Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The Board of Directors consists of 6 members (including 3 outside directors, all of whom serve on the Audit and Supervisory Committee), giving an outside director ratio of 50%. A voluntary nomination and compensation committee, composed of a majority of independent outside directors, has been established to ensure transparency and objectivity in nominations and compensation decisions.
Risk Management
The Board of Directors oversees overall risk management, with the Risk Management Office, which reports directly to the Representative Director and President, working in coordination with the Sustainability Committee within the x-value unit to identify and prioritize risks. Information leakage risk is addressed through the "Personal Information Protection Regulations" and regular training, and a group-wide information sharing framework has been established.
Shareholder Returns
The basic policy is continuous and stable profit distribution, with an annual dividend of ¥35 planned for FY2026 (ending September 2026) (interim ¥15 + year-end ¥20). This represents a decrease from the previous fiscal year's annual ¥45 (including a ¥10 commemorative dividend) due to the drop-off of the commemorative dividend, but the substantive ordinary dividend remains at the same level as the previous fiscal year's ¥35. No change to earnings forecasts.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to conduct continuous and stable profit distribution, comprehensively taking into account the current fiscal year's business performance, consolidated dividend payout ratio, the company's own payout ratio, and future management measures.

In the previous fiscal year (FY2025, ended September 2025), an interim dividend of ¥15 and a year-end dividend of ¥30 (including a ¥10 commemorative dividend) were paid, for an annual total of ¥45.
