Business

Kyoritsu Maintenance Co., Ltd. was established in 1979. Starting from the management and operation of Student Dormitories and Employee Dormitories, the company has expanded into a diversified range of services, including the Hotel Business featuring the Dormy Inn and resort hotel brands, building management, the Foods Business covering Contract Catering and restaurants, the Development Business encompassing real estate development and securitization, and contracted services for senior life and local government operations. Its main customers span a wide range, including single-person residents such as students and working adults, domestic and international travelers, and corporate clients (companies, universities, and local governments). The company is a comprehensive lifestyle services group that supports people's life stages centered on "food," "housing," and "wellness (healing)." With 17 consolidated subsidiaries and 3 affiliated companies, it is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The company acquires facilities such as dormitories and hotels through in-house development or leasing, and secures stable earnings by handling management and operation on an integrated basis. In the Dormitory Business, high occupancy rates driven by long-term tenancy contracts (97.4% at the start of the period) underpin the earnings base, while in the Hotel Business, revenue management is used to raise room rates and increase the proportion of direct bookings, thereby improving profit margins. The company employs an asset-efficiency-focused model in which it sells self-owned properties to investors under management and lease-back arrangements, continuing development investment while restraining reliance on interest-bearing debt.

Company Strengths

As of the end of March 2026, the Dormitory Business operated 536 facilities with capacity for 46,147 residents and 44,995 contracted residents, maintaining an occupancy rate of 97.4% at the start of the period. Across its four products—Student Dormitory, Employee Dormitory, Domire, and Contracted Dormitory—the business recorded net sales of ¥57,924 million and secured operating profit of ¥6,194 million even amid rising costs. The high occupancy rate underpinned by long-term residency contracts generates stable earnings less susceptible to economic fluctuations.

As of the end of March 2026, the Hotel Business operated 143 facilities with 22,294 guest rooms, achieving net sales of ¥149,256 million and operating profit of ¥21,053 million (operating margin of 14.1%). Through the introduction of the membership program "Dormy's," the proprietary points program "Dormipo," and the smart check-in system "Express Check-in," the company is independently driving improvements in the direct booking ratio and cost efficiency.

Centered on the facility operations of the Dormitory and Hotel businesses, the company has built a vertically integrated model that completes Building Management, Foods, and Development functions within the group. The Foods Business recorded net sales of ¥14,006 million and operating profit of ¥590 million (up 141.7% year on year) driven by an increase in contracted hotel restaurant operations, while the Development Business recorded net sales of ¥43,114 million and operating profit of ¥3,048 million (up 353.1% year on year) driven by an increase in in-group development projects, with intra-group demand supporting overall performance.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales were ¥275,247 million (up 20.2% year on year), operating income was ¥24,845 million (up 21.2%), and net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥18,709 million (up 28.5%), marking a record profit high for the third consecutive fiscal year. On the other hand, the forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net sales of ¥277,000 million (up 0.6% year on year) and operating income of ¥26,000 million (up 4.6%), while net income is forecast to decline to ¥18,000 million (down 3.8%). The company explains that excluding special factors in FY2026 (ending March 2026)—large-scale real estate securitization, impairment losses, and a decrease in tax expense from the reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets—net income would have increased 4.2%, and it is necessary to confirm whether underlying growth continues on a like-for-like basis.

Convertible bond-type bonds with share subscription rights of ¥30,022 million, which had been recorded in current liabilities in the previous fiscal year, were converted into shares during the current fiscal year (new share issuance of ¥30,000 million), causing total current liabilities to decrease substantially from ¥108,093 million to ¥78,960 million. The equity ratio improved by 13.0 percentage points, from 33.0% to 46.0%, reflecting stronger financial soundness. On the other hand, the number of shares issued increased from 78,439,636 shares to 91,243,720 shares, and the dilutive impact on per-share metrics warrants continued attention.

Operating cash flow for FY2026 (ending March 2026) improved substantially to ¥50,921 million (up ¥21,472 million year on year), mainly due to a decrease in inventories (a reduction in real estate for sale through real estate securitization) of ¥25,125 million. On the other hand, investing cash flow was an outflow of ¥44,478 million, driven mainly by expenditures of ¥43,059 million for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, and free cash flow turned positive at ¥6,443 million. However, aggressive capital expenditure based on the medium-term management plan (new openings of dormitories and hotels) is set to continue, and the balance between the sustainability of the investment level and capital efficiency (ROE of 15.3%) remains a point of continued attention.

Growth Strategy

Aim to achieve the medium-term management plan through continuous expansion of new dormitory and hotel openings and utilization of real estate securitization

Continuing to open more than 10 facilities per period, expanding beyond the Greater Tokyo and Kansai areas into unserved areas such as Okayama, Takamatsu, and Tokushima. In FY2027 (ending March 2027), 13 facilities and 2,401 rooms were opened, starting with an occupancy rate of 98.5% at the beginning of the period. The sales structure was also strengthened, including the establishment of a Chushikoku branch, with the aim of expanding to a capacity of 50,000 rooms.

In FY2027 (ending March 2027), 6 new Dormy Inn facilities and 2 new Resort facilities are planned to open, continuing to expand room capacity. Profitability will be further enhanced through the renewal and functional enhancement of the 'Dormy's' membership program app to increase the direct booking ratio and reduce OTA commissions, as well as through improved labor productivity via the expansion of the smart check-in system.

While bringing dormitory and hotel development within the Group in-house, the company continues to carry out real estate securitization of held assets. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), ¥23,488 million in tangible fixed assets was transferred to real estate for sale and securitized, significantly contributing to revenue and profit. The company will continue to strengthen its management structure for rising costs and promote development and store opening support.

The Senior Life Business is positioned as a business to be cultivated, developing new concept products that leverage the operational know-how of the Dormitory Business. The aim is to build living environments that meet diverse needs, including those of the elderly. The operating loss for the Other Business as a whole was ¥181 million (an improvement from a loss of ¥426 million in the previous period), showing a trend toward reduction.

The company is promoting improvements in customer convenience and labor productivity, including expanded adoption of the smart check-in system and enhanced functionality of the membership program. It is also pursuing sustainability strategy, human capital strategy, and DX strategy, aiming to build a solid management foundation capable of responding to changes in the social environment.
