Axial Retailing announces interim dividend, receives payouts from subsidiaries

Axial Retailing Inc. announced an interim dividend of JPY 13.00 per share from retained earnings for the record date of September 30, 2025. The total dividend amounts to JPY 1,151 million, with an effective date of December 5, 2025. This dividend aligns with the forecast announced on May 7, 2025, and exceeds the JPY 11.00 per share (JPY 995 million total) interim dividend paid for FY2025. The company forecasts a total annual dividend of JPY 29.00 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

In a related development, Axial Retailing Inc. also announced the receipt of JPY 4,238 million in interim dividends from eight consolidated subsidiaries. These subsidiaries include Harashin Co., Ltd., Narus Co., Ltd., Fressay Co., Ltd., and Rory Co., Ltd., among others. The dividends were received on November 12, 2025.

The company expects to record the JPY 4,238 million as dividend income in its non-consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 2026. However, as these dividends are from consolidated subsidiaries, they will not impact Axial Retailing’s consolidated financial results.
