Basic Dividend Policy

We will strive to return profits to shareholders by comprehensively taking into consideration the outlook for the business environment surrounding our company, our performance forecasts, our financial position, etc.
Our basic policy for shareholder returns is to pay dividends, and we aim to achieve a progressive dividend and consolidated dividend payout ratio of more than 50% over the medium to long term. In addition, our basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year, an interim dividend and a year-end dividend.

*Progressive dividend: Increase or maintain dividends without reducing them over a long period of time.

Dividends: Progressive dividends, dividend payout ratio exceeding 50%

We raised our dividend policy to a progressive dividend and a dividend payout ratio of over 35% from FY23, and to over 50% from FY25.
In FY25, net profit increased significantly, resulting in a substantial dividend increase, marking the 11th consecutive year of dividend increases. The dividend is also planned to be maintained in FY26 through a progressive dividend policy.
