Notice of Revision (Increase) to Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast and Year-End Dividend Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Summary of Earnings Forecast Revision

The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 announced today has been revised upward because cargo handling volume in the logistics business exceeded initial expectations and remained robust, new project wins and the launches of new facilities proceeded smoothly, and cost-reduction measures were effective, leading to an upward revision of operating income. In addition, increases in interest and dividend income and reduced interest expense due to improved cash management contributed to the upward revision of the full-year outlook. The Company also expects to exceed the operating income target of the Medium-Term Management Plan 2022.

Dividend Policy and Revision of Year-End Dividend

The year-end dividend forecast has been raised, with annual dividend expected to be 27.00 yen, interim 52.00 yen, and year-end 52.00 yen. This revision aligns with the Medium-Term Management Plan's aim of a payout ratio of around 30%, adjusting the consolidated payout ratio for the full year to approximately 30%. The results are brought closer to the fiscal year ending March 2026 performance.
