Nitta Corporation revised consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ending September 30, 2026 and full fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. For the six months, the company now expects net sales of JPY 48,000 million, operating income of JPY 4,000 million and net income attributable to owners of parent of JPY 7,500 million or JPY 271.88 per share against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 46,000 million, operating income of JPY 3,000 million and net income attributable to owners of parent of JPY 5,800 million or JPY 210.26 per share. For the full year, the company now expects net sales of JPY 96,000 million, operating income of JPY 8,000 million and net income attributable to owners of parent of JPY 15,000 million or JPY 543.77 per share against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 94,000 million, operating income of JPY 6,200 million and net income attributable to owners of parent of JPY 12,300 million or JPY 445.89 per share. Reason for the revisions: Regarding the consolidated financial results forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, net sales and operating income are expected to exceed the previously announced forecasts, mainly due to demand for high value-added products for semiconductor manufacturing equipment exceeding the Company's initial expectations, supported by favorable conditions in the semiconductor industry. In addition, ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent are also expected to exceed the previously announced forecasts, as the performance of equity-method affiliates has remained strong due to expanding demand for products for the semiconductor industry.

For the year, the company expects to pay a dividend of JPY 88.00 per share against previous guidance of JPY 73.00 per share. Scheduled date of annual general meeting of shareholders: June 25, 2026. Scheduled date to commence dividend payments: June 26, 2026. Total amount of dividends JPY 2,413 million. Record date March 31, 2026. Source of dividends Retained Earnings. Reason for the Dividend Increase: Recognizing returns of profits to shareholders to be a key management topic, the Company has established the basic policy of paying appropriate dividends that reflect financial results while continuing to strengthen and enhance its corporate foundations. During the period from FY2023 through the end of Phase 2 (FY2023­FY2027) of the SHIFT2030 medium- to long-term business plan, the Company will follow the basic policy and meet shareholder expectations through continued stable, steady increases in dividends (of at least 10 yen/share per year) targeting a consolidated payout ratio of at least 30% and a dividends-on-equity (DOE) ratio of at least 2.5%. Based on this policy, and after comprehensively considering the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 announced on May 8, 2026, as well as the Company's current financial condition and future business developments, the year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 is scheduled to be JPY 88, an increase of JPY 15 from the previous forecast of JPY 73 per share. As a result, a full-year dividend will be JPY 160 per share, including the interim dividend of JPY 72 per share, an increase of JPY 25 compared to the previous fiscal year's ordinary dividend of JPY 135, excluding the commemorative dividend of JPY 5. The above will be implemented subject to the resolution at the 97th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled on June 25, 2026. For the second quarter-end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, the company expects to pay a dividend of JPY 85.00 per share against JPY 72.00 per share a year ago.

On May 8, 2026, Nitta Corporation announced its Board of Directors’ opinions regarding shareholder proposals submitted by Dalton Kizuna (Master) Fund, L.P. for the 97th Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 25, 2026. The shareholder proposals included: "Election of one Director," "Appropriation of Surplus," "Amendment to Articles of Incorporation regarding the composition of Outside Directors," "Amendment to Articles of Incorporation regarding disclosure related to management conscious of capital cost and stock price," and "Amendment to Articles of Incorporation regarding the record date for the AGM." The Board opposed the "Election of one Director" proposal, citing concerns over the candidate’s independence, as Mr. Toshihito Yamada is affiliated with a group company of the proposing shareholder, which could undermine the Board’s supervisory function and decision-making credibility. The Board also opposed the "Appropriation of Surplus" proposal, stating that a 100% payout ratio would prioritize short-term interests over long-term corporate value and growth investments. The "Amendment to Articles of Incorporation regarding the composition of Outside Directors" was opposed on the grounds that mandating a majority of outside directors could restrict the pool of candidates and hinder optimal Board composition. The Board opposed the "Amendment to Articles of Incorporation regarding disclosure related to management conscious of capital cost and stock price," arguing that such provisions should not be enshrined in the Articles due to the need for flexibility in responding to market and strategic changes. Lastly, the "Amendment to Articles of Incorporation regarding the record date for the AGM" was opposed, as the current practice is common in Japan and changing it could cause confusion and increase operational burdens. Nitta Corporation emphasized its commitment to constructive dialogue with shareholders but maintained that the Board should ultimately decide director appointments and corporate policies in the interest of all shareholders.
