Details and Rationale for the Dividend
Kewpie Corporation has resolved a year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025, of 32 yen per share (ordinary dividend 27 yen, commemorative dividend of 5 yen celebrating the 100th anniversary of Kewpie Mayonnaise). This brings the total annual dividend to 64 yen, including the interim dividend of 32 yen, composed of 54 yen ordinary dividend and 10 yen commemorative dividend. The basic policy is to pursue medium-to-long-term growth investment alongside appropriate shareholder returns, aiming to progressively increase the annual dividend with a floor of 54 yen per share based on the medium-term management plan, targeting a consolidated total shareholder return ratio of over 50% cumulatively over four years.
Shareholder Return Policy and Future Outlook
The company distributes dividends twice annually—interim and year-end—by resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Companies Act. This dividend decision aligns with the medium-term management plan policy, and the company intends to continue stable and incremental dividend increases in the future. The implementation of the commemorative dividend strengthens shareholder returns, offering investors expectations for continued dividend growth.
