Dividend of JP¥5.00 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of JP¥5.00. Ex-date: 29th June 2026 Payment date: 3rd September 2026 Dividend yield will be 187%, which is higher than the industry average of 0.9%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (184% earnings payout ratio) nor is it covered by cash flows (353% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 19% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 104% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 62% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Duyuru • Feb 13
