While revenue grew in the general water treatment and electronics segments, operating profit decreased due to additional costs incurred on specific U.S. projects. Excluding foreign exchange effects and similar items, the company expects profit growth. The company continues to strengthen its long-term revenue base through expansion of the CSV business and a shift toward service models. The growth targets under the PSV-27 plan remain unchanged as the company pivots toward future growth.\n\n### Capital Policy and Financial Position\nThe share buyback resolved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2026 has been completed (shares acquired: 4,250,800 shares; acquisition cost: 34,999,427,900 yen).
