Business Model
A composite model combining flow-type revenue (New Condominium and Detached House Sales, Renovated Condominium Sales, Income-producing Real Estate Sales, Hotel Facility Sales) with stock-type revenue (Real Estate Leasing Management and Operation, Hotel Facility Operation). The company excels not only in new development but also in the regeneration and value-addition of existing stock, and handles residential, commercial, and lodging asset types alike. Backed by a stable funding base, including the utilization of a loan guarantee facility from Daiwa House Industry, the company drives the cycle of real estate acquisition, development, operation, and sale.
Company Strengths
The company has been promoting a shift toward properties in central urban areas and higher price segments in Renovated Condominium Sales, improving gross profit margin from 14.3% in FY2025 (ending March 2025) to 15.4% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). It recorded 260 units delivered and net sales of ¥24,379 million, with its existing-stock regeneration model, which does not rely on new construction, expanding its contribution to earnings.
The Lodging Business, centered on the apartment hotel brand "MIMARU," achieved a segment profit margin of 31.6% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Operating KPIs improved, with occupancy rate at 76.1% (72.7% in the previous period) and average daily rate at ¥52 thousand (¥50 thousand in the previous period). Combined with Hotel Facility Sales (2 properties delivered), net sales came to ¥29,068 million and segment profit to ¥9,188 million.
In January 2024, the company entered into a three-way capital and business alliance with Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd. and Kyoritsu Maintenance Co., Ltd. The provision of a loan guarantee facility from Daiwa House Industry has enabled stable external fundraising. The equity ratio improved to 30.64% at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) (27.88% in the previous period), and the net D/E ratio declined from 1.5x to 1.3x.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
From FY2022 (ending March 2022) to FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue grew from ¥107,349 million to ¥149,296 million (up 39.1% over five periods), while operating profit rose from ¥3,351 million to ¥12,537 million (up 274% over the same period), reflecting a substantial improvement in profitability. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue increased 15.3% year on year, operating profit increased 32.6%, and net income attributable to owners of parent increased 54.7%, demonstrating accelerating growth. Externally, this was supported by continued robust demand in the real estate investment market and expanding inbound demand. Return on equity improved to 15.5% (from 11.3% in the prior period), and the operating margin rose to 8.4% (from 7.3% in the prior period), indicating improvement across profitability metrics. On the other hand, inventories increased by ¥8,799 million, and managing inventory risk arising from the buildup of real estate held for sale in process will be a key challenge going forward.
