Riso Kyoiku Group Corporation Revises Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending February 28, 2026 Riso Kyoiku Group Corporation revised its earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. For the period the company expects Net Sales of JPY 34,200 million against previous forecasts of JPY 36,000 million, Operating Profit forecast of JPY 2,470 million against previous forecasts of JPY 3,145 million, Profit Attributable to Owners of Parent forecasts of JPY 1,540 million against previous forecasts of JPY 2,000 million and Basic Earnings per Share forecasts of JPY 9.05 per share against previous forecasts of JPY 11.76 per share.
Reasons for the Revision: Regarding the consolidated performance for the current fiscal year, while net sales are expected to exceed the previous fiscal year's results, they are projected to fall below the initial forecast. In the Tutoring School Business segment (TOMAS) and the Early Childhood Education Business segment (Shingakai), net sales failed to reach the planned levels as the number of students trended below the targets set at the beginning of the period. In addition to the impact of lower-than- expected sales, profits at each level are projected to underperform the plan due to an increase in land and house rent accompanying rising rents for existing schools, as well as an increase in personnel and recruitment costs resulting from initiatives to retain talented human resources.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 10% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 91% Cash payout ratio: 204% High level of non-cash earnings (33% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (10% increase in shares outstanding). Announcement • May 29
