Overview of Dividend Forecast Revision

Sparx Group Co., Ltd. resolved to increase the year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 by 22.0 yen from 68.0 yen per share to 90.0 yen per share.

This dividend increase is the result of careful consideration of future growth investment plans and capital allocation, and it is scheduled to be formally implemented following the resolution at the 37th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in June 2026. From the next fiscal year onward, the company will continue to strive for sustainable growth and expanded shareholder returns based on stable core earnings growth.
