Business

Sincere Co., Ltd. was established in 2008 as a contact lens manufacturing and sales company. Centered on clear lenses and color contact lenses, it operates through diverse channels including ophthalmology-affiliated stores, mass retailers, drugstores, and e-commerce. Its core products are the "Sincere S Series" made of silicone hydrogel material, developed under two axes: the company's own brand and Private Brand (Clear Lens / Color Lens). In 2022, it made Consulting Business a subsidiary, and in 2023 it made Taros Systems Co., Ltd., which handles POS System for the Reuse Industry, a subsidiary, promoting business diversification through M&A. In March 2025, it acquired the color contact lens business (the EC site "Mew Contact") from FLYU Co., Ltd. from Furyu Corporation, further strengthening the foundation of its Contact Lens Business. Group-wide sales, including five consolidated subsidiaries, were ¥7,456 million (FY2025, ending December 2025).

Business Model

The Contact Lens Business does not manufacture in-house; instead, it operates a buy-and-sell model, procuring products from overseas group companies in Taiwan and Hong Kong and supplying them to domestic and international sales channels. The company develops both its own brand products and Private Brand (Clear Lens / Color Lens) products in parallel, covering ophthalmology clinics, mass retailers, drugstores, and EC channels. The System Business generates stock-type recurring revenue through the design, development, sales, and maintenance of the POS System for the Reuse Industry. The company pursues a strategy of expanding its business domains through M&A to drive sales and profit growth across the group as a whole.

Company Strengths

The flagship product "Sincere One Day S" series achieved sales of ¥1,558 million (up 11.6% year on year) in FY2025 (ending December 2025). With the addition of the astigmatism-correcting lens launched in February 2025, the series as a whole has expanded steadily, and brand recognition and the number of retail outlets in the ophthalmology and mass retailer channels have increased.

The company has executed M&A every fiscal year: the acquisition of the Consulting Business in 2022, the subsidiarization of Talos Systems in 2023, and the acquisition of the color contact lens business from Fryu Corporation in March 2025 (¥160 million). Sales of the color lens Private Brand surged 104.5% year on year, demonstrating that M&A is directly contributing to business performance.

Talos Systems Co., Ltd., a leading company in the POS System for the Reuse Industry, achieved sales of ¥449 million (up 10.8% year on year) and segment profit of ¥90 million (up 57.3% year on year) in FY2025 (ending December 2025). With a profit margin of approximately 20%, the business continues to grow on the back of the expanding reuse market.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Cumulative sales for 1Q FY2026 maintained high growth at ¥1,935 million (up 24.1% YoY), but operating profit declined to ¥143 million (down 6.4% YoY) due to rising raw material costs in the Contact Lens Business. Furthermore, as a result of recording ¥32 million in data usage fees as an extraordinary loss stemming from unauthorized use of cloud servers at subsidiary Talos Systems, quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent fell sharply to ¥68 million (down 22.6% YoY). The gap between revenue growth and profit is widening, making improved cost management an urgent priority.

The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) remains unchanged, with revenue of ¥7,657 million (up 2.7% YoY), operating profit of ¥388 million (up 25.9% YoY), and net income of ¥246 million (up 6.6% YoY). The 1Q cumulative progress rate against the full-year forecast stands at 25.3% for revenue and 36.9% for operating profit, indicating strong progress on the profit side. However, external factors such as persistently high raw material costs, continued yen depreciation, and rising logistics costs pose risks that could pressure profits in the second half, making procurement cost management and SG&A efficiency improvements key to achieving the full-year forecast.

The equity ratio at the end of 1Q FY2026 stood at a healthy 50.1% (versus 52.4% at the end of the previous fiscal year), but accounts payable surged approximately 4.6-fold from ¥99 million at the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥456 million, reflecting the impact of expanded procurement associated with the acquisition of the color contact lens business. Net assets decreased by ¥55 million from the end of the previous fiscal year due to ¥111 million in dividend payments from retained earnings and a decline in deferred hedge gains/losses. The annual dividend forecast is ¥16 per share (a decrease of ¥1 from ¥17 in the previous fiscal year), and changes in the company's shareholder return stance also warrant close attention.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing sustainable growth through deepening the Contact Lens Business and diversifying operations via M&A

The company has expanded its operating structure for the color contact lens sales business (EC site "Mew Contact") acquired in March 2025, significantly growing sales of its own-brand color lenses, Private Brand (Clear Lens / Color Lens) color lenses, and other companies' products. In cumulative 1Q FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales related to color lenses increased over 71% year on year, with results becoming clearly visible.

The company aims to expand sales of the "Sincere S" series at prescribing facilities by strengthening web-centered marketing measures. However, in cumulative 1Q FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales of Sincere One Day S (Clear Lens) declined 6.8% year on year due to intensifying price and promotional competition with rivals and a shift to private brand products, making the realization of measure effects a challenge.

The company has fully launched its Pharmaceutical Affairs Consulting Business, which supports companies entering the Japanese market from overseas. In cumulative 1Q FY2026 (ending March 2026), Consulting Business sales increased 86.7% year on year to ¥24 million, and segment profit increased 94.5% year on year to ¥15 million, with steady acquisition of projects, yielding certain results as a new revenue source.

Subsidiary Talos Systems newly began development of a next-generation POS system this fiscal year. Due to increased development-related costs, System Business segment profit in 1Q FY2026 (ending March 2026) decreased 29.9% year on year, reflecting the burden of upfront investment, but the company aims to strengthen competitiveness and capture new demand once the system is completed.
