1. Qualitative information regarding consolidated performance for the first nine months

(1) Explanation regarding operating results

Although the Japanese economy has shown signs of recovery since the state of emergency declaration was lifted, the number of infected people is rapidly increasing due to the impact of the COVID-19 variant. The business environment in Japan continues to be severe, especially in the accommodation and tourism industries. As for the world economy, while the impact of this new variant is spreading, various countries consider to remove Easy Monetary Policy and start tapering against the background of soaring prices. It is necessary to monitor interest rate trends in the future.

The deterioration in the average vacancy rate in the office building market in central Tokyo (5 districts of the Central Tokyo: Chiyoda, Chuo, Minato, Shinjuku, and Shibuya), where the Company operates its office building business, bottomed out in November 2021, and as of December 2021, the average vacancy rate was 6.33%, a slight improvement for the second consecutive month (approximately 0.12%) according to a survey by a private research institution. However, the overall office market remained weak, with the average rent falling for the 17th consecutive month (2,418 yen/ approximately 11%) to 20,596 yen (unit price per tsubo). In the real estate investment market, although institutional investors remain eager to invest, the market is approaching a phase of global monetary tightening, and the outlook for interest rates is unpredictable.

Based on this business environment, the Company is developing its business based on the medium-term management plan announced in May 2021. During the fiscal year under review, even in the pandemic of COVID-19, the Company's core business, Real Estate Revitalization Business, is resulting in steady sales of real estate due to the progression of commercialization with high-margin and high-quality. And Real Estate Service Business is maintaining in strong performance.

On the other hand, because of the great effect by the pandemic of COVID-19, Hotel Operation Business recorded a loss in the fiscal year under review due to the impact of the state of emergency declaration and the start-up expenses of new hotels.

As a result, net sales amounted to 61,618 million yen (up 32.7% YoY)t, operating profit amounted to 12,151 million yen (up 72.8% YoY), ordinary profit amounted to 11,983 million yen (up 82.6% YoY), and profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to 7,519 million yen (up 85.3% YoY).

Due to partial change in the report segment from the beginning of FY2022 1Q, actual results for FY2022 3Q and the same period of the previous fiscal year have been reclassified into the new segment classification. The background and outline of the segment change are as follows. In November 2020, in order to utilizing the know-how in Hotel Operation Business for the "Hotel Development Business" and enhance profitability in an integrated manner, the Company changed the organizational structure by transferring Hotel Development Business from Sun Frontier Fudousan Co., Ltd. into Sun Frontier Hotel Management Inc. Accordingly, the business segment will reflect this change and is renamed the report segment "Hotel and Tourism Business." Also, in order to strengthen further the coordination of each business segment in the real estate services field, the Company consolidated related business segments such as Conference Room Rental Business and Rent Guarantee Business into "Real Estate Service Business".

The results of each segment are as follows. (Real Estate Revitalization Business)

In the Real Estate Revitalization Business, we are engaged in (1) Replanning Business and (2) Rental Building Business.
