Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (transitioned in June 2023). The Board of Directors consists of 11 members (including 4 outside directors serving on the Audit and Supervisory Committee), and voluntary Nomination Advisory Committee and Performance Evaluation Committee have been established, with independent outside directors comprising a majority of each committee.
Risk Management
The company manages risk through regular reporting on business execution status at Board of Directors and executive officer meetings, monitoring by the Internal Audit Office, compliance activities by the Compliance Committee, and the establishment of an internal whistleblowing system. Sustainability risks are discussed at executive officer meetings and then reported to and overseen by the Board of Directors.
Shareholder Returns
The annual dividend of ¥17 per share (interim ¥8.50, year-end ¥8.50) will be maintained in FY2026 (ending March 2026). Total dividends amount to ¥416 million; the payout ratio is not calculable due to the recording of a net loss for the period. The same amount of ¥17 is forecast for the next period (FY2027, ending March 2027). The articles of incorporation stipulate that share buybacks may be conducted flexibly by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to provide long-term and stable profit distribution to shareholders, with dividends paid twice a year (interim and year-end). For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the interim dividend is ¥8.50 per share and the year-end dividend is ¥8.50 per share (annual total ¥17), with total dividends of ¥416 million. Due to the recording of a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥783 million, the payout ratio is not calculable. The policy for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is to maintain the annual dividend of ¥17 (interim ¥8.50, year-end ¥8.50), with a forecast payout ratio of 69.4%.
