Governance
The company is structured as a Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 10 directors (including 3 outside directors). It has voluntarily established a Nomination Advisory Committee and a Compensation Advisory Committee, with independent outside directors serving as chairs, thereby ensuring the independence and objectivity of the Board of Directors.
Risk Management
A Risk Management Subcommittee (chaired by the Representative Director and President) has been established under the Internal Control Promotion Committee. It meets on a regular basis at least once a year to identify group-wide risks, develop countermeasures, and manage progress. A system is in place whereby deliberation results are regularly reported to the Board of Directors.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to target a total payout ratio of approximately 40% and to continue stable dividends supported by business performance. Dividends are paid twice a year, an interim dividend (record date: September 30) and a year-end dividend. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the annual dividend per share is ¥35 (interim ¥17 + year-end ¥18), with a dividend payout ratio of 35.4%. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), an annual dividend per share of ¥30 (interim ¥15 + year-end ¥15) is planned, with an expected dividend payout ratio of 49.1%. Retained earnings will be allocated to strengthening existing businesses and the financial structure.
ESG
The company positions human capital as the foundation of its management base, promoting diversified recruitment, on-the-job training, support for obtaining certifications, and work-style reforms (such as paid leave and telework). While safety indicators (lost-time injury frequency rate and severity rate) achieved their targets, the turnover rate fell short of the 5.0% target at an actual 6.5%, and the company is working on improvements using engagement surveys.
