Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 5 directors (including 2 outside directors), representing an outside director ratio of 40%. A Compensation Committee (comprising 3 directors, including 2 outside directors) has been established. No Nomination Committee has been established. The Board of Directors met 19 times during the fiscal year under review, with all directors attending every meeting.
Risk Management
Based on the "Risk Management Regulations," the Risk and Compliance Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, meets at least once per quarter to identify, evaluate, and manage company-wide risks, including market, information security, labor, and environmental risks. A system is in place whereby two internal audit personnel audit the risk management status of each department and report the results to the President and Representative Director. Sustainability-related risks are also deliberated by the same committee, with important matters reported to and resolved by the Board of Directors.
Shareholder Returns
No dividend continues in the interim period for FY2026 (ending September 2026) (interim dividend of ¥0). Full-year dividend forecast also remains unchanged at ¥0. Meanwhile, share buybacks were carried out in December 2025, acquiring 170,500 shares (acquisition amount ¥104,052 million), expanding treasury stock at the interim period-end to ¥242,505 million (356,570 shares).
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year (interim and year-end); however, priority is given to strengthening the financial base and securing internal reserves for growth investment, and no dividend (¥0) is planned for the full FY2026 (ending September 2026) as well. The policy is to flexibly implement dividends and share buybacks based on comprehensive consideration of business performance trends, funding needs, and financial condition. There is no revision from the most recently announced dividend forecast.
ESG
Positioning human capital as its most critical capital, the company promotes a "continuously learning organization" through initiatives such as establishing the in-house corporate university "Schoo University" and offering free access to over 9,000 learning content pieces. The proportion of female managers stood at 25.0% in FY2025 (ending September 2025), with a target of 40% by FY2028 (ending September 2028); the male childcare leave utilization rate was 87.5%, and the paid leave utilization rate was 64.0%. The company promotes "unconstrained work styles" such as flextime and remote work, and is working to build an environment where diverse talent can thrive. No quantitative disclosures related to climate change are included in the Annual Securities Report.
