AI要約

Key points of performance

Solid demand in the valve business, anticipated contributions from the acquired Vites Group, and high selling prices in the metal solutions business driven by copper price increases are expected to lift profitability. As a result, total sales and each profit metric are expected to exceed prior forecasts, leading to an upward revision of the full-year results.

Dividend policy and shareholder returns

Dividend forecast has been revised to include an interim dividend of 33 yen and an annual total of 62 yen. The consolidated payout ratio is targeted around 40.2%, and internal reserves will be strengthened to meet future capital expenditure, development investment, and M&A needs, while prioritizing the sustainability and stability of dividends.
