Business

Token Corporation was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Nagoya Stock Exchange. Starting from proposals to landowners for “effective land utilization,” the company integrates construction contracting (construction business)—for apartments, rental condominiums, and rental stores—with post-completion sublease, brokerage, and management services (real estate leasing business). The group comprises 11 companies, including Naslac Corporation (construction materials manufacturing) and Token Building Management Co., Ltd. (real estate management), and operates a nationwide franchise network through its brokerage brand “Home Mate.” Its principal customers are landowners (property owners) and rental tenants, and its business model connects both parties through an end-to-end service spanning construction through management.

Business Model

In the construction business, the company undertakes design and construction based on building contracts with landowners, recognizing revenue as completed construction revenue. In the real estate leasing business, completed properties are entrusted under a sublease management outsourcing system (master lease system), accumulating rent income and management fee income from tenants. Stock-type revenue, in which rental income accumulates alongside the growing number of managed properties, forms a stable earnings base, while the construction business's order backlog (¥258,356 million on a non-consolidated basis) enhances the visibility of future sales, creating a structure with these characteristics.

Company Strengths

The occupancy rate for leased buildings at the end of FY2025 (ended April 2025) recorded 99.0%. The company has maintained a high occupancy rate through the renovation of its brokerage support systems, room-search campaigns, and the expansion of the Home Mate FC Network and the Nationwide Real Estate Company Information Network. Integrated operations spanning construction, management, and brokerage have simultaneously strengthened its proposal capability to owners and its ability to secure tenants.

At the end of FY2025 (ended April 2025), non-consolidated backlog to be carried forward stood at ¥229,138 million, and as of the end of January 2026, the non-consolidated order backlog remained at a high level of ¥258,356 million (up 16.1% year on year). Consolidated orders received in FY2025 (ended April 2025) continued to grow, reaching ¥173,439 million (up 11.1% year on year), suggesting a mid-term accumulation of completed construction revenue.

The full-scale completion of properties following the price revision implemented in FY2023 (ended April 2023), combined with improved productivity at the manufacturing plant of subsidiary NASLUCK Corporation due to a rising proportion of highly earthquake-resistant steel-frame properties, drove a sharp recovery in construction segment operating profit to ¥15,407 million in FY2025 (ended April 2025), up 185.5% year on year. Gross profit on completed construction contracts reached ¥47,265 million, up 40.7% year on year.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending April 2027) projects net sales of ¥408,218 million (up 5.6% year on year), while operating profit is expected to decline to ¥20,175 million (down 9.8% year on year) and net income to ¥14,568 million (down 9.9% year on year), indicating a profit decrease. The main factor is an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to upfront investments such as securing sales personnel and strengthening advertising. While sales growth driven by the accumulation of the order backlog can be confirmed, it will be necessary to monitor the timing of profit recovery and when the effects of the upfront investments materialize.

Based on a board resolution in December 2025, the company acquired 2,342,600 shares of treasury stock for ¥29,581 million. As a result, the equity ratio at fiscal year-end declined from 58.5% in the previous period to 54.0%, and net assets decreased from ¥133,751 million to ¥116,350 million. On the other hand, net assets per share rose from ¥9,949 to ¥10,481, confirming an EPS improvement effect as well. Attention should be paid to the balance between future additional shareholder return measures (a dividend increase from ¥360 to a projected ¥400) and financial soundness.

In FY2026 (ending April 2026), new housing starts are projected at 717,000 units (down 9.9% year on year) and new rental housing starts at 313,000 units (down 9.8% year on year), with the market environment continuing to contract. Against this backdrop, the company's consolidated order intake rose to ¥225,521 million (up 20.3% year on year), moving against the trend. External factors such as tightening lending stances by financial institutions in some areas also remain, and continued monitoring is needed regarding how far the urban-focused order strategy can offset the contraction in regional markets, as well as the quality of orders (cancellation rate).

Growth Strategy

Pursuing dual growth in construction and management through order backlog accumulation and expansion of the brokerage network

The target for non-consolidated new orders received in FY2027 (ending April 2027) is set at ¥258,000 million gross (up 17.9% year on year) and ¥237,500 million net (up 19.4% year on year). Non-consolidated order backlog at the end of FY2026 (ending April 2026) already stood at a high level of ¥271,083 million (up 18.3% year on year), which underpins the anticipated increase in completed construction revenue for the next fiscal year.

The company is advancing the optimization of store locations for directly-operated stores through openings, relocations, and consolidations near train stations and along major roads. In areas without directly-operated stores, it is expanding Home Mate FC stores and Home Mate Club (an online membership service) to complete a nationwide brokerage network. The high occupancy rate of 99.0% maintained demonstrates the effectiveness of these measures.

Amid continued elevated construction material prices, the company has consolidated its purchasing organization at headquarters to centralize cost management. Operating profit in the construction business for FY2026 (ending April 2026) increased 11.8% year on year. For FY2027 (ending April 2027), a completed construction profit margin of 29.2% is projected, with continued efforts toward cost containment.

To enable flexible proposals tailored to regional characteristics and the diverse needs of land owners and tenants, the company is expanding its lineup of products with high design value and added value. New orders in non-apartment segments such as store-front condominiums (up 52.2% year on year) and rental retail properties (up 73.3% year on year) are showing strong growth.
