Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The Board of Directors consists of 7 directors (of which 4 are outside directors, an outside ratio of approximately 57%), and all 3 members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee are outside directors. Because a majority of outside directors is secured, no separate Compensation Committee or Nomination Committee has been established. The Board of Directors holds regular meetings once a month, and held 19 meetings in total during the current fiscal year, including 7 extraordinary meetings.
Risk Management
The Company has established a system in which the administrative department centrally manages risk across the entire group in accordance with its Risk Management Regulations, with the internal audit officer reporting to the Representative Director. Regarding climate change risk, the Company has identified physical risks (heavy rain, typhoons, etc.) and transition risks (tightening of GHG regulations, EU battery regulations, etc.), and has formulated countermeasures including insurance coverage, emissions management, and consideration of adopting renewable energy. Consolidated subsidiaries such as W-SCOPE KOREA have obtained ISO14001/45001 certification. Although an event existed at the end of the current consolidated fiscal year that raises material doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Company has determined that no material uncertainty exists, based on the positive operating cash flow, cash on hand, financing plans with financial institutions, and the outlook for receipt of a subsidy from the Hungarian government. In addition, the market capitalization of tradable shares on the Prime Market fell below the listing maintenance criteria (¥10,000 million), standing at ¥9,506 million, and FY2027 (ending January 2027) is designated as an improvement grace period; the Company is also considering a transition to the Standard Market.
Shareholder Returns
No dividend to continue in FY2027 (ending January 2027) as well. Annual dividend forecast is ¥0.00 (¥0.00 at second-quarter end, ¥0.00 at year-end). No mention of share buybacks or shareholder benefit programs.
Dividend Policy
The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending January 2026) was ¥0.00 (no dividend). The dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending January 2027) is also planned at ¥0.00 for the year (¥0.00 at second-quarter end, ¥0.00 at year-end), continuing the no-dividend policy. There is no revision from the most recently announced dividend forecast. Details of the dividend policy are not included in this financial results report.
ESG
The company has established an ESG Committee directly under the Board of Directors, which reports on a quarterly basis. On the environmental front, the company has identified GHG emissions (Scope 1: 32,595 tCO2-eq; Scope 2: 58,886 tCO2-eq, 2025) and formulated reduction plans, setting quantitative targets such as a 10% reduction in PE waste and a 10% reduction in wastewater volume. In terms of occupational health and safety, the company has obtained ISO 45001 certification, and in 2025 recorded 6 injuries and zero fatalities, with the injury frequency rate improving to 5.31%. In terms of human capital, challenges remain, with the ratio of female managers at 0.0% (target: 10% or higher) and the gender pay gap at 46.5% (target: 40% or lower).
