Reasons and Details for Revision of Earnings Guidance
The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026 has been revised upward. The main reasons are increases in membership numbers and improved merchandise sales to members during the interim consolidated accounting period (September 2025 to February 2026), which led to record-high net sales and profit figures. Based on this, net sales were revised to 42,300 million yen (previous forecast: 41,300 million yen), operating income to 7,700 million yen (previous forecast: 7,300 million yen), and net income attributable to owners of parent to 4,850 million yen (previous forecast: 4,700 million yen).
Revision of Dividend Forecast and Shareholder Return Policy
The dividend forecast has also been revised, with the year-end dividend increased by 5 yen as a 20th-anniversary commemorative dividend for the Curves chain, resulting in a year-end dividend of 20 yen (10 yen ordinary dividend + 10 yen commemorative dividend), and an annual dividend expected to be 30 yen. This reflects the policy to aim for a consolidated payout ratio of 50% and incorporates the upward revision of earnings guidance. This marks a significant increase of 13 yen over the previous fiscal year’s annual dividend of 17 yen.
