Governance
The company has an Audit and Supervisory Committee structure. The Board of Directors consists of 10 members (4 outside directors, 40% outside ratio), and a voluntary Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee has been established (chaired by an outside director, with 3 of 5 members being outside members). An executive officer system has been introduced to strengthen management transparency and soundness.
Risk Management
The Risk and Compliance Committee, chaired by the General Manager of the Administration and Management Division, meets quarterly (four times a year) to manage business risks—quality, information security, labor, finance, etc.—on a cross-organizational basis. Specific countermeasures are deliberated and decided at the Executive Officers' Meeting or the Board of Directors, with outside legal counsel invited as needed. Specialized committees such as the BCP Committee, the Health and Safety Management Committee, and the Environmental Management Committee have also been established, forming a multi-layered risk management framework.
Shareholder Returns
The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year (interim and year-end), continuing stable profit distribution. For FY2026 (ending June 2026), an interim dividend of ¥8 has already been paid, with a year-end dividend of ¥10 planned, for an annual total of ¥18 (compared to ¥20 in the prior period, which included a ¥2 commemorative dividend). Share buybacks are also being conducted (treasury shares totaled 717,686 shares as of the end of Q3).
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to continue stable profit distribution to shareholders while securing internal reserves for future business development and strengthening the company's financial position. Dividends are paid twice a year, as an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. For FY2025 (ended June 2025), the interim dividend was ¥8 per share and the year-end dividend was ¥12 per share (including a ¥2 commemorative dividend for the company's 135th founding anniversary), for an annual total of ¥20. For FY2026 (ending June 2026), an interim dividend of ¥8 per share has already been paid, and a year-end dividend of ¥10 per share (forecast) is planned, for an annual total of ¥18. There is no revision to the earnings forecast.
ESG
On the environmental front, the company has set CO₂ emissions (Scope 1+2) reduction targets: against FY2024 actual emissions of 3,992t-CO₂, the FY2025 target is 3,196t-CO₂ (a 27% reduction versus the 74th fiscal year), and the FY2030 target is 3,003t-CO₂ (a 60% reduction versus the 65th fiscal year). On the human capital front, the company aims to achieve and maintain a 100% childcare leave utilization rate for both women and men, and continues to invest in diversity promotion and talent development. The proportion of women in managerial positions remains at 4.9%, which is an area requiring improvement.
