1. Revision of Dividend Forecast for Fiscal Year Ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026)

2. Reasons for the Dividend Forecast Revision

Returning profits to shareholders is one of our key management priorities. While ensuring adequate internal reserves for future business expansion and strengthening our management foundation, we maintain a fundamental policy of delivering stable dividends.

Currently, under the ValueCreationProject established last year, we are actively pursuing further growth through business expansion and corporate value enhancement. ValueCreation700, the core initiative of this project, is not merely a stock price target but a strategic management goal aimed at achieving sustainable growth and long-term corporate value improvement. It is also a critical component in maintaining compliance with the Prime Market listing standards.

On the occasion of our 40th anniversary, we wish to express our gratitude to our shareholders for their continued support and demonstrate management’s strong commitment to achieving ValueCreation700. Therefore, we have revised the year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 and will implement a special 40th-anniversary dividend of ¥2 per share.

As a result, the expected dividend per share for the fiscal year ending September 2026 will be ¥14.

We do not view this dividend increase as a one-time, temporary measure limited to an anniversary gesture. This increase reflects our confidence in sustained growth, driven by business expansion leveraging our high end-user engagement, strengthening our stable revenue base through recurring business models, and improving productivity and profitability through AI-driven development. It also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing shareholder returns as we advance the ValueCreation700 initiative.

We regard the ValueCreationProject as a critical management priority. To maintain our Prime Market listing and enhance corporate value, we will accelerate business growth, improve productivity and profitability, and strengthen our IR activities, with the entire management team fully committed to meeting shareholder expectations.
