Key Points
- In the fiscal year ended March 2025, sales grew 5.7% year on year to 38,918 million yen and operating income rose 9.8% year on year to 6,285 million yen. Sales slightly fell below the forecast, but operating income exceeded the forecast, thanks to profitable large-scale projects. In the wake of reform of capital relationships among group companies, net income exceeded the forecast significantly, due to the posting of deferred transfer losses in the past as losses. Some measures are ongoing in accordance with the medium-term management plan, and they are steadily making medium/long-term projects for achieving their goals set in the medium-term plan.
- For the fiscal year ending March 2026, sales are expected to grow 5.3% year on year to 41 billion yen and operating income is projected to rise 1.0% year on year to 6,350 million yen. As they will make projects to compensate for the decline in the number of large-scale ones, sales and all kinds of profits excluding net income are forecast to grow. Due to the posting of deferred transfer losses in the previous fiscal year as losses, net income is forecast to drop. Regarding dividends, they plan to pay a common dividend of 65.00 yen/share, up 5.00 yen/share from the previous fiscal year. The expected payout ratio is 37.5%. They purchase treasury shares while monitoring the market environment, just like they did swiftly when share price nosedived in August last year and April this year.
- On March 27, 2025, the company announced the business merger with IHI Corporation, which handles segments that are indispensable for urban infrastructure. This business merger will enable the combination of the sewerage and flood control business, in which Vertex excels, and the segments of IHI, and they will be able to join projects for constructing underground tunnel reservoirs and underground rivers. In addition, their participation in large-scale infrastructure projects and other large-scale projects for high-standard roads, subways, etc., which are planned and conducted around Japan, will be accelerated. Furthermore, the fusion of the two companies’ technologies will enable the development of new products and materials. It is noteworthy what kinds of synergetic effects can be produced.
1. Company Overview
The core business of the company is to manufacture and sell a variety of precast concrete, which supports our daily lives.
(1) Company History
In 2014, three companies, NIPPON ZENITH PIPE CO., LTD., HANEX CO., LTD. (former name: HANEDA HUME PIPE CO., LTD.), and HANEDA CONCRETE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., merged into HANEDA ZENITH CO., LTD., which was then renamed HANEDA ZENITH HOLDINGS CO., LTD.
On October 1, 2018, HANEDA ZENITH HOLDINGS CO., LTD. and HOKUKON CO., LTD. (based in Fukui Prefecture) established Vertex Corporation through joint stock transfer (which made HANEDA ZENITH HOLDINGS CO., LTD. and HOKUKON CO., LTD. wholly owned subsidiaries).
The companies set up a new business group.
In April 2019, HANEDA ZENITH CO., LTD., as the surviving company, absorbed HANEDA ZENITH HOLDINGS CO., LTD. (a merged company).
On April 1, 2021, VERTEX Co., Ltd. was born through absorption-type merger carried out by HANEDA ZENITH CO., LTD. as the surviving company and HOKUKON CO., LTD. as the merged company, which were the core business companies affiliated with VERTEX Corporation.
VERTEX Corporation aims to achieve sales and profit growth by increasing its market share and boosting profitability in the mature markets of concrete and piles, and the growing market of disaster prevention through a multitude of approaches, including creation of business synergy and enhancement of business efficiency.

◎ VERTEX Vision 2034
The company has formulated the VERTEX Vision 2034 as well as its purpose to achieve in 10 years.
The first medium-term management plan (FY 3/20-FY 3/21) was a period to solidify the business and management foundations following the business integration, while the second medium-term management plan (FY 3/22-FY 3/24) was a period to strengthen the business and management foundations to ensure sustainable growth. In the subsequent third medium-term management plan (FY 3/25-FY 3/27), the company will focus on (1) strengthening the business portfolio, (2) promoting sustainability-oriented management, and (3) strengthening human capital, R&D, and digital transformation. After implementing the subsequent fourth and fifth medium-term management plans (FY 3/28-FY 3/33), the company aims to achieve sales of 100 billion yen and an operating income of 15 billion yen by 2034.
[The ideal state the company wants to realize in 10 years]
The company has also outlined the issues it must address in the next 10 years, such as the declining working population, aging infrastructure, global warming, and intensifying natural disasters, and has defined “the ideal sate it wants to realize in 10 years” as a countermeasure against these issues.
The ideal state the company wants to realize in 10 years | Measures |
MIRAI Factory | In light of the labor shortage, the company is promoting the creation of smart factories through automation and centralized management. |
One-stop Maintenance | To become a one-stop service provider by taking over the maintenance and management of infrastructure from the upstream |
Be precast ON-SITE | Precast concrete is to be precast onsite, instead of being delivered from the factory. |
Smart Slope Disaster Prevention | To realize smart slope-based disaster prevention by collecting a variety of data from satellites to detect and prevent disasters in advance |
[Long-term business portfolio concept]
The company will work to strengthen its business portfolio in order to achieve VERTEX Vision 2034.

(4) Market Environment
The following are the points to keep in mind for understanding the company’s business environment:
◎ Demand for investment in disaster prevention and mitigation remains strong.
Public works-related expenditures, which are important in the construction industry, have remained stable for the past 10 years. In particular, a certain amount is allocated each year for infrastructure repairs and public works. In addition, as the proportion of existing infrastructure that is over 50 years old is projected to increase, it is expected that high levels of demand for investment in disaster prevention and mitigation will continue. In this environment, the company recognizes the importance of enriching its track record and increasing the market share of its products in line with its business model.
(Ratio of major social infrastructure that was constructed more than 50 years ago)
Agricultural drainage channels (approx. 50,000 km, core agricultural irrigation facilities) | 2019 | 2029 | - |
50% | 67% | - | |
Road bridges (approx. 730,000 bridges, bridges over 2 m) | 2020 | 2030 | 2040 |
30% | 55% | 75% | |
Sewer conduits (total length: approx. 470,000 km) | 2020 | 2030 | 2040 |
5% | 16% | 35% | |
Port wharf (approx. 5,000 facilities, water depth -4.5 m or deeper) | 2020 | 2030 | 2040 |
21% | 43% | 66% | |
Fire prevention water tanks (approx. 520,000 units) | 2020 | 2025 | 2035 |
35% | 40% | 58% |
(Taken from the reference material of the company)
◎ Revision to the plan for enhancing national resilience
In accordance with the basic plan for enhancing national resilience, which was adopted at the Cabinet meeting in July 2024, they announced a draft of the first medium-term plan for enhancing national resilience in April 2025. The scale of the project is up about 30% from the previous measure for accelerating the five-year plan, and this is favorable for their core business.

(Taken from the reference material of the company)
◎ Workstyle reform and labor shortages on construction sites: Expansion of precast construction methods
Precast concrete is a concrete product that is manufactured in advance in a factory. It is highly efficient in terms of workability and is expected to be a solution to the labor shortage and rising labor costs on construction sites. On the other hand, casting concrete in-situ is a construction method in which reinforcing bars are assembled at the construction site and ready-mixed concrete is poured. Precast concrete has the advantage of being about 1/2 to 1/5 as efficient in terms of on-site work efficiency as compared to casting concrete in-situ, but the disadvantage is that it must be transported from a factory, which generates restrictions on transport routes and can result in high transport costs depending on the distance. On the other hand, casting in-situ can be flexibly adopted for special and large structures without the restrictions of transport routes, but it also has the disadvantages of being inferior to precast in terms of work efficiency and its quality varies depending on weather conditions and workers. Currently, the majority of construction work is done by casting in-situ due to its economic advantage in terms of direct construction costs, and precast construction accounts for only 13% of the total. However, with the shortage of skilled workers and the need to improve construction efficiency in line with the reform of work styles at construction sites, it is expected that the use of precast construction will become more common in the long term than it is now. If the usage ratio reaches the same level as overseas, the ratio of precast construction methods may exceed 50% in the medium/long term.

On April 1, 2024, the company set the purpose of “We offer new forms of security for the future of people worldwide with our unique ideas and one-of-a-kind technologies.” In order to attain this purpose, the company formulated “the long-term vision VERTEX Vision 2034” to achieve in 10 years by 2034 and “the third medium-term management plan” for the period from 2024 to 2026. By implementing the management strategy set in the “the third medium-term management plan” without fail, they aim to ensure the peace of mind and improve corporate value further.
Sales, gross profit, operating income, and ordinary income are expected to grow, as they will secure projects to compensate for the decrease of large-scale projects. However, net income is expected to decrease due to the posting of deferred transfer losses in the previous year as deductible expenses. Operating income margin is assumed to be 15.5%, down 0.7 points from the previous fiscal year.
For dividends, they plan to pay a common dividend of 65.00 yen/share, up 5.00 yen/share from the previous fiscal year. The expected payout ratio is 37.5%. They purchase treasury shares while monitoring the market environment, just like they did swiftly when share price nosedived in August last year and April this year. For fiscal year ending March 2026, sales are expected to grow 5.3% year on year to 41 billion yen, and operating income is forecast to rise 1.0% year on year to 6,350 million yen.
The acquisition of IHI Corporation announced in March 2025 is being assessed, so it has not been taken into account in the forecast. The impact of the post-merger process on the medium-term management plan will be disclosed after the assessment.
Most of their businesses are related to the public-work projects in Japan, which arise out of domestic demand. Accordingly, the tariff measures of the Trump administration would not affect their businesses significantly. The raw materials for precast concrete are procured mainly inside Japan, so changes in exchange rates would produce little effect.

5. Conclusions
In the fiscal year ended March 2025, sales grew 5.7% and operating income rose 9.8%. Sales slightly fell below the forecast, but operating income exceeded the forecast, thanks to profitable large-scale projects. Some measures are ongoing in accordance with the medium-term management plan, and they are steadily making medium/long-term projects for achieving their goals set in the medium-term plan. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, which is the second year of the medium-term management plan, they announced an outlook calling for better results than the numerical goals in the second year of the medium-term management plan. The performance trend in the first half of the fiscal year is noteworthy, to see how much they can progress toward the completion of the medium-term management plan.
On March 27, 2025, the company announced the business merger with IHI Corporation, which handles segments that are indispensable for urban infrastructure. This business merger will enable the combination of the sewerage and flood control business, in which Vertex excels, and the segments of IHI, and they will be able to join projects for constructing underground tunnel reservoirs and underground rivers. In addition, their participation in large-scale infrastructure projects and other large-scale projects for high-standard roads, subways, etc., which are planned and conducted around Japan, will be accelerated. Furthermore, the fusion of the two companies’ technologies will enable the development of new products and materials. The impact of acquisition of IHI Corporation is being assessed, so synergetic effects were not taken into account in the initial forecast for fiscal year ending March 2026. The impact of the post-merger process on the medium-term management plan will be disclosed after the assessment. We are looking forward to seeing their numerical goals. It is noteworthy what kinds of synergetic effects can be produced.
Even after acquiring IHI Corporation, they have a budget for M&A amounting to 8.5 to 13.5 billion yen. Their targets for M&A are (1) enterprises that are expected to enhance the functions of their existing business and operate business in peripheral areas, under the concept of pursuing the prevention and mitigation of disaster and the improvement in national resilience, (2) enterprises that offer products and services to the businesses the company is growing (in the fields of infrastructure maintenance, railways, and defense), (3) enterprises that offer products and services that are popular in the public sector, and (4) enterprises that are expected to reinforce or expand the business portfolio of the company (inducing synergy while taking advantage of the forte of the existing business). We would like to pay attention to their future M&A strategy, too, with expectation.
