(Correction: Numerical Data Correction) Partial Correction Regarding “Notice of Upward Revision of Full-Year Earnings Guidance and Revision of Year-End Dividend Forecast (Increase)”

Overview of Correction

A partial error was found in the "Notice of Upward Revision of Full-Year Earnings Guidance and Revision of Year-End Dividend Forecast (Increase)" announced on April 24, 2026, prompting this correction. The correction pertains to the date of the previous dividend forecast publication, which was amended from November 6, 2026 to November 6, 2025. The dividend amounts themselves remain unchanged, with the annual dividend at 125.00 yen (previously 122.00 yen) and the second quarter-end dividend at 74.00 yen (previously 71.00 yen).

Impact on Investors and Future Outlook

This correction mainly addresses a typographical error in the publication date, while the forecasted dividend increase remains intact. The upward revision of the annual dividend signals a strengthened shareholder return policy, which is positive news for investors. It is also noted that last fiscal year's year-end dividend included a special dividend of 8.00 yen. Appropriate information disclosure in line with future earnings trends is expected.
