First-Half 2024 Financial Results:

Results compare the six months ended June 30, 2024, to the six months ended June 30, 2023, unless otherwise indicated. Results below are for SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. on a consolidated basis.

• ● Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased to ¥10,564,041 thousand ($65.7 million based on an exchange rate of $1.00 = ¥160.88 on June 30, 2024, hereinafter the same) from ¥9,318,404 thousand ($57.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase of ¥4,595,491 thousand ($28.6 million) in real estate sales, with 162 units sold during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 110 units during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as well as the sales of two entire buildings. On the other hand, sales of large-scale development sites decreased by ¥3,527,071 thousand ($21.9 million). In the renewable energy sector, solar power plant sales increased by ¥303,171 thousand ($1.9 million). On July 1, 2024, SYLA Solar absorbed renewable data center company (SYLA Biotech Co., Ltd.) to further grow its business and enhance corporate value by leveraging internal resources and sales channels.
• ● Gross profit decreased to ¥1,944,954 thousand ($12.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from ¥2,340,856 thousand ($14.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Despite an increase in the number of units and buildings sold, this was offset by a decline in large-scale development site sales that reduced our gross profit.
• ● Total operating expenses decreased to ¥1,750,353 thousand ($10.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from ¥1,906,117 thousand ($11.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease mainly consists of a ¥295,729 thousand ($1.8 million) decrease in legal and professional expenses and consulting fees including the costs for IPO to NASDAQ as well as listing maintenance costs, including audit expenses and legal fees for compliance with disclosure requirements and related matters. This decrease is offset by an increase of ¥84,648 thousand ($0.5 million) in personnel expenses due to hiring for future business expansion.
• ● Net loss attributable to SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. was ¥67,257 thousand ($0.4 million) (¥255.99 ($1.59) per basic and diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income attributable to SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. of ¥249,979 thousand ($1.6 million) (¥1,002.63 ($6.23) per basic share and ¥834.02 ($5.18) per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Despite an increase of ¥96,162 thousand ($0.6 million) in gains from the sale of investment securities classified as other income, the net income decreased due to higher interest expenses resulting from increased borrowings for real estate development expenditures and investments aimed at business expansion.
• ● As of June 30, 2024, SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. had ¥2,381,394 thousand ($14.8 million) in cash and cash equivalents.
