Kurita Water Industries ( (JP:6370) ) has issued an announcement.

Kurita Water Industries reported solid top-line and profit growth for the fiscal year ending March 2026 from continuing operations, with orders rising 6.7% to ¥461.9 billion and net sales up 3.2% to ¥421.8 billion. Business profit increased 14.2% to ¥56.2 billion, lifting the business profit margin to 13.3%, while operating profit grew 17.7%, underscoring improved profitability despite weaker bottom-line metrics.

Profit attributable to owners of the parent fell 21.4% to ¥16.0 billion and basic earnings per share declined nearly 20%, reflecting higher other expenses including impairment losses and a resulting drag on return on equity and ROIC. Even so, results exceeded earlier profit forecasts, suggesting operational momentum in Kurita’s core water treatment business, though shareholders face near-term pressure from lower earnings and returns.
