Business

Toyo Wharf & Warehouse Co., Ltd. is a long-established integrated logistics company founded in 1940 (its predecessor, Nichiman Warehouse, was established in 1929). Domestically, the company provides storage services across a diverse range of warehouse facilities, including ordinary warehouses, silos, cold storage warehouses, and hazardous materials warehouses, operates a Port Transportation Business handling bulk cargo and containers using large-scale cargo handling equipment, and conducts freight transport and distribution using cargo trucks. It holds major port bases in Kawasaki, Hakata, Kashima, Shibushi, Hitachinaka, and other locations, handling a wide range of cargo including agricultural products, grain, synthetic resins, and containers. In international logistics, the company conducts transportation, warehousing, and customs clearance operations for Russia and Central Asia through its subsidiary Toyo Trans Co., Ltd., and in August 2023 established a local subsidiary in the Republic of Kazakhstan to expand its Central Asian base. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The company makes long-term investments in fixed assets such as warehouses and port facilities (book value of ¥30,523 million as of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), 54.5% of total assets), generating revenue from storage fees, cargo handling fees, transportation fees, and facility leasing fees. Capital expenditure is funded through long-term fixed-rate borrowings to stabilize financial income and expenses. Through outsourcing and collaboration with group companies, the company achieves multi-location and multi-item handling capabilities. In the International Logistics Business, it provides integrated transportation, warehousing, and customs clearance services through local subsidiaries.

Company Strengths

The company owns a variety of facilities—general warehouses, silos, fruit and vegetable warehouses, refrigerated warehouses, hazardous materials warehouses, etc.—at major ports including Kawasaki, Hakata, Kashima, Shibushi, and Hitachinaka. The Kawasaki branch has a private berth (proprietary quay), enabling the company to build highly distinctive logistics infrastructure that is difficult for competitors to replicate in a short period.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), bulk cargo handling volume reached 5.11 million tons (up 3.9% year on year), while container handling volume reached 205,754 TEU (up 8.5% year on year), with increases in both. The company has accumulated a track record of integrated sea-land cargo handling operations using large-scale cargo handling machinery, and its capability to handle a wide range of items such as grain, agricultural products, and synthetic resins contributes to maintaining and expanding its customer base.

In August 2023, the company established a local subsidiary in the Republic of Kazakhstan (Toyo Trans Central Asia LLC), and expanded its warehouse in April 2026. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), operating revenue from the International Logistics Business grew rapidly to ¥5,616 million (up 33.4% year on year), as the company's early development of transport routes to Central Asia has begun contributing to revenue.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For FY2026 (ending March 2026), operating revenue reached ¥38,079 million (up 8.5% year on year), operating income was ¥1,501 million (up 29.9%), ordinary income was ¥1,943 million (up 40.3%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥1,466 million (up 30.4%), achieving substantial growth at every profit level. The rapid expansion of transportation to Central Asia in the International Logistics Business (operating revenue up 33.4%, operating income up 228.3%) along with increases in dividends received and equity in earnings of affiliates pushed up ordinary income. The year-end dividend was raised from the originally planned ¥40 to ¥50, strengthening shareholder returns with an annual dividend of ¥80 (up ¥20 year on year).

The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) projects operating revenue of ¥38,000 million (down 0.2% year on year), operating income of ¥1,400 million (down 6.7%), ordinary income of ¥1,600 million (down 17.7%), and net income of ¥1,400 million (down 4.5%), reflecting a conservative outlook. Uncertainty over U.S. trade policy, the prolonged situation in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war, the risk of a Strait of Hormuz blockade, and cost increases from rising wages are explicitly cited as downside factors, with market conditions and geopolitical risk as key external variables affecting performance.

Litigation for damages arising from the April 2019 fire on the conveyor belt at the Kawasaki branch (with claims totaling over ¥51,600 million from Keihin Biomass Power Co., Ltd. and Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.) is ongoing. As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company disclosed that it remains difficult to reasonably estimate the impact on the consolidated financial statements, and depending on how the litigation proceeds, there is a possibility of a material impact on its finances. Investors need to continue monitoring this contingent liability risk.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for operating revenue of ¥50 billion by the company's 100th anniversary in 2028, driven by new facility operations, expansion into Central Asia, and digital transformation initiatives

Rental income from logistics-related facilities increased due to the full-scale operation of new facilities. Operating revenue from Other Businesses in FY2026 (ending March 2026) increased +6.8% year on year, with the contribution becoming evident. The company continues to promote facility expansion through acquisition of fixed assets (¥3,727 million in the current period).

Expanding transport to Central Asia centered on the opening of a logistics center and warehouse expansion in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), operating revenue from the International Logistics Business was ¥5,402 million (+33.4% year on year) and operating profit was ¥157 million (+228.3% year on year), achieving rapid growth.

Aiming to improve business efficiency through the full-scale operation of the new core system and promotion of digitalization. The goal is to improve profit margins through cost reduction and productivity gains. This is also positioned as an ongoing initiative in the earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027).

Promoting carbon neutrality measures aimed at enhancing social responsibility and strengthening competitiveness. The company aims to maintain and expand its long-term customer base by strengthening its ability to respond to sustainability requests from shipper companies.
