Key Takeaways

Kyoritsu Maintenance reported F3/27 1Q consol OP of ¥4.86bn, beating our

¥4.3bn forecast (and ¥4.2bn IFIS consensus).

We think divergence from our forecast was mainly due to cost controls (including

utilities and food costs) that exceeded our expectations. We understand results

were also ahead of the company's initial plan.

The company also announced Dormy Inn RevPAR growth at +8% YoY for July

2026, up from +3% in June, and confirming stronger growth than we anticipated.

RevPAR growth across the Japanese hotel industry is slowing; our impression is

that the company's RevPAR continues to outperform the industry at large.

We think we are now in a phase when industry-wide supply/demand and

company-specific factors need to be discussed separately. We think the key

themes are "cost performance" and "customer retention".

Recommended action: Minor positive. 1Q OP upside and YoY profit growth leave a

positive impression. However, these may already be factored in, given strong recent

share price performance, and we anticipate a growing sense that positives have

played out. We will be keeping a close eye on monthly data and cost trends.
