Kinden Corporation Announces Dividend for Year Ending March 31, 2025; Provides Dividend Guidance for Second Quarter and Full Year of 2026 KINDEN CORPORATION announced that it has resolved at a meeting of its Board of Directors held on April 25, 2025 to pay dividends of surplus with a record date of March 31, 2025. This matter is scheduled to be officially decided upon approval at the 111th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on June 25, 2025. The company has announced an ordinary dividend of JPY 45 per share as compared to previous guidance of JPY 37 per share. Total amount of dividend is JPY 9,937 million. Effective Date is June 26, 2025. Record date is March 31, 2025. Source of dividends is retained earnings.
For the second quarter of 2026, the company expects to pay JPY 50 per share.
For fiscal year end of 2026, the company expects to pay JPY 50 per share.
Reason: The Company will actively expand the foundation of its business, mainly by leveraging human resources, a source of competitiveness, from a long-term perspective. By doing so, they will seek to achieve sustainable growth and development. They expect that these efforts will contribute to long-term benefits for their stakeholders. They consider the distribution of profits to shareholders as one of their important management issues in the future as well. They also maintain the fundamental policy of placing top priority on stable and sustainable dividends for shareholders, with a dividend policy that also takes into account business results and financial performance. In addition, they have an interim dividend system in place to increase opportunities to distribute profits and aim to achieve shareholder-focused management by, for example, paying commemorative dividends when they reach a milestone or celebrate an anniversary. They pay interim dividends equal to half the amount of expected annual dividends, which are calculated based on full-year earnings forecasts. Meanwhile, they determine the amount of year-end dividends by subtracting the amount of interim dividends from the amount of annual dividends, which are calculated based on actual business results confirmed at fiscal year-end. Based on the aforementioned basic policy and the Company's capital policy, they had previously announced a year-end dividend of JPY 42 per share (ordinary dividend of JPY 37 per share and an 80th anniversary commemorative dividend of JPY 5 per share) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. However, taking into account the performance of the current fiscal year and other factors, they have decided to increase the dividend by an additional JPY 8 per share,resulting in a total dividend of JPY 50 per share (ordinary dividend of JPY 45 per share and an 80th anniversary commemorative dividend of JPY 5 per share). As a result, the full-year dividend for the current fiscal year will be JPY 90 per share (ordinary dividend of JPY 80 and an 80th anniversary commemorative dividend of JPY 10), including an interim dividend of JPY 40 (ordinary dividend of JPY 35 and an 80th anniversary commemorative dividend of JPY 5). They plan to pay an annual dividend of JPY 100 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. This will include an interim dividend of JPY 50 and a year-end dividend of JPY 50. Annonce • Mar 26
