Notice Regarding Dividend of Residual Funds | July 21, 2026

Dividend Details

Our company has decided on a dividend of 9.00 yen per share for the fiscal year ending December 2026, representing a 50% reduction from the previous year's 18.00 yen. The minimum dividend is set at 18 yen, and while we will continue to prioritize shareholder returns, dividend amounts may be adjusted according to profit circumstances. The source of dividends is retained earnings, aiming to sustain ongoing shareholder returns.

Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook

The reduction in dividends is driven by fluctuations in profits and changes in the management environment, which may result in a short-term decrease in shareholder income. However, since a minimum dividend of 18 yen is guaranteed, shareholders are assured of receiving at least that amount, and the long-term shareholder return policy remains intact. Going forward, dividend amounts will be reviewed based on profit conditions to enhance shareholder value.
