President Message

Thank you to our shareholders and investors for your continued support. 

We have formulated a new medium-term management plan, “NANKAI Group Medium-term Management Plan 2025-2027,” covering the period from fiscal 2025 to 2027. This medium-term management plan is positioned as a plan to break away from the conventional way of doing things and to reborn as a new Nankai Group in order to continue to fulfill our social mission into the future.
 

With the spin-off of our railway business scheduled for April 2026, our current trade name, “Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd.” will be taken over by a preparatory company that will succeed our railway business, and we will change our trade name to "NANKAI Co., Ltd.”. The new trade name reflects our strong desire to drive growth toward our corporate image in 2050, while carefully nurturing the existing “NANKAI” brand. By incorporating the new trade name into the name of the “NANKAI Group Medium-term Management Plan,” we are also expressing our commitment to the period during which the NANKAI Group will be reborn as a new organization.
 

Recognizing the challenging future our businesses face as the population decline accelerates, our Group believes that now is the time to make an aggressive strategic move, especially as our financial situation—previously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic—has improved. During this plan period, we will focus our investments on both the real estate and public transportation businesses to achieve an “accelerated expansion of the real estate business” and a “transformation into a public transportation business that paves the way for the future,” further developing our core businesses. While this will involve a substantial investment and may temporarily slow earnings growth, it is expected to drive a significant increase in corporate value in the future.

This will be a period of many changes and challenges. However, while accelerating investment in people, the source of corporate value creation, we will take the lead and work together with our officers and employees to take action and build a corporate group that continues to grow.

We appreciate your continued support in the years ahead.
