Property Management Business

(Mainly engaged in by AMBITION with some engagement by Veritas Investment and VALOR)

Business Performance in Property Management (Rental Property Management Business for H1 of the Fiscal Year Ending June 2021

Net sales rose 4.8% year on year due to an increase in the number of units managed, which is the KPI.

Segment income fell 19.9% year on year. This was due to special factors such as investment made in DX, in addition to expenditure and the implementation of measures (p.26) to address a fall in the occupancy rate in Q2, caused by a combination of more new properties managed and COVID-19.

Investment Business

(Mainly engaged in by Veritas Investment with some engagement by AMBITION's Investment Department)

Investment Business Performance Trends for H1 of Fiscal Year ending June 2021

Net sales increased sharply, up 88.9% year on year, reflecting the earlier sale of some properties scheduled for H2 as settlement periods, which had grown longer due to COVID-19, returned to normal, in addition to sales (around 1.5 billion yen) postponed from the previous fiscal year.

Segment income grew substantially to 3.6 times the level a year earlier, mainly due to an increase in new prime properties handled and also because the sales postponed from the previous fiscal year were properties with high profit margins.

Rental Brokerage Business

(Engaged in by Ambition Rent and Ambition Partner in addition to Ambition Agency and VALOR)

Rental Brokerage Business Performance Trends for H1 of Fiscal Year ending June 2021

Net sales increased by 18.5% year on year due to successful measures for attracting customers including online customer attraction and remote customer attraction through the strengthening of advertising strategy.

In terms of segment profit and loss, improvement in productivity per store (reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses through the introduction of AI x RPA tool "Rakutech") has caused loss to decrease. It is expected to turn into the black during the current fiscal year.

04 Forecast for the Current Fiscal Year

Consolidated Forecasts for Fiscal Year Ending June 2021

Forecast for the Current Fiscal Year

Sales and profit are expected to see double-digit increases. Net sales is expected to exceed 30 billion yen.

(Note 1) Business forecasts and other forward-looking statements in this document are based on information currently available to Ambition as well as certain assumptions deemed to be rational. Therefore, actual results may differ significantly due to various factors.

(Note 2) The EBITDA forecast for fiscal year ending June 2021 is lower than the figure in previously disclosed materials due to a change in the conditions for inclusion of depreciation in the Hotel Business. The other forecasts are unchanged.

Distribution Policy

We will continue with a plan for stable shareholder return going forward while conducting proactive upfront investment in growth areas

Expect a significant increase in the current fiscal year

Fiscal year ended June 2020 (actual)

Fiscal year ending June 2021 (forecast)

Maintain payout ratio as in the previous fiscal year and increase period-end distribution amount by 6 yen

Payout ratio: 15.7%

05 Mid-Term Policy

Medium-Term Policy of the Ambition Group

Mid-Term Policy

We will expand the stable revenue base of existing real estate businesses centered on the Property Management Business, which is a stock business.

While actively promoting new businesses centering on DX in the residential field, we will aim to become a leading company in the real estate industry in both the physical and digital realms.

* The medium-term goal will be reviewed in light of the situation with COVID-19, status of progress of new businesses, etc.

Direction Existing Businesses and New Businesses Respectively

Existing Businesses

The growth of the Property Management Business, which is relatively unaffected by the economy and whose revenue base keeps growing, will be the core. Promote an increase in managed units (KPI) centering on studio condominiums in Tokyo, which already holds a large share.

In the Investment Business and Rental Brokerage Business, aim for revenue contribution by actively and carefully accelerating activities.

New Businesses

Aim for an expansion of the share of "Rakutech," a tool combining AI and RPA in the Real Estate DX Business.

Given the SaaS model, large contributions to revenue can be expected after becoming profitable.

Promotion and research of digital transformation (DX) in the "residential" field utilizing the assets of existing real estate businesses

"RPA" improving business efficiency

AI business based on big data, etc.

Evolution of customer experience (customer-oriented)

  • Smart home (IoT)

Reason for Promoting Real Estate DX

Promoting DX due to the following reasons in order to realize our mission

Departure from labor-intensive business

As the labor shortage is becoming a social issue, improvements in productivity are required also in real estate businesses.

Room for evolution from the viewpoint of customers

There is infinite room for evolution in the "residential" field, which has not evolved significantly over the past several decades.

Becoming a leading company in the real estate industry that can realize the mission of creating the "future" of residences and offering "dreams" in living

Property Management Business

While inbound demand is stagnant due to COVID-19, the rate of foreign residents in the 20,987 units managed by Ambition was maintained at 9.6% (as of the end of Q2), the same level as before the outbreak of COVID-19 (9.1% at the end of Dec. 2019), through the incorporation of relocations of foreign residents by way of brokers specializing in foreign nationals.

Rakutech

Hankyoubaizou-kun

AI-based robot to forecast responses to rental properties

With real estate knowledge installed in RPA, AI analyzes property information to predict "properties that customers want to rent."

AI-related patents have been obtained to establish market advantage for Rakutech.

Advantages of Customers Using the Product

Well received as a robot for increasing work efficiency and capturing customer needs, as shown in a comment: "Even a part-time worker can enter property information instead of the shop manager and receive more inquiries (customer reactions) than the shop manager."

The more Rakutech is used, the more its accuracy improves, as it creates a model utilizing the user's original features, repeatedly conducts learning, and forecasts inquiries from customers in consideration of the seasonal characteristics.
