Business

TSUTSUMI JEWELRY CO.,LTD was founded in 1973 in Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture, as a specialized jewelry manufacturer. For jewelry products including Necklaces & Bracelets, Rings, and Accessories, the company operates a vertically integrated business spanning raw material procurement, product planning and development, manufacturing, retail sales through directly-operated stores, and wholesale distribution. As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company operates 145 stores nationwide (centered on 88 stores in the Kanto region, with expansion into the Tohoku, Chubu, Kinki, Kyushu, and other regions), with its main customer base consisting of domestic general consumers and inbound foreign visitors to Japan. Its non-consolidated subsidiary, Oita Tsutsumi Precious Metals Co., Ltd., handles outsourced processing for the manufacturing division, supplementing the company's production capacity. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

By handling everything in-house from raw material procurement to product planning, development, manufacturing, and sales, the company eliminates intermediary margins and enhances profitability through a vertically integrated business model. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the cost of sales ratio was approximately 56.6% (cost of sales of ¥19,930 million against net sales of ¥35,225 million), with directly-operated store sales serving as the core revenue driver. Capital expenditures and working capital are funded entirely through internal resources, maintaining a debt-free management policy.

Company Strengths

By handling everything in-house from raw material procurement to manufacturing and direct-store sales, the operating margin for FY2026 (ending March 2026) reached 14.9% (operating profit of ¥5,243 million on net sales of ¥35,225 million). In addition, working capital and capital expenditures are funded entirely from internal resources, and net assets at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) stood at ¥70,104 million, reflecting an extremely sound financial base.

The company owns its own house brands such as "Pure Planets" and "Blessed Rain," and continuously launches new series in response to changing consumer needs. In research and development, the company is working on improving metallurgy and casting technology, advancing stone-setting techniques, and establishing rapid new-product manufacturing technology utilizing CAD/CAM, with R&D expenses of ¥46 million recorded for FY2026 (ending March 2026).

As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company operated a directly-managed sales network of 145 stores nationwide, centered on 88 stores in the Kanto region and spanning 7 regions across Japan. During the period, 16 stores were renovated, strengthening sales and customer-drawing capabilities. Of the ¥831 million in capital expenditures, ¥404 million was allocated to store interior costs, reflecting continuous investment in maintaining and improving store quality.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved remarkable growth with revenue up 41.8% year-on-year and operating profit up 117.6% year-on-year, but the company's forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) anticipates a significant reversal, with revenue of ¥31,300 million (down 11.1% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥4,000 million (down 23.7% year-on-year). The fading of the price-boosting effect from the surge in bullion prices and uncertainty over the outlook for personal consumption could serve as headwinds. Determining whether the high level achieved in FY2026 (ending March 2026) is temporary or reflects structural improvement will be the core of the investment judgment.

Despite pre-tax profit reaching ¥5,437 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), cash flow from operating activities was only ¥603 million. The main cause was an increase in inventories (merchandise and finished goods up ¥2,233 million, raw materials and supplies up ¥1,978 million, work in process up ¥600 million), which together absorbed ¥4,812 million in cash. It is necessary to continuously monitor trends in inventory turnover to determine whether the inventory buildup accompanying the rapid expansion of sales reflects deliberate advance investment or the risk of excess inventory.

The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was raised 43.8% to ¥115 (from ¥80 in the previous period), with total dividends paid amounting to ¥1,797 million. The dividend payout ratio stands at an appropriate 48.7%. On the other hand, return on equity (ROE) remained low at 5.4%, indicating that profitability is still weak relative to the net assets scale of ¥70,104 million. The rise in the market-value-based equity ratio to 62.1% (from 50.5% in the previous period) reflects the increase in share price, but attention should be paid to whether the company presents a policy of share buybacks or aggressive growth investment aimed at fundamentally improving capital efficiency.

Growth Strategy

Pursuing sustainable growth through enhanced customer traffic and higher spend per customer via existing store renewals and new product development

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), a total of 16 stores underwent renewal, driving store revitalization and stronger customer traffic. This contributed to achieving a 41.8% year-on-year increase in net sales. The policy is to continue investing in store renovations in FY2027 (ending March 2026) to improve customer satisfaction and encourage store visits.

Even amid an environment of rising raw material prices, including surging bullion prices, the company planned and developed new products with an emphasis on quality, design, and concept, enriching its product lineup. This raised the average customer spend through increased added value and achieved differentiation from competitors, resulting in a 59.7% year-on-year increase in Necklaces & Bracelets.

As a management policy for FY2027 (ending March 2026), the company has stated its intention to further promote improvements in customer satisfaction and to devote full effort to creating stores that please more customers. Even amid forecasts of lower revenue and profit, the priority is to maintain and expand the customer base, aiming to strengthen the medium- to long-term profit base.
