LIXIL CORPORATION reported largely flat revenue of ¥1,138.5 billion for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 2026, down 0.2% year-on-year, but achieved a 17.5% increase in core earnings to ¥36.5 billion and stronger profitability from continuing operations. Profit attributable to owners of the parent from continuing operations rose 7.2% to ¥12.4 billion, while total comprehensive income surged, supporting a higher equity base and an equity ratio of 34.4%. The company maintained its dividend forecast at an annual total of ¥90 per share and left its full-year guidance unchanged, targeting modest revenue growth and a sharp rebound in profit for the year, including a significant improvement in results from discontinued operations. These figures signal progress in margin improvement and cost control despite top-line stagnation, underpinning stable shareholder returns and suggesting a gradual strengthening of LIXIL’s financial position in a challenging market environment.
