Sharp to receive JPY 29.35bn special dividend from subsidiary

Sharp Corporation announced today its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharp Sensing Technology Corporation, has declared a special dividend amounting to JPY 29,345 million. This dividend, with an effective date of December 23, 2025, is expected to be recognized as non-operating income in Sharp's non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

Masahiro Okitsu, president chief executive officer, confirmed the receipt of this significant dividend. While the dividend will impact Sharp's non-consolidated figures, it will have no effect on Sharp's consolidated financial results for the same fiscal year, as the funds are originating from a consolidated subsidiary.

The announcement was made by Ken Tajima of public relations within the corporate brand strategy group.
