Business

AI Mechatec Co., Ltd. is a precision equipment manufacturer engaged in the development, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service of flat panel display (FPD)/optical device manufacturing equipment and semiconductor package manufacturing equipment. The company was established in 2016 through a corporate split from Hitachi, Ltd., and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2021. Its business consists of three segments: the IJP Solutions Business, the Semiconductor-Related Business, and the LCD Business. Its main customers are global companies in the advanced semiconductor packaging field, such as MIC-TECH (SHANGHAI) CORP. (35.3% of net sales) and MARKETECH INTERNATIONAL CORP. (31.4% of net sales), with demand for advanced semiconductors for AI serving as the primary growth engine. The company has Nanjing Xinchuang Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. as a consolidated subsidiary and Nanolithotics Co., Ltd. as an equity-method affiliate.

Business Model

The company provides materials, equipment, and processes as an integrated, inseparable solution (A-PI strategy) that embodies customer needs, adopting a build-to-order model that earns its main revenue from equipment sales. It converts its track record with flagship companies into brand strength, leveraging this to develop new customers. After-Sales Service (Parts, Modification, LCS activities), which is more profitable than the equipment itself, complements this structure with stable earnings, and the order backlog of ¥26,193 million (up 29.4% year on year) enhances visibility into future sales.

Company Strengths

In FY2025 (ended June 2025), the Semiconductor-Related Business achieved net sales of ¥19,521 million (up 70.5% year on year) and segment profit of ¥3,760 million (up 134.7% year on year). The Wafer Handling System has captured demand for advanced semiconductor packages for AI applications, establishing large-scale transaction track records with MIC-TECH (SHANGHAI) CORP. (¥7,418 million) and MARKETECH INTERNATIONAL CORP. (¥6,597 million).

Originating from the operation of Hitachi Techno Engineering's Ryugasaki Plant in 1990, the company has accumulated fine coating, high-precision alignment, and laminating technologies over more than 30 years. Leveraging the Process Development Center opened in 2018, the company continues R&D activities in collaboration with leading universities, research institutions, and materials manufacturers. In FY2025 (ended June 2025), R&D expenses amounted to ¥435 million and capital expenditure amounted to ¥1,084 million.

In September 2022, the company acquired the process equipment business from Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd., strengthening its Semiconductor-Related Business. In February 2025, the company concluded a capital and business alliance with Optran and is promoting the nanoimprint lithography business through the joint venture Nanolithotics Co., Ltd. Through collaboration with multiple partners, the company has built a system of mutual complementarity in technology and sales channels.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Cumulative sales for the first nine months of FY2026 (ending June 2026) of ¥24,863 million (up 134.4% year on year) and operating profit of ¥4,228 million represent a dramatic recovery from the low levels of the same period last year (sales of ¥10,608 million and operating profit of ¥187 million). Against the full-year forecast (sales of ¥34,312 million and operating profit of ¥4,854 million), the nine-month cumulative results have already achieved 72.5% of sales and 87.1% of operating profit. Continued expansion of investment in advanced semiconductors for AI applications serves as an external tailwind, and even factoring in an expected normalization of sales in the fourth quarter, the probability of achieving the full-year forecast is high.

For the first nine months, the IJP Solutions Business posted a segment loss of ¥567 million (widening from a loss of ¥102 million in the same period last year), while the LCD Business posted a segment loss of ¥200 million (deteriorating from a profit of ¥42 million in the same period last year), with two segments other than the Semiconductor-Related Business in the red. The revenue concentration structure, in which the Semiconductor-Related Business accounts for 86.4% of total company sales, harbors vulnerability to fluctuations in the AI-related capital investment cycle. The IJP Solutions Business is front-loading investment to launch its nanoimprint business, and the timing of a return to profitability remains unclear.

As of the end of the third quarter of FY2026 (ending June 2026), the equity ratio stood at 46.0% (improved from 39.7% at the end of the previous fiscal year), and net assets were ¥13,551 million (up ¥2,690 million from ¥10,861 million at the end of the previous fiscal year). Short-term borrowings decreased by ¥3,900 million, from ¥4,700 million at the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥800 million, reducing reliance on syndicated loans with financial covenants. The accumulation of quarterly net profit of ¥2,820 million is driving this financial improvement, and together with the three-for-one stock split implemented in April 2026 (aimed at improving liquidity), improvements are progressing on both the shareholder return and financial fronts.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for ¥30 billion in revenue and a 12% operating margin in FY2028 (ending June 2028) through deepening the Semiconductor-Related Business and cultivating the IJP Solutions Business

Focus is on capturing additional demand for the Wafer Handling System, expanding orders for panel-level packaging (PLP) systems, and steadily capturing demand for the Solder Ball Mounter Equipment during the investment recovery phase. Cumulative segment sales for the third quarter reached ¥21,480 million with profit of ¥6,262 million, establishing this as the core business.

Through the joint venture Nanolithotics Corporation, the company is advancing orders and sales accumulation for anti-reflection pattern forming systems for tablets and similar devices, as well as systems for silicon photonics semiconductors. The IJP Solutions Business expanded to cumulative third-quarter sales of ¥1,421 million (up 288.9% year on year), but a segment loss of ¥567 million continued due to upfront investment.

Shipments of the Batch Sealing Line for Microdisplays (IJP Equipment) for OLEDoS and other microdisplays have been progressing, with continued inquiries from customers. The company is capturing the expansion of the AR/VR end market as an external factor, while also confirming expansion into new application areas such as silicon photonics semiconductors. Production capacity improvements utilizing the clean room in the new equipment assembly building support this responsiveness.

A stock split at a ratio of 3 shares for every 1 share was implemented effective April 1, 2026 (shares outstanding after the split: 18,849,000). By lowering the investment unit price, the company aims to expand its individual investor base and improve stock liquidity. The forecast annual dividend is ¥17 per share after the split (equivalent to ¥51 before considering the split).
