Governance
The company has a Company with Audit and Supervisory Committee structure. The Board of Directors consists of 7 members (including 3 outside directors, all of whom are Audit and Supervisory Committee members and independent officers), with an outside director ratio of approximately 42.9%. The company has introduced an executive officer system, separating decision-making/oversight functions from business execution functions. While no Nomination Committee or Compensation Committee has been confirmed to exist, a framework has been established whereby the Audit and Supervisory Committee verifies the appropriateness of the appointment and compensation of executive directors.
Risk Management
The company has established a Risk Management and Compliance Committee as an advisory body to the Board of Directors, managing four risk categories—credit risk, compliance risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk—by the responsible departments. Regular audits of the entire group are conducted by the Internal Audit Office, which reports directly to the President, and a legal risk management framework is in place through advisory contracts with law firms, along with a legal check system for each project. Regarding sustainability risk as well, the Board of Directors serves as the highest decision-making body for deliberation and oversight.
Shareholder Returns
The year-end dividend for FY2025 (ended September 2025) was ¥3 per share (¥3 annually). For FY2026 (ending September 2026), a year-end dividend of ¥5 (¥5 annually) is forecast, representing an increase. Share buybacks (¥48 million) were conducted during the current interim period. The company maintains its dividend policy of comprehensively considering business performance, internal reserves, and business development.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay dividends based on a comprehensive consideration of business performance and future business development, with an emphasis on balancing sufficient internal reserves with shareholder returns. No interim dividend is paid (second-quarter-end dividend of ¥0). For FY2025 (ended September 2025), the year-end dividend was ¥3 and the annual dividend was ¥3 (total dividends of ¥576 million). For FY2026 (ending September 2026), a year-end dividend of ¥5 and an annual dividend of ¥5 are forecast (unchanged from the previous forecast). Share buybacks (¥48 million) were conducted during the current interim period.
ESG
The Sustainability Basic Policy is set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, with the Board of Directors serving as the ultimate decision-making body for oversight. The expansion of human capital is positioned as the most important issue, and in April 2025 the company raised regular employee salaries by an average of 30% and increased the starting salary for new graduates to ¥350,000. A restricted stock compensation plan has been introduced to strengthen personnel retention. At the subsidiary Moomin Story Co., Ltd., the ratio of female managers reached 46.9% (against a target of 40% or more), and the annual paid leave utilization rate reached 81.8%. The establishment of quantitative ESG indicators and targets for the Investment Banking Business remains an ongoing matter for future consideration.
