) and furniture, fixtures, equipment, ornaments, kitchen instrument, and other assets required for hotel operations. Hereinafter the same shall apply.
(Note 4) Due to the Structure Change, the book value of the leasehold interests of the Cayman Hotels recorded by the Cayman SPC as of May 9, 2019 (Cayman Island local time; May 10, 2019 in Japan local time), when INV succeeded the leasehold interests of the Cayman Hotels from the Cayman SPC via distribution in kind in connection with the termination of TK agreement, is deemed as the acquisition price of the Cayman Hotels. The book value is converted into JPY amount via exchange rate of USD 1=JPY 110.45 based on the foreign exchange forward contracts executed on July 26, 2018 and implemented on September 26, 2018 in connection with the investment in the TK interest by INV. Hereinafter the same shall apply.
(Note 5) Hotel J-REIT is defined as the J-REIT whose majority part of portfolio consists of hotel assets.
(Note 6) "The largest asset size … among all J-REIT hotel portfolios" refers to the total acquisition price of 104 hotels owned by INV as compared with the total acquisition price of hotels (including inns and other accommodation facilities) owned by listed investment corporations other than INV as of December 31, 2024.
- Operational Performance
