Quick View

Executive Summary

The April–June 2026 period continued the sharp expansion trend seen in the year-ago period, resulting in higher revenue and profits accompanied by a significant improvement in profit margins. Revenue was ¥3,955.8B (¥1,023.9B in the year-ago period, YoY +286.4%), Operating Income was ¥222.8B (¥18.5B in the year-ago period, YoY +1,107.0%), Ordinary Income was ¥197.4B (¥17.1B in the year-ago period, YoY +1,055.1%), and Net Income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥145.2B (¥12.7B in the year-ago period, YoY +1,043.3%). Due to profit growth substantially exceeding revenue growth, the Operating Income margin improved by +3.8pt YoY to 5.6%. The decline in the SG&A expense ratio accompanying the expansion in scale (0.4%) and the improvement in the gross profit margin (6.0%, +3.2pt YoY) drove the improvement in profitability. ROE remained high at 20.6%, primarily due to improvements in the net profit margin and total asset turnover.

Factors Affecting Business Performance

【Revenue】Revenue of ¥3,955.8B consisted of substantial revenue growth in both the JAPAN and OVERSEAS segments. OVERSEAS generated ¥2,629.8B (YoY +250.3%, 60.6% of total revenue), while JAPAN generated ¥1,713.4B (YoY +349.0%, 39.4%), with overseas operations leading in revenue scale and domestic operations leading in growth rate.

【Profit and Loss】Operating Income of ¥222.8B (YoY +1,107.0%) reflected the improvement in the gross profit margin (6.0%, +3.2pt YoY) and control of the SG&A expense ratio (0.4%), resulting in profit growth exceeding revenue growth. Below operating income, interest expenses of ¥12.2B and foreign exchange losses of ¥10.9B were recorded. Accordingly, Ordinary Income was slightly below Operating Income at ¥197.4B (YoY +1,055.1%); these were recurring deduction items attributable to financial and foreign exchange factors. Net Income was ¥145.2B (YoY +1,043.3%), with the ¥52.2B in income taxes and other taxes (effective tax rate: 26.4%) being the primary cause of the gap from Ordinary Income. No temporary factors such as extraordinary gains or losses were identified. Revenue and profit both increased.

Segment Analysis

The JAPAN segment generated Revenue of ¥1,713.4B (YoY +349.0%) and Operating Income of ¥127.8B (YoY +1,854.4%), securing a high Operating Income margin of 7.5%, above the company-wide average. It accounted for 57.1% of total company Operating Income (segment total: ¥223.7B) and was the principal contributor on the profit side. OVERSEAS generated Revenue of ¥2,629.8B (YoY +250.3%), representing 60.6% of total revenue and serving as the principal segment in terms of scale. However, its Operating Income was ¥95.8B (YoY +665.4%), with a margin of 3.6%, 4.0pt below JAPAN. Although both segments recorded substantial profit growth, JAPAN’s growth rate (profit YoY +1,854.4%) was particularly notable, suggesting that high-value-added projects and an improved business mix in Japan drove profit growth.

Key Financial Metrics

【Profitability】The Operating Income margin of 5.6%, Net Income margin of 3.7%, and gross profit margin of 6.0% all improved substantially from the year-ago period (approximately 1.8%, 1.2%, and 2.8%, respectively), reflecting economies of scale associated with revenue growth and an improved business mix. 【Cash Quality】Days sales outstanding (DSO) were approximately 147 days, days inventory outstanding (DIO) were approximately 221 days, and the cash conversion cycle (CCC) was approximately 205 days, indicating a business structure in which working capital requires a certain number of days to convert into cash amid rapid business expansion. 【Investment Efficiency】ROE of 20.6% can be explained by a DuPont decomposition of a 3.7% Net Income margin, 0.97x total asset turnover, and 5.79x financial leverage. Leverage was approximately unchanged from the previous year, while improvements in the Net Income margin and turnover were the primary drivers of the increase in ROE. 【Financial Soundness】The Equity Ratio of 17.3% (17.2% in the previous year) was nearly unchanged. While a current ratio of 120.7%, quick ratio of 53.7%, and interest coverage ratio of 18.3x indicate adequate capacity to absorb interest burdens from an earnings perspective, interest-bearing debt consisted solely of short-term borrowings of ¥1,410.8B, indicating a high dependence on short-term funding.

Cash Flow Analysis

Because a statement of cash flows has not been disclosed, funding trends are analyzed based on changes in the balance sheet. Cash and deposits increased by ¥22.8B (+29.2%) YoY to ¥101.1B, while accounts receivable increased by ¥563.0B (+54.8%) to ¥1,590.2B and inventories increased by ¥39.1B (+1.8%) to ¥2,254.3B as working capital accumulated in line with the sharp expansion in revenue. To fund this increase, accounts payable rose by ¥606.4B (+57.3%) to ¥1,664.2B and short-term borrowings increased by ¥225.1B (+19.0%) to ¥1,410.8B, indicating a structure in which working capital requirements during the business expansion phase were financed through short-term trade payables and borrowings. Meanwhile, advances received declined by ¥330.8B (-66.1%) from ¥500.4B in the previous year to ¥169.6B, suggesting that changes in the timing of order receipt and revenue recognition may have affected cash management. Retained earnings increased by ¥108.5B (+21.8%) to ¥607.6B, as the recognition of Net Income increased internal reserves and contributed to strengthening shareholders’ equity.

Quality of Earnings

Profit for the current period was driven by Operating Income, representing a recurring earnings structure. Non-operating income of ¥0.8B and non-operating expenses of ¥26.2B remained below 1% of revenue. Non-operating expenses primarily comprised interest expenses of ¥12.2B and foreign exchange losses of ¥10.9B, both recurring deduction items attributable to financial and foreign exchange factors. No temporary factors such as extraordinary gains or losses were identified. Net Income of ¥145.2B was 26.4% below Ordinary Income of ¥197.4B, due to income taxes and other taxes of ¥52.2B (effective tax rate: 26.4%); no factors other than the tax burden were identified. Comprehensive Income was ¥149.5B, slightly above Net Income of ¥145.2B. The ¥4.3B difference represented the net amount of foreign currency translation adjustments (+¥7.2B) and deferred hedge gains/losses (-¥2.9B), reflecting the high proportion of overseas operations. From an accrual perspective, the growth in accounts receivable and inventories and the length of the CCC at approximately 205 days indicate a time lag between profit recognition and cash collection, which should be considered when assessing future cash-generation capacity.

Earnings Forecast and Guidance

The Q1 progress rates against the full-year earnings forecasts (Revenue: ¥14,000.0B, Operating Income: ¥489.0B, Ordinary Income: ¥408.0B, Net Income: ¥300.0B) were 28.3% for Revenue, 45.6% for Operating Income, 48.4% for Ordinary Income, and 48.4% for Net Income. Compared with the benchmark of 25% for even quarterly progress, Revenue was approximately on a standard trajectory, while each profit measure was more than 20pt ahead of schedule. This indicates that improvements in the gross profit margin and Operating Income margin have been realized ahead of the full-year plan. In addition, revisions to the earnings forecast and dividend forecast (increases) were announced during the quarter, and it should be noted that progress reflects an upward revision from the initial plan.

Shareholder Returns

Regarding dividends, a note states that revisions to the earnings forecast and dividend forecast (increases) were announced during the quarter. The specific revised dividend amount is not reflected in the numerical figures in this report. Given the high level of profitability represented by actual Q1 Net Income of ¥145.2B and ROE of 20.6%, the company appears to have secured sufficient funds for dividends. However, the company has a financial structure highly dependent on short-term liabilities, with cash and deposits of ¥101.1B compared with short-term borrowings of ¥1,410.8B. Accordingly, its dividend policy should be evaluated together with working capital trends.

Risk Factors

1. Financial leverage and short-term funding structure: Interest-bearing debt consists solely of short-term borrowings of ¥1,410.8B, and Debt/Capital reached approximately 66.7% against shareholders’ equity of ¥705.1B. Although the interest coverage ratio of 18.3x indicates adequate resilience from an earnings perspective, the concentration of interest-bearing debt in short-term borrowings results in relatively high sensitivity to changes in the funding environment.

2. Working capital efficiency: Accounts receivable accumulated to ¥1,590.2B (+54.8%) and inventories to ¥2,254.3B amid the sharp expansion in revenue. With DSO of approximately 147 days, DIO of approximately 221 days, and CCC of approximately 205 days, cash conversion requires a certain period. Combined with the ¥330.8B decline in advances received (-66.1%), working capital funding requirements are being financed through increases in accounts payable and short-term borrowings.

3. Concentration of overseas revenue and foreign exchange impact: The OVERSEAS segment accounts for 60.6% of total revenue, indicating a high dependence on overseas operations. During the current period, foreign exchange losses of ¥10.9B were recorded as non-operating expenses. The high overseas exposure was also reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustment of +¥7.2B included in Comprehensive Income, indicating a structure in which foreign exchange fluctuations can readily affect business performance.

Key Takeaways from the Results

1. Profit progress ahead of schedule: Progress against the full-year forecast was 45.6% for Operating Income and 48.4% for Net Income, substantially exceeding Revenue progress of 28.3%. The fact that improvements in the gross profit margin and Operating Income margin were realized ahead of plan provides evidence of a change in the earnings structure.

2. Margin disparity between segments: JAPAN’s Operating Income margin of 7.5% exceeded OVERSEAS’s 3.6% by 4.0pt, while OVERSEAS was the principal segment in terms of revenue, with a 60.6% revenue mix. The divergence between the segments leading in revenue scale and those leading in profitability is an important point for understanding the earnings structure.

3. Changes in the working capital structure: Advances received declined by ¥330.8B (-66.1%), while accounts receivable and inventories accumulated and were financed through increases in short-term borrowings and accounts payable. As a change in the supply and demand of funds during a period of revenue growth, future trends will help determine whether this is structural or temporary.

Notes:

• Because Net Income progress against the full-year forecast (48%) exceeds the standard level (25%), forecast EPS has been adjusted upward within a maximum range of +10% (because companies progressing ahead of schedule tend to outperform forecasts; the adjustment may be excessive for businesses with strong seasonality).
• Net assets as of the quarter-end are used (there is a timing difference from the full-year forecast).
