Annual dividend for FY2025 (ending December 2025) was ¥260 per share (year-end lump sum). For FY2026 (ending December 2026), taking into account the 1-for-2 stock split effective July 1, 2026, the forecast is ¥130 per share on a post-split basis (¥130 at year-end), maintaining the same level as the prior period when converted to a pre-split equivalent of ¥260.
