Dividend Policy
For ordinary dividends, the basic policy is to continue a progressive dividend, targeting a payout ratio of 25% or more against net income attributable to owners of the parent. The dividend amount is determined by the Board of Directors after comprehensively considering dividends per share, net income per share (consolidated and non-consolidated), planned capital expenditures, the following fiscal year's business forecast, the status of cash on hand, and financial trends, among other factors. Dividends are paid once, as a year-end dividend. The FY2026 (ending March 2026) actual result was an ordinary dividend of ¥41 plus a ¥5 commemorative dividend for the 10th anniversary of listing, totaling ¥46 for the year (payout ratio of 28.2%). The FY2027 (ending March 2027) forecast is an ordinary dividend of ¥41 (no commemorative dividend).
