Business

JBCC Holdings, founded in 1964, is a pure holding company that, through its 8 consolidated subsidiaries, operates as a comprehensive IT services group primarily serving domestic mid-sized and large enterprises (with annual sales of ¥50 billion to ¥200 billion). It provides end-to-end services ranging from consulting to planning, construction, implementation, operation, and maintenance, and has served over 20,000 clients since its founding. The business consists of two segments: Information Solutions (revenue of ¥73,879 million) and Product Development & Manufacturing (revenue of ¥2,140 million). The company is advancing its medium-term management plan "CHALLENGE 2026," with cloud, security, and rapid application development designated as priority business areas.

Business Model

Leveraging one-stop proposals covering the customer's entire IT environment as a core strength, the company develops cloud operations (EcoOne), managed security, and ultra-rapid development (JB Agile) as core services. In addition to flow-based business (SI orders), it is promoting expansion of stock-type revenue through operations, maintenance, and managed services. Comprehensive proposals combining multi-cloud and security have enabled larger-scale projects, improving the gross profit margin from 30.0% to 31.8%.

Company Strengths

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), cloud revenue grew 38.2% year on year and security revenue grew 32.2% year on year, both substantially exceeding average market growth. EcoOne, which offers integrated multi-cloud and security proposals, along with managed services such as EDR/XDR and SASE/CASB, have been well received by customers, leading to multiple large-scale order wins.

Revenue from ultra-rapid development grew 19.3% year on year, and the gross profit margin on SI (systems integration) revenue improved substantially from 30.9% to 37.4%. Large-scale core system rebuilding projects are progressing steadily, and orders for migrations from mainframes and similar legacy systems continue to be won. The proprietary development methodology, backed by more than 10 years of track record, makes short-term imitation by competitors difficult.

Since its founding in 1964, the company has built a customer base of more than 20,000 client companies and operates nationwide, centered on Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Built on long-term relationships with customers across a wide range of industries, the company has a structure that continuously generates additional proposal opportunities, such as cloud migration, security enhancement, and AI adoption.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The gross profit margin for FY2026 (ending March 2026) improved to 31.8% (30.0% in the previous period), with the SI segment's profit margin showing a particularly significant improvement from 30.9% to 37.4%. This reflects the combined effects of an expanding revenue mix toward high-value-added services such as cloud and security, and the planned reduction of the System segment (low-margin hardware sales). A structure in which profit grows faster than revenue is becoming established. Whether the company can achieve its FY2027 (ending March 2027) operating margin target of 11% (versus 9.6% actual in FY2026) will be the next point of focus.

In FY2027 (ending March 2027), the company plans a temporary decline in revenue and profit in the SI segment as it advances strategic investments such as AI-driven development (evolution of JB Agile), formation of a Customer Innovation Team, and development of an AI Orchestration Platform. Selling, general and administrative expenses already show an upward trend, reaching ¥16,883 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026) versus ¥14,816 million in the previous period, making it a challenge to balance cost management during the investment phase with achieving the profit margin target. External factors such as economic uncertainty stemming from tariffs, foreign exchange, and geopolitical risks also remain a concern.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company carried out share buybacks of ¥3,000 million and dividend payments of ¥2,406 million, strengthening shareholder returns with a payout ratio of 48.6% and a DOE (dividend on equity) of 10.5%. The company intends to maintain a payout ratio of 45% or higher in FY2027 (ending March 2027) as well. On the other hand, the order backlog declined significantly to ¥9,819 million (down 31.4% year on year), which appears to reflect progress in the consumption of large-scale projects, but continuous monitoring of new order trends is necessary from the perspective of the capacity to build up revenue in future periods.

Growth Strategy

Strengthening medium- to long-term earning power through deepening of cloud, security, and ultra-rapid development capabilities, together with investment in generative AI

Capturing growing demand for multi-cloud operation services centered on EcoOne and managed security services, while continuing to secure large-scale orders. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), cloud grew 38.2% year on year and security grew 32.2% year on year; strong growth is expected to continue in FY2027 (ending March 2027).

Strategic investment is being made to further advance JB Agile, which incorporates AI-driven development methods, and to develop the talent that will drive it. As the industry as a whole shifts toward agile-style development, the company is leveraging over 10 years of track record as a competitive advantage. The SI segment plans temporary declines in revenue and profit due to this strategic investment.

Building on the foundation of cloud and security, the company aims to establish an "AI Orchestration Platform" combining AI agents, data transformation, and analytics functions, targeting a recurring revenue model in which revenue continues to expand in line with the number of AI agents and the scope of their application. Formation and expansion of the Customer Innovation Team is also being promoted in parallel.

Against a backdrop of growing needs for governance strengthening in the kintone domain, growth in the software field, centered on "ATTAZoo Governance" (launched in April 2026) and "Qanat Universe," is expected to drive increased revenue and profit in the Product Development and Manufacturing business. The company aims to improve profitability by increasing the software ratio and reducing dependence on hardware such as printers.

The company flexibly implements capital policies such as share buybacks while maintaining a payout ratio of 45% or higher. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), it conducted share buybacks of ¥3,000 million and paid dividends of ¥2,665 million (annual dividend of ¥42, marking the fifth consecutive year of dividend increases). For FY2027 (ending March 2027), an annual dividend of ¥50 (payout ratio forecast at 50.2%) is planned.
