A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established, with 4 of its 5 members being outside directors, and an outside director serving as chairperson.
Risk Management
The company has established Risk Management Regulations and holds a Risk Management Committee, chaired by the head of the Administration Division, twice a year on a regular basis (with extraordinary meetings held as needed). The committee identifies, evaluates, and deliberates countermeasures for management risks in general, including climate change and natural disasters, and reports to the Board of Directors under this established framework.
Shareholder Returns
Continuing target of 30% annual dividend payout ratio. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), a dividend of ¥43 per share was implemented (total dividends of ¥202 million, payout ratio of 30.0%). For FY2027 (ending March 2027), ¥44 per share is planned (expected payout ratio of 30.3%). No share buybacks were conducted in the current period.
Dividend Policy
Dividends are paid with a target annual payout ratio of 30%, while securing internal reserves to support corporate growth and respond to changes in the business environment. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), a dividend of ¥43 per share (total dividends of ¥202 million) was implemented, resulting in a payout ratio of 30.0%. Note that a 3-for-1 stock split of common shares was implemented effective October 1, 2025, and the ¥97 dividend for FY2025 (ended March 2025) represents the actual dividend amount before the split. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), a dividend of ¥44 per share is planned (expected payout ratio of 30.3%). The company's basic policy is to pay a lump-sum dividend at fiscal year-end, and no interim dividends are implemented.
ESG
Completed calculation of Scope 1–3 GHG emissions and confirmed that Scope 3 accounts for approximately 84% of the total; obtained an EcoVadis badge. Set and disclosed quantitative targets such as the company vehicle eco-car ratio of 33.6% (exceeding the 25% target) and the male childcare leave take-up rate of 50% (exceeding the 30% target). The ratio of female managers and the number of paid leave days taken fell short of targets, representing areas for future improvement.
