can be broadly divided into the TOBU SKYTREE Line (the southern portion of the Isesaki
Real Retail

construction and sale of condominium units.
In the leisure business, the parent company directly manages the Courtyard by Marriott Tokyo Ginza Hotel and the Tobu
Hotel Levant Tokyo in the center of Tokyo, and in developing its leisure business, the Company works in close corporation with
each of its member companies.

decrease of 45.8% year on year), and we recorded an
operating loss of ¥18,484 million (as compared to operating
income of ¥3,116 million the previous year). This was mainly
a result of the substantial decrease in domestic travel due to
people staying home and the sharp decline in foreign tourists
due to immigration restrictions as well as our suspension
of operations following the first declaration of a state of
emergency.

including inviting famous stores from each area of Japan

In the real estate subdivision business, sales of
condominiums in Soka City and detached houses in Noda
City were favorable owing to increased appreciation for
large-scale properties near suburban stations offering
improved convenience of life in conjunction with the rise of
telecommuting.
In the real estate business overall, although sales of
houses built for sale were strong, revenues from operations
fell to ¥54,228 million (a decrease of 20.1% year on year),
and operating income was ¥13,702 million (a decrease of
5.3% year on year). This was primarily due to suspension of
operations at commercial facilities and rent reductions.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 7

 Financial Review (Consolidated)
In the supermarkets business, sales were up owing to increased demand for eating at home in conjunction with people
refraining from going out. However, sales were down in all other segments, primarily the railway, hotels, and department stores
businesses, due to two declarations of a state of emergency and people subsequently staying home and continuing to work
from home to stop the spread of infections on top of temporary closures of some leisure and commercial facilities at the request
of municipalities. As such, revenue from operations fell to ¥496,326 million (a decrease of 24.1% year on year).
Although income was up in the supermarkets business owing to increased sales, revenue from operations was down in all
other segments. As a result, we recorded an operating loss of ¥13,577 million (as compared to operating income of ¥62,653
million the previous year).
We recorded a recurring loss of ¥9,892 million (as compared to recurring income of ¥58,414 million the previous year).
As a result of the above, we recorded a net loss before income taxes and minority interests of ¥22,279 million (as compared
to net income before income taxes and minority interests of ¥54,157 million the previous year) and a net loss after deduction
of income taxes and minority interests of ¥25,149 million (as compared to net income of ¥35,966 million the previous year).
Additionally, we recorded a net loss attributable to owners of the parent company after deduction of net loss attributable to
noncontrolling interests of ¥24,965 million (as compared to net income attributable to owners of the parent company of ¥35,530
million the previous year).
Total assets at the end of the fiscal year were ¥1,682,497 million, up ¥26,405 million compared to the end of the previous
consolidated fiscal year (an increase of 1.6% year on year). This was a result of increased cash and deposits and investment
securities.
Liabilities came in at ¥1,229,393 million, up ¥47,270 million compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year
(an increase of 4.0% year on year). This was primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing debt despite a decrease in notes
and accounts payable - trade.
Net assets were ¥453,103 million, down ¥20,865 million compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year (a
decrease of 4.4% year on year) owing primarily to the recording of a net loss attributable to owners of the parent company.

For that reason, the Group has established the Group
Basic Policy on Compliance and works to ensure thorough
legal compliance and prevent misconduct, such as preparing
a compliance manual and enhancing compliance education
for all group employees. The Group also promotes the use of
the whistleblowing hotline by familiarizing all employees of the
Group with it in an effort to ensure compliance.

ii. Human Rights

The Group has established a working environment and
programs to eliminate difficulties and employs diverse human
resources, but in the event of an infringement of human rights,
the resulting social sanctions and loss of credibility could have
an impact on the business performances and/or financial
