Shareholder Returns
The basic policy is to achieve long-term, stable dividends, and for FY2026 (ending March 2026) as well, an annual dividend of ¥2.50 per share (year-end only, funded from capital surplus) will be paid. The same amount of ¥2.50 is planned for FY2027 (ending March 2027). Due to net losses for two consecutive periods, the payout ratio cannot be calculated. Share buybacks for the current period were minimal, at ¥13 thousand (equivalent to 55 shares).
