Governance
The company operates as a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 9 directors (5 of whom are outside directors). In April 2025, it established a Nomination Advisory Committee and a Compensation Advisory Committee, building a governance structure in which independent outside directors constitute a majority. Following the discovery of improper accounting practices at a subsidiary, a special investigation committee was established and is currently promoting measures to prevent recurrence.
Risk Management
Under the direction of the director in charge of administration, the Corporate Division serves as the responsible department, identifying and managing the progress of risks, including sustainability-related risks. The company has established an Internal Audit Office, an internal whistleblowing system, and a timely disclosure framework, building a system for early risk detection and response.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay a year-end dividend once per year, and over the next three years, the company will conduct shareholder returns with a target payout ratio of 30%, taking into account the balance between growth investment and repayment of interest-bearing debt. Recent dividend history: ¥14 for FY2025 (ended March 2025) → ¥3 for FY2026 (ending March 2026) (a decrease from the prior period, payout ratio of 18.7%). The forecast year-end dividend for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is ¥9 per share (forecast payout ratio of 31.4%). While strengthening its financial base, the company aims for an early recovery in earnings and improvement in dividend levels.
ESG
The company promotes sustainability under three pillars—Environment, Society, and Governance—advancing support for the RBA Code of Conduct, establishment of a human rights policy, and diversity promotion. As FY2025 results, it disclosed a ratio of female managers of 9.3%, a local executive ratio at overseas subsidiaries of 43.2%, and an annual paid leave utilization rate of 42.8%, and has set FY2026 targets of 10% or higher, 50% or higher, and 60% or higher, respectively.
