Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to strengthen internal reserves in order to increase shareholder value over the long term, to actively expand business operations and strengthen the corporate structure, and to maintain stable dividends to shareholders. The number of dividend payments per fiscal year is in principle limited to a single year-end dividend, to be determined in light of profit conditions and other factors. The actual result for FY2026 (ended January 2026) was a year-end dividend of ¥35 (annual dividend of ¥35). The dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending January 2027) is ¥0 at the second-quarter end and ¥35 at year-end, for an annual dividend of ¥35, unchanged from the previous fiscal year's actual result.
