          During the subject nine months, the domestic economy showed gradual progression supported by improvements in employment and income, despite the standstill in corporate earnings.

          New housing starts of leased units has trended strongly, due to the prolonged period of low interest rates and strong demand for apartment construction as a strategy to reduce inheritance taxes. On the other hand, as the number of vacant houses continues to increase and recovery in nationwide demand becomes difficult, achieving stable occupancy rates requires constructing apartments in areas with high demand, in addition to providing high-quality products and services that meet tenants' needs.

          Under these conditions, the Leopalace21 Group (the "Group") aims to achieve targets of the Medium-term Management Plan "EXPANDING VALUE," by building a solid management structure focusing on the core businesses, made up of Leasing and Construction. In addition, the Group aims to establish new businesses that will contribute to future growth.

          As a result, consolidated net sales for the subject nine months came to 380,634 million yen (up 1.0% year-on-year). Operating profit was 15,802 million yen (down 0.8% year-on-year), recurring profit was 15,465 million yen (up 3.2% year-on-year), and net income attributable to shareholders of the parent was 12,854 million yen (up 1.5% year-on-year).

          (i) Leasing Business

          The occupancy rate at the end of the third quarter was 86.97% (up 0.08 points from the end of the same quarter last year) and the average occupancy rate for the period was 88.00% (up 0.59 points year-on-year).

          In the Leasing Business, to establish stable profits led by occupancy improvement, the Group implemented measures to promote longer rent periods such as expanding tenant services including "my DIY" (formerly known as "Room Customize") and providing a website for tenants, as well as further strengthening sales for female and corporate customers by security system installations. In addition, the Group aims to increase foreign tenants by refining customer support.

          The number of units under management at the end of the third quarter was 567 thousand (increasing 5 thousand from the end of the previous fiscal year), the number of direct offices was 189 (no change from the end of the previous fiscal year), and the number of franchise offices was 117 (decreasing 13 from the end of the previous fiscal year).

          As a result, net sales amounted to 310,304 million yen (up 1.6% year-on-year), and operating profit was 17,077 million yen (down 7.6% year-on-year).
