Governance
As a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, the company has established a system in which the Board of Directors, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, the Internal Audit Office, the Risk Management Committee, and the Management Committee are organically linked. During the fiscal year under review, the Board of Directors met 20 times, with all three outside directors (Audit and Supervisory Committee members) achieving a 100% attendance rate.
Risk Management
The Risk Management Committee, chaired by the Representative Director, meets at least four times a year to discuss company-wide risks and countermeasures. Audit and Supervisory Committee members participate in this committee, and the company formulates basic policies based on its risk management regulations, manages individual risks, and conducts education and training, among other activities.
Shareholder Returns
Stable dividends are the basic policy; for FY2026 (ending March 2026), a dividend of ¥40 per share (total ¥110 million) was paid. Because a net loss was recorded for the period, the payout ratio cannot be calculated. A dividend of ¥40 per share is also forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027). No mention of share buybacks.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to implement a stable dividend policy while taking into account the strengthening of the financial structure and the need to build up retained earnings necessary for active business development. Dividends of surplus are implemented based on resolutions of the Board of Directors (both interim and year-end dividends are determined by Board of Directors resolution). Dividend per share over the past three fiscal years: FY2024 (ending March 2024) ¥40 (total ¥107 million), FY2025 (ending March 2025) ¥40 (total ¥109 million), FY2026 (ending March 2026) ¥40 (total ¥110 million). The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is ¥40 per share (paid as a single year-end dividend). Note that because the Company recorded a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥457 million for FY2026 (ending March 2026), the payout ratio cannot be calculated (—). The dividend-to-net-assets ratio is 3.4%.
ESG
Disclosure of governance, risk management, strategy, and metrics/targets with reference to the TCFD framework. The Company positions human capital as a source of corporate value creation and promotes initiatives across four areas—recruitment, development, systems, and culture—recording a management/specialist personnel ratio of 40% and a Group Value embodiment score of 3.7 (on a 5-point scale) for FY2026 (ending March 2026). The Company recognizes that the direct impact of climate change is relatively limited within its business domain.
