Governance
The company operates as a company with an audit and supervisory committee, comprising 8 directors (3 of whom are outside directors, a 37.5% outside ratio). It has established a Nomination and Compensation Committee (a voluntary advisory body) and separates management oversight from business execution through an executive officer system.
Risk Management
The Risk Management Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, meets monthly and, based on the Risk Management Regulations, comprehensively identifies, evaluates, and implements countermeasures for risks across the Group as a whole. The development of a crisis management manual and the proper operation of the internal control system have also been confirmed, and no deficiencies were detected during the fiscal year under review.
Shareholder Returns
Dividends are paid twice a year. Annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥60 per share (interim ¥25 + year-end ¥35), with a payout ratio of 25.0%. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), an annual dividend of ¥66 (interim and year-end ¥33 each) is forecast. Share buybacks are also conducted (¥3,004 million in the current fiscal year).
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to provide stable and continuous profit returns, with dividends paid twice a year: an interim dividend (resolved by the Board of Directors) and a year-end dividend (resolved at the General Meeting of Shareholders). For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the interim dividend is ¥25 and the year-end dividend is ¥35, totaling ¥60 (total dividends of ¥4,581 million, payout ratio of 25.0%, dividend on equity ratio of 2.8%). For FY2027 (ending March 2027), the interim dividend is ¥33 and the year-end dividend is ¥33, totaling ¥66 (payout ratio of 26.4%) is forecast. Note that a stock split at a ratio of 3 shares for every 1 share of common stock was implemented effective April 1, 2025, so the FY2025 (ended March 2025) annual dividend of ¥150 is the pre-split amount.
ESG
In its response to climate change, the company has obtained SBTi certification (acquired April 2024) and aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50.4% by 2030 (versus 2018 levels) and achieve net zero by 2050, while promoting information disclosure based on TCFD. In terms of human capital, the ratio of female managers stood at 11.3% (actual result at end of FY2025, exceeding the 10% target), and a new target of 20% by the end of FY2030 has been set. The company also conducts regular CSR procurement audits at over approximately 200 factories, treating respect for human rights as a key materiality issue.
