Business

DyDo Group Holdings is a pure holding company comprised of five segments: the domestic beverage business (DyDo DRINCO) as its core, overseas beverage businesses based in Turkey, Poland, and China, the pharmaceutical-related business of contract-manufactured drink medicines (Daido Pharmaceutical), the food business of fruit jelly (Tarami), and the orphan drug business (DyDo Pharma). In the domestic beverage business, vending machine channels account for approximately 90% of sales, and the company employs a unique fabless management model, without owning its own factories, concentrating management resources on product planning/development and vending machine operations. Consolidated net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥241,236 million. The group as a whole comprises 21 consolidated subsidiaries and 6 equity-method affiliates, and is pursuing sustainable growth under its 2030 vision, "Group Mission 2030."

Business Model

In the domestic beverage business, the company adopts a fabless management model that outsources manufacturing and logistics, allowing it to concentrate on product planning and the operation of one of the industry's leading vending machine networks (direct sales plus Kyoeikai partners), thereby securing stable vending machine sales. The overseas beverage business manufactures and sells products in-house in Turkey and Poland, and also undertakes contract manufacturing. The pharmaceutical-related business generates stable earnings as a dedicated contract manufacturer for pharmaceutical and cosmetics makers. The food business operates retail and export sales under a brand holding the top share in the dry jelly market. The orphan drug business is currently in the market penetration phase following receipt of marketing approval for its new drug.

Company Strengths

Vending machines account for approximately 90% of net sales in the domestic beverage business, with an integrated operation system built through direct sales and Kyoeikai (partner companies). Through a fabless management approach without owning factories, the company concentrates management resources on product planning/development and vending machine operations, while also advancing digitalization of smart operations.

ROIC for the overseas beverage business in FY2025 (ending January 2025) reached 13.7%, already achieving the 13% growth stage target set in the Medium-Term Management Plan 2026. In the Turkish beverage business, strategic price revisions and supply chain management reforms significantly improved profit margins, with segment profit for FY2025 (ending January 2025) reaching ¥5,083 million (up 357.7% year on year).

Daido Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. boasts the top share in contract manufacturing of drink formulations and pouch products, with net sales in FY2025 (ending January 2025) reaching a record high for a consolidated fiscal year. Tarami holds the top share in the dry jelly market, and segment profit for FY2025 (ending January 2025) also reached a record high for a consolidated fiscal year at ¥1,157 million.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In domestic beverage business for Q1 of FY2027 (ending January 2027), sales declined to ¥31,731 million (down 2.0% year-on-year), continuing the downward trend. The structural headwinds of increasing consumer frugality and the widening price gap between vending machine channels and other channels have not been resolved. On the other hand, segment loss narrowed significantly to ¥185 million (compared to a loss of ¥2,386 million in the same period of the previous year), reflecting reduced depreciation following the prior-period impairment and the effects of revenue improvement measures in the figures. Achieving the full-year segment profit forecast of ¥5,200 million will require continuous improvement in per-unit revenue to offset the decline in the number of operating units, and progress should be closely monitored.

Driven by strong performance in the Turkish beverage business, the overseas beverage segment achieved substantial growth in both revenue and profit. However, the application of IAS 29 (hyperinflation accounting) added accounting adjustments in Q1, increasing sales by ¥378 million and decreasing segment profit by ¥246 million. In addition, the loss on net monetary position expanded to ¥1,157 million (compared to ¥413 million in the same period of the previous year), significantly pressuring ordinary income. The full-year earnings forecast also incorporates the impact of hyperinflation accounting (sales increase of ¥600 million, operating profit decrease of ¥1,400 million, ordinary income decrease of ¥2,800 million), making it essential to compare against pre-adjustment figures to assess the actual earnings capacity.

The consolidated earnings forecast for the full FY2027 (ending January 2027) projects sales of ¥246,800 million (up 2.3% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥10,500 million (up 152.2% year-on-year), ordinary income of ¥8,400 million (up 472.5% year-on-year), and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥5,000 million, indicating a significant improvement. Q1 operating profit of ¥1,556 million represents only about 14.8% of the full-year forecast, but this is within expectations given the previous year's seasonality (Q1 was a loss-making period for the full year). Profit and loss improved significantly year-on-year, and there has been no revision to the full-year forecast; the situation calls for continued monitoring of the likelihood of achieving the earnings forecast. The risk of rising crude oil and container costs stemming from Middle East tensions has not been incorporated into the earnings forecast and should be noted as a potential downside factor.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for growth by 2030 through three pillars: re-growth of the domestic beverage business, restructuring of the overseas beverage business, and cultivation of non-beverage areas.

Improving revenue per vending machine through the strategic removal of unprofitable vending machines and installation of new machines at prime locations to promote turnover of the vending machine network, smart operation improvements, and price revisions and product portfolio optimization. Targeting full-year segment profit of ¥5,200 million for FY2027 (ending January 2027) (versus a loss of ¥2,284 million in the prior fiscal year).

In addition to continuing strategic pricing and promotional measures in the Turkey beverage business to expand both volume and unit price simultaneously, expanding contract manufacturing orders through capacity enhancement at Poland's Wosana, including the new juice beverage line (already in operation since April 2025) and the new water line (in operation from May 2026). Targeting full-year sales of ¥70,000 million (up 7.1% year on year) and segment profit of ¥7,800 million for FY2027 (ending January 2027).

Driving sales growth through the expansion of the number of patients treated with Fadaptus®, a treatment for Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, launched in January 2025. First-quarter sales for FY2027 (ending January 2027) reached ¥228 million (up 62.8% year on year), expanding steadily. Targeting full-year sales of ¥900 million (up 48.3% year on year), while continuing efforts to acquire new pipeline assets.

In the pharmaceutical-related business, targeting full-year sales of ¥14,100 million (up 4.9% year on year) on the back of continued strong orders for pouch products, though segment profit is expected to be ¥650 million (down 21.6% year on year) due to costs such as test production associated with plant reorganization. In the food business, aiming to expand sales volume through agile sales measures, with full-year sales planned at ¥20,500 million (up 4.8% year on year).
