Message from the President & CEO

Dear Our Shareholders and Investors

Loadstar Group was established in 2012. Our mission - “Real Estate x Tech to Open Up a New Market” - has been at the core of the company. We have two business areas: Real Estate Investments, which comprises Corporate Funding Business and Asset Management Business, and IT, which offers Crowdfunding Business. Through the synergy of these Real Estate Investments x IT, we, as an entire Group, strongly finished FY2024 with 12th consecutive year of growth in sales and profit.

 

Real Estate Investment Market and Our Initiatives

In 2024, the Japanese real estate market, particularly in central Tokyo where our company focuses, saw very strong demand from travelers to Japan due to the weak yen. Hotel room rates soared, and the return to office became evident, leading to a recovery in office vacancy rates and rents. In this environment, we actively acquired hotels, and offices in prime locations. The acquired properties also serve as the foundation for our Group's future growth, and we intend to steadily increase their value through various value-enhancement measures.

Our Medium-Term Management Plan

Loadstar Group has formulated the Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2025-FY2027) and positioned the period from fiscal year 2025 to 2027 as the Group's expansion phase. We aim to increase corporate value by strengthening investments for growth from revenue from our businesses and borrowings (with financial discipline), and by expanding the scale of our three businesses: Corporate Funding, Asset Management, and Crowdfunding. Furthermore, to achieve management that takes capital costs and stock prices into account, we will work on further strengthening governance and promoting sustainability management.

Investing in Our People

Our Group comprises a select group of talented people. We have created an environment in which all our members can act as professionals and demonstrate their strengths and calibers to the fullest, including expertise, communication skills, sincerity, spirit of challenge, and ability to break through.

Our culture encourages our people who have long experienced in the real estate, finance, and IT to learn, while fully exercising abilities, and to come up with unique ideas that can create new business opportunities - all of which, the management team respects. I am confident that, if we continue to build up these moments, the Group will grow and further enhance the corporate value.

As a President, I will continue to grasp the big picture of the rapidly changing social structure driven by the advancement of IT. I will take the lead for the Group by bringing the agility and expertise - our Group's strength- together and seek to achieve sustained growth.

Looking Ahead

Looking to achieve sustainable growth, we will focus on our execution with high aspiration and challenging spirit, while calmly watching the ever-changing business environment.

Thank you for your interest in Loadstar Group.
