Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. Ten directors in total (six directors excluding Audit and Supervisory Committee members, of whom one is outside; four Audit and Supervisory Committee members, of whom three are outside). A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established as an advisory body to the Board of Directors, with all independent outside directors included as members to ensure transparency. An executive officer system has also been introduced.
Risk Management
The company has established a Compliance and Risk Management Committee composed of executive directors, full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee members, and executive officers, which has identified and manages 17 priority risks selected from 235 items identified across all business locations. In coordination with the Sustainability Committee, the company also conducts quantitative assessments of climate change risks (transition and physical risks) based on TCFD recommendations.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay dividends of surplus twice a year (interim dividend by resolution of the Board of Directors; year-end dividend by resolution of the general meeting of shareholders). Actual FY2026 (ending February 2026) dividend was ¥55.00 per share (interim ¥20 + year-end ¥35). The forecast for FY2027 (ending February 2027) is ¥55.00 per share (interim ¥25 + year-end ¥30). Note that at the Board of Directors meeting held on June 11, 2026, a resolution was passed to dispose of treasury shares as restricted stock compensation, and the forecast for earnings per share (¥168.77) takes this impact into account.
