eGuarantee, Inc. ( (JP:8771) ) has shared an update.

eGuarantee has overhauled its shareholder return policy after reassessing its capital needs for growth investment and risk buffers in its credit risk guarantee operations. Concluding that additional distributions are feasible while keeping equity at 8%–12% of contingent liabilities, the company will now target a dividend payout ratio of around 100% and step up share repurchases.

The firm is shifting from annual to semiannual dividend payments starting with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, introducing interim and year-end dividends to give shareholders more frequent profit returns. It also reaffirmed a share buyback goal of ¥10 billion to be executed flexibly between the fiscal year ending March 2026 and the fiscal year ending March 2028, aiming to enhance capital efficiency and corporate value.
