Business

LUCKLAND CO., LTD. was founded in 1970 and grew from refrigeration and kitchen equipment construction work for supermarkets into a comprehensive commercial space production company. It currently operates a group structure of 26 companies at home and abroad, spanning six business fields: store facilities, commercial facilities, food factories, distribution warehouses, construction, and others. Its main customers include the restaurant industry, retail industry, hospitality industry, real estate developers, and railway-affiliated companies, and it provides one-stop support from research through planning and development, design, engineering, construction, supervision, and maintenance. Domestically, it has established a branch network covering Eastern Japan, Chubu, Western Japan, and other regions, while overseas it operates subsidiaries in six ASEAN countries and Taiwan. The company is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

Main revenue comes from contracted work for planning, design, and construction of stores and commercial facilities, with the Production Business accounting for approximately 95% of net sales of ¥56,574 million. Even after construction completion, the company maintains customer contact through the Maintenance Business (net sales of ¥2,789 million), adopting a cyclical model that leads to orders for subsequent projects. In the energy-saving and CO2 reduction business, the company proposes rental options to reduce initial costs, while also guiding customers toward its other production businesses. The cost of sales ratio of 82.8% (an improvement of 4.7 points year on year) and securing appropriate order pricing are key to improving profitability.

Company Strengths

Starting from a supermarket refrigeration equipment installation order received in 1973, the company has accumulated refrigeration/cold storage technology and food safety expertise for food factories and cold storage warehouses. It holds specialized capabilities that are difficult for competitors to enter, such as HACCP compliance and support for obtaining food safety standards certifications, and has also expanded into resident-type facility maintenance services for food factories.

The company has built a system providing research, planning and development, design, construction, supervision, and maintenance in an integrated manner. It has 25 specialized subsidiaries under its umbrella covering electrical work, water supply/drainage, air conditioning, fire prevention, lighting, metal products, and other areas, and leveraging its combined interior and facility technical capabilities, it has won large-scale renovation projects for commercial facilities (net sales of ¥13,630 million in FY2025 (ending December 2025), up 69.9% year on year).

In FY2025 (ending December 2025), net sales reached ¥56,574 million (up 18.7% year on year), operating profit reached ¥4,033 million (up 1,627.3% year on year), and the operating profit margin reached 7.1%. The cost of sales ratio declined 4.7 percentage points year on year to 82.8%, as securing appropriate order pricing and reducing SG&A expenses (down 0.5% year on year) progressed simultaneously. ROE recovered sharply to 18.6% (from -5.0% in the previous period).

ENVALITH's Perspective

In 1Q FY2026, the company secured operating profit of ¥683 million (up 1.6% year on year) despite net sales of ¥10,692 million (down 9.0% year on year), and gross profit remained nearly flat at ¥1,965 million. Meanwhile, quarterly net profit attributable to owners of the parent came in at only ¥389 million (down 17.6% year on year). The main causes were the absence of extraordinary gains recorded in 1Q of the previous year (gain on sale of fixed assets of ¥50 million and gain on sale of investment securities of ¥71 million) and an increase in income tax adjustment (from ¥119 million in the previous year to ¥265 million this year). It should be noted that, on an ordinary profit basis, the underlying performance actually improved, up 16.4% year on year.

In 1Q FY2026, the Construction Business expanded sharply, up 37.3% year on year to ¥1,801 million, while the core businesses—Store Facility Production Business (down 15.7% year on year), Commercial Facility Production Business (down 10.5%), and Food Factory & Distribution Warehouse Production Business (down 54.0%)—all posted revenue declines. Because construction projects span long periods and are susceptible to schedule changes by general contractors and others, the timing of revenue recognition for the Construction Business tends to fluctuate significantly. The recovery trend in the core businesses and the quality and volume of the order backlog in the Construction Business are important points to watch, as they will determine the stability of future performance.

The full-year forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) remains unchanged, with net sales of ¥58,000 million (up 2.5% year on year) and operating profit of ¥4,176 million (up 3.5% year on year). However, 1Q net sales of ¥10,692 million represent only 18.4% of the full-year forecast, and 1Q operating profit of ¥683 million represents only 16.4%, indicating a pronounced skew toward the second half. External factors such as uncertainty over US trade policy, elevated material prices, and rising labor costs continue to persist, making the securing of construction capacity and order/schedule management in the second half key to achieving the full-year targets. The impact of the deconsolidation of Ace Center Co., Ltd. also warrants close attention.

Growth Strategy

With DX as the core, the company circulates three themes—business, human capital, and finance—aiming for FY2028 (ending December 2028) sales of ¥62,000 million and an operating margin of 7.4%

Expanding the business domain from store production to entire buildings, capturing large-scale projects such as hotel renovations, seismic retrofitting, and conversions. Driven by the recovery in inbound demand, sales grew 37.3% year-on-year to ¥1,801 million in Q1 FY2026, functioning as a growth driver.

Thoroughly managing profitability amid an environment of persistently high material costs and rising labor costs, aiming to maintain and improve the gross profit margin. Following the V-shaped recovery in FY2025 (ended December 2025), the gross profit margin was maintained at 18.4% in Q1 FY2026, confirming that the improvement in profit structure has taken hold.

In addition to the plan for directors (26,900 shares; total issuance amount of approximately ¥38 million) approved at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in March 2026, a new plan for 190 employees (160,500 shares; total issuance amount of approximately ¥220 million) was introduced in May 2026. In the construction industry, where labor shortages are becoming increasingly severe, this aims to retain and secure talent and provide incentives to enhance corporate value.

Responding to increasing needs for HACCP institutionalization and food safety standard acquisition, as well as growing investment in refrigeration and freezing equipment driven by expanding demand for frozen food and the logistics 2024 problem, the company provides specialized services leveraging technical expertise accumulated since its founding. Q1 FY2026 was sluggish, down 54.0% year-on-year, but inquiries continue to be generated.
