However, operating income faced headwinds from material costs and a decline in overseas sales volume. The Metal Solution Business helped support overall profitability by securing price margins from copper price gains. By segment, valve business sales were 76,073 million yen and Metal Solution Business sales were 20,993 million yen. The scope was broadened to include five newly consolidated companies, including 'V-Tex'.\n\n### Outlook and capital allocation\nFull-year consolidated earnings guidance and dividend outlook have been revised following the February 12, 2026 update. At the interim period end, financing activities included a significant increase in short-term borrowings, but monetization progressed, and further funding plans (new borrowings, use of funds for capital expenditures) have been disclosed. Going forward, management will monitor the integration effects across segments and the impact of rising raw material costs, aiming to improve profitability and stabilize cash flow.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales: 98,232 \u767e\u4e07\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u671f\u6bd4 13.7%\u5897)\nOperating income: 8,143 \u767e\u4e07\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u671f\u6bd4 2.6%\u5897)\nOrdinary income: 8,654 \u767e\u4e07\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u671f\u6bd4 3.4%\u5897)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent (interim): 6,549 \u767e\u4e07\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u671f\u6bd4 9.7%\u5897)\nEarnings per share (interim): 75.30 \u5186 (\uff0d)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Kits, #FinancialResults, #BySegment, #InterimFinancialResults","jir_key_figures":"Sales: 98,232 \u767e\u4e07\u5186\nOperating income: 8,143 \u767e\u4e07\u5186\nOrdinary income: 8,654 \u767e\u4e07\u5186","jir_meta_title":"Kits 2026 Interim (Ending December) Financial Results: Sales 98,232 million yen, Net Income 65,490 million yen","jir_meta_description":"Highlights of Kits' 2026 interim (ending December) financial results.
