Governance
A company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The board consists of 9 directors (5 of whom are outside directors, an outside director ratio of approximately 55.6%). In FY2025 (ending August 2025), the Board of Directors met 23 times during the year, with an attendance rate of 100% for all members. An advisory committee (chaired by an outside director) has been established to deliberate on nominations and compensation, ensuring independence and transparency.
Risk Management
The Administration Division oversees company-wide risk, while the head of each department manages the risks associated with their respective operations. The ESG Committee quantitatively evaluates sustainability-related risks and opportunities based on their short-term, medium-term, and long-term financial impact, and reports to the Board of Directors once a year. The Internal Audit Section audits the status of risk management, and a system is in place to utilize external experts in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
Shareholder Returns
Basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year (interim and year-end). Actual results for FY2025 (ending August 2025) were ¥40 per share annually (¥15 interim + ¥25 year-end). For FY2026 (ending August 2026), a dividend of ¥38 (pre-stock-split) was already paid at the second-quarter end, and the year-end dividend forecast is ¥26 (post-stock-split). A 1-for-2 stock split was implemented effective April 1, 2026.
Dividend Policy
Basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year, interim and year-end. Actual results for FY2025 (ending August 2025) were ¥40 per share annually (¥15 interim + ¥25 year-end). For FY2026 (ending August 2026), ¥38 (pre-stock-split) has already been paid at the second-quarter end, and the year-end dividend forecast is ¥26 (post-stock-split). Note that a stock split at a ratio of 2 shares for every 1 share of common stock was implemented effective April 1, 2026, so a simple comparison of dividend amounts before and after the split is not possible. There has been no revision from the most recently announced dividend forecast.
ESG
The ESG Committee, chaired by an outside director, meets monthly to identify materiality issues and monitor KPIs. On climate change response, the company is pursuing a net-zero target by 2040 and expanding solar power generation (targeting an in-house power generation ratio of 27% or more by FY2028, with an actual ratio of 13.3%). For human capital, the company has set quantitative targets such as developing 100 engineers and achieving a female regular employee ratio of 20% or more by 2030, and discloses results such as a childcare leave utilization rate of 100% for both men and women, and welfare expenses per employee of ¥111,023 (FY2025, ended August 2025).
