Business Segment Performance

- Aircraft Leasing Business: Revenue rose by 9.1% to ¥7,757 million. Aircraft leasing expenses grew by 3.6% to ¥4,341 million, mainly due to an increase in leased aircraft and engines. The Group now owns and leases 12 aircraft and 1 engine, while managing 7 aircraft and 1 engine for others.
- Other Income & Expenses: Other income decreased by 14.9%, mainly due to lower sales from finance leases and reduced income from forfeiture of unutilized balls/tokens. Other operating expenses spiked by 79.9%, driven by higher impairment losses on non-financial assets.

- Compliance: No material breach of laws or regulations. Directors have complied with the Model Code and insider dealing prevention rules.
Risks & Uncertainties
- Pachinko Business Risks: Declining population, competition from other amusements, reputational risks, and potential regulatory tightening remain concerns. Over-reliance on key suppliers is also a risk factor.
- Aircraft Leasing Risks: Creditworthiness of lessees and inability to exit investments are highlighted as risks.
- Financial Risks: Exposure to foreign currency, price risk on equity securities, and interest rate risk are actively managed. Sensitivity analyses show moderate impacts from currency and interest rate movements.
Employee and Management Updates

- Director & Executive Indemnity: Liability insurance arranged for all directors and executives.
Potential Price-Sensitive Issues
- Profit and Revenue Drop: Significant declines in profit and revenue are likely to be price sensitive, reflecting operational challenges and margin pressures.
- Dividend Stability: Despite profit drops, the Company maintained its dividend payout ratio, which may provide support to the share price.
- High Leverage: The increase in gearing ratio and net current liabilities could impact investor confidence and affect share valuation.
- Share Repurchases & Float: Repurchases and maintenance of a lower public float may affect liquidity and share price dynamics.
- Business Diversification: Expansion into claw machine markets and continued aircraft leasing growth signal strategic shifts, which may be viewed favorably by some investors.
- Impairment Losses: Large increase in impairment losses on non-financial assets is a negative development and could lead to further write-downs if not managed.
Conclusion
Dynam Japan Holdings faces a challenging environment with declining profits and revenues, increasing leverage, and operational risks in both core pachinko and aircraft leasing segments. However, dividend stability, business diversification, and ongoing ESG commitments offer some positive factors. Investors should monitor further developments, especially regarding regulatory risks, asset impairments, and liquidity management. The Company’s strategic actions, including share buybacks and capital expenditure, may influence future share price movements.
