Governance
The company has adopted the structure of a company with an audit and supervisory committee. It has a total of 15 board members: 11 directors excluding audit and supervisory committee members (2 of whom are outside directors) and 4 audit and supervisory committee members (all outside directors), and has notified the Tokyo Stock Exchange of 6 independent officers. It has established multiple layers of meeting bodies, including a Nomination and Compensation Committee, a Standing Board of Directors, and a Management Strategy Committee, and the Board of Directors met 17 times during the year (with 100% attendance by all members).
Risk Management
The Internal Control Committee oversees company-wide risk management, with the Risk Management Committee, Compliance Committee, Information Security Committee, and Sustainability Committee established under it. Deliberation results from each committee are reported to the Board of Directors via the Management Strategy Meeting and the Board of Standing Directors. A J-SOX Act Response Committee has also been established to ensure the appropriateness of financial reporting.
Shareholder Returns

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to continue paying stable dividends while securing the internal reserves necessary to establish a solid management foundation. Dividends of surplus are determined twice a year, interim and year-end, by resolution of the Board of Directors. Actual results for FY2026 (ended February 2026) were an annual dividend of ¥70 (interim ¥34, year-end ¥36). The forecast for FY2027 (ending February 2027) is an annual dividend of ¥72 (interim ¥36, year-end ¥36). There is no revision from the most recently announced dividend forecast.
