Details of dividend
[Reason for the change of projected cash dividend]
Komatsu is building a sound financial position and is enhancing its competitiveness in order to achieve a sustainable increase in its corporate value. Concerning cash dividends, Komatsu has the policy of continuing stable payment of dividends after comprehensively considering consolidated business results and reviewing future investment plans, cash flows and the like. Specifically, Komatsu has the policy of maintaining a consolidated payout ratio of 40% or higher.
Concerning cash dividends for the fiscal year under review, after considering consolidated business results for the fiscal year under review and future business prospects under its dividend policy, the Company is planning to increase the year-end common stock dividend per share by JPY 23 from the earlier projection of JPY 84 per share. As a result, the year-end cash dividend for the fiscal year under review should amount to JPY 107 per share. Annual cash dividends should total JPY 190 per share, including the interim cash dividend which has already been paid, and which shows an increase of JPY 23 per share from the previous fiscal year, ended March 31, 2024. Accordingly, the consolidated payout ratio will translate into 40.1%. This dividend amount will be proposed to the 156th ordinary general meeting of shareholders (scheduled for June 19, 2025).
Regarding the fiscal year, ending March 31, 2026, while consolidated net income is projected to decrease, the Company plans to pay JPY 190 per share, keeping the same amount from the fiscal year under review. The consolidated payout ratio should be translated into 56.7%.
