Business
Mitani Sekisan is a specialty trading company group founded in 1914 and headquartered in Kanazawa City, Fukui Prefecture, with 150 subsidiaries and 16 affiliated companies. Its business consists of three segments: "Information Systems Business," "Corporate Supply Business," and "Lifestyle & Regional Services Business." The Information Systems Business provides IT solutions to municipalities and corporations; the Corporate Supply Business supplies industrial materials such as construction materials, petroleum products, gondolas, and spices through business-to-business transactions; and the Lifestyle & Regional Services Business offers services to end consumers, including Cable TV & Information/Communications Services, Nursing Care, Car Dealer, and Gas Station operations, primarily in the Hokuriku region. Consolidated net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥339,031 million.
Business Model
In the Corporate Supply Business, which accounts for approximately 49% of net sales, the company accumulates gross profit through business-to-business transactions in construction materials, energy, gondolas, and other areas. In the Lifestyle & Regional Services Business, which accounts for approximately 41%, the company secures stock-type recurring revenue from cable TV, nursing care, and other services. The Information Systems Business (approximately 9%) generates ongoing revenue from software maintenance and packaged software in addition to hardware sales. Expansion of business domains through M&A and investment gains from equity-method affiliates also function as revenue sources.
Company Strengths
The Information Systems Business posted an operating margin of 16.8% in FY2026 (ending March 2026) (net sales of ¥31,408 million, operating profit of ¥5,289 million), the highest level among all segments. Recurring revenue from package software for local governments, warehouse management software, and hardware maintenance services underpins this high profitability, and the segment maintains a customer base that continuously captures demand from GIGA School Program renewals, standardization of local government systems, and similar initiatives.
The gondola business, centered on Nippon Bisoh Co., Ltd., has a vertically integrated structure spanning manufacturing, sales, and rental, and maintained strong sales in FY2026 (ending March 2026) as well, backed by demand for renovation of high-rise condominiums. In terms of capital expenditure, the company has continued to invest in rental gondolas (a major component of the ¥6,890 million in capital expenditure), building a manufacturing and maintenance network that is difficult for competitors to replicate in a short period of time.
At the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), total net assets stood at ¥209,892 million, and cash and cash equivalents stood at ¥116,085 million. Against borrowings of ¥9.1 billion, cash and deposits amounted to ¥140.8 billion, resulting in net cash of ¥131.7 billion, a level exceeding the EV (≈ invested capital) of ¥78.1 billion. This financial structure, which can cover working capital and capital expenditure with internal funds, supports the company's agility in M&A and new investments.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue expanded modestly from ¥299,350 million in FY2022 to ¥339,031 million in FY2026. Meanwhile, operating profit increased approximately 56% over the same period, from ¥20,733 million to ¥32,387 million, with the operating margin improving significantly from 6.9% to 9.6%. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), although revenue was roughly flat, profit attributable to owners of parent reached a record high of ¥23,453 million, driven by a reduction in cost of sales (gross margin of 18.5%), a doubling of equity-method investment gains (from ¥847 million to ¥1,767 million), the recognition of ¥538 million in foreign exchange gains, and the disappearance of the prior period's large extraordinary losses (repair cost provisions and impairment losses totaling ¥2,145 million). For FY2027 (ending March 2026)... [Note: correction—FY2027 refers to fiscal year ending March 2027], a decline in profit is forecast due to external factors such as the falloff of special demand and deteriorating fuel market conditions.
Growth Strategy
Pursuing value-added growth through M&A and overseas expansion alongside strengthening existing business profitability through TQM activities as twin drivers
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Crown Bousai Co., Ltd. and two other companies were newly consolidated (3 companies added, 2 excluded in total). Investment amount for the current fiscal year was ¥6,890 million. Overseas EV stands at ¥12.8 billion (16% of total EV), with a policy to continue expanding this going forward. The company has explicitly identified the Pacific Rim region (Southeast Asia, North America, Australia) and service industries in major metropolitan areas such as Tokyo as investment targets.
TQM activities that visualize the added value of businesses and drive the PDCA cycle are being rolled out company-wide. Gross profit has been expanding at a CAGR of +8.1% over the past three years. Gross profit for FY2026 (ending March 2026) reached ¥62,633 million (up 4.1% year on year), steadily improving as a result of enhanced price pass-through capability and thorough cost management.
The company is capturing multiple sources of special demand—GIGA School device replacement, end of Windows 10 support, and standardization of local government systems (migration to Government Cloud)—through its existing customer base, achieving net sales of ¥31,408 million and segment profit of ¥5,289 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026). While the special demand is expected to taper off in FY2027 (ending March 2026), recurring revenue from warehouse management packages, maintenance services, and other stock-type businesses is expected to provide support.
Against the backdrop of the large-scale renovation cycle for high-rise apartments, sales and rental in the Gondola Manufacturing, Sales & Rental business have been strong. This contributed to increased revenue and profit in FY2026 (ending March 2026), and the company expects robust demand to continue in FY2027 (ending March 2026) as well. The company continues to invest in rental gondola equipment, aiming to build up recurring, stock-type revenue.
