Key Takeaways

F3/26 OP was ¥79.1bn (down 1.8% YoY), in line with consensus of ¥79.5bn and

our estimate of ¥78.5bn.

F3/27 company OP forecast is ¥81.0bn, below consensus of ¥84.3bn and our

estimate of ¥82.5bn.

F3/27 dividend guidance is ¥146 (¥130 in the previous year), and dividend policy

changed to DOE 10% (previously 8%). The company announced a ¥10bn share

buyback.

Demand in the Americas remains subdued across both residential and non-

residential segments (especially residential).

Domestic demand remains solid. F3/26 order intake was ¥305bn (up 3.7% YoY),

and the F3/27 plan is ¥322.2bn (up 5.6%).

Implications for the share price: Neutral; we view the DOE policy change positively,

but both actuals and guidance contained no surprises. Demand in the Americas,

which we have been watching closely, remains sluggish in both residential and non-

residential. Given current demand trends there, we expect it will remain difficult to
