Business

Ebara Jitsugyo Co., Ltd. is an environmental infrastructure company operating three businesses: manufacturing and sale of environmental equipment and systems (Manufacturing Business), design and construction for water and sewage infrastructure (Engineering Business), and trading of pumps, air conditioning equipment and other products (Trading Business). Founded in 1946 and listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, its main customers are government agencies (67.3% of order intake) and private-sector companies. Building on its agency agreement with Ebara Corporation, the company also offers proprietary in-house developed products such as ozone concentration meters, deodorizing systems, water treatment plants, and storage battery systems. It has subsidiaries including Ebajitsu Co., Ltd. and Ebara Jitsugyo Technologies Co., Ltd., and provides environmental conservation solutions across the group as a whole.

Business Model

In the Engineering Business (54.5% of sales composition), the company receives orders directly from government agencies and procures equipment and materials manufactured by the Ebara Group to perform design and construction. In the Trading Business (27.3% of sales composition), the company sells pumps, air conditioning equipment, and other products to private-sector customers based on agency agreements with the Ebara Group. In the Manufacturing Business (18.2% of sales composition), the company develops products in-house on a fabless basis, outsourcing production to partner companies before selling them. The combination of these three businesses forms a structure that captures demand from both the public and private sectors.

Company Strengths

In the Engineering Business for FY2025 (ending December 2025), the company achieved a segment profit margin of 19.3% and segment profit of ¥4,332 million (up 76.8% year on year). The order backlog at fiscal year-end stood at ¥25,084 million (up 8.2% year on year), providing high visibility into revenue and profit for the following period. Continued growth in demand for public water infrastructure renewal and disaster prevention/mitigation is supporting sustained growth in orders received.

The company achieved the final-year targets of its mid-term management plan "EJ2027" (2025-2027)—operating profit of ¥5,500 million and ROE of 15.0% or higher—one year ahead of schedule in the first year, FY2025 (ending December 2025), with operating profit of ¥6,121 million and ROE of 17.1%. The gross profit margin of 33.8% also exceeded the final-year plan target of 31.1%.

At the end of FY2025 (ending December 2025), the equity ratio stood at 57.7%, with cash and cash equivalents of ¥14,524 million. Interest-bearing debt is minimal, and the ratio of cash flow to interest-bearing debt is a low 1.1 years. The company maintains a stable funding structure relying primarily on internal funds, securing capacity for growth investment.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Cumulative sales for 1Q FY2026 of ¥14,814 million reached 33.7% of the full-year forecast of ¥44,000 million, while operating profit of ¥3,480 million reached 55.2% of the full-year forecast of ¥6,300 million, indicating a high profit progress rate. However, sales tend to concentrate in March (fiscal year-end for local governments) in a typical year, and given this 1Q-weighted seasonality, stable construction progress in the second half is essential to achieving the full-year target. The full-year earnings forecast is conservatively set at +6.8% YoY for sales and +2.9% YoY for operating profit, and given the 1Q results, there is room for upward revision.

Orders received in the Manufacturing Business for 1Q FY2026 surged to ¥4,482 million (up 381.9% YoY), and the order backlog also increased to ¥6,993 million (up 192.1% YoY). This was mainly driven by a large-scale order for land-based aquaculture equipment (fisheries sector), suggesting that strategic expansion into the mid-term plan "EJ2027's" priority area of "fisheries" is beginning to take concrete shape. On the other hand, sales for this 1Q remained at ¥2,244 million, down 1.4% YoY, so it remains important to manage progress with an awareness of the time lag between order receipt and revenue recognition.

The structure in which government and municipal clients account for approximately 70% of sales carries inherent vulnerability to external factors such as public budget cuts, intensifying bidding competition, and policy changes. In addition, the Trading Business's dependence on its distributor agreement with the Ebara Group entails the risk of earnings impact should the group's policies change. In terms of the external environment, uncertainty over economic conditions is increasing due to factors such as Middle East tensions and various countries' trade policies, and uncertainty regarding future private-sector capital investment is also rising. These structural risks require ongoing monitoring until diversification progresses through the exploration of new areas (storage batteries, fisheries, etc.) under the mid-term plan.

Growth Strategy

Under the three basic policies of "EJ2027," the company aims for net sales of ¥45,000 million in 2027 and ¥60,000 million in 2030

Capturing demand for public water infrastructure renewal and disaster prevention/mitigation, the company continues to record stable sales and profits backed by a high order backlog (¥32,779 million at the end of 1Q FY2026). Gross profit margin in the Engineering Business is improving, reflecting thorough profitability management.

Positioning demand for disaster prevention and mitigation facilities such as rainwater drainage systems as a key growth driver, the company is promoting order acquisition in both the Engineering Business and the Manufacturing Business. Expanding public-sector disaster prevention investment in the external environment is also serving as a tailwind.

In 1Q FY2026, the Manufacturing Business received a large order for land-based aquaculture equipment, causing the order backlog to surge 192.1% year on year to ¥6,993 million. The exploration of new areas under the medium-term plan "EJ2027" is beginning to materialize as concrete orders.

Under the medium-term management plan "EJ2027," storage batteries are positioned as one of the focus areas, and the company is promoting exploration and commercialization of this new area. At present, no specific orders or sales results are disclosed in the financial results summary, and continued monitoring of progress is needed.

Effective January 1, 2026, the company implemented a stock split at a ratio of two shares for every one share of common stock held, aiming to improve share liquidity and expand its investor base. The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥75 per share (after the stock split), which is equivalent to ¥150 before adjusting for the split—representing a substantial increase from the ordinary dividend of ¥100 in the previous fiscal year.
