Marusan Securities to pay interim, special dividends through 2028

Marusan Securities Co., Ltd. announced on September 16, 2025, a provisional interim dividend of 32 yen per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, payable to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2025. This includes an ordinary dividend of 17 yen and a special dividend of 15 yen. The final decision is expected in late October 2025. The company's ordinary dividend policy aims for a stable return of profits with a payout ratio of 50% or more of net income.

Marusan Securities also reconfirmed its plan to pay special dividends in addition to ordinary dividends from the interim dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, through the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028. This commitment reflects a strengthened shareholder return policy, building on an increased dividend payout ratio from 30% to 50% or more of consolidated net income since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

The decision to pay additional special dividends is attributed to a more stable earnings base from asset management-type sales, a reduced need for large cash reserves due to the transfer of online trading businesses, and an optimization of internal reserves to enhance capital efficiency. The company aims to further improve its earnings structure and promote capital efficiency.
