  1. Descriptions regarding operating results

During the current second quarter consolidated cumulative period, the environment surrounding the Group once showed some movement towards recovery in economic activities in the context of full lift of State of Emergency Declaration and Stricter Countermeasures. In addition, rising rate of domestically requested vaccination led to relaxing various restrictions on people's activities and the situation appeared to improve. However, emergence of the new mutant strains provoked concerns about repetitive widespread infections and there remains some uncertainty for the future.

In such a situation, the Group aims at its own business reform and industry reform through DX (digital transformation). In August 2021, the Company announced its new vision of "To reform real estate business through DX and become a sole real estate digital platformer which fuses digital and real world together", and in October, changed its name to AMBITION DX HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. (formerly AMBITION Co., Ltd.). Also in August, AMBITION VENTURES Ltd. was established as the Company's consolidated subsidiary to undertake investment business. Besides, Incubation Business segment was newly created and started full-swing operation during the current second quarter consolidated cumulative period, so the way of describing this segment has been revised to present it as one of the reportable segments. Meanwhile, since the current second quarter consolidated fiscal period, names of reportable segments have been changed as follows: from "Property Management Business" to "Leasing DX Property Management Business"; from "Investment Business" to "Sales/Purchase DX Investment Business"; and from "Leasing Brokerage Business" to "Leasing DX Leasing Brokerage Business".

Please note that by ongoing measures for improved occupancy rate into which offering cost is put, as well as DX measures, occupancy rate after excluding newly contracted properties has maintained a high level as of the end of the current second quarter consolidated cumulative period. Meanwhile, by proactively obtaining new contracts, overall occupancy rate was 94.4% (in comparison, it was 95.5% at the end of 2Q of the previous FY).

These operations resulted in Net sales of 8,102,664 thousand yen (increase by 7.9% YoY), and Segment profit (Operating profit) of 442,751 thousand yen (decrease by 2.4% YoY).
