Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors comprises 13 members including 5 outside directors (outside ratio approx. 38.5%), with a director term of 1 year. A Nomination and Compensation Committee (3 members, including 2 outside directors) has been established as an advisory body to the Board of Directors to ensure transparency in nominations and compensation. An executive officer system was introduced in 2001 to separate oversight and execution.
Risk Management
The company has established a Sustainability Committee, Internal Control Committee, Compliance Committee, and Legal Affairs Office to manage all business risks, including climate change risk, on a cross-organizational basis. The deliberation results of each committee are reported to the Board of Directors, and a BCP framework based on a contingency response manual (contingency plan) has also been put in place.
Shareholder Returns
The company's basic policy is progressive dividends. The interim dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥55 per share (an increase from ¥45 in the same period last year), and the full-year forecast is ¥110 (up from ¥95 in the previous fiscal year). The share buyback limit has been expanded to ¥5.0 billion / up to 1.3 million shares, and the cancellation of 2.0 million shares has also been resolved. This reflects a strengthened, proactive stance on shareholder returns.
Dividend Policy
The company aims to maintain a stable dividend regardless of the business environment while pursuing progressive dividends that add profit distribution in line with business performance. Dividends of surplus are determined by resolution of the Board of Directors (twice a year: interim and year-end). The interim dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥55 per share, and the full-year forecast is ¥110 (an increase from the previous fiscal year's actual ¥95). Internal reserves are allocated to capital expenditures such as rental assets.
