SBI Holdings, Inc. (TOKYO: 8473)
SBI Holdings, Inc, (hereinafter "SBIH") hereby announces that it has resolved at the Board of Directors
Meeting held today to revise its year-end dividend forecast as provided below.
1. Reason for the revision of dividend forecast
In the consolidated financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, announced on January 29,
2015, the consolidated operating income exceeded the full-year past record high posted in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, and furthermore, the business conditions of the Financial Services Business companies,
including SBI SECURITIES, continue to be steady owing to the continued favorable stock market in and after January 2015. In the light of these circumstances, SBIH has decided to revise the year-end ordinary dividend forecast to JPY 30 per share, a JPY 10 increase compared to the previous forecast of JPY 20 per share.
As was already announced, SBIH intends to offer a commemorative dividend of JPY 5 per share for the year- end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
Consequently, the annual year-end surplus dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 will be JPY 35 per share (ordinary dividend of JPY 30 + commemorative dividend of JPY 5), an increase of JPY 15 compared to the previous fiscal year.
