Governance
The company has adopted the structure of a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. Of the 10 directors, 4 are independent outside directors (outside director ratio of 40%). A Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established, which met 3 times during the fiscal year under review. The company has introduced an executive officer system to separate decision-making from business execution.
Risk Management
The Head of the Corporate Strategy Division serves as the officer responsible, with dedicated sustainability personnel assigned. Risks and opportunities are assessed along the two axes of impact and likelihood of occurrence, and a framework has been established whereby monitoring is conducted by the Sustainability Committee before regular reporting to the Board of Directors. Four key risks have been identified: "cybersecurity," "dependence on electricity," "labor shortages," and "intensifying competition."
Shareholder Returns
During the medium-term management plan period (FY2025–FY2027), the company targets a payout ratio of 100%. For FY2025 (ending December 2025), an annual dividend of ¥39 (interim ¥17, year-end ¥22) will be implemented. For FY2026 (ending December 2026), an annual dividend of ¥23 (¥5 at second-quarter end, ¥18 at year-end) is forecast (the dividend forecast has been revised).
Dividend Policy
The company's policy is to secure internal reserves for future business development and strengthening of its management foundation, while returning dividends in a manner responsive to prevailing conditions. During the medium-term management plan period (FY2025–FY2027), it targets a payout ratio of 100% in order to achieve its ROE target and optimize its balance sheet. Dividends are paid twice per fiscal year, as an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥5 at the end of the second quarter and ¥18 at year-end, totaling ¥23 (revised from the most recently announced forecast). The Articles of Incorporation stipulate that treasury share buybacks may be carried out flexibly by resolution of the Board of Directors.
ESG
The Sustainability Committee (established July 2021, chaired by the Representative Director and President, meets twice a year) oversees ESG matters overall, including climate change and human capital, with supervision by the Board of Directors. In July 2025, materiality was redefined into three items: "① Digital solutions that open up the future of medical and long-term care," "② A safe information infrastructure and governance that build trust," and "③ Health of people and the planet that supports sustainable growth." As FY2030 KPIs, the company has set targets including a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1+2) versus 2020, a 30% ratio of female managers, and a 30% rate of paternity leave uptake among male employees. Currently, the ratio of women in management positions is 24.4% on a consolidated basis, and the paternity leave uptake rate among male employees is 67.0% (for the submitting company).
