To All Shareholders and Investors
-
We hope that all our shareholders are in good health and prosperity. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support.
For over 30 years since our founding, we have been conducting business primarily by supporting the digitalization of our manufacturing customers. Thanks to your support, we achieved the profit target for our six-year management plan, "Management Vision 2026," announced in August 2021, in fiscal year 2022, four years ahead of schedule. As a result, we have reviewed our goals and management plan in light of changes in the business environment, and announced a revised version of "Management Vision 2026" on November 10, 2023.
In our new management plan, we will significantly raise our profit targets and actively allocate management resources to achieve further growth. Specifically, we will invest in developing higher-value products and services, investing in human resources, and strengthening our business foundations. Furthermore, as a policy for our shareholders, we will strive to maintain a progressive dividend and a consolidated dividend payout ratio of over 50% over the medium to long term.
Furthermore, we intend to actively promote sustainability initiatives aimed at realizing a sustainable society. We will fulfill our responsibility as a company that continues to provide value to society, and we hope to contribute directly and indirectly to sustainability by leveraging our strengths in business and by promoting activities to resolve social issues.
We will continue to strive to expand our business and achieve sustainable growth in order to meet your expectations. We appreciate your continued guidance and encouragement.
Masakazu Haneda, President and CEO
