Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define 'Adjusted EBITDA' as net income before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude other income, net and other specific charges that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information for investors to evaluate the Company's operating performance and cash-generating ability. It is also used by management for internal purposes, including performance evaluation and budgeting.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined under US-GAAP or IFRS and may not be comparable to similar metrics disclosed by other companies.
Yasuyuki Nozawa, Representative Director, President and CEO of LogProstyle said, 'This fiscal year was another strong year for LogProstyle, marked by disciplined, sustainable growth across our core businesses.
We delivered solid topline growth, led by continued momentum in real estate and steady growth in our hotel business, while meaningfully expanding our operating margin through the discipline we have brought to our cost structure. Reflecting our confidence in the business and our ongoing commitment to shareholder returns, our Board approved the initiation of a recurring quarterly cash dividend during the year. As we look ahead to fiscal year 2027, we remain committed to continued innovation, operational excellence, and disciplined execution of our strategy. I am grateful to our dedicated employees, partners, and customers for their trust and support as we work to redefine life style and build long-term value for our shareholders.'
Financial highlights:
Revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 reached JPY22,221 million (US$140 million), an increase of 7.6% versus the year ago period of 2025. Real estate generated JPY20,600 million (US$129 million) in revenue, up 9.5% compared with JPY18,819 million in the year ago period, driven primarily by an increase in the number of units sold. Hotel revenue reached JPY1,310 million (US$8 million), an increase of 4.9% versus JPY1,249 million in the same period of 2025. Revenue growth from the hotel segment was supported by an increase in average daily rate (ADR) compared to fiscal year 2025. Other revenue for the fiscal year 2026 was JPY311 million (US$2 million).
Gross profit increased by 23.9% to JPY4,408 million (US$28 million) in fiscal year 2026, up from JPY3,559 million in 2025, with gross margin improving 2.6 percentage points to 19.8% from 17.2% in fiscal year 2025.
Operating expenses increased by 28.0% to JPY2,837 million (US$18 million) from JPY2,217 million in fiscal year 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with maintaining our status as a listed company and the expansion of our investor relations (IR) activities, as well as an increase in corporate enterprise tax resulting from the increase in stated capital. Operating income in fiscal year 2026 was JPY1,572 million (US$10 million), an increase of 17.1% compared with the JPY1,343 million in fiscal year 2025. Operating margin of 7.1% improved from 6.5% in fiscal year 2025, supported by revenue growth and diligent expense management.
Income before taxes increased by 9.0% to JPY1,251 million (US$8 million) from JPY1,148 million in the previous fiscal year. Net income for fiscal year 2026 amounted to JPY760 million (US$5 million), up 0.8% year on year, marking a second consecutive year of earnings growth. However, the rate of growth was more moderate than that of income before taxes. This was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense, which rose from JPY210 million to JPY329 million, reflecting both higher borrowings to support growth investments and rising interest rates. In addition, the effective tax rate increased from 34.4% to 39.3%, mainly due to the impact of the retained earnings tax and other factors, resulting in income taxes increasing from JPY 395 million to JPY 491 million. These factors were both associated with business expansion and the accumulation of retained earnings.
As reflected in the growth of operating profit and income before taxes, the earning power of our core business continued to improve steadily.
Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased by JPY2.60 (US$0.02) to JPY32.16 in fiscal year 2026. This was attributable to the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding resulting from the issuance of new shares in connection with the Company's IPO in March 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA reached JPY1,644 million (US$10 million) in fiscal year 2026, up 10.6% over fiscal 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents were JPY2,282 million (US$14 million) on March 31, 2026 compared with JPY2,121 million on March 31, 2025.
Summary by Business Segment:
Revenue from the Real estate segment, which accounted for approximately 93% of total revenue, increased 9.5% year on year to JPY20,600 million.
