Business

Freesia Macross Corporation is the core company of a diversified group comprising 11 consolidated subsidiaries, 7 non-consolidated subsidiaries, and 3 equity-method affiliates. Its operations consist of three segments: "Manufacturing & Supply" (Plastic Extruders & Auxiliary Equipment, Civil Engineering Testing Machines & Equipment, Printed Circuit Boards, containers, Underground Drilling Drills & Machines, etc.), "Housing-Related Business" (Log Houses & Premium Swedish Houses, Condominiums & Furniture, Anti-Termite, Waterproofing & Insulation Works, etc., and Real Estate Leasing, Sales & Management), and "Investment & Distribution Services" (Investment & Turnaround Support Business for SMEs and PC Peripherals, Parts & Software Sales). The Housing-Related Business accounts for approximately 71% of net sales, Manufacturing & Supply approximately 27%, and Investment & Distribution Services approximately 2%. The company traces its origins to a civil engineering testing machine manufacturer founded in 1947, and formed its current diversified group through M&A.

Business Model

The group's core philosophy of "Distribution" is a participatory manufacturing and supply system that enhances planning precision by involving customers in each stage of the manufacturing process, eliminating waste and inconsistency to achieve low prices and high quality. In the Housing-Related Business, the company accumulates stable earnings (¥286 million in rental income for the current period) through integrated construction and Real Estate Leasing, Sales & Management. In the Manufacturing & Supply business, it diversifies economic cycle risk through multi-item manufacturing. In the Investment & Distribution Services business, the group expands through turnaround support for small and medium-sized enterprises, continuously pursuing cost reductions and new business development by leveraging cross-industry expertise from each group company.

Company Strengths

The Housing-Related Business accounts for approximately 71% of consolidated group sales, and segment profit margin remained at a high level of 23.2% in FY2026 (ending March 2026) (versus 23.1% in the prior period). It also incorporates stock-type revenue, such as real estate leasing income of ¥286 million, which accumulates steadily. The practical implementation of the "Haikyu" philosophy through variable cost reduction and fixed cost reduction has contributed to improving the cost structure.

The three segments of Manufacturing & Supply, Housing-Related Business, and Investment & Distribution Services operate on different industry cycles, dispersing risk related to economic fluctuations in specific industries. Operating income over the past five fiscal periods (FY2022–FY2026) ranged from ¥976 million to ¥1,349 million, maintaining profitability even in periods when sales declined. The track record of business expansion through M&A (11 consolidated subsidiaries) forms the foundation for this diversification.

At the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), net assets stood at ¥24,569 million, with a net asset ratio of 62.5% (improved from 59.1% in the prior period). The consolidated current ratio remained at a high level of 250.4%, ensuring ample liquidity on hand. Asset management capability, including gains on the sale of investment securities and affiliate company shares (extraordinary income of ¥522 million for the period), also contributes to the strength of the financial foundation.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Net income attributable to owners of parent rose sharply to ¥1,723 million, up 90.1% year on year, but this was mainly driven by the recording of ¥522 million in total extraordinary income, consisting of ¥365 million in gains on sale of investment securities and ¥156 million in gains on sale of shares of affiliated companies. Meanwhile, operating income, which reflects core business performance, declined 4.7% year on year to ¥1,285 million, with both mainstay segments—Manufacturing & Supply and Housing-Related Business—falling short of the prior year in both sales and profit. A recovery in core business earning power is essential for sustainable profit growth.

Operating cash flow for the period improved to ¥696 million from ¥176 million in the prior period, but remains markedly low relative to net income before income taxes and other adjustments of ¥2,748 million. The funding structure continues to rely on investing activity income such as ¥922 million in proceeds from sale of investment securities, and the weakness in genuine business cash-generating capacity remains a challenge. The repayment burden from the long-term borrowings balance of ¥8,352 million also continues, warranting caution regarding financial flexibility.

The company's forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net sales of ¥6,900 million (+0.4%), operating income of ¥1,200 million (-6.6%), ordinary income of ¥1,800 million (-19.2%), and net income of ¥1,600 million (-7.2%). This is mainly attributable to the drop-off of the extraordinary income recorded in the current period and the normalization of equity-method investment income. External risk factors, such as persistently high resource and energy prices and the deterioration in Japan-China relations, remain, which could pressure earnings in the Housing-Related Business and Manufacturing & Supply segments, warranting a cautious view on the achievability of the forecast.

Growth Strategy

Aiming to enhance corporate value through group expansion via M&A and monetization of equity-method investments

Japan Auto Co., Ltd., established in May 2025, was newly consolidated as a subsidiary, strengthening the manufacturing and sales structure for Printed Circuit Boards and other products. While offsetting the decline in sales resulting from the liquidation of Koei Kogyo Co., Ltd., the company aims to rebuild the profit base of the Manufacturing & Supply segment. Segment profit for the current period stood at a low level of ¥54 million, and full-scale profit contribution remains a future challenge.

Equity-method investment income of ¥895 million was recorded in the current period (¥678 million in the previous period) from equity-method investments in Giken Holdings Co., Ltd., Solekia Ltd., and Kyowa Consultants Co., Ltd. The company continues its strategy of strengthening the group's overall profit base through additional acquisitions of affiliated company shares (¥10,221 million at the end of the current period).

In the current period, the company recorded a gain on sale of investment securities of ¥365 million and a gain on sale of affiliated company shares of ¥156 million, promoting more efficient use of assets. The balance of investment securities expanded to ¥9,913 million (¥6,383 million in the previous period), and the company aims to strengthen its financial position and create a virtuous cycle of reinvestment by realizing unrealized gains.

The company continues to invest ¥317 million in increases to tangible and intangible fixed assets for the Housing-Related Business, maintaining its construction system for Log Houses & Premium Swedish Houses, condominiums, and Anti-Termite, Waterproofing & Insulation Works, etc. Through the stable accumulation of real estate rental income (other revenue of ¥286 million), the company aims to build a profit base that is less susceptible to economic fluctuations.
