AIT Corporation Revises Dividend Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending February 28, 2026 AIT Corporation revised dividend guidance for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. For the year, the company now expects to pay dividend of JPY 55.00 per share against previous guidance of JPY 45.00 per share.
Reason for the Revision The AIT Group recognizes the return of profits to shareholders as an important management priority. It is the company's basic policy to provide dividends twice a year, at the interim and fiscal year-end, on a stable and consistent basis, while taking into comprehensive consideration consolidated results of operations for each fiscal period, dividend payout ratio, and the need to retain earnings for future business development in Japan and overseas as well as for strengthening management foundation. Under this policy, the Company has decided to revise the year-end dividend forecast to JPY 55 per share, representing an increase of JPY 10 from the previous forecast of JPY 45 per share, taking into account the progress of consolidated operating results, consolidated financial position, and future business developments, in order to further enhance shareholder returns through dividends and meet shareholders' expectations.
