Business
Environmental Control Center Co., Ltd. is a corporate group (3 consolidated subsidiaries and 1 affiliate) founded in 1971, with the Environmental Measurement Certification Business at its core. The company provides comprehensive environmental services spanning 13 fields, ranging from measurement and analysis across all environmental media—air, water quality, soil, noise, vibration, and odor—to Environmental Assessment, soil contamination remediation Construction, asbestos removal Construction, Policy Consulting, Agriculture-Related Testing, and energy-saving support. Its main customers are government agencies and private companies, and in the 56th fiscal period (FY2025, ended June 2025), the proportion of sales to private-sector customers reached 80.1%, reflecting continued expansion of its private-sector customer base. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Business Model
A revenue model built on the Environmental Measurement Certification Business under the Measurement Act, expanding from measurement and analysis data into peripheral areas such as environmental assessment, soil contamination remediation construction, asbestos removal construction, policy consulting, and agricultural testing. Of the ¥6,099 million in net sales for the 56th fiscal period, the Construction segment grew to ¥1,860 million (up 109% year on year), becoming the largest segment. The company is reducing its dependence on government clients while increasing the proportion of private-sector customers, aiming to diversify its revenue base.
Company Strengths
Since its founding in 1971, the company has operated an environmental measurement certification business covering all environmental media including air, water quality, soil, noise, vibration, and odor. It obtained ISO9001 (1997), ISO14001 (1998), and ISO/IEC17025 (2001) certifications, and has a track record of continuously expanding its technical scope, from ultra-trace chemical substance analysis to radioactive tritium analysis (2021).
In FY56, sales in the Construction field reached ¥1,860 million (up ¥969 million year on year), the largest among all 13 fields, accounting for 30.5% of total sales. The company handles soil contamination remediation construction, asbestos removal construction, and water supply/drainage and air conditioning equipment construction, and has built up a track record of large-scale projects, including recording sales of ¥1,200 million (19.7% of the total) to Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd.
At the end of FY56, the order backlog in the Assessment field stood at ¥1,056 million (up ¥147 million from the previous fiscal year-end), the largest among all fields. Centered on environmental impact assessments and natural environment surveys, the company has captured demand from private-sector development projects, with orders received of ¥981 million (up ¥248 million year on year), maintaining an expansionary trend. This has formed a stable order base expected to be recognized as sales in subsequent periods.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Cumulative revenue for the first nine months of FY2026 (ending June 2026) was ¥4,319 million (down 18.2% year on year). The main cause was a rebound from the concentration of a large-scale project (¥1,743 million) in the Construction segment in the same period of the previous year. On the other hand, cost of sales fell 24.3%, a steeper decline than revenue, leading to an improvement in gross profit to ¥1,282 million (up 1.1% year on year). Operating profit was ¥341 million (down 1.0% year on year), and quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥187 million (up 9.4% year on year), showing resilient earnings performance. The operating profit margin had continued to languish over the past five fiscal years, from 5.7% in FY2021 to 1.0% in FY2023 to 1.8% in FY2025, but improved significantly to 7.9% (cumulative) in the current period. Order intake was ¥5,985 million (up 66.0% year on year), and the order backlog was ¥4,343 million (up 160.5% year on year), with these leading indicators of future revenue at record-high levels. There has been no change to the full-year earnings forecast (revenue of ¥6,200 million, operating profit of ¥340 million), and large-scale construction projects are scheduled to be recognized as revenue from the next fiscal year onward.
Growth Strategy
Under the second medium-term management plan (FY2025–FY2027, ending June), the company is pursuing concentrated investment in growth areas, DX, and enhancement of human capital.
Cumulative orders received for the first nine months reached ¥2,704 million (up 407.1% year on year), with an order backlog of ¥2,599 million. Large-scale projects ordered in the current fiscal year are scheduled to be recognized as revenue from next fiscal year onward, which is expected to directly contribute to revenue expansion in FY2027 (ending June 2027).
Cumulative nine-month sales in the Soil & Groundwater Survey segment reached ¥850 million (up 37.2% year on year), with orders received of ¥931 million (up 44.9%), reflecting strong growth. The company is capturing demand from private companies for the sale and purchase of former factory sites, and the Assessment & Policy Consulting order backlog also remained at a high level of ¥943 million.
Under the second medium-term management plan, the company has set human capital value enhancement, new business promotion, and DX strategy as key priority measures. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to ¥940 million (up 1.9% year on year), reflecting continued investment in human resources and systems.
In March 2026, the company renewed a commitment line agreement totaling ¥2,000 million with five partner banks. This arrangement addresses seasonal working capital needs (funding requirements in April–May prior to the collection of accounts receivable) and establishes a framework to maintain stable financial liquidity.
