Business

Foodison, Inc. operates under the mission "Making the world's food more enjoyable," running its Fresh Food Distribution Platform Business (Foodison, Inc.) as a single segment. Its core BtoB Commerce Service, Uo-Pochi (BtoB Commerce Service), is a food e-commerce service for restaurants, accounting for 81.2% of net sales and providing service across all 46 prefectures nationwide. The BtoC Commerce Service, sakana bacca (BtoC Commerce Service), operates 9 fresh fish select shops in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area, while the HR Service, Food Jinzai Bank (HR Service), provides recruitment services for food industry businesses. The company holds licenses for the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Markets (Ota Market and Toyosu Market) and operates a food-industry-specialized platform with in-house vertical integration of procurement, logistics, and systems.

Business Model

A procurement-and-sales model in which food products purchased from producers and wholesalers are listed on the company's own EC site, Uo-Pochi, and sold directly to restaurants. Users place orders after 3:30 p.m. daily and receive delivery within one to three days, resulting in a high-frequency usage structure; the sales ratio from existing cohorts reached 92% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). The company aims to maximize customer lifetime value through cost efficiencies from joint BtoB and BtoC procurement and cross-selling with the HR Service.

Company Strengths

Subsidiary Foodison Ota holds an intermediary wholesaler license for the Ota Market, and the Group also holds purchasing rights at the Toyosu Market. Regulations under the Wholesale Market Act and various municipal ordinances structurally impede new entrants, and the physical infrastructure combining fulfillment centers inside and outside the Ota Market deters competitor imitation.

The proportion of existing cohort (users registered in the prior fiscal year or earlier) in BtoB Commerce Service revenue was 92% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Due to the characteristics of BtoB e-commerce, which is used at high frequency for restaurant operational demand, registered users accumulate each period, embedding a compounding revenue growth mechanism. Inventory turnover is also high at 33.3 times, indicating strong asset efficiency.

The company has independently developed a proprietary IT system that addresses requirements unique to fresh food, such as rapid digitization of daily fluctuating product information, connection of sales data with logistics, and support for sold-by-weight transactions. By combining structured data on transactions, logistics, and sales accumulated since founding with on-site expertise, the company has built an AI utilization platform that continuously incorporates advanced technologies, including generative AI.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue was ¥7,820 million (up 13.9% year on year) and operating profit was ¥183 million (up 9.8%), marking a return to increased revenue and profit. However, extraordinary losses totaling ¥19 million occurred, comprising an impairment loss of ¥14 million and a store closure loss of ¥4 million, causing profit before income taxes to fall below ordinary profit at ¥166 million. The growth rate of net profit (+2.8%) fell significantly short of the growth rates of revenue and operating profit, meaning that the skill of store portfolio management will determine future profit levels.

Food Jinzai Bank (HR Service) was the only segment to see a revenue decline in FY2026 (ending March 2026), with revenue of ¥336 million (down 13.8% year on year). This is attributed to intensifying competition in the recruitment market and a decrease in job demand due to economic fluctuations, with the supply-demand environment in the labor market continuing to be an external factor of influence. Although the company is expanding sales activities targeting restaurants, the timing and scale of recovery remain uncertain, and while the segment's share of consolidated revenue (approximately 4%) is small, it warrants attention from the perspective of its contribution to profit.

The company forecasts revenue of ¥8,400 million (up 7.4% year on year), operating profit of ¥220 million (up 19.7%), and net profit of ¥180 million (up 22.6%). While the revenue growth rate is expected to slow from FY2026's (ending March 2026) +13.9%, the operating profit margin is projected to improve from 2.4% to 2.6%. This is premised on aggressive sales and marketing investment in BtoB Commerce and improved profitability at existing BtoC Commerce stores, with external factors such as rising prices, increasing labor costs, and foreign exchange instability posing downside risks to achieving the plan.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing growth on two axes: expansion of BtoB Commerce users and ARPU, and improvement of BtoC Commerce profitability

The company will strengthen relationship-deepening sales activities toward highly engaged existing customers while expanding both active user numbers and ARPU through proactive marketing and product improvements. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), BtoB Commerce Service revenue grew 16.0% year on year to ¥6,348 million, and growth in the core business continued.

The company will maintain existing-store sales through price revisions and event-driven customer acquisition while expanding urban retail store development. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), following the closure of one store and the opening of one store, the store network reached 9 locations, and BtoC Commerce Service revenue increased 13.0% year on year to ¥1,136 million. However, a store closure loss of ¥4 million and an impairment loss of ¥14 million were incurred, and optimizing the store portfolio remains a challenge.

In addition to fresh food supermarkets and retailers, the company will promote sales activities targeting restaurants to expand the revenue base of its recruitment placement business. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue declined 13.8% year on year to ¥336 million due to intensifying competition in the recruitment market and a decrease in job openings. Improving productivity has been set as a priority initiative for the following fiscal year, and recovery is an urgent task.
