Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 8 members (including 4 outside directors, a 50% outside ratio), and all 3 corporate auditors are outside auditors. A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established, comprising 3 members (2 independent outside directors and 1 representative director), which deliberates on the appointment/dismissal of directors and compensation matters. The Board of Directors met 16 times during the fiscal year under review.
Risk Management
The Risk Management Committee convenes in principle four times a year to discuss a wide range of risks. Material sustainability issues identified and assessed by the Sustainability Committee are coordinated with the Risk Management Committee and integrated into a comprehensive risk management framework. In the event of an emergency, the Representative Director and President establishes an emergency response headquarters to ensure a system for early resolution.
Shareholder Returns
The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending August 2026) is ¥18 per share (year-end lump sum). This represents an increase of ¥3 from the FY2025 actual of ¥15. No revision has been made to the dividend forecast. No mention of share buybacks is made in this financial results summary.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay a year-end dividend once per year. The FY2025 (ended August 2025) actual was ¥15 per share (year-end dividend), and the FY2026 (ending August 2026) forecast is ¥18 per share (year-end dividend). There has been no revision to the dividend forecast from the most recent announcement.
ESG
The company positions human capital management as a top priority, setting and managing indicators such as the male childcare leave uptake rate of 100% (target of 100% achieved), the ratio of female engineers at 9.9% (target: 10.0%), and the paid leave utilization rate at 85.8% (target: 90.0%). A Sustainability Committee meets once every half-year, with a governance structure in place under the oversight of the Board of Directors. The turnover rate stands at 6.5%, exceeding the target (below 5%), and improvement remains a challenge.
