ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue increased for five consecutive periods, from ¥4,774 million in FY2021 to ¥8,134 million in FY2025. In Q1 of FY2026 (ending December 2026), revenue was ¥2,248 million (+15.7% YoY), operating profit was ¥338 million (+34.0% YoY), and quarterly net profit was ¥218 million (+27.4% YoY), with both the revenue growth rate and profit growth rate accelerating significantly from the same period of the previous year (revenue +7.6%, operating profit +15.4%). The main drivers of revenue growth were continued orders for public and social infrastructure and new customer acquisition in the information & communications and banking sectors. As an external factor, IT investment demand in the market environment remains solid (according to the Bank of Japan's Tankan survey for March 2026, software investment across all industries increased +4.4% year-on-year). The full-year forecast (revenue of ¥9,444 million, operating profit of ¥1,000 million) remains unchanged.
Growth Strategy
Under "Go Beyond," the company aims to improve profitability through high-value-added SI, AI utilization, and expansion of the IT Service Business
The company is implementing proactive investment in human resources with the aim of strengthening orders for high-profitability projects. The operating margin of 15.1% in Q1 of FY2026 (ending March 2026) represents a significant improvement from 12.9% in the same period of the previous year, demonstrating the effect of the shift toward higher value-added operations in numerical terms.

In Q1 of FY2026 (ending March 2026) as well, new customer development targeting the information and communications industry and banking sector contributed to revenue growth.

The company continues to promote the development of human resources aimed at accelerating the absorption of advanced technologies, expanding collaboration with business partners, and enhancing service provision.
