Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors comprises 5 members, including 2 outside directors (outside ratio 40%), and the Board of Corporate Auditors comprises 3 members, all of whom are outside corporate auditors. No Nomination Committee or Compensation Committee has been established; a Management Committee and Compliance Committee are established as complementary bodies. The accounting auditor is Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC.
Risk Management
Risk management is conducted primarily through the Compliance Committee (chaired by the Representative Director, President, and held twice annually). A Director serving as General Manager of the Management Administration Department has been appointed as the officer responsible for risk management, and a framework has been established to periodically analyze, evaluate, and address compliance, business, and sustainability-related risks. The company also works with its retained legal counsel to prevent risks from materializing.
Shareholder Returns
The company will continue its no-dividend policy for the time being. The forecast annual dividend for FY2026 (ending August 2026) is ¥0.00 (year-end dividend only). Priority is given to strengthening internal reserves and investing in business expansion, and there is no change to the dividend forecast.
Dividend Policy
The policy is not to pay dividends for the time being. The forecast annual dividend for FY2026 (ending August 2026) is ¥0.00 (¥0.00 at the second-quarter end, ¥0.00 at year-end). The company has judged that, while striving to strengthen internal reserves and its corporate structure, allocating funds to human capital investment such as recruitment and training, as well as to promotional expenses such as advertising and sales promotion, represents the greatest return to shareholders. If dividends are paid, a single year-end dividend is envisioned, with the decision-making body being the general meeting of shareholders. There has been no revision from the most recently announced dividend forecast.
ESG
Sustainability policy is discussed and decided by the Board of Directors and the Management Committee. In addition to making donations to environmental support organizations, the company is promoting the strengthening of information security (including ransomware countermeasures), the formulation of a BCP plan, and DX in business operations. In terms of human capital, the company is improving the working environment through measures such as allowing paid leave to be taken in hourly units, a work-from-home system, and making childcare and family care leave paid. However, quantitative indicators and targets for human resource development have not yet been established, and this remains a challenge under consideration for the future.
