Summary of results for FYE2026

Core earnings: JPY38.5 billion and EBITDA: JPY121.6 billion

Core earnings exceeded the forecast

Japan

International

Others

  • All segments achieved YoY growth in core earnings, driven by strong renovation sales, despite a significant YoY decline of over 10% in new housing demand

  • The LHT business saw higher sales of subsidy-eligible products, although a surge in aluminum prices in the second half from previously low levels impacted Q4 earnings

  • For LWT international business, revenue remained flat YoY, but core earnings improved significantly, driven by a successful shift to value-added products in Europe and IMEA(1). While housing markets remain sluggish in the Americas and China, the Americas turned profitable in core earnings in the month of March, reflecting the benefits of structural reforms

  • Other income and expenses increased YoY due to the recording of additional

    structural reform costs

  • Finance costs increased YoY due to losses on exchange differences

  1. IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa)

Difference from Initial Forecast for FYE 2026

Core earnings exceeded the forecast. While other expenses and finance costs increased, profit(1) was in line with the initial plan due to a decrease in tax expenses

    • Finance Income and Costs

      While interest income and expenses were in line with the plan, finance costs exceeded the initial plan due to the recognition of foreign exchange losses

    Outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2027

    Full-year forecast for FYE2027
    • Forecasting revenue of JPY1,600.0 billion, core earnings of JPY45.0 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY12.0 billion

      (The impact of the situation in the Middle East is excluded from the annual forecasts as it is difficult to

      reasonably factor in at this time)

    • Forecasting annual dividend of JPY90 per share

      Business environment and outlook
    • General: Closely monitor future developments regarding the impact of the situation in the Middle East (refer to p. 15)

    • LWT International Business:

      Americas: ✓The effects of SG&A reductions through structural reforms and the restructuring of sales organizations are expected to materialize during this fiscal year

      • The U.S. economy, which had shown signs of improvement, remains sluggish, and uncertainty persists for the recovery of the housing market

        Europe: ✓While pent-up demand is gradually emerging, a full-scale recovery of the housing market is

        projected to be delayed

        IMEA: ✓Despite disruptions caused by the situation in the Middle East, there is no significant impact at present. The potential impact on future revenue requires close monitoring

        APAC & China: ✓Focusing on expanding sales of solid GROHE products, despite the sluggish overall housing market

    • Japan Business: While new housing starts in Japan are forecasted to remain weak, we expect to offset the decline in new construction demand by promoting sales in the renovation market

Projecting an increase in Revenue and Profits(1) compared to the previous year. Forecasting annual dividend of JPY90 per share

    • Uncertain Business Environment: Market prices for crude oil, aluminum ingots, and others are soaring due to the prolonged conflict in the Middle East. We are currently assessing the negative cost impact on domestic operations and scrutinizing mitigation measures, including global production optimization and price revisions

    • Supply Constraint Risk: The outlook for raw material procurement (particularly resins, plastics, chemicals, and packaging materials) and product supply, as well as the potential for various cost increases, remains highly uncertain. At this stage, it is difficult to incorporate these factors into a financial forecast in a reasonable manner

Main Risk Factors

Response Directions

Manufacturing and Supply

・Soaring prices and supply concerns for petroleum-based raw materials

・Soaring aluminum prices

・Copper prices remaining at elevated levels, alongside rising costs and supply concerns for other MRO materials

・Additional price revisions

・Diversification of procurement sources

・Increasing the ratio of recycled scrap for aluminum

Cost Inflation and Supply Concerns

(Fuel and logistics costs)

・Soaring fuel and electricity costs at each plant

・Rising freight rates across ocean, land, and air transport

・Mitigating price fluctuation risks through hedging

・Flexibly determining shipping priorities

Product Lead Times

・Shipment delays and extended lead times for delivery commitment due to supply instability of certain parts and materials

・Mitigating the impact on revenue by prioritizing shipments of core products, despite delivery adjustments and supply concerns

Core earnings review of FYE2026 and outlook for FYE2027(1)

FYE2026

  • Japan: Price optimization covered increased aluminum and component costs

  • International: Core earnings increased due to higher sales in Europe and the Middle East and from the impact of structural reforms

FYE2027

  • Japan: Raw metals (aluminum/copper) and component costs continue to rise, but will be offset by price optimization and higher renovation sales

  • International: Core earnings increases due primarily to sales increases in Europe and the Middle East

  • Cost increases expected in Japan due to higher personnel and SG&A expenses

Approach to capital allocation

Policy remains unchanged

  • CAPEX: Continue capital investments (including new product development, rationalization, and IT investments) to

    strengthen competitiveness

  • Shareholder return: Basic policy is to pay stable dividends to shareholders over the long term, and to determine the amount of annual dividends based on the medium-term EBITDA level, as well as to buy back shares when appropriate

  • Improve financial position: Consider based on the business environment, financial condition, and cash flow status

    • Water Technology Business (LWT)

    • Housing Technology Business (LHT)

    • Living Business (Living)

  • Effective from Q1 FYE2026, established the new segment, "Living Business", by integrating the kitchen and vanity 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.

    • Americas

    • Europe

    • IMEA (India, Middle East & Africa)

    • Asia Pacific

    • China



Japan revenue and profits increased; in the int'l business, while revenue remained flat due to decreased sales in the U.S. and China, profit increased driven by higher revenues in Europe and IMEA

(1)



Revenue

  • Japan: Revenue increased YoY driven by strong renovation

    sales

  • Int'l revenue distribution ratio: 60.7%, down by 0.5pp YoY

    Core earnings

  • Japan: CE increased YoY, driven by higher renovation

    sales, the impact of price optimizations

  • Int'l(2): CE increased YoY due to profitable growth in Europe and IMEA, as well as a favorable product mix from strong sales of color products

  • Int'l CE distribution ratio: 48.0%, up by 2.9pp YoY

  • Ongoing challenges in the real estate sector continue, suppressing a recovery in consumer demand

  • GROHE brand achieved double-digit sales growth

  • Continued disciplined cost management in order to align the organization with current market situation to protect profitability

  • APAC revenue held steady vs. PY; growth in Vietnam and Indonesia was offset by declines in Thailand and the Philippines

  • Profitability improved due to a favorable product and brand mix

  • Revenue across all Middle East markets increased, driven by continued strong demand, in Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries alongside YoY gains in India and Turkey

  • Profitability primarily driven by a favorable product mix

  • Revenue grew, driven by higher sales volumes in key markets such as Germany, in addition to Eastern Europe

  • Sales of faucets and flushing systems remained strong; improved product mix drove profitability

  • While retail sales recovered, overall revenue declined due to continued market softness

  • Additional structural reforms was implemented in 4Q and have led to profitability improvements and are targeted to shift the product and sales channel mix
