Environment Friendly Holdings Corp.
3777・Growth Market・Information & Communication
Business
Kankyo Friendly Holdings Inc. traces its origins to a software company founded in 1995 and changed to its current company name in April 2024. It is a holding company listed on the TSE Growth Market. It currently operates three segments: the Resources & Energy Business (solar power generation, energy storage, biomass, and asset management), the Reuse Business (precious metal buying and selling, and web application development), and the Environmental Business (multi-story parking, building maintenance, construction, and real estate). The company consists of 10 consolidated subsidiaries and adopts the 4Rs (Renewable, Reuse, Recycle, Reduce) as its basic management policy, with its core philosophy being the creation of a sustainable living environment. In FY2025 (ending December 2025), the company undertook a fundamental review of its business portfolio, withdrawing from the low-profitability, high-risk iPhone resale business and shifting toward a profitability-focused business structure.
Business Model
In the Resources & Energy Business, the main revenue sources are power sales income from investments in solar power plants and asset management (AM) fees from operating third-party power plants on an outsourced basis. In the Reuse Business, the company conducts on-site purchasing and sales of high-value precious metals such as gold and platinum, funded by consumption tax refunds, while also engaging in contract software development in parallel. The Environmental Business is responsible for stable revenue from multi-story parking lot maintenance contracts and new construction orders. From FY2026 (ending December 2026), a fund circulation model will also be added through "RECrowd No. 1," a crowdfunding platform specializing in renewable energy.
Company Strengths
In FY2025 (ending December 2025), order intake for the asset management business related to solar power plants achieved a 46.1% increase year on year. Owing to the accumulation of new business commission revenue and management fee income, segment profit turned positive at ¥150 million, up from a loss of ¥16 million in the previous period. An order backlog of ¥118 million offers scope for contribution to sales in the next period.
Following the withdrawal from the iPhone resale business, net sales declined sharply to ¥1,371 million (down 92.0% year on year); however, the elimination of low-profitability, high-risk transactions led to a turnaround to profitability, with operating profit of ¥110 million (versus an operating loss of ¥54 million in the previous period) and ordinary profit of ¥109 million. The shift toward profitability-focused business operations is reflected in these figures.
In the Reuse Business, net sales fell sharply to ¥329 million (down 97.9% year on year), while segment profit reached ¥118 million (up 118.1% year on year). The launch of an on-site precious metal buying and selling business funded by consumption tax refunds has advanced the shift toward a high-profitability portfolio, and an order backlog of ¥1,813 million is expected to contribute to sales in the next period.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Over the past five fiscal years, revenue included the iPhone resale business (approximately ¥16,000 million to ¥17,000 million in scale) recorded in FY2023 and FY2024, but after the withdrawal from this business, revenue sharply contracted to ¥1,371 million in FY2025. In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), revenue further shrank to ¥189 million (an annualized pace of ¥756 million). The operating profit that turned positive in FY2025 (¥110 million) fell into an operating loss of ¥13 million in 1Q FY2026. Contributing factors included the deconsolidation of Ares Co., Ltd. (elimination of revenue from the former Environmental Business), a sharp decline in fee income from the Green Finance business, and upfront initial costs associated with new businesses. As an external factor, elevated precious metal market prices have supported the profitability of the Green Recycle business, but a recovery in the profitability of the core businesses is essential for overall company performance to improve. The full-year earnings forecast has not yet been determined.
Growth Strategy
Establishing the earnings foundation for the four GX ecosystem businesses, and expanding overseas and into new areas through the Korean solar power business and Green Digital Business
The company continues to build up electricity sales revenue from domestic solar power plants while constructing a local production, local consumption model for renewable energy through collaboration with the Energy Storage Business. For perovskite solar cells, work continues on collaboration with local governments, accumulation of demonstration data, and deployment in port and coastal areas. The timing and scale of commercialization remain undetermined.
On May 11, 2026, consolidated subsidiary EF Investment made three SPCs engaged in the Korean solar power business into subsidiaries, at an acquisition cost of KRW 201,000 thousand. This is the first overseas deployment under the GX Ecosystem strategy. The amount of goodwill is currently undetermined.
Subscriptions for "RECrowd No. 1," a crowdfunding product specializing in renewable energy, began in February 2026. The company is proceeding with the origination of AM-entrusted deals and reviewing the fee structure to restore fee income. In Q1, the segment posted a loss of ¥16 million, remaining sluggish, making the origination of follow-on deals an urgent priority.
The company is advancing discussions, business scheme development, and profitability verification toward commercializing the Green Coin Mining Business, which utilizes electricity derived from renewable energy. In Q1, both revenue and profit were zero. The business carries inherent risk in that cryptocurrency market trends and electricity price fluctuations directly affect its profitability.
The company is shifting its product mix toward higher-value-added items such as gold and platinum, centered on inventory reduction, achieving segment profit of ¥83 million in Q1. Diversification is also underway through the Plastic-to-Oil Business and the Vehicle-Mounted Solar Business, among others. The change to net presentation of Metal Reuse Business transactions compresses reported revenue but improves the profit margin.
