Governance
As a company with a Board of Corporate Auditors, the company has 6 directors (3 of whom are outside directors, an outside director ratio of 50%) and 11 executive officers, separating business execution from oversight. As an advisory body to the Board of Directors, a voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee (composed of 3 members, chaired by an independent outside director) has been established to ensure transparency and objectivity.
Risk Management
The Company has established the Internal Control Committee, chaired by the President, as its highest decision-making body, with subordinate committees organized by field. The risk management system is operated based on the Internal Control Regulations, Compliance Regulations, Crisis Management Regulations, and other relevant regulations. In the event of an emergency, an Emergency Response Headquarters headed by the President is established to minimize losses, and the system is designed accordingly.
Shareholder Returns
Stable return policy targeting a payout ratio of approximately 40%. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net income increased due to subsidy income, but the dividend remained as planned at ¥40 per share annually (interim ¥20, year-end ¥20), a payout ratio of 34.9%. For the next fiscal year, FY2027 (ending March 2027), an annual dividend of ¥32 (interim ¥16, year-end ¥16) is planned, with an expected payout ratio of 40.8%.
Dividend Policy
The company pays dividends twice a year, interim and year-end, targeting a payout ratio of approximately 40%. Its basic policy is to make sustainable growth investments, prepare for unforeseen circumstances, and enhance returns to shareholders. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net income attributable to owners of the parent increased due to receipt of ¥2,370 million in subsidies related to new factory investment; however, since the subsidy was not considered profit derived from core business, it was not regarded as a source of dividend funds, and the dividend remained as planned at the start of the fiscal year at ¥40 per share annually (interim ¥20, year-end ¥20), resulting in a payout ratio of 34.9%. For the next fiscal year, FY2027 (ending March 2027), based on the forecasted consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥1,470 million, an annual dividend of ¥32 (interim ¥16, year-end ¥16) is planned, targeting a payout ratio of approximately 40%, with an expected payout ratio of 40.8%.
ESG
In 2023, the company formulated its Sustainability Basic Policy and identified its materiality issues, and established a Sustainability Committee (convened 7 times cumulatively) as an advisory body to the Board of Directors. On the environmental front, the company has obtained ISO14001 certification and is promoting the visualization and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, while on the human capital front, it has set quantitative targets—such as a female manager ratio of 8% (target) and a male childcare leave uptake rate of 80% (actual)—and is strengthening related disclosures.
