Arealink exceeds profit targets, driven by self-storage expansion

Arealink Co., Ltd. announced a robust performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with net sales reaching 20,734 million yen (up 7.5% year-on-year) and ordinary profit increasing by 17.2% to 4,187 million yen. Net income surged by 17.9% to 2,940 million yen, exceeding the company's full-year plan achievement rates of 79.7% for net sales and 86.0% for net income. This growth was primarily fueled by the self-storage business, which saw net sales rise by 16.1% to 17,030 million yen and business profit by 17.0% to 4,652 million yen, largely compensating for a planned downsizing of the land rights consolidation business.

The self-storage segment, Arealink's growth driver, added 13,113 new units in the first three quarters, nearing its annual target of 15,000 units for FY12/25. Despite increased unit count, the overall utilization rate maintained a high 82.14%, indicating effective property management and market penetration.

The company also announced a two-for-one common share split effective November 1, 2025, aiming to enhance share liquidity and expand its investor base. This share split is reflected in revised basic earnings per share figures, which for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, would be 57.88 yen after the split.
