  1. Results of Operations

    1. Results of Operations

      1. Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 (April 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025)

        During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the global economy continued to recover moderately, although countries'

        tariff policies and export controls affected certain sectors.

        In Japan, production in the manufacturing industry remained roughly flat, while capital expenditures were solid due to high corporate earnings. Overseas, the U.S. economy was firm. European economies continued to recover, although certain sectors were negatively affected by U.S. tariff hikes. In China, signs of a slowdown intensified, particularly in domestic demand. Asian economies outside China experienced a moderate overall recovery. The pace of recovery varied by country.

        In this environment, total consolidated orders of 314,151 million yen, up 0.5% year on year. Net sales increased 0.9%, to 303,604 million yen. Business profit* increased 10.1%, to 38,862 million yen, operating profit was 40,227 million yen, up 15.9% versus the year-ago period, profit before tax was 40,010 million yen, rising 15.3%, and profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to 27,404 million yen, up 13.1%.

        * Business profit is the Group's own indicator that measures constant business performance. It is net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Although business profit is not defined by IFRS, the Group voluntarily discloses it, believing that it is beneficial for users of its financial statements.



      2. Segment Information

        The Group has Electronics Industry and General Industry as two reportable segments in its segment information in order to formulate strategies based on an in-depth examination of the characteristics of each market and to expand solutions by combining diverse products and services, from the viewpoint of providing value to society and customers.

        Due to a reorganization that occurred in the fiscal year under review, Arcade Engineering GmbH and certain divisions of Kurita America Inc. (water treatment facilities business), which were previously classified into the General Industry segment, have been moved to the Electronics Industry segment. The figures for the same period of the previous fiscal year have been adjusted to reflect the changes in the reportable segments.

        1. Electronics Industry

          Total Group orders for the Electronics Industry segment were 143,258 million yen, down 3.7% versus the year-ago period. Orders for water treatment facilities fell due to a reactionary decline following a large-scale project in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The demand for precision tool cleaning declined due to a fall in capacity utilization at plants of certain customers. Orders for maintenance and recurring contract-based services, including the ultrapure water supply business, rose. Total Group net sales for the Electronics Industry segment amounted to 136,495 million yen, a decrease of 2.5% year on year. Net sales of water treatment facilities declined due to the lack of sales from large-scale projects in China recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Net sales from maintenance services increased. Net sales of recurring contract-based services increased, reflecting higher capacity utilization at plants of certain customers. Net sales from precision tool cleaning dropped. In terms of profits, business profit stood at 18,490 million yen, down 1.7% year on year. While profitability improved for water treatment facilities, this was outweighed by decreased sales and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating profit came to 19,489 million yen, an increase of 2.9% year on year, reflecting settlement gains from the mid-contract termination of ultrapure water supply contracts with a certain customer.



        2. General Industry

          Total Group orders for the General Industry segment increased 4.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year, to 170,892 million yen. Orders for water treatment chemicals increased only slightly, reflecting weak conditions in the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. However, there was a significant increase in orders for soil remediation services due to a large project. Orders for water treatment facilities, maintenance, and recurring contract-based services also increased.

          Total Group net sales for the General Industry segment amounted to 167,108 million yen, an increase of 3.9% year on year. Net

          sales for water treatment facilities rose due to progress on large projects in Japan. Net sales for water treatment chemicals increased only slightly due to weak market conditions in certain countries and regions. Net sales for maintenance and recurring contract-based services rose.

          In terms of profits, business profit stood at 20,376 million yen, an increase of 23.8% year on year, reflecting higher sales and a lower cost of sales ratio, driven by higher net sales for the CSV business with high added value. Operating profit totaled 20,741 million yen, up 31.6% year on year. This increase was driven primarily by foreign exchange gains from subsidiaries in the United States and Europe.



    2. Financial Condition

      Condition of Assets, Liabilities and Equity

      1. Total assets: 571,194 million yen, an increase of 22,245 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year

        Current assets totaled 236,424 million yen at the end of the third quarter, an increase of 15,474 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase of 12,694 million yen in trade and other receivables, and an increase of 2,896 million yen in cash and cash equivalents.

        Non-current assets totaled 334,769 million yen at the end of the third quarter, an increase of 6,771 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was chiefly attributable to an increase of 5,058 million yen in goodwill, when converted to yen, due to the weakening of the yen against foreign currencies, and an increase of 4,260 million yen in other financial assets. These increases outweighed a 2,922 million yen decrease in deferred tax assets.

      2. Liabilities: 218,455 million yen, an increase of 8,011 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year

        Current liabilities totaled 113,912 million yen at the end of the third quarter, a decrease of 18,655 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is chiefly attributable to decreases of 9,389 million yen in bonds and borrowings, 7,864 million yen in trade and other payables, and 2,103 million yen in income taxes payable. Bonds and borrowings decreased due to the redemption of bonds totaling 30,000 million yen, despite an increase primarily from the issuance of commercial paper.

        Non-current liabilities totaled 104,542 million yen at the end of the third quarter, an increase of 26,665 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase of 27,693 million yen in bonds and borrowings, primarily from the issuance of new bonds (totaling 10,000 million yen) and new long-term borrowings, which more than offset a decrease of 824 million yen in deferred tax liabilities.

      3. Equity: 352,738 million yen, an increase of 14,234 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year

        The increase in equity was primarily attributable to an increase of 12,516 million yen in other components of equity, mainly due to larger exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, reflecting the weakening of the yen against other currencies, and a rise of 16,384 million yen in retained earnings, primarily due to the posting of a profit attributable to owners of parent, which outweighed a decrease in equity caused by an increase of 14,923 million yen in treasury shares that followed purchases made in the market.

    3. Cash Flows

      Consolidated net cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter totaled 65,848 million yen, an increase of 2,896 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

      The various cash flows and related factors are outlined below.

      1. Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 totaled 36,114 million yen, a decrease of 28,989 million yen from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was chiefly due to inflows, including profit before tax of 40,010 million yen and depreciation, amortization and impairment losses of 26,168 million yen, partially offset by outflows that included an increase in trade and other receivables of 8,910 million yen, a decrease in trade and other payables of 5,044 million yen, and income taxes paid of 13,537 million yen.

      2. Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities totaled 24,500 million yen, a decrease of 13,749 million yen from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Cash was used mainly for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of 19,793 million yen, the purchase of intangible assets of 2,836 million yen, and the purchase of investment securities of 2,545 million yen.

      3. Cash Flows from Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities totaled 12,865 million yen, a decrease of 7,400 million yen from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Cash was used mainly for the redemption of bonds amounting to 30,000 million yen, the purchase of treasury shares of 15,162 million yen, dividends paid of 11,341 million yen, and repayments of lease liabilities of 4,266 million yen, which were partially offset by a net increase in short-term borrowings and commercial paper of 20,236 million yen, proceeds from long-term borrowings of 19,936 million yen, and proceeds from issuance of bonds of 9,954 million yen.

        The Group's basic policy is to constantly secure the liquidity necessary for business operations and establish a stable fundraising system. Short-term working capital, capital investment and other investments in growth fields depend chiefly on the Group's own funds, but the Group procures financing through bond markets and bank loans as needed. As of the end of the period under review, the Group has concluded commitment line contracts with two financial institutions (no borrowing executed and unexecuted borrowings within the commitment line was 20,000 million yen).

    4. Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026

      The Group considers that consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 will be consistent with the forecast for the full fiscal year stated in the "Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025" released on May 8, 2025.

      The business forecasts are made by the Company based on information available at the time of publication of this report and may differ from actual results due to changes in a range of factors.

    5. Notes to Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes on the Going-concern Assumption)

Not applicable

(Changes in the Method of Presentation)

(Condensed quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows)

"Purchase of investment securities," which was included in "Other" in cash flows from investing activities for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year, is presented separately for the first nine months of the fiscal year under review due to an increase in its materiality. To reflect this change in presentation, the Company has reclassified its condensed quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year.

The -592 million yen recorded in the "Other" item of cash flows from investing activities in the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year is now presented as -1 million yen in "purchase of investment securities" and -591 million yen in "Other."

"Purchase of treasury shares," which was included in "Other" in cash flows from financing activities for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year, is presented separately for the first nine months of the fiscal year under review due to an increase in its materiality. To reflect this change in presentation, the Company has reclassified its condensed quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year.

Consequently, the 28 million yen recorded in the "Other" item of cash flows from financing activities in the condensed quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year is now presented as -3 million yen in "purchase of treasury shares" and 31 million yen in "Other."

(Segment Information)

  1. Overview of Reportable Segments

    The Company's reportable segments are components of the Group about which separate financial information is available. These segments are subject to periodic review to enable the Company's board of directors to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance.

    The Group has Electronics Industry and General Industry as two reportable segments in order to formulate strategies based on an in-depth examination of the characteristics of each market and to expand solutions by combining diverse products and services, from the viewpoint of providing value to society and customers.



    (Changes in Reportable Segments)

    Following a reorganization that occurred in the fiscal year under review, Arcade Engineering GmbH and certain divisions of Kurita America Inc. (water treatment facilities business), which were previously classified into the General Industry segment, have been moved to the Electronics Industry segment. The figures for the same period of the previous fiscal year have been adjusted to reflect the changes in the reportable segments.
