Shareholder Returns
  • Our basic dividend policy is to continue paying stable dividends. In addition to allocating profits to growth investments for the future, we aim to increase cash dividends by not less than the previous year in line with growth in net income (EPS) per share in order to clarify our stance of emphasizing returns to shareholders.
  • The Company's policy is to acquire treasury shares in a flexible manner, comprehensively taking into account capital levels, equity-market conditions, and the impact on ROE, EPS growth.
  • See "Notice of Change in Dividend Policy" dated June 3, 2024.
Cash flow allocation In the current four-year medium-term management target (2025 to 2028), the Company will allocate operating cash flow of ¥15.4 billion and cash on hand to shareholder returns of ¥2.2 billion, and investment in growth of ¥17.8 billion (M&A of ¥12 billion, capital investment of ¥5.8 billion).
