Business

Booking Resort Co., Ltd. operates under the philosophy of "updating the accommodation industry," pursuing two business lines: a customer acquisition support business that operates "Resort Glamping.com," a booking platform specializing in glamping and resort facilities, along with "Inuyado," a platform specializing in pet tourism; and a directly managed accommodation business in which the company plans and operates its own lodging facilities. Its primary customers are small-scale lodging facilities with roughly 6 to 7 rooms, and as of the end of April 2025, the platform listed 364 facilities comprising 2,478 rooms. The company listed on the Growth Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in February 2025. Site user numbers reached 43,949 thousand for the full fiscal year ended April 2025, with membership exceeding 60,000.

Business Model

In the Customer Acquisition Support business, a success-fee model is adopted whereby fees are incurred only when a reservation is finalized, minimizing the initial cost burden on client facilities while aligning their interests with the company's. Under Full Support, the company advances the costs of advertising and site production, recovering them after revenue is generated. The Directly Operated Lodging Business functions simultaneously as a revenue source and a proving ground for operational know-how, with the insights gained fed back into the enhancement of the Customer Acquisition Support Services. For FY2025 (ending April 2025), sales were ¥1,130 million for the Customer Acquisition Support business and ¥326 million for the Directly Operated Lodging Business.

Company Strengths

The company operates "Resort Glamping.com" (Risoto Guranpingu Dotto Komu), specializing in glamping resorts, and "Inuyado," specializing in pet tourism. In FY2025 (ended April 2025), cumulative annual site users exceeded 43,949 thousand. Membership surpassed 60,000, achieving high-precision matching with travelers who have specific needs.

Operating margin for FY2025 (ended April 2025) was 35.4% (operating profit of ¥515 million on net sales of ¥1,456 million). The success-fee-based pricing model has kept fixed costs in check while achieving net sales growth of 37.5% year on year. Gross profit margin remained at a high level of 69.5%.

The company directly operates "Dog Villa Chiba Minamiboso," "RIVERSIDE CAMP FIELD CHICHIBU," and "Chichibu Bettei Komura," accumulating on-site facility operation know-how and traveler data. This is leveraged to improve the precision of consulting in the customer acquisition support business, forming a unique structure rarely seen among peers.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Revenue from the customer acquisition support business grew solidly, up 14.0% year on year (from ¥1,130 million to ¥1,289 million). The number of listed rooms expanded 30.3% year on year to 3,229 rooms, outpacing revenue growth, indicating substantial room for future monetization. On the external environment side, Japan Tourism Agency statistics show that domestic total overnight stays for May 2025–April 2026 were weak, down 2.5% year on year, so the expansion in listed rooms despite headwinds in the market environment can be viewed as evidence of the company's strong sales capability.

Operating profit for FY2026 (ending April 2026) turned to a decline, at ¥509 million (down 1.1% year on year), with the operating profit margin falling from 35.4% to 29.6%. The main cause was a substantial increase in SG&A expenses (up 40.5% year on year) associated with personnel expansion, marketing investment, and acquisition of directly operated facilities. The forecast for FY2027 (ending April 2027) also points to flat operating profit of ¥508 million (down 0.1% year on year), and the timing of margin recovery amid the continuing investment phase will be a key focus of investment decisions.

In March 2026, the company acquired 500,000 shares (¥490 million) via ToSTNeT-3, implementing shareholder returns. Meanwhile, the period-end balance of cash and cash equivalents halved from ¥1,292 million to ¥659 million. Operating cash flow remained positive at ¥333 million, but given the acquisition of the first property under the facility revitalization/resale business (¥78 million in real estate for resale in process) and future strategic investments, attention should be paid to the decline in financial flexibility. Repayment of borrowings (long-term borrowings of ¥354 million) is also ongoing.

Growth Strategy

Evolving into a comprehensive support company for the lodging industry through three pillars: customer acquisition expansion, inbound tourism response, and facility revitalization

Strengthening new customer acquisition to further expand the number of listed rooms. As of the end of April 2026, 3,229 rooms had been achieved (up 30.3% year on year), and the scope for further monetization continues to expand. Marketing investments, including exhibition participation, are also being carried out.

Advancing the construction of a reservation platform for inbound travelers to Japan, while strengthening collaboration with overseas travel agencies. Know-how gained through the OTA utilization pilot at "Kofu no Yado Asafuji" will be deployed horizontally across client facilities nationwide, accelerating the capture of inbound demand.

Acquired and opened in December 2025 through a business transfer. It functions as a base for accumulating inbound customer acquisition and operational know-how, creating synergies with the Customer Acquisition Support Business. Revenue of the Directly Operated Lodging Business is expanding, reaching ¥430 million (up 32.2% from ¥325 million in the previous period).

In the Facility Revitalization & Resale Business, newly launched during the current period, the aim is to establish the business model through the successful closing of the first-phase project (real estate for sale in progress of ¥78 million already acquired), and to strengthen the framework to make it a revenue pillar from FY2028 (ending March 2028) onward.

Actively rolling out measures to raise awareness of specialized portal sites such as "Resort Glamping.com" and "Inuyado," maximizing direct inflow from consumers. Raising the direct sales ratio simultaneously improves the profitability of client facilities and strengthens the company's competitive advantage.
