AI要約
Points of the Earnings Guidance Revision
An increase in student enrollment and stronger-than-expected attendance at intensive summer training courses are expected to drive higher-than-anticipated net sales and profits, leading to upward revisions of sales and all profit forecasts. Cost reviews and restraint in personnel expenses are expected to reduce cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, resulting in an upward revision of the full-year earnings guidance.
Dividend Policy and Shareholder Returns
An annual dividend of 85 yen is expected. The breakdown is 30 yen at the end of the second quarter and 55 yen at year-end, with the year-end dividend increased by 10 yen from the previous forecast. The company aims for a dividend payout ratio of 50% or higher as set out in the medium-term plan, and while maintaining stable dividends as the basic policy, it will consider raising the dividend level.
