The company announced the revision to express gratitude to shareholders ahead of its founding anniversary on August 1, 2027. The additional JPY 10/share commemorative special dividend will be paid alongside the ordinary year-end dividend of JPY 15/share in the fiscal 2026 year-end settlement. Management emphasized that this one-time payment is distinct from its core dividend policy and should not be viewed as a change to the company’s baseline distribution strategy.

Sanyo Trading reaffirmed its commitment to the “SANYO VISION 2028” dividend framework, which targets a payout ratio of 30% or higher and progressive dividend growth. The commemorative special dividend represents a separate capital allocation decision outside this framework. For investors, the revision signals management confidence in earnings generation while maintaining structural dividend discipline. The one-time nature of the commemorative payout means the ordinary dividend baseline remains JPY 15/share going forward, consistent with prior guidance under the medium-term vision.
