Business

Senkon Logistics Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive logistics company founded in 1959, based primarily in the Tohoku economic region, comprising the Company and 7 consolidated subsidiaries. The business is divided into 5 segments: Transportation Business, Warehousing Business, Passenger Car Sales Business, Renewable Energy Business, and Others (Real Estate, Funeral Services, and Quarrying). In the logistics business, the company has built an integrated multimodal transportation system spanning land, sea, and air, offering diverse services including 3PL (Comprehensive Corporate Logistics Outsourcing) Service, Forwarding Service, record management services, and trunk room (storage) services. In the Passenger Car Sales Business, the company sells new and used Honda vehicles and provides maintenance services mainly in Saitama Prefecture, forming the Group's largest revenue segment. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

In the logistics business, the company provides an integrated offering of warehousing, transportation, customs clearance, 3PL, and records management, generating recurring revenue by comprehensively outsourcing customers' logistics operations. In the Passenger Car Sales Business, in addition to new and used car sales, the service segment—including Repair Services (Vehicle Inspection & Maintenance)—supplements earnings with stable revenue. The Renewable Energy Business generates stable cash flow through power sales revenue utilizing the FIT (Feed-in Tariff) system. The company has a diversified earnings structure in which each segment functions in a mutually complementary manner.

Company Strengths

Since its founding in 1959, the company has expanded sales offices and distribution centers across Miyagi, Iwate, Akita, Yamagata, Fukushima, Niigata, Shimane and other prefectures. Its low-temperature warehouses in Yamagata, Niigata, and Furukawa have obtained government warehouse designation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, giving it a reliable track record in handling public logistics such as rice. It has also obtained Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification as a customs broker, equipping it with international logistics capabilities.

In the Warehousing Business, operating profit for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥782 million against operating revenue of ¥4,154 million, maintaining a high profit margin. The company has promoted specialization in 3PL, outsourcing, Forwarding Service, record management services, and trunk room (storage) services, and achieved profit growth of 101.2% year-on-year through thorough cost management including outsourcing expenses.

The Passenger Car Sales Business, centered on Honda Cars Saitama Nishi Co., Ltd., is the group's largest segment with operating revenue of ¥10,126 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Earnings are supported by a combination of factors: rising average transaction value driven by increased sales of higher-priced vehicles, steady performance in Used Car Sales, and stable revenue from the Repair Services (Vehicle Inspection & Maintenance) segment.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), operating revenue increased to ¥19,919 million (up 5.8% year on year), but operating profit fell sharply to ¥569 million (down 30.0% year on year) and profit attributable to owners of parent declined to ¥167 million (down 67.0% year on year). The main causes were the recording of an inventory valuation loss in the Quarrying Business (which widened the operating loss of Other Businesses from ¥58 million to ¥289 million) and increased costs from new outlet openings and higher personnel expenses in the Passenger Car Sales Business. The disappearance of the gain on sale of investment securities (¥113 million) recorded in the previous period also weighed on ordinary profit.

The company forecasts operating revenue of ¥20,300 million, operating profit of ¥720 million, ordinary profit of ¥860 million, and net profit of ¥480 million for FY2027 (ending March 2027). The inventory valuation loss in the Quarrying Business is a one-time factor, and profit recovery appears reasonable once new outlet costs in the Passenger Car Sales Business stabilize. However, structural cost pressures continue, including labor shortages, persistently high fuel costs, and increased costs associated with compliance with working-hour regulations in the logistics industry, making it essential to secure appropriate freight rates and maintain thorough cost management to achieve the forecast.

Cash flow from operating activities in FY2026 (ending March 2026) fell sharply to ¥393 million from ¥1,475 million in the previous period. The main causes were an increase in income taxes paid (up ¥343 million year on year) and an increase in inventory (¥471 million decrease in cash flow terms). Total long-term and short-term borrowings amounted to approximately ¥7,775 million (combining current and non-current portions), accounting for approximately 42% of total assets, and interest expense also increased year on year (from ¥69 million to ¥88 million). The equity ratio stood at a low 32.5%, making the high financial leverage and the recovery of cash-generating capacity key points to watch going forward.

Growth Strategy

Expanding the profit base through deeper specialization in 3PL and strengthened passenger car sales infrastructure

Continuing to promote specialization in 3PL, outsourcing, forwarding, records management services, and the trunk room business. Aiming to improve profit margins in the transportation and warehousing businesses through securing appropriate freight rates in business-to-business logistics and thorough cost management.

Promoting expansion of trading areas through the opening of new locations, while strengthening the sales structure and enhancing service departments (vehicle inspection & maintenance, etc.) to strengthen the profit base. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), costs associated with new locations were incurred in advance, but profit contribution is expected from the following period onward.

In the Quarrying Business, a valuation loss on inventory was recorded (in FY2026 (ending March 2026)) reflecting declining profitability of inventory products (crushed stone). The company aims to promote optimization of its business portfolio and improve asset efficiency through effective utilization and appropriate allocation of management resources.

Working to improve the working environment, develop professionals, and thoroughly implement safety education and safety management from the perspective of employee satisfaction (ES) management. Promoting measures for securing and retaining human resources, including responding to working-hour regulations in the logistics industry, to build a sustainable business operation foundation.
