KOURAKUEN CORPORATION [7554.T]
TOKYO, Feb 10 (Pulse News Wire) -- Kourakuen Corporation (7554.T), led by Chairman and President Shinada Den (SHI-na-da DEN), announced on Friday that it will revise its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 (the 56th fiscal period). The company's board of directors made this decision during their meeting held on February 10, 2026.
The revision is based on the improved performance of the company, which has seen an increase in customer traffic due to various initiatives such as opening two new stores, renovating existing ones, selling seasonal and limited-time products, and extending operating hours. Additionally, strict cost control measures have contributed to the steady growth of the business. As a result, Kourakuen plans to distribute a dividend of ¥10 per share, utilizing surplus funds.
According to the revised forecast, the interim dividend for the second quarter end and the final dividend for the fiscal year-end will both be set at ¥10 per share. This contrasts with previous expectations where no dividends were anticipated. In comparison, the actual dividends paid out in the previous fiscal year (ending March 2025) stood at zero yen per share for both periods.
Furthermore, due to the situation where the book value of treasury stocks exceeds the amount of surplus reserves, Kourakuen intends to reduce the capital reserve before implementing this dividend distribution. Details regarding this reduction can be found in today’s separate announcement titled “Notice Regarding Reduction in Capital Reserve Amount.”
