Today we announced Q3 earnings results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. LIXIL CEO Kinya Seto commented, “In the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025, we achieved year-on-year increases in revenue and core earnings despite challenging business conditions both in Japan and international markets. Profitability in our water technology business in Japan improved significantly due to growth in renovation sales, although new housing starts remained weak. Sales of high-insulation windows also remained robust. In the international business, although demand remained sluggish except for some growth markets, we achieved increased revenue and profit by improving our market share in Europe and steadily expanding sales in the Middle East and India. We have continued to implement structural reforms in our international business and optimize our business portfolio to improve profitability. In line with the 'LIXIL Playbook,' we will focus our resources and investments in areas where we can demonstrate our strengths, concentrating on the development of high-value-added, differentiated products and seizing new business opportunities.” Learn more in today's press release: https://lnkd.in/eRSMwepc #LIXIL #FYE25 #Financialresults #Earnings
