“Taking on challenges.”
This is the core behavioral principle we value most, as outlined in the Seibu Group Vision, which serves as our backbone. The Seibu Group is now taking on the “challenge” of realizing a new growth story centered around the comprehensive real estate business.
With our sights set on fiscal year 2035, we have outlined our future aspiration of “Resilience & Sustainability – Creating Invaluable Space and Time, Ensuring Safety and Security”, and to realize this, we formulated the “Seibu Group’s Long-Term Strategy to 2035” along with a three-year “Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2024–2026).” We are steadily advancing initiatives based on the six materialities set out in our long-term strategy. Going forward, we will accelerate active investments in human capital, which will serve as the driving force in achieving our long-term strategy. We aim to secure, retain, and develop talent that propels business growth, while also reinforcing efforts to create a work environment that supports the growth of employees as they take on challenges, as well as provide meaning and satisfaction in their work.
As CEO, I will continue to take a long-term and strategic perspective, focus on capital efficiency, and strive to achieve sustainable growth and further enhance corporate and shareholder value.
We sincerely ask for your continued support and encouragement.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued understanding and support of our business activities.
In the “Seibu Group’s Long-Term Strategy to 2035” and the three-year “Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2024–2026),” formulated with a view toward fiscal year 2035, we are committed to achieving sustainable growth centered on the real estate business. We have made steady progress in capital recycling, including the securitization of Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, and have restructured our organization with the aim of transforming into a comprehensive real estate company. Furthermore, in the Hotel and Leisure and Urban Transportation & Regional segments, we have decisively shifted to a growth strategy in which we enhance competitiveness in each business. Looking ahead, we will utilize the funds generated from securitization to invest in the value enhancement of our key hotels, redevelopments in central Tokyo and along the Seibu Railway lines, as well as developments in resort areas, thereby striving to further improve capital efficiency.
Regarding shareholder returns, we conducted a share buyback of 70 billion yen using funds from the securitization of Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, while increasing our annual dividend to 40 yen per share. Going forward, in line with the shareholder return policy defined in our long-term strategy, we will continue to prioritize growth investments that contribute to enhancing corporate value, while maintaining a progressive dividend policy with a minimum DOE of 2.0%, and will aim to provide stable dividends as well as seek to increase dividends through earnings growth.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support to the Seibu Group.
