KEY HIGHLIGHTS 1Summary of results for the fiscal year ended March 2025
Revenue and profits increased year-on-year for Q4 (3 months) FYE2025
For the Japan business, a decline in new housing starts continued to impact both LWT and LHT. LWT's renovation sales remained strong, however, while LHT's sales, though below plan, still grew year-on-year
For the LWT international business, revenue and core earnings increased year-on-year due to revenue increases in Europe and growth in the Middle East and India
Ongoing international structural reforms included the completion of a transfer of the US bathing business and the closure of a plant in Thailand
Revenue and profits increased for Q4 (12 months) FYE2025
For Japan, new housing starts were lower than forecast in our initial plan. LWT performed well, however, offsetting decreased sales in new housing with increased renovation sales. LHT's performance was below plan due to lower-than-expected sales for window renovations
For the LWT international business, revenue and core earnings increased year-on-year due to improved sales in Europe and the Middle East as well as the positive impact of structural reforms. Revenue and core earnings declined in the Americas from continued weak demand and the impact of a system outage from an unauthorized security access by a third-party
Operating cash flow has continued to improve, and free cash flow increased by JPY53.8billion year-on-year
KEY HIGHLIGHTS 2Outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2026
Full-year forecast for FYE2026
Forecasting revenue of JPY1,540.0 billion, core earnings of JPY35.0 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY8.0 billion
Forecasting annual dividend of JPY90 per share
Business environment and outlook
LWT international business:
While the tariff policies of the US administration are expected to have various impacts, both positive and negative, we are currently assuming a neutral impact
We anticipate the global recession in housing equipment and building materials, driven by high interest rates and rising labor costs, will continue in FYE2026
The rationalization benefits from the sale of the US bathing business are expected to materialize in FYE2027 due to the continuation of transition services
The European business may see an improved business environment due to Germany's fiscal policy shift and the potential resolution of conflicts, although a full recovery is forecasted for FYE2027
The Middle East and India (IMEA) are expected to contribute to our sales, supported by robust demand
Japan business: New housing starts in Japan are expected to be weak for some time, but renovation business is expected to remain strong
Some structural reforms will continue into FYE2026

Initiatives to achieve the target p.14 Growth image by segment p.15
Equivalent to "Operating profit" of JGAAP
Reasons for focus
Despite the global recession in housing equipment, we have been able to generate cash
To improve core earnings, we need to streamline underperforming assets and ensure we have the product strength to reliably capture future pent-up demand in Europe and the US
Being unable to recognize US deferred tax assets results in no tax benefit, increasing our tax burden
In Japan, we must address the expected further decline in new housing starts
Priority focus areas for swift resolution of the above:
US business turnaround
Transform the cost structure by streamlining the bathing business and others
Improve the profitability of the sanitaryware business by capitalizing on the reduced inflow of low-priced products from China
Expand sales and drive growth through the partnership with ABG
Growth of the GROHE brand
Focus on core and growth markets such as Europe and the Middle East
Continuously introduce new products
Strengthen the renovation business in Japan
Improve productivity in the renovation business
Continuously introduce new products
Expand sales of heat insulation and security products
Living business to offer comprehensive solutions
Accelerate development of differentiated products for global markets
Most critical in the long term
INITAITIVES TO ACHIEVE THE TARGET
We aim to achieve core earnings margin of 6.5% for FYE2028 through the following initiatives
FYE2026

The Japan business performed steadily, supported by post-COVID-19 renovation demand, despite being affected by rising raw material prices and difficulties in procuring parts
International business recovered from the disruptions caused by COVID-19, with solid growth in sales and profits across all regions
Overall profit was driven by the profitability of the international business
Japan
CE margin:
5.2%
The significant deterioration in LWT international business's core earnings is primarily due to the weak international markets since FYE2024. In FYE2025, the European business saw a recovery in sales
Growth markets such as the Middle East and India remain robust
The Japanese market maintains generally stable profitability and makes a significant contribution to overall company profits
Japan
CE margin:

We plan to increase the core earnings margin through further sales growth in Europe, our primary revenue source
Steadily capture growth markets such as the Middle East, India, and Vietnam
Improve profitability in the Japanese market through timely price optimizations and expanded sales of new and sustainable products
Enhance company-wide productivity through AI utilization
VARIABLE FACTORS FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS 16The implementation of reciprocal tariffs by the US administration suggests a high likelihood of continued uncertainty in the short term
Regarding our medium- to long-term direction, we will continue to monitor future developments and adjust our strategies as necessary
Policies of the US administration
The future trends of reciprocal tariffs may impact our business (Mexican-origin products, such as ceramics and some faucets, are currently exempted from import duties)
Further decline in housing demand due to progressing inflation in the US. On the other hand, there is a possibility that economic stimulus measures will be implemented
Recovery of European Economy
The economic impact of lower interest rates in Europe and the shift towards expansionary fiscal policy in Germany and other countries is expected to be realized in the current fiscal year. Large pent-up demand is expected going forward
Interest rates
Interest rate cuts are expected to continue in Europe and the US. However, in the US, it will be dependent on inflation trends
In Japan, interest rate hikes are anticipated, but the immediate impact on demand is expected to be minimal. The impact of increase in interest payment for our company is also expected to be limited
Subsidy for renovation products to create better heat-insulation
Entering its third year, we expect subsidies, including those for water-related areas, to continue in the medium to long term to achieve a low-carbon society
Adoption of AI
A field in which our company is focusing its development efforts. We expect to accelerate technological advancements and their application on-site
Expand sales of new products with social and environmental impact

Housing Technology Business (LHT)
Note: Previously, the international regional performance of the Water Technology Business (LWT) was disclosed in four regions, "Americas," "EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa)," "China," and "Asia Pacific." However, in light of recent changes in the business environment and the increasing importance of India and the Middle East, which are experiencing particularly significant growth, the disclosure regions will be changed to the following five:
Americas

CHANGE IN REPORTING SEGMENT 26
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 LIXIL's focus on its strategic initiative to improve profitability of the Japan business and strengthen its business structure, while also providing new value to end users

Contribute to a Low-Carbon Society and Circular Economy
Achieved recycling of FRP, which has historically been difficult to recycle
Developed the industry's first local production and consumption-based resource recycling system for waste plastics, which have historically been difficult to recycle(2)
Tsu City provides its household plastic packaging waste to LIXIL. LIXIL then processes this waste into the raw material for producing the sustainable material, revia
This partnership fosters a sustainable circular economy in Tsu City and contributes to realizing carbon neutrality
News release https://newsroom.lixil.com/ja/2025032803(JP only)
Company research as of February 2025
In January 2025, LIXIL commenced the recycling of FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) used in unit bathtubs through a collaboration with HIROKOU Co., Ltd. Most FRP was put in landfills or incinerated; LIXIL used thermal recycling, but with the new program, about half of the factory's waste FRP can now be recycled(3)
Also, LIXIL successfully developed a new technology to recycle waste FRP as raw material for plastering walls. This enables the utilization of FRP as a sustainable material(4)
