Dividend Policy
While basically maintaining stable dividends, the company aims to return profits to shareholders through dividends from surplus, taking into comprehensive account business performance and financial condition.

The articles of incorporation stipulate that dividends of surplus can be determined flexibly by resolution of the Board of Directors. Recent dividend record: for FY2025 (ended June 2025), an annual dividend of ¥15 (¥7 at the end of the second quarter plus ¥8 at year-end). For FY2026 (ending June 2026), a dividend of ¥10 (ordinary dividend of ¥8 plus a commemorative dividend of ¥2) was already paid at the end of the second quarter, with a full-year forecast of ¥18 (ordinary dividend of ¥16 plus a commemorative dividend of ¥2). Additionally, as of August 28, 2025, the company cancelled 2,000,000 treasury shares (reducing capital surplus and treasury stock by ¥456 million each).
