Shirohato Co., Ltd. [3192.T]
TOKYO, Jan 9 (Pulse News Wire) -- Shirohato Co., Ltd. (3192.T), represented by Chairman and CEO Kiyoki Sugihara, announced today that its board of directors meeting held on January 9, 2026, resolved not to distribute dividends based on the balance sheet as of November 30, 2025. The company had previously planned to declare dividend payments but ultimately decided against it due to current business performance trends and future financial conditions.
According to the announcement, the most recent dividend forecast released on October 10, 2025, indicated an expected dividend per share of ¥0. However, this amount was left undetermined until now. As such, no total dividend amount will be distributed, and there is no effective date set for any potential payment. Additionally, the company has yet to specify the sources of funds intended for distribution.
Shirohato recently changed its fiscal year-end from February 28th to November 30th each year, making the period ending November 30, 2025, a nine-month interim report. This change complicates the assessment of the company's overall financial health and operational performance during this transition phase.
In explaining the decision, the company emphasized its commitment to shareholder returns while maintaining necessary internal reserves. It aims to achieve continuous and stable dividend payouts through careful consideration of its earnings, financial status, and other relevant factors. Despite these efforts, after evaluating various aspects including the current business environment and projected finances, the board concluded that withholding dividends was unavoidable at present.
The company expressed deep regret over this decision and assured shareholders that they would strive to resume dividend distributions as soon as possible. They requested continued support from investors moving forward.
