Governance
The company has adopted the audit and supervisory committee structure. The Board of Directors consists of 8 members in total: 5 directors (excluding audit and supervisory committee members), of whom 1 is an outside director, and 3 directors serving as audit and supervisory committee members, of whom 2 are outside directors. Of the 3 outside directors, 2 are independent officers. The Board of Directors met 17 times during the fiscal year under review, with all directors attending every meeting. The annual securities report does not indicate the establishment of a nomination committee or a compensation committee.
Risk Management
The Company has established an internal Risk Management Committee to deliberate on various risks, including sustainability-related risks, the business environment, and natural disasters. Matters discussed by the Risk Management Committee are used to determine response policies under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The Head of the Administration Division serves as the Chief Compliance Officer, conducting regular oversight and audits. The Company aims to enhance management oversight functions through collaboration among the three parties: the internal audit function, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, and the accounting auditor.
Shareholder Returns
For FY2027 (ending February 2027), the company plans an annual dividend of ¥24 (interim ¥12, year-end ¥12) on a post-stock-split basis, following the stock split (1 share to 2 shares, effective March 1, 2026). On a pre-split basis, this is equivalent to an annual dividend of ¥48. The prior fiscal year's actual dividend (pre-split) was ¥47 per annum. The company holds 203,544 treasury shares.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year, an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. Effective March 1, 2026, the company implemented a stock split at a ratio of 2 shares for every 1 share of common stock held. The dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending February 2027) is an annual dividend of ¥24 on a post-split basis (interim ¥12, year-end ¥12), equivalent to an annual dividend of ¥48 on a pre-split basis. The actual results for the previous consolidated fiscal year (FY2026, ended February 2026) were an annual dividend of ¥47 on a pre-split basis (interim ¥18, year-end ¥29). There is no revision from the previous earnings forecast.
ESG
Under its sustainability policy, the company works on copyright management, transactions with factories that maintain appropriate labor environments, and paperless initiatives. On the human capital front, it has set target indicators of a female manager ratio of 10% or higher (actual: 7.7%) and a male childcare leave uptake rate of 30% or higher (actual: 100.0%). Quantitative indicators for reducing environmental impact are not disclosed, as they are considered of low materiality. Oversight responsibility for sustainability rests with the Board of Directors, which has established a framework coordinating with the Risk Management Committee, the Compliance Committee, and the Management Council.
