Okinawa Cellular declares interim dividend amid strong half-year financial performance

Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company's board of directors approved an interim dividend of JPY 64.00 per share, payable on December 5, 2025, for shareholders as of September 30, 2025. This dividend totals JPY 2,983 million, aligning with the company's dividend policy to maintain stable returns while ensuring financial health. This follows a previous interim dividend of JPY 60.00 per share for the fiscal year ended March 2025.

The interim dividend reflects strong half-year consolidated financial results for the period ending September 30, 2025. Operating revenue increased by 2.2% to JPY 42,068 million and operating profit rose by 5.1% to JPY 9,350 million, compared to the same period last year. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders grew by 6.9% to JPY 6,540 million. These results indicate that the company is on track to meet its full-year forecasts.

The company's performance was bolstered by increased mobile revenue, terminal sales, and improved profitability in the "au Denki" power service. Mobile net additions were +2,100, and FTTH net additions were +2,000, both contributing to solid progress against full-year targets. Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company is also advancing various business initiatives, including "Smart City" development and ESG-related projects.
