Business

YUTAKA TRUSTY SECURITIES CO., LTD. is a securities company founded in 1957 specializing in commodity derivatives trading (listed on the TSE Standard Market, securities code: 8747). Its core business centers on commodity futures trading in precious metals, energy, and agricultural products on the Osaka Exchange, Tokyo Commodity Exchange, and Dojima Exchange, alongside Exchange Stock Index Margin Trading "Yutaka CFD", Exchange Foreign Exchange Margin Trading "Yutaka24", and Stock Index Futures Trading (Nikkei 225 futures). The company serves both individual investors and corporate industry participants as clients, operating brokerage and proprietary trading businesses in an integrated manner. It operates as a three-company group, with subsidiary Yutaka Asset Trading Co., Ltd. handling proprietary trading operations and Yutaka Estate Co., Ltd. managing real estate such as training facilities.

Business Model

The primary revenue source is commissions received from customers, which accounted for ¥12,510 million (96.3% of operating revenue) in FY2026 (ending March 2026). The commodity derivatives trading business constitutes approximately 87% of commission income, while the financial instruments trading business constitutes approximately 13%. In addition, trading gains/losses from proprietary trading (¥198 million) function as a supplementary revenue source. The structure is such that trading volume increases as market volatility rises, expanding commission income.

Company Strengths

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), precious metals market receiving commissions totaled ¥10,782 million (up 84.2% year on year), accounting for approximately 99% of domestic commodity derivatives trading commission income of ¥10,888 million. Gold (standard trading) brokerage trading volume stood out at 724,211 lots (53.0% of total brokerage trading volume), with the specialized expertise, sales capability, and information provision capability in the precious metals field cultivated since the company's founding in 1957 underpinning its customer base.

In addition to commodity futures on the Osaka Exchange, Tokyo Commodity Exchange, and Dojima Exchange, the company holds a wide range of trading qualifications, including Exchange Foreign Exchange Margin Trading and Exchange Stock Index Margin Trading on the Tokyo Financial Exchange, and Stock Index Futures Trading on the Osaka Exchange (commenced January 2022). This product lineup, which does not depend on a single market environment, contributes to revenue diversification.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved operating income of ¥6,284 million (48.5% of net operating revenue) and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥4,424 million (return on equity of 27.7%). With selling, general and administrative expenses of ¥6,684 million against net operating revenue of ¥12,969 million, the cost-to-revenue leverage is high, demonstrating a proven ability to expand profits during periods of rising volatility.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The extraordinary profit growth—operating revenue up 69.6%, ordinary income up 195.8%, and net income up 131.0%—is the result of a confluence of external factors: gold prices hitting record highs, a sharp surge in crude oil, and significant foreign exchange fluctuations. While trading volume in commodity derivatives transactions increased only 9.3% year on year, trading volume in financial instruments transactions declined 14.4%, indicating that the main driver of revenue expansion was the rise in unit prices and market volatility rather than volume growth. Attention should be paid to the risk of declining revenue levels should market conditions settle down.

Total trading volume in financial instruments transactions fell 14.4% year on year to 1,999 thousand lots, and the fact that the expanding customer base for "Yutaka CFD" and "Yutaka24" has not directly translated into higher trading volume is a cause for concern. While strengthening the product lineup through the acquisition of trading qualifications on the Tokyo Stock Exchange is positioned as a pillar of the medium-term vision, specific progress and timing have not been disclosed. Recovery in trading volume in the financial instruments transactions segment will be key to stabilizing revenue over the medium to long term.

Total assets at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) expanded sharply to ¥286,450 million (roughly 2.3 times the ¥125,860 million at the end of the previous fiscal year), while the capital adequacy ratio declined to 6.3% (from 11.0% at the end of the previous fiscal year). This reflects a balance sheet expansion characteristic of margin trading business, driven by a ¥150,559 million increase in margin deposits paid and a ¥111,775 million increase in margin deposits received. Actual credit risk appears limited, but ongoing monitoring is warranted regarding trends in the capital adequacy ratio under capital regulations and the progression of the provision for litigation losses (remaining balance of ¥129 million).

Growth Strategy

Strengthening the product lineup and maintaining/expanding the customer base based on the medium-term vision

As a pillar of the new medium-term vision, the company aims to acquire trading qualification on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and enter the cash securities market for stocks, ETFs, and similar products. This is expected to enable a shift away from reliance on commodity derivatives as a single revenue pillar and to diversify earnings, though the specific timing of qualification acquisition has not been disclosed.

The company positions Exchange Stock Index Margin Trading "Yutaka CFD" and Exchange Foreign Exchange Margin Trading "Yutaka24" as its core revenue base, and is working to maintain and strengthen its customer base. Deposited margin at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) expanded to ¥171,623 million, approximately 2.9 times the level at the end of the previous fiscal year, indicating progress in asset acquisition.

As indicated by the litigation loss provision balance of ¥129 million, responding to commodity trading accident risk remains an ongoing challenge. The medium-term vision explicitly calls for further strengthening of compliance and risk management, aiming to balance the maintenance of customer trust with regulatory compliance.

The company continues to actively invest in human resources, with personnel expenses of ¥4,501 million (compared to ¥3,581 million in the previous fiscal year). The significant increase in the bonus provision to ¥392 million (from ¥175 million in the previous fiscal year) reflects the expansion of performance-linked compensation, aiming to strengthen sales capabilities through the recruitment and retention of talented personnel.
