The company will split each share into two on Aug. 1, doubling shares outstanding to 21,255,840 and lifting authorized shares to 72 million. Its new ¥21.50 year-end dividend is a post-split figure equivalent to ¥43.00 on a pre-split basis, leaving the annual payout effectively unchanged at ¥86.00.
Artner's first quarter points to stubbornly tight demand for engineers serving auto-related and semiconductor-equipment customers. The group posted JPY 3,503m in sales with an 18.1% operating margin, while the parent-company supplement showed utilisation at 98.3%, an average billing rate of JPY 4,808 an hour and engineer headcount up 5.8% to 1,350. The accounting caveat remains: the year-on-year operating detail is from parent-company disclosures, not a fully comparable group series.
