Governance
The company has an Audit and Supervisory Committee structure. The Board of Directors consists of 7 members (4 of whom are outside directors), and all outside directors have been designated as independent officers. A Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established (comprising 2 outside directors and the President and Representative Director, 3 members in total, chaired by an outside director) to strengthen the oversight function.
Risk Management
The Company has established a Compliance Committee and put in place various internal regulations. Risk analysis and countermeasures are discussed at management meetings, and for high-level risks, advice from external specialists such as advisory attorneys is utilized. The Company endeavors to detect potential risks early and prevent them before they occur through audits by the Audit and Supervisory Committee members and internal audits.
Shareholder Returns
Dividends remain suspended due to continued net losses and negative operating cash flow. Annual dividend was ¥0 in both FY2025 (ended March 2025) and FY2026 (ending March 2026). No dividend is forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) either. No mention of share buybacks. The policy prioritizes strengthening retained earnings.
Dividend Policy
Annual dividend was ¥0 in both FY2025 (ended March 2025) and FY2026 (ending March 2026) (¥0 at the end of Q1, Q2, Q3, and full year in each case). The FY2027 (ending March 2027) forecast also calls for an annual dividend of ¥0. Given the continuation of operating losses and negative operating cash flow, and the existence of material uncertainty regarding the going concern assumption, no dividends are being paid.
ESG
The company promotes sustainability management centered on diversity promotion. It has set a target of 30% for the proportion of female workers among management positions by March 2030, with the actual figure for the fiscal year under review standing at 10.0%. Recognizing diversity in gender, age, nationality, and other attributes, the company is also working to promote mid-career hires into core positions and to improve the workplace environment.
