* Explanation of the proper use of financial forecasts and other important notes

  1. The statements about the future included in this report, including financial projections, are based on information currently available to the Company and certain assumptions that are considered reasonable, which do not guarantee the achievement of such projected results. Actual results may vary considerably from these projections due to a range of factors. See "(3) Information on future forecasts including consolidated financial forecasts under "1. Qualitative Information on Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2021" on page 2 of the Accompanying Materials for the assumptions of the financial forecasts and points to note in the use of financial forecasts.
  2. Every year, we hold a financial results briefing for institutional investors and analysts. However, we have decided to cancel it, considering the health and safety of all participants and related parties in light of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection. The earnings outline of the second quarter of FY2021 will be posted on the Company's website (video distribution). In addition, the supplementary material for financial results of the quarter under review were disclosed on TDnet and the Company's website today.

1. Qualitative Information on Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2021

(1) Analysis of Operating Results

During the first six months of the consolidated fiscal yer under review (January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021), in the real estate industry, where the MUGEN ESTATE Group operates, the nationwide average price of housing land per square meter (as of January 1, 2021), announced by the National Tax Agency on July 1, 2021, declined 0.5%. The fall in land prices was particularly marked in many areas centered on commercial districts, given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the inflow of funds into the real estate market is expected to continue into the future, supported by the effects of policies and improvements in overseas economies, in addition to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 including vaccinations. Given these conditions, demand is predicted to remain strong among real estate investors.

According to the Real Estate Information Network for East Japan (East Japan REINS), the number of contracts concluded for used condominium units in the Tokyo metropolitan area rose sharply at a rate of 94.9% year on year in May 2021, sustaining a year-on-year increase for the third consecutive month. The average unit price per square meter of contracted condominium units increased 12.6% year on year in the same month. The average unit price rose year on year for the 13th consecutive month. As these figures suggest, demand for used condominium units remained high. Reflecting strong sales, the number of inventory properties continued to decrease, falling 27.3% year on year in the first half under review.

In this business environment, the MUGEN ESTATE Group has endeavored in its core Real Estate Trading Business to increase the occupancy rates of investment type properties and improve inventory turnover by boosting sales with the measures such as increasing the added value provided by properties. Competition for purchasing residential type properties increased while steady demand was maintained, so we committed ourselves to enhance purchase and sales activities strictly considering profitability.

As a result, consolidated net sales increased 24.8% year on year, to 17,795 million yen, consolidated operating income rose 62.3% year on year, to 1,318 million yen, consolidated ordinary income climbed 129.2% year on year, to 1,050 million yen, and consolidated profit attributable to owners of parent grew 121.0% year on year, to 737 million yen.

The following is an overview of the results by segment. [Real Estate Trading Business]

In the Real Estate Trading Business, the number of units sold in investment-type properties came to 87 (up 19 units year on year) and the average unit selling price was 148 million yen (down 1.7% year on year), registering net sales of 12,882 million yen (up 25.7% year on year). Furthermore, the number of units sold in residential-type properties came to 85 (up 17 units year on year) and the average unit selling price was 43 million yen (up 21.8% year on year), registering net sales of 3,664 million yen (up 52.2% year on year).

As a result, net sales for the segment increased 31.5% year on year, to 16,721 million yen, and the segment profit (operating income for the segment) grew 57.4% year on year, to 1,584 million yen.

[Real Estate Leasing and Other Business]

In the Real Estate Leasing and Other Business, revenue from real estate leasing came to 1,023 million yen (down 32.0% year on year). As a result, net sales for the segment decreased 30.4% year on year, to 1,074 million yen, and segment profit (operating income for the segment) fell 31.8% year on year, to 380 million yen.

Note: The "investment-type properties" are classified as real estate generating rental income, including rental condominiums, and office blocks, which are used by buyers for the purpose of investment. The "residential-type properties" are classified as real estate used by buyers as their housing units, most of which are owned condominiums.

(2) Analysis of Financial Position

[Status of assets, liabilities and net assets]

The financial position at the end of the second quarter of the consolidated fiscal year under review included assets of 58,585 million yen (down 6.2% from the end of the previous fiscal year), liabilities of 35,476 million yen (down 11.0% from the end of the previous fiscal year), and net assets of 23,109 million yen (up 2.2% from the end of the previous fiscal year).

Principal factors contributing to the decrease in assets included a decrease of 5,452 million yen in real estate properties for sale.

The decrease in liabilities was attributable primarily to decrease of 2,161 million yen in Current portion of long-term borrowings and 1,744 million yen in long-term loans payable.

The increase in net assets resulted in large part from a rise of 737 million yen in retained earnings due to the recording of profit attributable to owners of parent, and a decrease of 239 million yen in retained earnings attributable to dividends paid.

[Status of cash flows]

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of the consolidated fiscal year under review ("cash") increased 1,135 million yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, to 15,785 million yen. The cash flow positions and contributing factors during the first six months under review are as follows:

(Cash flows from operating activities)

Net cash provided for operating activities during the first six months of the consolidated fiscal year under review totaled 5,519 million yen (net cash used in operating activities during the first six months of the previous fiscal year was 2,217 million yen). This was primarily attributable to decrease of 5,093 million yen in inventories and the recording of 1,056 million yen as profit before income taxes.

(Cash flows from investing activities)

Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of the consolidated fiscal year under review was 168 million yen (net cash used during the first six months of the previous fiscal year was 1,392 million yen). This was caused primarily by proceeds from the withdrawal of time deposits of 828 million yen, offset by payments into time deposits of 975 million yen.

―1―

(Cash flows from financing activities)

Net cash used for financing activities during the first six months under review amounted to 4,215 million yen (net cash of 1,967 million yen was provided during the first six months of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to the result of proceeds from long-term loans payable amounting to 6,780 million yen, offset by the repayment of long-term loans payable was 10,686 million yen.

(3) Information on future forecasts including consolidated financial forecasts

Operating income, ordinary income and profit attributable to owners of parent are showing strong progress against the consolidated financial forecasts at present. Nevertheless, the Company chose to leave its consolidated financial forecasts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 announced on February 15, 2021 as they are, because a proper and rational estimate of the full-year forecasts is difficult at present given a rise in taxes and dues predicted to result from aggressive purchases planned in the second half and the unclear effects of the resurgence and continued spread of COVID-19 on the real estate market. The Company will promptly disclose revisions should a rational estimate of the full-year financial forecasts become possible and a need for their revision arise in the future.

The descriptions of business forecasts presented in this document are based on the future assumptions, outlook, and plans as of the date of the publication of this document, which include risks and uncertain factors. Actual results may vary significantly from the forecasts presented in this document due to the economic environment, market trends, and other factors that affect the business of the Group.
