Notice Regarding Revision of Consolidated Earnings Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 and Revision of Surplus Dividends (Interim Dividend) and Year-end Dividend Forecast

Overview of Earnings and Forecast Revisions

We have revised upward our consolidated earnings forecast for the current fiscal year. Net sales are expected to be 50,000 hundred million yen, operating income 18,000 hundred million yen, ordinary income 17,900 hundred million yen, net income attributable to owners of parent 12,500 million yen, and earnings per share 1,062.89 yen. The interim dividend is revised to 165 yen and the year-end dividend is also revised to 165 yen, resulting in an annual dividend of 330 yen. This represents a significant improvement compared with the previous forecast.

Dividend Policy and Impact on Shareholder Returns

Both the interim and year-end dividends represent an increase of 50 yen per share, resulting in a substantial year-on-year dividend increase. The total dividend amount is scheduled to be 1,940 million yen (interim dividend payment date: December 7, 2026), and we intend to maintain a stable dividend level while considering the balance between financial condition and internal reserves.
