Komatsu to Maintain ¥190 Dividend, Unlocks Reserves for Capital Flexibility

Komatsu Ltd. ( (JP:6301) ) has provided an announcement.

Komatsu plans a year-end dividend of ¥95 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, bringing total annual dividends to ¥190 per share, unchanged from the prior year and implying a consolidated payout ratio of 45.9%. Despite projecting lower consolidated net income for the year ending March 31, 2027, the company intends to maintain the ¥190 per-share dividend, which would raise the payout ratio to 53.8% and underscores its commitment to stable shareholder returns.

The board also approved a proposal to reverse ¥210.359 billion from the general reserve and reclassify it to retained earnings brought forward to enhance flexibility in capital policy. Komatsu said the accounting reclassification will have no impact on consolidated business results, but it should give the company more room to manage shareholder returns and balance sheet strategy subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual meeting.
