Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. announced that its Board of Directors has decided to change its dividend policy and increase its dividend forecast. The company previously aimed for a stable dividend payout ratio of at least 40% while considering its business environment and financial conditions. The new policy will adjust these parameters to enhance shareholder returns.
Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. announced that its Board of Directors has revised the Medium-Term Management Plan 2027. The revision follows the plan launched in fiscal 2025, which aimed to strengthen domestic operations for sustainable profits and establish a new overseas operational structure to support future growth, particularly in the processed food market.
The company released its consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2026, noting that the statements are not audited by a certified public accountant or audit corporation. The release includes forward‑looking statements and explanations regarding the use of forecasts, emphasizing that actual performance may differ significantly from the projections.
In 1H FY2026, the domestic business secured profits, and the overseas business also generated profits due to temporary factors, but profitability remained low. The company indicated its policy of reviewing its overseas business strategy and reflecting it in the 2027 medium-term management plan.
Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. has decided at its board of directors meeting to change its dividend policy and introduce a progressive dividend with a minimum of 4% of equity capital (DOE). The change will take effect from the fiscal year ending March 2027. Additionally, the annual dividend forecast has been revised from 55 yen to 63 yen, and the total dividend has been increased from 110 yen to 118 yen.
Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. has decided at the board of directors to revise the Medium-Term Management Plan 2027. Sales, operating profit, and EBITDA will be reduced, and the dividend policy will be changed to a progressive dividend. The equity ratio will be set at about 70%, and the ROE will remain at 10%.
The revenue for FY 2027 Q2 was 50,189 million yen, operating margin was 6.2%, ordinary profit was 3,639 million yen, and diluted net income attributable to shareholders of the parent was 4,209 million yen. Diluted earnings per share were 110.37 yen, total assets were 116,538 million yen, net assets were 84,635 million yen, and the equity ratio was 72.6%.
In the first half of fiscal 2026, the Company secured profits primarily in its domestic business, while profitability in its overseas business remained low, even including temporary factors. In light of changes in the overseas business environment, the Company will review its strategy, revise the numerical targets of its Medium-Term Management Plan 2027, and change its dividend policy. It aims to restructure its overseas business into one that generates profits sustainably.
Riken Vitamin will revise the prices of 13 products in the Riken Non-Oil® Series (190 ml and 380 ml), effective for deliveries from January 1, 2027. Prices will increase by 5.3% to 6.2% due to rising costs for raw materials, energy, packaging materials, and other items.
