Overview of Operating Results
Overview of Operating Results for the current fiscal year
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Japanese economy remained on a moderate recovery trend. While some downward pressure was observed due to the U.S. trade policies, corporate earnings and the employment/income environment remained firm, with a pickup in capital investment and personal consumption. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to developments in the Middle East and trends in the U.S. trade policy. While there are concerns over the impact of continued inflation on corporate earnings and personal consumption, various policy effects, such as government economic measures and an accommodative monetary environment, are expected to support a gradual recovery. Regarding housing investment, while government support for energy-saving homes continued to generate demand in the window renovation market, primarily for high-insulation products, the number of new housing starts decreased significantly. This was due to a reactionary decline following the temporary surge in demand prior to the April 2025 amendments to the Building Standards Act, as well as a decline in housing acquisition sentiment caused by surging house prices.
The global economy showed varying rates of recovery depending on the region. While European interest rates remained unchanged due to inflation concerns, the U.S. saw pressure for rate cuts, though rates remained paused recently. In growth markets such as the Middle East and India, domestic demand remained resilient. In the U.S., while overall growth remained steady, led by AI-related investments, housing investment recovery was delayed, and some softening was observed in the employment situation. The Chinese economy faced clearer concerns of a slowdown due to the prolonged slump in the real estate market. Looking ahead, it will be necessary to continue to closely monitor both the impact on energy prices caused by the resurgence of geopolitical risks-such as the unstable situation in the Middle East and the prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict-and the downside risks resulting from changes in the trade policies of major countries.
The financial results for LIXIL Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, "the Group") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, were as follows: In the Japan business, while revenue for new housing remained sluggish due to the low number of new housing starts, renovation demand for water-related products remained firm. In the international business, revenue improved despite continued weak demand in the U.S. and the real estate market slump in China. This improvement was driven by enhanced profitability in Europe, expanded growth in the Middle East and India, and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. As a result, revenue increased to 1,510,704 million yen (up 0.4% year-on-year).
In terms of profit, although costs increased due to sustained high prices for materials, energy, and components, core earnings increased to 38,500 million yen (up 22.9% year-on-year). This growth was primarily due to efforts toward sales price optimizations in Japan, improved sales in Europe, and the benefits of cost reductions from structural reforms. Operating profit decreased to 28,403 million yen (down 4.3% year-on-year) due to an increase in "other expenses" related to the implementation of additional structural reforms. Profit before tax from continuing operations also decreased to 15,708 million yen (down 22.0% year-on-year), mainly due to an increase in other expenses and higher finance costs resulting from foreign exchange losses.
Profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent significantly increased to 8,143 million yen (up 4.1 times year-on-year). This was due to a decrease in tax expenses resulting from a change in the corporate tax rate at an international subsidiary, which offset an increase in tax burden resulting from the poor performance of other consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview by segment is as follows:
Revenues by segment are before the elimination of intersegment transactions and core earnings are before the deduction of Company expenses.
Additionally, effective from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the reportable segments have been changed from two categories to three categories. Accordingly, comparisons with the previous fiscal year have been made based on the reclassified reportable segments. For details on these changes, please refer to "3. Consolidated Financial Statements (5) Notes related to Financial Statements(Segment Information).
Water Technology BusinessFor the Water Technology Business, which mainly offers water-related products, revenue increased to 811,052 million yen (up 0.8% year-on-year). In Japan, revenue for renovation-related products, such as sanitaryware and bathroom products, remained firm. Internationally, sales recovered in Europe across most categories, including faucets, and revenue expanded in the Middle East and India due to resilient demand. These factors offset a revenue decline in the U.S. following the transfer of the bathing business in the previous fiscal year and issues related to the continued real estate slump in China. Core earnings increased to 45,438 million yen (up 23.3% year-on-year), driven by renovation sales growth and price revisions in Japan, as well as the benefits of structural reforms and sales improvements in Europe and the Middle East.
Housing Technology BusinessFor the Housing Technology Business, which mainly offers housing-related building materials in Japan, revenue was 525,657 million yen (down 0.3% year-on-year). Sales of high-insulation renovation products, particularly windows, remained firm due to support by government subsidies for a low-carbon society.
Overall revenue, however, was weighed down by sluggish sales for new housing. Core earnings increased to 26,710 million yen (up 2.6% year-on-year), as the impact of lower revenue and costs associated with the withdrawal from the ceramic siding business were offset by price revisions and cost-reduction effects.
Living BusinessFor the Living Business, which mainly offers kitchens, washstands, and interior materials in Japan, revenue increased to 207,579 million yen (up 1.0% year-on-year). Performance was supported by solid renovation demand and continued strong kitchen sales in the new housing market. Core earnings increased to 7,842 million yen (up 8.5% year-on-year), as the impact of higher material costs was offset by price revision effects and increased sales of renovation-related products
(Notes)
Core earnings are calculated by deducting the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) from revenue.
The "Japan business" and "International business" are management-based classifications as defined in the Group's consolidated performance management, which differ in some respects from classifications based on country of location. Specifically, in the Water Technology Business, Housing Technology Business and Living Business certain international subsidiaries under the jurisdiction of the Japan business are included in the "Japan business" category.
Regarding the Japan outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2027, we expect the economic recovery to continue, supported by improving employment and income conditions, resilient corporate earnings, and capital investment in labor-saving and digital technologies. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to factors such as further shrinking demand for new housing caused by rising house prices, supply concerns for petroleum-derived materials and sustained high energy prices resulting from geopolitical risks in the Middle East, and trends in foreign exchange and inflation.
Internationally, despite uncertainties in monetary policies, we anticipate stable growth in Europe and resilient demand in growth markets like the Middle East and India. Conversely, there are concerns regarding global instability, including the U.S. trade policies such as reciprocal tariffs, and prolonged geopolitical risks from conflicts in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war. Risks of inflation from rising energy and resource prices, along with the continued real estate slump in China, also require careful monitoring.
Under these challenging conditions, the Group has proactively taken measures based on the priority issues of the "LIXIL Playbook". To restore international profitability-our most urgent task-we continue to focus on shifting toward higher-margin products and distribution channels, reorganizing our business portfolio, and rebuilding our supply chain, while continuing to implement structural reforms.
To achieve long-term growth, we aim to expand differentiated products, while simultaneously creating a positive social and environmental impact. We will continue our transformation into an agile, entrepreneurial organization by accelerating digitalization and fostering an inclusive corporate culture to drive innovation.
The results of our efforts to strengthen the business foundation are becoming visible, and our path to long-term growth remains unchanged. We are committed to increasing value for all stakeholders and advancing our corporate purpose of making better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere.
Reflecting the above business environment and management strategy, the Company forecasts the following for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027: Revenue of 1,600.0 billion yen (up 5.9% year-on-year), core earnings of 45.0 billion yen (up 16.9% year-on-year), operating profit of 37.5 billion yen (up 32.0% year-on-year), profit before tax of 25.0 billion yen (up 59.2% year-on-year), profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent of 12.0 billion yen (up 47.4% year-on-year)
Based on the policy of consistent and stable shareholder returns, the Company plans to pay an annual dividend of 90 yen per share, consisting of interim and year-end dividends of 45 yen each for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the same as in the previous fiscal year.
The above outlook is based on information available as of the date of publication and involves risks and uncertainties. Uncertainties-such as the rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East, resulting supply chain disruptions causing difficulties in material procurement, surging crude oil prices, and rising prices for petroleum-derived raw materials-have not been factored into this earnings forecast, as it is currently difficult to reasonably calculate their impact. Consequently, actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors.
Overview of Financial Position and Cash Flows for the current fiscal year
Total assets as of March 31, 2026, increased by 53,123 million yen to 1,883,927 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year-end.
Current assets: Increased by 17,708 million yen to 718,949 million yen. This was driven by foreign exchange translation and an increase in inventories due to price hikes and efforts to secure adequate stocks to avoid supply risks. The increase came, despite a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Non-current assets: Increased by 35,415 million yen to 1,164,978 million yen. This was due primarily to the impact of foreign exchange translation on goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment, which offset a decrease in other financial assets following the sale of certain cross-shareholdings.
Total equity was 668,361 million yen, and the ratio of equity attributable to owners of the parent was 35.3% (an increase of 1.6 percentage points from the previous fiscal year-end).
The cash flow status for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, was as follows. The amounts are the sum of cash flows, including discontinued operations.
Net cash provided by operating activities was 82,689 million yen (down 17,313 million yen year-on-year). Major factors included a decrease associated with changes in working capital (including changes related to trade and other receivables, inventories, and trade and other payables).
Net cash used in investing activities was 23,593 million yen (down 4,534 million yen year-on-year). Major factors included purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with capital investments, which were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of cross-shareholdings.
Net cash used in financing activities was 72,468 million yen (down 2 million yen year-on-year). Factors for the decrease in outflow included proactive procurement and repayment of interest-bearing debt, both short-term and long-term, as well as the payment of dividends and lease liabilities.
As a result, cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, totaled 115,624 million yen (down 7,903 million yen from the previous fiscal year end), after accounting for exchange rate differences and other factors.

(Segment Information)
Description of Reportable Segments
The Group's reportable segments are those for which discrete financial information is available among the Group's constituent units and regular evaluation by the Board of Directors is performed in order to decide how resources are allocated and performance is assessed.
The Group is managed based on three reportable segments consisting of the "Water Technology Business" , the "Housing Technology Business" and the "Living Business" with the performance of their respective business units reported to the Board of Executive Officers or Board of Directors.
The "Water Technology Business" includes manufacturing and sales of sanitaryware, faucets, bathroom fixtures, and other items. The "Housing Technology Business" includes manufacturing and sales of sashes, doors, shutters, curtain walls, and other items and provides services such as proposals for housing solutions and management of real estate. The "Living Business" includes manufacturing and sales of kitchen, vanity and wooden interior materials.
Change in reporting segment classification
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Group reported in two segments, which include "Water Technology Business" and "Housing Technology Business". However, from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the Group has decided to change to report in three segments, which include "Water Technology Business", "Housing Technology Business", and "Living Business".
The reason for the reporting segments change is that the Group has established the new segment, "Living Business", by integrating the kitchen and washstand cabinet unit business from the "Water Technology Business" and the wooden interior materials business from the "Housing Technology Business". These businesses share many similarities in terms of products, manufacturing processes, and business models. This integration is part of the Group's focus on its strategic initiative to improve profitability of the Japan business and strengthen the Group's business structure, while also providing new value to end users.
As a change, kitchen and washstand cabinet unit business, previously included in the "Water Technology Business," and the wooden interior materials business, previously included in the "Housing Technology Business," will be classified under the "Living Business" in the new segments.
The segment information for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, is presented based on the new reportable segments classification.
Methods of measurement for the amounts of revenue and profit or loss for each reportable segment The accounting policies of each reportable segment are consistent with those for the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements. Profit or loss for reportable segments is presented on the basis of core earnings or losses. Intersegment revenue or transfers are determined based on market prices.
