Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. Consists of 5 directors (including 1 outside director, Makoto Kawamura) and 3 corporate auditors (including 2 outside corporate auditors). Voluntary Nomination Committee and Compensation Committee have been established to strengthen the independence of the Board of Directors, with an outside director serving as chairperson of each. The Board of Directors held 24 meetings during the fiscal year under review.
Risk Management
Based on the Basic Risk Management Regulations established in 2008, risks are classified and managed under three categories: (i) risks from disasters and accidents, (ii) management risks, and (iii) political, economic, and social risks. The Internal Audit Office, which reports directly to the President, conducts internal audits of all departments once a year, and continuously improves the internal control system through regular reporting to the Board of Directors.
Shareholder Returns
The company's basic policy is stable dividends, and it plans to pay a dividend of ¥40 per share (year-end lump sum) for FY2026 (ending September 2026) as well. Share buybacks have already been carried out (117,300 shares acquired for ¥185 million in the current interim period). No numerical target for the payout ratio has been disclosed.
Dividend Policy
In order to enhance shareholder value over the medium to long term, the company allocates profits with an emphasis on stable dividends, taking into account business performance and internal reserves. In principle, dividends of surplus are paid once a year (year-end), with the year-end dividend resolved at the general shareholders' meeting. The actual dividend for FY2025 (ended September 2025) was ¥40 per share (¥0 at the second quarter-end plus ¥40 at year-end). The forecast for FY2026 (ending September 2026) also maintains ¥40 per share (year-end lump sum). Dividends paid during the current interim period amounted to ¥217 million.
ESG
Important sustainability matters are deliberated and resolved by the Board of Directors. Regarding human capital, the company implements measures across three phases—"recruitment, development, and utilization"—including hierarchical training, support for obtaining qualifications, multi-skilling, a Health and Safety Committee (meeting monthly), and the establishment of no-overtime days. However, quantitative ESG-related indicators and targets have not yet been set, and no specific disclosures regarding climate change have been confirmed at this time.
