Return to Stockholders

Approach to profit allocation

The Company’s basic policy is to continue stable dividend while securing retained earnings necessary to develop future businesses and strengthen management foundations. We will actively return profits to shareholders based on comprehensive consideration of performance and strategic investments.Specifically, we aim to achieve stable and sustainable dividend by using dividend on equity ratio (DOE), which is less susceptible to fluctuations in performance, as an index, with a lower limit of 1.8%. We also aim for a payout ratio of 30%.
The Company’s basic policy is to distribute surplus twice a year as interim dividend and year-end dividend. We have determined to pay both interim and year-end dividends by a resolution of the Board of Directors.
