ADVANCING TO A NEW GROWTH STAGE A company with a unique business portfolio of systemized construction and parking structures Nissei Build Kogyo is an integrated manufacturer and construction company, particularly strong in systemized construction and parking structures. Systemized construction, including assembly of prefabricated homes, exploits the potential of standardized building components or units, and a tightly organized factory production system, to speedily provide standardized buildings. Nissei Build’s business portfolio is distinguished by being strong in the capacity to supply structures of 1,000 m 2 or less in gross floor area. The enormous reconstruction demand after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 enabled Nissei Build to expand sales from ¥17,204 million in FY3/2011 (fiscal year ended March 2011) to ¥41,854million in FY3/2012. During the same period, ROE (return on equity) improved significantly from 2.6% to 20.6%. Offsetting a subsequent drop in reconstruction demand, Nissei Build recorded sales of ¥41,854 million and ROE of 13.0% in FY3/2014 due to successful alliance and M&A strategies. Advancing to a new growth stage, driven by alliance and M&A strategies Nissei Build has the ability to provide customers throughout the nation with solutions and the technological capabilities to realize the maximum potential of available space. Led by Atsuhiro Morioka, second- generation president, Nissei Build has been aggressive in (1) executing M&A strategy, (2) executing alliance strategy, (3) growing in high-margin stock-based (as opposed to flow-based) business, and (4) expanding overseas. The company’s Systemized Construction business has high growth potential in the domestic market, estimated to be about ¥700 billion in scale. It is believed that Nissei Build is advancing into a new growth stage, which has not been fully discounted in its current stock price.

For the full year, the company forecasts ¥47,000 million (up 12% y-o-y) in sales and ¥3,250 million (up 40%) in operating income. In its Medium- term Business Plan, targets for FY3/2016 are sales of ¥50,000 million and operating income of ¥3,500 million, suggesting growth rates will slow down.

ADVANCING TO A NEW GROWTH STAGE

A company with a unique business portfolio of systemized construction and parking

structures

Nissei Build Kogyo is an integrated manufacturer and construction company, particularly

strong in systemized construction and parking structures. Systemized construction,

including assembly of prefabricated homes, exploits the potential of standardized building

components or units, and a tightly organized factory production system, to speedily provide

standardized buildings. Nissei Build’s business portfolio is distinguished by being strong in

the capacity to supply structures of 1,000 m2 or less in gross floor area. The enormous

reconstruction demand after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 enabled

Nissei Build to expand sales from ¥17,204 million in FY3/2011 (fiscal year ended March

2011) to ¥41,854million in FY3/2012. During the same period, ROE (return on equity)

improved significantly from 2.6% to 20.6%. Offsetting a subsequent drop in reconstruction

demand, Nissei Build recorded sales of ¥41,854 million and ROE of 13.0% in FY3/2014

due to successful alliance and M&A strategies.

Advancing to a new growth stage, driven by alliance and M&A strategies

Nissei Build has the ability to provide customers throughout the nation with solutions and

the technological capabilities to realize the maximum potential of available space. Led by

Atsuhiro Morioka, second- generation president, Nissei Build has been aggressive in (1)

executing M&A strategy, (2) executing alliance strategy, (3) growing in high-margin

stock-based (as opposed to flow-based) business, and (4) expanding overseas. The

company’s Systemized Construction business has high growth potential in the domestic

market, estimated to be about ¥700 billion in scale. It is believed that Nissei Build is

advancing into a new growth stage, which has not been fully discounted in its current stock

price.

Anticipating the company’s specific longer-term growth-oriented message

In the first half of FY3/2015, sales decreased by 0.9% y-o-y due to a seasonal effect (sales

tend to be higher in the second half) but operating income increased by 16.2%, led by

margin improvement. For the full year, the company forecasts ¥47,000 million (up 12%

y-o-y) in sales and ¥3,250 million (up 40%) in operating income. In its Medium- term

Business Plan, targets for FY3/2016 are sales of ¥50,000 million and operating income of

¥3,500 million, suggesting growth rates will slow down. In view of this, the company’s

longer-term growth outlook is of great interest.

costs. Use of the H-type lightweight steel frames is suitable to structures with frontage of 10-40m,

or gross floor space of 1,000m2 or less. Standardized frame systems, exterior systems, roof systems,

and suitable components are selected by company engineers to construct structures according to

specifications. Applications include factories, warehouses, stores, and public facilities.

Differentiation reduces

competitive pressure

The potential market for Nissei

Build’s systemized construction

approximates ¥700 billion

Coexistence with steelmakers

■ Competitive advantages in specialized structures with facades of 10-40m

Being specialized in structures with facades of 10-40m is important for identifying Nissei Build’s

competitive positioning, due to the following two points.

1. The H-type lightweight steel frames, having less volume than frames used in the past, are

readily adopted for systemized construction, resulting in the reduction of costs.

2. Nissei Build does not compete with steelmakers and bridge makers which are engaged in

systemized construction of a different segment, using heavyweight steel frames (i.e.,

Kawada Industries, Inc., JFE Civil Engineering & Construction Corp., Sumikin System

Buildings Corp., .Yokogawa System Buildings Corp., and Nippon Steel & Sumikin

Engineering Co., Ltd.) Thus, Nissei Build is differentiated in terms of segment and

product.

Regarding the point 2, Nissei Build often works in alliance with Kawada Industries, Inc. (a

subsidiary of a holding company Kawada Technologies, Inc., TSE First Section, #3443).Through

the alliance Nissei Build does small projects and Kawada, the bigger projects, whereby each

company exploits its strengths, without competing with each other.

As a result, Nissei Build can benefit from reduced competitive pressure in the middle-scale

segment. In the small-scale market, Nissei Build has high growth potential based on its ability to

propose solutions that maximize the value of client assets, and save on costs. According to Nissei

Build estimates, the middle-scale and small-scale markets are estimated to be ¥500 billion and ¥200

billion respectively. Thus, Nissei Build’s main target is ¥700 billion in aggregate scale.

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

Steelmakers supply H-type lightweight steel frames to Nissei Build and also engage in systemized

construction by themselves. However, there is no conflict of interests as the steel companies

specialize only in systemized construction using heavyweight steel frames, as shown below. Due to

clear differentiation in market exposure and historical background, Nissei Build’s special

positioning is expected to remain intact in the future.

by nationwide convenience

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

■ Nissei’s prefab houses have facades of 10m or less

Prefabricated facilities (prefabs) are to manufacture pillars, beams, roofs, walls, and other

components of a building at off-site factories in advance and then assemble them on-site to

complete construction.

Nissei Build specializes in prefab housing having facades of 10m or less. Many components are

standardized, enabling high efficiency in both off-site factory production and on-site construction,

and ensuring that high standards of quality are satisfied. The rationalized entire processes from

design to production and construction helps lessen the overall work period and reduce construction

costs. Among the Nissei Build customers who benefit from this method are convenience store and

other retail business chains, including their franchisees, as chains require stores that are made

according to a high degree of standardization, resulting in cost reduction, more flexible store

development and reorganization. Nissei Build’s technological capabilities, ability to satisfy

customers, and nationwide presence are highly evaluated by those familiar with the company.

Installation of factory-made

finished products on site

Strong ability to propose

solutions and use technology for

effective use of space

■ Construction by the unit method of installing factory-made finished products on site

Nissei Build constructs structures by using the unit method of installing factory-made finished

products on site. The method accommodates various needs and allows construction in a short work

time. Flexibility of Unit facilities means more potential for modifying interior space to meet

specific requirements, and facilitate relocation and expansion.

■ Strength in applying systemized construction know-how

Parking structures are multilevel buildings and may be equipped with mechanical devices. By using

standardized components and applying systemized construction know-how, Nissei Build constructs

parking structures that satisfy a wide range of specific requirements and are completed and ready

for use in a short time. The two main types are a mechanical type and a drive-in type. Mechanical

parking can be either in the form of a tower or a multilevel facility. Nissei Build is leading the

industry with its innovative product offerings and ability to ensure effective use of space. Nissei

Build’s value-creating solutions and technological capabilities are well used in urban areas having a

perpetual shortage of parking space. Nissei Build’s parking structures are also attractive as facilities

that enable effective use of real estate and generate stable cash flow. Other attractive points for real

estate owners and investors are the company’s ability to forecast parking income based on its long

experience and integrated service including post-construction maintenance and operation.

Comprehensive support

Operates mainly in the Greater

Tokyo area

■ Parking-related full-services

Nissei Build provides a range of parking-related services, including regular maintenance,

management of coin-operated parking structures, replacement of old equipment, and renovation.

■ Business expansion driven by M&A: General construction mainly urban areas

Most of Nissei Build’s general construction business has been in the Greater Tokyo area and by

subsidiaries acquired since 2012. NB Construction is engaged in civil engineering, construction,

and repair of railway and other facilities. Ozawa Construction mainly builds commercial facilities

and condominiums. Addition of this business segment completes the range over which Nissei Build

can respond to customer needs. The company expects to raise its solution-offering ability by

as-needed joint efforts by the General Construction, Systemized Construction, and Parking

Structures businesses. In addition, by having the general construction business, the company

benefits by obtaining a wide range of real estate information in the Greater Tokyo area

■ Business alliances led to entry into development business

Nissei Build tied up with ES-CON Japan, Ltd. (JASDAQ; #8892; Nissei Build owns 5%), a

developer of condominiums and commercial facilities, in December 2012 and with Tosei Revival

Investment Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Tosei Corp. (TSE First Section; #8923) engaged in

alternative investment business. These alliances enabled Nissei Build to start the Property

Development business segment in March 2014 for development, purchase and sale, and rental of

properties, and obtain land for development.

Maximizing value by means of

combining three elements,

satisfying owners’ needs, and

sensitivity to features of the site

and its location

“Space is Value” is a corporate

slogan

■ Solution-providing ability and technological capabilities: two strengths to maximize usage

of space

Nissei Build’s strength lies in solution-providing ability and technological capability, that enable

maximal usage of space, and customers throughout the nation can avail themselves of these

advantages.

(Source: Prepared by JPR, based on company interview)

■ Three elements of solution-providing ability: ability to combine businesses, understand

customer needs, and provide full-range support.

First, ability to combine. Nissei Build combines its business of Systemized Construction, General

Construction, and Parking Structures and proposes a one-stop solution to maximize usage of space.

The Systemized Construction business facilitates shorter work time, greater space, standardized

products, lower price, and receptiveness to scrap-and-build situations. The General Construction

business responds to lasting individual customer needs. The Parking Structure business can realize

effective use of spare space and improve convenience. By combining these businesses for specific

projects, Nissei can better achieve maximizing customer value, based on needs of landowners and

business operators, characteristics of properties, and location conditions.

(Source: Prepared by JPR, based on company interview)

The second element is to understanding customers’ needs. Based on information provided by

alliance partners, Nissei Build strives to properly understand needs of prospective customers who

are interested in its solutions, and to make actionable proposals. Typical customers are convenience

store chains, hospitals, and public facilities.

Slashing the requirement for

skilled workers means Nissei

Build is less affected by the labor

shortage problem than

constructors using conventional

methods

The third element is provision of full-range support. Nissei Build is committed to provide a

one-stop, most-appropriate support for the constructed building.

(Source: Prepared by JPR, based on company interview)

■ Three elements of technological capability: provision of own design and production service,

ability to form combinations, and offering of the same level of capabilities nationwide

The first element is the company’s own design and production capabilities. In an integrated

manner, Nissei Build designs and manufactures steel frames, walls, roofs, and other building

components and devises control programs for tower parking facilities. Standardized mass

production helps lower costs and the construction technology reduce the need for veteran

construction workers, which enables restraint of overall costs and shortening of construction

periods.

The second element is ability to flexibly realize combinations. Depending on customer needs and

characteristics of sites and building requirements, Nissei Build can come up with a wide variety of

proposals by combining the specialties of Systemized Construction (i.e., “Nissei V Span-S,” prefab

houses and Unit facilities for sale or lease), General Construction, and Parking Structures

(mechanical, drive-in, coin-operated parking, or their combination) segments and by developing

proposals using its technological capabilities.

The third element is provision of identical-quality technical services of design, manufacturing, and

construction by Nissei Build’s own factories, partner building contractors, and sales offices across

Japan. The company is less affected by the labor shortage problem, compared to constructors using

conventional methods, as it does not require skilled workers. Moreover, it can fully respond to

market needs throughout the nation.

value-creating chain by

(Source: Company presentation materials)

■ New business development: stock business in Japan and overseas expansion

Nissei Build is promoting expansion of stock (as opposed to flow) business in Japan, and parking

structure business overseas. The stock business includes maintenance of parking structures,

operation and management of car and/or bicycle parking, management of business facilities, and

management and maintenance of commercial facilities. Stock business sales are projected to

increase by 1.8 times from ¥2,951 million in FY3/2014 to ¥5,400 million in FY3/2015. The

company further aims to grow sales to ¥10,000 million by FY3/2017.

Outside Japan, Nissei Build operates businesses in China, Thailand, and Singapore. As the

company has recently entered into those markets, sales are not yet significant but growth can be

anticipated in the future judging from the potential of the company’s accumulated know-how in

parking structures in urban areas which suffer from a perpetual shortage of parking space.

■ Political, economic, and social environment based evaluation

Negative factors for Nissei Build include sustained high building material prices and concerns

over the rise in labor cost, caused by a labor shortage. In contrast, positive factors are the expected

rise of real estate prices mainly in the Great Tokyo area, ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, rising

benefits from land management induced by lower interest rates, and greater needs for property

management in anticipation of the January 2015 rise in the inheritance tax. As real estate tends to

be evaluated lower than cash in assessing value for inheritance tax, there is a growing need to

convert cash into real estate, as a way to reduce inheritance tax obligations.

■ Five force analysis: Strong and solid market positioning

As shown in the chart below, Nissei Build has established a strong positioning in all five forces.

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

■ Assessment of management resources by VRIO analysis

Nissei Build is highly valued as it has established competent management resources in all four

factors: value, rareness, imitability, and organization.

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

Competitive rivalryThreat of new entrants Threat of substitutes

Relationship with partners

Strong and solid relations with clients

Few companies offer one-stop solutions in Nissei Build’s targeted middle-and small-scale markets.

Limited competition

It is not easy to provide a comprehensive service with a nationwide production network such as that of Nissei Build.

Low risk

Nissei Build’s products replace conventional methods.

Low substitution risk

Clients such as convenience store chains highly regard Nissei Build’s capability to provide solutions based on understanding of the client’s business.

Clients are highly satisfied with Nissei Build’s systemized construction (for 1,000m2 or less) and parking structures.

Nissei Build has established strong relationships of trust with intermediate companies or agencies, who in turn are trusted by clients.

Strong and solid relations

Value

Nissei Build’s total solutions to maximize space value and satisfy client needs, which are available nationwide, have proven highly valuable to operators of chain stores.

Rarity

Nissei Build is the only company in Japan to do systemized construction by using H-type lightweight steel frame for structures of 10-40 m in frontage and 1,000m2 or less in gross floor space in Japan.

Very few companies provide one-stop solution for small-scale structures, from component fabrication to construction and maintenance.

Imitability

It is difficult to imitate systemized construction starting with component fabrication.

Nissei Build’s human resources who market total solutions and respond to client needs are difficult to replicate.

Organization

Nissei Build is organized to provide one-stop solutions from component fabrication to construction and maintenance for systemized construction of 1,000m2 or less.

Nissei Build is capable of proposing use of space of the target businesses and do actual construction as one-stop.

Growth, driven first by

reconstruction demand, and then

M&A and alliance strategies

Growth was accelerated by

aggressive alliance strategy in and

after 2012

■ Assessment in growth

Nissei Build’s sales surged in FY3/2012, due to strong post-earthquake reconstruction demand,

after which sales increased due to the M&A and alliance strategies. Based on the company’s

forecasts up to FY3/2016, the expected compound annual growth rates in sales, operating income,

and net income from FY3/2010 to FY3/2016 are 17.0%, 42.1%, and 42.8% respectively.

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

By business segment, the Parking Structure business recorded double-digit sales growth of 26.9%

y-o-y in FY3/2013, 39.0% in FY3/2014, and is estimated to grow 17.3% in FY3/2015. This

includes a strong contribution from the alliance strategy. The Systemized Construction segment is

projected to increase sales by 18.2% y-o-y for FY3/2015, with almost no negative impact from the

disappearance of reconstruction demand. Since 2012, growth has appeared boosted by business

expansion driven by aggressively making alliances.

Operating margin is improving

from 5.6% in FY3/2014 to 7.0%

in FY3/2016

General Construction business

improves margin by selective

order-taking

■ Evaluation of margins, EPS, and payout ratio

After a spike in FY3/2012, margins have dropped with the fading away of reconstruction demand.

Operating margin is expected to gradually improve from 5.6% in FY3/2014 to 6.9% estimated for

FY3/2015 and 7.0% estimated for FY3/2016.

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

Segment information reveals that General Construction, driven by M&A activities and added in

FY3/2013, has a lower margin compared to the Systemized Construction segment and the Parking

Structure segment. The General Construction segment became more selective in receiving orders

and the improved margin enabled a swing back to profits in FY3/2014.

ROE exceeds 10%

Payout ratio is 30%

Stable and efficient balance sheet

Net D/E ratio of 0.13 times

After exceeding 20% in FY3/2012, return on equity (ROE) has been maintained at over 10%. EPS

was below ¥10 up to FY3/2012, spiked to ¥31 in FY3/2012 when reconstruction demand was

strong, and then dropped to ¥26. Recent gradual improvement is expected to push FY3/2016 EPS

to over ¥34. The payout ratio is expected to exceed 30%. Margin improvement has steadily raised

ROE and EPS. Together with a rise in the payment ratio, Nissei Build has been returning more

profits to shareholders.

(Source: Company’s presentation materials)

■ Evaluation of balance sheet

Nissei Build had total assets of ¥37,954 million at the end of March 2014. The total asset turnover

ratio, on a year-end basis, was 1.1 times (sales of ¥41, 854 million divided by total assets of

¥37,954 million). The ratio of current assets, ¥25,064 million, is high, representing over 60% of

total assets. The company is financially stable with a net debt/equity ratio [(long-term borrowings

and corporate debts + short-term borrowings - cash and deposits) divided by total assets] of 0.13

times. The balance sheet in general is stable and efficient. Specifically, a significant increase in

inventories in FY3/2014 is mainly attributable to an increase in real estate for sale by acquisition

of construction sites by ES-Con Japan for a collaborative project to develop condominiums.

Full-year forecasts: sales of

¥47,000 million (up 12% y-o-y)

and operating income of ¥3,250

million (up 40%)

Anticipating the company’s

specific longer-term growth

message

■ Higher income and a little less sales in the first half of FY3/2015, due to higher weight in

the second half

In the first half of FY3/2015, Nissei Build’s sales decreased by 0.9% y-o-y due to a seasonal

effect (more sales in the second half) but operating income increased by 16.2%. For the full year,

the company forecasts ¥47,000 million (up 12% y-o-y) in sales and ¥3,250 million (up 40%) in

operating income. In its Medium-term Business Plan, the company targets for FY3/2016 are

sales of ¥50,000 million and operating income of ¥3,500 million, suggesting slower growth rates

of 6% and 8% respectively. Given the company’s achievement in executing growth strategies

and improving margins, these forecasts are conservative and hence it is important to look

forward to the company’s disclosure of its longer-term growth outlook.

15.5% dilution due to stock

acquisition rights

Close to ¥4 billion in capital

procurement when fully exercised

Successful capital procurement

will strengthen net assets,

currently ¥14 billion, and

accelerate investment

Focus on creation of a virtuous

cycle of “margin improvement”

“higher stock price”

“financing by exercise of stock

acquisition rights” “more

profit growth led by more

investment”

■ Issuance of 10 million stock acquisition rights at exercise prices of ¥300, ¥350, and ¥500

On November 26, 2014, Nissei Build issued 10 million stock acquisition rights, allotted to

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. Given use of treasury stock when exercised, the dilution rate

should be 15.5%. The exercise prices are set at ¥300, ¥350, and ¥500, with respective issuance of

3 million, 3 million, and 4 million shares. The exercise prices are above the current stock price.

Unless the stock price rises to those levels, dilution will not occur, proving that consideration has

been given to existing shareholders in the choice of financing method.

This financing arrangement will result in procurement of ¥900 million, ¥1,050 million, and ¥2,000

million (¥3,950 million in total) with a three-year exercise period. The company’s approval is

required for Deutsche Bank to request exercise. It is expected that Nissei Build will give full

consideration to the impact on its stock price and the market’s sales trend after third-party

allotment. There is an option for Nissei Build to revise the exercise price from May 26, 2015. The

proceeds will be used as capital for lease building assets, land and stores of convenience stores,

the coin-operated parking business, and M&A in the facility management business. Nissei Build’s

advantage when attempting to make acquisition in the facility management business is to be able

to strategically offer an acquisition price by considering benefits from synergies with its other

businesses.

(Source: Company’s disclosed materials)

As mentioned above, Nissei Build has the ability to propose solutions and the technological

capabilities to make optimum use of space, and do so on behalf of clients anywhere in the nation.

The company has been aggressive in (1) executing M&A strategy, (2) executing alliance strategy,

(3) achieving growth in high-margin stock-based business, and (4) expanding overseas. Those

measures, since 2012, are likely to show results in terms of upcoming operating performance.

Under the strong leadership of Atsuhiro Morioka, Nissei Build is advancing to a new growth stage

in terms of the growth process and profitability, which is thought to not be reflected in the current

stock price level. It is important to focus on whether the recent issuance of stock acquisition rights

will create a virtuous cycle of “margin improvement in the growth stage” “higher stock price”

“financing by exercise of stock acquisition rights” “more profit growth led by more

investment.”

top 25% in ROE. It also ranks in the middle tier to the lower tier in terms of PER. Its PBR is in

the upper tier, while its EBITDA ratio is in the upper to middle tier. Looking at the current

profitability, Nissei Build is not undervalued compared to its peers. Valuation of the stock should

incorporate consideration given to Nissei Build’s growth expectations driven by its aggressive

M&A and alliance strategies since 2012.

The current stock price (¥281 on

January 30, 2015) does not yet

fully discount the Medium-term

Business Plan and the stock

business expansion

■ Sensitivity analysis

Nissei Build has announced a Medium-term Business Plan, for up to FY3/2016. The stock

business has the target of ¥10 billion by FY3/2017. A DCF model for sensitivity analysis was

used to analyze the impact of future growth on the stock price. Sales growth rates were set from

-2.5% to 7.5% for flow business (FY3/2016 to FY3/2020) and for stock business (FY3/2017 to

FY3/2020). The growth rate after FY3/2020 is 0%. Two scenarios in stock acquisition rights, (1)

no exercise and (2) full exercise, were run. Assumptions for profit and asset structures were for

no significant change (see details below). The weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) used the

following key assumptions: (1) beta of 1.125, based on the past 3-year stock price fluctuation; (2)

after-tax interest expenses divided by average interest bearing debt of FY3/2014; (3) 10-year

Japanese Government bond yield as of December 30, 2014; (4) interest bearing debt at the end of

September 2014; (5) market cap at the closing stock price of December 30, 2014. The WACCs by

different risk premiums are calculated below. In sensitivity analysis, the WACC range from 4% to

9% is used.

Risk premium 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10%

WACC (Est.) 4.7% 5.3% 6.2% 7.0% 7.8% 8.7%

(Source: Prepared by JPR)

■ Growth potential is not discounted at the closing stock price of ¥281 of January 30, 2015

Results of sensitivity analysis are as follows:

(Source: Prepared by JPR)

In case of the WACC of 9%, fully-exercised stock acquisition rights, and a growth rate of -2.5,

the fair stock price is calculated to be ¥358. In the scenario of fully-exercised stock acquisition

rights and assuming 7% WACC, the calculated stock price is ¥505 at a growth rate of 2.5% and

¥551 at a growth rate at 7.5%. If Nissei Build’s growth rate accelerates from FY3/2016, thanks to

its aggressive measures taken since 2012, the stock price of ¥500 or higher can be fully justified

even with due consideration to dilution by exercise of the stock acquisition rights. It is believed

that the stock price of ¥281 at closing on January 30, 2015, does not incorporate growth potential

likely to emerge from FY3/2017 on the back of expansion of the stock business and the

medium-term business forecasts.
