Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The Board of Directors consists of 9 members (5 outside directors, of whom 4 are independent officers), for an outside director ratio of 55.6%. A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established, chaired by an outside director. Following approval at the next general shareholders meeting, the board is expected to move to a structure with 4 outside directors.
Risk Management
The Risk Management Committee, chaired by the President, is held quarterly to centrally manage risk conditions across the group as a whole. A framework has been established whereby the Sustainability Promotion Team identifies and assesses the materiality of sustainability-related risks, which are then reported to the Board of Directors via the Risk Management Committee.
Shareholder Returns
The basic policy is continuous, performance-linked dividends. The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending September 2026) is ¥10 per share (an increase from ¥8 in the prior period). The interim dividend is planned at ¥0 and the year-end dividend at ¥10. No specific payout ratio target is disclosed. Share buybacks are also permitted under the company's articles of incorporation.
Dividend Policy
The company recognizes the enhancement of medium- to long-term corporate value and the return of profits to shareholders as important priorities, and implements continuous dividends with a stronger link to business performance while securing internal reserves. Dividends of surplus are determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. The actual annual dividend for FY2025 (ended September 2025) was ¥8 per share (interim ¥0, year-end ¥8). The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending September 2026) is ¥10 per share (interim ¥0, year-end ¥10), unchanged from the most recently announced forecast.
ESG
The company launched a Sustainability Promotion Team in November 2023, advancing initiatives along three axes: E (development of environmentally friendly materials, waste reduction), S (31.6% female employee ratio, 80.0% male childcare leave utilization rate, human capital investment), and G (strengthening governance, ensuring compliance, information security). Against the target for the ratio of female managers (15.0% by end of September 2026), the current ratio stands at 9.6%, falling short of the goal, and the company plans to continue strengthening development and training programs.
