Dividend Policy
Under the medium-term management plan "Value Creation 3000 & 300," the basic policy is to place emphasis on the continuity of stable dividends and to continue progressive dividends without any dividend cuts. The dividend amount is determined by comprehensively considering consolidated business performance, the payout ratio, and retained earnings. Dividends are paid twice a year: an interim dividend (resolved by the Board of Directors) and a year-end dividend (resolved by the General Meeting of Shareholders). The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥138 per share (interim ¥66 + year-end ¥72), with a payout ratio of 46.5% and a dividend-to-net-assets ratio of 4.8%. The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2026) is ¥140 per share (interim ¥68 + year-end ¥72), with a projected payout ratio of 47.6%. Retained earnings are preferentially allocated to capital expenditure in existing core businesses and M&A, among other uses.
ESG
In response to climate change, the company has declared carbon neutrality for Scope 1+2 emissions by FY2050, and set a target to reduce emissions by 42% by FY2030 compared to FY2022 levels (revised upward in May 2025). In terms of human capital, under the medium-term management plan, the company plans to invest a cumulative total of over ¥4.0 billion over four years, with a male childcare leave uptake rate of 83.3% (FY2025) and an engagement score target of 4.0 (FY2026 target), while also continuing to obtain Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization recognition.
