of Shareholder Return Policies\nOita Bank has revisited its shareholder return policy against the backdrop of strengthening its long-term and stable management foundation to enhance shareholder benefits. Specifically, it has increased its total payout ratio from the previous 30% or more to over 35%, and set a target dividend payout ratio of 30% or more. This clearly demonstrates a more proactive approach to returning profits to shareholders. The change is scheduled to be implemented from FY2026 (fiscal year ending March 2027).\n\n### FY2026 Dividend Forecast and Future Outlook\nThe FY2026 dividend forecast is set at 50 yen per share, with an actual dividend of 250 yen assuming stock splits. Compared to the previous year, this represents an increase of 80 yen, showing a commitment to continuing stable dividends while reinforcing shareholder returns in line with profit growth. This approach aims to meet shareholder expectations and further strengthen financial soundness.","jir_financial_highlights":"Dividend forecast for FY2026 (fiscal year ending March 2027): 50 yen (Newly forecasted dividend)\nTotal payout ratio: over 35% (Increase)\nPayout ratio: over 30% (Maintain)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#OitaBank, #IRRelated, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"FY2026 dividend forecast: 50 yen (250 yen considering stock splits)\nTotal payout ratio: over 35%\nPayout ratio: over 30%","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Oita Bank\u3011Review of Shareholder Return Policies and Dividend Increase\uff5c2026","jir_meta_description":"Oita Bank has revised its shareholder return policies, increasing the FY2026 dividend forecast to 50 yen.
