Business

Miki Kogyo Co., Ltd. was founded in 1952 and is headquartered in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, operating as a comprehensive construction group. The company is built on two core pillars: the construction business (building construction, civil engineering, facility installation, gas pipeline laying works, etc.) and the housing business (unit housing construction, sales, and renovation conducted by Sekisui Heim Sanyo Co., Ltd.). The group consists of 4 consolidated subsidiaries, 1 non-consolidated subsidiary, and 1 equity-method affiliate. Its main customers span a wide range including government agencies, private companies, and individual homebuyers, with the business grounded in long-term trading relationships such as gas pipeline construction work for Osaka Gas Network Co., Ltd. (a long-term contract dating back to 1956) and a unit housing sales agency agreement with Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. (in effect since 1972). The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

In the construction business, the company receives orders for building, civil engineering, facility, and gas construction work from public agencies and private clients, recognizing revenue as completed construction. In the housing business, Sekisui Heim Sanyo Co., Ltd. combines new home sales utilizing its own developed lots with renovation work to secure stable profits. While expanding construction capacity through M&A subsidiaries (such as Hyo Koumuten Co., Ltd.), the company is also contributing to improved earnings through expanded margins from additional construction work orders.

Company Strengths

Since 1956, the company has continuously received orders for gas pipeline laying work as a designated construction company of Osaka Gas (now Osaka Gas Network Co., Ltd.). In FY64, the proportion of completed construction revenue attributable to this client reached 18.7% (¥3,214,952 thousand), forming a stable order base. The contract is a long-term agreement with an automatic renewal clause.

Consolidated operating profit for FY2025 (64th term) reached ¥2,583 million, up 127.7% year on year. The ordinary profit margin on sales improved substantially from 4.2% in the previous period to 7.1%, exceeding the group's target of 5.0%. This was driven by progress on large-scale projects, expanded profitability from additional contracted construction work, and the full-year contribution of Hyo Koumuten Co., Ltd.

The company has actively pursued M&A in recent years, acquiring S.D. Design Room Co., Ltd. and Life Design Institute Co., Ltd. in January 2024, and Hyo Koumuten Co., Ltd. in August of the same year. Hyo Koumuten contributed for a full year in FY64, boosting sales in the construction business. The company aims to strengthen competitiveness through the integration of design and construction.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), sales expanded sharply, up 43.4% year on year to ¥12,639 million, while operating profit declined 4.8% year on year to ¥833 million due to higher construction costs and increased personnel expenses associated with the revision of the personnel system. The gross profit margin fell sharply from 24.6% in the same period of the previous year to 17.4%, revealing a structure in which higher sales do not readily translate into higher profit. A recovery in the profit margin in the second half is essential to achieving the full-year operating profit forecast of ¥1,800 million (up 30.3% year on year).

At the end of Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), short-term borrowings surged to ¥7,110 million (¥5,520 million at the previous fiscal year-end) due to working capital financing, and total liabilities expanded to ¥20,572 million (¥19,350 million at the previous fiscal year-end). The equity ratio declined to 43.3% (44.3% at the previous fiscal year-end). Since a cash flow statement is not prepared for Q1, the details of cash flow are unclear, but the increased reliance on borrowing poses a risk of cost pressure in a rising interest rate environment (external factor).

There is no change to the full-year earnings forecast (sales of ¥40,000 million, operating profit of ¥1,800 million), and the Q1 progress rate stands at a high level of 31.6% for sales and 46.3% for operating profit. However, profit was similarly concentrated in Q1 in the same period of the previous year, and attention should be paid to the seasonality that makes the full-year outcome susceptible to variation depending on construction progress and the timing of real estate sales in the second half. The housing business is struggling, with profit down 33.3% year on year, and the recovery of this segment is key to achieving the full-year target.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing sustainable growth through four pillars: improving profitability, securing human resources, utilizing M&A, and strengthening the financial structure

By steadily progressing on construction projects carried over from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, construction business net sales for the current quarter reached ¥8,995 million, up 77.8% year on year. Backed by solid trends in public and private capital investment, the company aims to maintain a favorable order environment and achieve full-year net sales of ¥40,000 million.

In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), personnel expenses increased due to a revision of the personnel system. Amid chronic labor shortages that pose an industry-wide challenge, this initiative aims to secure and retain human resources through improved treatment, thereby maintaining and expanding construction capacity. It is a factor squeezing profit in the short term.

The company continues to expand its construction execution capacity through M&A, including the consolidated contribution of Hyo Koumuten Co., Ltd. This strengthens the group's overall order-handling capacity, reinforces its ability to handle large-scale projects, and promotes diversification of business scope.

The company continues its strategy of agilely monetizing its held real estate assets, including through the sale of rental real estate (gain on sale of fixed assets of ¥113 million in the first quarter of FY2026, ending December 2026) and the sale of a whole apartment building. This has offset the decline in operating profit and contributed to a year-on-year increase in net profit (+8.5%).
