The Company considers returning profits to shareholders one of its key management priorities. Through its medium-term plan, which began in the fiscal year ended March 2024, the Company has established a target to pay total dividends of ¥10.0 billion or more over the five-year period. The Company has adopted a “progressive dividend” policy for ordinary dividends. This policy aims to steadily increase dividends using cash flows from businesses that show stable profit growth as the primary source. Additionally, the Company will allocate a portion of income from its successful investment activities toward flexible shareholder returns. The actual shareholder return will be determined in consideration of its financial position, performance trends, future funding needs, etc.
The Company strives to further expand its business performance and enhance long-term and continuous shareholder returns to meet its shareholders’ expectations.
