The group consists of the company and six subsidiaries, with a structure that divides functions among construction, software, and services. Listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Business Model
A contract-based business model that receives orders for interior and exhibition construction work from customers and provides an integrated service covering survey, planning, design, construction, and supervision. The majority of revenue is recognized as construction revenue based on the percentage-of-completion method. In FY2026 (ending January 2026), the ratio of nominated (sole-source) orders stood at 60.4%, accounting for more than half of orders, and stable order intake based on long-term relationships of trust with customers underpins the revenue base. The gross profit margin has improved to 20.0% (FY2026, ending January 2026), reflecting the success of profitability-focused order-taking activities.
Company Strengths
Sales for FY2026 (ending January 2026) reached ¥107,222 million (up 16.7% year on year), and operating profit reached ¥8,358 million (up 62.4% year on year), both marking record highs. The main drivers were the completion of projects related to the Osaka-Kansai Expo and expanding inbound tourism demand. The operating profit margin stood at 7.8%, achieving the medium-term management plan target of 7.5% ahead of schedule.
The proportion of negotiated (non-competitive) orders in sales for FY2026 (ending January 2026) rose to 60.4% (up from 56.3% in the previous period), reflecting a stable order structure that does not rely on competitive bidding. Years of construction track record and trust built with clients form a barrier to entry, enabling the company to maintain a system that preferentially secures highly profitable projects.
ROE for FY2026 (ending January 2026) was 16.9%, exceeding the medium-term management plan target of 14.7%, while the payout ratio reached 56.7%, achieving the target of 50% or higher. The company has maintained sound financials with an equity ratio of 67.6%, achieving both profit growth and shareholder returns simultaneously. Cash and cash equivalents at period-end stood at ¥17,589 million, securing ample liquidity on hand.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
The company achieved four consecutive fiscal years of revenue growth and a sharp profit recovery from FY2022 (ending January 2022) through FY2026 (ending January 2026), with FY2026 (ending January 2026) marking a record high of ¥107,222 million in net sales and ¥8,358 million in operating profit. However, in Q1 of FY2027 (ending January 2027) (February–April 2026), results declined sharply, with net sales of ¥26,566 million (down 21.9% year on year) and operating profit of ¥2,334 million (down 48.7% year on year), reflecting the reversal from sales related to the Osaka-Kansai Expo recorded in the same quarter of the previous year. As an external factor, rising costs from inflation and higher personnel expenses squeezed profit margins. On the other hand, order volume remained firm at ¥26,926 million (down 0.7% year on year), and the company has maintained its full-year earnings forecast (net sales of ¥107,000 million, operating profit of ¥8,000 million). Financially, the company maintained a sound equity ratio of 69.5%.
Growth Strategy
Five initiatives for building foundations and pursuing new business areas based on the medium-term management plan (FY2025 through FY2027, ending January)
Based on the medium-term management plan (FY2025 through FY2027, ending January), the company continues to build foundations for growth and invest in new business areas. The company has stated that progress in Q1 of FY2027 (ending January 2027) is proceeding as planned, with customer investment appetite remaining solid and order-taking activity progressing smoothly.
In the Chain Store business, the segment profit margin remained at a high level of 10.7% in Q1 of FY2027 (ending January 2027). The Commercial and Other Facilities business continued order-taking activity even after the drop-off of special demand related to the Expo, securing a segment profit margin of 8.1%. The company continues to selectively pursue orders with an emphasis on profitability in order to defend margins amid rising cost pressures.
The Cultural Facilities business's carried-forward order backlog at the end of the previous fiscal year increased 17.0% year on year to ¥15,462 million, and earnings are expected to recover as construction progress normalizes. In Q1 of FY2027 (ending January 2027), the segment posted a profit of ¥180 million, continuing the trend of earnings recovery.
The company operates the Officer Compensation BIP Trust (for directors) and the Trust-Type Employee Stock Ownership Incentive Plan (E-Ship®, for employees) to provide incentives for enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term. As of the end of Q1 of FY2027 (ending January 2027), the total number of shares held in trust was 771,702 shares (227,302 shares in the BIP Trust plus 544,400 shares in the Employee Stock Ownership Trust).
The annual dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending January 2027) is ¥80 per share (¥36 at the end of Q2 plus ¥44 at year-end), an increase from ¥72 in the previous fiscal year. The year-end dividend breaks down into an ordinary dividend of ¥36 plus a commemorative dividend of ¥8. The company maintains its policy of increasing dividends even amid a phase of earnings adjustment, demonstrating its commitment to shareholder returns.
