Business

Otsuka Corporation consists of two segments: the Systems Integration Business, which covers consulting, hardware/software sales, contract development, and network construction, and the Service & Support Business, centered on the office supply mail-order service Tanomail and the maintenance support service Tayoreru. Its main customers are domestic mid-tier and small-to-medium enterprises, with the number of client companies reaching 311,000 (as of FY2025 (ending December 2025)). Since its founding in 1961, the company has expanded its business domain from copier sales to computers, PCs, networks, and cloud services, and now positions itself as an "Office ni Marugoto" (whole-office) partner addressing a wide range of IT needs, including DX promotion, AI Solution Proposals, and security measures. The company operates through a total of 15 companies, including 4 consolidated subsidiaries and 3 equity-method affiliates.

Business Model

In the Systems Integration Business (net sales of ¥902,915 million), hardware, software, and Contract Software Development are provided as a package, and after installation, the Service & Support Business (net sales of ¥419,875 million) generates ongoing revenue through maintenance contracts, regular Office Supply Provision, and outsourcing services. The structure links the three channels of "real," "Web," and "center" to strengthen customer touchpoints while pursuing growth in sales per customer (¥3.73 million in FY2025 (ending December 2025), +12.0% year on year).

Company Strengths

Revenue expanded by approximately 55% over five years, from ¥851,894 million in FY2021 to ¥1,322,791 million in FY2025. Operating profit also increased over the same period, from ¥55,827 million to ¥89,943 million, and in FY2025 the company achieved record highs for the third consecutive year across all key metrics—revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net income. ROE stood at 16.8%, significantly exceeding the medium- to long-term target (13.0% or higher).

The number of client companies in the fiscal year ended December 2025 reached 311,000 (up 5.4% year on year), while sales per company rose to ¥3.73 million (up 12.0% year on year), reflecting expansion in both quantity and quality. The stock-type business centered on "Tanomail" and "Tayoreru" within the Service & Support Business formed a stable revenue base of ¥419,875 million, enhancing resilience to economic fluctuations.

For the fiscal year ended December 2025, the equity ratio stood at 54.1%, the ratio of interest-bearing debt to cash flow was 0.1 years, and the interest coverage ratio was an extremely high 1,387.6 times, indicating very strong financial soundness. Free cash flow reached ¥71,742 million (an increase of ¥45,980 million year on year), enabling the company to maintain a stable dividend payout ratio of 53.1% while continuing to build up internal reserves.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) calls for revenue of ¥1,311,000 million (down 0.9% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥90,000 million (up 0.1%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥61,130 million (down 4.9%), indicating a pullback from the record high achieved in FY2025. Amid overlapping uncertainties from external factors such as U.S. tariff policy, Middle East conflicts, and memory supply shortages, the fade-out of special demand associated with the end of Windows 10 support is seen as the main driver. While the strong first quarter (revenue progress rate of 26.3%) suggests potential upside to the full-year forecast, demand trends in the second half will be the key factor.

Operating cash flow for the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026) improved substantially to ¥29,821 million from ¥6,561 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a decrease in inventories and an increase in trade payables. Meanwhile, quarterly comprehensive income decreased 4.1% year-on-year to ¥15,358 million from ¥16,009 million, weighed down by a decline in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities (-¥1,658 million) and a deterioration in remeasurements of defined benefit plans (-¥178 million). It should be noted that stock market volatility as an external factor has affected the quality of net assets, with the equity ratio declining from 54.1% (as of the end of FY2025, ended December 2025) to 52.3%.

In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), packaged software showed strong growth, and revenue from the Systems Integration Business grew 9.9% year-on-year, outpacing the company-wide average growth rate. The deployment of AI-driven sales process support and AI Solution Proposals for small and medium-sized enterprises is contributing to strengthened customer engagement. However, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from ¥38,911 million to ¥42,049 million, leaving limited room for improvement in the gross profit margin (19.0% in the first quarter). The operating profit margin remained at around 6.8%, and reaching the target of 7.0% is expected to continue taking time.

Growth Strategy
