Outlook

Sales of previously established shopping centers rose 0.7% having been positive for two consecutive months in November compared with figures for the same month last year.
Renewals and shopping center events boosted overall sales.
An important factor proved to be the onset of the seasonable cold weather from mid-November, which favoured sales of winter goods.
Classification by tenant type revealed that, among tenants claiming favorable results, women's apparel came first followed by variety goods stores.
As for anchor tenants' sales, sales of fresh foodstuffs and women's apparel showed favorable results.

The Kanto, Chubu and Chugoku regions proved the exceptions among all nine regions by recording positive results. Sales were up 1.7% in the Kanto region, 2.3% in the Chubu region and 2.5% in the Chugoku region.
The positive results of these three regions consequently turned the combined sales figure for all regions positive.
