The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending August 2026) is ¥0.00 (no dividend), unchanged from the previous fiscal year.

Dividend Policy
The annual dividend for both FY2025 (ending August 2025) and FY2026 (ending August 2026) is ¥0.00 (no dividend). Priority is given to strengthening the financial base and building up retained earnings for business expansion, and the timing and feasibility of paying dividends remain undetermined at this point.

If dividends are paid, the basic policy is a single year-end dividend, although interim dividends are also permitted under the Articles of Incorporation.
