Vis Inc. Announces FY2026 March Financial Results: Record-High Sales and All-Stage Profits for 5 Consecutive Years. Dividend Payout Ratio to Increase to 40% for FY2027 March, Progressive Dividend Policy Continues.

Vis Inc. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Tomohiro Kanaya; TSE Standard: 5071), a company specializing in work design, announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 on May 13, 2026.

Consolidated net sales reached 16,489 million JPY, a 101.5% increase year-on-year, and consolidated operating profit was 1,942 million JPY, a 101.4% increase year-on-year.

FY2026 March Consolidated Results: Updating Record-High Performance

In the fiscal year ended March 2026, our group focused on promoting 'work design,' which goes beyond traditional office design to encompass the design of the working environment and systems themselves, as the first year of our medium-term management plan "VISION2027."

As a result, net sales were 16,489 million JPY (1.5% increase from the previous fiscal year), operating profit was 1,942 million JPY (1.4% increase), and ordinary profit was 1,925 million JPY (0.8% increase). We achieved record-high sales and all-stage profits for the fifth consecutive year, marking five consecutive years of increased revenue and profit.

In particular, the shift to large-scale projects was successful. The gross profit margin (sales - outsourcing costs) also improved. While actively executing growth investments such as the relocation of our Osaka headquarters and the opening of new flexible office 'The Place' locations, these efforts were strongly supported by the deepening of value creation through our business, leading to record-high performance.

Business Overview and Order Status: Record-High Order Intake and Order Backlog for the Quarter

In our core branding business, there is a notable increase in project unit prices due to the enhancement of value provided.

With the continued rise in interest in human capital management, there has been an increase in large-scale projects seeking strategic office construction. In the fourth quarter, the average project unit price reached 42.91 million JPY. The significant increase in unit price while stably maintaining the number of orders and order win rate is considered a testament to the high market evaluation and solid trust in our 'work design.'

Regarding orders, with the growing interest in human capital management, investment demand for office environments is very active. As a result, the full-year order intake reached a record high of 17.8 billion JPY. Among these, large-scale projects exceeding 100 million JPY expanded to account for 42% (7.5 billion JPY) of the total, clearly indicating a trend towards larger projects.

Although current period sales slightly fell short of the plan due to some projects shifting their acceptance period to the next fiscal year, the year-end order backlog significantly accumulated to 3,931 million JPY (63.3% increase from the end of the previous fiscal year).

Furthermore, "advance payments" on the balance sheet reached 1.3 billion JPY (3.3 times the amount at the end of the previous fiscal year), allowing us to start the new fiscal year with a solid foundation for achieving performance in the next and subsequent periods.

Future Outlook (FY2027 March Consolidated Performance Forecast): Towards the Next Growth Stage with "Human Capital x Generative AI"

For the fiscal year ending March 2027, we forecast consolidated net sales of 18,397 million JPY (11.6% increase from the previous fiscal year) and operating profit of 1,951 million JPY, aiming for six consecutive years of increased revenue and profit.

We will focus on productivity improvement through "Human Capital x Generative AI" as a key initiative, accelerating the provision of high-value-added "Experience Design" and the monetization of our real estate brokerage business.

Strengthening Shareholder Return Policy: Raising to "Progressive Dividend" and "40% Dividend Payout Ratio"

Backed by a strong financial foundation and future profit growth, we will significantly strengthen our shareholder return policy.

From the fiscal year ended March 2026, we introduced a "progressive dividend" policy, publicly stating our basic principle to "maintain or increase dividend levels without reduction, regardless of profit fluctuations."

As a result, from the next fiscal year (FY2027 March), the target consolidated dividend payout ratio will be raised to 40%, directly returning the fruits of our growth to our shareholders. The forecast dividend for the next fiscal year (FY2027 March) is 59 JPY per share, an increase of 10 JPY from the previous fiscal year.
