Business

Sanyo Homes originated from the manufacture and sale of light-gauge steel prefabricated housing, and now operates three businesses—Housing Business (detached houses, rental housing, remodeling, and Renewal Distribution (Existing Housing Distribution)), Condominium Business (development and sale of newly-built and Renovation Condominiums), and Life Support Business (condominium management, elderly care/childcare, and robot development)—across the four major metropolitan areas of Greater Tokyo, Chubu, Kinki, and the Kitakyushu-Fukuoka metropolitan area. The company comprises three consolidated subsidiaries (Sanyo Reform, Sanyo Architect, and Sanyo Homes Community) and one affiliated company, and positions itself as a "lifelong partner" that supports customers' housing life over their entire lifetime, from new home construction to management, remodeling, and care support. Consolidated net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥50,502 million.

Business Model

In the housing business, the company undertakes construction of detached houses and rental housing using factory-manufactured lightweight steel-frame prefabricated components, generating stable order-based revenue. In the condominium business, the company acquires land, develops, and delivers completed properties in the four major metropolitan areas, recording lump-sum sales and securing high profit margins. In the Life Support business, the company builds up stock-type revenue through condominium management contracting and operation of nursing care and childcare facilities, forming a structure that supplements the earnings stability of the group as a whole.

Company Strengths

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), orders received in the housing business reached ¥23,172 million (up 112.4% year on year), and the order backlog increased to ¥15,314 million (120.7% of the level in the same period of the prior year), functioning as a leading indicator for sales in subsequent periods. The high-value-added product lineup, with ZEH ratios of 94% (detached houses) and 96% (rental housing), is supporting the expansion in orders.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the condominium business achieved high profitability, with net sales of ¥24,647 million and operating profit of ¥3,306 million (operating margin of approximately 13.4%). Real estate for sale under construction has accumulated to ¥22,059 million, securing a source of future earnings toward completion and delivery. Seven buildings were completed as planned, and value-added improvements are progressing, including the acquisition of ZEH-M certification for three buildings.

Through joint research with Fujita Health University and the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, the company publicly exhibited a "human-collaborative robotics house" at its showroom and opened the "Longevity Challenge House" (Chōju Challenge House). It has also continued to pursue proprietary technology development, including the start of construction in October 2025 of an actual building using the steel-frame-and-wood hybrid structure "KURASI'TE HYBRID." R&D expenses totaled ¥160 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026).

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved a substantial increase in operating profit to ¥2,179 million (up 128.0% year-on-year), but this performance is heavily dependent on the condominium business (operating profit of ¥3,306 million). The housing business fell into an operating loss of ¥226 million (a deterioration of ¥232 million year-on-year) due to increased SG&A expenses and other factors, and restoring profitability in the housing business remains an important challenge from the perspective of stabilizing the group's overall earnings structure.

The equity ratio improved from 30.3% in the previous period to 35.6%, aided by capital reinforcement (¥555 million) through the exercise of stock acquisition rights. Meanwhile, total short-term and long-term borrowings remained at a high level of ¥19,364 million (short-term borrowings of ¥3,790 million + current portion of long-term debt due within one year of ¥4,149 million + long-term borrowings of ¥11,425 million). Attention should be paid to the risk that rising mortgage interest rates (an external factor) could affect demand, and that rising borrowing costs (interest expense of ¥279 million, up 35% year-on-year) could pressure future profits.

The order backlog for the condominium business at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) decreased significantly to ¥4,748 million (38.9% of the year-on-year level), reflecting a reaction to the robust completions and handovers during the current period. The earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) projects revenue of ¥58,000 million (up 14.8% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥2,300 million (up 5.5% year-on-year), representing both revenue and profit growth. However, the feasibility of the condominium business's completion plans and the pace at which the housing business's order backlog (¥15,314 million) is worked through will be key to achieving these forecasts.

Growth Strategy

Promoting value-added enhancement and business domain expansion centered on ZEH, energy conservation, robotics, existing housing distribution, and new business development

The company has set a target of 100% ZEH ratio for detached housing and achieved 94% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). In the condominium business, the company has also promoted ZEH-M certification, with three buildings certified in the same period. It will continue expanding orders and differentiation by utilizing energy-saving policies (such as the Mirai Eco Housing 2026 program).

Through joint development and exhibition of a 'human-collaborative robotics house' with Fujita Health University, and the opening of the 'Longevity Challenge House' with the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, the company is advancing demonstrations of next-generation robotics support for the elderly. This is being cultivated as a new revenue source for the Life Support business.

The company is promoting a sustainable housing recycling model that applies insulation and seismic retrofitting to existing homes such as vacant houses, distributing them under the 'ECO & SAFETY' concept. It aims to expand orders by leveraging the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's policy shift 'from new construction to stock.'

In August 2025, the company signed a four-party agreement to attract a Japanese campus of an international school. To fund this project, the company issued the 3rd and 4th series of stock acquisition rights (the 3rd series achieved a capital increase of ¥555 million through the exercise of rights). The company aims to develop new revenue sources and enhance corporate value.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company completed 7 buildings, achieving net sales of ¥24,647 million and operating profit of ¥3,306 million. On the other hand, the order backlog at period-end decreased to ¥4,748 million (38.9% of the same period of the previous year), making pipeline replenishment through the accumulation of new development projects in the Kanto, Chubu, and Kyushu regions a challenge for subsequent periods.
