■Company Overview
1. Company Overview
Real Gate <5532> is a growing company developing an FWP business to regenerate old small to medium buildings in the center of the city that have been discontinued in the Shibuya area into small offices, shared offices, etc. Since its establishment in 2009, sales have increased for 15 consecutive terms. As a corporate philosophy, we have set “value for old things, creativity for real estate, and freedom in the way we work,” and we are working to embody them. The company has been leading the company since it was founded by CEO Hiroshi Iwamoto, who is qualified as a first-class architect and loves vintage architecture from overseas. Mr. Iwamoto became independent after gaining experience in site supervision, planning and sales at Goyo Construction (1893), Daikyo Co., Ltd., and Propast (3236). He also played an active role as an American football player at Goyo Construction, and he is still a powerful manager whose hobby is powerlifting. When it was founded in 2009, it was a business under the umbrella of Transit General Office Co., Ltd. The original business model was PM, but ML started in 2012, and it also advanced into design and construction after 2017. The turning point came in July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's shares were transferred due to the circumstances of the parent company, and it became a consolidated subsidiary of CyberAgent. Since it came under the umbrella of a major IT company, a business management and governance system was put in place, and two years later, in 2023/6, a speedy listing was achieved on the Tokyo Stock Exchange growth market. Currently, relationships of trust with financial institutions have also been strengthened, properties are owned and sold, and growth is accelerating due to the full use of various schemes.
2. income model
The company is a single segment of the FWP business, but since its establishment, businesses that serve as revenue models have been added. Currently, there are 5 main models, and the main business is ML. It is a business where buildings are leased and subleased with contracts of about 10 to 15 years from building owners, and rent payments take precedence at the beginning of business, but stable income can be obtained after full occupancy, accounting for 61.6% of the company-wide sales structure for the 2023/9 fiscal year. PM, which has been a business since its inception, is a business where planning and operation are entrusted by building owners, and receives fixed fee income, etc. from tenant rent income, and accounts for 6.4% of the company-wide sales structure. Regeneration property ownership (holding) is a business where people own properties and earn rent income, and accounts for 3.2% of the company-wide sales structure. Design/construction is a business that obtains construction income etc. upon completion by concluding design supervision agreements and construction contract agreements, and has characteristics that occur in connection with ML/PM, and accounts for 18.5% of the company-wide sales structure. Property sales, which the company has expanded into in recent years, are businesses that earn income from the sale of owned properties, and account for 10.1% of the company-wide sales structure. In addition to improving the financial situation, it can also lead to stable stock income by entrusting ML/PM after sale. ML/PM/holding is a stock type income model with high continuity and stability, and the total of the three accounts for about 70%. It is assumed that flow-type design/construction and property sales will eventually lead to ML and PM, and the company's strength is that it can stably accumulate stock type sales.
The company's business performance has been growing steadily since it was founded, but in particular, stock type sales (ML, PM) have been steadily piling up. Meanwhile, flow sales (design/construction) tend to fluctuate up and down. A holding model was added from the 2022/9 fiscal year, and a sale model was added from the 2023/9 fiscal year. A characteristic of the company is that it can make various proposals, such as patterns that go in from design/construction and connect to ML, and then buy and sell (capital gain) from holding (rent) and then connect to ML.
