Heiwa to Launch Holding Company Structure in 2026 After Surpassing FY2026 Profit Forecasts Heiwa plans to shift to a pure holding company structure on October 1, 2026, under the new name HEIWA HOLDINGS INC., separating group oversight from day‑to‑day operations.
The pachinko and pachi slot machine operations will move into a new subsidiary, Olympia Co., Ltd., which will be led by current Representative Director Toshinobu Moromizato after his retirement from the board.
The company reported FY2026 results that came in above its initial sales and profit forecasts, supported by lower R&D spending in machines, gains on asset sales, reduced disaster recovery costs, and lower impairment losses in the golf business, while keeping dividends and the balance sheet steady.
This combination of a holding company transition and stronger‑than‑planned FY2026 earnings points to a management focus on clearer governance, capital allocation and steady shareholder returns.
Investors may want to watch how the new structure affects decision‑making speed in core pachinko operations and whether items such as asset sales and tax adjustments recur or fade in future profit figures. Reported Earnings • May 15

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 4.0% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (4.0% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (131% cash payout ratio). Annuncio • May 14
