Business Details
Comprises four domains: Secure Media (securities, cards, passbooks, etc.), Communication Media (business forms, publishing, advertising printing, etc.), BPO (various outsourced operations), and Digital Business (Marketing DX & Secure Business). With a broad customer base spanning finance, government, public infrastructure, and distribution, this core segment accounts for approximately 50% of the Group's consolidated net sales (external customers). In April 2026, TOPPAN Inc., TOPPAN Edge Inc., and TOPPAN Digital Inc. are scheduled to merge and be reorganized as the Information Solutions Business Segment.
Recent Overview
Slight decline in revenue and flat profit, as Secure and DX offset the reversal decline in BPO
In the Information & Communications Business Segment for FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales (including internal) were ¥923,295 million (down 0.2% year on year) and operating income was ¥45,001 million (down 1.1% year on year), roughly flat overall. While Secure Business, driven by Marketing DX and the effects of the HID and DZ Card acquisitions, drove revenue growth, BPO saw a revenue decline due to the reversal of one-time projects from the previous fiscal year. Communication Media also continued to see contraction in publishing and commercial printing. Impairment loss decreased significantly from ¥36,635 million in the previous period to ¥4,898 million. In April 2026, TOPPAN Inc., TOPPAN Edge Inc., and TOPPAN Digital Inc. will merge and be reorganized as the Information Solutions Business Segment from the following fiscal year.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Expansion of Marketing DX: steady growth in business transformation support tailored to customer industry characteristics
- Expansion of global secure business: growth in government ID business driven by the effects of the acquisitions of HID's Citizen ID business unit and DZ Card (Thailand)
- Increased revenue in Secure Media: growing demand for data printing services and IC card-related products
- Continued acquisition of new projects for BPO business in the finance, government, and public infrastructure sectors
- Improved profitability from structural reforms in Communication Media (consolidation of publishing printing into TOPPAN Crea, reorganization of business form sites)
- Synergy creation and enhanced competitiveness from the April 2026 merger of TOPPAN Inc., TOPPAN Edge Inc., and TOPPAN Digital Inc.
- Transition to a stock-type business model centered on authentication and data management of things in the IoT solutions area
Risks
- Risk of a decline in BPO-related revenue due to the reversal of one-time projects (drop-off of large projects from the previous fiscal year)
- Risk of continued structural contraction in publishing and commercial printing (long-term decline in paper media demand due to digitalization)
- M&A integration risk: uncertainty regarding post-acquisition integration and synergy realization for HID's Citizen ID business unit, DZ Card, and other acquisitions
- Risk of increased SG&A expenses due to rising personnel costs (director compensation and salaries increased by ¥2,949 million year on year on a consolidated basis)
- Impairment loss risk: an impairment loss of ¥4,898 million was recognized in the Information & Communications Business Segment in the current fiscal year (reduced from ¥36,635 million in the previous period, but risk of continuation remains)
- Risk of increased complexity in performance management due to organizational integration and business transition risk associated with the three-company merger and changes in segment classification
