Business

Hito Yume Gijutsu Group Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive construction consultant group engaged in surveying, planning, design, and construction management across a wide range of fields including bridges, roads, rivers, ground engineering, environment, and renewable energy. The group comprises 14 consolidated subsidiaries and 12 affiliated companies, led by its core subsidiary Chodai Co., Ltd., with major customers including government agencies such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Defense. The Consultant Business accounts for over 96% of net sales, while the group also operates the Service Provider Business, which handles PPP/PFI and renewable energy operations, and the Products Business, which sells eco-friendly products and information systems. The group is also promoting overseas business, primarily centered on Southeast Asia.

Business Model

The majority of revenue comes from construction consulting work (orders of ¥46,222 million) received from government agencies such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Defense, with revenue recognized according to progress. In addition to this, the company is building up concession- and operation-type revenue (Service Provider Business), such as small-scale hydropower generation in the Philippines and domestic glamping operations, aiming to shift from an order-dependent model toward stable, recurring stock-type revenue.

Company Strengths

In FY2025 (ended September 2025), sales to the Ministry of Defense reached ¥5,124 million (11.1% of total sales), emerging as a new major customer. The business spans a wide range of fields from Geological & Soil Survey to structural design and construction, functioning as a new pillar of government demand expected to see continued expansion driven by increased defense spending.

In FY2025 (ended September 2025), sales to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism reached ¥15,204 million (33.1% of total sales), a substantial increase from ¥11,190 million in the prior period. Backed by sustained budget allocations for national resilience and disaster prevention/mitigation, core businesses such as bridge and tunnel deterioration countermeasures and river improvement have expanded steadily, demonstrating both the stability and growth potential of government demand.

In the final year (FY2025, ended September 2025) of the "Sustainable Growth Plan 2025," the company achieved sales of ¥45,984 million (106.9% of the ¥43,000 million target) and operating profit of ¥2,683 million (122.0% of the ¥2,200 million target). Contract amendments increasing the value of large-scale projects and earlier-than-planned deliveries contributed to results that exceeded the plan.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026), operating profit rose 47.9% and net profit rose 53.4%, an extremely strong performance. However, full-year guidance calls for a significant profit decline, with net sales of ¥44,800 million (down 2.6% year on year), operating profit of ¥2,300 million (down 14.3% year on year), and net profit of ¥1,236 million (down 21.0% year on year). Given the interim progress rate (55.3% of sales), the structure appears to involve a concentration of upfront investment costs and seasonal skew in sales toward the second half, and whether the full-year guidance will be achieved warrants careful monitoring.

At the end of the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026), short-term borrowings increased substantially to ¥10,800 million (versus ¥3,200 million at the previous fiscal year-end), and bonds payable also rose to ¥3,000 million (versus ¥1,000 million at the previous fiscal year-end). Total assets expanded to ¥52,357 million (versus ¥41,145 million at the previous fiscal year-end), while the equity ratio declined to 43.9% (versus 50.7% at the previous fiscal year-end). Notes and accounts receivable for completed work and contract assets surged to ¥26,748 million (versus ¥18,341 million at the previous fiscal year-end); working capital demand associated with the seasonality of sales recognition appears to be the main driver of the increase in borrowings, but the trend in cash flow management continues to warrant close attention.

The order backlog at the end of the interim period stood at ¥26,083 million (up 10.5% year on year), providing a solid sales foundation for the second half and beyond. However, given that the majority of orders come from government demand, the structural risk that performance is heavily influenced by public works budget trends, the bidding environment, and policy changes remains unchanged. In addition, due to the seasonality of sales being weighted toward the second quarter and beyond, the strong interim performance does not directly indicate full-year performance, and investors should be mindful of the potential gap versus full-year guidance.

Growth Strategy

Under the "Sustainable Growth Plan 2028," the company aims for sustainable growth through four pillars: national infrastructure resilience, renewable energy, regional revitalization, and overseas expansion.

Centered on infrastructure aging countermeasures for bridges, tunnels, etc., flood control and river improvement, and urban infrastructure reconstruction aimed at strengthening regional disaster resilience, the company continues to capture government public works budgets. Order intake for the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026) grew steadily, up 16.8% year on year.

The company is actively expanding consulting and survey operations in defense-related business (Geological & Soil Survey, structural design, and the transportation, environment, and construction fields) as well as in renewable energy fields such as offshore wind, geothermal, and biomass, aiming to capture new demand from both government and private sectors.

The company is promoting the sophistication of infrastructure services through AI and ICT utilization, the practical application of its patented bridge inspection robot, and participation in operations related to the social implementation of autonomous driving. IT/DX investment and engineer headcount increases are being steadily implemented as forward-looking investments, with the resulting operational efficiency gains reflected in cost reductions in the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026).

While continuing stable operation of the small-scale hydroelectric power plant and water supply concession business on Mindanao Island in the Philippines, the company is promoting expansion into other Asian countries, including an energy management business in Indonesia. Domestically, it is expanding regional revitalization businesses such as Park-PFI and biomass power generation. Sales in the Service Provider Business for the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026) struggled, down 27.3% year on year, making the acceleration of monetization a key challenge.
