Shareholder Returns

Policy on Shareholder Returns

The Company recognizes that the distribution of profits to shareholders and the enhancement of corporate value through sustainable growth are the most important sections of its management. Based on the recognition that profit distribution is an important item in our capital policy, our basic policy is to continue to pay stable dividends while balancing the need for investment funds to strengthen our future business foundation to support sustainable growth and the need for retained earnings to strengthen our financial base.
For the fiscal year ending Mar 31, 2025 and beyond, in line with our Long-term Vision and new Medium-term Management Plan, our policy is to enhance Shareholder Returns based on profits generated by our business to improve capital profitability, along with reinvestment for further growth. In terms of Shareholder Returns, the Company aims to continue to increase dividends in excess of profit growth and to achieve a dividend payout ratio of 35% or more.
It is also the Company's policy to repurchase treasury stock as circumstances allow.
