Business

SRE Holdings operates under the mission of "updating everyday life and healthcare through technology," running its business along two axes: the AI Cloud & Consulting (AICC) segment and the Life & Property Solutions (L&P) segment. Field data accumulated through the L&P business—which handles real estate brokerage, development, and asset management—is fed back into industry-specialized AI within the AICC segment. The resulting enhanced AI is then reapplied to real business operations, forming a "real business x AI growth ecocycle" that constitutes the core of the company's competitive advantage. Its main customers are corporate clients such as real estate companies, medical and nursing care operators, and financial institutions, with Sony Group (holding a 23.1% equity stake) serving as a major shareholder and alliance partner. The group, including 15 consolidated subsidiaries, recorded net sales of ¥32,859 million for FY2026 (ending March 2026).

Business Model

In the L&P business, real estate is planned, developed, and sold before being incorporated into subsidiary-managed funds, accumulating asset management fees—acquisition fees, interim fees, disposition fees, and others—as stock-type recurring revenue. In the AICC business, industry-specific AI cloud/BPaaS solutions trained on on-site data are sold to external customers, while also being provided on a paid basis to operating divisions within the group, establishing a rigorous feedback loop. This creates a structure in which AI accuracy improves and switching costs rise as usage increases. As of FY2026 (ending March 2026), AUM reached ¥155.2 billion (CAGR of approximately 55%), expanding the stock-type revenue base.

Company Strengths

By directly operating in the healthcare, real estate, and finance fields, the company can feed decision-making logic and business workflows from areas with complex regulations and business practices directly back into AI training. In the healthcare domain, it is advancing the grouping of operating companies and the acquisition of related businesses, further strengthening its practical data infrastructure, including billing-related data. It is building industry-specific AI that is difficult to replace with general-purpose generative AI, keeping the churn rate low and maximizing LTV.

The AUM of private real estate funds managed by subsidiary SRE Asset Management reached ¥155.2 billion as of the end of March 2026, maintaining a recent average annual growth rate of approximately 55%. The transition to a stock-revenue model, in which acquisition, interim, and disposition fees continue to be received even after developed properties are sold to off-balance-sheet vehicles, is progressing, establishing a structure that accumulates stable earnings while limiting financial risk.

The company has received license to use machine learning libraries and patents (from June 2024 to May 2029) from its major shareholder Sony Group (shareholding ratio of 23.1%), and has built a highly efficient model for property sourcing, development, and asset management by leveraging the network of over 2,000 Sony Life Planners and more than 4 million policyholders. Through collaboration with Sony Financial Group on senior residences, a system for acquiring operational data in both the medical and nursing care fields has also been established.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue reached ¥32,858 million (up 23.1% year on year) and operating profit reached ¥4,180 million (up 34.5% year on year), with profit growth substantially outpacing revenue growth, and the operating margin improved from 11.6% to 12.7%. The fact that the AICC segment achieved 41% profit growth while maintaining a high profit margin demonstrates improved profitability of the business model. The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for revenue of ¥41,800 million (up 27.2% year on year) and operating profit of ¥5,230 million (up 25.1% year on year), anticipating continued high growth. In terms of external environment, resilience in the real estate market and expanding AX/DX demand are functioning as tailwinds.

Operating cash flow for FY2026 (ending March 2026) deteriorated significantly to negative ¥8,540 million (compared with positive ¥435 million in the prior period). The main cause was inventory, which increased by ¥11,496 million year on year to swell to ¥25,304 million. To address this, short-term borrowings increased by ¥14,709 million to reach ¥18,513 million, and the equity ratio declined from 44.8% to 31.1%. While the buildup of development property inventory in the L&P business is a source of future gains on sale and AM revenue, there is a risk that inventory risk and rising funding costs could materialize simultaneously in a phase of real estate market deterioration and rising interest rates.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the L&P segment's share of revenue remained high at approximately 80% (¥26,272 million), indicating that the revenue structure's high dependence on the real estate market remains unchanged. In addition, an impairment loss of ¥579 million was recorded as an extraordinary loss due to a change in the role of a subsidiary, which was a factor causing the growth rate of profit attributable to owners of parent (up 8.5%) to substantially lag behind the growth rate of operating profit (up 34.5%). Raising the AICC segment's share of external customer revenue (¥6,507 million/¥32,858 million, approximately 19.8%) is key to medium- to long-term revenue stabilization, and progress on this front will be a focal point of evaluation.

Growth Strategy

Continued high growth of AICC combined with the shift toward an AUM-accumulation model in L&P is accelerating compound growth driven by the integration of real business and AI.

Full-scale rollout of support for major clients in the healthcare domain, expanding the range of clients that can be served. The company aims to raise the proportion of high-profitability projects through the full launch of newly developed solutions, achieving growth while maintaining a high-margin business model. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the number of contracted companies in the LH domain increased steadily, and improvement in operating margin was confirmed through greater efficiency in support operations.

By expanding off-balance-sheet asset management utilizing external funds, the company restrains financial risk while accelerating the accumulation of stable revenue such as asset management fees. Success in rent-improvement initiatives directly contributes to revenue growth by enhancing the value of owned and managed properties. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), progress was made in accumulating assets under management (AUM) in the asset management business, with the sale of developed properties and formation of funds also advanced according to plan.

The company accelerates a cycle in which on-site data from healthcare and real estate operations is fed back into AI learning, and the refined AI is then reapplied to real business operations. Rigorous feedback is ensured through a model of paid provision within the group, simultaneously raising both entry barriers and switching costs. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the data infrastructure was further strengthened through the group affiliation of operating companies and the acquisition of related businesses in the healthcare domain.

The business portfolio was restructured with the aim of improving ROE over the mid to long term. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the role of a subsidiary was converted from sales to external customers to a dedicated organization strengthening intragroup sales resources, and an impairment loss of ¥579 million was recorded. The company plans to continue optimizing the group's overall revenue structure and improving capital efficiency.
