Business

Azoom, Inc. was founded in 2009 as a real estate x IT company under the corporate mission of "Eliminating 'Mottainai' (Waste) from the World." In its core Idle Asset Utilization Business, the company operates Japan's largest monthly parking portal site, CarParking (Monthly Parking Referral Service), around which it develops a parking referral service (fee income) and a parking sublease service (rent income). The referral service is offered nationwide across all prefectures, while the sublease service operates in five areas: Hokkaido, Kanto, Tokai, Kansai, and Kyushu. The company's consolidated subsidiaries include Teppeki Co., Ltd. (Monthly Parking-Specialized Rent Guarantee Service), which provides rent guarantees, an operator of a web reservation system, and CGworks Co., Ltd., which handles 3DCG and VR production. In June 2025, the company changed its market segment from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market to the Prime Market.

Business Model

Using internet inflow to "CarParking" as the customer acquisition engine, the business combines (1) a referral service (flow income) that earns fees from both parking lot owners and users, and (2) rent income (stock income) generated by master-leasing vacant spaces from owners in bulk and subleasing them to users. As of the end of September 2025, the company had achieved 35,381 master-leased spaces, 32,883 subleased spaces, and an average annual occupancy rate of 93%. The structure is such that as stock-type rent income accumulates, the earnings base becomes increasingly stable.

Company Strengths

Revenue expanded approximately 2.7-fold from ¥4,974 million in FY2021 (ended September 2021) to ¥13,480 million in FY2025 (ended September 2025). Operating profit grew approximately 5.1-fold over the same period, from ¥508 million to ¥2,613 million. In FY2025 (ended September 2025), revenue increased 27.9% year-on-year and operating profit increased 43.0% year-on-year, with the pace of profit growth accelerating; there has not been a single period of declining revenue or profit since listing.

The number of master lease units expanded approximately 2.5-fold from 14,403 units at the end of FY2021 (ended September 2021) to 35,381 units at the end of FY2025 (ended September 2025). The number of sublease units also increased over the same period, from 13,261 units to 32,883 units, while the average annual occupancy rate has been maintained at 92-93% for five consecutive periods. The accumulation of stock-type rental income supports the stability of earnings.

The number of annual inquiries to CarParking surged 34.8% year-on-year, from 297,600 in FY2024 (ended September 2024) to 401,110 in FY2025 (ended September 2025). The shift in customer inflow from traditional store-based real estate brokerage to internet-based channels is accelerating, and a structure has been confirmed in which the number of transactions can be expanded while keeping customer acquisition costs down.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥995 million for the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026) represents a progress rate of 45.2% against the full-year forecast of ¥2,200 million. This exceeds the progress rate for the same period of the prior year (¥760 million ÷ ¥1,832 million = 41.5%), suggesting room for upside to the full-year forecast depending on second-half performance. As an external factor, the ongoing expansion of demand for internet-based services in the monthly parking market continues to serve as a tailwind.

Cost of sales for the interim period rose to ¥4,646 million (cost of sales ratio of 59.5%) from ¥3,700 million (58.6%) in the same period of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased to ¥1,774 million (from ¥1,464 million in the same period of the prior year), with both gross profit margin and operating profit margin showing a slight downward trend. Rising costs associated with the expansion of sublease units and increased personnel costs are compressing profit margins, making future expense control key to profit growth.

Cash flow from financing activities showed a significant outflow of ¥1,264 million (including dividend payments of ¥1,300 million), but the cash balance at the end of the interim period was maintained at ¥5,265 million. Meanwhile, in the sublease business, the risk of bearing rent guarantee obligations in the event of vacancies increases as the number of units expands. In addition, customer acquisition for CarParking (Monthly Parking Referral Service) relies heavily on search engines, and the risk of reduced inflow due to external factors such as algorithm changes continues to warrant close monitoring.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing sustainable growth through three pillars: strengthening CarParking customer acquisition, expanding sublease unit numbers, and nurturing new services

Against a backdrop of increasing user inflow via the internet through CarParking, the company is promoting stronger sales capabilities among existing employees and improved operational efficiency through IT utilization. Master lease units reached 39,886 and sublease units reached 37,283 at the interim period-end, showing steady expansion.

The company aims to diversify revenue in the Idle Asset Utilization Business through an increase in the number of newly introduced rooms for the web reservation system Smart Kukan Yoyaku, expansion of customized offerings across multiple industries, and steady growth in the number of rent guarantee service contracts at Teppeki Co., Ltd.

The Visualization Business, which recorded a segment loss of ¥4 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year, turned to a segment profit of ¥19 million in the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026). Monetization is being accelerated through strengthening the offshore production system at the Vietnamese subsidiary (CGWORKS VIETNAM INC.) and expanding new services such as VR virtual shops.

The company is strengthening the system development and graphic data production framework at AZOOM VIETNAM INC. and CGWORKS VIETNAM INC., continuing to improve development cost efficiency and pursue IT technology development that enables continued sales operations in remote work environments. Expenditure on acquisition of intangible fixed assets increased year on year to ¥171 million in the interim period.
