Lion Corporation (Code 4912): Consolidated Financial Statements

for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

1. Qualitative Information Concerning the Results of Operations for the First Quarter of the Current Fiscal Year (1) Consolidated Performance

Consolidated results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (January 1, 2026-March 31, 2026) are as follows. Net sales amounted to ¥99,205 million, a year-on-year increase of 5.3% (or an increase of 1.7% at constant currency excluding exchange rate fluctuations). Core operating income came to ¥6,015 million, up 13.8% compared with the previous fiscal year, and operating profit to ¥6,292 million, up 11.6% year on year. Profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent totaled ¥4,206 million, up 4.5% compared with the previous fiscal year.

The Lion Group is efficiently advancing measures in line with the three basic policies of Vision2030 2nd STAGE, its three-year medium-term management plan, namely, strengthening business portfolio management, strengthening the management base and generating dynamism, while responding to changes in its business environment.

The Company is continuing to pursue the top priority material issue of expanding its oral healthcare business both domestically and overseas. In Beauty Care, positioned as a Challenge for Growth business, we acquired all shares of PNB Consolidated Pty Ltd, a company that manufactures and sells natural beauty care products in Australia, and made it a wholly owned subsidiary as part of our efforts to create new business opportunities. In addition, we have steadily advanced the review of our business portfolio, including making the decision to transfer the shares of two subsidiaries in the Chemical Products business.
