Medium-Term Business Plan 2022-2024 in Review
While unplanned cost increases occurred due to inflation and other factors, numerical targets were generally achieved thanks to initiatives such as cost structure reforms (including BPR), efforts to maximize the effect of the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen opening, and the recovery in mobility demand.
With respect to financial soundness, we maintained a stable level of financial management. The Company believes it is well positioned to respond swiftly to attractive investment opportunities going forward.
Medium-Term Business Plan 2022-2024 in ReviewIn the Real Estate and Hotels Segment, we actively moved forward with growth investments, including the New Nagasaki Station Building Project.
The real estate leasing business and hotels business achieved significant growth, including recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
