Analysis integrating XBRL data (GPT-5) and PDF earnings presentation (Claude)
Charm Care Corporation (TSE:6062) delivered a solid FY2026 Q1 with clear evidence of operating leverage and margin expansion despite limited cash flow disclosures. Revenue grew 11.7% year over year to ¥11.0bn, while operating income rose 26.5% to ¥1.10bn, implying roughly 1.2 percentage points of operating margin expansion to about 10.0%. Net income increased 19.1% to ¥0.75bn, lifting the net margin to 6.82%. Gross margin stood at 16.0%, indicating a service model with meaningful fixed cost absorption, while SG&A discipline was evident as selling, general and administrative expense implied about 6.0% of sales. Interest expense was modest at ¥16m, yielding a strong interest coverage ratio of approximately 69x, which supports financial flexibility. The DuPont decomposition provided shows a net margin of 6.82%, asset turnover of 0.214x, and financial leverage of 2.52x, producing a calculated ROE of 3.69% for the period. Balance sheet strength appears reasonable: total assets were ¥51.4bn and equity ¥20.4bn, implying a recalculated equity ratio of roughly 39.7% (the reported 0.0% equity ratio is clearly a placeholder). Current assets of ¥21.9bn versus current liabilities of ¥23.6bn result in a current ratio of 0.93x and negative working capital of ¥1.68bn, warranting monitoring of near-term liquidity. Cash flow data (operating, investing, financing) and depreciation were not disclosed in the XBRL, limiting visibility into earnings quality and free cash flow conversion. Nevertheless, the step-up in operating income relative to revenue points to improved occupancy/mix and/or cost control at care facilities. Ordinary income (¥1.11bn) closely tracked operating income, indicating minimal non-operating noise. The effective tax rate computed from disclosed figures is approximately 27%, contrasting with the placeholder 0.0% reported. EPS was ¥23.02; based on net income, this implies a weighted-average share count of roughly 32.7 million shares, although outstanding shares were not disclosed. Leverage measured as liabilities-to-equity is 1.56x, consistent with the asset-heavy nature of the business. Overall, Q1 results demonstrate healthy topline momentum and margin improvement, but the lack of cash flow and depreciation disclosure constrains assessment of cash generation and capital intensity in the quarter.
From Earnings Presentation:
チャーム・ケア・コーポレーションの2026年6月期第1四半期は、売上高11,024百万円(+11.7%)、営業利益1,104百万円(+26.5%)と、新しい既存ホーム(開設2年以上)と前期M&A取得ホームの成長により、インフレ・賃金上昇下でも生産性向上を通じて利益率を改善し、計画を上回る好決算となった。人員配置の最適化(3:0.9ホームの実証)と介護DX推進により、職員1人当たり成果は664千円/月(前期648千円/月)に向上。中期経営計画では「原点回帰」として介護事業へ集中し、2028年6月期に売上高55,265百万円、営業利益6,310百万円、ROE15%を目標とし、配当性向30%以上を継続。M&Aによるホーム数拡大と自社開発の増加、人材強化・DX化、エリア拡大(首都圏近郊・名古屋圏)を戦略の柱とする。不動産事業は2026年6月期1案件(調布市国領)をもって中止し、介護関連事業へシフト。短期流動性は運転資本▲1,677百万円とタイトだが、前受金構造に起因し、営業CF約160億円(3ヶ年計画)とM&A待機資金100億円以上を確保予定。GPT分析が指摘した高営業利益率(10%)とレバレッジ効果、短期流動性課題は整合し、経営陣は現場力強化とDX化を通じた持続的成長を志向している。
ROE decomposition using provided DuPont metrics: net profit margin 6.82% × asset turnover 0.214 × financial leverage 2.52 = ROE 3.69% for the quarter. Operating margin improved to about 10.0% (¥1,104m OI / ¥11,024m revenue), up from an estimated ~8.8% in the prior-year Q1, reflecting operating leverage as revenue grew 11.7% while operating income rose 26.5%. Gross margin was 16.0% (¥1,768m / ¥11,024m), suggesting a cost base with significant fixed components and improved utilization. SG&A was approximately ¥664m (gross profit minus operating income), or about 6.0% of revenue, indicating cost discipline. Ordinary income (¥1,108m) was nearly identical to operating income, demonstrating minimal non-operating drag; interest expense was small at ¥16m. Interest coverage was strong at about 69x (OI/interest), underscoring robust operating profitability versus financing costs. The asset turnover of 0.214x (revenue/assets) reflects the capital-intensive nature of elderly care facilities; on a quarterly basis this is expectedly modest. Financial leverage of 2.52x matches assets/equity (¥51.4bn/¥20.4bn), indicating a balanced but geared structure supportive of ROE. Margin quality appears improved, likely driven by higher occupancy, pricing/mix, and better cost absorption, though lack of depreciation disclosure prevents a clean EBITDA view. Overall, profitability is trending positively with clear operating leverage and limited non-operating distortions.
Revenue expanded 11.7% YoY to ¥11.0bn, indicating healthy demand and likely steady ramp-up of facilities. Operating income grew 26.5% to ¥1.10bn, outpacing sales and signaling improved scale efficiency and/or mix benefits. Net income rose 19.1% to ¥0.75bn, with net margin at 6.82%, evidencing good drop-through after financing costs and tax. The implied operating margin expansion of roughly 1.17 percentage points (from ~8.8% to ~10.0%) supports the view of sustainable operating leverage as capacity utilization improves. Ordinary income tracking operating income suggests growth is driven by core operations rather than one-offs. Asset turnover of 0.214x is consistent with an asset-heavy model where growth comes from higher occupancy of existing beds and measured new openings. Sustainability hinges on maintaining occupancy, controlling labor costs, and disciplined expansion; the quarter’s results are consistent with that trajectory. Given the absence of cash flow and depreciation data, we cannot assess whether growth is cash-generative or capex-intensive this quarter. Nonetheless, the combination of double-digit revenue growth and stronger margins provides a constructive near-term outlook if execution continues. We will look for confirmation in subsequent quarters that wage pressures are contained and that new facilities ramp on plan.
Total assets were ¥51,418m, liabilities ¥31,736m, and equity ¥20,387m; the recalculated equity ratio is approximately 39.7% (reported 0.0% appears to be a non-disclosure placeholder). Debt-to-equity was 1.56x (liabilities/equity), aligned with a capital-intensive care facility operator. Current assets of ¥21,905m versus current liabilities of ¥23,582m yield a current ratio of 0.93x, indicating tight short-term liquidity and negative working capital of ¥1,677m. Quick ratio equals current ratio given no inventory disclosure. Interest expense was modest at ¥16m, with interest coverage of ~69x based on operating income, suggesting low near-term solvency risk from financing costs. Financial leverage per DuPont is 2.52x and consistent with the balance sheet. Without cash and cash equivalents disclosure, we cannot opine on net cash/debt or liquidity buffers. Overall solvency looks adequate with a near-40% equity ratio, but short-term liquidity metrics warrant monitoring.
Cash flow statements (operating, investing, financing) were not disclosed, so OCF/Net Income and FCF cannot be evaluated this quarter. Depreciation and amortization were also not disclosed, limiting visibility on non-cash components of earnings and EBITDA. As such, we cannot assess cash conversion, working capital usage, or maintenance versus growth capex. The negative working capital position (¥1.68bn) suggests reliance on payables/advances to fund operations, which is common in some service models but still bears monitoring. Earnings quality otherwise appears clean given the close alignment between operating and ordinary income and small interest expense, but confirmation via OCF is needed. Key watch items include OCF relative to net income (>100% on a multi-quarter basis would indicate solid conversion), changes in resident deposits/advances, and capex intensity for new facility openings.
Dividend per share and payout ratio figures in the feed show zero, which we treat as undisclosed rather than actual zero. With EPS at ¥23.02 for the quarter, internal capacity to fund dividends appears supported by earnings, but the absence of OCF and FCF data prevents assessment of cash coverage. If the company maintains a stable dividend policy, sustainability would hinge on full-year earnings, free cash flow after maintenance capex, and leverage targets. We would assess payout ratio against full-year EPS and FCF coverage once disclosed. For now, dividend sustainability cannot be determined due to lack of cash flow and DPS disclosure.
中期経営計画(2026-2028年6月期)では介護事業を中核とし、2028年6月期に売上高55,265百万円(年平均成長率約8.8%)、営業利益6,310百万円、経常利益率11.4%、ROE15%超を目指す。介護事業は既存ホームの生産性向上(3:0.9人員配置の拡大、介護DX深化)と新規開設数増加(自社開発比率向上)、M&A(介護付有料老人ホーム案件を複数検討中、アプローチ戦略)による年間10-20ホーム開設体制の構築を計画。エリアは首都圏近郊(神奈川県・埼玉県中心)、名古屋圏進出を視野に入れ、ドミナント戦略を継続。人材戦略では給与水準業界No.1レベルの維持、週休3日制定着率50%超、スマート介護士全ホーム長取得支援、介護DX人材増強を推進。介護関連事業(グッドパートナーズの人材派遣・訪問看護・ホスピス、チャームシニアリビングの入居者紹介)はシナジー強化とグループ経営効率化に注力し、WEB集客事業M&Aも検討。不動産事業は2026年6月期の調布市国領案件(2026年6月売却予定)をもって中止し、介護事業への資源集中を徹底。アセット・ライト方針により、自社開発ホームの不動産売却で資金回収と再投資サイクルを構築。GPT分析が指摘した短期流動性課題に対しては、3ヶ年営業CF160億円と資産売却20億円でカバーし、M&A待機資金100億円以上の確保により大型案件対応力を維持する。介護報酬改定(2027年4月想定)への備えとして、人員配置基準緩和(3:0.9)の実証と生産性向上により、制度変更耐性を高める。高齢化が急速に進む首都圏・近畿圏でのドミナント展開と、80歳以上人口の構造的増加(2035年までピーク)を背景に、需要の持続可能性は高いと評価。
経営陣は「原点回帰」を強調し、中核事業である介護付有料老人ホームに経営資源を集中すると明言。ホーム現場力の向上(教育研修の現場主義化、ホーム長マネジメント力強化、エリア課長の現場主義徹底)を最優先課題と位置づけ、リスク管理も現場主義化。処遇・職場環境向上(ベースアップ+賞与体系見直し、週休3日制定着率50%超)と介護DX推進により、人材不足下でも生産性向上と採用力強化を両立させる方針。配当方針は「成長投資とのバランスを考慮しつつ配当性向30%以上を継続」とし、中間配当の開始で株主還元機会を充実。ROE目標15%は株主資本コスト(CAPM約8%+流動性プレミアム含む)を上回る水準を目指し、投資家目線で投下資本利益率を判断基準とする。中期経営計画の数値は「現実的に実現可能と判断した内容で、目標的要素は極力排除」と説明し、保守的計画を提示。新規開設・M&Aは進行中案件以外は計画に含めず、実現時に上方修正する余地を残す。不動産事業中止の背景として、建築費高騰と金利上昇の環境変化を挙げ、介護事業集中による資金効率向上を優先。アセット・ライト方針により、自社開発ホームの売却(セール&リースバック等)で資金回収し、再投資サイクルの効率化を図る。M&A戦略では「課題のあるホームへのアプローチ戦略」を掲げ、当社独自の運営改善ノウハウ(PMI実績)を最強の強みと位置づけ、大型M&Aの可能性も視野に入れる。サステナビリティでは社会課題解決(ヤングケアラー支援、こどもの貧困対策、障がいアーティスト支援)を事業と統合し、地域社会との共生を重視。介護業界の人材不足と需要拡大という構造的な機会を捉え、「唯一無二の介護専業プライム上場企業」としての地位確立を目指す姿勢を鮮明にしている。

- 規制変更リスク(人員配置基準、運営基準、報酬体系の見直し)
- 減価償却費・キャッシュフロー未開示によるEBITDA・FCF評価困難(GPT分析指摘と同様、投資家の定量検証に制約)
Key Takeaways:
- Strong Q1 operating leverage: revenue +11.7% YoY, operating income +26.5%
- Operating margin expanded to ~10.0% from ~8.8% YoY
- Net margin at 6.82% with minimal non-operating noise; interest coverage ~69x
- Recalculated equity ratio ~39.7% indicates solid solvency despite leverage (D/E 1.56x)
- Liquidity tight with current ratio ~0.93x and negative working capital
- Cash flow and depreciation not disclosed; FCF quality unassessed
Metrics to Watch:
- Occupancy rate and average fee per resident
- Personnel expenses as % of sales and staff turnover
- OCF to net income ratio (>1.0 over time) and free cash flow after maintenance capex
- Capex and pipeline of new facility openings (ramp trajectory)
- Effective tax rate (estimated ~27%) and any extraordinary items
- Leverage metrics (net debt/EBITDA once D&A disclosed) and interest coverage
- Current ratio and movements in payables/resident deposits
Relative Positioning:
Within Japan’s private elderly care operators, the company exhibits solid topline growth and improving operating margins, supported by manageable financing costs and a moderate equity buffer; however, relative assessment is constrained by the lack of cash flow and depreciation data this quarter.
