TOKYO, Jan 13 (Pulse News Wire) -- Kyoshin Co., Ltd. (4735.T), led by President and CEO Yasuyuki Takioki, announced on Friday that it has revised its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2026, including a special 50th anniversary dividend, and changed its dividend policy. The company's board of directors made these decisions during a meeting held on January 13, 2026.
For the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, which spans June 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, Kyoshin will increase its final dividend per share from the previously estimated 2 yen and 78 sen to 5 yen per share. This includes an additional 2 yen and 22 sen as a special 50th-anniversary dividend. The previous estimate was solely based on ordinary dividends amounting to 2 yen and 78 sen per share. In comparison, the actual dividend paid out for the previous fiscal year was 3 yen and 63 sen per share.
The company’s new dividend policy aims to ensure continuous improvement in corporate value while prioritizing shareholder returns as a key aspect of its business strategy. Under this revised approach, Kyoshin plans to maintain a target payout ratio of 30 percent of consolidated earnings, with a minimum annual dividend of 5 yen per share regardless of fluctuations in performance. This change underscores the company's commitment to providing stable returns to shareholders over the long term.
In addition to these changes, Kyoshin highlighted its gratitude towards stakeholders who have supported the company throughout its 50-year history. To mark this milestone, the firm is implementing a new dividend policy starting from the fiscal year beginning March 2026. The updated policy sets a floor of 5 yen per share annually, alongside maintaining a targeted payout ratio of 30 percent of consolidated earnings. This adjustment reflects the company's dedication to balancing aggressive business expansion with robust financial stability, ensuring sustainable growth and reliable dividend payments moving forward.
