Notice Regarding Upward Revision of Full-Year Earnings Forecast and Revision of Year-End Dividend Forecast (Dividend Increase)

Regarding the Upward Revision of Earnings Forecast

Daiichi Jitsugyo Co., Ltd. has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026. Net sales are expected to decrease by 2.7% from the previous forecast of 225 billion yen to 219 billion yen. However, operating income is revised upward by 3.0% from 13.2 billion yen to 13.6 billion yen, ordinary income by 5.9% from 13.5 billion yen to 14.3 billion yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent by 3.1% from 9.6 billion yen to 9.9 billion yen. The non-consolidated earnings forecast also anticipates a decline in net sales, but an increase in ordinary income and net income. The main factors behind these revisions are improved profitability primarily in the Energy Solutions and Aviation & Infrastructure businesses, with minimal impact from foreign exchange fluctuations.

Regarding the Revision of Year-End Dividend Forecast (Dividend Increase)

Positioning shareholder returns as a key policy, the company implements appropriate dividends based on the higher of a 40% payout ratio or a 4.0% DOE, in line with its growth strategy 'V2030.' In response to the upward revision of earnings, the year-end dividend is increased by 3 yen from the previous forecast of 71 yen to 74 yen, resulting in an annual dividend of 125 yen. This is expected to strengthen profit returns to shareholders.
