Business

The Yasuda Warehouse Group consists of the Company and 26 subsidiaries, operating primarily in the Logistics Business and Real Estate Business. In the Logistics Business, the group provides integrated services ranging from Warehousing & Cargo Handling Services to Domestic Land Transportation Services and International Freight Handling Services, with a domestic network spanning from Hokkaido to Kyushu and total storage area of 547,549㎡. Overseas, the group operates local subsidiaries in five Asian countries: China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and India. In the Real Estate Business, the group owns and leases office buildings and mixed-use buildings mainly in Tokyo and Yokohama, generating stable cash flow. Founded in 1919, the company is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

In the Logistics Business, the company earns combined revenue from storage fees, handling fees, land transportation fees, and international freight handling fees, expanding profits through higher utilization of its own facilities and new customer acquisition. In the Real Estate Business, the company leases well-located buildings in Tokyo and Yokohama on a long-term basis, generating stable rental income. The combination of these two businesses forms an earnings structure that is resilient to economic fluctuations.

Company Strengths

The company holds 547,549㎡ of domestic warehousing space (438,875㎡ owned) from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and operates local subsidiaries in five Asian countries (China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and India). In FY2026 (ending March 2026), international freight handling volume reached 1,007,864 tons, up 10.3% year on year, demonstrating that the global network is functioning effectively in practice.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Logistics Business recorded operating revenue of ¥74,186 million (segment profit of ¥5,342 million), while the Real Estate Business recorded operating revenue of ¥6,480 million (segment profit of ¥2,026 million). The Real Estate Business's profit margin is high at approximately 31%, forming a dual structure that offsets fluctuations in the Logistics Business's earnings, which are more susceptible to economic cycles.

The company holds several specialized subsidiaries in highly specialized logistics fields, including Yasuda Medical Logistics Co., Ltd. and Yasuda Logi Pharma Co., Ltd. for pharmaceutical logistics, and Fuyo Air Cargo Co., Ltd. for international air freight handling. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), inbound cargo volume expanded significantly, up 18.6% year on year to 923,751 tons.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥6,728 million in FY2026 (ending March 2025) was significantly boosted by total extraordinary gains of ¥4,131 million, comprising gain on sale of fixed assets of ¥1,715 million and gain on sale of investment securities of ¥2,416 million. The company's forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2026) calls for net income of ¥6,200 million (down 7.9% year on year), a decline, making it important to assess the sustainability of core-business earnings power excluding extraordinary gains.

The company forecasts FY2027 (ending March 2026) operating revenue of ¥82,000 million (up 2.5% year on year), an increase, while operating profit is forecast to decline to ¥4,100 million (down 4.4% year on year) and ordinary profit to ¥5,200 million (down 10.7% year on year) due to increased expenses associated with logistics facility expansion and strengthening of management infrastructure, resulting in a decline in core-business profit. External risks that could further weigh on earnings remain, including the impact of US trade policy, fluctuations in energy prices, and rising labor costs.

ROE for FY2026 (ending March 2025) improved significantly to 6.7% (from 3.0% in the previous fiscal year), but scrutiny is needed as to whether, on a core-earnings basis excluding extraordinary gains, the company still achieves the mid-term plan's target ROE of 5.5% or higher. Meanwhile, the dividend was substantially increased to ¥70.0 per share (from ¥35.0 in the previous fiscal year), with a forecast of ¥74.0 for FY2027 (ending March 2026), continuing the progressive dividend policy. The policy of a consolidated dividend payout ratio floor of 30% and a total return ratio target of around 45% can be viewed positively from a shareholder return perspective.

Growth Strategy

Under the medium-term management plan "YASUDA GROUP CHALLENGE 2027," the company is advancing network expansion, DX, and enhancement of real estate value.

Continuously establishing new domestic and overseas logistics facilities and raising their utilization rates to increase revenue from storage fees, handling fees, and land transportation fees. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), higher utilization of facilities newly established in the prior period contributed to a 16.9% year-on-year increase in Logistics Business segment profit, reaching ¥5,342 million. Investment in facility expansion is planned to continue in FY2027 (ending March 2027) (capital expenditures on tangible fixed assets of ¥7,512 million).

Promoting operational efficiency and new business acquisition through DX utilizing cutting-edge technology and digital technologies. This is positioned as a basic policy of the medium-term management plan, with continued investment in software (ending balance of ¥874 million). While specific quantitative effects have not been disclosed, it is functioning as one factor contributing to business expansion.

Acquired 20% of the shares of Teijin Logistics Co., Ltd. (¥1,300 million) effective April 10, 2026, making it an equity-method affiliate. This provides access to warehouse and transportation bases centered on Western Japan and know-how in synthetic fiber and chemical products logistics, enabling entry into new business areas and network expansion. Full share acquisition and consolidation as a subsidiary is planned in the future.

Promoting value enhancement measures through continued full-scale operation of the Yokohama Station West Exit mixed-use building and redevelopment and maintenance of owned real estate. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), real estate rental income was ¥4,689 million (up 4.0% year on year), and the fair value of rental real estate at fiscal year-end reached ¥64,677 million. The trend of rising urban rents (an external factor) also provides a tailwind.
