Kurita Water Industries Reports Mixed Fiscal Year Results

Kurita Water Industries ( (KTWIF) ) has released its Q4 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Kurita Water Industries presented to its investors.

Kurita Water Industries Ltd., a Tokyo-listed company, specializes in providing water treatment solutions across the electronics and general industries, leveraging its expertise in water knowledge and digital technology to address environmental and operational challenges.

In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Kurita Water Industries reported a modest increase in net sales by 6.3% to 408,888 million yen. However, the company faced a decline in operating profit by 24.1% to 31,275 million yen and a significant drop in profit attributable to owners of the parent by 30.4% to 20,305 million yen.

The company’s financial performance was impacted by impairment losses on fixed assets and goodwill, particularly in its U.S.-based subsidiaries, Pentagon Technologies Group, Inc., and Kurita Fracta Holdings, Inc. Despite these challenges, the electronics industry segment saw a 17.6% increase in orders, driven by large-scale projects in Europe and new ultrapure water supply projects. The general industry segment also experienced growth in orders and net sales, although water treatment chemicals sales were affected by weak manufacturing activity in certain regions.

Looking forward, Kurita Water Industries anticipates a continued moderate recovery in the global economy, with growth in the semiconductor market and domestic demand in Japan. The company projects an increase in net sales and operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, driven by progress in large-scale projects and the absence of impairment losses recorded in the previous year. Kurita aims to enhance its service offerings and expand its presence in key markets to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
