At AUCNET, our basic policy is to maintain a stable dividend while continuing to maintain sufficient internal reserves on hand to fund future business development, enhance management structure and fund capital investment.
We maintain an interim and year-end dividend aiming for a consolidated payout ratio of 50% or more.
In light of M&A progress in FY2026, we have decided to pay a special dividend with a total amount of ¥3.5 billion, equivalent to half of the 7.0 billion M&A investment set under our medium-term management plan, “Blue Print 2027”. Reflecting the impact of both this special dividend and the increase in dividends resulting from the upward revision of the earnings forecast, the dividend forecast for FY2026 has been set at ¥82 per share (+¥53 YoY), consisting of an interim dividend of ¥21 and a year-end dividend forecast of ¥61.
