The score is primarily supported by a very strong, low-leverage balance sheet and generally positive cash generation, but is held back by clear profitability/margin compression and only neutral-to-weak technical positioning (below key longer-term moving averages). Valuation signals are also less supportive due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield data.

Positive Factors

Low leverage / strong balance sheet

Minimal debt and steadily expanding equity give the company financial flexibility to invest in cloud services, withstand demand cyclicality, and pursue strategic projects without needing external financing. This reduces bankruptcy risk and supports durable operations over multiple years.

High free cash flow conversion

Consistently high FCF-to-net-income conversion indicates earnings quality and internal funding for capex, hiring or M&A. Strong cash conversion supports sustainability of operations and reinvestment in cloud capabilities, strengthening the firm’s long-term competitive footing.

Consistent revenue growth and scale-up

Steady top-line growth and recent scale expansion reflect enduring customer demand for AWS implementation and managed services. A growing revenue base supports economies of scale, network effects in service delivery, and a larger recurring-services footprint over the medium term.

Negative Factors

Material margin compression

Sustained gross- and net-margin decline erodes profitability headroom and limits capacity to absorb higher costs or invest in differentiation. If margins remain compressed, returns on incremental revenue will be weak, constraining capital allocation and shareholder returns over time.

Volatile operating and free cash flow

Large swings in operating and free cash flow reduce predictability of internal funding for growth and make planning harder. Volatility likely reflects working-capital or timing effects that could limit consistent reinvestment, dividend potential, or reliable deleveraging.

Modest returns on equity

Mid-single-digit ROE indicates modest capital efficiency relative to peers, limiting the pace at which internally generated capital compounds shareholder value. Persistently low ROE can challenge long-term value creation and make growth-funded by equity less accretive.

How the Company Makes Money

Serverworks Co., Ltd. Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Strong balance sheet (minimal leverage, steadily growing equity) supports resilience, but income statement shows material margin compression (gross margin down to ~11% and net margin ~1.9% in 2025). Cash flow is positive with solid FCF-to-net-income conversion, though operating/FCF volatility reduces consistency.

Income Statement

Revenue has grown consistently over the period, with a step-up in scale in recent years, supporting a solid growth profile. However, profitability has compressed materially: gross margin has trended down (about 16% in 2020–2022 to ~11% in 2025), and net margin has fallen from roughly 5–6% to ~1.9% in 2025. While the company remains profitable, the latest year shows meaningfully weaker margins, which tempers the otherwise steady top-line trajectory.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet is a clear strength: debt is minimal to none across most years (debt-to-equity near 0), and equity has steadily expanded alongside asset growth. Returns on equity are positive and relatively steady in the mid-single-digits recently, indicating the company is profitable without relying on leverage. The main limitation is that returns are not particularly high versus earlier peaks, but overall financial risk from leverage appears low.

Cash Flow

Cash generation is positive, with free cash flow generally strong versus net income (around ~80–97% in several years and ~92% in 2025), which supports earnings quality. That said, cash flow has been volatile: operating cash flow was very weak in 2023 and stepped up sharply in 2024 before dropping again in 2025, creating less predictability. Free cash flow growth also shows large swings, suggesting working-capital or investment timing effects that investors should monitor.

Serverworks Grows Revenue but Swings to Loss and Cuts Profit Outlook While Planning Dividend Resumption

Serverworks reported consolidated net sales of ¥29.1 billion for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, an 11.0% year-on-year increase, but operating profit fell 55.9% to ¥363 million and ordinary profit declined 42.8% to ¥485 million, resulting in a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥506 million and negative basic earnings per share of ¥65.74. The company’s equity ratio decreased to 50.2% from 55.9% as net assets fell, while it revised its full-year forecast to anticipate higher sales of ¥39.6 billion but significantly lower profits and a full-year net loss of ¥705 million; despite this earnings deterioration, Serverworks plans to resume shareholder returns with a forecast annual dividend of ¥25 per share for the year ending February 28, 2026, and recorded changes in consolidation scope and accounting policies that also affect its reported figures.
