Business

SD Entertainment, Inc. is a company founded in 1954 and originating from Hokkaido, currently operating the Wellness Business (fitness clubs, licensed daycare centers, company-led daycare centers, nursing care facilities, etc.) as its core business. Across the group, including 4 consolidated subsidiaries, the company operates 15 fitness locations and 60 daycare/nursing care locations (as of the end of FY2026, ending March 2026), and also engages in Online Crane Game (Creation Business), a Real Estate Leasing Business for self-owned properties, and Other businesses such as call center operations and office supply sales. Its main customer base spans a wide range of ages from juniors to seniors, with support for physical and mental health in the "100-year life era" positioned as the foundation of its business. Consolidated net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥5,155 million.

Business Model

In the Wellness Business, the company accumulates recurring revenue such as fitness membership fees, daycare usage fees, and nursing care benefit payments. In the Real Estate Leasing Business, it earns stable rental income from properties it owns (with a profit margin exceeding 66%). In its Other businesses, it secures external revenue through call center outsourcing and the Kaunet Agency Business and E-commerce & Mail Order Business. The company also utilizes subsidies such as human resources development support grants as extraordinary income, forming a structure that partially offsets personnel training costs.

Company Strengths

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), capacity in the daycare, nursing care, etc. segment expanded from 46 locations in the previous fiscal year to 60 locations, and segment sales achieved high growth of 123.6% year-on-year. The multi-store rollout of the Type B Employment Support Facility "Revive" has contributed to improved utilization rates, shifting the group's overall sales composition toward the Wellness Business (approximately 83% of sales).

In the daycare business, "English Time" was introduced and rolled out sequentially to other facilities starting from Camellia Kids, resulting in enrollment rates remaining at consistently high levels. In fitness, the "Pre-Chorégraphié" (standardized) program was introduced centered on "Star Pilates," aiming to stabilize lesson quality and acquire new members.

The Real Estate Leasing Business, which utilizes company-owned properties, is a stable earnings source boasting a profit margin of over 66%, with sales of ¥168 million and segment profit of ¥112 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Vacancy countermeasures, such as continued use of event-based occupancy, are also being implemented, contributing to supporting the group's overall earnings.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved strong revenue growth to ¥5,155 million, but SG&A expenses swelled from ¥3,814 million to ¥4,617 million due to upfront investments such as new store launch costs and increased recruitment/training expenses, causing operating profit to decline from ¥98 million to ¥72 million. The operating profit margin worsened from 2.3% to 1.4%. Net income of ¥215 million relies on a one-time profit factor of ¥308 million in subsidy income, and it should be noted that underlying earnings power on an ordinary income basis (ordinary income of ¥43 million) remains fragile.

The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2026) projects revenue of ¥5,300 million (up 2.8% year on year) and operating profit of ¥350 million (up 386.6% year on year), anticipating a significant improvement in profit. The key initiatives are multi-store expansion of the Type B Employment Support Facility "Revive" and maintaining daycare enrollment rates, but there is a high hurdle to achieving more than a fivefold improvement in operating profit margin amid the possible disappearance of the ¥308 million in subsidy income recorded in FY2026 (ending March 2026) and continued upfront investment costs. Substantial improvement in operational efficiency is essential to achieving the forecast, and progress monitoring will be important.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), operating cash flow increased significantly to ¥612 million (up sharply from ¥85 million in the prior period), and the cash and cash equivalents balance at period-end surged to ¥1,025 million (from ¥486 million in the prior period). The debt redemption period improved rapidly from 72.2 years (FY2024, ended March 2024) to 22.0 years (FY2025, ended March 2025) to 3.3 years (FY2026, ended March 2026), and the interest coverage ratio also improved significantly from 0.8 to 2.3 to 16.6. The equity ratio also improved to 38.4%, and the recovery in financial soundness is a clear positive factor. However, the level of short-term borrowings at ¥1,260 million continues to warrant attention.

Growth Strategy

Expansion of the Wellness Business through multi-store rollout of the Type B Employment Support Facility "Revive" and differentiated childcare programs

Both "Revive" facilities opened in the prior fiscal year and those opened through September of FY2026 (ending March 2026) saw steady growth in user numbers and occupancy rates. In FY2027 (ending March 2027), business expansion through multi-store rollout is positioned as the key initiative, with further sales growth expected in the daycare/nursing care and other segments.

"English Time," introduced at Camellia Kids, has received high praise from users and is being progressively rolled out to other Group-operated daycare centers. It supports stable growth in the daycare segment by maintaining high enrollment levels and acquiring new enrollees through differentiation.

The introduction of a standardized pre-choreography program for beginners has stabilized lesson quality. While maintaining steady performance at existing stores, the company is absorbing the impact of sales from stores that were closed in the same period of the prior year, thereby maintaining the earnings base of the Fitness segment.

By utilizing the Human Resources Development Support Subsidy to partially offset training and recruitment costs, the company is advancing human resource development while curbing upfront investment costs. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), subsidy income of ¥308 million was recorded, contributing significantly to the improvement in net income.

In addition to the existing four businesses, the company has stated its policy to consider new businesses and expand its business portfolio. Specific business content, scale, and timing have not yet been disclosed.
