The company announced a revision of the annual dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending in March 2025. The dividend will increase by 7.0 yen to 22.0 yen.

RSI <4664> announced an upward revision of the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending in March 2025 on September 17, 2024. The interim dividend has been revised from 5.0 yen to 7.0 yen, and the year-end dividend from 10.0 yen to 15.0 yen. The annual dividend forecast has been significantly increased from the initial forecast of 15 yen to 22 yen. This increase can be attributed to the smooth start of the first quarter results for the fiscal year ending in March 2025, which includes the implementation of AI security systems at the Sunshine City Prince Hotel in the security department, as well as the successful operation of large-scale event promotions in customer anniversary projects and the progress of new contracted projects (security and cleaning services, etc.) as planned. With the increase in the annual dividend forecast, the projected dividend yield has reached 4.4% (based on the closing price of 500 yen on September 17, 2024).

The company is engaged in the management of leading buildings in Japan such as "Sunshine City" and "Marunouchi Building" (security, cleaning, facility construction, information, etc.), as well as personnel services (staffing, event operation), and has a strength in the one-stop solution represented by the "Sunshine City Model". In the ongoing medium-term management plan, they are enthusiastic about strengthening existing business to improve profitability, investing in human capital, and promoting security DX utilizing new technologies such as AI. According to a press release dated September 5, 2024, they have started full-scale operation of the AI security system 'asilla' by collaborating with their business partner Ajira in various areas of Sunshine City."

The consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending in March 2025, announced on August 13, 2024, showed a 12.8% decrease in net sales to 1,941 million yen compared to the same period of the previous year, a 47.9% decrease in operating profit to 74 million yen, a 48.9% decrease in ordinary profit to 77 million yen, and a 55.1% decrease in quarterly net profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders to 47 million yen. Although there was a decrease in sales and profit due to the completion of the planned large-scale long-term projects for public agencies and the decrease in spot orders (construction business by subsidiaries) in the previous period, this was within expectations. Looking at the progress rate of the full-year performance forecast, net sales are about 24%, while operating profit is close to 50%, indicating a smooth start. It is expected that the negative factors mentioned above will be covered by new large-scale event operations and new contracted projects such as security at the Sunshine City Prince Hotel (which started on April 1, 2024) and that further new contracted projects are progressing as planned. Based on the policy of the medium-term management plan, the company aims to steadily implement a dividend payout ratio of 30% or more. The upward revision of the dividend forecast can also be seen as a reflection of confidence in this fiscal year's performance.
