Maeda Kosen announces 14 yen year-end dividend for June 2025

Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd. announced a year-end dividend of surplus, with a payment of 14.00 yen per share for the fiscal period ending June 30, 2025. This decision, made at a board meeting on September 10, 2025, results in a total dividend of 938 million yen. The effective date for this dividend is September 26, 2025, with the dividend sourced from retained earnings.

For comparison, the previous fiscal period (June 2024) saw a dividend of 22.00 yen per share, totaling 747 million yen, with an effective date of September 27, 2024. This historical data reflects the company's dividend payout before a 1-for-2 stock split that occurred on July 1, 2024. Adjusting for the stock split, the current year-end dividend of 14.00 yen brings the annual dividend to 26.00 yen per share.

The company stated that this dividend reflects its commitment to shareholder returns, considering future business developments and a progressive dividend policy since its listing. Maeda Kosen also intends to utilize internal reserves for strategic investments, including capital expenditures, research and development, and M&A activities, to enhance its competitive strength and improve future profitability.
