【RaiseNext】Change in Dividend Policy｜May 2026

Change in Dividend Policy

RaiseNext will maintain its policy of providing continuous and stable dividends aligned with earnings for shareholders, while newly adopting the shareholder capital dividend rate (DOE) as an indicator. Based on the dividend of 117 yen for the fiscal year ending March 2026 as a minimum, the policy has been revised to select the higher value between a payout ratio of 60% or a shareholder capital dividend rate of 7%. This change aims to clearly demonstrate its commitment to returning profits to shareholders. The new policy will be applied from the interim dividends for the fiscal year ending March 2027.

Impact on Investors and Future Outlook

This change in dividend policy aims to enhance transparency and stability in profit distribution to shareholders. While maintaining a payout ratio of 60%, the emphasis on shareholder capital dividend rate will strengthen long-term shareholder returns. Going forward, the company intends to continue stable dividends while responding flexibly to earnings performance, providing investors with greater clarity and confidence in dividend prospects.
