Business

Oisix ra Daichi Inc. positions its corporate philosophy around "the dining table of tomorrow, the farmland of tomorrow" and its mission to solve food-related social issues through business. In Japan, its core businesses are a food delivery subscription service (B2C subscription business) operated under three brands—"Oisix," "Daichi wo Mamoru Kai" (Society for Protecting the Earth), and "Radish Boya"—and a contracted meal-service and food ingredient wholesale business (B2B subscription business) serving corporations, government offices, elder-care facilities, and nurseries. In the United States, the company also operates a plant-based food delivery service under the "Purple Carrot" brand. It additionally operates public-facility management contracts such as after-school childcare programs and libraries (social services business), as well as mobile supermarkets and e-commerce support for other companies, forming a group comprising 29 consolidated subsidiaries and 3 affiliated companies. Consolidated net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥251,419 million.

Business Model

In the B2C subscription business, members enter into recurring purchase agreements, generating continuous revenue through weekly home delivery of meal kits, produce, and processed foods. In the B2B subscription business, the company enters into food-service outsourcing contracts with corporations and facilities, providing an integrated package of food wholesaling, cooking, and operational management. Both businesses have a subscription-type contract structure, with churn rate management and ARPU (average revenue per user) improvement serving as the key drivers of revenue growth. The structure generates synergies through cost reductions from integrating manufacturing, logistics, and systems, as well as by applying B2C-derived product development know-how to B2B expansion.

Company Strengths

The cumulative number of meals sold under "Kit Oisix" has reached 250 million, and the product development know-how backed by this track record is a proprietary asset that competitors find difficult to replicate in a short period. By applying this know-how to the food service business, the company is promoting higher value-added and labor-saving initiatives in the B2B subscription business (a time-efficient meal service model) through the rollout of "Genki Gohan" (a ready-to-eat meal product for elderly care facilities) and commercial-use meal kits.

Specializing in the "specialty × subscription" domain, the company has established the No.1 position in gross merchandise value in the domestic food delivery subscription market, leveraging its direct network with contracted producers and its service development skills based on customer insights. The multi-layered customer coverage achieved through its three brands—"Oisix," "Daichi wo Mamoru Kai," and "Radish Boya"—also raises barriers to entry.

Following the completion of the reorganization of Shidax Group subsidiaries in September 2025, integration of the manufacturing, logistics, systems, and corporate departments is progressing. Segment profit for the B2B subscription business in FY2026 (ending March 2026) reached ¥2,908 million (up 117.0% year on year), more than doubling, confirming through actual results the standardization of operations, price optimization, and absorption of rising food material costs.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue declined slightly by 1.8% year-on-year to ¥251,419 million, but this was mainly due to a change in business structure following the sale of the vehicle operation service business (only a half-year contribution recorded), while the core business continued to grow in substance. Operating income was ¥7,339 million (up 6.9% year-on-year), and the operating margin improved to 2.9% (from 2.7% in the prior period). Segment income for the B2B subscription business improved significantly from ¥1,339 million in the prior period to ¥2,908 million, and it is worth noting that the effects of integration synergies are beginning to show in the figures. The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for operating income of ¥8,700 million (up 18.5% year-on-year), indicating a further improvement, and the continuity of this profitability improvement will be a key point of attention.

Total net assets at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) stood at ¥29,069 million, down ¥10,417 million from ¥39,487 million at the end of the prior period. The main causes were a decrease of ¥7,320 million in non-controlling interests (due to changes in equity holdings associated with making Shidax a wholly owned subsidiary) and a decrease of ¥1,596 million in capital surplus, while the equity ratio improved slightly to 25.3% (from 22.6% in the prior period). On the other hand, short-term borrowings increased from ¥10,095 million to ¥14,155 million, while long-term borrowings decreased from ¥21,401 million to ¥9,057 million, indicating a shortening of the debt structure, which continues to warrant attention from a liquidity management perspective. Goodwill balance decreased significantly to ¥7,730 million (from ¥14,837 million in the prior period), reducing M&A-related risk.

Revenue in the B2C subscription segment was ¥94,286 million (down from ¥97,152 million in the prior period), a decrease of 3.0% year-on-year. By breakdown, Oisix posted a slight increase to ¥60,114 million (from ¥59,662 million), while Purple Carrot saw a significant decline of 27.5% to ¥7,317 million (from ¥10,093 million), with the struggles of the overseas business dragging down the overall result. While the domestic food delivery market is expected to expand at an annual growth rate of approximately 3% as an external environment factor, the fact that the company's B2C segment revenue fell below the prior period suggests the need for a detailed review of membership numbers and ARPU trends. The FY2027 (ending March 2027) revenue forecast of ¥252,000 million (up 0.2% year-on-year) is effectively flat, and accelerating top-line growth remains a challenge.

Growth Strategy

Evolving into a food infrastructure company through roll-up growth in B2B subscriptions and profitability improvement in B2C

Capitalizing on the ongoing consolidation phase in the catering industry, the company continues to pursue roll-up M&A, starting with making Shidax Food Service a wholly owned subsidiary. B2B subscription revenue for FY2026 (ending March 2026) expanded to ¥83,223 million (up 8.8% year on year), and entry into the top tier of the catering industry is set as a medium- to long-term target.

Following the group reorganization in October 2025, the company integrated its manufacturing, logistics, systems, and corporate functions. Improved utilization of production lines and productivity gains driven by DX initiatives are steadily materializing, with B2B segment profit sharply improving 117% year on year to ¥2,908 million. Going forward, the company aims to establish a sustainable growth cycle through integrated operation of all processes, from product development to food delivery.

The company is applying know-how from its B2C subscription business to the catering business, promoting the introduction of the 'Taipa Kyushoku Model' (time-efficient catering model) and labor cost reductions through AI and DX utilization. Through price optimization, standardization of store operations, and optimization of procurement and logistics, the company aims to secure funds for growth investment and improve the profit margin of the B2B subscription business over the medium to long term.

The company continues to evolve its services and products, such as 'Cho-Raku Kit' and 'Deli Oisix,' making repeated refinements across every detail of the process from product development to sales. It is working to build a robust profit base that is resilient to fluctuations in the external environment, aiming to maintain and improve the FY2026 (ending March 2026) level of B2C segment profit of ¥8,265 million (profit margin of 8.8%).

In October 2025, the company transferred all shares of Shidax Holdings, Shidax, Daishinto, and five other subsidiaries, divesting non-core businesses. It recorded a gain on sale of shares of affiliated companies of ¥2,292 million, while achieving a concentration of management resources on the B2C and B2B subscription businesses. Due to the change in scope of consolidation, total assets were reduced from ¥134,564 million to ¥108,137 million.
