  2. Reason for the decision

As the Company considers the return of profit to its shareholders as one of its important management issues, the Company aims to maintain stable dividends while comprehensively taking into account consolidated business performance, ROE, DOE, retained earnings for future business operation and corporate structure fortification, etc. and striving to improve the dividend level.

As for the year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, it has been set at 19.00 yen, which is a 6.00 yen increase from the latest forecast. For the purpose of returning more profit to shareholders, we comprehensively consider the record operating income achieved for the fifth consecutive fiscal year, financial position for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and the future business environment, etc.

The reason is as follows.The Company implemented a 4-for-1 common stock split effective on October 1, 2024. As regards dividends per share, the 2nd quarter-end dividends for the year ended March 31, 2025 are applied to shares held prior to the stock split, while the fisical year-end dividends for the year ended March 31, 2025 are applied shares held after the stock split. If the stock split were taken into account, the total annual dividend would be 24.00 yen per share.
