Shareholder Returns

Shareholder Return Policy

• We consider it as one of our most important management policies to increase corporate value and return profits to shareholders.
• Regarding dividends, our basic policy is to continue paying stable dividends in line with business performance, comprehensively taking into account factors such as business performance trends, financial conditions, and the maintenance of sufficient internal reserves necessary for future business development.
• We will flexibly acquire treasury stock.
• In the medium-term business plan “Vision 2030 StageⅡ,” we aim for a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40% toward the final year (FY2026).
• During the medium-term business plan (Vision 2030 StageⅡ) period (FY2024 to FY2026), we will maintain a dividend of equity ratio (DOE) of at least 3%.
