Shareholder Returns
No-dividend policy for both FY2026 (ending April 2026) and FY2027 (ending April 2027). Following the pre-listing FY2025 (ended April 2025) year-end dividend of ¥70.00 per share (pre-split actual amount), the company will continue to pay no dividends for the time being to prioritize growth investment. A small amount of treasury stock was repurchased (110 shares).
Dividend Policy
The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending April 2026) is ¥0.00 (no dividend). The forecast for FY2027 (ending April 2027) is also ¥0.00 (no dividend). As the company remains in a growth phase following its listing, it believes that strengthening internal reserves and prioritizing business expansion investments such as human capital investment and marketing investment represents the greatest return to shareholders, and therefore intends to pay no dividends for the time being. Note that, as a pre-listing dividend, a FY2025 (ended April 2025) year-end dividend of ¥70.00 per share (the actual dividend amount before the stock split) was already paid, with total dividends of ¥280 million and a payout ratio of 29.8%.
ESG
As a core sustainability policy, the company has set forth the continuous securing of excellent human resources, and is working to develop an environment where diverse talent can thrive, promote employment of people with disabilities, and establish systems that support women in balancing work and childcare. The identification of ESG materiality and the setting of numerical targets (such as the ratio of female managers) are under consideration as future tasks. The ratio of female employees among managers stood at 4.8% (as of the end of August 2025).
