Business

Mitani Sekisan Co., Ltd. was founded in 1956 and is headquartered in Fukui City, forming a corporate group centered on a secondary concrete products manufacturer. Including 19 consolidated subsidiaries, the group as a whole operates the Secondary Concrete Products Business, whose mainstays are the manufacture and sale of Concrete Piles & Poles, Environmental Products (Concrete Blocks), and gravel products, as well as Wave-Dissipating Block Formwork Rental. In addition, the group has an Information-Related Business handling Information System Development Services and Software Sales, and Other Businesses encompassing environmental sanitation, facility management, business hotel operation, real estate leasing, and solar power generation. Its main customers are private construction companies, government agencies, and developers, and it has built a nationwide network of manufacturing and sales sites, establishing a system that provides integrated support from product supply through to construction management.

Business Model

In the core Concrete Piles segment, product manufacturing and contracted construction work are identified as a single performance obligation, with revenue recognized based on construction progress (input method). By producing high-quality products at manufacturing sites nationwide and combining consulting-based sales with a responsible construction system, the company delivers added value. The Information-Related Business accumulates stock-type system maintenance and service revenue, while Other Businesses secure stable income from Environmental Sanitation, Hotel, Real Estate Leasing, and Solar Power Generation, forming a multi-layered revenue structure.

Company Strengths

The company has established concrete pile manufacturing bases nationwide, building a system in which its own group handles everything from product supply to construction management. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales in the Secondary Concrete Products Business reached ¥83,159 million, with operating profit of ¥14,733 million (operating margin of 17.7%), and the company achieved an expansion in sales volume even as industry demand declined 0.2% year on year.

The company possesses proprietary technologies, including certification for 105N/mm² high-strength and 123N/mm² ultra-high-strength concrete piles, as well as Minister of Construction approval for the Kneading Method and SUPER Kneading Method. It has established a quality control system with ISO9001 certification obtained across multiple manufacturing divisions. R&D expenses in FY2026 (ending March 2026) totaled ¥740 million, and the company continues to develop concrete products, construction techniques, and construction management technologies.

As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), total net assets stood at ¥103,702 million, and cash and cash equivalents were ¥46,559 million. The company secured operating cash flow of ¥13,330 million, funding capital expenditures of ¥6,245 million from its own resources while also conducting share buybacks and dividend payments. Its financial position, close to being debt-free, enhances its resilience to changes in the competitive environment.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved net sales of ¥99,854 million (up 13.8% year on year), operating profit of ¥17,598 million (up 26.7%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥13,782 million (up 35.5%), setting record highs across all key metrics. Despite a slight decline in industry-wide shipment volumes, the company expanded its own sales volume, improving the operating profit margin from 15.8% to 17.6%. Extraordinary gains, including a gain on sale of subsidiary shares of ¥850 million and a gain on sale of investment securities of ¥227 million, also boosted net profit. This marks the fifth consecutive year of increased sales and profit, demonstrating a high level of earnings management capability.

The company's guidance for FY2027 (ending March 2026) calls for net sales of ¥92,000 million (down 7.9% year on year), operating profit of ¥14,200 million (down 19.3%), and net profit of ¥10,200 million (down 26.0%), anticipating a substantial decline in profit. In addition to the reversal effect from the current period's combined gain on sale of subsidiary shares and investment securities of ¥1,078 million, external factors such as intensifying price competition with competitors and continued elevated raw material prices are expected to persist. While a recovery in industry demand is anticipated, thorough profitability management remains a challenge.

The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥201 (equivalent to ¥50.25 on a post-split basis), with total dividends of ¥3,530 million, a significant increase from ¥2,531 million in the previous period. The dividend payout ratio stood at 25.7%. For FY2027 (ending March 2026), the company plans an annual dividend of ¥43.50 (post-split) and intends to raise the payout ratio to 30.0%. Additionally, effective April 1, 2026, the company implemented a 4-for-1 stock split to lower the investment unit, aiming to improve liquidity and broaden its investor base. Combined with share buybacks (¥1,432 million in the current period), the company's overall commitment to shareholder returns is commendable, though its ability to sustain dividends amid a profit downturn will be a key point of attention.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing sustainable growth and improved capital efficiency through capital expenditure, profitability management, and enhanced shareholder returns

Despite an environment of declining industry demand and intensifying competition, the company is focusing on securing orders for large-scale projects and improving construction efficiency. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company increased its own sales volume, achieving net sales of ¥83,159 million and operating profit of ¥14,733 million. For FY2027 (ending March 2026), the company anticipates a recovery in industry demand while maintaining a policy of thorough profitability management and continued cost control.

The company invested ¥5,354 million in the acquisition of tangible fixed assets in FY2026 (ending March 2026), and construction in progress increased significantly from ¥1,416 million to ¥3,371 million. Depreciation expense also increased to ¥3,294 million from ¥2,887 million in the prior period, reflecting ongoing investment aimed at expanding future production and construction capacity.

The dividend payout ratio is being raised in stages, from 25.1% in FY2025 (ending March 2025) to 25.7% in FY2026 (ending March 2026), and a projected 30.0% in FY2027 (ending March 2026). By combining share buybacks (¥1,432 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026)) with a 4-for-1 stock split (implemented April 1, 2026), the company is simultaneously pursuing an expanded investor base and improved capital efficiency.

In the second quarter of FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company transferred all shares of Gateway Computer Corporation, recording a gain on sale of subsidiary shares of ¥850 million. The Information-Related Business has shrunk to net sales of ¥7,450 million and operating profit of ¥1,617 million, but the remaining Information-Related Business continues to shift toward higher value-added services.
