The Board of Directors consists of 10 members in total: 6 executive directors and 4 audit and supervisory committee members (all of whom are outside directors). The ratio of outside directors is 40% (4 out of 10 members). The company has established a voluntary Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee and an ESG Committee to strengthen governance.
Risk Management
The ESG Committee and each division have established a risk identification and board-reporting structure. In FY2025 (ended February 2025), the company suffered damage from a ransomware attack (recording ¥713 million in information security countermeasure costs as an extraordinary loss), and is prioritizing the strengthening of its information security framework, including building a new environment and introducing continuous monitoring. A multi-layered internal control system has been established, comprising the Compliance Committee (meeting 11 times per year), the Internal Audit Office (2 dedicated staff), and the Three-Way Audit Liaison Meeting (held 4 times per year).
Shareholder Returns
The company maintains a policy of continuing stable dividends, and forecasts an annual dividend of ¥10 per share for FY2027 (ending February 2027) (¥0 at Q2-end, ¥10 at year-end). This maintains the same level as the previous fiscal year's results. No mention of share buybacks.
Dividend Policy
The policy is to continue stable dividend distributions while securing internal reserves for future business development and strengthening the financial structure. Actual results for FY2026 (ending February 2026) were an annual dividend of ¥10 per share (¥0 at Q2-end, ¥10 at year-end). The forecast for FY2027 (ending February 2027) is likewise an annual dividend of ¥10 per share (¥0 at Q2-end, ¥10 at year-end). Dividends are paid once a year as a year-end dividend (interim dividends are permitted under the Articles of Incorporation). There has been no revision from the most recently announced dividend forecast.
