Business

Eurasia Travel Co., Ltd. is an overseas travel specialist founded in 1986. Its core business is the planning and sale of proprietary original tours themed around nature, culture, art, and people, covering more than 170 countries worldwide. Its primary customer base consists of mature travelers with a strong desire for intellectual satisfaction and spiritual fulfillment, and the company is characterized by its high-quality tour operations that emphasize sightseeing time while eliminating stops at duty-free shops. Its subsidiary, Eurasia Service Co., Ltd., is responsible for training and dispatching dedicated tour conductors, providing escort services with deep expertise in the company's unique destination regions and itineraries. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The business structure of collecting travel fares in advance as advance receipts enables 100% self-funded management with no external borrowing. Operating profit is generated by managing SG&A expenses such as advertising and personnel costs against gross profit after deducting procurement costs (mainly airfare and ground costs). Against operating revenue of ¥4,787 million in FY2025 (ending September 2025), total procurement costs were ¥3,885 million, and operating profit was ¥115 million. The company maintains a policy of preserving funds equivalent to advance receipts as cash equivalents.

Company Strengths

Since its founding in 1986, the company has continuously planned and sold original tours covering more than 170 countries worldwide, accumulating specialized expertise. Its subsidiary, Eurasia Service, trains and dispatches dedicated tour conductors, maintaining service quality backed by deep knowledge of its proprietary destinations and itineraries. As an IATA-accredited passenger sales agent, it has maintained its own ticketing system since 1995.

Due to a business structure premised on receiving advance payments for travel fares, the company has continued debt-free management with zero outstanding borrowings. As of the end of FY2025 (ending September 2025), the equity ratio stood at 57.3%, total net assets were ¥1,844 million, and cash and cash equivalents were ¥1,991 million. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company sustained business continuity using internal reserves.

From the trough in FY2021, when revenue was ¥224 million and operating loss was ¥506 million, the company achieved a turnaround to operating profit in FY2024 (operating income of ¥107 million). In FY2025, operating revenue reached ¥4,787 million (up 4.1% year on year) and operating income reached ¥115 million (up 7.7% year on year), continuing the trend of increased revenue and profit, thereby demonstrating its post-COVID recovery in concrete figures.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For the cumulative first half of FY2026 (ending September 2026), operating revenue reached ¥2,502 million (up 11.2% year on year), securing revenue growth. However, this was offset by a special burden from tour cancellations and customer repatriation costs following the Iran attack in February 2026, combined with rising procurement costs due to the yen's depreciation trend since the start of the fiscal year. As a result, the company recorded an operating loss of ¥21 million, an ordinary loss of ¥26 million, and an interim net loss of ¥27 million, reversing from a profit in the same period last year. The simultaneous manifestation of geopolitical risk and foreign exchange volatility as external factors underscores the company's structural vulnerability once again.

The company has left its full-year earnings forecast unchanged (operating revenue of ¥5,382 million, up 12.4% year on year; operating profit of ¥93 million, up 18.5% year on year). However, having recorded an operating loss of ¥21 million at the interim stage, achieving the full-year target would require generating operating profit of at least ¥114 million in the second half (April 2026 to September 2026). Even factoring in the seasonality of the Travel Business (where the busy season tends to be concentrated in the second half), whether the target can be achieved amid continuing geopolitical risk and a weak yen environment warrants ongoing close attention.

Cash flow from operating activities for the interim period improved to a positive ¥102 million (compared to negative ¥15 million in the same period last year), aided by the collection of ¥98 million in prepaid travel expenses and ¥72 million in operating receivables. Meanwhile, dividend payments of ¥88 million (financing cash flow) caused net assets to decline by ¥113 million from the previous fiscal year-end to ¥1,730 million. Under the continued dividend policy targeting a DOE of 10% or higher, the company implemented a substantial dividend increase even in an interim period when it recorded a loss, and the resulting drawdown of retained earnings warrants attention from the perspective of medium- to long-term financial capacity.

Growth Strategy

Leveraging the 40th anniversary of its founding, the company aims to enter its next growth stage through product lineup expansion, human resource reinforcement, and enhanced shareholder returns

The company enriched its travel product offerings in commemoration of its 40th anniversary, achieving a 12% increase in participant numbers and a 5% increase in average travel unit price in the first quarter. Advertising expenses were increased to accelerate new customer acquisition. Although some tours were cancelled due to the impact of the attack on Iran, the company achieved an 11.2% year-on-year increase in revenue on a cumulative basis for the first half.

The company is reinforcing hiring, which forms the foundation of Travel Business revenue. The number of new hires in April 2026 exceeded the same period of the previous year, and the recruitment plan is progressing smoothly. Base salary increases have also been implemented to secure and retain talented personnel.

The company has set a target of DOE (Dividend on Equity) of 10% or more, distributing 10% or more of consolidated shareholders' equity as of the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year as dividends. The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥50 per share (a substantial increase from the previous fiscal year's actual result of ¥31). Since the announcement on July 31, 2025, the share price has trended upward, reflecting improved investor evaluation.

The company is promoting its capital expenditure plan based on the medium-term management plan. In the first half, expenditures for new acquisitions of tangible and intangible fixed assets were zero, and investment timing may be concentrated in the second half and beyond.
