Business Details

The company provides SaaS covering the full range of real estate business operations (leasing management, brokerage, sales, and property information distribution) on a subscription (monthly billing) model, supporting DX in the real estate market. Primary customers include real estate management companies and brokerage firms. Revenue is composed of two categories: Subscription (MRR) and Solution (initial setup, implementation support, contracted development, and agency sales of other companies' services). For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the full-year revenue mix was 85.0% Subscription and 15.0% Solution. Through the introduction of AI coding and internalization of development, the company optimized its cost structure and achieved a turnaround to profitability from an operating loss in the prior period.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Steady growth in the number of subscription customers (1,589 companies) and an increase in the average monthly fee per customer through upselling/cross-selling (up 3.1% year on year to approximately ¥157,900)
• Expansion of revenue within the existing customer base through maintenance of an extremely low churn rate (continuation of a negative churn structure)
• Optimization of cost structure and improved productivity through introduction of AI coding, insourcing of development, and adoption of small teams
• Improved scalability of the Solution business through standardization of data modernization operations
• Accelerating shift to SaaS among enterprise companies and regional core real estate firms (driven by regulatory compliance needs and rising security demand)
• Increased ARPU through expansion of transaction-based billing on 'e-Seikatsu Square' and service expansion into adjacent areas
• Expansion of DX demand in the real estate market and maximization of customer LTV through a multi-product strategy covering everything from leasing management to sales and property information distribution

Risks

• Adverse impact on business performance if the number of customers and average monthly fee per customer fail to reach planned targets
• Risk that revenue-generating effects may not materialize due to sudden market changes, given the large amount of capitalized intangible fixed assets (software) related to new SaaS development and feature expansion (period-end balance of ¥1,402 million)
• Risk of delayed response to legal and regulatory changes in the real estate market
• Risk of loss of trust due to information security incidents (leakage of personal information, customer information, etc.)
• Risk of insufficient strengthening of development and sales capabilities due to delays in human capital investment (recruitment and training)
• Foreign exchange risk related to US dollar-denominated transactions (partially hedged through forward contracts, but subject to impact from sudden yen appreciation or depreciation)
• Risk of profit pressure if selling, general and administrative expenses, such as inside sales reinforcement and increased marketing investment, exceed expectations
