Notice Regarding Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast and Year-End Dividend Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

Details of the Revised Earnings Forecast

The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 has been revised to net sales of 121,000 million yen (8.0% increase from previous forecast), operating income of 8,500 million yen (26.9% increase), ordinary income of 11,200 million yen (34.9% increase), and net income attributable to owners of parent of 10,000 million yen (66.7% increase). This reflects the fact that customers' automobile production did not decline as expected, the overseas subsidiaries’ performance exceeded assumptions due to the progressing yen depreciation in foreign exchange trends, and the recording of special gains from the partial sale of investment securities.

Revision of Dividend Forecast and Future Policy

The year-end dividend forecast has been increased by 1 yen from the previous forecast of 90 yen to 91 yen, based on the basic policy of maintaining a consolidated dividend on equity (DOE) of approximately 8% annually. This results in an expected annual dividend of 182 yen. This forecast is made considering the stock split (one share split into two shares), demonstrating a commitment to continue stable profit returns.
