Return to Shareholders (Dividends, etc.)

Basic Policies Regarding Distribution of Profits and Dividends

The basic policy as detailed in the medium-term management plan 2030, starting with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, is to enhance shareholder returns by increasing earnings per share through sustainable profit growth. As a specific policy for returns, the Company will maintain a dividend payout ratio of 35% or more and continue with a progressive dividend policy until the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.
Profit attributable to owners of parent for FY2025 was ¥96.7 billion. Taking into account that this amount exceeds the full-year forecast of ¥90.0 billion announced in November 2025 and based on the shareholder return policy outlined in the medium-term management plan 2030, the Company will increase the year-end dividends by ¥3.5 per share from the existing forecast to ¥26.0 per share. Together with the second quarter-end dividends (¥22.0 per share), the annual dividends will be ¥48.0 per share at a dividend payout ratio of 35.4% (up 0.1 percentage points from the full-year forecast). For the next fiscal year, the Company plans to pay second quarter-end dividends of ¥25.0 per share and year-end dividends of ¥25.0 per share for total annual dividends of ¥50.0 per share with the dividend payout ratio of 35.7%.
