Governance
A company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The Board of Directors comprises 8 members (4 directors who are not Audit and Supervisory Committee members plus 4 directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee members, including 3 outside directors). A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee chaired by an outside director has been established to ensure transparency and objectivity. During the fiscal year under review, the Board of Directors met 16 times, with all directors attending every meeting.
Risk Management
The Risk Management Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, meets once per quarter to conduct risk assessment and promote compliance. The company has established a code of ethical conduct, an internal whistleblowing system, and disaster prevention manuals, and works to prevent risks before they occur and detect them at an early stage through audits by the Audit and Supervisory Committee, internal audits, and collaboration with outside experts.
Shareholder Returns
For the fiscal year ending February 2026 (full year), no dividend will be paid at either the interim or year-end stage (annual dividend of ¥0). For the fiscal year ending February 2027 as well, an annual dividend of ¥0 is forecast, with ¥0 at the second-quarter end and ¥0 at year-end. There is no change to the dividend policy or share buyback policy.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year (interim and year-end), targeting a payout ratio of 20% under IFRS (consolidated) and 30% under Japanese GAAP (non-consolidated). However, for the fiscal year ending February 2026 (full year), no dividend will be paid at either the interim or year-end stage, resulting in an annual dividend of ¥0. The forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027 also calls for an annual dividend of ¥0, with ¥0 at the second-quarter end and ¥0 at year-end, unchanged from the most recently announced forecast. In addition, the basic policy is to enhance the total payout ratio through flexible and agile share buybacks, taking into account the level of internal reserves and investment opportunities.
ESG
The company positions human capital as the source of value creation, with "employees first" as its management guideline. The proportion of female managers improved to 21.7% in FY2025 (ending February 2025) (24.0% as of end-April 2025), and the male childcare leave uptake rate averaged 28.6% over the past three years. On climate change, the company discloses zero Scope 1 emissions, while prioritizing governance and human capital disclosure over TCFD. The company is promoting organizational development, including a revamp of its grading system in March 2024 and the establishment of a dedicated culture-building organization, the "Mirai Sozo Shitsu" (Future Creation Office), in March 2025.
