ktk INC.【JP:3035】Stock Price

KTK operates primarily in office consumables and IT services. The company provides OA supplies such as reused toner and toner/ink cartridges, stationery, and office furniture, along with IT solutions including multifunction devices and electronic document management systems.

The company's main customers are corporations and government agencies that consolidate their office supply purchases, multifunction device deployment and maintenance, and IT infrastructure setup into single orders. Revenue comes from consumables and equipment sales, multifunction device sales and maintenance contracts, IT services, and ongoing transactions through a membership-based e-commerce platform.

The company operates two main business divisions: the Supply Business and the IT Solutions Business. The Supply Business handles reused cartridges, various printing consumables, and office paper, with sales also conducted through the membership e-commerce site "YORIDORI." The IT Solutions Business manages document management centered on multifunction devices, scanning and digitization services, business environment setup including PCs and web conferencing, and network and security deployment and maintenance. Subsidiaries provide support in logistics, warehousing, e-commerce operations, and digital marketing.

The company has announced its new medium-term management plan "Growth Plan 2027," covering the fiscal years ending August 2025 through August 2027. By August 2027, the company targets revenue of 20,000 million yen (2 billion yen), operating profit of 600 million yen (60 million yen), ordinary profit of 700 million yen (70 million yen), and ROE of 10.0% or higher. The company aims to transition from a stable revenue base to growth by enhancing profitability while actively investing in growth areas.

The priority investment area is expansion of the IT Solutions business, which the company positions as its "second pillar." Simultaneously, the company is pursuing a cross-selling strategy by leveraging the customer base built through its long-established Supply business (reused toner, office supplies, etc.). Specifically, the company is promoting the "Sustainable Partner Program," a customer-engaged reuse circulation system centered on its proprietary e-commerce platform "YORIDORI." The plan is to direct cash generated from revenue improvements through differentiation in the Supply business toward IT investments.

For new market development, the company is strengthening proposal-based business targeting small and medium-sized enterprises, starting with multifunction printer sales and expanding into IT services such as electronic document management, networking, security, and PC environment setup. Through digital marketing-driven e-commerce expansion and membership-based e-commerce platforms, the company aims to deepen customer relationships and drive growth in both sales and profit by expanding recurring revenue and maintenance and service contracts.

Regarding technological innovation, the company is prioritizing business digitalization and DX support for customers. The company will strengthen IT solutions tailored to actual needs, including digitalization and document management, remote conferencing and PC environment setup, and network and security implementation support, while enhancing customer acquisition capabilities through advanced digital marketing and e-commerce platforms. Additionally, the company is positioning sustainability at the center of its management strategy, addressing four key priorities—"environmental contribution," "DX," "human resource development and diversity," and "management foundation strengthening"—and pursuing improvements in both technology and business processes.
