Nippon Denko Co.,Ltd. [5563.T]
TOKYO, Feb 26 (Pulse News Wire) -- Nippon Denko Co., Ltd. (5563.T), led by President Yasu Aoki, announced today that its board of directors has decided to propose a dividend payout for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, at their upcoming 126th Annual General Meeting scheduled for March 27, 2026. The proposed dividend is set at ¥7 per share, comprising a regular dividend of ¥6 and a commemorative dividend of ¥1 per share, totaling ¥873 million.
The company's dividend policy is based on three key principles: maintaining a dividend payout ratio of around 40% of sustainable net income, ensuring a minimum annual dividend per share of ¥10, and positioning share buybacks as supplementary to dividends. Sustainable net income is defined as recurring profit adjusted for one-time factors such as inventory impacts multiplied by 0.7 to account for taxes.
According to the press release, this decision reflects the company’s commitment to returning value to shareholders while adhering to its established dividend guidelines. For the current fiscal year, the total dividend per share will be ¥7, which includes the regular dividend of ¥6 and the commemorative dividend of ¥1. This compares favorably with the previous year when the dividend was also ¥7 per share but without the additional commemorative component.
In terms of timing, the effective date for the new dividend distribution will be March 30, 2026. The dividend will be funded from retained earnings, consistent with past practices. Additionally, the company provided an overview of its annual dividend structure, noting that the second quarter interim dividend was ¥5 per share, bringing the total annual dividend to ¥12 per share, including both the regular and commemorative components. This represents a significant step towards fulfilling its shareholder return objectives outlined in its long-term strategy.
The total dividend payout amounts to ¥873 million. The record date is 2025-12-31.
The payment will be effective 2026-03-30.
