Dividend policy
We are committed to enhancing our corporate value by strengthening our earning power to enable sustainable growth and building a foundation for growth as a global company.
We position the return of profits to our shareholders as an important management task, we implement dividends based on the principle of stability and continuity while maintaining the soundness of our financial condition with a focus on capital efficiency.
Based on this policy, we aim to consider a consolidated dividend on equity (DOE) ratio of at least 3.0% and a consolidated dividend payout ratio of around 30% in a comprehensive manner.
Additionally, regarding the acquisition of treasury shares, we will excute it as appropriate, considering our financial situation and medium-to-long-term funding needs.
Our basic policy is to pay dividends from surplus twice a year as interim and year-end dividends. These dividends from surplus are decided at the general meeting of shareholders for year-end dividends and by the Board of Directors for interim dividends. Our Articles of Incorporation stipulate that we may pay interim dividends with September 30 as the record date.
