Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 6 members in total, comprising 4 internal directors and 2 outside directors (outside director ratio: 33.3%), and meets 17 times per year. A Nomination and Compensation Committee (chaired by an outside director, with independent outside directors constituting the majority) has been established, along with a Compliance Committee, Risk Management Committee, and Sustainability Committee. Following approval at the 39th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, the company plans to transition to a 5-member director structure (including 3 outside directors).
Risk Management
Established a cross-organizational Risk Management Committee (chaired by the Executive Officer CQO) to promote company-wide risk management. When a significant risk materializes, a countermeasure headquarters is set up centered on the Representative Director and President. Sustainability-related risks are handled by the Sustainability Committee (established January 2024), and a framework has been built to coordinate climate-related risks with the Risk Management Committee. The Group Audit Department, reporting directly to the CEO, conducts internal audits, and an internal whistleblowing hotline has also been established.
Shareholder Returns
Annual dividend of ¥46 per share (interim ¥23, year-end ¥23 planned), maintaining the same amount as the previous period. A 1-for-2 stock split is planned effective August 1, 2026 (equivalent to ¥23 on a post-split basis). Share buybacks can be implemented flexibly based on Board of Directors resolutions.
Dividend Policy
The company continues a progressive dividend policy targeting a consolidated payout ratio of 20% or more as a guideline, aiming for stable and sustained dividend increases in principle. The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year (interim and year-end), with retained earnings allocated to growth investments such as new store openings domestically and overseas, store renovations, and development of specialized personnel. The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending July 2026) is planned at ¥46.00 per share (interim ¥23.00, year-end ¥23.00), the same amount as the previous period. Note that a stock split at a ratio of 2 shares for every 1 share held is planned effective August 1, 2026, and the year-end dividend forecast is based on the number of shares prior to the stock split.
ESG
The Sustainability Committee, established in January 2024, is responsible for identifying materiality issues and considering target indicators. In terms of human capital, the revision of the wage system and the payment of a settlement-linked bonus in FY2025 (ending July 2025) resulted in an approximately 9.5% year-on-year increase in average annual salary for full-time employees, a 11.7% year-on-year reduction in overtime hours, and a 10.5% turnover rate for full-time employees within one year of joining (the lowest in recent years). The company has set targets of raising the ratio of female managers to 10% and the rate of male employees taking childcare leave to 80% by July 2030. To secure global talent, the company is participating as a Premium Partner in the Osaka-Kansai Expo Global Internship program.
