Business

Tomoni Holdings is a financial holding company (with 10 consolidated subsidiaries) with The Tokushima Taisho Bank, Ltd. and The Kagawa Bank, Ltd. as its two core subsidiaries. Operating primarily in Tokushima and Kagawa prefectures, the group conducts Banking Business—including deposits, lending, foreign exchange, and securities investment—as its core operations. In addition, it offers peripheral financial services such as Leasing Business (Tomoni Lease), Credit Card Business (Tomoni Card), Venture Capital Business, and GX & Regional Revitalization Business, with regional SMEs and individual customers as its main client base. Since its establishment in April 2010, the group has strengthened its foundation as a wide-area financial group, notably through the formation of The Tokushima Taisho Bank in 2020 and its transition to the Prime Market in 2022.

Business Model

Deposits raised from customers (¥4,579,488 million on a bank-combined basis) are used to fund lending to SMEs and individuals (¥3,856,139 million on a bank-combined basis) and securities investment (¥773,217 million on a consolidated basis), generating fund management income from the deposit-lending interest margin. This is supplemented by fee-based services income (¥14,148 million on a consolidated basis) and gains on sales of equities, forming a multi-layered revenue structure. Through collaboration with group companies, the company also provides peripheral services such as leasing, credit cards, and venture capital, and aims to expand its fee income base through total assets in custody (¥5,051,555 million on a bank-combined basis).

Company Strengths

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the final year of the 5th Medium-Term Management Plan, the Company exceeded its plan across all indicators of profitability, efficiency, soundness, and growth: profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥16.1 billion (plan: ¥14.8 billion), core net business income of ¥33.0 billion (plan: ¥22.3 billion), core business profit of ¥20.0 billion (plan: ¥14.1 billion), deposits balance of ¥4,720.3 billion (plan: ¥4,500.0 billion or more), and loans balance of ¥3,856.1 billion (plan: ¥3,600.0 billion or more).

The combined bank OHR based on core gross business profit was 50.55% (down 3.80 percentage points year on year), significantly surpassing the plan target of 60% or below. Tokushima Taisho Bank's core net business income was ¥18,724 million (up ¥3,181 million year on year), while Kagawa Bank's was ¥14,281 million (up ¥1,918 million year on year), with both banks improving their core business earning power, leading to steady improvement in the Group's overall revenue efficiency.

Through its two-bank structure of Tokushima Taisho Bank and Kagawa Bank, the Group maintains a wide-area business network spanning both Tokushima and Kagawa Prefectures. On a combined bank basis, total assets in custody reached ¥5,051,555 million (up ¥202,044 million from the end of the previous fiscal year), and the loans balance steadily expanded to ¥3,856,139 million (up ¥157,882 million from the end of the previous fiscal year). The Group also maintains a sound financial base, with a consolidated capital adequacy ratio of 9.45% (domestic standard).

ENVALITH's Perspective

Consolidated loan interest income for FY2026 (ending March 2026) came to ¥60,233 million, up ¥8,611 million year on year, driving the majority of the ¥9,668 million increase in ordinary income. While the BOJ's policy rate hikes have provided an external tailwind, the company also expects loan interest income to increase by ¥7,650 million year on year in the following period, FY2027 (ending March 2027) (an increase of ¥8,000 million after deducting foreign currency funding costs), suggesting significant room for expansion in net interest income as long as the current rate environment persists. On the other hand, deposit interest is also expected to increase by ¥8,800 million year on year, and the tug-of-war with rising funding costs will determine the direction of the interest margin.

Consolidated credit-related expenses for FY2026 (ending March 2026) came to ¥9,531 million, up ¥5,839 million year on year, of which the provision for bad debts expanded to ¥7,958 million (up ¥5,218 million year on year). The company attributes the increase to support for business turnaround among client companies, among other factors, with credit-related expenses at Kagawa Bank on a standalone basis particularly large at ¥6,379 million (up ¥4,251 million year on year). For the following period, credit-related expenses are projected at ¥4,000 million (a decrease of ¥5,531 million year on year), but with the risk of deteriorating cash flow among SMEs still remaining, the feasibility of this improvement outlook is the greatest uncertainty affecting the achievement of the earnings forecast.

The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥26 per share (an increase of ¥9.50 year on year, with a payout ratio of 31.0%), and including ¥999 million in share buybacks, the total return ratio comes to 37.1%. For the following period, a dividend of ¥30 (up ¥4 year on year, payout ratio of 32.2%) is forecast, and the company has announced a policy of gradually raising the payout ratio to 35% or higher and the total return ratio to 40% or higher by FY2028 (ending March 2028). The expected sixth consecutive year of dividend increases indicates an improving stance on shareholder returns. However, the structural headwinds of population decline and shrinking demand in Shikoku and other regional areas remain unchanged, and maintaining the revenue base through wide-area expansion, digitalization, and strengthened consulting functions will be key to medium- to long-term corporate value.

Growth Strategy

Under the 6th Medium-Term Management Plan, the company is promoting evolution into a wide-area financial group while leveraging changes in the interest rate environment and strengthening shareholder returns.

Against the backdrop of the Bank of Japan's policy rate hikes, interest on loans is expected to increase by ¥7,650 million year on year in the next fiscal year (an increase of ¥8,000 million after deducting foreign currency funding costs). The policy is to increase loan balances while improving yields, while maintaining the improved deposit-lending margin (0.58% for the bank on a combined all-branch basis).

The company is expanding total assets in custody, including investment trusts, life insurance, and public bonds (¥5,051,555 million on a combined bank basis), and promoting diversification of non-interest income through increased fee-based services income. Expansion of business revitalization support, GX-related business, and the Venture Capital Business is also being pursued in parallel.

The plan is to normalize credit-related expenses, which surged to ¥9,531 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), to ¥4,000 million in the next fiscal year (a decrease of ¥5,531 million year on year). The aim is to achieve both improvement in the condition of debtors through support for business restructuring and management improvement of small and medium-sized enterprises, and maintenance of an appropriate level of provisions.

The company has announced a policy of phased increases toward a payout ratio of 35% or more and a total return ratio of 40% or more by FY2029. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the annual dividend is expected to be ¥26 (payout ratio of 31.0%, total return ratio of 37.1%), and for the next fiscal year, ¥30 (payout ratio of 32.2%), marking a sixth consecutive year of dividend increases. Efforts are being promoted toward management that is conscious of cost of capital and stock price.

While operating expenses in the next fiscal year are expected to increase by ¥1,100 million year on year due to base pay increases and system investment, the policy is to maintain improvement in the core gross business profit OHR (50.55% on a combined bank basis). The company is promoting operational efficiency through digitalization and investment in talent development in parallel, aiming to strengthen sustainable earning power.
