Joshin Denki adopts interim dividends, revises fiscal 2026 forecast

Joshin Denki Co., Ltd. resolved on September 16, 2025, to amend its dividend policy, moving from a single annual year-end dividend to semiannual distributions, including interim dividends. This change, effective from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, aims to provide more frequent profit returns to shareholders. The company's Articles of Incorporation permit interim dividends with a record date of September 30, subject to Board of Directors' resolution.

Following this policy change, Joshin Denki revised its dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The previous forecast of JPY 0.00 for the second quarter-end and JPY 100.00 for year-end (totaling JPY 100.00) has been updated. The revised forecast now includes an interim dividend of JPY 50.00 and a year-end dividend of JPY 50.00, maintaining a total annual dividend of JPY 100.00. For reference, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, saw a JPY 0.00 second quarter-end dividend and JPY 100.00 year-end dividend, totaling JPY 100.00.
