Notice Regarding Distribution of Surplus (Interim Dividend)

Dividend Policy and Implementation

The Company has resolved an interim dividend with a record date of September 30, 2026. The dividend is 90 yen per share, totaling 1,090 million yen. The source of the dividend is retained earnings, and the basic policy is to provide stable and continuous dividends while comprehensively considering the financial position and profit level. During the period of the 4th Medium-Term Management Plan, the Company will promote shareholder returns that balance growth investment with capital costs and share price considerations, targeting a total shareholder return ratio of 100% or more over three years, and setting an annual per-share floor of 170 yen.

Future Shareholder Returns and Interim Dividend Outlook

The interim dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is expected to be 90 yen per share based on the above policy. However, if net income for the period fluctuates significantly due to extraordinary gains or losses or other special factors, the amount of shareholder returns may be revised. The annual dividend breakdown assumes a total of 180 yen for the fiscal year ending March 2027 by record dates (separate commemorative dividends, if any, will be stated separately).
