Hibiya Engineering, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed building-services contractor, took in ¥56.1bn of new orders in the quarter to June 2026, up 235.8% from a year earlier, after signing several large data-center contracts. Orders tied specifically to data-center and information-facility work reached ¥41.9bn, the company's largest single order category for the quarter.
| Metric | Value | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Orders received | ¥56.1bn | +235.8% YoY |
| Net sales | ¥17.8bn | -6.5% YoY |
| Operating profit | ¥2.2bn | +33.7% YoY |
| Order backlog | ¥141.3bn | vs ¥83.2bn a year earlier |
Because construction revenue is booked as work is billed rather than when contracts are signed, reported sales actually fell 6.5% to ¥17.8bn even as new orders surged. Operating profit still rose 33.7% to ¥2.2bn on productivity gains and continued sales activity. The company's order backlog, unbilled work already under contract, climbed to ¥141.3bn from ¥83.2bn a year earlier. Management said that backlog already covers 61.4% of this fiscal year's sales plan and 50.5% of next year's.
Private-sector customers, driven largely by the data-center pipeline, accounted for 70.0% of new orders, a sharp jump from a year earlier. Hibiya said much of that flow runs through a facility it operates jointly with NTT Data, which it calls the DCTF, built on its track record in telecom-sector engineering. Full-year guidance, ¥105bn in sales and ¥11bn in operating profit, is unchanged from the company's May forecast.
