Toho Gas has proposed a year-end dividend of 45 yen per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, up from 40 yen a year earlier, bringing the total annual dividend to 90 yen. The payout, funded from retained earnings and totaling 4,094 million yen, is subject to approval at the June 25 shareholders’ meeting, with the effective payment date set for June 26.
