Business
Kosaido Holdings traces its roots to a printing company founded in 1949, and currently operates in three business domains: the Ending Business (cremation, comprehensive funeral halls, funeral services, and ossuary services), centered on Tokyo Hakuzen, which handles approximately 70% of cremations within Tokyo's 23 wards; the Information Solutions Business, centered on printing, BPO, and IT; and the Human Resource Services Business, covering staffing, placement, and overseas human resource development. The group comprises 21 consolidated subsidiaries, with consolidated net sales of ¥36,228 million for FY2026 (ending March 2026). The Ending Business generates the majority of earnings, and the company positions the aging population and rising number of deaths in the greater Tokyo area as a medium- to long-term growth foundation.
Business Model
The core structure is a two-tier model in which the Funeral Public Interest Services segment (cremation business) functions as stable public infrastructure, while the Funeral Services Revenue segment (comprehensive funeral halls, funeral services, ossuary business) expands earnings through high-margin, value-added services. The Information Segment complements stable revenue through order-based businesses in printing, BPO, and IT, while the Human Resources segment earns revenue from staffing and placement fees. The company also develops inheritance consulting and real estate brokerage services related to end-of-life matters, diversifying revenue by leveraging its customer touchpoints.
Company Strengths
Tokyo Hakuzen, with a history of over 100 years, operates 6 comprehensive funeral halls in Tokyo and handles approximately 70% of cremations in Tokyo's 23 wards. Even after becoming a wholly owned subsidiary in 2020, it has continued to expand ceremony halls and renew services. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Funeral Public Interest Services segment profit was ¥1,191 million, maintaining a high profit margin of approximately 21.9%. The company possesses entry barriers backed by regulation, location, and brand that are difficult for competitors to replicate in a short period.
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Information Segment profit was ¥655 million (up 66.0% year on year), with the profit margin improving to 4.4%. In addition to steady performance in publishing and printing, the number of orders received expanded due to an increase in negotiated contracts for BPO Service targeting government agencies and local municipalities. Cost structure improvements from the withdrawal from newspaper printing and reductions in outsourcing costs contributed to the improved profit margin, with the accumulated track record in the administrative field serving as a source of competitive advantage.
In November 2025, the company made Yokohama Seien and Ceremolife subsidiaries, expanding into the Kanagawa area. It newly opened Musashino Hall and Koto Hall, and the number of funeral services conducted under the "Tokyo Hakuzen no Osoushiki" brand increased even amid a decline in the number of deaths. Funeral Services Revenue segment sales were maintained at ¥10,490 million (up 0.5% year on year). The majority of the total capital expenditure of ¥3.4 billion planned for FY2026 (ending March 2026) has been allocated to the expansion of ceremony halls, demonstrating a track record of continuous business expansion.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue trended as follows: ¥35,361 million in FY2022 → ¥36,668 million in FY2023 → ¥35,457 million in FY2024 → ¥38,302 million in FY2025 → ¥36,228 million in FY2026. Operating profit expanded sharply in FY2025 to ¥8,302 million (+55.9% year-on-year), but reversed in FY2026 to ¥6,740 million (-18.8%). The main cause was the end of a large-scale lending deal in Asset Consulting (segment profit of ¥1,447 million in the prior period versus a loss of ¥56 million in the current period). On the other hand, profit attributable to owners of parent secured an increase to ¥4,738 million (+6.2%). This was supported by the recording of extraordinary income (including a gain on sale of fixed assets of ¥416 million) and a significant reduction in extraordinary losses (from ¥1,004 million in the prior period to ¥217 million in the current period). As for the external environment, the number of deaths in Tokyo decreased by approximately 5% year-on-year, creating headwinds for both the Funeral Public Interest Services and Funeral Services Revenue segments. The Information Segment achieved increased revenue and profit, benefiting from the external tailwind of business restructuring at a major printing company.
Growth Strategy
Expansion and M&A promotion of the Ending business, and formulation of a new medium-term management plan aimed at discontinuous growth
Acquired Yokohama Seien (Ossuary Business) and Ceremony Life (Funeral Services) during the period, expanding into the Kanagawa area. Newly opened Musashino Hall and Koto Hall, with orders progressing steadily. Hall capacity is being expanded through the start of the additional ceremony hall at Kirigaya Saijo and the commencement of the floor expansion at Yotsugi Saijo.
Decided to introduce DSR, a small-lot publishing system utilizing digital printing presses, opening up a new revenue source. Promoting withdrawal from the newspaper printing business to improve the cost structure. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Information Segment profit reached ¥655 million, up 66.0% year on year.
Achieved a turnaround to profitability with revenue growth through a concentrated strategy centered on Overseas Human Resource Placement "KosaidoGlobal". Expansion of the staffing business in metropolitan areas has progressed, resulting in higher revenue and profit. The Housekeeping Business remains in the training and investment phase and continues to post losses. Segment loss narrowed from ¥158 million in the prior period to ¥71 million.
Abolished the conventional rolling-format medium-term management plan and is newly formulating a long-term vision looking beyond five years, together with a discontinuous growth strategy. Has set as policy a commitment to strengthening dialogue with the capital markets and achieving sustained enhancement of corporate value, with plans to disclose the plan once finalized.
As of March 31, 2026, the tradable share ratio stood at 33.6%, below the Prime Market's 35% requirement. Plans to disclose a "plan for compliance with listing maintenance criteria" by June 30, 2026. The share buyback (¥6,262 million) was in part a factor lowering the tradable share ratio, making the redesign of capital policy an issue to be addressed.
