Business

SIOS Corporation is an OSS-specialized IT company established in 1997 (formerly Ten Artni), comprising a total of 7 companies: 3 consolidated subsidiaries and 3 affiliates. Its business consists of three segments: Products & Services (proprietary software/SaaS), Consulting & Integration (SI and Generative AI Implementation Support), and Software Sales & Solutions (sales of OSS-related products). Its main products include the HA (high availability) software "LifeKeeper," the cloud workflow tool "Gluegent Flow," and the identity management tool "Gluegent Gate." The company also serves as a sales agent for Red Hat and Elastic N.V., with corporate customers in finance, education, manufacturing, and other industries as its primary targets. Net sales for FY2025 (ending December 2025) were ¥19,059 million.

Business Model

Revenue is broadly composed of three layers. Products & Services (net sales of ¥5,751 million) consists of LifeKeeper license and support revenue as well as SaaS/subscription-type ARR revenue from the Gluegent series. Consulting & Integration (¥3,459 million) consists of project-based revenue such as system development for financial institutions and educational institutions and Generative AI Implementation Support. Software Sales & Solutions (¥9,860 million) consists of sales agency and technical support for OSS-related products such as Red Hat, Inc. and Elastic N.V. Otsuka Corporation (28.5% of net sales) and Networld Corporation (12.0%) are the main sales channels.

Company Strengths

1997年創業以来OSSを事業の軸に据え、HA製品「LifeKeeper」(米国子会社SIOS Technology Corp.を通じグローバル展開)、クラウドSaaS「Gluegentシリーズ」等の自社製品を保有。Red Hatとは2003年のパートナー契約・2008年のDistribution契約を締結し、OSS商流における確固たる地位を確立している。

-> Since its founding in 1997, the company has positioned OSS (open source software) as the core of its business, holding proprietary products such as the HA (high availability) product LifeKeeper (deployed globally through its U.S. subsidiary SIOS Technology Corp.) and the cloud SaaS Gluegent series. It signed a partner agreement with Red Hat in 2003 and a Distribution agreement in 2008, establishing a solid position in the OSS distribution channel.

GluegentシリーズへのAI機能搭載(AIワークフロー・パスワードレス認証等)によりARRが伸長し、プロダクト&サービスセグメントの利益は726百万円(前年同期比48.0%増)、利益率12.6%を達成。外部環境変動に左右されにくいストック型収益基盤の構築が進んでいる。

-> The addition of AI functionality to the Gluegent series (AI workflow, passwordless authentication, etc.) has driven ARR growth, with the Products & Services segment achieving profit of ¥726 million (up 48.0% year on year) and a profit margin of 12.6%. Progress is being made in building a recurring revenue base that is less susceptible to changes in the external environment.

2025年12月期において、EBITDA目標122百万円に対し実績460百万円、ROIC目標2.8%に対し実績14.2%と、いずれも計画を大幅に上回った。販売費及び一般管理費の前年同期比404百万円削減が主因であり、コスト構造改革の実効性が数値で確認された。

-> In FY2025 (ending December 2025), EBITDA reached ¥460 million against a target of ¥122 million, and ROIC reached 14.2% against a target of 2.8%, both substantially exceeding plan. The main driver was a ¥404 million year-on-year reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, confirming the effectiveness of the cost structure reforms in numerical terms.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Operating profit of ¥177 million in Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026) represents a 39.4% progress rate against the full-year forecast of ¥450 million. This marks a substantial improvement from ¥68 million in the same period last year. While the gross profit margin declined slightly from 25.1% to 23.7% year-on-year, restrained SG&A expenses (up only 3.4% year-on-year) drove the profit expansion. Key management metrics also improved significantly, with EBITDA of ¥198 million (up 159.6% year-on-year) and annualized ROIC of 23.5% (versus 11.2% in the same period last year).

The segment profit margin for Software Sales & Solutions, the largest revenue segment, improved to 2.0% in Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026) from 1.2% in the same period last year, but remains at a low level. While sales growth in Elastic N.V. Related Products (up 28.6% year-on-year) drove overall company revenue growth, its profit contribution remains limited, and further expansion of higher-margin segments is needed to improve the revenue mix.

The equity ratio declined to 19.4% at the end of Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), down from 20.2% at the end of the previous fiscal year. Against total assets of ¥9,758 million, total liabilities stood at ¥7,759 million, indicating high dependence on debt. The majority of current liabilities of ¥7,353 million consists of contract liabilities of ¥4,012 million and accounts payable of ¥2,756 million. Net assets of ¥1,999 million improved 7.7% from the end of the previous fiscal year, but the high financial leverage remains a risk factor warranting continued monitoring in the event of external environment deterioration.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing sustainable growth through three pillars: expansion of the stock-type business model, leveraging generative AI, and developing API Solutions

The company positions the expansion of stock-type revenue centered on SaaS, subscriptions, and maintenance contracts as its most important strategy. Period-recognized revenue in the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026) expanded to ¥2,069 million from ¥1,991 million in the same period of the previous year, driven by the migration to new pricing plans for the Gluegent series and growth in the number of users.

The company is promoting the standard installation of generative AI functions in the Gluegent series, the deployment of the Elastic N.V. Related Products (RAG Implementation Consulting Service), and the expansion of orders for the Generative AI Implementation Support business. In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), Elastic N.V. Related Products significantly increased sales (up 28.6% year on year), and the capture of AI-related demand has materialized as a concrete contribution to results.

The company is promoting continued license sales and expansion of service order intake in the API Solutions domain, as well as strengthening the acquisition of projects for System Development & Implementation Support for Financial Institutions. In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), the Consulting & Integration segment profit margin improved significantly to 18.0% (from 11.4% in the same period of the previous year), reflecting the effects of measures to strengthen profitability.
