Business

Finatext Holdings Inc. operates under the mission of "Reinventing Finance as a Service," developing a Financial Infrastructure Business centered on SaaS-based next-generation cloud core systems for securities, insurance, and credit (BaaS, Inspire, and Crest). The company partners with existing financial institutions and large non-financial corporations (companies entering Embedded Finance) to provide comprehensive support from initial implementation through ongoing operations. In addition, the company operates a DX support business for financial institutions (Fintech Shift Business) and a big data analytics and Data & AI Solutions Business utilizing POS data, credit card data, and other data sources (Big Data Analytics Business), establishing a framework for comprehensively supporting the digital transformation of financial services.

Business Model

In the Financial Infrastructure Business, revenue is generated across three tiers: initial system development fees for partner companies (flow revenue), monthly fixed usage fees (stock revenue), and volume-based fees linked to securities trading, insurance premiums, and interest commissions. Since partner companies handle marketing to their own customers, the company's customer acquisition costs are kept low, resulting in a structure where profit margins improve as the number of partners and end users increases. In the Big Data Analytics Business, the company receives data license fees and development outsourcing fees.

Company Strengths

Because the Financial Infrastructure Business is deeply embedded in partner companies' operations, churn rates are low, making it easier to maximize customer LTV. As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), BaaS had 28 services in operation, Inspire had been implemented by 17 companies, and Crest was operating at 5 companies, bringing the cumulative number of partners to 50 (up 18 from the previous period), steadily expanding the recurring revenue base.

As of the end of March 2026, engineers, project managers, designers, and web directors accounted for 69% of the entire group, forming an advanced development and operations structure that integrates finance and technology. R&D expenses for the period totaled ¥146,485 thousand, and capital expenditure (software) amounted to ¥234,680 thousand, reflecting continuous functional expansion.

The ability to provide the three businesses—Financial Infrastructure (core systems), Fintech Shift (DX and marketing support), and Big Data Analytics (data and AI utilization)—as an integrated offering is a key differentiator from competitors. This competitiveness is supported by implementation track records at major financial institutions such as Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities and SBI Insurance.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The operating margin for FY2026 (ending March 2026) improved significantly to 17.2% (from 12.3% in the previous period). While revenue increased 43.5%, the growth rate of SG&A expenses was contained to 37.5%, revealing the emergence of a leverage effect. In the FY2027 (ending March 2027) forecast, revenue of ¥15,500 million (+40.2%) is expected alongside operating profit of ¥3,338 million (+75.6%), implying further margin improvement (forecast at 21.5%). This suggests that the health of the revenue structure as a SaaS business is progressing.

Cash flow from operating activities for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥-267 million (compared to ¥-945 million in the previous period), showing an improving trend but still negative. The main causes were an increase in operating loans receivable (¥-1,694 million) and increases in deposits and short-term guarantee deposits in the securities business. Cash and cash equivalents remain at a certain level of ¥3,839 million, but the company continues to rely on funding through long-term borrowings (¥1,500 million). The timing of a turn to positive free cash flow will be an important point to monitor for investment decisions.

As an external factor, the acceleration of digital transformation in financial services is a tailwind for the company, with adoption by major financial institutions occurring one after another. On the other hand, usage-based revenue in the securities infrastructure business is linked to the AUM of discretionary investment services provided by partners, meaning that fluctuations in the stock and bond markets directly affect revenue. Continued attention is warranted regarding the risk that a slowdown in the growth of usage-based revenue could occur if the financial products market were to stagnate.

Growth Strategy

Expanding financial infrastructure partners and enhancing functionality, together with fostering new businesses in the data and AI domain, to drive multi-layered growth

The company is advancing on two fronts: flow revenue from initial development support for new partners, and increasing usage-based revenue as existing partners' AUM grows. The number of live services expanded from 19 to 28, and adoption by major players such as Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities has strengthened the revenue base.

The number of adopting companies rapidly expanded from 11 to 17, driven by new adoptions such as SBI Insurance. Continued investment in functional enhancement is accelerating the acquisition of new partners, and revenue from the Insurance Infrastructure business rose 7.8% year on year to ¥1,377 million.

The number of operating companies expanded from 2 to 5, driven by adoptions such as JCOM Financial. The company continues to invest ahead of demand in platform development, and revenue grew 110.0% year on year to ¥599 million, entering a phase of rapid growth.

The company has built a comprehensive support structure covering everything from data warehousing to business application development, centered on support for generative AI utilization. Revenue expanded roughly 2.4-fold, from ¥497 million in the prior period to ¥1,216 million in the current period, making it a key growth engine for the Big Data Analytics Business.

The company is advancing functional enhancements and new customer acquisition for the real estate industry solution released in the prior period. Revenue expanded roughly 2.9-fold, from ¥144 million in the prior period to ¥416 million in the current period, progressing revenue diversification into industries beyond finance.
