Dividend policy
The Company regards the distribution of profits to shareholders as one of the most important management issues.
Its basic policy is to distribute profits in a stable and appropriate manner linked to business performance, with a guideline of payout ratio at 40% or more.
The Company pays dividends from surplus once each fiscal year as a year-end dividend, which is determined by a resolution of the annual General Meeting of Shareholders. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, the Company paid a cash dividend of 26 yen per share.
Based on the policy, the company plans to increase the annual dividend per share by 4 yen from the previous fiscal year to 30 yen for the fiscal year ending February 2026.
This includes an interim dividend of 14 yen and year-end dividend of 16 yen.
Retained earnings will be leveraged in a flexible manner, taking into consideration the balance between strategic investments to build a strong business structure, strengthening of the financial position, and the demand for funds.
