Business

Ikuyo Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of automotive interior and exterior resin molded products founded in 1947, with door trims, floor consoles, and pillar trims as its main products. In addition to three domestic locations (Atsugi, Nagoya, and Okayama), it has overseas bases in Indonesia, China, and Vietnam, with major customers including domestic and overseas automakers such as Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC Volkswagen, and PT Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia. In April 2026, the company will transition to a holding company structure, transferring its Automotive Parts business to Ikuyo Automotive Co., Ltd. It is also accelerating diversification into new areas such as cryptocurrency mining, stablecoin payments, robotics, and hydrogen business.

Business Model

In the core Automotive Parts business, the company employs a build-to-order model, manufacturing and delivering resin injection-molded products based on orders from finished vehicle manufacturers. It secures cost competitiveness through a local production-for-local-consumption system across domestic and overseas sites, while maintaining profitability through price pass-through negotiations. In new businesses, the company is building unique revenue models including cryptocurrency mining (1,400 units in operation), a stablecoin payment platform, and utilization of surplus solar power generation. Business scale expansion through M&A is also positioned as an important means of securing revenue.

Company Strengths

Since its founding in 1947, the company has accumulated resin injection molding, weight reduction, and high-value-added coating technologies. It operates three domestic sites (Atsugi, Nagoya, Okayama) and three overseas sites (Indonesia, China, Vietnam), building a global supply system based on local production for local consumption. Orders received for Automotive Parts in FY2026 (ending March 2026) reached ¥31,009 million (up 75.7% year on year), securing robust order volumes.

In April 2025, the company acquired a 51% equity stake in China's Kunshan VeriTech Automotive Systems Co., Ltd., and in May of the same year made Tamadai Co., Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary. Through the consolidation of these entities, net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) expanded sharply to ¥30,144 million (up 70.0% year on year). Overseas sales grew dramatically to ¥13,232 million (up 479.4% year on year), diversifying the company's global customer base.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the exercise of stock acquisition rights increased capital stock and capital surplus by a combined ¥4,241 million, expanding total net assets to ¥16,256 million (up 129.9% year on year). The enhancement of shareholders' equity strengthened the financial base, and ROE reached 27.3%, exceeding the plan by 2.9 percentage points. The company held cash and cash equivalents of ¥4,241 million against an outstanding loan balance of ¥4,909 million.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Net income attributable to owners of the parent for FY2026 (ending March 2026) rose sharply year on year to ¥2,756 million, but this was mainly due to the recording of ¥8,021 million in extraordinary income, comprising a ¥7,019 million gain on sale of fixed assets and ¥1,000 million in penalty income. Ordinary profit was only ¥167 million (ordinary profit margin on sales of 0.7%), indicating that core business profitability remains fragile. An impairment loss of ¥2,630 million was also recorded, warranting attention to asset quality as well.

The Others segment recorded sales of ¥47 million against a segment loss of ¥367 million. Non-operating expenses included a ¥147 million loss on cryptocurrency asset management and a ¥139 million foreign exchange loss, which significantly weighed on ordinary profit. Including the subsequent event of making a digital asset securities subsidiary (¥1,490 million), investment in new businesses continues to run ahead of returns, with the timing and scale of monetization remaining unclear. The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net income of only ¥61 million (down 97.8% year on year), a substantial decline, putting the earnings structure to the test once the extraordinary gains fall away.

Sales of ¥30,144 million for FY2026 (ending March 2026) (up 70.0% year on year) were mainly attributable to the new consolidation of Kunshan Veritas and Tamadai, with organic growth in existing businesses appearing limited. In the external environment, stronger U.S. tariffs, a slowdown in the Chinese economy, and a shift in parts demand driven by the advance of EVs are putting downward pressure on the automotive parts industry as a whole, creating high risk of sales volatility depending on the production trends of major customers. Whether the FY2027 (ending March 2027) sales forecast of ¥34,386 million (up 14.1% year on year) can be achieved will be a key point to watch.

Growth Strategy

Global expansion of the Automotive Parts business and diversification through the cultivation of new businesses such as Web3 and digital assets

Consolidated Kunshan Veritas Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. and Tamadai Co., Ltd., expanding revenue by 70% year-on-year to ¥30,144 million. Advancing optimization of the global supply chain, including China and Indonesia, and strengthening order-taking activities for next-generation vehicle models.

1,400 mining machines have been introduced and are in operation. A proprietary model is being developed to utilize surplus power from solar power generation installed at the Okayama and Nagoya plants for the mining business. However, a loss on crypto asset operations of ¥147 million was recorded during the current period, and challenges remain in achieving profitability.

Established the "Stablecoin Payment Association" to build an international B2B payment platform utilizing stablecoins. Leading collaboration within and outside the industry and infrastructure development, aiming to provide next-generation payment infrastructure. The timing and scale of commercialization remain unclear at this time.

Pursuant to a board resolution dated May 8, 2026, the company plans to acquire 99.7% of the issued shares of Digital Asset Securities Co., Ltd., a financial instruments business operator, at an acquisition cost of ¥1,490 million (business combination date scheduled for June 24, 2026). Aims to create synergies through collaboration with the crypto asset management, mining, and payment platform businesses.

Accelerating R&D of next-generation technologies that contribute to weight reduction, higher efficiency, and enhanced functionality. Promoting collaboration with sensor-related and electronic components, as well as product development responsive to SDV adoption and advances in autonomous driving. Also strengthening strategic alliances with partner companies possessing autonomous driving technology.
