Business

Taiheiyo Kohatsu Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard-listed company founded in 1920. Starting from coal mining, it transformed through an energy transition into a diversified enterprise comprising five segments: Real Estate, Trading, Services, Construction, and Fertilizer. In the core Trading Segment (approximately 66% of consolidated net sales), the company sells imported coal and biomass fuel to electric power companies, the pulp and paper industry, and others. The Real Estate Segment is centered on residential condominium leasing in Sapporo, and also handles condominium sales and management. The Services Segment operates 10 fee-based nursing homes in total across Tokyo and Hokkaido, while the Construction and Fertilizer Segments support Hokkaido's industrial infrastructure. Group-wide net sales, including 13 consolidated subsidiaries, totaled ¥42,802 million (FY2026, ending March 2026).

Business Model

In the Trading Segment, in addition to the procurement and sale of imported coal and biomass fuel, cost competitiveness is secured through vertical integration, with group companies Pacific Transportation Co., Ltd. and Shin Taiheiyo Trading Co., Ltd. handling transportation and cargo handling. The Real Estate Segment generates stable cash flow through rental income from company-owned land and acquired properties (occupancy rate exceeding 90%). The Services Segment operates fee-based nursing homes under a division-of-labor structure in which the parent company handles facility leasing and subsidiaries handle operations. The structure is such that each segment complements the others, diversifying revenue sources.

Company Strengths

In the Trading Segment, in addition to sales of Imported Coal Sales and Biomass Fuel (Pellets, etc.) Sales, consolidated subsidiary Pacific Transportation Co., Ltd. handles land transportation while Shin Pacific Trading Co., Ltd. handles port cargo handling. By internalizing transportation and cargo handling within the Group, the company suppresses outsourcing costs and maintains price competitiveness. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Trading Segment sales were ¥28,419 million, accounting for approximately 66% of consolidated net sales.

Residential condominium leasing properties acquired since FY2014 (ending March 2014), centered in Sapporo City, have maintained high occupancy rates since acquisition, recording an average of over 90% even as of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026). Commercial retail and leasing properties have also remained nearly fully occupied, making the Real Estate Segment a stable earnings base with net sales of ¥3,180 million and operating profit of ¥846 million.

Pacific Silver Services Co., Ltd. operates 8 fee-based nursing home facilities in Tokyo, maintaining high occupancy rates. Under a division-of-labor structure in which the parent company leases the facilities to the subsidiary, facility ownership risk and operational risk are separated. The Services Segment achieved net sales of ¥5,684 million and operating profit of ¥442 million (up 20.8% year on year) in FY2026 (ending March 2026).

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company secured a revenue increase to ¥42,802 million (up 1.7% year on year), but operating profit fell to ¥855 million (down 0.2%), ordinary profit to ¥546 million (down 3.6%), and profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥343 million (down 10.2%), marking a second consecutive year of profit deterioration. The main cause was increased repair costs for leased buildings in the Real Estate Segment, and the underlying fragility—where expanding revenue scale fails to translate into profit—continues. The operating margin remained at an extremely low 2.0%.

The Fertilizer Segment posted an operating loss of ¥125 million (worsening from a loss of ¥113 million in the previous period) due to soaring raw material prices. In the Construction Segment, revenue fell 14.5% year on year to ¥3,063 million on declining orders received, and operating profit dropped sharply by 18.8% to ¥95 million. The underperformance of these two segments offset the profit gains from Trading and Services. The lack of disclosed improvement measures for these structurally loss-making segments is a concern for investors.

For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company implemented a dividend of ¥40 per share (total ¥311 million), an increase of ¥1 year on year, but the payout ratio against profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥343 million stood at an extremely high 90.6%. For the FY2027 (ending March 2027) forecast (net profit of ¥470 million), the payout ratio is expected to improve to 67.0%, but given the current profit level, there is limited room for further dividend increases. In addition, a potential financial risk persists in the form of a debt guarantee of ¥3,097 million extended to Taiheiyo Coal Mine Co., Ltd. (which has negative net assets of ¥939 million, indicating a capital deficiency).

Growth Strategy

Diversification of the earnings base through expanded biomass fuel sales, utilization of company-owned land, and increased service segment orders

Amid rising demand for renewable energy, the company is shifting the Trading Segment's earnings structure away from its dependence on Imported Coal Sales toward Biomass Fuel (Pellets, etc.) Sales. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Trading Segment sales increased 2.5% year on year on higher sales volume, and expansion of sales continues, leveraging existing transportation and cargo handling infrastructure.

The creation of new leasing revenue businesses utilizing company-owned land is explicitly stated as part of the management strategy. Capital expenditure in the Real Estate Segment expanded to ¥495 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), up ¥90 million year on year, as the company continues to expand its portfolio of income-producing properties. The policy is to strengthen the Real Estate Segment's stable earnings base together with improvements in vacancy rates.

Driven primarily by an increase in orders for administrative and technical computation work, the Services Segment achieved operating profit of ¥442 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), up 20.8% year on year. Business expansion continues through ¥307 million in fixed asset investment, and together with the Fee-Based Nursing Home Business, this is being nurtured as a stable revenue source. It is a key pillar for achieving the companywide operating profit forecast of ¥1,160 million for FY2027 (ending March 2027).

Although sales volume of agricultural fertilizer and related products increased 5.3% year on year in FY2026 (ending March 2026), the operating loss widened to ¥125 million due to soaring raw material prices. Cost improvement through expanded use of in-house mined limestone remains a challenge, and disclosure of specific improvement measures is currently limited.
