Shareholder Returns

Shareholder return policy

Regarding shareholder returns during the Medium-Term Business Plan 2028 period, in addition to paying dividends, we will flexibly repurchase stock, while giving priority to investment in growth areas and taking into account our financial situation.

Dividend policy

We have decided to raise the threshold for the dividend on equity ratio (DOE), which we have introduced as a lower limit indicator. We will, of course, maintain our basic policy of distributing profits appropriately based on business performance while maintaining financial soundness. During the Medium-Term Business Plan 2028 period, the dividend will be the higher of either a dividend payout ratio of 60% or a dividend on equity (DOE) of 3.0%.

Dividend amount

The new dividend policy is effective from the FY2025 interim dividend.
