Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. In FY2025, the Board of Directors comprises 7 directors (including 3 independent outside directors, a 43% outside director ratio), with all outside directors also serving as members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee. The company has adopted an executive officer system, separating management oversight from business execution. The Board of Directors met 17 times during the year (with a high overall attendance rate). Neither a nomination committee nor a compensation committee has been established.
Risk Management
The company maintains a standing Sustainability Management and Risk Management Committee, which identifies risks and opportunities based on the classification framework set out in its risk management guidelines. Identification results are reported to the monthly Executive Officers' Meeting, and important matters are discussed and evaluated by the Board of Directors, which then determines measures to be taken. In the event a risk materializes, a countermeasure headquarters headed by the President is established to ensure a swift response.
Shareholder Returns
Basic policy is a single year-end dividend. Actual result for FY2025 (ending December 2025) was ¥3 per share (year-end lump sum). FY2026 (ending December 2026) forecast is also ¥3 per share (year-end ¥3, interim ¥0), the same amount. Share buybacks have been conducted, and the number of treasury shares at the end of Q1 was 405,104 shares (an increase from 302,110 shares at the end of the previous fiscal year).
Dividend Policy
While securing internal reserves necessary for future R&D, business expansion, and strengthening of the management foundation, dividends are implemented based on a comprehensive consideration of the business environment, business performance, financial condition, and investment plans, balancing the maximization of shareholder benefit with internal reserves. The basic policy is a single year-end dividend, and under the Articles of Incorporation, dividends can be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. The dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥3 year-end, ¥3 total (the same amount as the previous fiscal year's actual result), unchanged from the most recently announced forecast.
ESG
The company has set "Overseas Expansion / International Activities," "Business Development in the IT Industry," and "Security" as key sustainability priorities, disclosing quantitative targets and results for each. In human capital, it is pursuing three strategies—"Strengthening Recruitment in Japan and China," "Strengthening Human Resource Development," and "Promoting Diverse Talent"—achieving a 13.0% ratio of women in management positions (target: 30% by 2030) and a male childcare leave uptake rate of 66.7% (target: 50% or higher). Security training continues to be conducted at least twice a year, maintaining a 100% participation rate.
