Business

Bewith Inc. is a Contact Center & BPO specialist company founded in 2000 (a Pasona Group subsidiary). Its proprietary cloud PBX "Omnia LINK (Cloud PBX)" serves as the source of its competitive advantage, providing one-stop services from operational planning and design through training and operations. The Contact Center business accounts for approximately 70% of net sales, serving customers across a broad range of industries including finance, telecommunications, electric power, and public sector. The company operates 18 locations nationwide with 7,017 booths, and approximately 2,000 staff engage in work-from-home operations. External sales of Omnia LINK (SaaS-based license sales) are also being cultivated as a second pillar of earnings, with external sales ARR reaching ¥1,070 million as of the end of May 2025 (up 35.6% year on year).

Business Model

Main revenue comes from monthly fees for providing staff working hours, systems, and facilities through contact center and BPO outsourcing. Approximately two-thirds of net sales come from full outsourcing arrangements. In addition, license revenue (ARPU of approximately ¥20 thousand per license) accumulates through SaaS-based external sales of Omnia LINK, a system refined through the company's own in-house operations. Because Omnia LINK serves as the core system for contact centers, switching costs are high, and long-term continuing contracts are expected.

Company Strengths

While the Japanese PBX market remains dominated by US manufacturers, the company internalized Omnia LINK by acquiring Ibrit in 2016. This has enabled cost reductions of ¥10 million to ¥100 million per new site and deployment in as little as a few days. An in-house utilization rate of 75.4% (as of May 2025) demonstrates proven operational performance, underpinning product quality.

For FY2025 (ended May 2025), Omnia LINK's external sales ARR reached ¥1,070 million (up 35.6% year-on-year). The number of licenses at period-end was 4,460 (approximately 1.4x year-on-year). In the fourth quarter, the company shipped a record 964 licenses for a single quarter, indicating that its strategy of winning large-scale deals is beginning to bear fruit.

The company operates 18 sites nationwide with 7,017 booths, and approximately 2,000 personnel engaged in work-from-home operations. Its cloud PBX enables flexible use of home-based and satellite work arrangements, providing strong BCP capability and flexible seat capacity expansion. The company has continued to expand its sites since its listing on the TSE Prime Market in March 2022, aiming to maximize order-taking opportunities.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Profit attributable to owners of parent for FY2026 (ending May 2026) recovered to ¥579 million, but the payout ratio against the annual dividend of ¥77 per share (total ¥1,106 million) stands at 188.3%, still substantially exceeding net income. Retained earnings decreased from ¥7,006 million to ¥6,497 million, and the projected payout ratio for FY2027 (ending May 2027) of 116.5% also remains at a high level. Without sustained expansion of net income, maintaining the current dividend level poses a financial challenge.

The ARR of Omnia LINK external sales continued its high growth of +37.8% year on year, but its absolute contribution against sales of ¥36,322 million remains small and has not been sufficient to offset fluctuations in BPO outsourcing revenue. While corporate demand for DX and AI investment provides a favorable external tailwind, the structure seen in FY2026 (ending May 2026), where a reduction in business volume from a specific public-sector project weighed on sales, indicates that the risk of dependence on major clients still remains.

The goodwill of ¥684 million arising from the acquisition of Radiant Communication Sdn. Bhd. is a provisional figure, as the fair value assessment of identifiable assets and liabilities has not been completed due to the short period between the business combination date and the fiscal year-end. The goodwill amount may change once the purchase price allocation is finalized. In addition, an earn-out clause (up to 9.5 million MYR) has been established, creating a risk that additional consideration may arise depending on the acquired company's performance, resulting in a revision to goodwill.

Growth Strategy

Advancing the transition to a BPM model, global expansion of Omnia LINK, and sophistication of the revenue structure through AI utilization

Transforming the traditional labor-intensive (person-month based) BPO revenue structure by shifting to a transaction-based billing model tied to usage volume, leveraging AI agents to create high value-added services. In parallel, the company is strengthening its consulting-type services that provide end-to-end support for AI implementation, aiming to secure new projects and improve unit prices.

Leveraging the local customer base and AI development capabilities of Radiant Communication Sdn. Bhd., which became a consolidated subsidiary in May 2026, to accelerate the localization and multilingual support of Omnia LINK. The company aims to establish a unique position in the Malaysian market, while integrating its proprietary AI agent "KeyAI" with Omnia LINK to provide a comprehensive AI contact center solution.

As of the end of FY2026 (ending May 2026), the number of licenses reached 5,721 (up 28.3% year on year), and ARR grew 37.8% year on year, driven by the shipment of large-scale projects, resulting in steady expansion. The company will continue to promote external sales expansion both domestically and internationally, aiming to stabilize revenue through the accumulation of SaaS-type recurring revenue.

While maintaining the effect of the reduction in the indirect labor cost ratio implemented in FY2026 (ending May 2026), the company continues to establish an appropriate organizational structure in line with the sales level. Through the active use of AI to improve business process efficiency, the company aims to enhance productivity and achieve an operating profit margin of 4.2% in FY2027 (ending May 2027), up from 3.2% in FY2026 (ending May 2026).
