Notice Regarding Revision of Earnings Guidance and Dividend Forecast (Dividend Increase) for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Details of the Revision to Earnings Guidance

For the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, net sales are expected to decrease by 0.92% from the previous forecast of 230,480 million yen to 228,370 million yen; however, operating income is projected to increase by 26.10% from 17,660 million yen to 22,270 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent is forecast to rise by 25.49% from 13,380 million yen to 16,790 million yen. Similarly, in the non-consolidated results, although net sales are expected to decline, significant profit growth is anticipated. This reflects, among other factors, an emphasis on profitability in order intake and appropriate reflection of increased material and labor costs in construction prices.

Revision of Dividend Forecast and Future Policy

Regarding dividends, based on the profit distribution policy, stable dividends will be continued while considering growth investments and strengthening the management foundation, targeting a dividend payout ratio of approximately 40%. In light of the revised earnings guidance, the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2026 has been increased by 23 yen from 92 yen per share to 115 yen, revising the annual dividend from 230 yen to 230 yen with the increase reflected as 115 yen.
