Business

Adtec Plasma Technology Co., Ltd. is a specialist power supply manufacturer headquartered in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, founded in 1985 and listed in 2004. In its core Semiconductor & LCD-Related Business, the company designs, manufactures, and sells High-Frequency Power Supplies for Plasma, Matching Units, Measuring Instruments, and other equipment mounted on manufacturing equipment used in semiconductor and LCD substrate production processes. In addition to its domestic head office, the company operates subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan, and China, with global semiconductor manufacturing equipment makers as its main customers. As a second pillar, its subsidiary IDX Corporation handles the specialty power supply business, providing DC Power Supplies, Pulse Power Supplies, Microwave Power Supplies, and other products for the Research Institutions & University-Related Business. Consolidated net sales for FY2025 (ending August 2025) were ¥12,680 million.

Business Model

The company designs, manufactures, and sells High-Frequency Power Supplies for Plasma, Matching Units, Measuring Instruments, and other products to semiconductor and LCD manufacturing equipment makers, and generates revenue by providing Technical Services. Major customers include leading global equipment manufacturers such as ASM Front-End Manufacturing Singapore (12.7% of net sales) and Beijing E-Town Semiconductor Technology (13.2% of net sales). The company aims to reduce production costs and expand production capacity by internalizing sheet-metal processing at its Vietnamese subsidiary, while investing ¥769 million in R&D expenses to maintain product competitiveness.

Company Strengths

The company has established subsidiaries in six countries—the United States, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan, and China—and has built direct trading relationships with world-class semiconductor manufacturing equipment makers such as Applied Materials, ASM Front-End Manufacturing Singapore, and Beijing E-Town Semiconductor Technology. In FY2025 (ending August 2025), the top two customers alone accounted for approximately 25.9% of net sales.

In FY2025 (ending August 2025), the ordinary income margin on net sales stood at a high 15.0% (versus 14.3% in the previous fiscal year). The company achieved operating income of ¥1,808 million (up 21.8% year on year) and ordinary income of ¥1,897 million (up 17.7% year on year). Improved production utilization rates and in-house production effects at the Vietnamese subsidiary contributed to the margin improvement.

In FY2025 (ending August 2025), the group's total R&D expenses amounted to ¥769 million (¥711 million for the Semiconductor & LCD-Related Business and ¥57 million for the Research Institutions & University-Related Business). The company also conducts joint research with universities and other companies, and actively files for intellectual property rights such as patents. It has accumulated over 30 years of technical expertise since it began selling High-Frequency Power Supplies for Plasma in 1991.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Cumulative results for the first three quarters of FY2026 (ending March 2026) showed sales of ¥9,075 million (down 11.8% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥1,424 million (down 16.5% year-on-year), continuing the year-on-year decline. However, against a backdrop of increased production and procurement activity among semiconductor manufacturing equipment makers, the order environment has improved since the second quarter, with orders received in the Semiconductor & LCD-Related Business expanding sharply to ¥13,272 million (up 71.7% year-on-year). The order backlog of ¥8,098 million (up 133.3% year-on-year) corresponds to approximately 60% of the full-year sales forecast of ¥13,600 million, indicating a high probability of sales recovery from Q4 onward.

Ordinary profit for the cumulative first three quarters was ¥1,779 million, down only 2.4% year-on-year, but this was mainly due to a substantial increase in foreign exchange gains, from ¥194 million in the same period of the previous year to ¥580 million. On the other hand, a loss on equity-method investments of ¥169 million was newly recorded (versus zero in the same period of the previous year). At the operating profit level, the decline was significant at 16.5%, indicating a larger drop in underlying performance, and attention should be paid to the structure in which fluctuations in foreign exchange gains/losses and equity-method investment gains/losses substantially affect overall profit. As an external factor, the continued depreciation of the yen has been supporting ordinary profit.

The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending March 2026) has been revised to sales of ¥13,600 million (up 7.2% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥2,500 million (up 38.2% year-on-year). The progress rate through the cumulative third quarter stands at 66.7% for sales and 56.9% for operating profit, meaning that Q4 alone must record sales of ¥4,525 million and operating profit of ¥1,076 million. The Research Institutions & University-Related Business (IDX) saw a significant decline, with cumulative third-quarter sales of ¥612 million, down 48.1% year-on-year. Progress on manufacturing of a large medical equipment order received in the previous fiscal year, along with the acquisition of new large-scale orders, will be key to achieving the full-year target.

Growth Strategy

Aim to shift toward a stable growth business structure through deepening plasma technology and strengthening the global production system

Through new product PR activities at domestic and overseas exhibitions, the company aims to stimulate customer interest and promote the acquisition of new product evaluation projects. To capture demand for high-performance semiconductors related to AI and cloud computing, the company is strengthening proposal-based sales activities targeting semiconductor manufacturing equipment makers for servers and data centers.

Enhancing production capacity and reducing costs through in-house sheet metal processing at the Vietnam subsidiary (ADTEC Plasma Technology Vietnam Co., Ltd.). Continuing to optimize the supply system by leveraging global sites (the United States, Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, China, and Vietnam).

Proceeding with the manufacturing of the large-scale power supply project for medical equipment received as an order in the previous fiscal year, while continuing efforts to acquire new large-scale projects in this field. In addition to stable revenue from power supplies and Maintenance Services for silicon pulling equipment, the company plans to build a new revenue base by strengthening sales for general industrial applications.
