RIKEN TECHNOS CORPORATION [4220.T]
TOKYO, Jan 30 (Pulse News Wire) -- Riken Technos Corporation (4220.T), led by President Representative Director Kazuaki Tokuda, announced on Monday that it has revised its dividend policy to enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency. The decision was made during a board meeting held today.
The company is currently implementing its three-year medium-term business plan titled "One Vision, New Stage 2027," which aims to reform towards a balance sheet that creates value. Alongside strengthening growth and strategic investments, enhancing returns to shareholders has been identified as a critical management issue. Previously, Riken Technos had focused on distributing profits based on a target of a consolidated dividend payout ratio of around 35%, while also considering future business investments and bolstering equity capital. However, the company now plans to introduce a new metric called DOE (consolidated return on equity) alongside the existing dividend payout ratio to further boost capital efficiency.
Under the revised policy, effective from the fiscal year starting March 2026, Riken Technos will apply the higher of either a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 35% or a DOE of 3.5%. This change is intended to ensure more stable and sustainable dividends for shareholders moving forward. The company's Deputy President Representative Director and Chief Financial Officer Junji Irie stated that this adjustment reflects their commitment to balancing investment opportunities with consistent returns to investors.
For reference, detailed forecasts for the current fiscal year ending March 2026 have already been disclosed in an announcement released earlier today regarding the revision of full-year earnings projections and final dividend expectations. Investors are encouraged to review these documents for additional information.
