Obayashi Corporation holds briefings and construction site tours to provide institutional investors and securities analysts with a better understanding of its business performance and operations.

On March 25, 2026, Obayashi held the Obayashi Singapore Business Briefing online, attended by 43 institutional investors and securities analysts from Japan and overseas.

Since entering the Singapore market in 1965, Obayashi has been involved in urban development and infrastructure projects there. Today, Obayashi continues its operations through its local subsidiary, Obayashi Singapore, which also plays a central role in creating synergies with other Group companies across the Asia-Pacific region.

As interest from institutional investors and securities analysts continues to grow in the Obayashi Group’s business in Asia, Lee Aik Seng, Managing Executive Officer, Head of Asia-Pacific Regional Headquarters, and CEO of Obayashi Singapore, together with other members of the management team, explained the roles and business overview of the Asia-Pacific Regional Headquarters and Obayashi Singapore, as well as future growth strategies.

Specifically, the briefing covered growth prospects for construction investment in Asia, as well as business opportunities due to stable demand in the Singapore construction market. It also addressed initiatives in growth areas such as data centers and infrastructure, a locally driven management structure, and efforts to strengthen competitiveness through the effective utilization of diverse human resources. In addition, Obayashi shared the Group’s strategy for expanding its earnings base in Asia and advancing business operations centered in Singapore to achieve sustainable growth.

The briefing also introduced initiatives to enhance the Group’s technological capabilities and productivity, including the adoption of automation and robotics at construction sites, as well as research and development activities led by the Obayashi Construction-Tech Lab Singapore (OCLS).

During the Q&A session, participants raised a wide range of questions, including medium- to long-term potential for revenue and profit growth, measures to improve profitability, and the factors behind Obayashi’s ability to establish a competitive business operation in Singapore and differentiate itself from competitors. They also expressed interest in the potential to deploy technological expertise and business models across other regions, including Japan and North America, as well as other subsidiaries in Asia, and in the impact of geopolitical risks and rising energy costs on business performance.
In response, participants received explanation of Obayashi’s competitive advantage has been built on a locally driven management structure, under which it has expanded its order intake from public sector projects as well as projects commissioned by local and multinational clients, thereby strengthening its earnings base. Obayashi also highlighted its efforts to create synergies through the sharing of technologies and expertise across the Group, as well as its risk management approach rooted in local business practices.

Obayashi will continue striving to foster constructive engagement with our shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders as well as to enhance information disclosure.
