BP Castrol K.K. [5015.T]
TOKYO, Feb 9 (Pulse News Wire) -- BP Castrol KK (5015.T), represented by its President and CEO Hira (Masanori Hirakawa), announced today that it has resolved to distribute dividends based on the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The decision was made during a board meeting held earlier today and is scheduled to be presented for approval at the company's 49th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders planned for March 26, 2026.
The dividend distribution will see each share receive ¥26, an increase from the previous forecast of ¥24 per share. This brings the total amount of dividends to ¥596 million, up from ¥528 million in the prior fiscal year. The effective date for this dividend payment is set for March 27, 2026, and the funds allocated for this purpose come from retained earnings.
BP Castrol KK’s dividend policy prioritizes returning profits to shareholders actively while considering free cash flow over the short term. The company aims to maintain tax-adjusted net income as a guideline for dividend levels. Based on this strategy, taking into account the current fiscal performance, the company decided to revise the final dividend per share from the previously anticipated ¥24 to ¥26, marking a two-yen increase. When combined with the interim dividend already paid out at ¥20 per share, the annual dividend per share is expected to reach ¥46.
For reference, the actual dividend payout per share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, stood at ¥20, rising to ¥26 for the full fiscal year. In comparison, the corresponding figures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, were ¥19 for the half-year period and ¥23 for the entire year. These adjustments reflect the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder returns in line with its business performance.
The total dividend payout amounts to ¥596 million.
