Dividend Policy
The dividend amount for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is undetermined. The actual annual dividend for FY2025 (ending December 2025) was ¥90 per share (¥0 at second-quarter end, ¥90 at fiscal year end). Since the Group operates highly novel content-related businesses subject to rapid short-term changes in the business environment, the company's policy is not to disclose full-year earnings forecasts, and accordingly the dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) also remains undetermined at this time.
ESG
Sustainability-related risks are managed by the Risk Management Committee and reported to the Board of Directors. In terms of human capital, the company promotes diversity, disclosing a female employee ratio of 22.5%, a female manager ratio of 11.2%, a male childcare leave take-up rate of 120%, and a paid leave take-up rate of 80.2%. The company has set a target of hiring a female ratio of 30% or more (by end of March 2030). Addressing climate change through goal-setting based on frameworks such as TCFD is positioned as a future challenge.
