■Summary

1. Company Overview

Genetech <4492> is an enterprise that mainly provides system development for electronic products, high value-added solutions in the engineering area for the manufacturing industry, and location information services using patented technology based on software/hardware technology and development capabilities. The company's business is broadly divided into 3 businesses: system solutions business, engineering solutions business, and GPS business. In the system solution business, we provide software/hardware system development business, ERP implementation support, etc., and in the engineering solutions business, we provide optimal solutions for “manufacturing” such as sales of 3D CAD/CAM systems, 3D simulation software, product lifecycle management software, etc. Also, the GPS business provides a disaster prevention application “Kokodayo,” which automatically notifies location information of family members and loved ones in conjunction with earthquake early warning and disaster warnings with a seismic intensity of 5 or higher. Since its establishment in 1985, the company has made full use of advanced technology and know-how as a leading expert in embedded system development in Japan, and has accumulated cutting-edge development results. The fact that they have teams that specialize not only in software but also in hardware development clearly sets them apart from other development companies. Furthermore, due to our track record of providing technology to many customers so far, we are consistently handling everything from upstream to downstream processes of design and development. As a company that provides DX-related, digital twin-related, and disaster prevention-related tools and solutions, we expect growth with abundant technical capabilities and proposal capabilities in the future.

2. Financial Summary for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2024

Financial results for the fiscal year ending 2024/3 were net sales of 7,147 million yen (up 21.9% from the previous fiscal year), operating income of 629 million yen (up 494.5% from the same period), ordinary income of 635 million yen (up 468.9% from the same period), and net income attributable to parent company shareholders of 414 million yen (profit of 23 million yen in the previous fiscal year), resulting in a significant increase in sales and profit. In the system solutions business, software development orders in the digital information home appliance field and the automobile field remained steady. Hardware development for semiconductor manufacturing equipment was affected by delays in parts delivery, but sales exceeding initial plans were achieved. Furthermore, profit margins were also improved due to improved estimate accuracy and optimization of monthly unit prices per person, etc. In the engineering solutions business, profit margins for the main product “Mastercam” seemed to be declining due to exchange rate effects, but we secured sales and profits on par with the previous fiscal year by focusing on development work such as customization. “FlexSim” received strong inquiries from large companies, and sales grew drastically, driving segment profits. Meanwhile, in the PLM business, which is a growth business, costs took precedence during the system development stage. In the GPS business, the total number of installations of the “Kokodayo” service exceeded 1.26 million, and sales and profit increased compared to the previous fiscal year due to increases in unit prices for services for “amazing content” by NTT DOCOMO, INC. The fiscal year ending 2024/3 is the first year of the medium-term management plan, and in addition to a 20% increase in sales compared to the previous fiscal year, operating profit, which was around 100 million yen in the previous fiscal year, also rapidly expanded to over 600 million yen, and we believe that a strong start has come to an end.

3. Earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending 2025/3

The earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending 2025/3 is sales of 8,500 million yen (up 18.9% from the previous fiscal year), operating income of 750 million yen (up 19.2% from the same period), ordinary income of 730 million yen (up 14.9% from the same period), and net income attributable to parent company shareholders of 426 million yen (up 2.7% from the same period). In the system solutions business, it is planned to shift engineers to the PLM business, etc., so sales are not expected to increase as much as in the previous fiscal year, but we will continue to focus on business expansion due to higher unit prices. In the engineering solutions business, sales expansion will be further strengthened for both “Mastercam” and “FlexSim.” Also, with regard to the PLM business, Flash Systems Co., Ltd., which became a wholly owned subsidiary in 2024/4, has joined, and the business unit is expected to become profitable. In the GPS business, it is a policy to proceed with the development of new services in order to create new revenue sources. The current business environment has been improving, and we believe that there is a high possibility that the full-year forecast will be achieved.
