Key Points

• For the first half of the term ending March 2021, sales dropped 4.3% year on year, and an operating loss of 102 million yen (an operating income of 325 million yen in the same period of the previous year) was posted. As for the IT-related business (the System Development Business and the Support and Service Business), sales and profit grew as already-received development projects progressed steadily, and the company received new orders in new fields from existing clients. Especially, in the Support and Service Business, the company received new orders in addition to continued large-scale orders, which improved profitability, so sales rose and profit increased considerably. On the other hand, the Parking System Business was significantly affected by COVID-19 (hereinafter referred to as "the infection"), so sales decreased 22.5% and an operating loss of 30 million yen (an operating income of 461 million yen in the same period of the previous year) was posted. The company posted an operating loss of 134 million yen in the first quarter, but posted an operating income of 31 million yen in the second quarter, indicating some improvement.

   

• The company leave the full-year forecast unchanged, and it is estimated that sales and ordinary income will decline 3.2% and 75.9% in the term ending March 2021, respectively, year on year. In the IT-related business, the company aims to further cultivate the life insurance domain by developing business models for maintenance and operation services, and by utilizing the operational knowledge. In the parking system business, the revenue from bicycle-parking areas in the second half is estimated to decline 20%, but the company aims to reduce fixed costs by reforming the revenue structure, and curtail outsourcing costs by producing equipment in house. The dividend is to be 14.00 yen/share (interim dividend: 7.00 yen/share), unchanged from the term ended March 2020. In the mid-term plan, the company aims to achieve sales of 20 billion yen and an operating income of 1.2 billion yen in the term ending March 2023.

   

• The parking system business, which had been the moneymaker until the term ended March 2020, was significantly affected by the infection. However, seeing the sales from pay-by-the-hour bicycle-parking areas, the impact of the infection seems to be weaker than the company’s assumption. The IT-related business performed well in the first half, and is expected to keep performing well, as the demand for investing in IT is strong, thanks to the needs for automation and labor saving for enhancing productivity to cope with the changes in the labor environment, the demand for renewal of mission-critical systems, etc. Considering all businesses comprehensively, it can be said that the COVID-19 crisis is generating advantage for the company. In the next term, their profit is estimated to grow considerably, motivated by active investment in bicycle-parking areas, further cost cut, and the continuing good performance of the IT-related business. If the mid-term plan is completed, EPS will reach around 100 yen. The share price remains three-digits and is quite undervalued.

2. 1H of Fiscal Year Ending March 2021 Earnings Results

(1) Consolidated Business Result

(Unit: Million yen)
* The figures include numbers calculated by Investment Bridge Co., Ltd. for reference, and may differ from actual figures (The same hereafter).

 

Sales declined 4.3% year on year, and an operating loss of 102 million yen was posted.
Sales decreased 4.3% year on year to 8,376 million yen. The sales of the System Development Business increased 6.7%, and the sales of the Support and Service Business rose 9.2%, but the sales of the Parking System Business dropped 22.5%.

In the information service field, some companies curtail the investment in IT, but the needs for automation and labor saving, and the demand for renewal of mission-critical systems exists. Namely, the willingness to invest in IT remains strong. In the field of bicycles and bicycle-parking areas, there were some effects of the infection, such as the decrease in use of bicycle-parking areas due to the voluntary restraint of going out in the wake of the declaration of a state of emergency, but after the lifting of the declaration, there is a sign of recovery in the use of bicycle-parking areas. In addition, bicycles are increasingly reevaluated in the new normal era, including the use of bicycles as an alternate transportation means for avoiding the contact with people in public transportation.
In the IT-related business in the first half, development projects received in the term ended March 2020 progressed steadily, and the company is receiving orders in new fields from existing clients. As for maintenance and operation services, the company mainly engages in mission-critical tasks, such as personnel affairs and accounting, so the impact of the infection was minor, resulting in the growth of sales and profit year on year.
As for the Parking System Business, the utilization rate of bicycle-parking areas is recovering, as the number of commuting customers using railways, and the number of visitors to commercial facilities that resumed operation are recovering after the lifting of the declaration of a state of emergency. However, sales and profit dropped significantly year on year, due to the record level continuous rain in July.
As for quarterly performance, sales of 4,077 million yen and an operating loss of 134 million yen were posted in the first quarter (Apr. to Jun.), and sales of 4,299 million yen and an operating income of 31 million yen were posted in the second quarter (Jul. to Sep.). This indicates the improvement from the first quarter. The interim dividend was 7.00 yen/share.

(2) Trend of Each Business Segment

Sales and Profit of Each Business Segment

(Unit: Million yen)

 

As for the System Development Business, sales were 3,495 million yen, up 6.7% year on year, and operating income was 384 million yen, up 19.6% year on year. Since the company had been developing the remote work environment from before the pandemic, the impact of the infection was minor. In addition, new transactions were healthy as major clients resumed IT investment, so sales and profit grew year on year.
As for the Support and Service Business, sales were 2,379 million yen, up 9.2% year on year, and operating income was 165 million yen, up 188.6% year on year. System operation and operational support for client companies are conducted remotely in most cases, so the impact of the infection was minor. In addition, the company kept receiving large-scale orders and new orders in their experienced field by utilizing the knowledge nurtured through transactions with existing clients, so sales grew year on year. As for profit, it grew considerably year on year, thanks to the good management of progress and profit.
As for the Parking System Business, sales were 2,497 million yen, down 22.5% year on year, and operating loss was 30 million yen (a profit of 461 million yen in the same period of the previous year). As for the sales of equipment, the company steadily made transactions for bicycle-parking areas in urban redevelopment, but the opening of some bicycle-parking areas attached to stations and commercial facilities were cancelled or postponed. As for the revenue from the usage charges of bicycle-parking areas, commuters using railways and visitors to commercial facilities decreased, due to the voluntary restraint of going out and opening stores in the wake of the declaration of a state of emergency in early April, so the utilization rate of bicycle-parking areas attached to stations and commercial facilities dropped considerably. As a result, the revenue from the usage charges of bicycle-parking areas in the first quarter declined about 50% year on year but, as the declaration of a state of emergency was lifted, the utilization rate recovered gradually from June, and the decrease rate of utilization rate was only about 20% year on year in August and September, although it was temporarily stagnant due to the record level prolonged rain in July. In urban areas where office buildings are concentrated, the utilization rate of bicycle-parking areas ceased to fall, as commuters who go to their workplaces by bicycle increased, but in the suburbs, where many users switched to working from home, the utilization rate declined. Consequently, sales decreased year on year. As for profit, to reduce fixed costs, the company optimized the frequencies of money collection and maintenance, and started the production of equipment which had been outsourced. They also implemented measures for improving the profitability of less profitable bicycle-parking areas. These curbed the diminution in operating income but the company posted an operating loss.
