Governance
Strengthened the board of directors' oversight function as a company with an audit and supervisory committee. Established a voluntary Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee (comprising 4 members: 2 internal directors and 2 independent outside directors, with outside directors accounting for at least half) to ensure fairness, transparency, and objectivity in matters of nomination and compensation. Introduced an executive officer system to separate management decision-making from business execution. The accounting auditor is Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC.
Risk Management
Established the "Risk Management Regulations" and set up a "Risk Management Committee" chaired by the Representative Director and President. The Company has established systems for early risk detection, preparation of countermeasures, and emergency response, and reviews its BCP (Business Continuity Plan) periodically every December. A Risk Management Working Group is established as needed to examine risk assessments and countermeasures for each department. A Compliance Committee and internal whistleblowing system (internal: Audit and Supervisory Committee; external: outside law firm) have also been established.
Shareholder Returns
Revised the annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) to ¥118 (year-end lump sum) (a significant increase from the previous fiscal year's actual result of ¥40). Noted that if all 379,000 shares of stock acquisition rights are exercised, the year-end dividend would be ¥95. Interim dividend is ¥0. Share buybacks can be conducted flexibly under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.
Dividend Policy
The policy is to maintain a consolidated payout ratio of 30% or more, with a minimum dividend floor set at a consolidated DOE (Dividend on Equity ratio) of 1.0% (applicable from the FY2024 results). For FY2025 (ending December 2025), the standard was not met due to a deficit in retained earnings, so a dividend of ¥40 per share was implemented using other capital surplus as the source. For FY2026 (ending December 2026), the annual dividend forecast has been revised to ¥118 (year-end lump sum) in line with the revision of business performance forecasts. Note that if all unexercised stock acquisition rights (379,000 shares) are exercised during the current fiscal year, the year-end dividend would be ¥95.
ESG
Materiality items are set as (1) response to climate change issues, (2) human capital investment and diversity, and (3) investment in intellectual property. For climate change, the target is a 30% reduction in Scope 1+2 CO2 emissions by FY2030 versus FY2019 (domestic sites), pursued through prioritized LNG use, adoption of high-efficiency equipment, and power-saving measures (FY2025 actual: -18.6% versus FY2019). For human capital, disclosed results include a female employee ratio of 18% (exceeding the 15% target), a female manager ratio of 9.3%, and a male childcare leave take-up rate of 50.0%. The number of patents held domestically and overseas has been maintained at around 200 for approximately the past 10 years, reflecting continued investment in intellectual property.
