Business

Re Net Japan Group operates the "Reuse & Recycling Business" (net sales of ¥8,451 million in FY2025 (ending September 2025)), whose core comprises the Reuse Business, offering home-delivery purchase and sales under the NETOFF brand, and the Small Home Appliance Recycling Business, conducted in partnership with 748 municipalities nationwide (covering a population of over 90 million). In addition, the company operates the Social Care Business (net sales of ¥1,958 million for the same period), which runs group homes for people with intellectual and mental disabilities and handles the Welfare-Specialized Overseas Human Resources Dispatch Business. The company's management is founded on an internet-specialized model with no physical stores, together with an "ES model" that simultaneously addresses environmental (E) and social (S) issues. Its main customers are general consumers (sellers and buyers of used goods), municipalities, and users of facilities for people with disabilities and elderly care. Founded in 2000, the company is listed on the TSE Growth Market.

Business Model

The Reuse Business generates its main revenue from the margin between home-delivery purchases from users and sales through the company's own EC site, Amazon, and other channels. The Small Home Appliance Recycling Business is built on partnerships with local governments, collecting items via internet applications and home delivery, and earns revenue from selling recovered materials to recycling operators as well as from optional services such as data erasure. The Social Care Business earns revenue from nursing care fees (a stock-type revenue source) for Group Homes for People with Disabilities (Communal Living Support) and from fees related to overseas human resources dispatch. The business structure relies on an internet platform model that requires no physical stores, keeping fixed costs low.

Company Strengths

As a nationally certified operator under the Small Home Appliance Recycling Act, the company partnered with 748 municipalities as of November 2025. Coverage population has reached over 90 million people, and the company has built a proprietary collection platform incorporated as part of administrative services. Revenue from this business in FY2025 (ended September 2025) continued its stable growth, increasing 10.5% year on year to ¥2,694 million.

Home-delivery purchase and sales under the NETOFF brand operates as a fully internet-completed model without any physical stores. Reuse Business revenue in FY2025 (ended September 2025) increased 7.0% year on year to ¥5,757 million. Owing to an asset-light structure that eliminates the need to maintain physical store costs, segment profit for the Reuse & Recycling Business segment as a whole grew 25.5% year on year to ¥1,083 million.

The company has incorporated general employment and Type B Continuous Employment Support Office roles for people with intellectual disabilities into the processes of the Small Home Appliance Recycling Business, building an ES model that links with the operation of group homes for people with disabilities. This is a proprietary business structure in which the Reuse & Recycling Business and the Social Care Business complement each other, serving as a differentiating factor that pursues both social issue resolution and monetization simultaneously.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Consolidated operating profit for the interim period of FY2026 (ending March 2026) came to ¥539 million (up 394.6% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent for the interim period was ¥428 million (up 182.7% year on year), marking a substantial improvement. The main driver was the Reuse & Recycling Business, which posted segment profit of ¥983 million (up 92.0% year on year), aided by the external tailwind of accelerating migration of media and hobby merchandise to online channels. The company has revised its full-year earnings forecast upward (net sales of ¥16,200 million, operating profit of ¥1,700 million), and attention is now focused on the sustainability of this recovery.

The Social Care Business posted interim net sales of ¥795 million (down 28.1% year on year) and a segment loss of ¥11 million (versus a profit of ¥67 million in the same period a year earlier), swinging into the red. This appears to reflect front-loaded investment in the expansion of the overseas human resources dispatch business. On the financial front, long-term borrowings surged to ¥3,342 million at the interim period-end (versus ¥588 million at the previous fiscal year-end), and against total assets of ¥10,203 million, the equity ratio stood at just 14.2%. Operating cash flow remained negative at ¥237 million, and the rising financial leverage warrants attention.

The mid-term plan "Social Care Growth & Roll-up 2030," disclosed in March 2026, targets 70 to 90 facilities and Social Care Business net sales of ¥7.0-9.0 billion by 2030, but the segment is currently posting a loss in the interim period, indicating that the front-loaded investment phase is continuing. The organizational restructuring establishing RJ Social Care Group Co., Ltd. as an intermediate holding company (planned for May 31, 2026) aims to improve management efficiency, but the additional funding needs accompanying accelerated facility acquisitions through M&A, along with the timeline to profitability, will be key factors in investment decisions.

Growth Strategy

Deepening reuse and recycling while accelerating the ES model toward the Social Care Business target of 70–90 facilities by 2030

Against a backdrop of accelerating shift from physical stores to internet-based purchasing and sales in the media and hobby merchandise category, the company is enhancing brand recognition for the NETOFF brand and strengthening its handling of multiple categories including branded goods, precious metals, and figures. In the interim period of FY2026 (ending March 2026)... [note: fiscal year context corrected below]

Centered on partnerships with 768 local governments nationwide (as of April 1, 2026), the company is promoting expansion of its collection network through tie-ups with major manufacturers and retailers, as well as expanding value-added revenue through optional services such as data erasure. It also continues to enhance marketing to improve service awareness and utilization rates.

The company is accelerating direct-operation development and M&A-based facility acquisition of daytime-service-support group homes for people with moderate to severe disabilities. Through an organizational restructuring (planned for May 31, 2026) establishing RJ Social Care Group Co., Ltd. as an intermediate holding company, it aims to improve business management efficiency, targeting 70–90 facilities, Social Care Business net sales of ¥7.0–9.0 billion, and Non-GAAP operating income of ¥1.4–1.8 billion by 2030.

Against the backdrop of a domestic shortage of caregiving personnel (projected shortage of 690,000 people by 2040), the company is promoting expansion of its dispatch market into Indonesia in addition to Cambodia. While pursuing expansion measures amid robust hiring demand, the Social Care Business as a whole recorded a segment loss of ¥-11 million in the interim period of FY2026 (ending March 2026), as the business remains in an upfront investment phase.
