The Risk & Crisis Management Committee, established in 2021, oversees integrated risk management, promoting prevention and crisis response against natural disasters, compliance violations, information security incidents, and other risks. Climate change risk is identified and assessed by the Sustainability Promotion Department and integrated into company-wide risk management, with KPI management based on materiality, the Risk & Crisis Management Committee meeting at least four times a year, and compliance, BCP, and information security training for all employees conducted at least once a year.
Shareholder Returns
The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥90 per share (post stock-split basis; ¥180 on a pre-split basis). Share buybacks are being conducted from February to October 2026, with 2,112,100 shares acquired for ¥14,601 million in the first quarter. The company continues its stable shareholder return policy.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year, as an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The annual dividend for FY2025 (ended December 2025) was ¥170 per share (interim ¥70 + year-end ¥100). The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥90 per share (after accounting for the 1-for-2 stock split effective April 1, 2026; ¥180 on a pre-split basis). The interim dividend for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is undetermined, as earnings forecasts for the cumulative first half have not been prepared, and the year-end dividend will be the amount obtained by subtracting the interim dividend from the annual dividend.
