Business

CIJ Inc. is an independent IT system development company founded in 1976. It operates as a single-segment company offering four sales categories: System Development, Consultation and Research, System/Package Integration Services, and Other (Computer Product Sales, Operation & Maintenance, etc.). Its primary customer base spans the manufacturing, public, and energy sectors, providing one-stop services ranging from system design, development, and operation/maintenance to consulting for SIers, general corporations, and public institutions. Revenue for FY2025 (ended June 2025) was ¥26,899 million. The company is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It continues to expand its business through group companies, and in October 2024 it made Advance Soft Corporation, which has strengths in system development for power companies, a wholly owned subsidiary.

Business Model

The main revenue source is System Development (net sales of ¥23,300 million in FY2025 (ended June 2025), 86.6% of total), providing integrated design, manufacturing, and operation & maintenance services to clients in the manufacturing, public, and energy sectors. The company combines orders routed through SIers (SCSK Corporation accounted for 10.9% of net sales) with prime contracts such as comprehensive welfare systems for local governments, building a recurring order model based on long-term relationships of trust. The company is also advancing the development of new solutions such as generative AI services, with R&D expenses of ¥162 million invested, aiming to diversify its revenue streams.

Company Strengths

Revenue grew for five consecutive fiscal years, from ¥20,392 million in FY2021 (ended June 2021) to ¥26,899 million in FY2025 (ended June 2025). Operating income expanded from ¥1,387 million to ¥2,170 million over the same period, with the operating margin improving from 6.8% to 8.1%. In FY2025 (ended June 2025), net income attributable to owners of parent achieved substantial growth, reaching ¥1,495 million (up 57.7% year on year).

The equity ratio remained at a high level of 77.7% at the end of FY2025 (ended June 2025). Cash and cash equivalents stood at ¥8,214 million, ensuring sufficient liquidity. Interest-bearing debt is minimal, with a cash flow to interest-bearing debt ratio of 0.4x and an interest coverage ratio of 351.0x, indicating extremely high financial soundness.

In October 2024, the company made Advance Soft Co., Ltd., which has extensive experience in system development for electric power companies, a wholly owned subsidiary, strengthening its energy sector operations. In December 2025, it consolidated Infotech Solution Co., Ltd. to expand its public sector business. Orders received increased 8.9% year on year to ¥27,074 million, and the order backlog grew to ¥5,005 million (up 3.6% year on year).

ENVALITH's Perspective

Operating profit of ¥2,162 million cumulative through 3Q FY2026 (ending June 2026) reaches a 96.1% progress rate against the full-year forecast of ¥2,250 million. Net sales also show 77.0% progress at ¥21,935 million against the full-year forecast of ¥28,500 million. Since Q4 (April–June) is typically the busy season, maintaining the full-year forecast unchanged appears conservative. Attention should be paid to the possibility of an upward revision to the earnings forecast.

The cumulative 3Q operating profit margin improved significantly to 9.9% (versus 8.4% in the same period of the previous year). According to the company's explanation, this was mainly due to the suppression this period of excess costs beyond expectations that occurred on certain projects in the same period of the previous year. As an external factor, expanding IT investment in the market environment has provided a tailwind, but rising costs to secure human resources (salaries and allowances up 5.8% year-on-year) continue, and it will be necessary to assess the full-year results to determine whether this represents a structural improvement in profitability.

The specific customer concentration risk continues, with sales to SCSK accounting for approximately 10.9% of net sales. In addition, against the backdrop of tight supply and demand for IT talent (an external factor), upward pressure on recruitment and compensation costs continues, with salaries and allowances within SG&A expenses up 5.8% year-on-year. Achieving the operating profit target of ¥2.4 billion in the final year of the medium-term management plan (FY2027, ending June 2027) will require balancing human resource cost management with improvements in unit prices.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for revenue of ¥30.0 billion and operating profit of ¥2.4 billion in FY2027 (ending June 2027) through M&A, generative AI utilization, and expansion of prime contracting business

Infotech Solution Corporation, which has extensive transaction experience in system development for government agencies and social infrastructure, was made a consolidated subsidiary on December 1, 2025. This strengthened the order intake base in the public sector, and the contribution became evident as System/Package Integration Services revenue for the cumulative nine months of the third quarter increased 39.0% year on year.

The Global Business & Digital Solutions R&D Promotion Division is leading the application of generative AI to development processes. Hands-on training specialized in RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology is being conducted to promote engineer development. The company aims to improve added value and unit prices by deploying generative AI solutions to customers.

A three-year plan spanning FY2025 (ending June 2025) to FY2027 (ending June 2027). The company aims to demonstrate specialized partnerships tailored to a wide range of customers, including IT companies, general corporations, and the public sector, targeting revenue of ¥30.0 billion and operating profit of ¥2.4 billion in FY2027 (ending June 2027). The operating profit progress rate for the cumulative nine months of the third quarter of FY2026 (ending June 2026) reached 96.1%, continuing the steady progress seen in the first year.
