TOKYO, Feb 13 (Pulse News Wire) -- Wellness Communications Co., Ltd. (code number: 366A, Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market), led by President Yasushige Matsuda, announced today that it has revised its shareholder return policy and increased its dividend forecast after a board meeting held on Monday. The company's decision aims to enhance returns to shareholders and reflects improvements in profitability and cash flow generation capabilities.

The revision of the shareholder return policy is driven by the expansion of the company’s two main businesses and the increasing efficiency in its health check solution business. These developments have strengthened the company's basic revenue power and improved capital turnover efficiency, leading to higher stable free cash flow creation. As a result, the company decided to introduce a progressive dividend payout system. Under this new approach, while ensuring internal reserves necessary for future business development and management improvement, the company will implement a more robust dividend distribution strategy based on a progressive model.

Regarding the dividend forecast adjustment, the company plans to increase the per-share final dividend from 21 yen and 40 sen to 34 yen and 40 sen. This change is supported by the updated shareholder return policy and reinforced revenue base. The adjusted figures represent an enhancement in the company's capacity to secure funds for growth investments and digital transformation initiatives within existing operations. For reference, the actual dividends paid out in the previous fiscal year were 42 yen and 75 sen per share.

This announcement follows the company's earlier communication on January 8, 2026, regarding stock split, amendments to the articles of incorporation due to the stock split, and adjustments to dividend forecasts. Additionally, there have been no changes to the intended uses of the proceeds as stated in the corrected securities filing submitted on June 12, 2025.
