TOKYO — Arealink Co., Ltd. announced on Sunday that it has decided to increase its dividend payout for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, following a resolution made during a board meeting held today. The company plans to distribute this increased dividend amounting to ¥686 million on March 25, 2026, and will present this decision at its 31st regular shareholders' meeting scheduled for the same day.
The revised dividend distribution plan includes an individual dividend of ¥13.50 per share, up from the previous forecast of ¥11.50 per shareas announced on August 29, 2025. This represents a significant improvement over the actual dividend paid out in the previous fiscal year of ¥11.50 (or ¥23.00 pre-share split) per share. The total dividend payment is expected to be ¥686 million, compared to ¥634 million distributed last year.
Arealink's management stated that their primary objective is to ensure long-term and comprehensive growth for all shareholders while maintaining stable dividends based on medium-to-long term business strategies. They consider market conditions and investment timing carefully, aiming to maintain a dividend payout ratio of around 35 percent without reducing dividends from the previous period. For the current fiscal year, they have adjusted the dividend upward by ¥2.00 per share from the initial forecast due to favorable performance and financial health.
In addition, the company noted that there were two stock splits—one on July 1, 2024, where one ordinary share was exchanged for two shares, and another on November 1, 2025, also resulting in a two-for-one exchange. These splits affect the calculation of dividend per share figures for both fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Without considering these splits, the dividend per share would have been ¥27.00 for the 2025 fiscal year and ¥39.00 for the 2024 fiscal year, leading to respective annual payouts of ¥52.00 and ¥44.50 per share.
For reference, the combined interim and final dividend payments for the fiscal year ending December 2025 are set at ¥13.50 per share, totaling ¥1,321 million, with a payout ratio of 35.7%. In contrast, the previous fiscal year had a combined dividend of ¥35.00 per share, totaling ¥1,129 million, with a payout ratio of 35.3%.
This adjustment reflects Arealink’s commitment to balancing shareholder returns with sustainable reinvestment opportunities, ensuring continued stability and growth within the organization.
