TOKYO, July 7, 2026 – Ricoh continued its shareholder return strategy in June by repurchasing approximately 2.5 million of its own shares for a total of ¥3.6 billion (about $22 million USD) through open-market transactions on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The June purchases are part of a larger ¥25 billion share buyback program approved in May 2026, which authorizes the company to repurchase up to 23 million shares through early 2027. By reducing the number of outstanding shares, Ricoh aims to enhance shareholder value, improve earnings per share, and demonstrate confidence in its long-term financial outlook. Combined with May’s repurchases, Ricoh has now spent roughly ¥6.5 billion under the ongoing stock buyback initiative, signaling continued commitment to returning capital to investors while maintaining its broader business transformation strategy.
