Rationale for revisions of the operating forecast
Since the operational results of each hotel through December 2025 have almost become clear, JHR has revised the operating and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ended December 2025, and newly announces the operating and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending December 2026.
In the fiscal year ended December 2025, domestic demand remained strong in the second half, and demand from inbound visitors continued its increasing trend. In this environment, the performance of hotels continues to be favorable due to the increase in both domestic and international demand.
Operating revenue for the fiscal year ended December 2025 is expected to increase by JPY894 million compared to the previous forecast, mainly due to an increase in variable rent associated with the favorable performance of the hotels. Meanwhile, operating expenses are anticipated to increase by JPY68 million due to a review of various expenses related to the property and operating expenses, etc. Non-operating expenses are expected to decrease by JPY194 million, primarily due to a reduction in financing costs. As a result, net income is forecast to increase by JPY1,076 million compared to the previous forecast.
For a detailed comparison with the previous forecast, please refer to “4. Highlights of the operating and dividend forecasts” below.
Furthermore, the forecast dividend per unit for the fiscal year ending December 2026 is expected to increase by 2.3% year on year, supported by solid domestic and international accommodation demand. On a normalized basis, excluding temporary factors such as gain on sale recorded in the fiscal year ended December 2025, the dividend is expected to increase by 6.1%. In addition, the operating and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending December 2026 incorporate to a certain degree the expected impact on the performance of the hotels owned by JHR due to the Chinese government’s request to refrain from traveling to Japan. At the same time, each hotel continues to engage in active sales and marketing efforts targeting Asia, as well as Europe, the U.S. and Australia. By capturing demand from these markets in addition to steady domestic demand, the performance of the hotels is expected to continue to be strong.
In addition, in order to further enhance JHR’s revenue, a large-scale renovation is planned for Hilton Tokyo Odaiba from February 2026 to the end of December 2027. For an overview of the renovation work, please refer to today’s press release “Notice Concerning Renovation Work at Hilton Tokyo Odaiba.”
