Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (transitioned in 2018). The board consists of 7 directors (4 executive directors and 3 Audit and Supervisory Committee members), all 3 of whom are outside directors. The ratio of outside directors is approximately 43% (3/7). No nomination committee or compensation committee has been established. The board of directors met 17 times per year, with most members achieving a 100% attendance rate.
Risk Management
A continuous risk monitoring and identification framework is implemented in each department, led by the respective executive in charge, with risk management status reported to and discussed at the Management Committee. The Board of Directors determines responses as necessary. Internal audits are conducted by the Corporate Planning Office, and sustainability-related risks are managed under the same framework.
Shareholder Returns
The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year (interim and year-end). An interim dividend of ¥15 per share (unchanged from the previous period) was implemented for the interim period of FY2026 (ending October 2026). The full-year forecast is ¥36 per share annually (interim ¥15 + year-end ¥21), maintaining the same level as the previous period. No revisions have been made to either the earnings forecast or the dividend forecast.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay stable and continuous dividends from surplus, implemented twice a year through interim and year-end dividends. For FY2026 (ending October 2026), the interim dividend of ¥15 has already been paid, and a year-end dividend of ¥21 is forecast, bringing the total to ¥36 (the same amount as the previous period's actual results). Both the earnings forecast and the dividend forecast remain unchanged from the figures announced on December 15, 2025. Retained earnings are allocated to investment in high-quality real estate.
ESG
The sustainability strategy's key focus is on enriching human capital, emphasizing merit- and ability-based personnel appointment regardless of gender or nationality, appropriate training implementation, and improving the workplace environment (childcare leave system, promotion of paid leave usage, DX promotion). However, specific numerical indicators and targets have not yet been established at this time, and the policy is to verify progress through regular monitoring. No individual disclosure regarding climate change has been confirmed in the securities report.
