Ait Corporation reports strong interim results, boosts dividend to JPY 45

Ait Corporation reported a significant increase in operating revenue for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2026, reaching JPY 28,244 million, an 8.0% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by a robust performance in its international cargo transport business. Despite a slight decrease in operating profit to JPY 2,023 million (down 4.9%), ordinary profit rose by 2.4% to JPY 2,397 million, surpassing the company's previous forecast. Profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 7.8% to JPY 1,628 million, also outperforming expectations.

In light of these strong interim results and favorable business development, Ait Corporation's Board of Directors resolved to pay an interim dividend of JPY 45 per share for the period ended August 31, 2025. This matches the most recent dividend forecast and represents an increase from the JPY 40 per share paid in the previous fiscal year. The total interim dividend amount is JPY 1,057 million, effective October 28, 2025.

The company maintains its full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2026, projecting operating revenue of JPY 60,000 million, operating profit of JPY 4,300 million, ordinary profit of JPY 4,670 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 3,170 million. These figures reflect a commitment to stable growth despite ongoing market uncertainties.
