Resorttrust raises dividends, upgrades financial forecast on strong sales

Resorttrust, Inc. has revised its consolidated financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Net sales are now projected at JPY260,000 million (up from JPY259,000 million), operating income at JPY29,000 million (up from JPY27,500 million), and net income attributable to owners of parent at JPY20,300 million (up from JPY19,000 million). This upward revision is primarily driven by strong membership sales for SANCTUARY COURT KANAZAWA and SANCTUARY COURT AWAJISHIMA, exceeding initial expectations. Medical and hotel/restaurant operations also performed robustly, contributing to overall revenue and profit growth.

In line with the improved performance, the company increased its interim dividend to JPY17.00 per share and forecasts a year-end dividend of JPY17.00, totaling an annual dividend of JPY34.00, a record high. The company also announced a disposal of 2,782,688 treasury shares through a third-party allotment, valued at JPY5,217,540,000, to fund its Board Benefit Trust (BBT) and J-ESOP programs. This initiative aligns with its strategy to enhance shareholder returns and support employee and executive incentive plans, while maintaining capital efficiency.
