Notice Regarding Dividends of Surplus (Interim Dividend) and Revision of Year-End Dividend Forecast

Details of Dividend Decision

Aisle Corporation has decided on an interim dividend of 32 yen per share with the record date of January 31, 2026, resulting in a total dividend amount of 800 million yen. This represents a 2 yen increase from the previous forecast of 30 yen and a significant rise from the prior term's actual 20 yen. Additionally, the year-end dividend forecast was revised to 34 yen per share, with a full-year dividend expected to be 66 yen, an increase of 6 yen from the previous forecast of 60 yen. The source of the dividend is retained earnings.

Reason for Dividend Revision and Future Outlook

The Company prioritizes shareholder returns and determines dividends while balancing the retention of internal reserves. Since the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2026 is expected to exceed the initial projection, the dividend forecast was reviewed. Going forward, the Company will continue to implement an appropriate dividend policy comprehensively considering return on equity and payout ratio. However, forecasts are based on current information and may fluctuate due to economic conditions and other factors.
