Reason for performance revision
For the full-year consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, both net sales and operating income exceeded the previous forecast, primarily due to higher-than-expected demand for electronics-related products such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, particularly in the Chinese market.
Ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of the parent also surpassed the previous forecast, reflecting not only the increase in operating income but also the recording of foreign exchange gains resulting from a significant depreciation of the yen.

Reasons
We regard the distribution of profits to shareholders as one of our most important management issues, and our basic policy is to continue to pay stable dividends, taking into consideration the overall level of business performance and other factors.
In addition, the "Medium-Term Management Plan 2026" sets a target of a total return ratio of 50% or more and a dividend on equity (DOE) ratio of 2.5% as a lower limit for dividends.
Based on this policy and in consideration of the business performance and financial position for the fiscal year, the Company has decided to increase the year-end dividend by 1.5 yen from the previous forecast, resulting in a year-end dividend of 15.5 yen per share. Together with the interim dividend of 14.0 yen per share, the total annual dividend will be 29.5 yen per share.
This matter will be implemented following the resolution at our 77th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled for Jun 26, 2026.
