Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay stable dividends in line with business performance, determined with consideration given to the payout ratio, dividend on equity (DOE), and the need to build up retained earnings.

For FY2026 (ending June 2026), an interim dividend of ¥45 (already paid) and a year-end ordinary dividend of ¥60 (forecast) are planned, for an annual dividend of ¥105. This represents an increase of ¥20 from the previous fiscal year's actual annual dividend of ¥85 (interim ¥40 + year-end ¥45). Based on the full-year earnings forecast, the payout ratio relative to earnings per share of ¥259.82 is approximately 40.4%.
