Governance
A company with a Board of Corporate Auditors, consisting of 9 directors (including 3 outside directors, all of whom are independent officers) and 4 corporate auditors (including 3 outside corporate auditors). The company has voluntarily established a Nomination Committee and a Compensation Committee, with independent officers accounting for a majority of members to ensure independence and objectivity. The executive officer system separates management oversight from business execution.
Risk Management
Responsible departments have been established for market risk, public regulatory risk, quality risk, relationship risk, and other risks, which are managed on a group-wide basis. The Internal Audit Office (7 members), reporting directly to the President, conducts monitoring in coordination with the Audit & Supervisory Board Members and the accounting auditor, and a system is in place to immediately establish a “Disaster Response Headquarters” or similar body in the event of a natural disaster or product accident, in order to prevent damage from spreading. Climate change risk is assessed and managed by the Sustainability Subcommittee with reference to the IEA and IPCC 1.5°C and 4°C scenarios, and material matters are reported to the Board of Directors.
Shareholder Returns
Basic policy is one year-end dividend payment per year, emphasizing a balance between strengthening the financial base and growth investment on the premise of maintaining stable dividends. For FY2026 (ending July 2026), a year-end dividend of ¥72 per share (post stock split) is forecast, equivalent to ¥360 before considering the stock split. The actual dividend for the previous fiscal year was ¥300 per share.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay a dividend once a year at fiscal year-end, aiming to expand and enhance shareholder returns while balancing "strengthening the financial base" and "investment toward realizing mid- to long-term management strategy," on the premise of maintaining stable dividends. The actual result for FY2025 (ended July 2025) was ¥300 per share. The forecast for FY2026 (ending July 2026) is ¥72 per share (a stock split at a ratio of 5 shares for every 1 share of common stock was implemented effective January 21, 2026, so this is equivalent to ¥360 before considering the stock split). Note that this represents a revision from the dividend forecast announced on March 4, 2026.
ESG
As part of climate change response, the company conducted IEA/IPCC scenario analysis and set a target of reducing Scope 1+2 CO2 emissions by 50% from the base year by 2030 (100% reduction by 2050). Total Scope 1+2 emissions for FY2025 (ended July 2025) were 5,369 t-CO2 (92.5% YoY), with reductions progressing smoothly. In terms of human capital, the company achieved its targets across various indicators: the ratio of female managers stood at 7.6% (target: 5.0% or higher), the ratio of female new graduate hires was 43.9% (target: 40.0% or higher), the female childcare leave uptake rate was 100%, and the male childcare leave uptake rate was 107%.
