Risk Management

Shareholder Returns
No dividend continues for FY2026 (ending March 2026) (annual dividend of ¥0). No dividend is also forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027). The company maintains its policy of prioritizing capital expenditure, R&D, and human resource acquisition. The Articles of Incorporation include a provision allowing share repurchases to be executed flexibly by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Dividend Policy
While recognizing shareholder returns as an important issue, the company has not paid dividends from retained earnings since its founding, prioritizing capital expenditure for expanding diamond single crystal manufacturing facilities, enhancing R&D functions, and securing human resources. The annual dividend was ¥0 for both FY2025 (ended March 2025) and FY2026 (ending March 2026). The forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is also ¥0. The policy is to consider dividends in the future while taking into account business performance and financial condition; when implemented, dividends would in principle be paid once annually as a year-end dividend, with the Board of Directors as the decision-making body.
ESG
Renewable energy electricity is used at all facilities, and solar panels have been installed at the Shima Plant (covering approximately 6% of daytime electricity usage).
