Business

Fuji Seiki Co., Ltd. is a precision plastic mold manufacturer founded in 1965, forming a group that includes 5 consolidated subsidiaries with manufacturing bases both domestically (Matsuyama Plant, Suzuka Plant, Kochi Sukumo Plant) and overseas (Thailand, China, Indonesia). The business is composed of two segments: the "Precision Molds for Injection Molding and Molding Systems Business" and the "Precision Molded Products and Other Business". Major customers are medical device manufacturers, food container manufacturers, and automobile/motorcycle parts manufacturers, with the company relying on both stable orders for automotive-related parts in the Southeast Asian market (Thailand and Indonesia) and high-value-added orders for medical precision molds domestically as its two core pillars. Listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The Precision Molds business is built on made-to-order production tailored to customer specifications, focusing on accumulating high-margin orders centered on high-value-added projects in the medical and food container fields. The Precision Molded Products business follows a mass-production model leveraging overseas subsidiaries in Southeast Asia, securing stable medium-term orders for automotive parts. Capital expenditures are funded through long-term borrowings from financial institutions and internal funds, with the structure designed so that operating cash flow (¥927 million in FY2025), including depreciation expense (¥578 million in FY2025), self-sustains the cycle of investment.

Company Strengths

In FY2025, sales growth in precision molds for medical equipment led segment profit for the Precision Molds for Injection Molding and Molding Systems Business to increase 107.6% year on year to ¥166 million. Strength in high-margin medical-field projects directly contributed to the overall recovery in operating profit (up 17.1% year on year to ¥474 million).

At the end of FY2025, the order backlog for the Precision Molds for Injection Molding and Molding Systems Business reached ¥1,943 million, up 138.2% year on year, while the group's overall order backlog also grew to ¥2,402 million (up 125.2% year on year). Given the nature of made-to-order production, this backlog is expected to directly contribute to sales in the following fiscal year.

Starting with the establishment of a Thai subsidiary in 2001, the company expanded its manufacturing base to China (Shanghai and Changzhou) and Indonesia. In 2021, PT. FUJI SEIKI INDONESIA became a wholly owned subsidiary. This overseas production framework, centered on Southeast Asia, has enabled stable mass-production supply for the Precision Molded Products for Automotive Parts business (sales of ¥5,629 million).

ENVALITH's Perspective

Operating profit of ¥195 million (operating margin 8.7%) for the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026) is tracking well ahead of the pace implied by the full-year forecast of ¥494 million (operating margin 5.6%). However, the mold business, which operates on a build-to-order basis, tends to show variability in the timing of revenue recognition across quarters, and as suggested by the second-quarter (cumulative) forecast of ¥241 million in operating profit (down 11.9% year on year), there remains a possibility of a second-half weighted profile. The full-year forecast remains unchanged, and while the 1Q progress rate of 39.5% is at a high level, a cautious assessment that takes seasonality into account is warranted.

As an external factor, the ¥37 million foreign exchange gain recorded as non-operating income in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year turned into a foreign exchange loss of ¥16 million in the current first quarter, which held the increase in ordinary profit to 4.3% (¥167 million). Given the global production structure with numerous subsidiaries in Southeast Asia, foreign exchange fluctuation risk remains a persistent factor affecting business performance. Uncertainty in overseas economies stemming from US-China tensions and the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East also warrants continued monitoring as an external risk.

The equity ratio at the end of the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026) improved to 40.8% (up 3.0 percentage points from the end of the previous fiscal year), showing an improving trend. Net assets expanded to ¥4,009 million, mainly due to a ¥242 million increase in the foreign currency translation adjustment account (an effect of yen depreciation). On the other hand, total interest-bearing debt, comprising short-term borrowings of ¥1,637 million and long-term borrowings of ¥1,928 million, remains at a level of ¥3,565 million, and continued profit accumulation will be needed to resolve financial leverage. The annual dividend forecast remains unchanged at ¥7.00, maintaining the stability of the dividend policy.

Growth Strategy

A growth strategy built on three pillars: a focus on the medical and food container fields, expansion of the automotive parts business in Asia, and response to the shift toward EVs

Promoting concentrated sales efforts in the medical and food container-related fields in the Japanese market, and in the medical-related field in the Chinese market. The uncompleted order backlog for build-to-order production remains at a high level, and is expected to contribute to revenue recognition from the following period onward. In Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), net sales of precision molds for medical devices increased slightly year on year.

Promoting improved productivity and enhanced cost competitiveness through investment in automation and semi-automation at subsidiaries in Thailand and Indonesia. In Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), segment profit in the Precision Molded Products and Other Business improved significantly, increasing 105.8% year on year to ¥129 million, with the effect of a lower cost ratio becoming evident.

Promoting capital investment and R&D investment in response to EV adoption, based at the Suzuka Plant. As of the end of Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), machinery, equipment and vehicles (net) increased by ¥101 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,554 million, and construction in progress also remained at a high level of ¥463 million, with continuous capital investment underway.
