TOKYO, Feb 5 (Pulse News Wire) -- Iino Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd. (9119.T), led by President Yoichi Ootani, announced today that its board of directors has approved an upward revision to the company's fiscal year 2026 third-quarter and final dividend expectations. The revised forecast reflects an increased commitment to shareholder returns as part of the company’s current mid-term business plan.
The latest dividend projections show that the per-share dividend for the second quarter will be raised to 31 yen, up from the previously stated amount of 24 yen. For the fiscal year-end dividend, the company now expects to distribute 55 yen per share, compared to the earlier estimate of 48 yen. This represents a total annual dividend increase of seven yen per share over previous forecasts made on October 31, 2025.
In addition to these adjustments, the company also provided historical context for its dividend policy. In the prior fiscal year ending March 2025, Iino Kaiun paid out a regular dividend of 25 yen per share and a special dividend of five yen, totaling 58 yen per share. The current fiscal year is set to conclude the company's mid-term strategic planning period, during which it aims to enhance shareholder value through a robust dividend payout ratio of 40% based on projected earnings.
Iino Kaiun emphasized its ongoing efforts to improve performance while maintaining flexibility in future dividend decisions. These will depend on the actual level of profitability and financial health of the firm, as well as overall strategies for returning capital to shareholders.
The company stressed that any forward-looking statements included in this release are based on currently available information and reasonable assumptions but do not constitute guarantees of future outcomes. Actual results may vary significantly due to various factors beyond the company's control.
