Business

Toshoh Co., Ltd. upholds the corporate philosophy of "contributing to society and people through health promotion," and operates three businesses: the Sports Club Business ("Holiday Sports Club," 95 locations nationwide), the Hotel Business ("AB Hotel," 38 locations, 4,938 rooms), and the Real Estate Business (Rental Condominium "A・City," 51 buildings with 2,040 units, and 3 tenant buildings). Originating from the construction industry, the company is characterized by highly cost-effective business development leveraging its in-house construction and operational know-how for its own facilities. Its main customers are diverse, including adult members aged 16 and above (sports clubs), business travelers and inbound tourists (hotels), and singles and families (rental condominiums). While Aichi Prefecture serves as its home base, the company conducts business across 37 prefectures nationwide.

Business Model

The Sports Club Business generates stable membership revenue through a monthly fee system, the Hotel Business maximizes room rates and occupancy through demand-linked pricing via revenue management, and the Real Estate Business consists of rental income from rental condominiums and tenant buildings. The company's in-house construction expertise, rooted in its origins as a construction company, helps contain capital expenditure costs, and each business sets an ordinary income margin of 35% or higher for a single store as the standard for its store-opening model. The stock-type revenues of the three businesses complement one another, forming a structure that generates stable cash flow.

Company Strengths

The Hotel Business, operated by AB Hotel Co., Ltd., achieved segment profit of ¥4,893 million and a profit margin of 39.9% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Price optimization through revenue management, cost reductions from expanding in-house cleaning at hotel properties, and increased inbound demand capture through enhanced exposure on overseas OTAs contributed in combination, raising average room rates while maintaining an average occupancy rate of 84.7% across the existing 34 properties.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales fell to ¥27,595 million (down 22.5% year on year) due to the reversal of the prior period's large-scale real estate sale (over ¥9,000 million to S.T.12 GK), while operating profit rose sharply to ¥7,472 million (up 27.0%) and profit attributable to owners of parent surged to ¥3,549 million (up 188.9%). The disappearance of the ¥1,596 million impairment loss recorded in the prior period and the reversal of the store closure loss provision also contributed, but the completion of price pass-through at Sports Club Business and increased revenue at Hotel Business drove the improvement in earnings on a core-business basis, which can be evaluated as a qualitative improvement in performance.

Segment profit for Hotel Business was ¥4,893 million, accounting for roughly 65% of company-wide operating profit of ¥7,472 million, further strengthening its position as the earnings driver. With the new openings of "AB Hotel Echizen-Takefu" in September 2025 and "AB Hotel Inuyama" in February 2026, the network now comprises 38 properties. The average occupancy rate for the existing 34 properties was 84.7% (down 3.0 percentage points year on year), reflecting a strategy of raising average room rates while optimizing occupancy. Inbound demand (particularly in the Kansai region) is providing a tailwind to the market environment, but the future pace of new openings and the recovery in occupancy rate will be the focus of evaluation going forward.

The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is net sales of ¥27,370 million (down 0.8% year on year), operating profit of ¥7,660 million (up 2.5%), ordinary profit of ¥7,630 million (up 2.1%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥3,230 million (down 9.0%). The decline in net profit appears to be mainly due to the drop-off of extraordinary income recorded in the prior period (such as gain on reversal of asset retirement obligations). Meanwhile, the company acquired 2,192,793 treasury shares (approximately 5.7% of issued shares) during the current period, raising net assets per share from ¥946.18 to ¥1,045.94. The annual dividend is planned to be maintained at ¥10 (double the ¥5 of the prior period), and the enhancement of shareholder returns is a point of positive evaluation.

Growth Strategy

Enhancing corporate value through three pillars: new hotel openings, recovery in Sports Club Business profitability, and stabilization of Real Estate Business earnings

AB Hotel Echizen Takefu opened in September 2025 and AB Hotel Inuyama opened in February 2026, establishing a network of 38 hotels with 4,938 rooms. The company is capturing inbound demand through revenue management optimization of room rates and increased exposure on overseas OTAs, while continuing cost reductions through expansion of in-house cleaning operations. Continued new openings are expected in FY2027 (ending March 2027).

Completed price pass-through by unifying existing members' monthly fees to current pricing levels by November 2025. Achieved cost reductions through energy-efficient equipment upgrades and labor savings from business process improvements. Closed 4 underperforming locations (now 95 locations) to concentrate management resources. Promoting new member acquisition through the introduction of new machines for women and expansion of new membership categories.

Promoting stable full-occupancy management of 51 rental condominium buildings (2,040 units) and accumulating rental income through a network of 3 tenant buildings, including Tenant Building (TOSHO BLDG) Toyota, which opened in June 2025. Rental profit/loss improved from ¥480 million in the previous fiscal year to ¥711 million in the current fiscal year. The company is optimizing asset efficiency through selective sale and acquisition of owned real estate while maintaining unrealized gains (market value of ¥14,752 million).

Acquired 2,192,793 shares of treasury stock (approximately 5.7% of shares issued) for ¥1,714 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Doubled the annual dividend from ¥5 in the previous fiscal year to ¥10, with an annual dividend of ¥10 (payout ratio of 11.0%) also planned for FY2027 (ending March 2027). Net assets per share rose from ¥946.18 to ¥1,045.94, aiming to enhance shareholder value.
