Business

Livin Technologies operates a DX Platform Business specialized in the housing and daily living sector, under the concept of "making information simpler, more convenient, and more comfortable." Its core service, Living Match, is a vertical media platform for the housing sector spanning 10 categories including real estate sales, land utilization, rental management, and exterior wall painting, matching real estate owners (end users) with housing-related companies (clients) online. In addition, the company provides DX Cloud services such as e-learning, AI valuation, and SFA in SaaS format, supporting clients' operational efficiency. Founded in 2004, the company listed on the TSE Mothers market (now Growth) in 2019. In October 2025, it also listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market.

Business Model

In the matching platform business, the Company collects usage fees from client companies either on a pay-per-response basis linked to outcomes such as the number of inquiries acquired from end users, or on a flat-fee basis with an upper limit. Because end users can submit inquiries to multiple companies at once free of charge, the platform has strong customer-acquisition power, generating over 240,000 inquiries annually. DX Cloud is a monthly-fee SaaS that supplements stable recurring revenue.

Company Strengths

Generates over 240,000 end-user inquiries annually, centered on 'Living Match'. The average monthly number of clients reached 2,223 companies as of the end of September 2025, continuing to expand from 1,357 companies in 2018. Its specialization as a vertical media in the housing domain is the source of its customer acquisition power.

Accumulated organic customer acquisition know-how through in-house WEB marketing. In the fiscal year ended September 2025, improved advertising efficiency contributed to results, with operating revenue increasing only 0.6% year-on-year to ¥3,593 million, while operating profit increased 143.2% year-on-year to ¥504 million. The operating profit margin improved to approximately 14.0%.

Operates 10 services: real estate sales, land utilization, rental management, real estate purchase, voluntary sale, renovation, custom-built homes, lease-back, exterior wall painting, and housing exhibition halls. Captures diverse needs in the housing and lifestyle domain on a single platform, and has a foundation for expansion into adjacent domains by leveraging client companies' networks.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Operating revenue for the first half of FY2026 (ending March 2026) (October 2025–March 2026) was ¥1,733 million (down 4.1% year on year), operating profit was ¥163 million (down 36.0%), and net income attributable to owners of the parent for the interim period was ¥91 million (down 30.2%), a sharp deterioration across all metrics following the previous period's rapid recovery. Increased headcount and personnel training investments aimed at the second core business candidate have driven up costs, clearly illustrating how the shift into a growth investment phase is weighing on profitability.

The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending March 2026) has been revised to net sales of ¥4,070 million (up 13.3% year on year), operating profit of ¥290 million (down 42.4%), and net income of ¥130 million (down 58.7%). Achieving the full-year operating profit forecast of ¥290 million, against first-half actual results of ¥163 million, requires ¥127 million in operating profit in the second half, making the earnings contribution from the consolidation of Shinei Co., Ltd. (Subsequent Event / Subsidiary) (April 2026) key to the second half. The uncertainty surrounding integration costs and the timing and scale of the earnings contribution represents a risk factor.

During the first half, the company carried out share buybacks totaling ¥322 million, resulting in net assets of ¥1,486 million (down ¥229 million from the end of the previous fiscal year) and a decline in the equity ratio to 44.9% (from 51.6% at the end of the previous fiscal year). Meanwhile, interest-bearing debt increased due to a new long-term loan of ¥480 million. The acquisition costs for Shinei Co., Ltd. (Subsequent Event / Subsidiary) (acquisition price of ¥530 million plus related expenses of ¥39 million, totaling ¥569 million) were funded from the company's own funds, and cash and cash equivalents remain ample at ¥1,965 million; however, continued attention is warranted regarding the rise in financial leverage.

Growth Strategy

Return to growth for the core Living Match business, cultivation of second-pillar businesses, and integration of Shinei to fuse digital and real (offline) solutions

Strengthening customer acquisition capabilities through improvements to the real estate sales service. Continuing to enhance organic customer acquisition through in-house WEB marketing and improving advertising cost efficiency, aiming to re-expand the core earnings base. Sales continued to decline in the interim period, and progress toward recovery has been limited.

Focusing on personnel acquisition, strengthening the sales structure, and staff training in the construction DX business Meta Jutaku Tenjijo and the exterior wall painting DX business Nuri Match. The interim period is in an investment-front-loaded phase, with rising costs pressuring profits, but the aim is monetization through improved sales productivity.

Shinei Co., Ltd. (Subsequent Event / Subsidiary), which engages in plumbing maintenance, remodeling/renovation, real estate, and general construction businesses, was made a wholly owned subsidiary effective April 1, 2026 (acquisition price of ¥530 million plus related costs of ¥39 million). This is a concrete step in the strategy of fusing digital and real (offline) approaches to

A stock split was carried out effective May 12, 2026, at a ratio of 2 shares for every 1 share of common stock held. The total number of issued shares was changed to 2,690,968, and the total number of authorized shares was changed to 8,000,000. By lowering the investment unit price, the company aims to enhance market liquidity and appeal to a broader range of investors.
