Business

Prestige International Inc. is a BPO-specialized group founded in 1986, comprising 36 consolidated subsidiaries and 2 equity-method affiliates. Its main clients include non-life insurance companies, automobile manufacturers, real estate management companies, and credit card companies, and it globally operates a diverse range of BPO services including road assistance, home assist, Overseas Travel Insurance Claims Agent Service, Healthcare Program (HCP), and rent guarantee. Domestically, the company is built on a network of regional BPO centers focused on the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions, while overseas it maintains a network of subsidiaries across the Americas & Europe and Asia & Oceania. The domestic segment accounts for approximately 93% of net sales of ¥70,911 million (FY2026 (ending March 2026)).

Business Model

The company undertakes BPO operations from client companies under long-term continuous contracts, providing services through a trinity of contact center, field, and IT/DX operations. Outsourcing fee income is the main revenue source, characterized by a stock-type structure that accumulates steadily through contract continuation, business expansion, and outsourcing fee revisions. In the Financial Guarantee Business (rent, medical, and nursing care cost guarantees), guarantee fee income is also added. Under the medium-term management plan, the company is also concurrently promoting the development of a flow-type revenue model that does not depend on human capital.

Company Strengths

The company operates multiple large-scale BPO centers primarily in the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions, including Akita, Toyama, Yamagata, Niigata, Iwate, and Aomori. It has achieved stable recruitment compared to the Tokyo metropolitan area, and continues to expand outsourcing capacity, including the Aomori BPO Misawa Branch opened in April 2025 and the Akita BPO Katagami Campus (tentative name, approximately 800 seats), scheduled to begin operations in summer 2026.

The company operates seven segments: Automotive Business, Property Business, Global Business, Customer Business, Financial Guarantee Business, IT Business, and Social Business. In particular, the Financial Guarantee Business (centered on Intrust Corp.) achieved high growth, with the number of rent guarantee contracts increasing by over 10%, resulting in net sales of ¥12,282 million and operating profit of ¥2,766 million (up 18.4% year on year). New fields such as medical and long-term care guarantees are also expanding.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved net sales of ¥70,911 million (up 11.3% year on year) and operating profit of ¥8,869 million (up 11.4% year on year), setting record highs in net sales and profit at every stage. In the Customer Business, by prioritizing thorough profit management over scale expansion, operating profit rose 30.1% year on year to ¥1,037 million, demonstrating improved profit margins through project-by-project profit and loss management.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue reached ¥70,911 million (+11.3% year on year), operating profit ¥8,869 million (+11.4%), and profit attributable to owners of parent ¥5,920 million (+21.6%), setting record highs across all metrics. The substantial increase in net profit was aided by reduced tax burden from application of the wage increase promotion tax system, and it should be noted that this includes a one-time factor. On the other hand, the operating profit margin held steady at 12.5%, comparable to the prior period, and it is commendable that the structure of absorbing cost increases through price pass-through and revenue expansion is functioning.

The company's forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for revenue of ¥76,000 million (+7.2%) and operating profit of ¥9,600 million (+8.2%), indicating higher revenue and profit, while profit attributable to owners of parent is projected flat at ¥5,920 million (0.0%). Upfront investments such as the opening of the Akita BPO Katagami Campus, development of a next-generation shared platform, and AI implementation in CTI are expected to suppress profit growth, making the timing of the transition to an investment recovery phase a key point of attention. It also warrants continued monitoring that short-term borrowings increased by ¥6,000 million, causing the equity ratio to decline from 64.3% to 58.8%.

In the Automotive Business, amid continuing increases in outsourcing costs to partner companies, an agreement on outsourcing fee revisions led to an improvement from the initial-period forecast of a profit decline to flat operating profit (¥3,449 million). As an external environment factor, price inflation and wage increase pressures are expected to continue into FY2027 (ending March 2027), and continued appropriate price pass-through to clients is a precondition for maintaining the profit margin. In the domestic BPO market, corporate outsourcing demand remains robust, and maintaining negotiating power appears feasible, but there are occasional cases where price pass-through takes time, leaving a residual time-lag risk.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for net sales of ¥76,000 million in FY2027 (ending March 2027) through three pillars: base expansion, AI/DX promotion, and financial guarantee business growth

Full-scale operation of the Aomori BPO Misawa Branch, opened in April 2025, is underway, expanding the Tohoku region's network of centers from isolated points to a broader area coverage. The Akita BPO Katagami Campus (tentative name), scheduled to begin operations in summer 2026, will have a capacity of 800 seats and is planned to accelerate business expansion.

Centered on the DX Promotion Division newly established in October 2025, the company is advancing labor-saving and operational efficiency improvements through the implementation of AI functions in CTI (high-performance telephone systems). It has also begun development of a next-generation common platform utilizing data accumulated in the Automotive Business and Property Business, among others, together with agentic AI, with plans to make continued investments over the next several years.

The number of contracts in the rent guarantee business grew by more than 10%, achieving increases in both revenue and profit. The number of medical institutions adopting the medical expense guarantee service increased substantially, and the nursing care expense guarantee service achieved its largest progress to date. The company aims for further growth toward FY2027 (ending March 2027), with the accumulation of recurring revenue contributing to the stability of the group's overall earnings.

The company plans to invest in expanding dispatch service bases for Road Assist (Automotive Business) and Home Assist (Property Business). The dispatch service for rental housing under Home Assist has shown stable usage rates and revenue as awareness has grown, and the company aims for further growth through base expansion.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the dividend per share was increased from ¥24 to ¥26, and share buybacks of approximately ¥1.5 billion were conducted. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), the company plans a dividend of ¥28 per share (interim ¥14, year-end ¥14). It will also reintroduce its shareholder benefit program to appeal to a wider range of investors.
