Business

Hatch Work Inc. is composed of two core businesses: the Monthly Parking Innovation business, centered on the online management support service "@Parking Cloud" for monthly-contract parking lots, and the Building Innovation business, which operates rental meeting rooms, shared offices, and rental offices. Its main customers are real estate management companies (outsourcing partners for monthly parking lot management) as well as corporate and individual users of parking lots and meeting rooms. Founded in 2000, the company changed to its current name in 2018 and shifted its focus to the monthly parking DX business. It listed on the Growth Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in March 2024. Its purpose is "Bringing eggs of possibility to society," and its mission is "CREATE FUTURE BASE."

Business Model

In the Monthly Parking Innovation business, system usage fees for management companies (¥15,000 per month or free) are set low to lower the barrier to adoption, while the main revenue consists of stock-type revenue from parking users, including initial guarantee fees, monthly guarantee fees (5% of usage fees), settlement fees, and re-billing fees. This is a structure in which revenue expands as the number of registered vehicles accumulates. In the Building Innovation business, rental meeting rooms and similar facilities are operated under two formats—direct operation and outsourced operation—generating usage fee income.

Company Strengths

AP Cloud registered vehicle count increased approximately 26.6% year-over-year, from 374,032 units at end-December 2024 to 473,535 units at end-December 2025. AP Cloud service ARR reached ¥1,471,219 thousand, and the structure in which recurring revenue such as guarantee fees and settlement commissions from parking users accumulates provides high revenue stability and sustainable growth.

A positive cycle continues: expansion of parking lots leads to increased customer traffic, which improves ratings and promotes new adoption. The number of listed parking lots exceeded 65,000 locations (as of end-December 2025), and against the backdrop of a business alliance with Hatomark Support Organization, the largest real estate industry association, nationwide expansion of brand recognition and listing coverage area is progressing. This forms a structure in which it becomes increasingly difficult for competitors to catch up as scale expands.

Revenue increased 34.2% over two years, from ¥2,056 million in FY2023 to ¥2,759 million in FY2025. Operating profit expanded approximately 11.5-fold over the same period, from ¥21 million to ¥242 million, with the operating profit margin improving substantially from 1.0% to 8.8%. Net income also increased from ¥78 million to ¥247 million, confirming numerically the shift toward a profitable business structure.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Operating profit for Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026) fell sharply to ¥13 million from ¥74 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Despite gross profit expanding to ¥445 million (up 16.8% year-on-year), the main causes were a sharp increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to ¥432 million (up 40.8% year-on-year) and an expansion of the company-wide expense adjustment to negative ¥169 million (versus negative ¥111 million in the same quarter of the previous year). The upfront investment phase, including new store openings in Minami-Aoyama and Shimbashi and office relocations, is continuing, and normalization of expense levels and profit recovery from Q2 onward will be key to achieving the full-year forecast (operating profit of ¥204 million).

The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) remains unchanged at net sales of ¥3,385 million (up 22.7% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥204 million (down 15.6% year-on-year), but the Q1 progress rate for operating profit remained at only about 6.4%. Sales contribution from the new rental meeting rooms in Minami-Aoyama and Shimbashi (opened in April 2026) is expected to become substantial from Q2 onward, resulting in a revenue structure weighted toward the second half. As an external factor, rising prices and persistently high energy costs could affect the cost side of the rental meeting room business, making progress monitoring important.

On May 8, 2026, the company issued 450 paid stock options (45,000 underlying shares, approximately 2.35% of shares outstanding). The exercise conditions require operating profit before amortization of goodwill exceeding ¥1.0 billion in any fiscal year from 2028 to 2030, and a share price exceeding ¥5,213 (equivalent to a market capitalization of approximately ¥10.0 billion), meaning that if the conditions are met, it would signify a significant increase in enterprise value. The absolute amount of dilution is limited, and given the strictness of the exercise conditions, the alignment with shareholder interests can be judged to be high. On the other hand, this suggests a full-scale shift toward M&A strategy, and future capital policy trends warrant attention.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for deepening DX and sustained growth through expansion of AP Cloud registered units and rollout of a new labor-saving model for rental conference rooms

Through active sales activities, the company continues to expand both the number of contracted companies and AP Cloud registered units. At the end of Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), registered units reached 487,114 (up 23.7% year-on-year), with ARR expanding to ¥1,765,333 thousand. The accumulation of recurring revenue creates a structure that generates profit leverage.

Against the backdrop of a business alliance with the largest real estate industry association, the company is promoting increased awareness of 'At Parking' and expanding the nationwide coverage area for listed properties. This is expected to enhance customer acquisition capabilities for management companies and strengthen a spiral of promoting new adoptions.

Utilizing real-time vacancy information, the company is expanding 'Disaster Station' in collaboration with local governments. Through strengthening sales personnel, promoting management system registrations, and reinforcing relationships with management companies, the company aims to simultaneously raise awareness as social infrastructure and acquire new customers.

New rental conference rooms opened in Minami-Aoyama and Shimbashi on April 1, 2026. Following the upfront investment phase, revenue contribution is expected to become substantial from Q2 onward. The rollout of a new labor-saving model aims to improve profitability and accumulate operational know-how.

As indicated by the exercise conditions for the paid stock options issued in May 2026 (operating profit before goodwill amortization exceeding ¥1.0 billion and market capitalization exceeding approximately ¥10.0 billion during 2028–2030), the company has explicitly stated growth investment including M&A as a medium- to long-term strategy for enhancing corporate value. The company has set achieving operating profit of ¥1.0 billion by 2030 as a medium- to long-term target.
