All Rights Reserved. Summary Business Results for the First Half of FY2020 • Decrease in revenue and income due to factors such as decrease in sales and gross profits of for-sale condominiums, decrease in property sales to investors in the commercial properties business and the real estate service business, in addition to decline in parking and resort facility occupancy due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. Full-Year Earnings Forecast for FY2020 • As the leasing business of hotels and commercial facilities, the parking lot business, and the leisure business have been particularly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, a portion of the full-year earnings forecast for FY2020, initially announced at the beginning of the fiscal year (February 5, 2020), has been revised. • When revising the forecast, the impacts of the partial rent reductions and exemptions at hotels and commercial facilities as well as a decline in parking and resort facility occupancy were taken into consideration in addition to the expectation that property sales to investors will include real estate for other uses as an alternative to hotels and commercial facilities. Furthermore, the earnings forecast is premised on the notion that the business environment surrounding the Tokyo Tatemono Group will gradually recover and assumes that the business environment will essentially return to normal toward the end of the fiscal year. • Despite an increase in property sales to investors, operating income, business income, and ordinary income will decrease from the previous fiscal year in FY2020 as a result of factors such as decrease in sales of for-sale condominiums, decline in parking and resort facility occupancy due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as higher corporate costs associated with head office relocation. However, as for revenue from operations and profit attributable to owners of the parent, an increase in revenue and income is anticipated and the amounts will remain unchanged from the forecast announced at the beginning of the fiscal year. Topics • The rights conversion plan was approved for Yaesu 1-Chome East B Area Urban Redevelopment Project. (June) • Completed T-LOGI Kuki, Tokyo Tatemono’s first logistics facility.
